Chapter 6 - 4 Walking through the Woods and Graves_2
Xu Qing lay among a stack of corpses, not knowing what to do.
As the cart wheels creaked, he peered outside through the rough burlap holes.
The cobblestone-paved streets already showed signs of life. As soon as the early-rising street vendors called out, the streets that had been silent all night instantly came to life.
The aroma of steamed buns and buns filled the air, accompanied by the distinctive scent of warm tofu.
A bean vendor used a bamboo ladle to scoop up the soy milk, the bright white liquid tracing a smooth arc through the air before settling in the soup bowl.
Xu Qing watched the lively scene outside through the gaps, thinking that perhaps the soybeans used to make the soy milk were the ones he had ground the day before, or that he had contributed to the flour used for the steamed buns and buns...
The corpse-transporting cart rolled over the bustling streets, but Liu Youdao, walking behind it, felt none of the liveliness.
He only felt it was noisy.
The dead were still quiet.
Thinking about the incident at the Cui Family workshop this morning, Liu Youdao felt even more stifled.
Although he wasn't a particularly prominent figure in the mortuary business, during his years driving corpses in Xiangyin, who wouldn't give him some face?
