They returned to the inn, which was quiet. Everyone had gone to bed, or rather, had not yet woken up.

There was only the waiter on duty in the inn. When he saw Su He coming back and Song Yu beside him, he seemed to wake up in shock: "Oh, young lady, you are finally back. This young master has been looking for you for a long time."

Song Yu turned his head to look at Su He.

Su He explained, "I saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, so I gave them some silver to help me look for you."

Song Yu nodded to the waiter.

They waited until dawn and checked out early.

Until he left, no one from Suzaku Gate came to his door.

After leaving Sifang City, they set off with Lu Shangbai's caravan.

The Lushang Bai family lives in Shangjin City, two hundred kilometers away.

His family has been in business for three generations. He only said that his family has a few small shops, but did not say how big his business is.

Song Yu observed quietly and found that Lu Shangbai's cargo included furs and medicinal herbs in considerable quantities, and he brought more than ten people with him.

Lu Shangbai is their leader. Along the way, everyone has been very disciplined and obeys Lu Shangbai's orders.

What Song Yu originally thought was Lu Shangbai's friend was actually his helper, or assistant.

Judging from the situation of the caravans, their trade is very mature and was not established overnight.

I think Lu Shangbai is not an ordinary small businessman.

However, Song Yu didn't want to get anything from Lu Shangbai, so Song Yu didn't need to please Lu Shangbai along the way.

On the contrary, Lu Shangbai's physical condition had indeed improved after taking Song Yu's medicine, so he was always polite to Song Yu.

Song Yu was not too close to them. He only formed a team with Su He and followed the caravan at a distance.

A distance of 200 kilometers doesn’t take long to drive in modern times.

But here, although there are horses and carriages, the road is rugged and there is cargo, so it takes about five or six days to complete the journey.

After two days of walking, everything went smoothly. However, as evening approached, Su He looked at the sky and his expression became a little grim.

Seeing this, Song Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

Su He said, "Looking at the weather, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain tonight."

Song Yu was confused: "Ah? There is a rainstorm? Are you sure?" She looked up at the cloudless sky.

Su He nodded, and Song Yu thought that Su He would not lie to her, nor would he scare her with such things.

"Then do you want to go and tell them?" Song Yu was naturally referring to the people in the caravan.

Su He said, "No need. If a person who has been doing business for many years doesn't have this kind of judgment, what business is he in?"

They walked for a while and when they saw a rural inn, the team slowly stopped.

Song Yu also tightened the reins of his horse, and a man came running back from the front.

He walked up to Song Yu's horse and said, "Doctor Song, our host says there might be a heavy rain tonight. We will rest here today and continue our journey tomorrow when the weather clears up."

Song Yu nodded and replied: "Okay."

After everyone left, Song Yu gave Su He a thumbs up and praised him generously: "You are really amazing."

Su He smiled faintly, got off the horse first, and then helped Song Yu down.

Lu Shangbai instructed everyone to cover the goods and make sure they were not wet by the rain.

His assistant went to the inn first, probably to get a room.

With so many people here, it means business, the shop owner should be very happy.

However, after a while, the assistant came out with a bad look on his face. He walked to Lu Shangbai and whispered something to him.

Song Yu couldn't see Lu Shangbai's expression, but she intuitively felt that something must have happened.

She hesitated whether to go up and ask, then saw the assistant nodded and walked back into the store.

Lu Shangbai continued to direct the people and place the goods.

"It's okay." Su He stood beside Song Yu and said softly.

Song Yu looked up at Su He with worry in his eyes.

Nowadays, in the 8s and 90s, when you travel far away, even if you take a car, there will be bandits on the road.

What's more, now, didn't they encounter them on the way to Sifang City? Although they were not bandits, their nature was similar, and they were all looking for trouble.

But there are more of them now than there were then.

But Su He once said that anyone who can open a store in such a remote place is not an ordinary person.

After Lu Shangbai had the goods placed, he brought two of his men to Song Yu.

He said politely, "Doctor Song, Master Su, just leave your horses to them. We will stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

Song Yu couldn't help but asked, "Boss Lu, what happened?" When she said this, she looked towards the inn.

Lu Shangbai was stunned, then he thought that Song Yu must have just seen his subordinates reporting the situation to him and had noticed something.

Lu Shangbai thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the store owner said that Lin Kou'er might come to rob tonight."

"Lin Kou'er?" Song Yu didn't understand.

Lu Shangbai explained, "It's underworld slang for bandit."

Song Yu's eyes suddenly widened: "Are there really bandits?"

When Lu Shangbai saw that Song Yu heard it, his reaction was not fear, but surprise.

"Well, Dr. Song, don't worry. We have a lot of people, so nothing may happen." Lu Shangbai said.

"It's not necessarily a problem, but that doesn't mean there's still a possibility that something might happen?" Song Yu asked.

Lu Shangbai said: "When you are in the world, it is inevitable."

"Boss Lu, you don't seem nervous at all?" Song Yu said.

Lu Shangbai said, "This isn't the first time I've encountered this. If I get nervous every time, I won't be able to continue my business."

Song Yu looked at Lu Shangbai, who was in his early thirties and had a face that revealed the shrewdness typical of a businessman.

After Lu Shangbai finished speaking, he sternly warned Song Yu, "Tonight, no matter what happens, don't go out."

Song Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Boss Lu, don't worry, I will never hold you back." He listened to the advice and ate his meal.

Seeing that Song Yu had misunderstood, Lu Shangbai quickly explained, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll hold me back, it's that I'm worried you've never encountered this before. If we really start fighting, I'm afraid I'll scare you."

Song Yu sighed inwardly that Boss Lu was quite considerate.

The group entered the inn, and Assistant Lu Shangbai booked three upper rooms and two dormitory rooms.

The upper room was naturally opened for Lu Shangbai, Song Yu, who treated Lu Shangbai, and Su He.

The dormitory bed is naturally where these guys sleep.

Su He said, "We only need one."

He said this to Lu Shangbai, and was also telling the shopkeeper.

The money was paid by Lu Shangbai, so the shopkeeper naturally listened to Lu Shangbai.

Lu Shangbai looked back and forth between Song Yu and Su He.

Seeing that Song Yu had no objection, he agreed to Su He's words and took the two upper rooms.

Lu Shangbai said, "Shuangque, you stay with me tonight."

"Yes, Boss." Shuangque is Lu Shangbai's assistant.

He is usually serious, but Lu Shangbai trusts him quite a bit.

After the rooms were assigned, Lu Shangbai paid some money and asked the store to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Everyone had a good meal and drink. After the meal, Shuangque arranged someone to be on duty, and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
