Chapter 1 Corpse Worker Mill
Linhe District has a fairly large mill, and the grain, flour, and oil ground daily are not only enough for every household in Linhe District, but there's also surplus to supply outsiders who come to purchase or barter.
However, it's quite strange that such a thriving mill never seems to have craftsmen or workers going out to buy donkey or mule forage, nor is there any mule or donkey dung being transported out.
Gossipy travelers in the martial world speculate that if you follow the water route south from Linhe District, you'll reach the Xiangjiang River Basin, and that instead of donkeys or mules powering the mill, it's actually filled with Wandering Corpses brought in from Xiangyin!
Wandering Corpses are also known as Zombies. At first, people were skeptical of these claims, but later, some officials stepped in to clarify, arresting some of the gossipy travelers and publicly stating that these people were simply jealous of the mill's success and deliberately slandered it out of spite.
As for the fate of those gossipy travelers, it remained as obscure as the rumors themselves.
...
Within the thriving trade and transportation hub of Dayong lies Linhe District.
The hustle and bustle of porters carrying and hauling goods was overshadowed by the raucous laughter and curses of the patrons in the gambling dens and brothels, so much so that even the crashing waves of the hundred-mile-wide Baisha River at the dock's edge couldn't drown out the lively atmosphere of Linhe District.
Southwest of the district, in a large mill, Xu Qing, who had been in a dazed state day in and day out, seemed to awaken slightly at the lively atmosphere outside.
Roll, just keep rolling!
Tired, so very tired!
