Chapter 411: Horse Riding
Li Yan was also wearing a ferret coat and a hat.
Their appearance blinded the group of bodyguards.
Chu Luo smiled and said, “Do we look like a martial arts couple wearing this outfit to ride horses and shoot arrows?”
“We should be able to ride horses here too. Do you want to try?”
“Really?”
“Mm.”
“Yes!”
It would only get dark at eight or nine in the evening here, and it was still early.
Chu Luo wanted to ride a horse, so Li Yan asked someone to take a horse that he had obtained from who knew where and the two of them walked towards the Gobi Desert.
As Lu Feng’s house was at the edge of the town, they didn’t need to pass through the town and could just walk past the back of the house.
At this moment, most of the people were gathered in town, so they didn’t meet anyone along the way.
After walking for a few hundred meters, Li Yan said to Chu Luo, “Luoluo, let’s ride.”
The two of them stopped.
Li Yan stepped on one leg and straddled the horse before extending his hand to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo placed her hand in his. He pulled her up and she was easily pulled up to sit in front of him.
The two of them sat on the horse one behind the other. Li Yan swung the rope and the horse quickly ran out.
Soon, the horse ran to the Gobi desert.
Looking at the occasional red willow or camel thorn, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “Previously, I’ve seen descriptions of this place. It is said that in spring, there will occasionally be rain at night. When the time comes, the rain will seep into the ground. The next morning, some flowers will bloom on the ground. They’re especially beautiful.”
After saying that, she pointed ahead. “Yan, let’s go to the edge of the desert to take a look.”
“Okay, go!”
The horse galloped with a cold gust of wind. Chu Luo subconsciously turned around and buried her face in Li Yan’s arms.
However, the road to the Gobi Desert wasn’t flat and was uneven. Soon, Chu Luo felt the change in Li Yan’s body.
She poked his chest in dissatisfaction. “Big baddie, what are you thinking about while riding a horse?”
Li Yan leaned his head on Chu Luo’s shoulder and breathed into her neck. His voice was hoarse. “It’s not my fault. Who asked you to keep rubbing against me in my arms?”
“I’m not. Tell the horse to run slower.”
“You’ll only feel it if you run faster.”
“…”
Chu Luo’s face turned red. She buried her head in his arms and said angrily, “Don’t say such embarrassing things outside.”
Li Yan laughed out loud. After laughing, he deliberately said in her ear, “I’m talking about the feeling of loosening up. What are you thinking about? Mm ~”
Li Yan’s hum was bewitching and sexy.
Chu Luo couldn’t stand it anymore and decided not to answer him.
After the horse ran for a while, Li Yan patted Chu Luo’s waist and gestured to the little woman who had been burying her head in his embrace. “Luoluo, we’re here.”
Only then did Chu Luo look up and turn to the front. The two of them looked at the desert, which was golden from the sunlight. Chu Luo said, “I really can’t tell what quicksand and sandstorm look like.”
“It’s best if we don’t encounter these two types.”
“You don’t have to be afraid even if we encounter it. I’ll protect you when the time comes.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, the grip on her waist tightened. Li Yan said in a slightly dark voice, “Thank you, Madam.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up unconsciously. Just as she turned around, the mask on her face was taken off and the corners of her lips were smacked.
Chu Luo nudged his chest shyly.
Li Yan said, “In the desert, I’m most worried about running out of water. You can bring more water along when the time comes.”
“Mm.”
The two of them looked at the desert scenery for a while before Li Yan rode his horse along the edge of the desert.
After running for a while, a large circular building made of stone appeared in front.
Chu Luo was a little curious. “What’s that place?”
“A place to raise camels.”
After saying that, Li Yan rode his horse over.
Not long after, a group of people walked out of the stone building.
Third Master Sun and Sun Tianhao were walking in front.
The two of them were chatting.
Puzzled, Sun Tianhao asked, “Daddy, don’t we have mountain motorcycles and cars? Why do we have to rent camels?”
“The environment in the desert is ever-changing. The cars and motorcycles might be buried in a sudden sandstorm. Camels know how to avoid the sandstorm. Even if they can’t, they can still bring us to a safe place at a critical time.”
“Are camels that powerful?”
“Definitely. How else did these camels survive in the desert?”
“We have camels now and the resources to enter the desert are ready. Are we leaving tonight?”
“The temperature is too low at night. We’ll leave tomorrow morning. I’ll also get someone to investigate the other village tonight. I keep feeling that the people from the other two families are here too.”
“Hmph! I suspect that these people will deliberately follow behind us and let us scout the way.”
“That depends on whether they have the ability.”
The two of them walked away.
Li Yan rode his horse past the stone building. At this moment, the camel owner was about to close the door when he heard the sound of horses’ hooves.
Li Yan asked, “Boss, are there still camels to rent here?”
The boss sized them up. Even though their faces couldn’t be seen, their clothes weren’t cheap. It was obvious that they were rich.
The boss waved at them amiably. “Guests, you’re a step too late. All the camels here have been rented.”
Li Yan nodded and asked, “Boss, do you know where else to rent camels?”
“Erm…” The boss stared at their clothes and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he asked,” I wonder if you two guests are going into the desert too? ”
“Yes.”
As Li Yan spoke, he suddenly took out a large gold chain from his pocket and handed it to him. “Boss, as long as you tell us where else we can rent camels, this will be a gift of appreciation for you.”
The boss’s eyes lit up when he saw the dazzling gold. He said, “There’s a camel rental shop in Urala Town. You can go there and take a look.”
After saying that, he reached out to take the gold chain.
Li Yan didn’t make things difficult for him and handed him the gold chain.
After the boss took the gold chain, he even bit it with his teeth. After confirming if it was real or fake, he instantly laughed until his eyes turned into crescents.
He felt that the person in front of him was straightforward, so he added, “Other than the camel rental shop that can be seen in Urala Town, there’s also a family surnamed Lie who has two camels. If only two of you are entering the desert, you can go to his house to take a look. His house is…”
“Okay, thank you.”
After saying that, Li Yan urged his horse to leave.
The boss looked at the two of them walking away and couldn’t stop smiling. “They’re really rich people with a lot of money. Haha… I’ve become rich today!”
After saying that, he hung the gold chain around his neck and walked towards his town.
After Chu Luo and Li Yan left, Chu Luo asked Li Yan, “Yan, why did you give him the gold chain? Also… since when did you start carrying that gold chain?”
Why hadn’t she seen it before?
Li Yan said above her head, “The people here usually like money. Since we can get the answers we want using money, why don’t we use it?”
In any case, he didn’t lack money.
“I got someone to prepare the gold chain in advance.”
Chu Luo was a little curious and reached into his pocket to feel around.
She then realized that there were a few gold chains inside.
Chu Luo retracted her hand awkwardly and asked, “Didn’t we already rent a camel? Why do you still want to rent one?”
“I’m just checking out the situation of the others renting camels.”
Chu Luo nodded in understanding.
The Urala Town that the boss mentioned was the town they were staying in. When Li Yan rode his horse to the edge of the town, someone was waiting there.
The two of them got off the horses. After that person led the horse away, the two of them slowly walked into the town.
“Dinner is ready at this time. We can eat at the restaurant later.”
The town wasn’t big, and the buildings were mostly built with stone and mud. They looked very stable.
The two of them walked over. Their attire was obviously a little ostentatious. Luckily, both of them were wearing masks, Chu Luo was wearing a veil, and Li Yan was wearing sunglasses. This way, they didn’t cause any other reaction because of their looks.
“Why doesn’t this town look like it has any restaurants?”
“Yes, there’s only one restaurant.”
Li Yan pointed at a relatively large two-story building in front. “That one over there.”
“Youpeng Restaurant.” Chu Luo didn’t know how to evaluate the name of this restaurant.
The two of them had just walked near Youpeng Restaurant when they saw a group of people walking over from the other side. This group of people was also wearing masks and sunglasses. Chu Luo could tell at a glance that they were from the Duanmu family.
Duanmu Tian, who was walking beside Third Master Duanmu, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the two of them.
