Episode 24 : The White Steel Fan – Chapter 3

Their boat moved with the flow of the river until the day was over, and they could have some rest in it. In the next morning the weather was clear, and when Jinshui woke up he found Xu Qiao still asleep. The girl sat against the boat's wall and her eyes tightly closed. Jinshui didn't want to wake her up and he carefully covered her with his robe, stroked her hair once.

He moved to sit at the back of the boat and looked around. His current place was a valley different from the one in Wansui Gu, the stream surrounded by mountainous cliffs in the distance. Up on the cliff was a wide road, presumably leading to a village or small town not far away.
