Lin Wanwan made a fork-hand gesture respectfully and replied, "I was traveling the world with my elder martial brother and unfortunately got separated. Madam, may I ask how to get to the dock?"
"You wish to take a boat back?" The elderly woman raised her eyelids and looked eastward saying, "Then you head east, you'll soon walk out of this forest. Then you'll see the official road, if you encounter a Han gentleman on the official road, do seek his help. If not, you keep heading in this direction.
