Chapter 297 It’s not easy for anyone to come
"When I get back, I will definitely find some mugwort to wash my face and get rid of the bad luck."

"It's winter now, where can we find mugwort?"

"Of course there is. The pharmacy must have dried wormwood balls."

"Really? I'll buy it then."

Everyone was talking at once, their faces filled with joy and excitement.

Bai Youfu: "Then you guys continue, I'm going to go out for a while."

Anyway, he has already said it in advance, so if there is any carelessness at the time, it doesn't matter.

"Butler, what are you doing?"

Bai Youfu didn't respond, but waved his hand without turning his head.

There are famous Weng jars in Wengcheng. He will go pick some and bring them back to give to his aunt to play with.

Although Bai Tao had not given any instructions, the people in Taohua Village had already gotten used to it. They would feel uncomfortable if they went out without bringing something for Bai Tao.

Every time they go out and bring something for Bai Tao, the villagers are even happier when they see Bai Tao happy.

Although the caravan did not tell anyone about leaving Wengcheng the day after tomorrow, they were discussing it in the courtyard of the inn. They were so happy and excited that they talked a little loudly.

Therefore, some stranded guests in the inn also heard it.

People in the inn had different opinions about this matter.

Most people don’t believe that once the war starts, it will be easy to stop.

Especially for merchants, many troops conducted focused searches, and confiscating items and imposing fines were considered light punishments.

If you're not careful, you might be drafted on the road to work for the army doing logistics, washing clothes, and raising horses, or even be used as a target on the battlefield.

"I think what they said might be true. The people living in that yard are from the Baijiabao caravan." The person who spoke had a look of anticipation on his face.

Someone nearby said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the Baijiabao caravan? They are just a little better than the average caravan, but there is an army in front of them. The armies of Liang and Qi are fighting fiercely. No one can stop them."

Someone agreed: "Yes, no matter how powerful a merchant caravan is, it can never be compared with the imperial army, let alone the armies of two countries."

Some people agree, while others cannot deny it.

Although some people did not say anything, they were inclined towards the Baijiabao caravan in their hearts.

Those who had high hopes for the Baijiabao caravan quietly packed up their things and prepared to follow.

When the time comes, they will follow the Baijiabao caravan. If they can really leave, they will quickly follow them.

If the Baijiabao caravan was stopped, they would turn around and the Baijiabao caravan in front would give them time to escape.

Bai Youfu and the others also knew what the people in the inn were thinking. Facing overt and covert inquiries, although they did not say much, they also expressed their intention to leave the city the day after tomorrow.

Anyway, even if they don't tell anyone, the people in the inn will know when they pack up tomorrow.

Many merchants gathered together in groups of three or five for safety. They sent a letter of greeting to Bai Youfu and planned to leave the city with the Baijiabao caravan.

"You don't have to beg us. If you want to leave, we can go together."

Bai Youfu smiled and said, "It's the end of the year now. You guys must be missing home after being away all year. It's important for you to go home early and spend time with your family."

Although these words did not say anything, they revealed a lot of information. If you were not sure, how could you say you wanted to go home to be with your family?

So when those who were originally worried heard this, they immediately felt relieved and were extremely happy.

"Thank you, Steward Bai, for letting us go with you."

Bai Youfu smiled: "You are too polite, everyone."

Although some people scoffed at this, they were also quietly paying attention to the situation on the battlefield ahead. The next day.

Bai Youfu and his party had packed up the carriages and trucks, but the battle ahead was still in full swing.

As a result, a one-sided situation immediately emerged in the city regarding the news that spread yesterday, and everyone was scolding Bai Youfu and his group for lying.

The people stranded in the inn also had some complaints, but they only dared to complain in private and not in front of Bai Youfu and his group.

After all, it is hard to say whether you can leave the city or not, but if you provoke the Baijiabao caravan, you will definitely be punished.

However, Bai Youfu and his companions pretended not to hear the questioning looks in the inn.

Are you kidding? What do these people know? Since our aunt said she would take us home, she will definitely take us home.

While Bai Youfu was waiting for the news from the other end of the communicator, he hummed in his heart, this is what it feels like to be the only one sober while everyone else is drunk? !

It was not until the evening that the sound of retreat was heard from the battlefield ahead.

In ancient times, wars were inseparable from "gold" and "drums".

When ordering the army to move and attack, drums were beaten, which meant attacking with drums; and when ordering the army to stop or retreat, gongs were struck, which meant calling back the troops.

Therefore, even if you can't see the battlefield, you can still judge the situation ahead from the sounds.

The people in Wengcheng waited for almost a whole day, and as a result, there were more ridicules against the Baijiabao caravan.

"It's absurd, these people..."

Bai Youfu looked up at Bai Dacang who came back angrily from outside and said, "Why do you care about what those people do?"

"But they said that to us, and if we see tomorrow that it's possible, they will shamelessly follow us..."

Bai Dacang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and the more he spoke, the angrier he became: "We never asked them to believe us, nor did we ask them to follow us. Yet they are talking nonsense and saying that we are bragging..."

"Didn't my aunt say that the world is so big, there are always some people who are just here to make up the numbers?" Bai Youfu said slowly, "Why do you care about them?"

Seeing that Bai Dacang wanted to say something, Bai Youfu asked, "Have you packed your things?"

Bai Dacang paused for a moment and nodded, "I've packed it up."

"The horses have been fed, and the carts have been checked, and I'm sure they'll work fine tomorrow."

"That's fine." Bai Youfu said, "Let everyone rest early tonight. We will set off tomorrow when we hear news from the front."

"My aunt said she's waiting for us to go back and have some delicious food."

"Hey." Bai Dacang responded with a smile, forgetting that he was angry just now. He turned around and checked the carriage and cart.

Although the people of the Baijiabao caravan knew that they would leave tomorrow, they did not relax at all, and those who were supposed to be on night duty still did so as usual.

Because of this, several people who were trying to steal things were caught in the middle of the night.

This was not the first time that the Baijiabao caravan had encountered such a situation. They were too lazy to send the person to the official office in Wengcheng, so they simply broke his hands and feet and threw him out of the inn without saying a word.

When it was just daybreak, Bai Youfu and others, who were used to getting up early, were already active in the yard.

Bai Youfu had just finished two sets of punches and was about to do the third when he felt a vibration in his waist.

He stopped immediately, looked serious, and hurried back to his room.

"Only twice today?"

"he?"

Bai Dacang and the others were just wondering, but soon they thought of something, their eyes lit up, and they said in unison: "News."
