Chapter 502 Shu Yu has a raincoat
The three bodyguards were all skilled in driving and riding horses. Since the equipment in the escort agency was limited, the three of them only brought one horse, and the other two simply rode in the Lu family's mule cart.
When the female bodyguard drove the carriage, Daya would sit on the carriage shaft and imitate her.
That way, if this happens again in the future, she'll be able to catch the bus by herself.
Originally timid, Ruan was now determined to learn alongside them. She understood that if she had the opportunity, she should learn more skills; they might come in handy in the future.
The elderly woman and her two children were too old to stay in the car, so they had to sit inside.
They were traveling at a moderate pace, not too fast, but not too slow either. Their immediate priority was to see Shu Yu first, and then they would slowly follow behind them.
The Lu family wasn't very familiar with the route, but the three bodyguards were.
Seeing that the weather was getting bad, the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who was riding at the front turned back and said to Lu Erbai, "Dark clouds are gathering ahead, it looks like it's going to rain. It won't be more than fifteen minutes before the rain reaches this place. Brother Lu, let's find an inn to stay in when we get to the town ahead, and set off again tomorrow. What do you think?"
Lu Erbai peeked out and saw that the dark clouds ahead were very low and gloomy, indicating that it would definitely rain heavily.
Although he was eager to catch up with Shu Yu, he also had to consider the practicalities. It was already late afternoon, and if he missed the town ahead and continued on, he definitely wouldn't make it to the next town in time.
It's fine on normal days, but with such heavy rain, it's naturally difficult to continue.
Therefore, Lu Erbai nodded, "Okay, let's hurry up and stop at the town ahead."
With a wave of his hand, the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) increased the speed of the mule cart by two points.
Lu Erbai pulled his head back, but couldn't help frowning. The old lady and Sanya were also sitting in the car. Seeing this, they asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Erbai shook his head, "It's nothing." He was just thinking that with such heavy rain, Ayu didn't have any rain gear or a raincoat. What were they going to do? This kind of weather was the easiest to get sick.
However, he didn't say anything, but Sanya in the mule cart had already thought of it and was very worried. "Second sister, is there no cart to ride in? And no umbrella? What if she gets wet in the rain?"
Lu Erbai and the old lady exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke.
However, the bodyguard driving the mule cart outside said, "You don't need to worry. On this road to exile, not only do the prisoners have to walk, but the escorting officials do too. Although they have raincoats, if the rain is too heavy, it will be difficult for them to walk."
However, if the rain is only moderately heavy, then it certainly won't delay our journey.
If exiled people perish on the road, it is largely due to harsh weather conditions.
The镖师 (bodyguard/escort) didn't say this aloud, but instead comforted them, "At our current pace, we should be able to catch up with them in the next day or two. If anyone gets sick, we'll find a doctor, give them money to buy medicine, and they'll be fine."
The Lu family felt somewhat relieved when they heard that they could catch up in the next day or two.
"When we get to town, let's buy some medicine to treat the cold. We'll also buy some easily digestible food." They wanted to be well-prepared so that Ayu could have an easier time.
"OK."
"And shoes, in this rainy weather, your feet must be soaked to a pulp."
However, the situation was different from what the Lu family had feared.
Shu Yu is currently wearing a straw raincoat.
Not only her, but all the other members of the Shu family were holding an umbrella.
