Chapter 253: The Leader
Lin Baoer's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that Jiang Yuzhi asked them to come today because of this matter.
Lin Zhishen's expression was also subtle for a moment.
They couldn't find other caravans for a long time, and they had already started to spend money to rebuild one. It was not easy to rebuild a caravan. Apart from finding people, there were very few people who were familiar with the desert terrain.
Those who were not proficient in the selection would be digging their own graves, and those who were proficient in the terrain had already been dug up by the business company, and it was not their turn at all.
They did go to the business company to ask, but the reply from the business company was that all the leaders who were familiar with the desert terrain had been inserted into various caravans, and there were really no others.
Either they would go into the desert alone, or they could only wait, waiting for the previous batch of caravans to return.
But how could they wait so long?
Some people discovered their purpose and came here pretending to be someone else, but they were all exposed and driven away by Lin Zhishen.
After all, Lin Zhishen had crossed the desert several times. Although he was not very familiar with the terrain, he still remembered many of the landmarks clearly. With just a few questions, he made those people speechless and broke their lies.
Just when they were at a loss, Jiang Yuzhi suddenly brought them this news, which surprised them and made them wonder if this person was also deliberately using a disguise to cheat money?
In just a moment, Lin Baoer understood a lot. She hesitated for a while and asked carefully: "Ms. Jiang, are you sure? What if..."
She saw that the man looked thin and didn't look like he could cross the dangerous desert. Moreover, he was limping. Although she didn't discriminate, but with an injury in his foot, it would be difficult for him to cross the desert, right?
Thinking that she didn't believe it, Jiang Yuzhi was a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Lin, don't worry, he is definitely not a liar! Before I found him, I went to verify that he was indeed the leader of a caravan. But unfortunately, during a certain operation, they had an accident. Only three people survived out of more than ten people. He was one of them. His foot was injured at that time. Since then, he took the initiative to withdraw from the caravan and stayed away from sight."
Lin Baoer: "..."
Hearing this, you will be more worried, okay?
Jiang Yuzhi hesitated, "I have been to many places in the past two days, and I only found him. It cost him a lot of money to agree to meet me."
Hearing this, Lin Baoer's expression softened and she sighed lightly.
After all, Jiang Yuzhi was like this because of them...
"Don't jump to conclusions, ask first." Lin Zhishen murmured.
Lin Baoer nodded.
At this time, the man also walked out of the inner room. I don't know if he heard what they said.
"Just ask whatever you want to ask. A quarter of an hour." He looked a little impatient and expressionless, as if he was forced to do so.
Lin Baoer frowned at his attitude, but she could only suppress her displeasure and said seriously, "Mr. Yu, Yuzhi said just now that you used to be a caravan and are familiar with all the terrains of the desert?"
This was the first time he heard his name from Lin Baoer's mouth. It seemed very intimate, which made Jiang Yuzhi very stunned.
From Lin Baoer's perspective, she just didn't want to expose their unfamiliar relationship with Jiang Yuzhi in front of outsiders, so as to avoid people taking advantage of the situation and doing something bad.
From Jiang Yuzhi, they learned that the man's name was Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng didn't even raise his eyes, and said "hmm", which was considered to be an affirmation of her question.
"I heard that the reason you left the caravan was because of an accident. Only three people came back from the desert alive. What happened?"
Yu Sheng pulled his lips sarcastically, and finally raised his eyes to look at Lin Baoer, and said sarcastically, "Are you here to dig up my past?"
Lin Zhishen frowned, didn't say much, just threw a bag of money on the table.
This money bag is heavy, at least fifty taels of silver.
Seeing the money bag, Yu Sheng's pupils shrank, and then he put the money bag into his arms and said seriously, "I will tell you everything I know."
Later, when Lin Baoer asked them vigorously, they learned the truth about Yu Sheng's leaving the caravan.
Yu Sheng has a younger sister named Yu Huai. Unfortunately, Yu Huai was born with a weak constitution and could only survive with medicine. But their parents died early, so the burden fell on Yu Sheng's shoulders.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng grew up in Huangsha City since he was a child, and because of his parents, he once went to the desert. Later, because Yu Huai was sick and needed a lot of money, he decided to take a crooked path.
Before the two countries were connected, there were many traveling merchants and foreign merchants traveling to Huangsha City. However, because of the desert, every time the merchants traveled, they suffered heavy casualties, some died and some were injured. Therefore, there were many doctors and clinics in Huangsha City because of this phenomenon.
Yu Sheng found a way to make money from it. With a passion, he went deep into the desert alone several times. With his desperate impulse, he drew a map of the desert roads and memorized it in his mind.
Since then, whenever someone wanted to cross the desert, he would recommend himself and let people pay him. Over time, his name became known to several surrounding cities. Instead, traveling merchants who wanted to cross the desert would look for him by name.
He also made a lot of money and used it to treat his sick sister.
Later, the two countries became friends, and more and more people traveled between the two countries. Many people were jealous of this job, so they followed Yu Sheng's approach and became guides after getting familiar with the desert.
This way of making money requires a strong life. If you are not, you may lose your life when crossing the desert one day.
So this is why even if a complete business is established now, there are few leaders.
Just when Yu Sheng was doing well, three years ago, his sister's condition suddenly worsened and she spent money like water. The family savings were about to be spent. Yu Sheng had no choice but to continue to take the job of crossing the desert day and night.
And the accident happened at that time.
Their group of fifteen people was formed by a rich young man. Because the rich young man wanted to visit other countries, he asked Yu Sheng to be the leader.
At first, everything was fine. Yu Sheng repeatedly avoided dangerous areas with his experience. Just as he was about to leave the desert, he suddenly encountered a group of bandits.
In the past, he only needed money to eliminate the disaster, but this time, for some reason, the rich young man seemed to be possessed and refused to give money. He also let his thugs fight the bandits to the death.
During the fight, a sandstorm suddenly hit. He shouted to run, but it was too late. The sandstorm quickly swept everyone, including him.
When he woke up, he found that one of his legs was bleeding, and the others had disappeared.
