As everyone ate, drank, and took a short nap, they felt particularly energetic to continue their journey in the afternoon. The three brawny men had originally planned to overtake the five carriages ahead and return to the capital first. However, since they "were treated with kindness" and enjoyed a good meal, they did not mind protecting them all the way until the next junction and continued the following behind their fleet.

Manager Lin seemed to have not recovered from the illness yet and coughed occasionally. Whenever she coughed, the handsome man frequently took a look at the carriage but could see nothing because of the bamboo curtain. After walking for about two hours, his subordinate Luo Tietou hiccupped and leaned closer towards the man. He whispered, "Boss, when are we stopping? I'm hungry."

The man glanced at him but did not answer his question. Another subordinate Zhao Liu asked, "We just had lunch not too long ago and you're hungry again?"

"The hiccups I had smelled so good that it's making me hungry again. I feel like having more food." Luo Tietou had another hiccup as soon as he finished speaking, and his mouth was suddenly filled with the smell of cured meat. It was said that food that entered the stomach would stink within a quarter of an hour, which made hiccups smell bad, but the dish made by Manager Lin was completely opposite. It had been four hours but the rich aroma of that dish remained in his mouth and stomach. Things were made worse when his hair and clothes were also covered with the smell of that dish.

In fact, Zhao Liu was also hungry and couldn't help looking at the handsome man.

"Keep on going, and stop talking nonsense." The man said with an expressionless face.

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. After another two hours, seeing that the sun was about to set, they ran to the front of the fleet and suggested loudly, "There is an empty mountain cove ahead that is good for camping and resting. Shall we settle there? There is a huge and dense forest if we continue any further, many wild animals may appear and it can be dangerous."

"Let's rest here for a night then." Xiao-zhu was a discerning servant after all and quickly asked the driver to stop.

"What are you eating tonight?" Luo Tietou hurriedly asked, even before the carriage had come to a full halt.

"That's none of your business." Xiao-zhu puffed his cheeks.

"No," Zhao Liu appeared from behind and jokingly said: "We could have left on our horses, but we have protected you all the way here. It's not too much to ask for dinner together, right?"

Xiao-zhu was about to take his revenge and mock them, but he heard a hoarse but gentle voice coming from the carriage, "Thank you for protecting us. Of course, we should treat you to a meal. That's not too much to ask at all. " When Manager Lin finished speaking, she jumped out of the carriage and carefully tied her hair with the headscarf to keep it from flying everywhere.

"Thank you so much, Manager Lin." Zhao Liu and Luo Tietou laughed heartily. Manager Lin was extremely polite and made people feel comfortable.

The hand man also cupped his hands and said earnestly, "Thank you, Manager Lin."

"You're welcome." Lin Dan smiled, "It's not good to have a heavy dinner or it may cause gut discomfort. Shall we have some wraps?"

"Of course, if that's not too much of a trouble for you." The handsome man had no objection, but his two subordinates were a little disappointed. They had been eating steamed buns for many days and had long been tired of eating it. As wraps and steamed buns were similar foods made of flour, they would rather eat more cured meat for dinner. They knew their guts were strong and would have no problems having another heavy meal. But seeing that their leader had accepted the menu, they naturally did not dare to raise any objection.
