I wonder how Ah Xu did in the preliminary examination, whether Ling'er's studies have improved, and whether Xiao Ran, that brat, is still as troublesome as ever.

I don't know what my second uncle and aunt have been busy with lately. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't feel so at ease going out.

She also missed her former comrades-in-arms.

Normally, when they camp outdoors, tents and military sleeping bags are commonplace.

This environment seemed familiar to her.

After traveling through time, her life became more colorful and more humane than before.

Since she transmigrated, she has wondered more than once which dynasty she had traveled to.

She had no recollection of either Dongjin, Xiqin, or Beiqi.

The ancient place names she visited all seemed out of place compared to Dongjin, where she was located.

She had only seen information about regional divisions in history books.

When asked about this abrupt change, Qiu Yan simply smiled and let it go.

The most abrupt thing was her inexplicable time travel.

However, the place names Tianzhu and Xiyu matched her impression of them.

Time travel is truly a magical thing...

Amidst the howling winds outside the tent and the snoring inside, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, exhausted from the past few days, finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu broke camp with the others.

Their weariness had dissipated.

Since we eat at their place and live there, it's only right that we lend a hand.

Qiu Yan's help was genuine, but Qin Susu...

She was making things worse by trying to help pack up the tent.

Fortunately, the men and women here are very kind, and they don't complain even if things go wrong.

Of course, even if they spoke, Qiu Yan and the other person wouldn't understand.

After they finished packing, the Indians mounted their camels one by one.

Qiu Yan and the other two boarded their horses.

Horses in the desert are no match for camels.

It can't compare to drought resistance, nor can it compare to walking ability.

Otherwise, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu would have crossed this desert long ago.

Without exception, the two of them were left behind.

After counting, there were thirty people in this line.

Including Qiu Yan and Qin Susu, there were a total of five women.

Apart from Vera, the other twenty-odd men all looked like warriors.

Qiu Yan wondered if the missionary was accompanied by bodyguards?

Vera could tell at a glance that he was a monk who couldn't even kill a chicken.

Without protection, it is very difficult to travel.

After walking for a while,

To make it easier for the two of them to keep up, Ap specially set aside a camel for Qiu Yan and Qin Susu.

She and the woman in her thirties squeezed together on a camel.

Qiu Yan and Qin Susu were naturally grateful.

The horse was able to slow down, and Qiu Yan and Qin Susu climbed onto the camel's back one after the other.

“What a wonderful thing, Xiaoyan! I never thought that I, Qin Susu, would have the honor of riding a camel in this lifetime. When I get back, I will definitely show it off to my mother.”

"What's so great about that?" Qiu Yan chuckled. It's just riding a camel, right? Can't they show off their horses?

Uh... after spending so much time with Qin Susu, she's become childish too.

We chatted like that until it was almost noon.

At noon, the sun was blazing.

Qiu Yan and Qin Susu shielded their eyes from the high sun with their hands, but it was still hot.

Vera flipped down her robe, exposing her right shoulder, her tanned skin glowing healthily in the sunlight.

This area is mostly desert and Gobi, with huge temperature differences.

Wearing this kind of clothing in the morning and evening, and showing off your shoulders at midday, is perfect for the weather here.

Vera turned around and found Qiu Yan looking at her, so she shifted her gaze.
