Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Jack did not take the weather in the desert into consideration. Ye Tingyun also did not take the weather in the desert into consideration. Three hours later after the sandstorm, it began to rain heavily. All of Ye Tingyun’s flying devices were completely defeated.

“Wait for the rainstorm to stop. Then, we’ll continue searching again.”

It was tough on Jack and Mu Yuan. The rain was heavy, and the whole sky was gloomy. Once it rained in the desert, it was difficult to move. Jack placed Mu Yuan on a hillside. He blocked the direction of the rain pouring. He took off his own vest and blocked the other side.

. 

The rain was so heavy, and it was practically useless to hide from the rain like this. The two of them could not avoid getting drenched. The rain lasted a one whole hour. After the rain, it was bright and sunny again. If one’s body condition was not good, these moments of coldness and warmth would definitely cause the body to collapse.

Jack carried Mu Yuan on his back and walked until it was night. At night, Mu Yuan also woke up. He had not resumed his mental state. Jack did not light a fire, and it was still pitch dark. He was eating a packet of compressed biscuits. He raised his head and drank a mouthful of water. Mu Yuan woke up in a daze and was given a mouthful of water by Jack. Jack stuffed some compressed biscuits to him. “Eat it.”

Mu Yuan did not have any strength in his hands at all. In the night, the double image that he saw was worse. It was like he had gotten night blindness. “Shan Ning?”

Jack did not really want to acknowledge this name, but he was using Shan Ning’s face. Since he had turned to leave, it was also not appropriate for Mu Yuan and him to be overly involved with each other. It was best for him to conceal his identity.

“Yeah.”

Mu Yuan did not talk. He ate the compressed biscuits and drank some water again. His body was wet, and there was no warmth at all. Jack sat over and hugged him. He wrapped him with the vest that was already dry. His warm chest gave him warmth; the most comfortable temperature was the temperature of a person’s body. Mu Yuan was somewhat dazed. “Thank you.”

Thank you for coming to save me willingly.

For risking your life to barge into this mercenary’s base camp. 

“We are in the desert. We have lost contact temporarily. We may run into something. I’ll bring you out,” Jack said. He said softly beside his ear, “I’ll definitely bring you out.”

“Don’t treat me so well,” Mu Yuan said. He was especially afraid of owing people favors. If he could not return a favor, this would make him feel the most miserable. Jack’s body was too warm. It made him feel a sense of longing.

Mu Yuan was embraced in his arms. He did not care about the happenings outside for the time being.

Jack’s and Mu Yuan’s luck was really not too good. Mu Yuan fell asleep deeply again. In less than one hour, Jack saw a firelight far away. The desert was flat, and it stretched as far as the eye could see. Everything could be seen clearly and understandably.

Jack’s heart shuddered. He quickly carried Mu Yuan on his back, took the equipment, and walked forward. They were out of luck this time. They had bumped into the Storm mercenaries’ base camp. The opposite party had binoculars and could see far. Jack and Mu Yuan had nowhere to hide in the desert.

Lin Songye cursed. “Finally found you all!”

“Chase after them. Don’t kill them!”

“Yes!”

Everybody swarmed forward and chased Jack and Mu Yuan. There was a dune buggy for one person on the opposite side. Jack simply could not outrun them by depending on his two legs. He simply put Mu Yuan behind him and waited for them to come near.

As Lin Songye was in a rage, he threw a punch that hit Jack’s face. He was acting the role of Shan Ning. No matter how powerful the opposite party was, he also could not fight back. He took the blow.

“Run, do you think that you can outrun anyone? This is the desert. It is our territory. Where can you run to?” Lin Songye punched Jack quite a number of times. Mu Yuan laid on the ground and struggled slightly for a while. He watched helplessly as Shan Ning was being beaten.
