The city gate was right in front of him, and Liang Meng's legs, which felt like they were filled with lead, could no longer move.
There was a tea stall not far from the city gate. Liang Meng walked in and collapsed directly on the chair in the tea stall. He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to breathe.
