Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng spent a long time outside gazing at the moon, sharing many intimate words.
Mu Shuangshuang's head rested on Lu Yuanfeng's shoulder, allowing her to thoroughly enjoy the feeling of having someone to lean on.
Not until villagers began to trickle out of Cheng Dagang's house,
did Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng part ways. She stood up, dusted off her clothes, and said to Lu Yuanfeng:
"Fengzi, let's go over and take a look. Let's ask Elder Cheng if he has arranged a place for us to stay. If he has, we should rest early as it's been a tiring day.
If not, we can go into the city. After all, it's not far from here."
Ever since the earthquake in Yulin County, the gates of the city have been different from usual at night—
they remain open in the evening to ensure that the court's supplies can be delivered to the city without delay.
This convenient situation allowed Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng, and others like them, to enter the city even at night.
