Grandma Zhou was nowhere to be found at the moment, clearly not inside the house. Unable to locate the landlord to ask for the location of the convenience store, Gu Nuan set out alone to search for it within the village.
The village was neither too big nor too small, but to Gu Nuan, it was an unfamiliar place. She didn't dare wander to the outskirts and kept to the more populated areas in the village. The lanes were intricate and complex, old alleys built of earth that felt like a maze to anyone not from around there.
Passing by, she saw several shops clustered together, selling stationery and daily necessities. Gu Nuan approached and inquired about the prices, which were reasonable, not too expensive. However, the quality of the goods clearly left much to be desired—they were the sort that even Big White Dog would disdain, just cheap street stall merchandise.
