A man was slumped there.
To be more accurate, it was not known whether he had fainted or was dead. His entire upper body was sprawled within the running stream and as he was lying face down, his face could not be seen. But judging from the quality of the light brown clothes on his body, his family must have been quite well to do.
The clothes around his abdominal region was a ghastly red and his head was bleeding as well. Although he was lying face down in the stream water, he was lucky as where he was sprawled over, there was a slightly larger piece of rock bulging out slightly higher than the water's surface, which kept his face from being submerged under water. If not, even if he did not die from loss of blood, it was thought he would have drowned.
It was because his body was lying in the stream that the blood flowing out from his head and abdomen had naturally followed the water and flowed downstream.
