Chapter 188: Picking People Up in the City



Lin Feng thought the price was reasonable, so he made an appointment with Xu Fa to meet at the pier early the next morning and set off.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they found a ship heading south.

Lin Feng led his men back and when they reached the city gate, Li Yan saw many ox carts waiting for passengers parked near the gate.

Li Yan said to Lin Feng, "Uncle, I see there's an oxcart over here. Let's book the one for the delivery the day after tomorrow!"

The group went to the foot of the city wall again: "Old man, does your car carry goods?"

The old man sitting in the corner stood up hurriedly: "Pulling, pulling. But I don't know where you want to take it? What kind of goods are you pulling?"

Li Yan: "It's not far, just transporting from the city to the dock outside the city. The goods are all medicinal herbs! I wonder how much it will cost?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied, "Five cents a trip."

Li Yan thought the price was reasonable and said, "We have a lot of goods. Find two more people to wait for us at the city gate at dawn the day after tomorrow. We will come to the city gate to pick you up! What do you think?"

When the old man heard that he could find two more people, he was delighted. This job was easy, not only was the journey short, but it also did not interfere with his own work, so he quickly agreed.

After arranging their trip, the three of them headed back.

Lin Feng said to the two of them, "We don't know when this merchant ship will dock. We have so many mouths to feed, so we should prepare more food."

The three of them went to the grocery store and bought 500 wen of rice, 500 wen of millet, 500 wen of coarse flour, 300 wen of various pickled vegetables, 200 wen of beans, and 200 wen of oil, salt and seasonings.

On the way back, the three of them had their hands full.

Back home, Tiezhu hurriedly asked Lin Feng, "Brother Feng, how's it going? Have you booked a boat for the trip south?"

Lin Feng put down everything in his hands: "Okay, let's set off the day after tomorrow morning!"

Tiezhu said happily, "That's great!" Tiezhu had actually been feeling very guilty for delaying everyone's trip these days, but now that he could finally set off, he felt relieved.

The next day, Lin Feng got a pass from the human trafficker and drove out of the city.

Just like the previous times, Lin Feng's carriage was stopped by Guo Dalang's family not far from the city gate.

Lin Feng stopped the carriage and looked at the family on the roadside and asked, "Why are you all here?"

Guo Dalang said innocently, "My family is looking forward to going to the city soon, and they've been waiting here by the roadside!"

Guo Dalang saw Lin Feng's gaze on his family and explained awkwardly, "We dressed up this morning and put on our best clothes. Does the master think we are okay?"

Lin Feng nodded and ordered: "Children and women, get in the car, don't delay!"

When the children heard that they were going into the city, their eyes lit up with excitement and they climbed onto the carriage happily. After everyone was seated in the carriage, Lin Feng drove the carriage and led Guo Dalang and Guo Erlang to the city gate.

The Guo brothers looked at the city gate getting closer and closer, becoming more and more nervous, and they didn't dare to look up out of guilt.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate asked a few simple questions and let a few people enter the city gate.

When they entered the city, Guo Dalang and Guo Erlang were completely confused. How could they get in just like that?

Lin Feng slowed down the car and looked at the two people who were in disbelief and said, "Let's go quickly. We are at the city gate. Don't act too abnormally."

After hearing this, the two of them quickly perked up and followed Lin Feng's carriage towards the courtyard.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Feng stopped the carriage and asked everyone to get off: "This is it, we're here!"

Guo Dalang looked at the small courtyard in front of him and asked excitedly, "Is this where my family lives?"
