Chapter 432 Meeting the Robbers
In addition, the experiences of being away from home over the years have also increased Lin Wuyou's social experience, turning her from a simple, passionate little girl full of yearning for the outside world into a senior member of society with extraordinary martial arts and rich experience.
With the evil-minded Lin Wuyou accompanying Lin Cheng and traveling with him, Lin Chuyi doesn't have to worry about any danger on their trip.
But to be on the safe side, Lin Chuyi personally watched them take the two of them's effective detoxifying pills produced by the space. After taking this, they wouldn't have to worry about being poisoned.
In addition, Lin Chuyi also put a long-lasting third-level amulet on each of Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng, and equipped them with some healing pills and emergency items in case of emergency.
Lin Jinxiu adhered to the concept of "poor at home but rich on the road" and prepared ten silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels each for each of them, which she sewed separately into the secret pockets of their clothes. In order to make it easier for them to use money, she also exchanged a lot of loose silver coins and copper coins for them.
As for food, we prepared for them many of their favorite biscuits and snacks that can be kept for a long time, as well as various homemade side dishes, so that they can taste the flavors of home when they are away from home.
Following their two elder sisters' repeated instructions, Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng went out to travel, carrying with them their sisters' heavy love.
In addition to the things prepared by Lin Chuyi and Lin Jinxiu, Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng also brought some luggage of their own, mainly some spare clothes and some daily necessities.
When they went out traveling, they kept everything simple, even their clothes were plain in style, and they didn't bring any accessories. However, when they packed, they still found a lot of things.
Adding the things prepared by the two sisters, the size of the luggage became particularly large. Fortunately, Lin Jinxiu prepared a second-hand carriage for them, otherwise, if the two of them were to carry such heavy luggage on the road, they would probably become the focus all the way and be stared at everywhere.
Considering how well-known Lin Cheng's face is in Qingzhou City, Lin Wuyou was responsible for driving the car out of Qingzhou City, while Lin Cheng stayed in the carriage with the luggage.
The carriage drove smoothly along the wide and flat concrete road, out of the Qingzhou city gate, and headed west for another 20 kilometers before stopping to rest beside a river.
The brother and sister got off the carriage, fed the horses some water and fresh grass, then took out the food bags that Lin Jinxiu had prepared for them, and each ate four meat buns with water from the water barrel.
After eating and drinking, the two rested for a while and then set out again, heading west to Zhongzhou, the first stop of this journey.
The first stop was chosen as Zhongzhou, rather than Liuzhou and Lanzhou, which are adjacent to Qingzhou, for two main reasons.
One is that Liuzhou and Lanzhou are both fiefs of the eldest princess. Like Qingzhou, they have developed rapidly under the policies of the eldest princess. The people there are not rich in every household, but at least the problem of food and clothing has been mostly solved. It is very special and it is difficult to replicate this situation in other places, so it does not have much reference value.
Another reason is that Zhongxing City in Zhongzhou is the venue for all previous martial arts conferences, and the new martial arts conference will officially begin in the middle of next month.
Lin Wuyou was determined to become a chivalrous woman with superb martial arts skills, so she naturally inquired about the affairs of the martial arts world. She had long known that a new martial arts conference was about to begin, and now she had Lin Chuyi's permission to travel openly, so she naturally would not miss this great opportunity to broaden her horizons.
Therefore, from the moment she decided to travel with Lin Cheng, Lin Wuyou had been lobbying Lin Cheng to go to Zhongzhou. Lin Cheng understood Lin Wuyou's thoughts best and knew that she had to go to Zhongzhou and must have other purposes.
However, Lin Cheng himself did not have a clear answer as to where was the best place to travel, so when Lin Wuyou proposed to go to Zhongzhou, he only hesitated for a short while before agreeing.
Lin Wuyou's face immediately broke into smiles. Lin Cheng immediately asked Lin Wuyou why she chose to go to Zhongzhou, but Lin Wuyou was mysterious and refused to say anything. It was not until the carriage drove far away from Qingzhou that she told him that she wanted to go to Zhongxing City to watch the martial arts conference.
Lin Cheng was somewhat helpless. Did his third sister still not forget her dream of being a female knight? Although he was complaining in his heart, knowing that they were going to watch the martial arts competition and feel the real atmosphere of the martial arts world, Lin Cheng was still full of expectations.
When Lin Cheng was a child, he practiced basic skills with his third sister under the guidance of his second sister. After his basic skills were recognized by his second sister, he also got the opportunity to learn various body techniques and skills.
Lin Cheng had also fantasized that one day he would be as light as a swallow, able to climb walls and fly over rooftops, and have the physical strength to kill a wild boar with one knife. But the fact was that he did not have much talent for martial arts.
He persevered, getting up early every morning to practice martial arts, and he persisted in this way for three years, but still could not get the hang of it. So he began to cut his losses in time and put more energy into studying, which he was good at. He only maintained three sets of boxing practice every day to exercise his body.
After persisting for several years, his physical fitness is far superior to that of other classmates, but in terms of fighting power, he is far inferior to Lin Wuyou, who has always been persistent, and Huang Xiaoshun, who has well-developed motor nerves.
At the moment, although we cannot experience the feeling of being a martial arts master in person, we can witness the competition between martial arts masters with our own eyes and feast our eyes, which is also a good experience.
With their anticipation for the martial arts conference in mind, the brother and sister followed the instructions on the map prepared by Lin Chuyi and headed towards Zhongzhou.
Fortunately, there was still a month left before the start of the martial arts conference. Given the speed of the carriage, a month was more than enough time for them, so they slowed down their pace and stopped to rest when they arrived at the temporary resting place that had been decided in advance. After resting, they continued on their journey.
Therefore, except for the second day of the trip, when a heavy rain delayed their journey and forced them to take shelter in a dilapidated temple, they were able to rest in the preset resting place at other times.
The brother and sister ate and drank, walked and stopped along the way, as if they were on a relaxing spring outing.
Their good mood was ruined on the seventh day of their journey, when they encountered robbers not long after they set out.
Looking at the five burly men with weapons blocking their carriage, Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou looked at each other in surprise.
Before leaving Qingzhou, Lin Cheng's daily life was very simple. He mostly went back and forth between college and home. He would only occasionally go out to play with his family, or go on outings with classmates. He had never encountered a robbery.
