Nan Feng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was with Ye Ge; if not, she might have exhausted herself carrying the game to the town alone.
As they left the village, Nan Feng and Ye Ge encountered a few villagers. They all quietly chuckled when they saw them, but stifled their laughter when they spotted Aunt Lan.
Aunt Lan was returning from the vegetable field, carrying two manure buckets on her shoulders. Upon seeing Nan Feng, she asked: "Feng girl, where are you two off to?"
"We're heading to town," Nan Feng honestly replied with a smile.
"To town?" Aunt Lan exclaimed in surprise. She had only been to the town once for a temple fair when she was married off at the age of forty. The way Nan Feng spoke about going to town was as nonchalant as visiting the vegetable field to pick some vegetables.
"Are you going with Ye Ge?" Aunt Lan inquired further.
"Yes, Ye Ge is taking me there," Nan Feng answered.
"Does...your father know?" Aunt Lan was still concerned.
