Chapter 291: On the Road
[It's impossible that he also survived by eating meat? If so... Ugh! No! I can't accept it! That's too disgusting!]
While thinking, Lin Baoer let go of her hand, looking a little uncomfortable.
Hearing the voice beside her ear, Lin Zhishen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.
"What are you thinking about, Baoer?" He turned around and approached, squatting in front of this person, looking at her without blinking, "Thinking about whether I ate dead human flesh?"
Lin Baoer looked away a little uncomfortably, hesitating and laughing, "No, no... I just..."
"I ate it." Lin Zhishen interrupted her, with an emotion in his eyes that Lin Baoer couldn't understand, "How can you survive without eating? But I didn't eat the dead, I ate... the living!"
His eyes were grim and his smile was cold, which scared Lin Baoer so much that her eyes widened.
Little Pink also poked his head out of Lin Baoer's arms warily, straightened his body and spat out his tongue warily at Lin Zhishen.
The cool wind with yellow sand blew on the two motionless people, making Lin Baoer shiver a little and his heart pounding.
After a long time, Lin Zhishen laughed softly and returned to his usual gentle appearance, "Okay, I'm just scaring you. I didn't eat. At that time, I relied on my perseverance to hold on for another day, and then I met that group of bandits. They had a lot of food."
Hearing this, Lin Baoer was a little embarrassed and angry and hit him with a hammer, her voice changed, "Do you know that scaring people can kill people!"
She thought she had misjudged Lin Zhishen. In fact, this man was a man-eating demon with a double appearance!
Lin Zhishen had an innocent expression and winked at her. "Eating human flesh is so disgusting. I would rather starve to death. Besides, it is said that people who eat human flesh will be boiled in oil after death. I don't want that."
Hearing his joking voice, Lin Baoer pouted and glared at him.
Xiaofen also seemed to look at Lin Zhishen. When she saw that the atmosphere between the two of them had returned to normal, she shrank back into Lin Baoer's arms and began to doze off.
"What are you talking about? So happy?" Jiang Yuzhi, who had just returned from Xiaosong, came over and asked curiously.
As soon as she saw her, the evil factor in Lin Baoer's heart came out, and she wanted to find another victim.
"Yuzhi, have you heard of..."
Looking at Lin Baoer's revengeful behavior, Lin Zhishen laughed and shook his head, and returned to his own resting place.
At this time, Yu Sheng had already told everyone about the departure tomorrow, and everyone was getting ready.
They planned that one person would carry Uncle Qiao on his back, and one would support Xiao Song. If necessary, they would carry both of them. The people chosen were Yin Qiang and Chang Jian, because these two people came from the military camp and were much stronger and more physically fit than the others.
After agreeing on this, everyone fell asleep.
At 1:00 a.m. the next day, everyone woke up one after another. Because the tents were blown away by the sandstorm before, they had been sleeping directly for the past few nights, using the sky as blankets and the ground as beds.
In this way, some people with weak constitutions were bound to catch a cold, but there was nothing they could do. Most of the blankets and quilts were given to Xiao Song and Uncle Qiao, two people with weak resistance, and the others could only do this.
Lin Baoer was no exception. She had nothing except the thick winter clothes on her body.
But she had
a hot water bottle and was not afraid of the cold at all, so she didn't worry about it. The temperature in the morning was still a little cool, but it was not as cold as it was late at night. Everyone could still accept it. After tidying up casually, everyone set off to move forward.
Yu Sheng led the way with a map, followed by Si Xu.
This time, Yin Qiang and Chang Jian carried people and walked in the middle, followed by Lin Baoer, Jiang Yuzhi and Lin Zhishen, and Wan Shun and Wang Zhong were at the end.
The food they picked earlier could be eaten for two days if they were frugal, but this was basically a temporary solution. Everyone was hungry, so Yu Sheng and Wang Zhong searched everywhere to see if they could find other edible food nearby.
It was almost noon and the temperature was rising. Everyone took off a lot of clothes because of the heat, especially Yin Qiang and Chang Jian, who were carrying a person on their backs. They were sweating profusely.
"Why don't you take a break?" Lin Baoer saw them like this and reminded them with a frown.
She was not a heartless person. Besides, they couldn't get out of the desert for a while, so they might as well take it slowly.
Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around, and nodded.
Si Xu ordered: "Rest!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put their things down on the spot.
There was no sand or stone to block them nearby, so they could only rest in the open air. They were directly exposed to the sun and everyone's faces were flushed with heat.
Lin Baoer was lucky, she could get some ice cubes and put them in her arms to cool down, but the others had no choice but to endure it.
But Lin Baoer had no choice. She had too many worries, so she could only take out a lot of Huo Qizheng fragrance liquid and told everyone to drink some.
As long as you don't get heatstroke, that's fine.
With the water evaporating like this, the water quickly bottomed out. The first ones to run out of water were Wan Shun and Wang Zhong, who were carrying their luggage.
Although they brought a lot of water, they couldn't withstand the sun beating down all day long, and the water would eventually run out. After drinking it all, it would be difficult to walk in this desert.
Si Xu took the lead and handed over his own water, "Drink mine."
He still had half a bottle of water left, so he couldn't hold it for long, but he could hold it for a while.
Wanshun and Wang Zhong were not polite. Gulu drank half of it in two gulps, and then returned it in a controlled manner.
In this situation, water is a precious source. If you drink more, you will lose a sip. You must drink sparingly.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, the group set out again.
After walking for about an hour, Yin Qiang and Chang Chang began to lose their strength.
Si Xu supported their crumbling bodies and frowned, "Let me do it."
Lin Zhishen also took the initiative to replace him with another person. After all, he and Si Xu Shang had nothing to do here, and it was impossible to let a lame person or carry a bunch of luggage carry another person.
After putting down the people behind them, Yin Qiang and Chang Chang quickly drank a large amount of water.
"I don't know when this bad weather will end!" Xiao Song cursed weakly.
His cheeks were also flushed, and he was so tired that he could hardly speak.
Although he was being carried on his back, the sun was shining directly on him, which made him feel uncomfortable.
At this time, he was a little envious of Uncle Qiao. It was better to faint than to be awake.
Jiang Yuzhi was also speechless and didn't even want to say anything.
Just as she raised her head to drink some water, her body suddenly paused, and her sharp eyes caught sight of a flash of green not far away. She was afraid that she had seen it wrong, so she rubbed her eyes and looked over.
The voice trembled, "Sister Baoer! Sister Baoer, look! What is that?!"
