"Oh, this place is Xiaosang Village in Miao Province, thirty miles west is Zisang Town."
The old farmer smiled kindly, sizing up Shen Wang and Paper Kite: "You two walk with a steady step, I suppose you practice martial arts."
"My wife and I have indeed learned some skills for self-defense."
Shen Wang smiled: "Do you know in which direction Xi Province is?"
"To the east, just follow this road towards the sun for half a day and you'll enter Xi Province, you two seem to come from there."
The old farmer was very clever, he could tell where Shen Wang and Paper Kite were from just by listening.
"More or less, my wife is pregnant and gets a bit tired from traveling in the mountains. Is it possible to rest at someone's house in the village?"
Shen Wang expressed his need; he didn't mind about resting, but it was tough for Paper Kite to keep pacing with him.
"If you don't mind, my humble home can accommodate you temporarily, please follow me."
