Chapter 249 Missing the caravan
He was even afraid of being discovered by them, so he deliberately disguised himself and gave away the cakes under other names.

She herself felt that it was quite inexplicable to follow the two of them like this, so she did not dare to reveal her identity, and she was also afraid of being discovered by the people in the Acropolis, and then notifying the Jiang family.

I'm afraid her father has discovered that she is missing now and is furious at the Chiang Mansion.

In the end, Lin Baoer asked clearly. Jiang Yuzhi brought her and a lot of money with him when he came out this time, and nothing else.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin Baoer stopped getting too close to Jiang Yuzhi after giving him motion sickness medicine, and just pretended that she happened to be on the same boat with them.

But although she couldn't avoid him, Jiang Yuzhi couldn't help but deliberately get closer.

During the meal, she deliberately came over and asked them if they wanted to eat roast chicken. This was given to her by another shipmate, but she brought it over without eating a bite.

Only then did Lin Baoer realize that Jiang Yuzhi seemed to mingle easily with the people around him and became familiar with him instantly.

But she still rejected Jiang Yuzhi, with the word "unfamiliar" written on her face.

Until one time, after staying on the ship for three days, they docked at a pier where everyone could temporarily go shopping for two hours. Lin Baoer, like a wild horse running wild, almost stomped back to the ship.

She not only ate the local delicacies in Heisei, but also bought a lot of snacks to use as snacks later.

But just as the ship was about to set off, she and Lin Zhishen discovered that Jiang Yuzhi had not yet boarded the ship.

When they got off the boat, Jiang Yuzhi wanted to go with them, but Lin Baoer found an excuse to fool her. He didn't see her again, and he didn't know where she went.

The ship docked at Yuye Lane, which is a smaller town and should not be Jiang Yuzhi's destination, so it is impossible for her to get off the ship here.

After thinking about it, Lin Baoer finally felt uneasy and went out to search with Lin Zhishen.

They wouldn't know it if they didn't look for it, but they were shocked when they looked for it. They found Jiang Yuzhi in a very remote place, unconscious and about to do something casual.

This made Lin Baoer so angry that he beat him up, stripped him naked and threw him into the Yamen, and then carried Jiang Yuzhi onto the boat.

Jiang Yu said afterwards that she just wanted to buy some food and fainted for some reason.

Seeing her confused look, Lin Baoer sighed deeply.

……

They stayed on the ship for a total of half a month, during which time they docked at the dock three times, each time only lasting about half a day, until they arrived at Huangsha City.

The closer you get to the border, the worse the air quality becomes. From time to time, yellow sand blows in the wind and blows on people's faces, causing pain.

Lin Baoer had no choice but to put on a mask, and even exchanged face cream and hand cream from the system store to apply them alternately.

Huangsha City is the largest town close to the border. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people living here and 50,000 elite troops are stationed here.

As long as you cross the mountains outside the city, you will be out of the Taiping Kingdom.

Because the Taiping Kingdom has been peaceful and peaceful for the past ten years, and wars are not frequent, the people at the border are not displaced like they were when she was a child, with corpses everywhere. At a glance, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the people are happy and peaceful.

This is also the scene that the Lin family wants to see the most.

As soon as they arrived in Huangsha City, Lin Baoer and Lin Zhishen immediately looked for the caravan crossing the desert, but the reality seemed to be not what they expected. The last caravan had already set off two days ago. If they had waited any longer, Have to wait until September.

"September?" Lin Baoer wailed, "So long?!"

Now in early May, they would have to wait at least four months in September!
Lin Zhishen's brows also frowned, feeling deeply helpless. Who told them to carry it like this? They didn't catch up with the caravan two days ago.

"Then what should we do now, Shen?" Lin Baoer squatted on the street, her face wrinkled, "Is it possible that we can only go on our own?"

She has no fear of crossing the desert alone. After all, she has the system in hand. Whether it is food, clothing, housing or transportation, she can barely use points to replace it. She is not very good at recognizing the road.

But now that she has Lin Zhishen, she has to be careful when using the system mall. She cannot expose it as a last resort, which makes her feel a little troublesome.

Moreover, she learned from Lin Zhishen's previous words that this desert was not as simple as she imagined. Without a caravan familiar with the road to lead the way, it would be very easy to get lost in it, and it would also be easy to encounter those irresistible natural disasters.

In the face of natural disasters, she couldn't guarantee that she could escape unscathed.

"No." Lin Zhishen shook his head, embarrassed, "Although I have walked through it a few times, I can't guarantee that we won't get lost."

"Ah..." Lin Baoer was disappointed.

Lin Zhishen thought for a while, "Don't worry, just wait and see. Sometimes some caravans are formed temporarily, or they spend a lot of money to form a caravan by themselves."

Lin Baoer's eyes lit up when she heard his words, "Can you spend your own money to rent a caravan?"

Lin Zhishen nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" Lin Baoer was excited.

Why would she be sad if she could spend her own money? The last thing she lacks is money, right?
Lin Zhishen seemed to have read through her thoughts and curled his lips, "One hundred taels of gold."

"One hundred taels...what?!" Lin Baoer woke up from her excitement and opened her mouth in shock, "One hundred taels...gold?"

"Go crazy!"

Why not grab it!
Seeing her expression changing rapidly, Lin Zhishen couldn't help laughing.

"This is the least expected, because caravans like this that cross the desert are mostly formed by people who lick blood on the tip of a knife. Not only do they need to know the way, but they also need to ensure everyone's safety."

"There are all kinds of wonders in the desert. You might lose your life just once if you travel there. That's why it's so expensive."

This is also the reason why the Taiping Kingdom has only established contact with the Jiang Kingdom in recent years. It is because of this desert that there are many obstacles between the two countries. Only those traveling merchants who are not afraid of death and want to make a fortune dare to communicate.

Ordinary people don't even dare to think about it.

"And the most important thing is that the caravans must trust each other. Basically, there are only a few caravans every year. That's why I didn't mention the money. Even if you have money, you can't come up with it in a short time."

Lin Baoer lowered his head like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"Why is it so complicated..."

"Of course." Lin Zhishen said helplessly, "Actually, the most expensive thing in a caravan is the person who knows the way. You can find thugs with a little effort, but a leader who can know all the dangers in the desert and avoid getting lost is very valuable. few."

"This is also why it is difficult to form a caravan."

"If we find someone who is not qualified, and if we are not careful, I am afraid that the whole team will be buried in that desert..."

In this way, Lin Baoer understood.

It is similar to modern tour guides, except that it is tourism and they are risking their lives.
