An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The time for his rendezvous with Wu Guifang was upon him.
Liu Ergou immediately got up, carelessly threw on some clothes, and tiptoed outside. Soon, he was outside the courtyard.
Once clear of the courtyard, Liu Ergou stopped holding back and strode toward the dilapidated temple at the eastern end of the village.
What would normally have been a half-hour journey took him a little over ten minutes.
Upon arriving at the temple entrance, Liu Ergou suddenly remembered something. Although he had arranged to meet Wu Guifang here, he had been too impatient in the cave earlier…
I wonder if she'll still come.
Looking at the temple entrance, Liu Ergou bit his lip and decided to go in anyway.
I've come all this way. I can't just leave, can I?
Once inside, he saw that the temple was empty aside from some broken statues and a few piles of dry straw. But he wasn't anxious; he decided to wait patiently.
