Chapter 9: People Change
The next day at noon, Mute Bay.
An old awning boat quietly moored by the water's edge. Tea boats were known for their good quality and low prices, for three coins you could drink barley tea at the bow all day long, and the stove at the stern was always burning brightly.
The scattered customers were mostly porters and craftsmen, currently sitting casually on the boat deck chatting.
Today was the day the childhood friends from Mute Bay had agreed to gather.
In a corner at the stern, Chen Qing, Liang Badou, Xiao Chun, Er Ya, Li Hu and others sat in a circle.
The slightly oversized dark blue long robe on Liang Badou made him seem less rough than before, adding some deliberately cultivated "maturity."
He cleared his throat, speaking with barely contained pride, "In a while, there's another person coming."
"Who?" Er Ya immediately asked curiously.
Chen Qing and the others also cast inquiring glances.
