Chapter 323 Someone Has Ideas: A Well-Intentioned Warning (4)_1
The streets were lined with an increasing number of commoners, forming thick walls of people on both sides. Those sitting inside the hall couldn’t see any of the goings-on along the street. Unable to contain themselves, some who had already paid for their tea and snacks ran out to join the crowd.
With the first gone, quickly followed a second, and before long, the whole hall was left with a sparse few elderly who could not jostle with the others.
Mo Yan, who was sitting by the window and couldn’t see anything either, thought it over and decided to settle her bill and squeeze in with the crowd. She had come all the way to see Xiao Ruiyuan off; if she couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him, what kind of send-off would that be?
"Stop pushing from behind, everyone’s almost getting squashed!"
"Move back, move back! My belt came off from the pushing; let me through to find it."
"Ouch, my foot’s about to be crushed; does anyone have to push that hard?"
...
The accumulating crowd all clamored not to push, but there were so few spots with a good view that everybody wanted to be at the front. No one gave way, and so the pushing became even worse!
Mo Yan had intended to find a quieter spot just to catch a glimpse of Xiao Ruiyuan, but with so many people, even if she didn’t push, others pushed her. In the midst of the jostling, she found herself in the middle, and with one more push, she ended up at the very front, nearly crashing her head into the cold, hard armor of an Imperial Guard.
