Chapter 30. The Coachman Party

When a carriage is driving in an uninhabited wilderness, the same scenery will inevitably look boring and may easily make the driver feel sleepy. Fortunately, it is not a road full of cars, so there is no chance of an accident.

"Kelsey, if you are tired, please take your place."

Zhou Jinru was eager to get started. He rarely had the opportunity to drive. When he was in Rhode Island, there were operators competing to even drive, let alone drive a carriage.

The big lynx wrapped in a black cloak rejected his request, mainly because not long ago, someone got excited and drove the carriage under the roadbed. Although there was no roadbed on the rough dirt road, for the sake of safety,

Just don't let him touch it.

Zhou Jinru, who was asking for trouble, had no choice but to find a place to lie down. The space inside the carriage full of goods was limited, so he could only minimize the area occupied.

"Kelsey, we've been on the road for two days, and you haven't told me where we're going. According to the direction you're going, it shouldn't be the way to Victoria or the rainforest."

Similarly, Kelsey did not answer this question. She seemed to have her own thoughts and had no intention of sharing them with the men around her.

But today is an exception. Just when Zhou Jinru thought he would not get an answer, the cold voice of the big lynx came: "We are going to a no-man's land in the south of Sargon."

"What?"

"Uncover a secret."

Zhou Jinru frowned slightly, what kind of secret is it that even Kelxi is obsessed with?

As if to unravel the doubts in his mind, Kelsey continued: "This secret is related to Sargon's Eternal City. There are many secrets in this land. The difference is that some have been solved, while others are still deep.

buried underground."

"Okay, I agree."

Would this man agree so easily?

Zhou Jinru smiled lightly and said: "As long as it is your matter, I will help you, no matter how polite you are, we are all one family."

The hand holding the reins quietly tightened, maybe it wasn't a good thing to trust him so much.

No matter what Kelsey thought, the day on the carriage was extremely short. She had never felt that time passed so fast. Soon, night fell and they had to stop and set up camp.

You don’t have to worry so much when you camp in a no-man’s land. There is no human habitation for thousands of miles, and even horse bandits are not willing to visit. As for wild beasts, if there are really wild beasts coming, it will be a good thing...

"ignition."

Zhou Jinru stretched out three fingers of his right hand, rubbed them gently, and a small cluster of flames jumped on his fingertips, lighting the campfire, and the orange flames jumped up and licked from his mask.

A small pot was placed on the campfire. It was steaming and emitting a strong aroma. The soup was still a little short of stew.

Zhou Jinru slowly tore open the dry pieces of fried noodles. This stuff was a bit sour and could not be called bread at all, but it was an excellent dry food when going out.

"The soup is ready."

The chopped dried vegetables swell when exposed to water, and a layer of fat floats on the steaming noodle soup. Once the noodle is soaked, it becomes a delicious meal.

Zhou Jinru carefully put two spoons of soup into Kelxi's lunch box, and gently used a small spoon to let the soup soak into the food.

The two people were sitting diagonally across from each other, both thinking about something.

After a long time, Kelsey spoke first: "Even if you eat, are you unwilling to take off your mask?"

"I look scary, and it's night time again. I'm worried that you might have nightmares after watching too much, so I won't take it off yet."

Kelsey pursed her lips and said softly: "It's actually not that scary. You'll get used to it after seeing it too much."

Zhou Jinru shook his head and said, "Are you comforting me? That's not true. I haven't reached this point yet. Thank you. I know you have good intentions."

The big lynx has a hard mouth but a soft heart. On the surface, it looks quite fierce and its words are not polite at all. But in fact, it cares about people very much and knows how to help them from the side.

"I'm just stating the facts. Your face just needs time to recover."

"I know, Kelsey, you are so kind."

The highest level of chatting is to chat to death in three sentences.

After eating, after a while, it was time to rest.

"Kelsey, have you always been like this?"

"What did you say?"

Zhou Jinru repeated: "I said, have you always been like this, walking a long journey alone?"

"It's nothing. If this is what you want to say, you'd better take the time to rest."

Regarding the matter of rest, Zhou Jinru’s idea at first was that the two of us would watch the night before and after, but the actual situation was that both of them were sleeping, and the one watching the night was Mon3tr...

"As you said, Kelsey, we will definitely go a long way together in the future. Why not take this opportunity to get to know each other. There are no outsiders here. We are old friends, right?"

"I already know you very well, no need to do any more useless work."

"But I need to get to know you..."

The big lynx ignored his question and turned around to find a place to sleep, while Mon3tr had quietly appeared nearby to guard it.

Although he was rejected, Zhou Jinru was not discouraged, because in this era, Kelsey's attitude towards him was far less bad than a hundred years later. Not only was he no longer alienated or suspicious, but he even wanted to get closer to him.

It seems that the death of the princess has caused too much psychological trauma to her.

This also made Zhou Jinru more curious about what happened between them on that day to lead to the subsequent situation.

The two people's sleeping bags were next to each other. Zhou Jinru closed his eyes and couldn't fall asleep, so he quietly stared at Kelxi opposite.

A strand of silver hair hangs down on the side of her fair face. Her skin is so good that even the harsh sun of Sargon will not damage it at all and always remains supple.

The bored Zhou Jinru used his right hand to resemble a villain and quietly marched to the opposite side. When he was halfway through the journey, his lynx eyes stared at him quietly with a faint light.

She whispered: "What?"

"Can't sleep."

The villain took a tentative step forward, but the lynx showed no reaction, so he bravely took the next step.

"go to sleep now!"

"I really can't sleep."

"Then can you fall asleep just by looking at me?"

"I feel less tired when I see you."

Another villain appeared on the battlefield and bumped into the enemy lightly.

It turned out that she couldn't sleep either.

Zhou Jinru felt happy and whispered: "Xixi~"

"Do you want to die?"

The villain easily defeats the enemy.

"What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here. It's just you and me. That's all."

Kelsey didn't speak for a long time, took her hand back, turned over, and ignored him.

Even so, Zhou Jinru was very happy and did not fall asleep until late at night, at the cost of being lack of energy the next day.

"I'm sorry to bother you today, I'm going to catch up on my sleep."

It turns out that being a driver is so fun!
