On the way back, unlike the journey here, the Lu family was relaxed, slowly riding in the mule carriage, yet moving faster than initially.
They didn't need to rush to stay at courier stations this time; sometimes, when it was still early, they'd occasionally stop for a break, taking in the scenery or going mountain-herb-picking.
It was rare for the whole family to travel far from home together; it was like a sightseeing trip, broadening their experiences.
Halfway through, some of the food that had been prepared was consumed, and seeing some space freed up in the carriage, Shu Yu purchased two potted plants and planted sunflower seeds right there.
Now was the perfect season for sowing.
The sunflower Shu Yu had planted in Righteous Dao Village was already quite tall, though likely because it was planted in winter, it looked somewhat lackluster, but it had thankfully survived.
