Chapter 290 Being Frightened
Hearing this, Lin Baoer glanced at Lin Zhishen and nodded.
After Si Xu left, Lin Baoer did not go to Lin Zhishen to lobby as she had promised. She always felt that even if she didn't tell that person, he would definitely not tell anyone.
After resting for a while, the sand scallions and sand dates were distributed to everyone. Unfortunately, Lin Baoer was not used to eating it, so she gave her share to others. Not only that, Jiang Yuzhi also gave his share to others.
After another day of rest, Xiaosong's injury healed a lot, and he was able to move with difficulty, which surprised everyone.
There was another surprise, that is, Uncle Qiao woke up.
"Uncle Qiao? Uncle Qiao!" Chang Jian was guarding beside him and called carefully.
The unconscious man moved his fingers, and then opened his eyes under the expectant gaze of everyone.
At first he was still a little confused, and then he was terrified and panicked.
"That wind...!" His voice was a little hoarse, and his expression was dazed. Seeing him like this, Yu Sheng rushed over, held his hand and said, "Don't worry! We are all safe!"
After hearing his words, Uncle Qiao calmed down and looked at everyone. After everyone's faces appeared in his eyes, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he paralyzed again.
As soon as he relaxed, he felt his headache was abnormal, and he covered his head in pain.
"What's wrong?" Si Xu was concerned. "Uncle Qiao, besides your head, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"
Uncle Qiao wanted to shake his head to show that he didn't, but he felt an abnormal headache when he moved, so he could only reply hoarsely, "No."
Others wanted to ask something, but they were all blocked. "Let Uncle Qiao rest first."
He had just woken up, so it was not the right time to ask questions.
"How is it?" Lin Zhishen crossed his arms and spoke indifferently.
Lin Baoer looked at Uncle Qiao's condition. "It's good that he can wake up. I'm afraid his injury is the same as Xiaosong's, and he needs a few days to recover."
Everyone around her heard her words, but the previous surprise was no longer flowing out.
A few more days of recovery means that they will have to stay here for a few more days, and the danger is not small.
The crowd stopped surrounding Uncle Qiao and went back to their seats.
Si Xu and Yu Sheng also looked worried.
In the evening, Yu Sheng suddenly came over.
"Princess." He whispered.
Lin Baoer was a little surprised, touched the little pink snake head, raised her chin to signal him to speak.
Yu Sheng was worried, brushed the yellow sand under his feet, frowned, "We can't stay here."
"Why?" Lin Baoer asked.
In her opinion, these people should have wanted to wait for Uncle Qiao and Xiao Song to get better before setting off.
"You don't know, in this desert, any danger is unexpected, but for natural dangers like sandstorms, there is a 50% chance that it will come back to the places it has been before. We have stayed here for too long, and I am afraid that something unexpected will happen later..."
What he meant was that if they stayed here for a few more days, the sandstorm might come again, and then they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
Lin Zhishen also came over at this time. Hearing this, he looked at her quietly, then looked at Yu Sheng, and parted his lips, "Then where is the next shelter?"
Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at him, thinking, "If nothing unexpected happens, it's twenty miles away."
In fact, twenty miles is not far. If they follow their normal speed, they will arrive in more than a day. But if they are carrying two people with limited mobility... it's hard to say.
After thinking for a while, Lin Baoer decided, "Let's set off early tomorrow morning."
Life is much more important than sequelae. If they are so unlucky and encounter a sandstorm again, only a few will survive, and Xiaosong and Uncle Qiao have no chance of surviving. The consequences are unpredictable.
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said that he would tell others about this.
As soon as he left, Lin Zhishen sat next to Lin Baoer and stretched out his fingers to tease Xiaofen.
The two were silent for a while. Lin Zhishen raised his eyebrows and looked at the uncomfortable man, chuckling, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Lin Baoer was startled by his sudden voice and almost stuttered, "Words? What can I say to you..."
Lin Zhishen smiled and said nothing. He did not expose her panic and changed to another thing. "Do you remember the sand bandits that Yu Sheng mentioned before?"
"Huh?" Lin Baoer didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this. After thinking about it, she nodded, "Master Yu mentioned it. They are evil."
Lin Zhishen didn't know whether to reply or not, and continued, "I met them once when I was traveling in the desert before. They..."
He paused, as if recalling, "love beautiful women very much."
Lin Baoer was stunned, "???"
Why did the topic suddenly change to this? ? !
Seeing Lin Baoer's stunned expression, Lin Zhishen curled his lips, "I'm not talking nonsense. There are at least twenty people in their group, but each of them is a good fighter, and they have been living in the desert and never go out, so they are very clear about the various dangers of the desert."
"At that time, they usually made a living by robbing caravans, seizing supplies, occupying women, and killing countless people. It is estimated that half of the caravans that died in the desert were killed by them."
Lin Zhishen relaxed his body and half leaned on the sand and rocks behind him. "When we met them, there were only more than ten people, but it was these more than ten people who killed all twenty people in our caravan."
"Of course, those who resisted were all killed, and those who did not resist were taken away to be coolies. The women became captives, and after they were used up, they would also become their dead souls."
"Evil is just an objective description of them." Lin Zhishen glanced at Lin Baoer and lowered his voice suddenly, "Killing people without hesitation, cold-blooded and ruthless is their nature."
Lin Baoer swallowed and shrank her neck, "Why are you telling me this? They are not here to scare me in the middle of the night, are they?"
Lin Zhishen smiled softly, hooked the tip of Xiaofen's tail with his fingertips, and shook his head, "Just to remind you, the last time I met this group of bandits was on the seventh day of entering the desert."
If they set off tomorrow, it would also be the seventh day of entering the desert.
"I want you to be mentally prepared."
After saying this, Lin Zhishen was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Baoer.
Lin Zhishen lowered his eyes to look at the cuffs that she was holding, his eyes dim, "What's wrong?"
Lin Bao'er hadn't noticed anything wrong with his expression, so she asked tentatively, "Then how did you survive the thing you mentioned before about sharing and eating?" The
fact that he was here proved that he survived, but if he also survived by eating human flesh...
Lin Bao'er shivered suddenly, and suddenly felt a chill.
