Chapter 162 Midnight
Zhong Lin had long guessed that Mrs. Zhang would offer herself voluntarily. Her purpose was self-evident. She was naturally worried about Zhong Lin escorting the three of them, mother and son.

Her husband, whom she regarded as the most beloved by everyone, died of a sudden illness, leaving only two weak women and a child in her family. She was terrified by the housekeeper's betrayal before. Although Zhong Lin agreed to escort them for a while, she was still afraid that Zhong Lin would not be attentive along the way, so she resorted to this desperate measure and entertained him with sex.

Although Zhong Lin could see what Mrs. Zhang was thinking, he would not refuse. Instead, doing so would make Mrs. Zhang feel more at ease. Besides, why not eat the meat that was delivered to her door?

Mrs. Zhang already has two children, and her daughter Lin Shihua is 28 years old, but she herself is only 32 years old, in the prime of her life and mature.

Simple in one word.

Run.

Perhaps she was too tired last night, or perhaps she was too shy to face her daughter and Zhong Lin, but Mrs. Zhang hid in the carriage all day and refused to get out. Even the food was delivered to her in the carriage.

This made Lin Shihua extremely happy. During the meal, she expressed her admiration for Zhong Lin intentionally or unintentionally, and kept picking up food for him.

Zhong Lin also responded with a smile one by one, accepting all the requests.

The true energy in the body circulates on its own, constantly absorbing the internal energy scattered in the meridians, and strengthening the body.

The full-level "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong" can be practiced while walking, sitting or lying down. Although the speed is slower than active practice, it is continuous.

At this rate, in half a month at most, all the internal energy in the body will be converted into true energy, and Zhong Lin will truly enter the realm of a first-grade warrior.

In the evening, the convoy arrived at a county town. Instead of setting up camp in the wild as they did last night, they found an inn to stay in.

After finishing his meal, Zhong Lin returned to his room. At around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhong Lin, who was meditating, heard a noise coming from the door. A moment later, a sneaky figure appeared in the room.

"Son..."

The sweet voice made people feel sweet in their hearts. It was Mrs. Zhang.

Compared to yesterday's shyness, her eyes today are filled with passion.

Zhong Lin did not hesitate, and carried her to the bed amid Mrs. Zhang's exclamation, and in a moment she was skinned like a little lamb.

Soon, charming sounds were heard in the room.

Half an hour later, Zhong Lin stopped exercising and turned to look outside the door.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, continue."

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Zhang limped out of Zhong Lin's room, looking at Zhong Lin who was still lying on the bed with resentful eyes, as if she was looking at an animal.

The next morning, Zhong Lin went downstairs to have breakfast on time, but Mrs. Zhang continued to stay in the room on the pretext of feeling unwell.

Xiao Lin An ate and drank with big mouthfuls, but Lin Shihua beside him looked a little haggard, with dark circles under his eyes like a panda.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xiao Lin An asked curiously.

"It's okay, eat your buns!"

Lin Shihua picked up a bun and put it in Xiao Lin An's bowl, saying unhappily.

Tatata!
Zhong Lin walked down from upstairs and sat down at the table naturally.

"Miss Lin, did you not sleep well last night? Don't run around at night in the future. Make sure you get enough rest."

"Yeah, yeah, I just said my sister didn't sleep well last night, but she didn't let me talk."

Xiao Lin An said dissatisfiedly.

Lin Shihua glared at his younger brother, then turned to look at Zhong Lin. After a long silence, he whispered, "Mr. Zhong, the women out there are dirty. If you really can't help it, you can... you can..."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, her face redder and redder, and finally she lowered her head and rubbed the ground with her toes. She didn't know why she said that; it wasn't something an unmarried woman should say.

Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly, "What can I do?"

"Ignore you."

Lin Shihua's face turned red as blood. She stamped her feet and ran back to her room shyly.

"Brother Zhong, what happened to my sister?" Xiao Lin An's face was full of confusion.

Zhong Lin reached out and touched his head, then said with a smile, "It's okay. Hurry up and eat. We'll be leaving soon."

"Oh!"

After breakfast, the convoy started on its journey again.

Zhong Lin rode his horse at the front of the team, multitasking, constantly circulating his true energy and absorbing his internal energy.

At noon, when the convoy arrived in front of a dense forest, Zhong Lin suddenly raised his right hand and ordered them to stop.

His eyes were like lightning, scanning the dense forest on both sides, and he said in a shocking voice: "Friend, there are many mosquitoes and ants in the forest, be careful of being bitten, it's better to come out and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of ragged bandits came roaring out of the dense forest.

The guards of the convoy also hurriedly pushed the various material carts together to form a circle, tightly surrounding the carriage where Mrs. Zhang and her family were.

"Mother."

Xiao Lin An seemed to recall the scene from a few days ago. His face turned pale and he trembled in Mrs. Zhang's arms.

Lin Shihua also hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm in fear, her heart pounding.

"It's okay, it's okay. With Master Zhong here, we'll be fine."

Mrs. Zhang's voice was also trembling slightly. She didn't know whether she was comforting her two children or herself. She could only put all her hopes on Zhong Lin.

"Hey! I planted this tree, I built this road. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money for passage."

A burly man with a strong build jumped out of the dense forest carrying a ghost-head sword, stood in the middle of the road and shouted loudly.

"You pretty boy, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I only rape you, not you. If you know what's good for you, leave all these supplies behind and get out. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer and stab you in the gut."

Zhong Lin glanced at the big man in front of him and frowned slightly.

We encountered robbers not long after leaving the county town. In the past, bandits only appeared in places far away from the city. The situation is getting more and more chaotic.

He grabbed the ebony bow on the horse's back with his left hand, took out an arrow from the quiver with his right hand, bent the bow and put the arrow on it, like flowing water.

call out!
With a clear sound, the arrow flew through the air, passed by the leading man's scalp, and then hit a piece of bluestone behind him heavily.

The arrow sank directly into the bluestone, leaving only half of the tail wing outside and making a trembling sound.

The leading man felt a chill on his scalp, and the next moment a strand of hair fell from the air.

"roll!"

Zhong Lin snorted coldly.

The leading man subconsciously touched his scalp, only to find that his originally thick hair had become smooth. A trace of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead. He looked at Zhong Lin on horseback with horror, his knees weak, and he had an urge to kneel down.

"You haven't even reached the rank of martial arts yet you dare to imitate others in highway robbery. Who gave you the courage?"
