Zhu Wencong rode in a horse-drawn carriage to Songjiang County town, an ancient city with an old-world charm, its towering walls isolating it from the outside world.
Upon opening the curtain, one could clearly see the Qing soldiers guarding the city gate, prompting Su Yanqiao to take out her camera and snap a photo of them.
As soon as the Qing soldiers saw the camera flash, they immediately panicked, as if their souls had been snatched away by the camera.
But they truly didn't dare to intercept the convoy of foreigners; after a brief check and finding no issues, they allowed passage directly.
Zhu Wencong took Su Yanqiao's hand as they stepped down from the carriage, walking into the city together. It was his first time setting foot in a county town under the Qing court, and what entered his view was the bustling street.
