Knowing that Luo Ziling had things to do, Yang Qingyin didn't cling to him but returned indoors after accompanying him for a stroll.
Once inside, Luo Ziling called Fang Dongxun out, saying he wanted to gather some medicines beneficial for health and didn't want other women to follow. Fang Dongxun understood Luo Ziling's intent and cheerfully accompanied him out of the house.
The two did not head to the back hills but instead passed through the village and small bridge, walking in the direction where Lin Lan had previously collapsed injured.
It was already seven in the evening. Around this time, it would be almost dark in Yanjing, but in the Northwest, the sky was still bright, with the sun hanging high.
There was wind on the grassland; though the sun was quite fierce, it didn't feel hot.
