Skipping Class!

Feeling a slight grumbling in his stomach, Di Tou couldn't help but speed up a little, causing a bout of discontent from the anxious vendors behind him. One vendor even called out, "Ah! Twenty-five silvers, don't run away!" 

Hearing this, Di Tou couldn't help but feel a little abashed and really did slow down a little.

Still, because of the time he took wandering around and exploring on the way out, Di Tou was able to return to the dojo in about the same amount of time that it took for him to find the vendors, even after considering the slow rate at which the vendors moved, thanks to their heavy carts.

Arriving at the dojo, Di Tou called out, "Haha, everyone, thank you for your hard work today. Brother Wu thought everyone might be hungry and sent me out to get some food."
