The wheels of the long-stalled ox cart started rolling again, carrying them toward the border between Liang State and Qingqiu.
On the road, Dogwa shaded his forehead with his hand, constantly fanning his sweaty face. "It's so damn hot, Senior Brother Li. How about we leave tomorrow instead?"
"It'll be hot tomorrow, too. Are you going to suggest we leave the day after that? It'll still be hot. What then, wait until autumn? If it was so great back there, why did you tag along? It would have been better for you to stay with Baolu and herd sheep, wouldn't it?"
Hearing Li Huowang's teasing, Dogwa glanced at the remaining women, grinned sheepishly, and fell silent. He wasn't that stupid. With a potential wife almost in his grasp, why would he stay behind? As delicious as meat was, how could it compare to a wife? Besides, as long as he followed Senior Brother Li, he'd never have to worry about going hungry.
