In February, the weather was already somewhat warming for the Capital.
However, that was only during the daytime.
As the evening approached, it was still very cold. At the very least, the thick cotton jacket couldn't be taken off.
For the Northwest, however, February was still winter. The cold was something that needed no further mention.
The cold wind was blowing, making it nearly unbearable. The spring wind was even more piercing than in winter. Elders often say that spring calls for layering up, and that's exactly what they mean.
There is a saying in the North: the spring wind blows and shatters the glazed tiles.
The Northwest is always arid, and come springtime, when the wind rises, it is terrifying. To say it blankets the sky, with flying sand and rolling pebbles, is no exaggeration. (Truly!!!)
After more than a month of escape, Nian Gengyao and Song Nanbao now only had four people with them.
