Chapter 16 Caravan
At this time, the sun was high, and there was a lot of traffic on the official road facing north in Tianjin Port.

Although it was only early spring, the sun above his head was venomous, and Gu Heng, who was sitting on the bullock cart, was sweating profusely.

She fanned herself with her sleeve, but found that it didn't work at all.

Li Wei was walking on the ground, he didn't know what he was holding in his hand, Gu Heng couldn't get excited.

Mrs. Chen had said a lot of words just now, but now her throat was smoking, she drooped her head, and leaned on Gu Heng's body, looking very pitiful.

On the contrary, Xiaodouzi walked behind Li Wei, so tired that he couldn't see it.

"Why is it so hot in the northern summer..."

Li Wei smiled and said, "The spring in the north is not only hot, but it will also rain heavily in the evening, and it will be cooler then."

Hearing that it was going to rain, Chen quickly sat up.

"Rain? Can we find a place to stay today?"

The driver sitting in front of the car helped his bamboo hat.

"Guest officer, there is an inn in front of you. When you get there, why don't you just settle the fare."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen hurriedly said to Li Wei: "Brother Li, do you have money?"

Li Wei waved his hand.

"Money is something outside the body."

Reluctantly, Mrs. Chen took out a few copper plates from her bosom, counted them one by one, and finally gave the copper plates to the driver reluctantly.

The coachman took the copper coins with a smile on his face, and happily led them forward.

At this time, Li Wei also finished the work in hand, and he handed Gu Heng a fairly well-woven fan, and Gu Heng took it and said with a smile: "Brother Li is really good at craftsmanship."

"Use it if you like it, the wind and the sun are a must on the road."

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Chen felt a little tired. She grabbed the fan from Gu Heng's hand and said, "Brother Li, have you thought about what to do for a living when you come to the capital?"

Li Wei stroked his chin, only heard him think for a moment and said: "I really haven't thought about it, let's take one step at a time."

Chen was not talking, she turned her head to look at the side of the road, as if she was thinking about something in her heart.

But Gu Heng was thinking, could it be too much of a coincidence?
After several people thought about it, the bullock cart arrived at the place.

At this time, it was a very large post station, with inns, escort agencies, snack bars, and even places selling groceries.

Many merchants from the south to the north gathered here.

A few people mixed in, but it was not eye-catching at all.

Normally speaking, it is safest to find a bodyguard escort by land, but with all the money they have, they can't hire a bodyguard.

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch.

The four rested at a food stall, and the proprietress came to greet them very warmly.

"Yangchun noodles, big meat buns, wontons, and mutton soup cakes, what would you like to eat?"

When Mrs. Chen was about to speak.

Li Wei said directly: "Four bowls of mutton soup cakes, two cages of steamed buns, and a pile of edamame side dishes and two catties of beef, plus two taels of rice wine."

The proprietress smiled when she heard this.

"Okay, here's the dish for you."

When Mrs. Chen heard Li Wei's extravagance, she put her hands on her hips and said, "I don't know, I thought it was a big customer. Going to the capital would take a month at least. We can't afford your expenses."

Li Wei was not angry, he touched Xiaodouzi's belly.

"My stomach growled a few times along the way. I must have not had a few full meals in the past few months. I will pay for it."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she said angrily: "Sure enough, money is something outside of the body..."

After the food was served, everyone began to feast on it.

I have to say that the mutton soup cakes at this post station are really delicious, and the big meat buns are also delicious. The few people are full, and Li Wei asked the proprietress to bring some more, saying that they want to eat on the road.

Gu Heng was a little puzzled.

Could it be that Li Wei is going to take them on the road alone?
Gu Heng asked Li Wei, but this guy didn't open his mouth, only saying that he had his own way.Gu Heng saw the calm expression on Li Wei's face, so he stopped talking.

This Li Wei is not simple.

They left the post station, walked a lot north, and vaguely saw a horse team in the forest.

Li Wei was approaching the cavalry, it was getting late now, and these people seemed to be stationed here.

One of the tall men walked over with a smile on his face, and he reached out and patted Li Wei's shoulder vigorously.

"Brother Li, I have been waiting here for a long time, and I thought you would not come."

Li Wei said very intimately: "Isn't it a waste of time on the road?"

Li Wei looked at Gu Heng and the others while speaking.

When the man saw Gu Heng, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Li also wants to start a family."

Li Wei smiled and said: "Nothing can be hidden from Brother Ma's eyes. This is my fiancée. The family is in trouble, so I can only take my younger brother and mother to the capital to ask for a living."

After hearing what Li Wei said, Brother Ma sighed faintly.

"So that's the case, but Brother Li, it's also a good thing that you can return to the capital."

There was something in the words of these two people, and Gu Heng couldn't hear it.

"But this time I have to ask Brother Ma to take me in. It doesn't matter if I go to the capital alone, but I have to be careful with my family."

When the elder brother Ma heard what Li Wei said, he immediately smiled heartily.

"No problem, my bodyguard this time is a very famous chamber of commerce. I have a certain relationship with their young master. It's just a matter of one sentence. You follow me in first and I will arrange it for you."

The bodyguard surnamed Ma led several people into the forest.

They camped by a river, and there were no fewer than a hundred people in all, but it was a very large caravan.

Chen said to Gu Heng who was beside him: "This Li Wei is really capable, but we have met a noble man."

Gu Heng felt helpless for a moment, because Chen Shi still disliked Li Wei just now.

The bodyguard surnamed Ma found a tent for them, Gu Heng and Mrs. Chen took Xiaodouzi to rest first, and Li Wei followed the bodyguard surnamed Ma to the front of the team.

It should be to find the young master.

After walking for a day, Gu Heng was naturally very tired, so he fell asleep directly.

Sure enough, it rained in the middle of the night, Gu Heng and Chen shi cuddled close together, it was too cold to walk.

In the haze, someone outside handed them a quilt, and Gu Heng felt much warmer after covering it.

She opened her eyes and saw Li Wei, this guy's eyes were dark, if he was really a gangster, Gu Heng would write his name backwards from now on.

When Gu Heng woke up the next day, it was still raining outside.

Li Wei, who was wearing a bamboo hat, brought over two pancakes and a water bottle and said to Gu Heng, "Eat."

When Gu Heng took it and was about to speak, Li Wei left.

Chen said quietly: "Hurry up and eat, you have to go on your way after eating, and you will feel guilty if you go on your way in rainy days."

Gu Heng took a bite of the cake and found that there was still meat inside.

She couldn't help sighing softly: "I haven't seen any meat in half a month."
