Chapter 313: Taking a Detour
"There's still soup!" Wang Zhong brought a pot of soup and placed it in front of everyone.
This was a big pot of stew with several pieces of chicken and vegetables. Not only that, everyone also had a roasted sweet potato, which could make everyone full.
"I haven't used this pot much since I entered the desert. This is the first time." Wang Zhong smiled helplessly.
It felt like the kitchen utensils he brought were about to turn into broken copper and rotten iron.
"It's okay as long as it's useful, who cares!" Xiaosong quickly served a bowl, but did not eat it himself. Instead, he first handed it to Lin Baoer and blinked, "Princess, if it's not enough, tell us again."
Lin Baoer responded with a smile.
In this place, people have to face life and death every day, and status is the least important thing.
Then Xiaosong quietly poured a bowl for Jiang Yuzhi, and Si Xu poured a bowl for Lin Zhishen. Finally, the remaining food in the pot was divided among them.
After a full meal, the sky was slightly brighter.
"Princess, are we going to continue on our journey now?" Yu Sheng asked.
Since Lin Baoer revealed her identity, she has been in charge of almost all the decisions, big and small, in the team, and others did not think there was anything wrong with it.
Lin Baoer glanced at the tired people and shook her head, "Let's rest for an hour first."
They had been traveling all night and were already exhausted. If they continued to travel, it would be counterproductive. They had to take a rest while it was cool. After
receiving the order, most people fell asleep almost instantly, and snoring sounded immediately.
Lin Baoer had been familiar with this sound for some time and did not find it noisy. She found a place to lie down and fell asleep immediately.
An hour later, everyone continued on their way.
Because they were taking another unknown route and had no idea whether it was dangerous, everyone walked very slowly. Basically, they would ask Si Xu to explore the way every time they advanced a certain distance.
But after another day of traveling, Yu Sheng's brows furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Si Xu approached him and wiped the sweat off his face.
Even though it rained last night, it was still so hot.
"It feels like there's something wrong with the road." Yu Sheng was a little hesitant and anxious.
If he took the wrong road, they would have to spend a lot of energy to get out of this desert, and what would happen then was unimaginable to everyone.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Si Xu also realized something and said in a deep voice: "Lost?"
Yu Sheng was a little embarrassed and hesitant, "It shouldn't be, I remember there is a sandy area here, after passing through the sandy area we can get back on track, and we can get out of the desert in a few days."
But they have been walking for so long and haven't encountered that sandy area, so he began to guess whether he had taken the wrong path.
Seeing that they stopped there for a long time, Lin Baoer also felt something was wrong and walked over, "What's wrong?"
Si Xu repeated Yu Sheng's original words to her.
Lin Baoer was not as panicked as Yu Sheng and Si Xu. She looked around and comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, our food can still last for a long time. Maybe it's almost there. It's just because we walked slowly that we didn't touch it. Just take your time."
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he found that she didn't scold him. He looked at Lin Baoer with gratitude.
With her as a stabilizing force, Si Xu calmed down for a while. "Let's take a rest first. After all, we can't go out for the next one or two days. Don't tire everyone out."
In order to catch up, they basically walked from morning to night these two days, and many people had blisters on their feet.
"Yeah." Lin Baoer nodded.
After returning to Jiang Yuzhi, Lin Baoer exchanged a bottle of medicine from the system mall and handed it over, "You take it, I'll do it."
She took the needle from Jiang Yuzhi's hand, carefully pricked the blisters on her feet, and then applied the medicine to her.
Jiang Yuzhi was in pain the whole time when applying the medicine.
"Sister Baoer, what's the end of this! I feel like my legs are going to be useless!" She wailed. She
didn't feel this painful when she was learning martial arts.
"Why, do you regret it?" Lin Baoer looked at her.
"No!" Jiang Yuzhi retorted, with a guilty look in his eyes, stiffening his neck and not wanting to look at her, muttering softly, "I don't regret it..."
Lin Baoer laughed when she heard it, and after wrapping her up, she handed over the cut watermelon, "Eat some watermelon to quench your thirst, don't worry, you won't be gone for long."
Although she said this, she was actually unsure in her heart, but if she didn't say this, the morale of the army would be shaken.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhi finally calmed down.
Since her ability to take out all kinds of things became an unspoken secret in everyone's hearts, she often exchanged things for others, sometimes watermelons to quench thirst, sometimes necessary medicines, and some necessities. As for other things, she would save as much as possible, after all, her points were not endless, and there would be a day when they would be spent.
Thinking of this long march-like road, even Lin Baoer was depressed.
To be honest, she felt a little regretful if Jiang Yuzhi didn't regret it.
Alas.
"Uncle Zhong, have you washed your hands?"
"Yes!"
"Then why is there still a smell?" "
Why can't I smell it?"
"Come here and ask..."
"Wow! It stinks!"
"You stinky boy, you're not much better, who doesn't stink here?!"
...
Listening to the conversation over there, Lin Baoer's face froze, raised her arm and smelled herself, and then frowned.
They have been in this desert for too long, facing the loess and back to the sky, and every day they are either rushing or fleeing. Sweat, yellow sand, blood and all kinds of things have accumulated on their bodies. Over time, the smell can't be dissipated.
If they don't get out, it is estimated that the smell on their bodies can suffocate a cow to death.
"Commander-in-chief, let me smell you to see if you have any smell." Xiao Song fearlessly approached Si Xu and put his nose close to him. As a result, Si Xu slapped him in the face with an expressionless face. Xiao Song could no longer bear it and said, "Get lost."
Xiaosong touched his head aggrievedly, which attracted the ridicule of Yin Qiang and Chang Jian.
"But if we don't wash it, we will soon be pickled..." Yu Sheng was also very troubled.
It's not that there are no puddles in the desert, but the probability is very small, and he dare not hope for it.
Suddenly, Xiaosong shouted again, "Mr. Lin, why don't you smell?!"
Everyone looked at Lin Zhishen, who was dressed in white.
They rushed so far and his white clothes were also dirty. He was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, and Xiaosong was sniffing him like a pervert.
After a while, perhaps Lin Zhishen couldn't stand his behavior anymore, so he pushed him away and explained helplessly, "When I was at Xiaoshan's place... I took a bath."
When he said the last few words, the veins on his forehead jumped.
