Back when he was running errands in Jingxi Territory, Tan Bin always felt he was busy—either learning various trades and skills, not aiming for perfection but hoping to get by, spending no small amount of time. He had to practice his martial arts every day to keep from getting rusty, and unless it was the yearly Rest Day in January, he basically didn't have any leisure at all.
But after coming to Beach Stone, Tan Bin realized that his former life hadn't really been that busy; these days, not even having time to touch the ground with his feet, that was true busyness.
Before dawn he had to be on the carriage, then help with loading goods—all the way until nightfall, and aside from taking a leak, meals were just dry rations eaten on the carriage.
After half a month of this, Tan Bin's appetite nearly doubled, and his whole body got oily and dark from the sun.
