Before Su Jingchen could speak, a nearby villager shouted loudly, "The mountain has collapsed, this road surely can't be used anymore. You should take a detour, or you might not make it to Yangzhou City today."
"How do you know we're heading to Yangzhou City?" Su Jingchen suddenly looked at the villager who spoke.
The villager was a bit unnerved by Su Jingchen's gaze, "I... I guessed!
Aren't you heading to Yangzhou City?"
Su Jingchen jumped down from the carriage, "We are going to Yangzhou City, my friend. If we're to take a detour, which road is closer?"
"I know the way, and I'm heading to Yangzhou City as well. You have a carriage, and I know the road. Why not give me a lift?"
Su Jingchen sized up the villager, noticing that as soon as he got off the carriage, the other villagers backed away a few steps, discussing the mountain's sudden collapse from afar.
