Only after we had collected everything did we start our journey again.
The speed of a carriage is naturally much faster than that of a person walking. And when you drive, you will find that the shock absorption of this carriage is so good. It moves very fast on the outside, but you can hardly feel any obvious bumps on the inside.
Leading the way was Lin Changshu, and sitting in the carriage were Zhao and six children. This was also the most spacious and comfortable carriage. It not only had a small table, but also a small charcoal stove, which made it very convenient to boil water.
The second carriage behind was driven by Lin Yue, and inside it sat Li Yue and Fang Cui. Wu Hong had originally wanted to come, but she was worried that her mother-in-law would be bored alone, so she didn't come. Instead, Lin Ping went to the first carriage to keep the children company.
Behind them was the third carriage, driven by Lin Changhe. Inside were Sun Rong, his daughter-in-law Wu Hong, and little Lin An, who was just one month old. With the carriage, Wu Hong was obviously more relaxed, and it was also more convenient for her to breastfeed the child.
Finally, it was the donkey cart. Now there were some space-taking beddings on it, making the whole cart much lighter. Lin Feng and Lin Guang were accompanying each other, and it was quite pleasant to drive the cart and chat at the same time.
In this way, the four cars started running and covered the distance that would have taken them half a day in the past in just half an hour.
Because it took some time to modify the carriage, everyone ate lunch in the carriage. They just ate some dry food with water. Anyway, it was much easier than traveling on foot before.
It was not until the sun set that the speed of the convoy slowly slowed down. Lin Changshu found a relatively spacious place to stop and pushed open the car door.
"Old woman, I think we'll have to travel a little longer today. Our carriage is going too fast and has already missed the place I originally planned to rest. But about two quarters of an hour further, there will be a deserted post station.
We stayed there a few nights when we went out to buy lumber. It was shabby, but it was bigger than the ruined temple. What do you think? Let's go there.
Besides, if we go on past that post station, we will be outside the territory of Fengyuan County. We will be in an unfamiliar place and need to be more cautious!"
Zhao had no objection. It was too cold at night and she definitely couldn't sleep on the street. Now that she had a carriage, it wouldn't be a problem to travel a little longer.
But Xiao Lingling had been sitting in the carriage for most of the day and was already a little restless, so she grabbed Lin Changshu's hand and started to act cute.
"Grandpa, can I sit outside with you? This window is too small!"
Zhao choked and was speechless for a moment as she looked at the large open windows. She picked up the person and handed him to Lin Changshu.
"Hurry up and get her out! You're so stupid! Even such a big window is too small. You might as well just tear the carriage apart!"
Little Lingdang chuckled a few times, then followed Zhao's hand and hugged Lin Changshu. The old man smiled and took a cotton jacket to wrap Little Lingdang up.
"Okay, okay, stay with grandpa, okay? Let's go!"
Lin Changshu held Little Bell in his arms, leaning against the carriage and gently waving the whip. Little Bell was quite excited, looking around and imitating Lin Changshu's way of waving the whip with his bare hands, having a lot of fun.
However, as they were about to reach the post station, the grandfather and grandson saw the light of the post station from afar.
Someone!
Lin Changshu's heart instantly rose to his throat. How could there be someone here at this time?
There were also several carriages parked outside, and one could even vaguely see human figures swaying back and forth, which showed that the other party had a lot of people!
Lin Changshu stopped the carriage a little distance from the post station, "Old woman, there are already people in the post station, and it looks like there are quite a few people!
Don't move, I'll go over and take a look. If there's a place to stay, we'll go find it. If not, we'll probably have to sleep in the carriage tonight!"
Zhao stuck her head out of the window and saw the situation outside. She felt that things were not going well, but she didn't say much. This broken post station had no owner, so whoever arrived first would own it.
Lin Changshu was about to put Xiao Lingdang down, but she was also curious, "Grandpa, Xiao Lingdang wants to go too!"
Lin Changshu thought that with a child, the other party might be more easy to talk to, so he didn't refuse and carried the child to the post station.
Only when he got closer did he realize that this was a truly wealthy family, with a group of servants waiting on them even when they were away. Lin Changshu took a quick glance and saw more than a dozen servants working, some packing luggage, others chopping firewood and feeding horses.
Lin Changshu didn't go in directly, but found someone outside the door and asked, "Hey young man, I want to ask you something. We are fleeing from famine and are a little tired after running all day. I wonder if you can let our family find a corner inside to spend the night. We will leave early tomorrow morning!"
The servant seemed easy to talk to, but he didn't give any confirmation. "Uncle, I'm just a servant. My words don't count. How about this, I go ask my master?"
Lin Changshu nodded quickly, "Hey, hey, okay, thank you for your help!"
The servant smiled, turned around and walked towards the post station. Little Bell's eyes were very sharp. She looked inside through the crack in the door and saw a few figures. She couldn't see their faces clearly, but the clothes they were wearing were very beautiful, with very delicate patterns embroidered on them.
However, when a breeze blew by, Xiao Lingling suddenly smelled the scent of medicine. The smell was a little familiar, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong?
She herself is a koi that has practiced for a thousand years. Later, she crossed the Dragon Gate and transformed into a dragon and became an immortal, also one of the living creatures.
She was born with a close feeling towards animals and plants, so although she didn't know medicine, she knew a lot about herbs.
She felt that the smell was not right, but because it was too faint, she couldn't tell exactly what it was. It would have been better if she could have smelled it more!
Before Xiao Lingdang could think about it, the servant came back and said, "Uncle, our wife has agreed to leave two rooms for you to rest. However, our wife is pregnant, so please be as quiet as possible and don't disturb our wife.
This inn has a side door, you can enter through the side door, and you can choose two rooms on the first floor. Our wife lives on the second floor, so don't go up there unless you have nothing to do!"
When Lin Changshu heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "Hey, hey, hey, okay, we will definitely not go up to disturb your wife, thank you very much!"
After saying that, Lin Changshu bowed from a distance towards the door, turned around and walked back with his granddaughter in his arms.
He was in a better mood, and even his steps were lighter. Only little Bell was frowning, looking like she was worried about something.
