Chapter 864: The Old Gentleman
“If we head north and turn east at a good pace, we should reach the Sheng River in about two days and cross into Jindi by nightfall.”
Yan Land was not particularly large, but its roads were treacherously difficult to travel.
Once the rain fell, the paths turned into a muddy mire. The horse could find no purchase, its hooves slipping easily in the muck.
And since it was the height of the rainy season, the journey had grown even more arduous.
Lihua despised the rain, but Yu Hongjin absolutely loved it. Fish naturally gravitated toward water, while cats feared it, feeling miserable at the mere sight of it.
On rainy days, the cat hid inside the horse carriage, burrowing securely into Yunxiang's arms. This made Yu Hongjin jealous, sparking a fierce argument between the fish and the feline.
Yunxiang had to mediate from the sidelines, and when words failed, she resorted to action. She was a gentle woman, but she showed no mercy to the childish antics of Yu Hongjin and Lihua.
Both the fish and the cat received a firm smack on their bottoms. Lihua in particular took a hit that set its belly jiggling.
The two of them felt terribly wronged.
