After everything was ready, everyone left the villa and arrived at the manor. In the middle of the road, a horse carriage was parked. On it sat an Aud man who looked very sturdy. He wasn't very talkative, and upon seeing the crowd approach, he simply bowed his head slightly in a humble way without uttering a word.
The carriage looked quite unadorned, like a typical mixed goods and passenger vehicle, with wooden planks for seats on either side. A tarp was draped over the top to shield against wind and rain. A strong, brown horse was hitched to it, looking robust.
Before Luo'er and the others boarded, the carriage had already been filled with cargo: grain and supplies needed for their journey.
Luo'er was the first to board the carriage, which creaked under his weight. The sound stirred a sense of unease in the others, but the carriage itself proved very sturdy, at least to Luo'er's judgement.
