A brisk chime resonated through the air, accompanied by the muffled sound of approaching horse hooves. Along the official road, a carriage emerged, adorned with azure curtains, its sedan curtain tightly drawn.
Driving the carriage was a man in his fifties, who briskly glanced at the roadside skeletal remains. Without hesitation, he flicked the reins, urging the horse to hasten its pace.
