A group of seven people raced their horses towards Xiazhou. Without resting, and sparing no effort, they bypassed Yongzhou City and reached the post station by the time of Shen.
Manbao and the others stopped, quickly replenished their provisions and hot water at the post station, and prepared to continue their journey. The Post Station Steward noticed they were leaving directly and hurriedly said, "It's going to take a full day to reach the next post station from here, and if you leave now, you'll miss the place to stay for the night."
Manbao replied, "We'll find a village inn along the way to stay."
"What if you miss the village?" The Post Station Steward said, "Sir, it's not summer or autumn now. If you sleep outside, you'll freeze to death."
Manbao looked towards Daji.
Daji calculated the schedule and confirmed, "We can find a village to stay."
Manbao thanked the Post Station Steward for his reminder and led the group on their way.
