The ordinary, everyday life was lying in the alley

The alleys of the Shuixian Temple Market were as intricate as a maze. The narrow alleys are lined with stores. As an outsider, I found this kind of market atmosphere very appealing. It is fun to wander around, excited to see what is at the end of the alley. But for the locals, this is just a part of their daily life. It is a usual street, a usual scene.

The people working in the market mainly deal with locals. So they don't seem to pay any attention to a foreigner like me wandering around the alley. I was walking along, blending in with the locals and soaking up the unique atmosphere to my heart's content.

I looked over and saw a woman standing in one corner of the alley with a mop in her hand. Beyond her, I see a man washing a washbasin. Their actions are nothing special. Just sweeping and washing. Still, that casual scene was strangely fitting in as a part of this market.
