Lu Qing's hometown was in the mountainous region of the eastern part of Xijiang Province. Driving out from East Sea City, one could reach the entrance of the village in three and a half hours—of course, that was provided Qin Tian kept to the highways nearly the entire way, without any traffic jams.
Rural transport had become rather convenient, however, the roads in Shilin Village, where Lu Qing's home was located, were still made of gravel. Qin Tian drove to Shilin Town and then walked back home with Lu Qing.
Shilin Village was under the jurisdiction of Shilin Town. From the streets of Shilin Town, the distance to Shilin Village was only about two li.
Because they had to walk, and they had lots of big and small bags, Qin Tian and Lu Qing didn't bring the Zhonghua Cigarettes and Moutai bottles, not even the clothes they bought for Lu Qing's parents. Each carried only a gift box in their hands.
