After leaving the Capital City, the group headed southward along the road.
For the first half of the month, snow blanketed the landscape, making their journey difficult. Gradually, the scenery changed, and heavy snow gave way to biting, gusty winds and a damp cold that seeped into their bones.
"Why is it both cold and hot at the same time?"
While taking a break at the posting station, Tan'er asked with confusion.
Meng Qianqian replied, "Warm during the day, cold at night. Remember to layer your clothes in the morning and evening."
Tan'er pouted, "Got it."
She bounced outside, shouting, "Xiao Bai! Time to go hunting!"
The moment Bai Yuwei climbed down from the carriage, she was roped into the hunt. "Hey, is this *your* homecoming or *mine*? How come you're more excited than I am?"
Meng Qianqian smiled faintly and went to check on Shang Changle in the guesthouse.
