Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The three escorts were very skilled in driving and riding horses. The equipment in the escort agency was limited to begin with, so the three of them only brought one horse. The remaining two simply sat on the Lu family’s mule carriage to drive.
When the female escort drove the carriage, Daya would sit on the shaft of the carriage and learn from her.
This way, if such a situation happened again in the future, she would be able to drive the carriage herself.
Madame Ruan was originally timid, so she wanted to learn from her this time. Now, she finally understood. If she had the conditions, she would learn more skills. Who knows, she might be able to use them in the future.
The old lady and the two children were not old enough, so they could only sit in the car.
Their speed was not fast, but it was not slow either. The most important thing now was to see Shu Yu first, and then slowly follow behind them.
The Lu family members were not familiar with the route, but the three bodyguards knew it.
Seeing that the weather wasn’t looking good, the escort leading the way on horseback returned and said to Lu Erbai, “Dark clouds are gathering in front. It looks like it’s raining. In less than fifteen minutes, the rain will reach here. Brother Lu, when we reach the small town ahead, let’s find an inn to stay in first. We’ll set off tomorrow. What do you think?”
Lu Erbai stuck his head out to look. The dark clouds in front of him were very low and gloomy. The rain must have been heavy.
Although he couldn’t wait to catch up to Shu Yu, he had to consider the actual situation. It was already late at night. If they missed the town ahead and continued walking, they would not make it to the next town.
It was fine on normal days, but if it was raining so heavily, it would naturally be difficult to continue forward.
Therefore, Lu Erbai nodded. “Alright, let’s hurry up and stop at the town in front.”
The escort waved his hand, and the mule carriage sped up again.
Lu Erbai retracted his head, but he couldn’t help but frown. the old lady and Sanya were also sitting in the same car. Seeing this, they asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Erbai shook his head. “It’s nothing.” He was thinking about the heavy rain, and Yu didn’t have a raincoat on her. What should she do? It was easy to get sick in this kind of weather.
However, he didn’t say anything, but Sanya, who was in the mule carriage, had already thought of it. She was very worried. “Does Second Sister not have a car to sit in? No umbrella? What if she gets caught in the rain?”
Lu Erbai and the old lady looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
The escort driving the mule carriage outside said, “You don’t have to worry. Not only do the prisoners have to walk on their own on the road of exile, but so do the officials escorting them. Although they have straw raincoats, if the rain is too heavy, it will be difficult for them to walk.”
However, if the rain was as heavy as usual, they definitely could not delay their journey.
If the exiles died on the road, it was mostly because of the bad weather.
The bodyguard didn’t say this and only comforted them. “According to our current journey, we should be able to catch up to them tomorrow or the day after. If she gets sick, we can find a doctor and buy medicine with money. She will be fine.”
When the Lu family heard that they could catch up tomorrow or the day after, they finally felt a little relieved.
“Then when we get to town later, we’ll buy a few medicines to get rid of the cold first. And buy some good food.” They were more well-prepared so that Yu could relax a little.
“And shoes. On such a rainy day, my feet will be soaked badly.”
However, the situation was different from what the Lu family was worried about.
Shu Yu was now…She was wearing a straw raincoat.
Not only she, but the other members of the Shu family were also holding umbrellas in their hands.
