Xiang City isn't far from Qingshan Village, just over three hundred li. By carriage, it's a three-and-a-half-day journey.
At the People's Message Bureau, when they heard it was a death notification, they charged two liang of silver, sealed it in a white envelope with black borders, and sent it out with a fast horse. The messenger bypassed the county town at midnight and reached Qingshan Village.
Before dawn, the messenger didn't want to ask around from door to door, so he rested at the village entrance for a while. As soon as the day broke, when people started moving around, the messenger immediately approached and asked, "Excuse me, uncle, where is the Jiang family, Jiang Hua's household, located here?"
The villager gave the messenger directions and detailed the location, and the messenger quickly rode over.
Reaching the courtyard gate, the messenger knocked urgently, "bang bang bang bang."
Knocking on the door mustn't be done chaotically.
