The thin man drunkenly raised his head, gave a silly smile, pointed ahead, and said, "It's right up ahead."
The young woman's little son had disappeared months ago, and her family was in a state of panic. They searched everywhere but couldn't find him, and there was no news even after reporting it to the government office. Just as they were desperate, the thin man's words caught her attention, and she quickly asked, "Ahead? Where ahead?"
The thin man suddenly burst into laughter: "Are you stupid? Ahead, of course, means the inn."
Finally, he pretended to be mysterious and placed his index finger near his mouth: "Shh...! Keep it down, I'm telling you, this matter was ordered by The Emperor, you can't let it out, or it'll be off with your head! Ahahaha...!"
After saying this, he laughed madly again.
Those whose families hadn't lost a little kid were indifferent, thinking the man looked shifty and clearly wasn't a good person, plus drunken words couldn't be trusted.
