Everyone felt that it was because they had plenty of supplies and good luck that they lacked nothing, were neither hungry nor cold, and had a very smooth journey.
Min Yueqing, who was instrumental behind the scenes, was pleased with everyone's reaction and smiled slightly, concealing her achievements.
Pei Ji nodded repeatedly; if it weren't for his mother's foresight, he probably would have choked to death.
Seeing that the little one had been munching on the biscuits for a long time and that there were still plenty left in his hands, Min Yueqing pushed the plate of dried meat and candied fruit toward him, saying, "Lele, if you can't chew the biscuits, then have some beef jerky and candied fruit instead."
Pei Ji wanted to answer, but his throat was choked by bits of dough, and he could only let out a hoarse and indistinct "Ow," which immediately made him blush.
Upon hearing this, Stone burst into laughter. However, he forgot that he also had an unfinished biscuit in his mouth, and after only two laughs, he choked and coughed repeatedly.
Before Pei Ji could even get angry, he couldn't help but laugh at Pei Ji's classic performance of shooting himself in the foot.

Min Yueqing stepped out of the carriage, surveyed the surrounding terrain, and roughly understood the area. This place was probably a favorite of the bandits.
The reason is simple: this terrain is perfect for highway robbery.
To the left was a steep cliff, and to the right was a dense forest; the only way they could pass was through this narrow mountain path.
If bandits were to emerge silently from the woods and attack from both sides, any passerby caught in the middle would have no way to hide or escape, and would immediately find themselves in a situation where they are utterly helpless.
The most desperate thing is that even if you have a lot of people, it's useless. The mountain road is so narrow that no matter how many people you have, you can't make any moves and you can only be defeated one by one.
