Story Four Hundred and Forty-Three · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Ghost Runners

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on a winter country road in daylight outside a walled town, two travellers with bundles on their backs, one leaning on a staff with a hand on his chest, listen in alarm to two men dressed as yamen runners, one raising his palm in warning and pointing down a side track, the other clasping a cloth-wrapped dispatch, with a willow, a roadside stone marker, a stone arch bridge, dry reeds and a town wall with a gate tower behind them.
