Stopping and going along the way, a journey that should have taken only a few hours dragged on until it was nearly dark.
Bai Suihe noticed that the weather here was much warmer than in Zhang County, and she even spotted many tropical plants. "If we were exiled here, it wouldn't be too bad."
Gu Kaiyuan agreed, "The climate here is better, and there are many more varieties of fruit. Lychees, which are very scarce in the capital, can be found right here."
Bai Suihe, of course, knew the geography of this place. This was the Guangdong Province of later generations, and it was much closer to the sea.
"Then, when summer comes, we'll return to taste the fresh lychees." Seeing the setting sun on the horizon, Bai Suihe asked, "Can we make it to the county town before dark?"
Gu Kaiyuan replied, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If we can't make it, we can stay overnight in a nearby village."
