She watched as he paced back and forth, acting as if he were unable to decide between the figurines of Sanzu and those of the local wildlife. Hong Fei sighed at how long Ma Shun was taking, and that seemed a sign for the shopkeeper to strike. She came up beside him and said with a kindly voice, \u201cThe ferret badger may seem an unassuming animal at first, but farmers keep them near their storehouses to hunt rats and other rodents.\u201d<\/p>\n

She picked up the figurine in front of him with obvious pride. \u201cThis one is a product of our workshop, crafted by a master artisan.\u201d Hong Fei had been looking without looking, relying on his peripheral vision to keep track of his surroundings while his attention remained fixed on Ma Shun.<\/p>\n

Now, he examined the figurine more closely. The one in front of him was indeed of a ferret badger. Its lines were sharp, yet there was a spiritedness missing\u2014a liveliness Little River Stick had been able to capture. The shop was perhaps not as good as Hong Fei had expected. The shopkeeper saw the slight frown on his face, and her own smile faded. \u201cDo you have a thought about the quality of our artisans?\u201d she asked, her left brow twitching. \u201cNo, no, this is fine,\u201d Hong Fei replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it seems you do,\u201d the shopkeeper observed. \u201cI can see it\u2014\u201d She paused when Hong Fei looked up and she saw the entirety of his face, covered in scabs. \u201cAre you an artisan working in stone?\u201d she asked. \u201cYou dare to make judgements about my art?\u201d At this, Hong Fei decided it was time to leave. He would let Ma Shun sleep for now and observe him at night instead, yet the shopkeeper grabbed his shoulder before he could leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to see you produce something better,\u201d she pressed. \u201cWhere\u2019s your workshop?\u201d Hong Fei wondered at what exactly he\u2019d done to anger her. \u201cI assure you, I don\u2019t think poorly of the craftsmanship. I\u2019m sure the quality is fine for the clientele you serve.\u201d The shopkeeper\u2019s grip tightened. \u201cYou\u2026 you wouldn\u2019t recognize good craftsmanship if it smacked you in the face! Or was that what happened to you already?<\/p>\n

Did the stone rebel under your clumsy hands?\u201d Hong Fei\u2019s frown deepened. He shook off her grip and turned to leave in earnest.<\/p>\n

His heart raced at the sound of the rapid drumming of their hooves. The riders were either soldiers or bandits. No one else would drive their mounts so, and in such numbers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
