2672 Chapter 2672-Hitchhiker

“Young master, did you catch a cold because you were caught in the rain that day? Young master, do you want to take some medicine?” His follower, little Dong, asked nervously.

“That’s not it. I’ve been taking so many medicinal baths in the Gu family for the past few months, and my body is very good. I’m just worried about my family. Grandmother is old and even though the letter mentioned that mother had caught a cold, I am more worried about grandmother.” Fatty Wang said.

“Young master, don’t worry. Old Madam has always been healthy. The letter said that Madam was infected with the cold wind and did not mention the old Madam, so the old Madam must be fine. Young master, think about it. In the past, the old Madam rarely fell sick. Every time the seasons changed, the madam would have a cold wind. These were all small matters. Moreover, don’t we still have the pills that third young lady gave to the older people? When we go back, the old Madam and Madam will definitely get healthier. Even master’s worries will be reduced!” His follower, little Dong, advised.

“That’s true, but I’m still worried. So, tomorrow morning, regardless of whether the rain has stopped or not, we’ll go according to the plan and buy cows.” Fatty Wang said.

“Very well, young master. Then young master can continue sleeping! If it rains again tomorrow and we have to drive the ox-cart, I’m afraid it’ll be inconvenient for us to rest.” His follower, little Dong, advised.

“Alright. Then you should rest too!” Fatty Wang nodded his head.

That night, fatty Wang, like Zheng Qiu, could not fall asleep until dawn.

After discussing with the old man who was staying in the house, they didn’t lack money, so they easily bought an ox cart. At this time, the autumn harvest was over, and there were two families willing to sell cattle. The follower little Dong listened to the old man’s suggestion and bought one of them. He even gave a set of gloves and went to the old man’s house to pick up fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang left another ten taels of silver for his injured attendant, Xiao Xi, to let him recuperate his legs. When the rain stopped, he would ask the young people in the village to make a trip to the capital to send a letter to the Wang Residence and ask the Butler to send someone to pick them up or to get a doctor. It would be fine if he just waited here for them to return.

It was Xiaoxi’s choice anyway.

As for the accommodation fees and the cost of taking care of Xiaoxi, fatty Wang had already paid for them.

The sky had just brightened. The rain did not stop, but it had already become lighter.

Fatty Wang and his follower little Dong were driving the ox-cart.

In fact, after he followed Gu Xin, he had also learned how to drive a carriage. It was just that he didn’t sleep much last night, so he didn’t have much energy now.

Most of them were controlled by little Dong.

As the road was muddy and difficult to walk on, it took them nearly two hours to reach the official road.

They were lucky to have met a carriage the moment they got on the main road. It was a carriage from the East and West escort agency. Fatty Wang had met the person leading the carriage before and got to know him through Gu Xin. Furthermore, the East and West escort agency’s carriage set off from the West Gate of the capital city. If they took the main road, they would definitely pass through Tongzhou. Therefore, fatty Wang decided to hitch a ride from them.

Little Dong pulled his things and slowly rushed back. It was much easier to walk on the official road.

If it wasn’t for the fact that fatty Wang had brought too many things and the carriage couldn’t carry them all, fatty Wang would have asked little Dong to drive the ox-cart back to the village.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring his things back. He had brought a lot of things for his family, so he had to bring them back. So, he had to trouble little Dong to drive the ox cart to Tongzhou and arrive a little later.

Fatty Wang was only able to get a seat outside the carriage. It was filled with things, so even if he had slimmed down, he still wouldn’t be able to get a seat.
