Chapter 239: A Small Town on the Edge of the Desert

Since the treasure will not appear until late May, they certainly cannot set off immediately.

Although they were all confident that they would not die in the desert, the danger would be reduced if they could reduce the time they spent in the desert.

After General Lei knew that they were going to enter the desert, he specially sent a letter.

Let them take this letter to a reliable person to buy camels and houses when they arrive at the small town on the edge of the desert.

If they needed a guide to take them into the desert, they could use this letter to find the best guide.

After half a month of not-too-busy preparations in the border town, in late April, the three felt that the time was about right and prepared to set off for the desert.

It would be impossible for them to just walk over there or fly over there using light skills.

But the horse could not follow them into the desert, and although there was someone introduced by General Lei in the small town on the edge of the desert, they could not safely entrust their beloved horse to that person.

So in the end, they left their beloved horses in the care of General Lei's mansion, and then bought three ordinary riding horses and headed towards the edge of the desert.

Horses are bought everywhere. We can just buy these three horses and take them to a small town on the edge of the desert, and then resell them.

It was still spring, but the closer they got to the desert, the hotter and drier the weather became.

This is completely different from the climate near Zuimeng Island. Except for being a bit dry in the summer, the climate near Zuimeng Island is not dry most of the time even if it is hot.

As for those who live on the island, they have never experienced dry heat even in the hot summer.

Lian Li thought that he should not be able to adapt to such weather, but unexpectedly, he adapted quite well.

The internal energy was circulating slowly in his body, and he felt like an air conditioner that could self-regulate the temperature. He just felt a little bit exposed to the sun, but not that hot.

Although we haven't completely entered the desert yet, there is already yellow sand under our feet.

The small town on the edge of the desert is called a city, but in fact it is only the size of a small town.

The walls were all made of stone, and there were no guards at the gates. Of course, not many people entered the city, and the city was not very lively.

Most people who come here come and go in a hurry.

Street vendors basically just spread a piece of cloth on the ground and put their things on it.

Lian Li took a quick look and found that most of them were dressed like caravans from neighboring small countries. Apart from them, there were some martial artists carrying weapons.

Their attire also varied from one another, and quite a few of them looked like warriors from other countries.

All three of them were wearing conical hats, which was not uncommon here. The desert was windy and sandy, so they could only wear conical hats now. After entering the desert, they would have to wrap themselves tightly with cloth to prevent sunburn and sandstorms.

The inn here couldn't be said to be very good, but the three of them didn't care. After all, they often went out, and sitting in the open air was normal for them.

The inn was not big and there were not many rooms, so the three of them only booked two rooms.

As soon as he entered the room, Lian Li couldn't help but take off all his clothes.

He held the clothes and shook them madly. After a while, the sand was shaken off the clothes and fell on the ground.

After shaking the clothes, Lian Li sat on a stool, took off his shoes, and continued shaking.

Soon, he shook out all the sand in his shoes.

Yun Huizhou was similar to him. After cleaning the sand off his body, he saw Lian Li was already taking off his hair.

Thinking of how Lian Li touched his head more than once on the road and found sand, he thought about it and decided to go out and ask for a bath.

Taking a bath is considered a luxury here, but since an inn can be opened here, there is naturally water for bathing.

But the cost of taking a bath in this inn is equivalent to half a camel.

The three of them never lacked money, but after they came out of the customs, they headed towards the desert, which was already a no-man's land.

The people here are barbaric and fierce, and there are also horse bandits.

Those who dare to come here all think they have some ability and ferocity.

Being able to directly ask for water to take a bath in this inn is equivalent to telling the people here that you are a fat sheep.

It is definitely fat, but as to whether it is a sheep or a wolf, we will only know after a fight.

Lian Li was not clear about these things, but Yun Huizhou was quite clear about them.

However, when he thought that after they entered the desert, Lian Li might not have the chance to take a shower before coming out, and that even if he wanted to spend money to buy water for Lian Li to take a comfortable shower, he wouldn't be able to buy water, he felt that it didn't matter whether anyone would treat them as fat sheep.

If someone really comes to rob them, they will just fight back.

It would be even better if they could attract the horse bandits. After killing them, they could sell their horses and save the money to buy camels. If they were lucky enough to get someone riding a camel, they could just inherit his camel.

Moreover, he also knew that there was a lot of gold in the bandit's treasure house.

Unfortunately, the horse bandits are quite large in scale, and they have existed here for decades.

They are not comparable to those bandits in the Central Plains who suddenly became bandits.

If he wanted to directly wipe out a smaller group of horse bandits, it was not impossible for him and Lian Li to do it together, but it would take some time.

And they only stayed in the small town on the edge for a few days.

Otherwise, after robbing the horse bandits, the gold could be used to build a big ship for Lian Li.

He knew that this kid coveted Uncle Xi's big ship.

The water was brought up quickly. Lian Li's hair had been completely undone. He was standing in a corner, shaking his hair frantically with his hands, shaking out a lot of sand.

When he felt his head was better, he waved to Yun Huizhou: "Come here, I'll help you untie your hair and shake out all the sand, and then wash your hair. Once we enter the desert, we won't be able to wash our hair unless we find an oasis."

Yun Huizhou originally wanted to say, just wash it, he doesn’t feel uncomfortable.

But when he saw the only bathtub in the cubicle, he swallowed his words and obediently moved a stool in front of Lian Li. He sat down with his back to Lian Li and let Lian Li take off his hair.

There was some sand in the bow of Yunhui Boat, but not as much as Lianli.

After Lian Li cleaned up, he put his chin on Yun Huizhou's shoulder from behind and said, "Why don't you take a shower too? Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for you to take a shower next time."

Yun Huizhou answered decisively: "Okay."

Seeing him stand up, Lian Li thought he was going to get more water, but unexpectedly Yun Huizhou turned around, picked him up, and walked towards the compartment.

Lian Li did not struggle. They had been together for such a long time and had done everything they should have done more than once. Of course he knew what Yun Huizhou meant.

After the two of them got together, although they didn't take a shower together every time, they did so quite often.
