The days of following the escort team were not easy. I was young and set out without any preparation.

Fortunately, the escort team took good care of them because they were young. Xiaobao and Chu Liang were sweet-mouthed, and they kept calling them uncles and aunts along the way.

The escort team members were more lenient. Seeing that they didn't have a carriage, they put them on the escort team's carriage and sat next to the driver.

At the beginning, it was fine. The different scenery made Xiaobao and Chuliang very excited. They also heard the people in the standard team talking about all sorts of things. They were even more excited.

I even forgot the fatigue of the ride. But they were two kids after all? At night, their eyes started to bulge. Dong, the driver, couldn't bear to see them. He just let them lean against the cargo and half-close their eyes.

Xiaobao and Chuliang finally lost their initial excitement. They took the buns they bought with their pocket money and ate them sporadically.

But in my heart I was wondering when my mother would notice that we were missing.

Seeing that it was almost completely dark, Dong Ge tapped the two children on the forehead and gently told them that there was an inn not far away and they would stay there tonight.

Time passed quickly as we chatted, and finally we saw lights ahead.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of an inn. The leader of the team said to the others, "Those of you who want to stay overnight should make your own preparations. We will set out at dawn tomorrow morning, but remember not to fall behind." After that, he told the shop assistant to drive the carriage to the backyard.

Xiaobao and Chu Liang also took the opportunity to slip in, and the two of them whispered, should they get a room to sleep in tonight?

Xiaobao thought about it and felt that he was too young. If he took out the money and someone snatched it away, he would have no way to deal with it.

So Chu Liang and I simply took advantage of others not paying attention and slipped to the place where the goods were stored, and found an inconspicuous corner. Holding the bundle in our arms, the two of us fell asleep comfortably with our heads leaning against each other.

Xiaobao was awakened by the sound of the waiter coming to feed the horses. He looked up and saw that the sky was already getting light. He covered Chu Liang's mouth with his hand, shook Chu Liang, and pointed to the sky.

The two of them quickly got up and went to the front hall when no one was paying attention.

People were coming and going in the store, and no one paid attention to when the two children appeared.

Xiaobao looked at the hot meat buns and spent 20 coins to buy ten of them. He also spent another two coins to buy two large bowls of porridge. He and Chu Liang ate one bun and one porridge at a time until they couldn't eat any more and couldn't help burping. Then they stopped.

Across the street, scallion pancakes were being sold, and the aroma of chopped scallions drifted over with the air. The two looked at each other, and then ran over to buy ten scallion pancakes and put them on the road to eat.

Thinking about not having water to drink yesterday, Xiaobao saw water bags for sale on the counter. He looked at the pocket money in his purse, gritted his teeth, and spent another five cents to buy a water bag. He gave the waiter one cent and filled it with water.

Only then did he carefully put the purse back into his arms, and then, holding the water bag, he stood at the door with Chu Liang, waiting for the escort team to set off.

Dong Ge got up early in the morning and looked up to see two children waiting at the door. He ran over and tapped their foreheads: "Little brats, where did you two sleep last night? Why didn't I see you two?"

Xiaobao and Chu Liang laughed: "Brother Dong, we just found a place outside."

Thinking of Dong Ge's care along the way, she took out another scallion pancake from her bag and walked to Dong Ge with a smile: "Dong Ge, we didn't win much money from the scallion pancakes we just bought, so we can only buy this one. I'll give it to you."

Dong Ge: "Okay, thank you."

After just a few words of casual conversation, the leader of the Gan team gave the orders to prepare to set off.

Brother Dong sat in the car, looked at Xiaobao and Chu Liang, waved, and patted his side, motioning for the two to come over.

Xiaobao and Chu Liang jumped into the car quickly, and as soon as one of them sat down, the car started moving forward.

We had a few days of peace and quiet, but on the fourth day, we had to cross a mountain. We were going to stay on the other side of the mountain. But halfway through, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky. As the raindrops got bigger and bigger, the road became harder and harder to walk on. The team moved slower and slower. It was completely dark in the middle of the mountain. Finally, we had no choice but to come to a valley that could shelter us from the wind and rain and were forced to stop.

Seeing that the wind and rain were getting stronger, Xiaobao and Chu Liang simply shrank under the carriage and hid under it.

Dong Ge also leaned back towards the carriage, hoping to block some of the wind and rain.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in front of the convoy. Then, some guests who followed the escort team walked to the back and retreated in panic.

As he walked, he shouted: "The bandits are coming to kill us."

Then, the leader of the standard team sent a message: "All members of the escort team are on alert. Those who are accompanying you should not panic. The standard team will do their best to protect you."

Xiaobao saw that Dong Ge’s expression was getting nervous, so he pulled out a knife from the cargo cart and held it in his hand.

Xiaobao and Chu Liang were nervous. It was the first time they encountered such a thing. They were curious in their panic. They vaguely heard voices in the sound of wind and rain ahead. It seemed that they were talking about how much silver they wanted.

The wind and rain gradually died down, and soon the torches were lit. The process was still going on, but it didn't look very smooth.

The escort team was getting more and more nervous. Dong Ge cursed under his breath, stuffed Xiaobao and the grain storage under the car, looked at the two of them seriously and said, "You two stay here for now. If a fight breaks out, and if you see us lose, you two should run away quickly and hide in a corner where no one will notice you."

Xiaobao grabbed Dong Ge and said, "Dong Ge, are there bad guys here?"

He hurriedly took out two scallion pancakes from his bag and stuffed them into Dong Ge's hand: "Dong Ge, then you eat them first, so you will have strength later."

Dong Ge suddenly smiled, took a scallion pancake and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely: "Okay, thank you Xiaobao, it's worth my care for you along the way." After eating, he tapped the foreheads of the two people and turned to walk forward.
