After putting some heavy items into her spatial storage, leaving only a few pieces of clothing in the bamboo basket, and carrying her bag, Buling returned to the county town feeling relaxed.
The courtyard was very quiet, except for Wang Ersao washing clothes with cold water in the yard. When she saw Buling, she greeted her, "Little Bu, you're back? So early this year?"
