Chapter 502: Shu Yu's Raincoat
The three escorts were skilled in driving the horse and mule carts. Since the escort had limited resources, they only brought one horse, and the remaining two escorts decided to ride in the Lu family's mule cart.
Whenever it was the female escort's turn to drive, Da Ya would sit at the front and learn from her.
This way, she would be able to drive the cart herself if a similar situation arose in the future.
Ruan Shi, who used to be timid, also wanted to learn along with them. Now she understood that if given the opportunity, it would be beneficial to learn some practical skills that might come in handy someday.
The old lady and the two children were too young, so they could only sit inside the cart.
The group maintained a steady pace, not too fast nor too slow. Their immediate priority was to catch up with Shu Yu and then follow her at a slower pace.
The Lu family members were not very familiar with the route, but the three escorts knew it well.
As they saw the unfavorable weather approaching, the escort who was riding ahead on the horse turned back and said to Lu Erbai, "There are dark clouds ahead, it seems it's going to rain. In less than fifteen minutes, the rain will reach here. Brother Lu, let's find an inn in the nearby town and stay there for the night. We can continue our journey tomorrow. What do you think?"
Lu Erbai peered outside and saw the low-hanging dark clouds ahead. It was gloomy, indicating heavy rain.
Although he was eager to catch up with Shu Yu, he had to consider the practical situation. It was already approaching the end of the day, and if they missed the town ahead and continued walking, they wouldn't make it to the next town in time.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been fine, but in such heavy rain, it wouldn't be feasible to proceed.
Therefore, Lu Erbai nodded and said, "Alright, let's pick up the pace and stop at the town ahead."
The escort waved his hand, and the mule cart picked up speed.
Lu Erbai retracted his head but couldn't help frowning. The old lady and San Ya were also sitting in this cart, and they noticed his expression. San Ya asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Erbai shook his head and said, "Nothing." He was just thinking that Shu Yu didn't have a raincoat or umbrella with her in this heavy rain. What should they do? Such weather was most likely to cause illnesses.
But he didn't mention it. However, San Ya, sitting in the cart, had already thought of it and expressed her worry, "Does Second Sister not have a carriage to ride in? Or an umbrella? What if she gets drenched in the rain? What should we do?"
Lu Erbai and the old lady exchanged glances but remained silent.
However, the escort driving the cart reassured them, "Don't worry, on this exile route, it's not just the prisoners who have to walk; the official escorts do too. Although they have raincoats, if the rain is too heavy, it's not easy for them to walk either."
But if the rain was only moderate, they couldn't afford to delay their journey.
Many exiles fell ill on the road, and a significant portion of it was due to the harsh weather conditions.
The escort didn't mention this, but he comforted them, "According to our current progress, we should be able to catch up with them in a day or two. If she does fall ill, we'll find a doctor and buy medicine with money. She'll be fine."
The Lu family members felt slightly relieved upon hearing that they would catch up in a day or two.
"In that case, when we reach the town later, let's buy some medicine for wind and cold. Also, get some easy-to-digest food." They wanted to be better prepared so that Shu Yu could be more comfortable.
"Alright."
"And shoes. With this rainy weather, their feet will definitely get soaked."
However, the Lu family's worries were unfounded.
Shu Yu, at that moment, was wearing a raincoat.
Not only her, but the other members of the Shu family also had umbrellas in their hands.
