The vast blue sky stretched on and on, and the Qing Head Cart slowly advanced along a narrow road, its thick wheels rolling over the ice and snow, spraying up a misty haze, the moments quietly serene.
Xu Yuan lazily stretched, reclining on the soft bed, casually opened the window, and gazed towards both sides of the official road.
Distant mountains dark as ink, a crystal-clear stream splitting the banks, the magnificent landscape of the Central Plains hills instantly caught his eyes.
The scenery was beautiful, but the look in Xu Yuan's eyes carried a hint of weariness.
Since leaving the capital, it has been more than a month already, and even the most beautiful landscape can become tedious after several months.
The only consolation could be that the scenery outside has undergone some minute changes over time.
