At the break of dawn, the people at the inn began to stir, and some guests emerged from their rooms, immediately noticing a few individuals lying in the corridor!
"Oh! Why are they sleeping in the corridor? Are they sick?"
Some guests gathered in threes and fours, pointing and whispering about those lying in the corridor!
"What is that person holding in their hand?"
"It looks like sedatives. Oh, they might be criminals!"
Some guests noticed something suspicious about these individuals; their attire was too peculiar, reminiscent of the tricks used by those who roamed the worldly society, something travelers always guarded against!
Seeing these individuals, the guests dared not get too close, nor did they dare to uncover their face cloths. Seeing their exposed skin, it seemed as if they were frozen stiff!
The commotion from the guests brought out the innkeeper and the staff!
