Back at the guesthouse, both Wang Yongzhu and Old Granny Zhang were waiting, especially Old Granny Zhang, who kept peeking out to check if Song Chongjin and Yao Da had returned.
Finally hearing some commotion at the courtyard gate, she went to take a look, and indeed it was Song Chongjin returning.
Hurriedly, she had Gu Yu fetch water for Song Chongjin to wash up; the day was getting hotter.
While on the boat, it didn't feel so intense, but once off the boat, it was clear how strong it was.
Feng County, situated on a plain, had the midday sun shining bright on the ground. Sitting inside with windows and doors open, only a slight breeze would occasionally blow in.
Just moving around a little would leave one drenched in sweat, let alone coming in from outside.
Upon reaching the guesthouse, Wang Yongzhu noticed Old Granny Zhang was extremely hot. Being near the mountains, Qilidun was cooler than other places.
