The crowd was mainly gathered in the small square.
Although the comedy show hadn't started yet, a group of children had already carried their little stools to the front of the stage to wait.
A few of them were still too young; they were saving two spots each and couldn't help but doze off.
Other children kept looking around, wondering why their families hadn't hurried over yet.
After the demolition and reconstruction of Maitian Village, a portion of the area had been allocated to the square. It could now easily accommodate several thousand people, though it was hard to say if those at the back would be able to see or hear once the performance actually began.
As Leech walked along, people constantly bowed and greeted him.
Everyone has a vain side. As he walked, the crowd would automatically part, and people would call out, "Greetings, Lord." It was so gratifying that Leech was tempted to say, "You've all worked hard," on several occasions.
