PDLP Chapter 203 Sandstorm
Chapter 203 Sandstorm
The next morning, Wu Xie took the opportunity to tell Jiang Shen and the others about the matter while having breakfast.
"So?" Jiang Shen looked at Wu Xie, "What are you going to do?"
"Just leave it alone!" Wu Xie spread his hands. "Although Aunt Wen Jin almost became my Third Aunt, it didn't work out, right? Besides, isn't it strange? If she has something to do, she shouldn't come to me, no matter how you look at it. She should have looked for my Third Uncle, because he's her match. And even if she didn't look for him, she shouldn't have looked for a junior like me! Judging from this, this is another trap set by my Third Uncle."
Jiang Shen looked at Wu Xie with a look of satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment that his eldest son had grown up.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy!" Wu Xie looked at Jiang Shen's eyes and felt goosebumps all over his body.
Jiang Shen: That little bit of relief I just felt is gone.
After breakfast, everyone got on the bus.
The group traveled through the desert for two days. Jiang Shen felt like his butt was about to be broken, and his temper became much more irritable.
I won't eat egg yolks no matter what: [Anchor, it looks like a sandstorm is coming!]
Jiang Shen: ...
Lao Wang is not a big fish: [Indeed, according to the consistent law of Wu Xie's physique, if it has been smooth sailing all the way, then he must have been holding back a big one!]
Lucky Guoguo: [No wonder there's a sandstorm that only happens once every 80 years!]
Jiang Shen: [No wonder, I always feel like something is missing...]
Jiulou: [Host, be prepared to support two people at once.]
Jiang Shen: [What the hell? According to the original worldline, they passed out in the desert because they had no water. Now they both have space rings! Do you think they'll still be short of water?]
Ye Yu: [The question is, given Wu Xie's strange constitution, are you sure it won't trigger something else?]
Jiang Shen: [Just kill me!]
Ruigezhu, who likes hard grass: [Streamer, stop being emo, a sandstorm is coming. If you keep going like this, you'll be buried in the ground!]
Jiang Shen: ...
The sandstorm in the original world line arrived as expected, and the unreliable driver ran out chasing a book.
Jiang Shensan quickly got into the driver's seat and started the speeding mode. Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen, who were sitting in the back, felt like their stomachs were about to be thrown out. They held on to the armrests tightly, fearing that they would be thrown out.
Jiang Shen's racing skills were good, but the quality of the car was not good enough. The car broke down not long after it started racing, and the three people were forced to get out.
Jiang Shen took out a rope from the space and tied it around the waists of the three people, so that even if a sandstorm blew over, they would not get separated.
Even human legs couldn't outrun a sandstorm. Wu Xie, Jiang Shen, and Jie Yuchen finally found themselves in the sandstorm, experiencing what it felt like to fly. The sandstorm literally carried them soaring.
Jiang Shen could only use talismans to ensure that the few people in the desert would not be hit by any strange things. After all, he had just seen a pair of bright red shorts, although he didn't know whose they belonged to.
When the three woke up again, most of their bodies were buried in the sand.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh!" Wu Xie spat out the sand in his mouth, rinsed his mouth with water, and finally felt that he could survive.
"You're finally awake." Xie Yuchen said from the side, "If you don't wake up, A Jiang will consider giving you a slap in the face."
Wu Xie: It should be... no way?
The next second, Wu Xie saw Jiang Shen's regretful eyes, and he just wanted to say to Jiang Shen sincerely: Are you a devil?
"Now that you're awake, let's go! Let's join up with the main force." Jiang Shen said, standing up from the ground and patting his butt.
Jiang Shen was thoughtful enough to give everyone a parasol, as the sun in the desert was quite strong.
With sufficient food and water, Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen avoided dehydration and fainting from the heat. Although there were some minor incidents along the way, they were not a major problem. The three of them finally managed to reunite with the main force before sunset.
"Back at the camp, the three of them happened to hear Aning's team member, a man named Wu Laosi, arguing with Dingzhu Zhuoma's grandson.
"If you hadn't taken the wrong road, how could we have encountered a sandstorm!" Wu Laosi grabbed Zhaxi's collar and said,
"The sandstorm has nothing to do with the road we took. The last time there was such a big sandstorm was eighty years ago!" Zhaxi argued with Wu Laosi in not very fluent Mandarin. The Tibetan boy was so angry that his face turned red.
"Tsk tsk, we're caught in a sandstorm that only happens once every 80 years?" Fatty Wang shook his head. "We're pretty lucky!"
"To be more precise, it's Wu Xiexie's physique that's quite good," Jiang Shen said. "The whole journey here was smooth, but I always felt like something was missing. When the sandstorm came, I suddenly felt like everything was complete."
Wu Xie: You have PTSD, right?
"Wu Xie, don't go to the beach anymore. I'm afraid you'll cause a tsunami," Hei Xiazi suddenly said.
Wu Xie took a deep breath. "If I had the ability to control nature, I would just take root on the Japanese island. There would be a tsunami every three days, an earthquake every five days, and a volcanic eruption every month. I would consider it my contribution to the country!"
"I think it's okay. When I reach retirement age, I will pack you up and take you to the Japanese island. I will try to destroy the Japanese island in my lifetime!" Jiang Shen said with an expression that said, "I have high hopes for you."
Hei Xiazi touched his chin and even seriously thought about the possibility of this matter.
"Wu Xie, I think this is really possible. If you can really do it, not only can we completely clear the name of your Wu family, but it's also not impossible to arrange a legitimate family background for you. Not only can we open a separate branch of the family tree, but we can even open a page in the history book list. You can be on the list of candidates for the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination every year. You will be a top celebrity in history!"
Wu Xie was really speechless now. He just said that. There was no need to take it so seriously, right?
"Wu Xie," Xie Yuchen, as Wu Xie's childhood friend, still had a bit of conscience, "How about you stay in a Taoist temple for a while? Buddhism may not be able to solve your problems, but Taoism may be able to!"
Wu Xie: ...
"Do you believe that according to the consistent style of Taoism, we should enlighten Wu Xie and tell him not to blame himself?" Jiang Shen thought for a while and said,
After Jiang Shen finished speaking, everyone fell silent. It seemed that this was really possible, and it was quite likely.
"Everyone, if you are free, can you help search and rescue the team members?" Aning said.
"The people you hired are here!" Jiang Shen pointed at Hei Xia Zi, meaning that he should stay away.
"Heiye, don't forget your final payment." Aning gritted her teeth and said,
"Okay!" Hei Xiazi shrugged and went straight out of the camp. He was just looking for a place to stay for a while and then go back. What kind of fool would go out looking for someone in the middle of the night? In the desert, isn't that crazy?
