The townspeople's clothing was all very old-fashioned... Such attire is no longer worn in the present-day Shuzhou Region, except in some tourist-oriented ancient towns and villages, where such retro clothes are sold under the name of "handicrafts."
Sun Hang glanced around the street, three men and four women, plus two little girls, a total of nine townspeople... To the naked eye, they looked completely normal humans, with no signs of physical mutation.
However, Sun Hang quickly noticed something unusual: all the villagers, whether male or female, looked sallow and emaciated, except for the two little girls, who were plump and rosy, forming a sharp contrast with the adults.
"This town... is there a food shortage?" Sun Hang wondered, "But why is there such a stark difference between 'adults' and 'children'?"
As he walked, he pondered, brushing past a "middle-aged woman" who was too preoccupied counting the things in her basket to even glance at Sun Hang.
