The next morning, an old man with a white beard walked out of the inn gate with a pair of girls, bought several sets of girls' clothes, and drove the carriage towards the city gate.
The carts were still being pulled by Baiyun and Baiwu, followed by Taxue and Huolongma.
When they reached the city gate, they met a group of escorts going to the South China Sea.
Tang Ruyue thought that hiding in the escort team would make it harder to be discovered, so she suggested to Yan Song that she might as well join the escort team.
The mission of the escort team is to protect a caravan going to the South China Sea to deliver goods, and to transport the goods back from the South China Sea.
After Yan Song gave away one hundred taels of silver, the escort captain introduced them to the caravan leader.
The leader saw that Yan Song's grandparents, both old and young, had no doubts and agreed that they should follow the caravan. However, he also made it clear to them that they could only be allowed to follow, but their safety was not guaranteed.
Safety.
When they were on the road, Tang Ruyue realized that there were quite a few people following the caravan. There were about two hundred people in the caravan, each of whom was in charge of a carriage. There were more than thirty people in the escort team, all of whom were in charge of the caravan.
They are all dressed up in short-game attire and riding tall horses.
Behind the caravan, there were more than a hundred people following. These people were not part of the caravan, but because they were following the caravan, most thieves would not dare to rob it.
There were more than thirty carriages accompanying the caravan.
Among these people, some were going on business, some were visiting relatives, and some were just traveling around. They had food and shelter in their own carriages and took care of themselves.
But if horse thieves really come, the escort will protect the caravan, but they have no obligation to protect you! The money they receive from you is just to allow you to follow behind. If the caravan’s goods attract horse thieves and you are implicated, it will only be your fault.
If you are unlucky, no one will compensate you for your losses.
Their carriage was mixed in with this group of people.
Tang Ruyue and Tang Die had been sitting in the carriage, and only Yan Song was driving outside.
This morning, after walking only about twenty miles, I stopped. It turned out that I came to a river. Looking at the caravan, someone was taking things to wash, and someone was lighting a fire. It turned out that they were burying a pot for cooking.
Eat food.
Tang Ruyue couldn't help crying: "Master, at this speed, when will we reach the South China Sea?"
Tang Die also felt that walking like this was too slow.
The master looked at them sternly: "Although this trip is to collect herbs in the South China Sea, you should regard it as an experience. Only by tasting all kinds of flavors in the world can you sharpen your will and finally find your own path.
Besides, why are you so anxious? If you have a destiny with that medicine, you can get it no matter how late you go. If you don't have a destiny, you can't get it no matter how early you go, so why bother to go there in such a hurry?"
Tang Ruyue suddenly thought that it had been four or five years since she got the news that there was Dragon Soul Grass in the South China Sea. How could she be sure whether it was there or not? Going to the South China Sea to look for Dragon Soul Grass was just to avoid leaving any regrets for herself.
Moreover, with my current impatient mentality, I am afraid that I may not be able to detect the Dragon Soul Grass when it is placed in front of me, right?
She lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Master, it's my disciple who is impatient."
Tang Die also admitted: "Yes, I am anxious too."
Seeing that both of them calmed down, Yan Song immediately became happy: "You are still young, everything happens in a hurry, take your time. If you follow this caravan, you can also see all kinds of life."
As soon as the master's voice fell, he heard someone calling from outside: "Mr. Rong, send a message over there to prepare food for half an hour. You can bring rice and noodles. If not, I have brought plenty here. Please come and join us."
