Zhao Cheng'an swaggered into the city with Xia Sheng and Chen Qiusheng. It was obvious he rarely came to the city. After squatting outside the city for two months, everything seemed new to him just like Xia Sheng, and he wished he had eyes on the back of his head to look around with no blind spots.
When the three of them entered the city, it was almost completely dark. Beiping City at night had nothing to do with bustle and excitement—there were no night markets, nor was it brightly lit. Even the houses where ordinary residents lived were completely dark.
Lighting a lamp at night was a luxury, and one should economize whenever possible.
Of course, the three of them couldn't visit places that were brightly lit.
