When Tiezhu returned home, he saw the donkey Lin Feng brought back and asked in confusion, "Brother Feng, why did you buy a donkey?"

The monkey beside him patted Tiezhu on the head and said, "How stupid! Do you even need to ask? Of course there are no mules for sale in town. We had to ask Shopkeeper Chen for help to get those three mules!"

Tiezhu scratched his hair and said with a silly smile, "Look at me, I've completely forgotten about this matter. But having an animal is enough, it's better than pushing it ourselves!"

Lin Feng: "Okay, have you packed your bags? We'll set off tomorrow!"

Because they were going to set off the next day, the Zhou brothers prepared a large table of sumptuous meals in the evening to entertain Lin Feng and his group.

Zhou Da stood up and said to Lin Feng, "Thank you so much for curing my mother's illness. It's so cold out here, so we won't keep you here. I've agreed with my brother to escort you all the way to the next city!"

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this and hesitated, "Will this be too much trouble for you?"

Zhou Da waved his hand. "It's still four or five days' journey from here to Yuncheng, and the mountain roads are long and unsafe. We two brothers are very familiar with this area. With us by our side, we won't be afraid even if we encounter jackals!"

Zhou Er echoed, "Yes, wild animals often come down from the mountains to hunt for food during this season. Even though you are outnumbered, I'm afraid you don't have as much experience as us brothers in dealing with these beasts!"

After hearing what the Zhou brothers said, Lin Feng stopped refusing. It was obvious that what the Zhou brothers said hit the nail on the head. Lin Feng stood up and said to them, "Thank you very much, brothers!"

Because they had to set out on their journey early the next morning, everyone went back to the house to rest after dinner.

Lin Feng came to Li Yan's door and knocked: "Is Yan'er asleep?"

Li Yan opened the door and asked, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

Lin Feng: "I have something to tell you. I'm planning to give two pieces of cloth and twenty kilograms of cotton from the goods we brought to the Zhou brothers. What do you think?"

Li Yan suddenly smiled: "Uncle and I are thinking the same thing. I was thinking the same thing. I just packed my things and you came!"

Lin Feng happily ruffled Li Yan's hair and said, "Then we really think alike. The Zhou brothers have helped us a lot, so we can't let them suffer any loss, right?"

Li Yan nodded in agreement.

Since everything had been arranged, Lin Feng no longer bothered to say to Li Yan: "Then you should rest early, we have to set off early tomorrow morning!" After that, Lin Feng returned to the house.

At dawn the next day, the group was ready. Li Yan handed the prepared cloth and cotton to Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law, saying, "Auntie, thank you for taking care of us these days. It's cold in winter, so please buy warm clothes for the children and the elders!"

Zhou's wife looked at the things in front of her and looked hesitantly at her husband standing beside her.

Zhou Da asked embarrassedly: "What are you doing?"

Lin Feng pulled Zhou Da aside and urged him, "Stop making excuses. It's not much, it's just a token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, I can't let you lead the way!"

At this time, Monkey stood outside the yard and urged, "Brother Feng is ready, shall we set off?"

"Coming soon!" Lin Feng replied.

Li Yan quickly stuffed the things into the woman's arms and trotted back to the team.

Lin Feng said to Zhou Dadao: "Let's go, they are waiting for us!" Then he pulled him out of the door.

A group of people drove out of the small village and headed towards Yuncheng.
