Chapter 144: The Guide
Inside Oasis City.
Lu Yunchu hugged the piglet and went to buy the food and water in the list first.
"Buy high-calorie, well, preferably salty. "The little pig is in command in his arms, and it is conceivable that there will be no such food as compressed biscuits in the Marfa continent.
"What is high calorie?" Lu Yunchu didn't understand.
"Uh...... It's easy to be full after eating, and you can quickly recover your strength......" Little Pig felt that communication was so difficult.
Under the command of Little Pig, Lu Yunchu's original small burden has now turned into a bulging package nearly half a person high. Except for the two huge water bladders that Shi Cai bought, the rest were almost all eaten.
I don't know how many days it will take to go to the desert, the little pig loves to eat so much, he doesn't prepare more food, he is worried that he will starve the little pig.
Luckily, most of the shops in the city sold snacks with all kinds of jerky, and the shopkeepers told him that anyone who went into the desert should have more jerky. This is in line with the requirements of the piglets, easy to be full, quick to recover physical strength, and salty......
It's just that the little pig resolutely refuses to buy all the jerky related to pigs...... It is understandable that pigs eating pork will definitely have a psychological shadow!
Walking around, Lu Yunchu was keenly aware that someone was following them.
Looking back, Mei Shui was walking unhurriedly a few steps away, her usual sneer still on her dark face.
Seeing Lu Yunchu looking back at him, Mei Shui didn't dodge and walked straight towards them.
Lu Yunchu was startled, this plum water walked towards him, didn't he want to bump into it again like last time? I don't know what "ancestral treasure" he is carrying today?
The little pig is also strange, if the plum water touches the porcelain again, it will be too boring...... They have already gone to divination, and the questions they should ask have been asked, what else do they want?
Mei Shui slowly walked closer, saw Lu Yunchu looking at him with a wary face, stopped, and almost hummed at Lu Yunchu: "Don't worry, I didn't bring a family heirloom baby today!"
One person and one pig breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Yunchu ignored him, looked at a cloth shop on the side of the road, and prepared to go inside to buy some silk handkerchiefs to prevent wind and sand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out, Mei Shui had already taken the first step to block his way.
Lu Yunchu was on guard again, and asked coldly, "What does Your Excellency mean?"
Mei Shui looked playfully at the package he was carrying on his shoulder, and then said: "Master Lu, if you bring such a package into the desert, I'm afraid that after a sandstorm, you won't even be able to find the shadow of the package." ”
When the little pig heard Mei Shui say this, he immediately pricked up his ears, and then looked at the package on Lu Yunchu's shoulder.
It was a dark blue square cloth, which was simply folded in half on all sides and wrapped in it, eventually forming a burden on one shoulder. The ancients all used this method as a burden, and the same is true for the people of the Marfa Continent.
This baggage is characterized by simplicity and convenience, but the capacity is limited and prone to loosening. If you are on a casual vacation, visiting relatives and friends, it is still the first choice. If it's going to the desert...... It doesn't seem to fit well!
Just thinking about it, I heard Mei Shui speak again: "And I followed Lu Gongzi all the way, and found that Lu Gongzi only cared about buying food, but have you ever thought about what items to prepare if you stay in the desert overnight?"
When the little pig heard this, his two little eyes immediately lit up......!!!
However, will there be tents for sale in this Marfa continent?
When Lu Yunchu heard Mei Shui's prompt, he also felt that it made sense. It's just that he is very strange, this Mei Shui has always been deeply hostile to him, why do you want to give him these instructions at this moment?
"What you say is reasonable, and I will consider it below. Lu Yunchu nodded slightly at Mei Shui with a paralyzed face, and then bypassed Mei Shui and prepared to walk into the cloth shop.
Mei Shui didn't stop him this time, but took a step back to make way out. But when Lu Yunchu was about to walk into the cloth shop, he said behind him: "Lu Gongzi still needs to prepare an object...... Ahhh......h
Lu Yunchu heard this and stopped.
According to Mei Shui's hint to him, it can be seen that Mei Shui knows a lot about desert survival, and since he said that they still lack the things they need, it doesn't hurt to listen to them more.
Turning his head, he asked Xiang Meishui, "What?"
Mei Shui was tilting her body, looking at him with squinted eyes, and when she heard him ask, she raised her head and raised her right hand to point at herself with her thumb: "I!"
Lu Yunchu obviously didn't expect that the "object" Mei Shui said was himself, so he didn't answer him immediately, but lowered his head and turned his inquiring eyes on the little pig.
They do need a guide who is familiar with the desert environment. It's just that if this person is Mei Shui, he is not sure if he needs it......
Piggy thought for a moment and gave the command: "Take him!"
Mei Shui was able to accurately point out the shortcomings of their preparation, which shows that he has more experience. And yesterday Meishan was able to tell them that Cistanche was in Norma Village, which shows that they know about the situation in Norma Village, and it is even possible that they have been to Norma Village.
Although Mei Shui seemed to have malicious intentions towards Lu Yunchu, if they really wanted to kill Lu Yunchu, they would not have easily let him leave the grass hut yesterday, let alone lead him to the desert with a big bend. What's more, if Mei Shui wants to do something in the desert, she can transform into a human form to protect Lu Yunchu at a critical time.
It's just that she can't understand why Mei Shui helped them for no reason?
"Why do you want to help?" Obviously, Lu Yunchu couldn't figure it out.
When Mei Shui heard him ask, she was stunned.
Master asked him to follow Lu Yunchu and help him safely cross the desert to find Yu Cistanche because he was worried that Lu Yunchu would be too weak, afraid that he would not be able to deal with the dangers he might face, and in order not to let him die......
If he said this reason and told him that the reason why he wanted to follow him was because he was worried that he would die too soon, then with Lu Yun's arrogant temperament, he would definitely not let himself follow them again......
Thinking of this, the big black eyes rolled in their sockets: "To make money!" In order to prove that he was really trying to make money, he immediately turned his eyes to Lu Yunchu's burden: "I'll show you the way, you have to pay me!" "Earn some money and find a good doctor for Master to treat his leg disease."
Sure enough, Lu Yunchu and Little Pig both believed his reason.
"If you let your Excellency lead the way, how many coins will you need?" Lu Yunchu was glad that they had brought out enough Marfa coins this time.
This question stumped Mei Shui again, how many coins are suitable? He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and raised a hand.
Lu Yunchu looked at the five fingers raised by Mei Shui, then looked down at the little pig, and then said: "There are less than five thousand coins on the lower body, if you can take me and the little pig to get the jade cistanche safely, and pay you four thousand coins when you come back?" In this way, they can still have a few hundred coins left, which is enough to buy items and the piglet's expenses.
Hearing the price of four thousand yuan, Mei Shui's five fingers were not put down for a long time, and her mouth was open for a long time without closing.
After a moment, he saw Lu Yunchu looking at him with inquiring eyes, so he closed his mouth and swallowed his saliva, as if in a dream, he spit out two words: "Cheng...... Deliver!"
Looking at his slowly lowered fingers, what he originally wanted to express was fifty coins......
