Wilderness Redemption Tour

Who else could this familiar hoarse voice be but Sadie!

"Uh...it's me." Lin Yan wiped the water off his face and replied.

"Jamie?" The gurgling sound of water made Sadie's voice not so clear.

"Yes, it's me..." Although he didn't have to worry about being seen by Sadie due to the darkness, Lin Yan still subconsciously shrank back into the water. "Why are you here so late at night..."

Lin Yan guessed that Sadie had the same purpose as him and also came to take a shower, otherwise why would she run out of the camp in the dark in the middle of the night? She couldn't have come out for a walk because she couldn't sleep.

"I'm here to take a bath." Sadie generously stated her purpose. Just as Lin Yan expected, it also came to take a bath.

"Then wait a moment, I'll be done soon..." As he said that, Lin Yan started to rub his hair dry.

Sadie listened to the splashing sound coming from the river, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she slowly unbuttoned her shirt.

"It's okay, don't worry. You wash yours and I'll wash mine. I don't mind."

"Ah?" When Sadie spoke, Lin Yan was rubbing his clothes with his head down, so fast that sparks were almost flying. Hearing Sadie's words, he wanted to say, "Wait a minute, wait until my back is turned before you take off your clothes." But when he looked up, with his night vision, he clearly saw that Sadie's upper body was already naked.

"I said it's okay. It's so dark, you can't see even if you want to." At this moment, Sadie didn't know that her upper body was completely exposed to Lin Yan's sight. While explaining, she unbuckled her belt and prepared to take off her pants.

Lin Yan had just suppressed the evil fire in his body, and when he saw Sadie's body exposed to the air, he quickly turned his back and scooped up two handfuls of water to splash on his face.

I'm a gentleman, but you still have to be on guard...

But then again, I didn't expect Sadie to be quite curvy. She didn't look big when she was wearing clothes...

Thinking of the charming scene when Sadie bent down just now, Lin Yan felt that his little brother was about to raise his head again. He was so scared that he quickly splashed some water on his face and recited the Heart Sutra silently.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to overcome all suffering."

"Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. The same is true of feeling, perception, mental formations and consciousness..."

The reason why Lin Yan could remember the full text of the Heart Sutra was not because he believed in Buddhism. On the contrary, he was a staunch atheist. Strictly speaking, he was still a staunch atheist before entering this game. The reason why he could remember this passage was purely because of work needs. When he was in college, he took a part-time job, pretending to be a monk to participate in several rituals in the villages near the school. The salary was quite generous, but there was a hard requirement that he had to shave his head. This is simply fatal for those job seekers who pay attention to appearance, but he didn't care much about his appearance and shaved his head without saying a word. With the help of this Heart Sutra, he pretended to be a monk for more than half a month and earned more salary than the previous three months. This passage of the Heart Sutra was also firmly imprinted in his mind. Even though he had graduated for three years, he could still recite it.

"What a coincidence! How come you also remembered to take a bath?" On the shore, the naked Sadie gathered her hair and slowly walked into the water.

"I haven't washed for several days. I was sweating and it was raining. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep well if I didn't wash." Lin Yan had just recited the Heart Sutra halfway when he heard Sadie's question and answered without thinking.

"What about you?" He asked casually in order to avoid a dull moment.

"It's all because of that bastard tonight." Sadie said angrily, "Not only did he dirty my clothes, but also my face and body were covered with dirt. I couldn't sleep without washing it."

Not sure if it was because the water was cold or for some other reason, but Lin Yan felt that Sadie's voice was less rough than before, and instead had a more indescribable flavor. The more he listened, the more he thought about it, and the scene he had just seen kept flashing back in front of his eyes.

He knew that if he didn't leave, something might happen tonight. It would be fine if Sadie thought the same way, but he was afraid that all this was just his wishful thinking, and in the end they wouldn't even be able to be friends.

Thinking of this, he rubbed his body a few times, stood up from the river, covered his thighs with his hands, and walked quickly to the shore. "Well... take your time washing, I'll leave first when I'm done."

"You've just been here for a short time, and you've finished bathing so quickly?" Just as Sadie soaked her body in the river water that still retained a trace of the sun's residual warmth, she saw the black figure representing Lin Yan hurriedly stand up and walk towards the shore.

"I'm simple, just rub it casually and it'll be done." After getting ashore, Lin Yan scratched his wet hair and walked barefoot to the place where he had placed the space bag just now.

There is a stone about 20 centimeters high here. Lin Yan sat on it with his back to the river, took out the shirt he had just taken off from the space bag, wiped his body and hair casually, then took out a clean shirt and pants and put them on quickly.

After putting on his clothes, Lin Yan said hello to Sadie and left in a hurry.

After returning to the camp and putting the dirty clothes into the clean carriage, Lin Yan took a bottle of beer and sat by the burning fire while drinking it.

Besides Lin Yan, the other person sitting by the fire tonight was John, who was drinking alone and was obviously kicked out by Abigail again.

After spending nearly a month together, Lin Yan had gotten along well with most of the gang members. After sitting down, he didn't exchange pleasantries with John. He raised the bottle of wine to toast him, took a sip of the wine, and asked curiously, "Were you kicked out by Abigail again?"

"Oh! Who said it wasn't..." John sighed and took a big sip of wine when he was touched on the sore spot.

"What's the reason today? Are you neglecting your family?"

"No." John shook his head and denied, "The battlefield has moved. Today it's because of little Jack."

"Little Jack?" Lin Yan was a little puzzled when he heard John say that Abigail quarreled with him because of little Jack.

Lin Yan would not be surprised if Abigail quarreled with John because of little Jack. But since little Jack was lost, John tried his best to find him, and then little Jack returned safely, Lin Yan saw the change in John's attitude towards Abigail and this small family that belonged to him. He saw that John was trying to integrate into this family that he had abandoned, and the number of times Abigail lost her temper with him was visibly reduced.

"We had a disagreement on the education of little Jack. I just said that she was a bit too strict with the child, and she drove me out like an angry lioness." Speaking of the reason, John felt a little wronged.

"As a person who has been through this, let your old uncle John give you some advice." John raised his head and looked at Lin Yan with burning eyes: "There is one stupid thing you should never, ever do, and that is to find yourself a woman."
