As the carriage drew closer to Hangul Village, the sun had already begun its slow descent towards the western mountains.
The familiar dirt road stretched ahead, its uneven surface causing the carriage to rock gently as the wheels rolled over it. Inside, Han Yan and Wei Jun continued their conversation, occasionally exchanging a few remarks as the familiar village scenery gradually came into view.
Before long, the carriage arrived at the village entrance and came to a stop.
Han Yan and Wei Jun climbed down, gathering their purchases before moving aside. Han Yan adjusted the bags in his hands while Wei Jun straightened his clothes, which had become slightly rumpled during the journey.
"We're finally back," Wei Jun remarked, letting out a small breath.
Han Yan smiled. "Indeed. It's getting rather late. You should head home and get some rest."
