Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

"No." Lian Li rubbed his eyes: "I slept well."

Yun Huizhou: "...If you say it's good, then it's good."

The two of them only spent a few words talking when Zhao Honglan came over. He was a little surprised to see Lian Li's expression.

He walked over and asked, "Junior brother Lian, did you not sleep well last night? Are you used to your bed? That shouldn't be the case. If you are used to your bed, you probably won't be able to sleep well in the inn."

Lian Li smiled weakly and tiredly, and said, "Brother Zhao, I slept very well."

Zhao Honglan looked a little hesitant. He had originally planned to set off for southern Xinjiang as soon as Qu's father left, and he couldn't bring himself to say that he would set off later.

But he was indeed very anxious. Ever since Xin Ci said that she wanted to buy him some time, he knew that the group of people who took Qu Tingquan away might not necessarily want to kill her, but more likely wanted to do something to her, and accomplishing this would take time.

So he looked at Lian Li and opened his mouth to think that he and Yun Huizhou might as well go back, and Lian Li would follow Qu's father to live in Qinghong Sword Sect for a while.

Lian Li knew that Zhao Honglan was anxious, and was afraid that Zhao Honglan would see that he had not rested well, but he did not want to waste time and persuade him to stay, so he spoke before Zhao Honglan: "Brother Zhao, if everything is ready, let's go."

Zhao Honglan saw that the dark circles under his eyes were really conspicuous, and couldn't help but say: "Junior Brother Lian, if you don't..."

Lian Li immediately raised his hand to stop Zhao Honglan from speaking: "I don't want to know what you think, I want to know what I think."

Zhao Honglan's words got stuck in his throat and he could only laugh awkwardly.

"Ha! You are quite domineering." Yun Huizhou said, then turned to Zhao Honglan and shrugged helplessly: "Sometimes his words are a little strange, but there is no other meaning."

"Junior Brother Lian always talks in an interesting way." Zhao Honglan agreed.

The people who came to pick up Qu's father had arrived. Yun Huizhou and Lian Li didn't bring much stuff with them, so after they put the bags on their backs and helped Qu's father get on the carriage, they were ready to set off.

They had just mounted their horses when Lian Li suddenly remembered that their trip to Southern Xinjiang would probably take quite a while, so he had to inform his master and uncle on Zuimeng Island.

So he said to Yun Huizhou, "We have to send a letter back to tell Master and Uncle Master. I'm afraid it won't be convenient to send them news after we get to the south."

Yun Huizhou took out a letter receipt from his pocket and said, "I went out to mail it when you were still asleep this morning. Master and Uncle Master will receive it in a few days."

"That's good." After all, southern Xinjiang is still a bit dangerous. In case there's no news from them for a long time, we can let Master and Uncle Master know where they are and rescue them.

Even the things that Li Ta and Yun Huizhou brought out were cleaned up, and it was discovered that since the two had not been injured, their medicine reserves were still sufficient.

There were enough detoxifying and healing medicines for the three of them.

But after all, the people over there are playing with Gu, so they still have to be careful.

When passing a small town, Lian Li stopped their team.

"This place is not far from the sphere of influence of the Spiritual Cult. We'd better stock up on some dry food."

Zhao Honglan and Yun Huizhou turned around to look at him at the same time. Yun Huizhou shook his bag and said, "The dry food inside is enough for the three of us to eat for three days."

"Not enough." Lian Li shook his head: "If the matter of Xin Ci was manipulated by the Ling Cult, then they must know that Xin Ci gave you the news. Maybe they are waiting for us to go in."

"They have many different ways to poison people. Once we enter the spiritual sect's territory, we have to be careful about what we eat. If we eat something poisoned in a town or city, we'll be in trouble."

Yun Huizhou nodded in agreement after hearing what he said, "That's true, but how much dry food should we bring with us?"

"At least half a month." Lian Li said, "We can't just go in for a day or two and come out. As for dry food, we'd better choose the kind that doesn't take up space and fills our stomachs."

Zhao Honglan also frowned and said, "This is indeed a dangerous place, and it is also extremely troublesome."

"Southern Xinjiang has always been mysterious since ancient times." Lian Li said, "Anyway, we have to be careful. Let's discuss what we need to pay attention to after we enter."

After hearing what Lian Li said, Zhao Honglan and Yun Huizhou fell into deep thought at the same time.

Neither of them responded, and there was silence for a moment.

After a long while, Zhao Honglan finally spoke: "I have never known about the situation in Southern Xinjiang before. They almost never come to our side."

Lian Li looked at Yun Huizhou, expecting him to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was so angry that he almost died.

"You have read relevant materials in my uncle's study. I will listen to you."

Although Yun Huizhou said this, he was not joking. He really had not been to his uncle's study to see these things. Although he only knew a little, Zhao Honglan knew everything he knew.

As for Lian Li, he felt that this guy must know more than him.

But this kid will definitely say that he was just making it up.

Lian Li was so angry when he saw that neither of them expressed their opinions that he wanted to kick each of them.

If it were only him and Yun Huizhou, he would have kicked them as he designated, but unfortunately Zhao Honglan was there, and it always felt a bit weird to kick Zhao Honglan.

"Okay, then listen to my thoughts. Let me make it clear first, what I say may not be right, but it will definitely not be wrong if we pay more attention." Lian Li said.

Yun Huizhou: "Speak."

Zhao Honglan: "I'm all ears."

"First of all, we can't eat anything there. It's best to eat the dry food we brought with us." Lian Li began to recall how he had read in novels before, which generally described how people were poisoned.

"If anything unexpected happens to the dry food, we should try to hunt for food ourselves, and try to boil the prey we hunt instead of roasting it."

"Although roasting sometimes tastes better, if the heat is not controlled well, it is easy for some parts to be undercooked, and there may be insects inside that are not dead yet and we eat them."

When he said this, Yun Huizhou was fine, but Zhao Honglan showed a trace of disgust on his face.

Lian Li glanced at him and thought, this male protagonist actually has a little mysophobia, or is he afraid of insects?

Although Zhao Honglan's expression got out of control for a moment after hearing that some insects might be eaten, fortunately he did not interrupt Lian Li and quickly regained control of his expression.

"Then there is water. The three of us have three kettles. After we finish drinking the water we brought with us, we have to boil the water we fetch from the stream before putting it into the kettle to ensure that there is no problem with the water."

"Also, we all need to change into a pair of leather boots and leather gloves, and also put something around our necks to prevent small insects from biting our necks or behind our ears."
