Chapter 277 Rest and Recruitment

The crisis was resolved, and everyone relaxed.

"Sister Baoer, I was so scared, but fortunately nothing happened." Jiang Yuzhi sat on the ground, shook off the sand on his body, and shook his hair. "At first, I was scared to death when I heard Master Yu talk about the sandstorm. He said that the wind was so strong that it could blow people away. Can sand scratch the skin? Do you think it's scary? What kind of wind can blow people away? And this sand can actually scratch people. It's incredible."

Jiang Yuzhi didn't know, but Lin Baoer knew very well. These natural dangers are not something that humans can contend with, just like those natural disasters, droughts, and plagues, how can human power stop them?

However, the gradually decreasing wind and sand also made her feel relieved. As long as it was not a real sandstorm, she would have to consider how to protect herself.

"You don't understand the power of nature." She looked into the distance, her tone was ethereal, "Not only the wind and sand, sometimes even some insignificant things can easily kill people."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi just nodded ignorantly and didn't bother about this problem anymore.

What followed the night was not only the sudden drop in temperature, but also countless mosquitoes.

"Pah!"

Jiang Yuzhi silently slapped the back of her hand, mercilessly, and the area turned red.

At the same time, there was a small insect corpse in her palm.

She cried and scratched the bitten skin vigorously, "It's so itchy! What are these?! No matter how hard I smoke it, it won't go away!!"

They brought some mosquito repellent bags, but it seemed to be useless. Those insects that didn't look like mosquitoes still kept crawling on people's bodies and biting them hard from time to time. The wounds were not only red and swollen, but also itchy, which made everyone very annoyed.

Lin Zhishen took a box of ointment and handed it to Jiang Yuzhi, "Wipe this."

Jiang Yuzhi quickly took it and applied some ointment on the wound. The temporary coolness relieved the itching and pain, making her expression much more relaxed.

"Are you okay?" Lin Zhishen looked at Lin Baoer.

Lin Baoer shook her head and showed her hands. They were clean and without any wounds.

This was all thanks to Xiaofen. Whenever something came close to her, Xiaofen would eat it, just like a frog eating mosquitoes. There was no insect in her sight.

Seeing that Xiaofen was enjoying the food and had no symptoms of discomfort, she did not stop it and just let it eat as a snack.

Lin Zhishen was obviously also very surprised. He smiled softly with envy in his eyes.

Lin Baoer noticed with her sharp eyes that there were many more wounds on his hands, and there were traces of ointment on them. Obviously, he had been bitten a lot.

She raised her eyebrows and twitched the little pink snake head, "How about I lend you the little pink?"

Lin Zhishen raised her eyebrows and was about to agree when Jiang Yuzhi intervened. She rushed over directly, looked at Lin Baoer pitifully, and begged, "Sister Baoer! Sister Baoer! Lend me the little pink! I can't stand it! This thing is so itchy!"

Not long after the ointment was applied, the wound started to itch again. She could only endure it, but how could Jiang Yuzhi, a rich lady who had never experienced this, endure it? It was

okay for her to endure the pain, but enduring the itching would almost cost her half her life!

Seeing her like this, Lin Baoer couldn't help laughing. She blinked at Lin Zhishen, as if hesitating, "Then..."

Lin Zhishen was the first to speak sensibly, "Give it to her first."

Jiang Yuzhi smiled gratefully at him.

Seeing this, Lin Baoer handed the little pink to her directly.

Jiang Yuzhi, who was originally afraid of snakes, was a little afraid to take it. Looking at the slippery pink and white creature without legs, she swallowed her saliva and her body was a little stiff.

Especially when she looked into the eyes of the pair of vertical pupils, she was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

"Baoer, Sister Baoer... I, I, you... it, it..." She stammered, looking panicked, and didn't dare to take it at all.

Lin Baoer saw it and tilted her head, "Then I'll put it next to you?"

Jiang Yuzhi nodded quickly.

But when Lin Baoer put Xiaofen next to Jiang Yuzhi, Xiaofen quickly crawled back, as if she didn't want to stay by Jiang Yuzhi's side.

Jiang Yuzhi: "..."

Lin Baoer: "..."

Lin Baoer smiled awkwardly and let Xiaofen go again.

The result was still that Xiaofen could not be kept.

Jiang Yuzhi felt like crying, "Then what should I do?"

Lin Baoer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and had an expression that said I had no idea what to do, which made Jiang Yuzhi feel particularly aggrieved. He ran to the corner and picked up the mosquito repellent bags and placed them around his feet, feeling angry.

Lin Baoer touched her nose embarrassedly, and nodded Xiaofen's head helplessly, "You, you, what are you doing!"

Xiaofen spit out his tongue at her and tilted his head, seeming to be particularly arrogant.

Seeing all this, Lin Zhishen smiled softly, and simply squatted down and touched Xiaofen's tail, saying gently, "Since you don't want to go to her, then are you willing to come to me?"

Lin Baoer was a little surprised, looked at him, then looked at Xiaofen, and immediately became curious.

In fact, she also understood Xiaofen's temper. It didn't like to get close to unfamiliar people, so under normal circumstances, she would not force Xiaofen to do things it didn't like. It's

just that he thought Lin Zhishen would give up, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to come over and ask again.

He seemed to know that Xiaofen could understand human language, and after he finished speaking, he just looked at it quietly, without urging it, nor asking Lin Baoer if it understood.

After a while, Xiaofen slowly climbed from Lin Baoer to Lin Zhishen's hand, and then followed his fingers and wrapped around his arm.

"It seems to like you." Lin Baoer smiled.

Lin Zhishen curled his lips and sat down beside her under her puzzled gaze.

"You will suffer if I take it away." He explained.

Lin Baoer suddenly realized and her cheeks blushed.

She thought...

"Are you regretting it?" Lin Zhishen played with the little pink snake body and kept touching it. The cool touch was actually very pleasant.

Lin Baoer stretched and shook her head, "How could that be? The unknown is what I look forward to the most. If I live day after day in a place where I can see the end at a glance, this kind of thrilling life is what I yearn for."

If it was her in the past, she probably wouldn't have this idea, but she is different now. With the system mall in hand, she has the ability to protect herself no matter what danger she encounters. It's not like in modern times, when she has to worry about her own safety and the security of the destination when she goes on a long journey.

What's more, her identity is enough for her to travel all over the world, which is impossible in modern times.

She doesn't want to live in the capital all her life. There are so many fun places in the world. Since she is here, why not go around and see them?
