?Chapter 319: Chapter 306: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain Chapter 319: Chapter 306: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain With increasing twilight, the sky gradually darkens. Shi Bao, who was driving the carriage, whipped the horses a few more times.
However, the carriage could not surpass the speed of approaching nightfall. Soon the darkness descended, making it increasingly difficult to see ahead. Shi Bao lit a lantern, which was held by Shen Quan, and they unavoidably had to slow the pace.
“I apologize for the late return, Miss Zhuang, given all the trouble you went to today,” Ding Gaochang said, his face full of remorse.
“No trouble at all,” Zhuang Qingning answered with a laugh, “I was engrossed in discussion with Village Chief Miao and lost track of time. It’s dark outside, we need to be cautious on our journey. It won’t hurt us to return a bit late.”
Safety first.
“Yes.” Ding Gaochang lifted the curtain and instructed Shi Bao to drive more carefully. He then took out a mung bean cake that he brought specially for the journey and offered it to Zhuang Qingning.
Given the mediocre culinary skills of Village Chief Miao’s wife, Zhuang Qingning found the midday meal unappealing and, therefore, ate very little. At this time, she was quite hungry and accepted the mung bean cake from Ding Gaochang without hesitation.
The mung bean cake was sweet, glutinous, yet not greasy. It tasted good even when eaten with the water from their flask, making her half-full.
After eating, she casually started a conversation with Ding Gaochang.
The moon rose and cast its bright light all over the land, making it resemble dawn. The route ahead became more visible and Shi Bao was able to guide the carriage slightly faster.
