Chapter 289 A secret known to everyone
I thought he would die here today, but he would save his life.
Lin Zhishen was also fiddling with the rope in his hand, but he didn't say anything.
Looking at this, Lin Baoer was a little unsure what they were thinking, but since they didn't ask, she naturally wouldn't bring it up.
"It's getting late. If we don't go back, Yuzhi and the others will probably be worried." She reminded.
Si Xu nodded, "But since we're here, let's pick the date."
He looked at the date trees that looked like dead trees. The golden fruits on them were particularly tempting, so they didn't want to give up this easy food.
Lin Zhishen walked over first.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer hurriedly shouted, "Pay attention to whether there is quicksand around!"
To avoid falling into it again, it would be disastrous.
Lin Zhishen nodded and moved more cautiously.
Si Xu followed, and Yu Sheng also went over after adjusting his mood.
There are four date trees in total, and there are about dozens of fruits on each tree. Unfortunately, most of them are rotten, and only a dozen of them look good. But together, there are fifty or sixty fruits, which are enough for them to eat.
After putting all the dates into the bag, they can return the same way.
On the way, Yu Sheng seemed to hesitate to say something, but he was stopped by Si Xu every time, so he didn't speak again.
It took about another hour for the four of them to return to the sand and rocks where Jiang Yuzhi and the others were.
Seeing them coming back from afar, Jiang Yuzhi could hardly hide the smile on her face, and ran over to greet them, "Sister Baoer!"
"You are finally back! We were all worried about you." Jiang Yuzhi came to Lin Baoer's side, her face full of worry.
They had been away for so long and came back later than expected. She and the others were wondering if they had encountered danger or were tripped by something, otherwise why would they not come back for so long.
But fortunately, they finally returned safely.
Lin Baoer smiled and patted her hands, showing her the fruits in her arms, "Look, what we brought back."
Looking at the yellow fruits in her arms, Jiang Yuzhi's eyes burst into surprise, covering her mouth, "You really found something to eat?!"
It would be a lie to say that she was not happy with such tempting fruits.
Several other people also gathered around, and they were very happy when they found that they brought back food. After
Si Xu distributed the dates and scallions he brought to everyone, he went straight to Xiaosong and Uncle Qiao.
Lin Baoer hesitated for a moment, walked to the place where her luggage was placed, pretended to search, and then exchanged some compressed biscuits from the system mall.
Originally, she wanted to go out and exchange some fruit to pretend that she found it outside, but after finding the sand dates, she forgot about it. Now that she is back, she decided to get some compressed dried biscuits. This stuff is filling and more useful than any other food, and it is easy to find an excuse.
"These are the food I brought for Xiaofen. Although it is for it, the food inside is processed with normal food. People can eat it, but the taste is not very good." She handed a handful of compressed dried biscuits to Jiang Yuzhi, and then distributed it to others.
"Didn't Xiaofen eat that dried fish before?" Jiang Yuzhi was puzzled.
She saw Lin Baoer feeding Xiaofen before, and asked curiously.
Lin Baoer lied calmly, "I brought this for him, but he didn't like it, so I just left it there. The food we found outside is only enough for one or two meals. Although this thing doesn't taste good, it can fill my stomach, which is better than nothing."
Everyone suddenly realized and thanked him.
"Thank you, Miss Lin..."
"Thank you, Miss Lin..."
In their opinion, Lin Baoer's taking out all the food for her pet proved her bodhisattva heart, and made everyone unable to thank her.
"But what about Xiaofen if we give these to us? What will she eat?" Jiang Yuzhi was still worried that Xiaofen would have nothing to eat.
Lin Baoer glanced at Xiaofen lying on the ground, her eyes smiling, "There are still a lot of dried fish, enough for it to eat. At worst, it can catch insects to eat."
Yes, Xiaofen can catch insects to eat by itself, but they can't eat insects. In this comparison, they are indeed more miserable.
In this way, Jiang Yuzhi put the compressed biscuits away like a treasure.
In this situation, the food is eaten one bite at a time, and the less you can eat, the less you can eat. In case there is really nothing to eat in the future, then this little food will save your life.
Others also understand this truth, so they don't plan to eat the compressed biscuits given by Lin Baoer now, but put them away.
Lin Baoer didn't exchange too many things to attract attention. She only gave one pack to each person. However, this pack was as big as her two palms. She didn't know if it would arouse suspicion.
She looked at Lin Zhishen and found that Lin Zhishen had been playing with the pack of compressed biscuits, looking at it with his eyes downcast.
"Ah..." She opened her mouth to call him, but halfway through, she felt it was inappropriate, so she simply closed her mouth and planned to ignore it.
Suspicion is fine, as long as she doesn't admit it.
But just after eating, Si Xu took the initiative to come over.
"Princess, I have already told Yu Sheng." He said respectfully.
Lin Baoer understood what he was talking about, and was a little surprised.
She didn't expect Si Xu to be so capable. He did all this before she even told him anything.
So she became interested and asked him, "Aren't you curious?"
Si Xu glanced at her and lowered his head again, "I won't be curious about what the princess doesn't want to tell me, and I promise that this matter will not be spread."
"But..." He paused and looked at Lin Zhishen, "As for Mr. Lin, I'm afraid the princess will have to lobby him personally."
Lin Zhishen has always been by Lin Baoer's side, and even he is not sure what the relationship between the two is. Lin Mobai didn't mention his identity before, so Si Xu just thought that he was of the same status as Lin Baoer, and didn't investigate further.
But now, he can't lobby Lin Zhishen about this matter, so Lin Baoer can only do it herself.
From the moment Lin Baoer took out the medicine, Si Xu had already sensed that their princess might have a shocking secret. If it was exposed, even his life would be in danger.
So it wasn't that he didn't want to know, but that he couldn't know. He just had to do his duty as a subordinate, send Lin Baoer out of the desert safely, keep the secret to himself, and finally return to Lin Mobai, and everything would be fine.
In the final analysis, he didn't really want to know, because some secrets were destined to be bloody.
