Hua Country had a large population, and many people traveled abroad annually; neighboring countries like T Country were often visited by Hua Country tourists.
This Hua Country tourist had previously visited the Imperial Palace, where a local guide had told him this story, though not in such detail.
The guide had merely pointed to a palace gate and mentioned that a cruel King was hanged here. Before his death, his skin was even turned into a kite.
The bus drove for two or three hours, and some tourists expressed a desire to use the restroom.
The driver stopped on a mountainous dirt road, which led to towering mountains.
"Rest here for half an hour, and don't wander off!" the ticket collector yelled in broken English, "If you get lost, we won't come looking for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several tourists in urgent need hastily ran into the forest.
Qin Zhao and her two companions also got off the bus. She stood by the bus and looked toward the distant mountains.
