Cheng Shi could well imagine what the craftsmen must have been thinking when they were paving the road and planting grass: The grass on the road I pave is the best in the world, these idiots can’t compare to me!
Perhaps it is with this "I am the best" attitude that this small mountain town can be built so beautifully.
He walked along a sparsely populated trail, no longer asking questions proactively. Instead, when he met people passing by, he would quietly stop and listen to what they were saying.
This method of intelligence gathering allows people to learn about local gossip more quickly when they have no idea what to do. Discussing gossip is one of the most popular lifestyles of ordinary people. Even the believers of "Foolishness" are not immune to it. These gossip contents often represent the hot spots of a place and are inseparable from the current situation they are experiencing.
Sure enough, after listening to a few small talk, Cheng Shi heard a person's name many times in the conversations of passers-by:

Cheng Shi wasn't in a rush to track down Kirshner. He wanted to observe and see if there were any recent events related to the Mocking Eyes. But after listening around, the most common clues he found about eyes were from the people of this small town...
Every pair of their eyes seemed to be full of mockery, and they did not hesitate to express their contempt for others.
Cheng Shi had no choice but to expand the scope of information collection and go to other areas.
But just when he was about to leave the street, the end of the long street suddenly lit up.
A bald head appeared in his sight.
