Li Yan pulled open the car curtain and saw four men standing in front.
The man who was speaking had an average appearance, and his pair of green eyes looked back and forth at the vehicle that Lin Feng pulled over.
Lin Feng quickly apologized with a smile, "Sorry, boss, we'll set off immediately and must arrive at our destination by evening!"
The man was about to say more when he was interrupted by the burly man in the lead: "Alright, Second Brother, let's get going!"
A group of people pulled the cart towards the next city.
Li Yan couldn't stand staying in the carriage after being jolted for so long, so she begged the Yang brothers to let her out and take a walk.
Li Yan trotted over to catch up with her uncle and pointed at the four people at the front of the team and asked, "Who are those people, uncle?"
Lin Feng looked up at the direction his niece pointed and introduced, "The burly man in the front is the one in charge of our trip. He's mainly responsible for planning our route and ensuring safety. You can just call him Uncle Lu!"
He then pointed to two older men nearby and introduced them, "Those two are responsible for taking care of the caravan's carriages, horses, and provisions, and for protecting the cargo. Just remember to call them Uncle Gou and Uncle Huang."
Finally, he pointed at the man with green eyes who had just spoken and said, "That man is our cousin who is in charge of our team's accounts. When you see him, call him Uncle Wang.
Li Yan nodded to indicate that she had taken note, then pointed at Monkey and Tiezhu, who were each pulling a carriage behind Lin Feng, and asked, "What should I address these two uncles?"
Lin Feng smiled and explained, "These two grew up with your uncle and I. You can just call the skinny one Uncle Monkey, and the dark and strong one Uncle Tiezhu!"
Li Yan couldn't help but smile when she heard her uncle introduce these two people. They really lived up to their names.
The convoy passed through the bustling town. After leaving the city gate, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and fewer and fewer villages could be seen!
Although we were on the official road, it was still very bumpy and difficult to travel.
The wheels of the carriage often got stuck in the mud cracks on the side of the road and couldn't get out. This happened twice in one morning. When the wheels of the carriage got stuck in the gap again.
Manager Lu stopped the team and said, "We've been rushing around for most of the day, let's take a break!"
Because the road was difficult to travel on, the horses struggled to pull the cargo forward for the entire morning.
Lao Gou hurriedly took out horse feed to replenish the energy of these animals that had worked so hard.
As they had to travel quickly, Boss Lu did not let his companions light a fire and cook. Instead, he took out some dry food from his bag and asked Lao Huang to distribute it.
Everyone simply ate a few bites of dry food, rested for a while, and then got busy setting off.
In the wilderness, if you arrive at your destination before sunset, an accident is likely to happen.
Li Yan walked beside Lin Feng and asked, "Uncle, can we get to our destination before dark?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "We did lose some time this morning. Let's hurry up and make it!"
After hearing what Lin Feng said, Li Yan finally felt relieved.
As the sky gradually darkened, they were still half an hour away from the dilapidated temple where Lin Feng and his group were staying.
The animals, having carried the goods for a whole day, were now exhausted. One of the horses refused to move forward no matter how Lao Huang whipped it.
Wang Er said angrily, "It's all because of you guys that you wanted to go to Lijia Village. Not only did you delay the trip, but you also made us all stuck here, waiting in vain!"
