Chapter 3: No Worry About a Thousand Li Journey
“Mister, according to rumors, the fog spirit on this road is not easy to handle!” Fear lingered in Mr. Li’s heart. “It has been causing trouble here for more than a few months. Before this, Nanhua County’s administrative office asked a master from a temple to come but he wasn’t able to settle this matter. After heavy rain, a mountain fog has arisen. This has been convenient for the fog spirit…”
Someone said, “Yes, also it’s dark and the road is slippery…”
Another said, “How about this? You can wait until dawn tomorrow and look for it when the weather is fine?”
Mr. Chen said, “If you go, I am willing to come with you!”
Everyone spoke at once and most of them tried to persuade Song You not to go.
While concern was implied, they probably didn’t want him to leave either, which was merely due to human nature. They spoke so much that Song You didn’t know who to reply to for a moment. He continued to stare at the fire for a few seconds and finally decided not to reply one by one. He only said to Mr. Chen, “You should remain here.”
He had made his attitude clear.
This Mr. Chen was a particular person who was both trustworthy and courageous. No matter how good his abilities were, such a person was worthy of respect.
After this, Song You was unwilling to say any more.
