Xu Jinhuan awoke from his meditation and heard this sentence.
She got up and walked to the door, where she saw the exiles beginning to pack their belongings, with most of their things already on the carriages.
"Boss, you've finished your cultivation? You must be hungry. I asked Da Ni to make you the meat-filled pancakes you mentioned before. They taste really good to me."
It's still warm! You should try it and see if it's authentic.
Ma Wencai saw Xu Jinhuan first. He ran to the simple dining table, carefully opened the food box, and ran back to Xu Jinhuan's side with a plate of flatbread with meat.
Xu Jinhuan was indeed a bit hungry. Looking at the decent-looking roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) on the plate and smelling that familiar aroma, she subconsciously swallowed.
After quickly washing his hands, Xu Jinhuan picked up a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and started eating it in big bites.
Yes, that's the taste!
After taking a couple of bites in a good mood, Xu Jinhuan felt the burning sensation in her stomach subside and then turned her attention to the others.
"Although we have successfully survived the heatwave, the days ahead may not be easy. Have the women try to sew clothes in the carriage while they are on the road."
"If possible, please make the winter clothes as soon as possible," Xu Jinhuan said to Li Yichang.
Li Yichang and the others were all taken aback. Could it be? It's only early autumn! Why are they already preparing winter clothes?
"Boss, do you mean there might be a cold disaster later?" Li Yichang asked with a solemn expression.
Ma Wencai also looked puzzled and said, "The weather is so abnormal. It was scorching hot a few days ago, and now we have to wear cotton-padded coats."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, then shook his head. "The cold disaster is just my speculation, and it's not certain yet, but it's always good to be prepared with winter clothes."
After all, we're going north, and winters there are quite different from those in Beijing. Ordinary winter coats probably won't be enough to keep out the cold winds there.
After saying that, Xu Jinhuan glanced at Ma Wencai and said with a smile, "Judging from the current situation, anything is possible."
Li Yichang respectfully said to Xu Jinhuan, "Boss, I will rearrange the carriages and gather together the women who are skilled in sewing."
Xu Jinhuan nodded. "Okay, we'll do it your way."
Soon, everyone had packed their things, and the carriages were redistributed.
"Boss, shall we leave now? Since the temperature has dropped, why don't we set off early tomorrow morning?" Xie Datou asked, puzzled.
Xu Jinhuan gazed at the gray horizon with a melancholy look and said softly.
"Although there were a few days between the floods and the drought, no one can be sure that after this drought, there will be a new disaster every few days, just like before."
Therefore, getting on the journey as quickly as possible is the best course of action.
Xie Datou nodded in sudden realization, "I understand, boss. I'll urge them to get on the road as soon as possible."
Xu Jinhuan was taken aback by these words. She said helplessly, "Datou, we're on our way, not going to our deaths."
Xie Datou smiled憨厚ly, "Yes, it's about getting on the road. I told everyone to hurry up."
After saying that, Xie Datou quickly walked to the front of the carriage procession and began to arrange things for his men.
In no time, the entire convoy started moving.
Xu Jinhuan sat alone in the carriage. After feeling the carriage sway, she frowned silently. With the road conditions like this, it would be difficult for the women to sew cotton-padded clothes.
If you arrive in a nearby town, you should still buy a batch of cotton-padded clothes just in case.
Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan silently asked the system Xiao Wang in his heart, "Xiao Wang, do you have any gadgets to prevent the carriage from shaking?"
Upon hearing his host's request, System Xiao Wang immediately began rummaging through drawers and cabinets.
Not long after, the cheerful voice of System Xiao Wang rang in Xu Jinhuan's mind.
[Host, I've found something with similar functionality, called "Walking on Flat Ground," which allows an object to remain on flat ground. It should be useful for carriages.]
After the system Xiao Wang finished speaking, he handed "Walking on Flat Ground" to Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan looked at the inconspicuous little prop in his hand. It was shaped like a skateboard, all black, and only the size of a thumb. It was even more childish than a children's toy.
However, trusting in his own little system, Xu Jinhuan quickly used "Walking on Flat Ground".
In an instant, the carriage, which had been swaying, suddenly slowed down and returned to the same speed as before, but without any feeling of instability.
"Xiao Wang, your skills are amazing! This is the most powerful system I've ever seen!" Xu Jinhuan praised with a smile.
Although System Wang was a little embarrassed by its host's praise, it was even more motivated. It was determined to become a truly powerful system and help its host complete the mission!
[Host, it seems someone replied to me on the system forum. I'll go check it out; there might be good news!]
Xu Jinhuan sent the small system to handle some tasks while she continued to integrate the power of faith. At the same time, she also instructed Xie Datou to tell Li Yichang to stop in a nearby county town.
Before we knew it, it was the next morning.
After yawning, Xie Datou said with a hint of drowsiness, "Boss, we're almost at Changdong County. Is there anything you need us to do?"
Seeing that Xie Datou was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "Let's set up camp here. You and the others who drove the carriage last night should get some rest. I'll go to the county town by myself."
Ma Wencai, who happened to be walking by, shook his head immediately after hearing this, and said with a look of disapproval.
"Boss, other bosses take at least a hundred men with them when they go out. Even if you don't take that many, you should at least take one or two. We can't afford to lose face!"
Xie Datou nodded in agreement, "Boss, what Brother Ma said makes some sense. If someone deliberately causes trouble, and you don't want to get dirty and do it yourself, you still need to find a thug, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Ma Wencai and said, “Brother Ma, I see you didn’t drive last night, so you must have rested well in the carriage. Why don’t you accompany the boss to the county town today?”
Ma Wencai patted his chest with a smile, "Okay, I'll definitely protect the boss's safety!"
Xu Jinhuan looked at her two underlings who were so worried about her safety, and sighed helplessly. With Ma Wencai's mediocre skills, it was hard to say who would protect whom if something really happened.
Xie Datou seemed to have thought of this as well. Ma Wencai was best at escaping. He looked at the crowd and waved to An Er.
"Brother Xie, you were looking for me?" An Er ran over with a blank look on his face.
Xie Datou nodded. "The boss is going to the county town in a while. You and Ma Wencai will be in charge of his safety."
After saying that, he gave Xu Jinhuan a simple and honest smile, "Boss, this time everything is arranged. Ma Wencai will be in charge of carrying the bags, and An Er will be in charge of guarding."
