THEY TRUNDLED on for another thirty or forty li. Ke Zhen’e reckoned that it must be dusk, for he could hear crows squawking and croaking. But wait … He listened; this was no ordinary murder of crows. He could hear hundreds and thousands of them, flapping their wings, cawing, shrieking. They must be in the vicinity of Iron Spear Temple. Nowhere else near Jiaxing was home to so many of the birds.

The temple had been built to honor General Wang Yanzhang, who lived three hundred years ago, during the Five Dynasties era. Near the main temple complex there was a pagoda, in the roof of which crows had nested for generations. The local people believed these birds were soldiers and generals from the heavens, so their habitat was never disturbed and the colony thrived.

Ke weighed up their options. The army might still be looking for them and he could not trust the local people not to give them away.
