Before going to sleep, he said, "Little Fish, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up at 9:00 AM."

You should get some rest today. If all goes well, we'll be heading to the prefectural city tonight.

If we don't go now, we might miss our chance.

It takes six days to travel from Anping County to Jianzhou Prefecture by horse-drawn carriage.

It's too hot during the day, so they can only travel at night.

Those from the county school who had pledged their guarantorship to him had already set off by mid-month; he was already too late.

Chi Yu, worried about Qin Mu's safety traveling at night, also didn't sleep all night.

As dawn approached, she was so sleepy that tears welled up in her eyes.

Upon hearing that they would be leaving that evening, he yawned and said:

"Okay, then I'll tell my second and third brothers."

Amu, Fang Yi and the others are driving a horse-drawn carriage. I wonder if they know the way?

If you know the way, you can bring in another horse later.

We can also drive during the day, which will make the journey faster.

Also, before we leave, you need to go to the blacksmith's shop and get my things back for me.

"Um!"

Qin Mu gave a perfunctory reply and then started snoring.

There was nothing he could do; he'd only been sleeping for a little over two hours a day these past few days, and he was truly exhausted.

I finally managed to lie down, and even with my beloved in my arms, I fell asleep instantly.

Chi Yu was already sleepy, and after hearing his not-so-loud snoring, she also fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, Qin Mu was already up and was playing with Zhuangzhuang in his arms.

The person sitting next to her was her sister.

When Chi Qiao saw that she was awake, she said, "Xiao Yu, A Mu still has to go out. Let him go out first."

Chi Yu glanced at the time subconsciously and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he hurriedly told Qin Mu to leave the space with his horse.

Before he left, he didn't forget to say, "Amu, remember to go to the blacksmith's shop and bring the things back."

Also, bring in another horse.

"good!"

When Qin Mu went out, he was not only with his horse, but also carrying a bag of dried mint.

This needs to be taken to the government office.

It's getting hotter and hotter now, and people can't stand being out in the sun for long periods of time during the day.

Even underground, it feels stuffy and hot.

Peppermint has a cooling sensation, and it's excellent for making tea.

There are so many people in the county town. They had already sent a batch before. I don't know if the adults sent someone out to buy more.

If there were no other supplies, the bag he gave out would only be enough for the people in the yamen.

It's simply impossible for ordinary people to want it!

However, there are other teas besides peppermint tea to cool you down in the hot summer; everyone will have to use their own unique methods.

After Qin Mu left, Chi Yu yawned again and said to Chi Qiao:

"Sister, this year's prefectural examination is on the ninth day of the fourth month, and today is already the twenty-seventh."

Amu said they needed to travel to the prefectural city that night.

Do you know whether Fang Yi and his companions can drive a horse-drawn carriage or know the way?

If you know, choose a trustworthy person and ask them to help you on your journey.

Amu said that it takes six days to travel from Anping County to Jianzhou Prefecture.

In addition, we also need to check the situation in various places along the way.

Once we reach the prefectural city, we'll need to find an inn, or rather, rent a house to stay in.

Therefore, Amu doesn't have much time left.

If the journey could be shortened a bit, that would be wonderful.

Upon hearing this, Chi Qiao recalled her sister's earlier request for Qin Mu to obtain an extra horse and understood the meaning behind it.

She immediately said, "No need to find anyone else, just have your second and third brothers drive the carriage."
