Chapter 223: Jiajia Brushes Past Song Jingchen
After leaving the town, as expected, they did not reach the next town before dark. They could only continue sleeping in the wilderness.
Shen Yijia did not mind. She could meet Furball in the wilderness, lowering the chances of it being caught and made into a tiger skin cloak.
After all, Furball had been raised in the Song family for so long. She couldn’t let others take advantage of Furball.
Furball seemed to be tired after running for the entire day. It nestled by Shen Yijia’s legs and fell asleep.
Under the light of the bonfire, Shen Yijia studied the map she had bought in the black market for 50 taels of silver.
The detailed maps here were not for sale. The only ones that could be bought were the simplified versions that roughly marked the town.
Shen Yijia only wanted to use it to understand the distribution of towns. It was enough.
The next large town after Lizhou was Wushuang City.
"Are you sure your master will pass through Wushuang City?" She asked this because she realized that there was another way to Xunyang. If Song Jingchen chose that path, she wouldn’t be able to catch up to him even if she broke Xiaohua’s legs. After all, there were limits to travel speed.
How should Rooster answer this? He knew where his master was going, but he really didn’t know which route he was taking. However, he didn’t dare to tell the truth. He could only say, "Master is in a hurry. He will definitely choose the shortest route."
