Chapter 852 - On the Road to the Desert (4) (1/2)
Parker gave it some thought before bringing out a big piece of animal skin from the luggage. He also brought over the four water jars.
He stacked two water jars together, placing one set in front and one set at the back. He then placed the animal skin on top of the jars, pressing it down with a few pieces of meat. A simplified tent was set up.
Animal skin was good at keeping out light, and Bai Qingqing instantly felt better. She then took a look at the jars on both sides, feeling a little worried.
“They won’t fall, right?”
“Don’t worry. The jars are sealed very tightly. Even if they fall, water won’t leak out,” Parker said.
Bai Qingqing felt at ease. “That’s good, then.”
She took half an hour before finishing a small bowl of jerky. After eating, her cheeks felt sore.
Even though her hands were greasy, she couldn’t bear to wash them with water. She picked up a handful of hot sand and rubbed her hands together carefully. The oil was completely removed, but her hands were now covered in dust.
Bai Qingqing leaned on the animal skin and looked into the distance. The endless stretch of the desert brought great fear.
“It’s too hot.”
Bai Qingqing wiped off the sweat on her forehead and then touched Curtis’s skin. “Are you hot?”
Curtis’s skin that was always smooth and cooling felt a little dry today. It didn’t feel as cool as usual, but instead, felt a little warm.
“Are you hot?” Bai Qingqing looked at him and asked worriedly.
Curtis smiled and shook his head, tidying her hair that was messed up by the wind and sand.
Even Snow could hold it in. If he, as a male, was unable to stand it, then he’d be too weak.
Bai Qingqing gave it some thought and said, “Let’s just rest here and then wait till night falls before we move on.”
Both Curtis’s and Parker’s eyes lit up.
Parker said, “That’s right. If we run when it’s cold, we won’t feel cold anymore.”
He then raised his voice and told this to the beastmen buried in the sand. Everyone gave their approval to this idea.
