This vacation lasts for three months. They need to set aside at least ten days for their rest and also for the journey! Thinking of this, Mo Sang said goodbye to his mother and went to Hu Hua's study to discuss the itinerary of this trip with him!

The two were in the study. Hu Hua had prepared a map long ago and placed it on the desk! The city they were in was located in the middle of the country, slightly south. They could go east, west, or north, but not south!

The closer to the south is the border. Although it is peaceful, it is a border after all. The management is strict and there are many people from all walks of life gathered there! They are few in number and it is not safe to go there. After all, they travel just to broaden their horizons, not to cause trouble!

There are three routes. To the north is the capital. When they pass the imperial examination, they will naturally go to the capital! To the west, the people's life will be more difficult. To the east, life will be much richer!

The two discussed it and decided to go east for their first trip, and then go west the next year. If all goes well, they can wait for the imperial examination the year after. If they pass the exam, they can go north and enter Beijing to take part in the palace examination!

Both of them were looking forward to traveling, and now that the direction had been decided, the next step was to make preparations!

Hu Hua found a caravan and prepared to go east with the three of them. This way, the journey would be safer. When they reached the eastern city, they would leave the caravan and move freely!

After agreeing on the itinerary with the caravan, they prepared to set off. Before leaving, Hu Hua went to the bookstore and bought some travel books to read with Mo Sang. They planned that when the time comes, if possible, they could also write some travel books to record what they saw and heard along the way, so that their journey would not be in vain!

The servant was a capable person. When he heard Hu Hua say that he wanted to take him traveling, he immediately told Hu Hua that he wanted to bring a cup of soil from his hometown, and suggested to Hu Hua that they go to the clinic to bring some medicine for bruises, colds and dysentery!

As soon as this suggestion was made, Hu Hua looked at the servant with new eyes. He thought he was a smart kid with his own ideas!

Then he brought his servant to the clinic and asked the doctor to bring some medicine for injuries and colds and dysentery! It is better to be prepared. It is better to bring some medicine when going out than to be completely in the dark when encountering problems!

Just when the two were ready and about to leave, Master Chen learned that they were going to the east, and came to the door to entrust them with a letter, asking them to take it to the prefect in the east! He also gave them a handwritten letter, with which they could come to the prefect to ask for help if they had any problems!

Mo Sang and Hu Hua naturally agreed and had no objection! After all, it was on the way, and it was also a guarantee for them. The prefect and their teacher were close friends. If there was anything, they could ask the prefect for help, and he would not ignore it!

The next day, the two of them got on the carriage under the instructions of Mosan's mother and went to meet up with the caravan! Then they began their journey!

It was Mo Sang's first time to travel far away, so everything he saw was new to him! The servant drove the carriage behind the caravan! Mo Sang sat in the carriage, excitedly looking at the scenery outside the window, and then sat next to the servant to help drive the carriage!

This made the servant very distressed. Master Mo would rush him even though he didn't know how to rush him. There were several times when he almost drove him off the track!

In the end, Hu Hua was called into the carriage, and the two of them played chess, which made the servant breathe a sigh of relief!

This carriage was built by craftsmen after Hu Hua knew he was going to travel. The inside is like a small mobile RV. During the day, it can be transformed into a small table with room for people to sit on all four sides and books or tea in the middle by moving a few positions!

At night, if you lay down the boards on the table and chairs, it will become a big bed room! It is more than enough to sleep 3 people! What's more, there are hidden partitions under the bed and benches, where you can put bedding and a few people's clothes!

The secret compartment above contains travel notes and some food for the trip! There is also a lot of charcoal on the road, which can be used to make hot tea on the road!

Everyone's luggage is placed in a large box at the back of the carriage. All personal belongings are there. When we go to the city, whether we want to stay or travel, all we need to do is pack our own luggage!

So it would be quite interesting to call Mo Sang into the house and have a game of chess between them!

In this way, a day passed, and in the afternoon, several people felt a little tired, but before reaching the rest area, they did not dare to leave the team without permission!

When the sun was about to set in the evening, the caravan walked to a forest and told everyone to form a circle and prepare to rest!

It was finally time to take a break. A errand boy from the caravan came and invited the three of them to have a hot meal together. Hu Hua agreed!

Hu Hua parked the carriage next to the caravan. Today was the first day of their journey. Although it was a normal thing for the caravan, it was indeed a bit hard for them. After such a day, people were tired and horses were exhausted. It was really necessary to get some food for the horses!

Because the money Hu Hua paid to the caravan included the meal, he asked Mo Sang and the servant to get the meal! He went to get some firewood. Although it was a summer night, there was no need to warm up at night, but he needed to light some firewood to drive away mosquitoes for the horses and people. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep well that night, and he might even get swollen!

So, after Hu Hua came back from collecting firewood, he built a fire, used the kettle on the carriage to boil two pots of hot water, and poured them into the water bags. The water in the water bags had been empty a long time ago, and it was difficult to boil water while driving on the road, so in the afternoon, several people endured hunger and thirst!

Then the hanging kettle was filled with boiling water and placed aside to cool down! Then the fire in the fire was extinguished a little, leaving only some smoke in the fire to slowly smoke!

At this time, Mo Sang and the servant also came over with food. Although the food was not very good, to be able to eat such hot meals while traveling was considered a great achievement by the caravan people, so none of the three complained!

After finishing their meal, Hu Hua and Mo Sang put away the tent for their rest at night, and the servant untied the horse and took it to the woods to eat grass and drink water to relieve its fatigue!

The caravan was sitting in a circle eating, and a burly man said in a muffled voice: "Brother, let's take those guys with us on the road. Our cargo is important, why should we let a few stinky scholars follow us!"

The boss who looked smart and capable sitting next to him said, "Second brother, now that you are capable, you want to teach me how to do things!"

Some people nearby said: "Big brother, why bother to compete with the second brother? The second brother is a straight-forward person! Whatever he thinks comes out of his mouth!"
