Guanzhou Mansion these days was much deserted compared to the day they first entered the city, which was not surprising, after all, everyone was afraid of death.

Fortunately, news of the plague in other places has not spread yet, otherwise it would definitely be even more deserted than it is now.

However, after going out, many people could still be heard talking about it. Lin He listened carefully and found that most of them were discussing. Recently, no caravans had come to the capital, and the goods in the city were much less than before.

There are many smart people, and many people speculate that other places have already suffered from the plague, but they are luckier.

After all, Yongfeng Trading Company is located all over the country. Almost everyone with a little common sense knows that there is no reason to only come to Guanzhou Prefecture.

After all, Guanzhou Prefecture is not a border fortress, and it is not a rich place. It can even be said to be a relatively poor place.

The only thing that people can look at is probably if something really happens, the court probably won't be so quick to take care of this 'advantage'.

Many people speculated like this, and as a result, everyone quickly began to sympathize with those who had left before.

There was no news from outside, and no new cargo ships came from the dock. The inconvenient communication led everyone to think that the outside was hell, and Guanzhou Mansion was the only safe place.

From where they lived to the city gate, Lin He heard many similar discussions in less than a cup of tea.

Although no one can get the exact information, their guesses are all accurate.

However, it should not be as serious as everyone said now. After all, it was discovered and controlled in time. It should be in the recovery period now. It won't be long before business exchanges between cities can resume.

The two of them did not encounter much obstruction when they left the city. At most, they only checked their road signs.

Li Changhui was the person who helped Guanzhou Prefecture avoid disaster this time. Not many people knew about this, and even fewer people knew him, so it was naturally very convenient to get out of the city.

It was already May, and the sun was shining brightly. After driving the carriage for a while in the sun, it was still a little hot.

Naturally, the search for the aurora was not aimless. When leaving the city, Li Changhui took out a small whistle.

Be prepared to go a little further and blow the whistle directly. As long as the aurora is nearby, it will come by itself.

This whistle is made of a special material, and the sound it makes cannot be heard by humans, but animals can hear it.

Lin He suggested: "Why don't we go to the pier and have a look? It's still early today anyway."

Li Changhui, who was about to stop the carriage, used his strength again, and the horse changed direction and continued forward. He also threw the whistle to Li Hao aside.

"Blow for a while. If you hear the aurora, it will come over."

"Okay dad." Li Hao took the whistle in surprise and sat on the other side of the carriage, and Li An also joined him.

Li Changhui had taught them how to blow this whistle before, but he didn't usually use it, so he hadn't really tried it yet.

Lin He moved a little closer to Li Changhui: "Brother Hui, according to your estimation, when is the best time for us to leave?"

Now their only connection with the outside world is Jinrong's trading firm.

But others don't know the relationship between Li Changhui and Jinrong. The only thing that can make them believe it is that Manager Wang brought Li Hao and Li An to Guanzhou Mansion for a while and met Shopkeeper Liu.If not, I'm afraid even if they find Shopkeeper Liu, they will just be regarded as liars from nowhere.

Li Changhui was not in a hurry this time: "We will stay in Guanzhou Mansion first and wait until the caravan outside recovers and brings more news."

Lin He nodded: "This is indeed the only way."

In the past, the prefect occasionally told Li Changhui some news. Now that Li Changhui has received the reward he deserves, it is difficult to see the prefect again, let alone inquire about the news.

Not to mention Shopkeeper Liu, if Li An was older, he could pretend to be one of Manager Wang's subordinates, and while Manager Wang was away from Guanzhou Mansion during this period, he could fool him and get some information.

It's a pity that Li An is too young and is still a child. No one can believe that a little guy like him can have any real abilities.

Before, I was still worried that something would really happen, and I also wanted to suppress my opponent, so I sent people to monitor it.

Now, I will definitely not tell them much about the outside news.

Thinking of this, Lin He sighed: "The lack of information is so uncomfortable. I don't know what's going on outside, and my eyes are all black, just like a blind man."

Li Changhui didn't care at all: "Don't worry, maybe there will be news from the outside soon when we go back."

Lin He was dubious. Fortunately, there was no need to have any news. If that didn't work, he could just stay in Guanzhou Mansion for a while and treat it as a rest.

While chatting, the carriage quickly followed the road and arrived near the dock.

You can see the pier in the distance. There are some residents and a few small fishing boats nearby, but no real big boats are seen.

According to Lin He's understanding in the past few days, river cargo ships are like a large three-story house. There is a layer inside the cabin that is dedicated to stacking cargo and housing the crew.

There are two floors on the deck. The first floor is usually where ordinary people can live, and the second floor is where wealthy people live. Some ships even have Kabuki for entertainment.

When he heard this, Lin He knew that shipping in this world was very developed. There were two or three-story ships on the river. He didn't know how big the ships on the sea were.

Unfortunately, at this moment, due to other reasons, there is nothing on the river except a few small fishing boats. It is empty, with only the tall pier, which can prove that there should have been huge cargo ships here.

However, there was no big boat, but the Grand Canal was seen. Lin He was shocked when he saw the wide river in front of him.

The river is turbulent, but near the dock, the mountains upstream extend out, blocking all the rapid rivers, leaving a calm bay where ships can dock calmly.

Li Changhui did not bring a few people closer, but drove the car to a higher hillside near the dock. From here, he could see the entire dock and some nearby residents.

The residents by the river didn't come to see them either.

Everyone is not stupid. These people can tell at a glance that they came from Guanzhou Mansion. What if they have something with them? Lin He and the others are the same. Anyway, they just avoid contact with strangers.

Several people got off the carriage and admired the magnificent river view on the hillside until Li Hao came to his parents with a frown on his face.

"Dad, I've been blowing for a long time, but there has been no movement from the Aurora. Did I learn it wrong? Why is there no response at all?"
