Everyone has been in a sorry state for days, especially those families who didn't prepare raincoats. By the time they reached the next post station, they couldn't find a single dry piece of clothing, and many fell ill because of it.
Everyone knew that upon reaching this post station, it meant they had arrived at Lingnan, and most of the journey was completed.
Originally, everyone should have been happy, but looking at the weather, no one could feel cheerful.
If this rain continues, not only will the journey be difficult, but it's uncertain whether they'll survive to reach their destination.
Perhaps it was anticipated early on; as they entered the post station, the air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.
Smelling the herbal aroma, everyone felt they should have a large bowl right now, as a priority to preserve their lives.
Gu Kaiyuan walked into the adjacent inn as usual, feeling terribly uncomfortable from the continual dreary rain despite all their prior preparations.
