Chapter 272: Cave Habitat
This pancake also needs to be baked over fire, otherwise it can't be eaten.
He immediately felt a little regretful.
He had always followed Lin Mobai in the army and fought in battles. Although he had experienced many bad weathers, he rarely crossed the entire desert like this. Moreover, when he heard that he was crossing the desert, he took it for granted that the desert was dry, so he didn't seal the dry food he brought with him, which led to the current dilemma.
Just as he was sitting cross-legged and sighing, there was a sudden movement outside the cave.
Others also looked over.
"Is it Master Lin and the others who are back?" Jiang Yuzhi poked his head out to look outside, and Lin Baoer also looked over, but in an instant her eyes were filled with smiles, "It's Xiaofen who is back."
When he heard it was Xiaofen, Jiang Yuzhi's poked head immediately retracted.
The next moment, as expected, the long snake with pink and green stripes emerged from the bushes dragging something.
"Chicken?" Uncle Qiao was the first to see what Xiaofen was holding in his mouth, and stood up in surprise.
At this time, everyone else also noticed it and was surprised.
"Xiaofen!" Lin Baoer was extremely happy and hurried over to greet him.
Xiaofen threw the pheasant on the ground, then slowly slid to Lin Baoer's leg, and then climbed up her leg to her arm, squinting at Lin Baoer with his snake eyes, his head held high, quite proud.
Lin Baoer understood what he meant, smiled softly, touched his head gently, and praised him generously, "Xiaofen is great, I'll give you some dried fish."
As she said that, she took out three dried fish from her bag and handed them to Xiaofen. Xiaofen also seemed very happy. She happily took the dried fish and crawled to the corner to eat it by herself.
"Miss, this... dried fish..." Si Xu was a little surprised.
Seeing that he found that the dried fish was not wet, Lin Baoer lied without changing her expression, "I wrapped it with oil paper just in case."
As she spoke, she revealed a small corner of the oil paper in the bundle, which contained the dried fish brought for Xiaofen.
Seeing this, Si Xu felt even more guilty.
Even his own princess knew to wrap food with oil paper, but he didn't know.
After finding that Si Xu didn't suspect anything, Lin Baoer breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't bring any dried fish wrapped in oil paper, but they were all what she had just redeemed from the system mall, and she was just afraid that Si Xu would get suspicious.
But it was much more convenient this way. She simply exchanged some more cakes and shared them with everyone. "There are still some cakes. I see your cakes are all wet. Eat some of these to fill your stomach."
Si Xu wanted to refuse. How could he take the food that the princess brought with great difficulty? But before he could open his mouth, Lin Baoer stuffed a piece of cake into his hand. "Take it. We don't know when they will come back. If we don't find dry firewood, we will probably have to eat this tonight." Seeing this
, Si Xu gave up and silently took the cake in his hand.
The others were also very embarrassed, but seeing that Si Xu accepted it, they also accepted it and kept thanking him.
Jiang Yuzhi was not shy at all. He took the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes lit up immediately. "Sister Baoer, the cake you brought is delicious! I have never tasted this flavor before! Where did you buy it?"
Hearing this, Lin Baoer looked down and didn't know that she had exchanged for the mooncake with pork filling. Her face was panicked for a moment, and then she coughed and evaded the question. She was vague, "I just bought it in Huangsha City. Maybe it's a new flavor."
Jiang Yuzhi had no doubts and ate the cake in her hand happily. She nodded, "I will buy it when I go back. It tastes so good."
Lin Baoer smiled embarrassedly.
When the others heard her say this, they also tasted it, and then they all had surprise in their eyes.
As rough men like them, they naturally seldom eat such delicate foods, and they did not think there was anything wrong, so they all tacitly agreed with Lin Baoer's statement.
But Si Xu did not eat it. He carefully wrapped the cake and put it in his arms, and then went to deal with the pheasant that Xiaofen brought back.
At this time, Lin Zhishen and his friends also came back with dry firewood, and unexpectedly brought back a wild rabbit.
"Then we have food tonight, both chicken and rabbit." Xiaosong smiled.
Wang Zhong took the initiative to deal with the ingredients with Si Xu, while the others hurried to make a fire.
Looking at the piles of dry firewood, Lin Baoer was not without surprise, "Where did you find so much dry firewood? Isn't it all wet from the rain outside?"
She asked Lin Zhishen.
As a result, Yin Qiang spoke first: "As expected of Uncle Zhong, he led us straight to those dead trees. Some of the buried places were not rained on, and there were dry firewood underneath. We spent a lot of time looking for it, and this firewood is enough for us to burn for a night."
His tone was very excited.
He, Chang Jian, and Xiao Song were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and compared to Wang Zhong, they were indeed old enough to be called uncles.
Only Si Xu looked about the same age as Lin Zhishen, and Yu Sheng was also older than them. The oldest were Wang Zhong and Uncle Qiao, both of whom were about thirty or forty years old.
With dry firewood, the fire was easily lit, and the warm flames soon soothed everyone, and they all quietly moved closer to the fire.
Thinking of the difference between men and women, Lin Zhishen and his team lit two fires, one near the inside of the cave and the other near the cave entrance, with a piece of cloth blocking the middle.
Because all of them were wet, they needed to dry themselves with the fire, and in such a simple environment, this was the only way.
Although there was a piece of cloth blocking them, Jiang Yuzhi still felt a little uncomfortable taking off her clothes in public. Her cheeks were slightly red and she was hesitant, and she kept looking in the direction of the group of men.
Lin Baoer understood her concerns. Even if she trusted them, she still needed to adapt to the physiological reaction, so she took off her outer shirt first and sat by the fire in only a small dress. "Don't worry, they won't come over."
The reason why she was really confident was that she believed in Lin Zhishen and Si Xu. One was a friend she had long trusted, and the other was someone sent by her second brother to protect her. Even if other people had bad intentions, they couldn't get past them.
Moreover, she could vaguely see the tall figure of Lin Zhishen through the cloth. He didn't go to deal with the ingredients together, but sat in the place closest to the cloth, with his back to them, blocking the view of everyone over there.
This made Lin Baoer feel very relieved.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi found that there was really nothing to be shy about. After a long period of psychological preparation, he still took off his clothes.
As soon as she took off her clothes, her exposed skin was immediately roasted by the warm fire, dry and warm, making her sigh unconsciously.
