Chapter 2672 Hitchhiking

"Did you catch a cold because of the rain that day? Do you want to take some medicine?" Sui Xiaodong asked nervously.

"That's not the case. I've been taking so many medicinal baths at Gu's house these past few months, and I'm in good health. I'm just worried about something happening at home. Grandma is old. Although the letter said that mother had caught a cold before, I'm more worried about grandma." Fatty Wang said.

"Don't worry, the old lady has always been in good health. The letter said that the lady caught a cold, but didn't mention the old lady, so the old lady must be fine. Think about it, young master, the old lady rarely got sick before, and the lady would catch a cold every time the seasons changed. These are all trivial matters. Besides, don't we still have the pills for the elderly given by the third lady? When we go back, the old lady and the lady will definitely get healthier and healthier. Even the master will have fewer worries!" Sui Xiaodong advised.

"That's what I said, but I'm still worried. So, tomorrow morning, whether the rain stops or not, we will buy cattle and set off as planned." Fatty Wang said.

"Okay, young master. Then you can go back to sleep! If it rains again tomorrow, it will be inconvenient for us to rest if we drive the ox cart again." Sui Xiaodong advised again.

"Okay. Then you can rest too!" Fatty Wang nodded.

That night, Fatty Wang, like Zheng Qiu, could not fall asleep again and again until dawn.

After discussing with the old man who lived in the house, they were not short of money, so they bought the ox cart easily. At this time, the autumn harvest had passed, and there were two families willing to sell cattle. Sui Xiaodong followed the old man's advice and bought from one of them. He also gave him a condom and went to the old man's house to pick up Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang also left ten taels of silver for the injured Sui Xiaoxi, asking him to take good care of his legs. When the rain stopped, he asked the young people in the village to go to the capital and send a letter to the palace, asking the housekeeper to send someone to pick him up, or to ask someone to invite a doctor, and wait for them to come back here.

Anyway, Xiaoxi made his own choice.

As for the old man's accommodation fee and the cost of taking care of Xiaoxi, Fatty Wang paid enough.

It was dawn, and the rain had not stopped, but it had lightened up.

Fatty Wang followed Xiaodong to drive the ox cart.

In fact, after following Gu Xin, he also learned the skill of driving a horse-drawn carriage, but he almost didn't sleep last night, so he didn't have much energy at the moment.

Most of the time, Xiaodong was in control.

Because the road was muddy and difficult to walk, it took almost an hour to get on the official road.

They were lucky. They met a carriage on the official road. It was a carriage of the East-West Escort Agency. The leader happened to be someone that Fatty Wang had seen before and knew through Gu Xin. Moreover, the carriage of the East-West Escort Agency departed from the west gate of the capital. If it took the official road, it would definitely pass through Tongzhou, so Fatty Wang took their ride.

Xiaodong pulled the things and slowly hurried back. It was much easier to walk on the official road.

If Wang Pangzi hadn’t brought too many things, and the Escort Agency’s cart couldn’t hold them, Wang Pangzi would have asked Xiaodong to drive the ox cart back to the village.

Unfortunately, the things couldn’t fit in. He brought a lot of things for his family, and he had to take them back, so Xiaodong had to drive the ox cart to Tongzhou, and arrived later.

Wang Pangzi could only get a seat outside the carriage, which was full of things, and he couldn’t sit in it even though he had lost weight.
