The mountain road became increasingly difficult to walk on. Zhou Jia wore a raincoat and drove the carriage to the halfway point of the mountain. It became increasingly difficult to walk in the rain.

When going down the mountain, a few people had to get out of the car to stabilize the rafters and slowly go down the mountain.

After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, Zhaocai pointed to the recess in the mountain and said to Zhou Jia: "Master, there is a house in the recess in front of the mountain. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain?"

Zhou Jia looked up and vaguely saw the house in the recess of the mountain. "Okay, let's go there to take shelter from the rain." He turned to Li Yu and said loudly, "Madam, there is a place ahead to take shelter from the rain."

"Okay, be careful, don't rush too much." Li Yu responded loudly.

The group of people walked for another half an hour before arriving at the house. As they got closer, they saw clearly that it was a dilapidated Taoist temple. They drove the carriage into the Taoist temple and saw several healthy horses tied to the Taoist temple, as well as several vehicles. A mule cart loaded with goods.

Li Yu and Xiaoyu got out of the car. Zhou Jia and Ruyi and others unloaded the car and pulled the car to a spacious verandah. When they walked into the hall, they saw that there were already people inside taking shelter from the rain.

Li Yu took a look and saw three tall men and four businessmen. Zhou Jia looked around, pointed to the seat on the right by the door and said to Li Yu: "Young madam, let's sit there for a while!"

Li Yu took a look and saw that the position behind the door could block the wind and allow him to see outside, so he nodded and took Xiaoyu to the corner. Xiaoyu took out an oilcloth mat and spread it on the ground. Agou took away the cloth mat and greeted Li Yuhe. Zhou Jia, "Master, Madam, the mat has been laid out, please sit down and have a rest."

"Okay, you should have a rest." Li Yu agreed and put his bag in the corner and said to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, your shoes are soaked through. I'll get a pair for you to change."

Agou stood up quickly and said, "I know where the young master's boots are. I'll get them."

Li Yu nodded, and after a while Agou walked in with boots and Zhaocai and Ruyi holding firewood.

Ruyi saw that several people had sat down behind the door. She took off her raincoat and said to Zhou Jia: "Master, it looks like the rain won't stop for a while. I'm going to get the clay stove and boil some hot water for everyone to wash up." .”

Li Yu looked at Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, you and Ruyi go together, bring a pot in, grab a handful of ginger rice from the basket, and make some ginger tea for everyone to drive away the cold."

"Yes, young lady." Xiaoyu responded and Ruyi walked to the door of the Taoist temple. Ruyi asked He Tiezhu, "Tiezhu, are you cold?"

He Tiezhu smiled honestly, "Brother Ruyi, I'm not cold, I just think the gloomy place on the other side is a bit scary."

After hearing this, the two looked towards the opposite side of the hall, and found that the ruins and the mist filled with rain and fog gave people a sinister and gloomy feeling.

Xiaoyu suddenly shuddered, Ruyi held Xiaoyu's hand, smiled and said to Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, you are too timid to go out. You also go in with us. It's raining so hard, you don't need to guard."

"I'm just worried." Tie Zhu smiled honestly and followed the two of them to the main hall carrying their things.

Xiaoyu went in and started to light up the fire to make ginger tea. The other two groups sat in front of their own fire, took out dry food, heated it on the fire and started eating.

A thin, middle-aged businessman observed Li Yu and the others for a while. When he saw that they had cooked ginger tea and waited for them to drink it, he walked over to Li Yu and the others with a wooden bowl and smiled at Zhou Jia. Said: "Sir, I would like to ask you for a bowl of ginger tea."

Seeing that the old man had gray hair and a tired face, Zhou Jia nodded and said, "Okay," Ruyi picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl of ginger tea for the merchant.

The merchant bowed and took the bowl, smiling gratefully and saying, "Thank you, sir."

Zhou Jia looked at Xing Shang and smiled, "Meeting is fate, it's just a bowl of ginger tea." Zhou Jia turned to look at the other people, "Everyone, there is also ginger tea. If you need it, you are welcome."

After hearing Zhou Jia's words, the other three merchants came over with wooden bowls and asked for a bowl of ginger tea. They bowed to express their thanks and then went back to drink the ginger tea from the bowls slowly.

After the elder merchant finished drinking, he smiled and said to Zhou Jia: "Thank you sir for the tea. It will make you feel much warmer after drinking it."

"You're welcome, old gentleman, it's just a bowl of ginger tea." Zhou Jia smiled politely.

Li Yu and the others gathered around the fire and made a bowl of camellia noodles. Li Yu took a quick look at the three tall men opposite him while holding the camellia noodles. He took a quick look at the three tall men opposite him. He saw only a few of them sitting there with lowered eyebrows and eyes. On the opposite side, Li Yu lowered his head and finished drinking the camellia noodles, and whispered to Zhou Jia: "Xiao Xi, you and Ruyi and the others have been driving for a whole day. Spread this piece out a little, and you can take Ruyi and the others to bed." I have to catch a train tomorrow morning!"

Zhou Jia also felt a little tired. He felt that his body was much stronger than before. Thinking that he still had to go on the road, he nodded and said, "Okay, we will take a rest first, and then you will have a rest."

Zhaocai had already brought in a large oilcloth mat, spread it out on the open ground, and the few of them lay down and fell asleep quickly.

Li Yu and Xiaoyu guarded a few people and watched as the sky gradually darkened. Several other people taking shelter from the rain in the hall were also drowsy. In addition to the breathing of the people taking shelter from the rain, the only sounds in the hall were raindrops. A ticking sound fell on the roof.

It took more than half an hour for the rain to stop. A merchant kicked the others and said, "Young man, the rain has stopped. Let's go out and keep watch."

The merchant who was called the youngest rubbed his eyes, picked up his luggage and walked out. The other two merchants also took their luggage and went out to guard the car.

Li Yu stood up and looked at the horses and salute carriages tied at the door. The older merchant smiled and said to Li Yu: "Madam, don't worry about salutes. We often stay at this Taoist temple, and the world is quite stable."

Li Yu bent his knees and saluted, "Thank you, father-in-law, for informing me."

Li Yu returned to the Taoist temple. As soon as he arrived at the door, there was a sudden commotion. Li Yu walked to the door with his cloak gathered up and saw a group of people arriving in front of the temple. There were more than a dozen carriages in total. The first carriage had a flag on it. , with the words Wuwei Escort Bureau written on the red background and black characters, it turned out to be the Escort Bureau escorting the escort's motorcade.

The group of people arrived in front of the main hall, pulled away the oilcloth covering the car, and cursed, "In this damn weather, his grandmother almost got wet to death."

Li Yu saw more than a dozen carriages loaded with wooden boxes, and there were brass nails on the wooden boxes. It looked like they were pulling valuables.

Li Yu had been in this other world for several years, and this was the first time he saw the escort agency with his own eyes. He stood at the door and looked around before returning to the hall. He saw Zhou Jia and Ruyi had already gotten up, and Xiaoyu and Agou looked at the others sleepily. , Li Yu said to several people: "It's okay, it's a convoy called Wuwei Escort Bureau."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and nodded, covering his mouth and coughing several times.

"Xiao Xi, are you catching a cold?" Li Yu saw that Zhou Jia's face was a little flushed, and he quickly squatted down and touched Zhou Jia's forehead. He felt it was a little hot, "Xiao Xi, you have a fever, so you need to take some pills."

Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and smiled sheepishly: "Madam, I am really a weak scholar, so useless."

"What nonsense are you talking about! You are caught in the rain and cold."

While talking, Ruyi had already brought in the medicine bag. Li Yu poured a glass of water from the hanging pot and handed it to Zhou Jia, "Take the medicine quickly and you'll be fine after some sleep."
