The Enigma of the Yishui Monster Chapter 54

In late autumn, the official roads in Songjiang Prefecture are lined with red maple trees. The densely packed branches are like fence posts because no one has taken care of them for many years. This has prevented wild animals from coming out of the mountains and forests on both sides to hurt people.

The red maple trees are ripe, with brick-colored octagonal leaves half hanging on the branches and half falling on the ground, forming a thick velvet carpet.

Horses had an easy time on the road, but vehicles suffered. The wheels were often caught in maple leaves or stuck in potholes under the leaves.

Towards evening, Ethan Zhan and Bai Yuting rode two horses, one red and one white, leisurely on the official road leading into the city.

Calculating the time, it was estimated that they could enter Songjiang Prefecture by dark. The wind was strong at sea recently, and the boatmen did not raise anchor at night. Therefore, the two of them had to stay in the inn in the prefecture for one night and take a boat to Xiankong Island early tomorrow morning.
