Before nightfall, the father and daughter drove their cart back to the main street and found an inn to rest in, as close to the city gate as possible.
The inn was a bit smaller and not as nice as the one they stayed at previously, but it was adequate. They ordered food and asked the staff to bring it to their room, resolving their hunger.
After eating, Hua Jin didn't forget to let the puppies, who had been cooped up in bamboo baskets all day, run around, drink some water, eat, and relieve themselves.
The more Hua Jin looked at the puppies, the more she liked them.
They had stayed in the basket almost the entire day, only being let out around noon until they reached the inn at night, and surprisingly none of these puppies had any accidents in the basket, which was quite impressive for puppies just over a month old. They were simply so well-behaved.
When she let them out, Hua Jin held each one tightly for a moment and gave them names.
