Riding the cool night breeze, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng sat on a cart from Liu Family Village to Er Gui Village.
On the way, Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng chatted intermittently.
It was all very ordinary stuff, but both were especially relaxed.
By the time they arrived at Er Gui Village, the moon had already risen overhead, and its bright light illuminated the ground beneath them, allowing them to see even distant scenes.
Lu Yuanfeng parked the cart behind his house, tied the horse, secured the cart, and set off with Mu Shuangshuang, carrying a burlap sack.
During the day, the vegetables they saw, by nightfall, became possessions for Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng.
They sneaked into the cotton field and visited the vegetable patch at Ma Houhou's house, selected a few ripe vegetables, and were about to leave when they heard faint, shaky footsteps approaching.
