Unfortunately, despite her hard work and long search, she still failed to find the place that satisfied her.

Fortunately, Ye Zifen knew very well that this town was too small, and it was unrealistic to easily find the passage she had dreamed of here.

So she took a deep breath and secretly told herself that she must not give up easily, because tomorrow would be waiting for her to look for it again.

After she calmed down a little, she sorted out her thoughts in an orderly manner, and then walked slowly back in the direction she came from with extremely firm steps.

After the two turned and left, the chefs still sat at the table and continued to enjoy the food on the table.

The chewing sound was particularly loud in this quiet environment, again and again, as if it was a unique melody played by the silent passage of time.

After they swallowed the food in their mouths, they put down their bowls and chopsticks contentedly and slowly stood up.

They walked leisurely and leisurely on the street at a leisurely pace.

His eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, constantly scanning and lingering on the stalls on the street.

Sometimes he would reach out, gently pick up an object of interest, and examine it carefully.

Look here, one of the masters fell in love with an extremely exquisite wood carving at first sight.

He held it carefully in the palm of his hand, stroking the delicate lines on it, his eyes revealing his undisguised love.

"Let the caravan send the kid back so he won't forget about me."

On the other side, another chef was standing in front of a stall full of fresh fruits and vegetables, carefully selecting his favorite ingredients.

I saw him bargaining with the stall owner while picking and choosing, and the scene was very lively.

Before long, the chefs successfully purchased enough food.

Those heavy packages seem to carry the joy of a good harvest, making people happy just by looking at them.

At this time, Ye Zifen and Zhang Gaoyi also came back.

Then, they continued walking along the street, and soon found an inn nearby that looked quite nice.

So, the group stepped into the inn without hesitation.

The shop assistants came forward with smiles on their faces, greeted the masters attentively, and took the initiative to lead them to their respective rooms.

At this time, the innkeeper came over and said to everyone with a smile: "Dear guests, you have come at the right time! There will be a grand fair in our town tomorrow. If you want to buy some items or specialties, you might as well go to the market and have a look. You may find a lot of good treasures!"

Ye Zifen, who had been following her master silently, heard the news. Her eyes, which had been somewhat dim, suddenly lit up with bright light, like the bright stars that suddenly twinkled in the night sky.

She thought to herself that perhaps this trip to the market would bring her unexpected surprises and opportunities.

After entering the room, Ye Zifen lay down on the bed with her clothes on, hoping to recover her strength as soon as possible by resting early.

The next day, before dawn, Ye Zifen had already gotten up and washed up impatiently, then hurried out to the market and began to carefully select a horse suitable for long-distance journeys.

It was indeed very lively today, with several horse farms, but not many horses.

After careful selection, her efforts paid off and she finally bought a good horse with a strong appearance and a gentle temperament.

Then, everyone quickly packed up their bags and equipment, mounted their horses, and prepared to set off again.

After walking for a distance, Ye Zifen stopped and looked back at the town they had just passed. She said thoughtfully, "Oh, I didn't expect that after passing that town, the villages here would be so dense! It's a pity that we were unlucky and were blocked by heavy snow. We had to wait for more than half a month."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded, agreeing with her view, and then explained: "Yes, you see there are many mountains over there, but the arable land is quite scarce. It is difficult for people to rely on farming for a living, so naturally there can't be many villages. And the area behind the town has flat and fertile land, which is suitable for farming, so naturally the population will increase."

After hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then you have never walked this road before?"

Zhang Gaoyi shook his head and replied, "I have indeed never been here. I have always taken the route from my hometown to the border, which is completely different from here. I just happened to bypass this section of the journey."

As he spoke, he pointed to the mountains and winding paths in the distance.

Ye Zifen frowned slightly, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Alas, we really have no other choice this time. Back then, when I was still in that quiet and peaceful town, I specially asked someone to send a letter to my cousin Chuanshan, so that my relatives far away in the capital would worry less."

Zhang Gaoyi, who was standing by, nodded his head repeatedly to show his agreement and said, "Well, this is a good idea. Look at the ground. There are some clear and visible wheel tracks. In my opinion, our caravan must have just left here not long ago. If we work harder, we may be able to catch up with them soon."

When everyone heard this, their originally dull eyes instantly brightened up, just like bright stars suddenly blooming in the night sky.

Especially those bodies that had already been exhausted by the long journey, seemed to be re-injected with a powerful source of strength at this moment.

One of them couldn't hold back his excitement and eagerness, and hurriedly shouted, "Oh, if that's the case, then we must speed up!"

Another person also quickly echoed, "That's right, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and catch up, so as to avoid any unexpected changes."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire team suddenly became tense and full of expectation. Everyone's pace involuntarily quickened a lot, hoping to catch up with the caravan ahead as soon as possible.

The crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, interweaving with each other, like a passionate symphony, echoing for a long time in the vast and empty road.

Everyone's eyes were fixed firmly on the front, as if the most precious treasure in the world was waiting for them to explore.

In their hearts, there was only one thought that burned like a flame - to catch up and see!
