The sky is dark, thunderclouds hanging low.
The entire Great Chang City has every household's door closed shut.
Doo—!
The deep sound of a horn echoes between the mountains and waters.
Creak~
The door of one household opens, and a woman in a bamboo hat and raincoat steps out, full of devotion, holding offerings in her hands.
Subsequently, the doors of one household after another open.
Women dressed similarly step out from their homes, all carrying various offerings, converging towards the dock.
The ones coming out are all the married women of the households.
Unmarried girls and the men stay at home.
At the same time, the gates of the Bai Family mansion also open.
Women of the Life Fate Association, all dressed in white, wearing bamboo hats, veiled with white gauze, hold incense and candles in their hands, with a few carrying gourds.
Li Yan and others are dressed similarly, wearing white robes, with their faces covered by bamboo hats and white gauze.
