Chapter 297: Fishing Again
Chapter 297: Fishing Again
Real-life development is always more headache-inducing than in games or novels, and it comes suddenly as well.
After Lin Sai successfully fished for a week,
Elaine's horse became ill.
It wasn't a premeditated scheme or a malicious attack.
It was simply due to the shock in the forest, compounded by the gloomy weather these past few days and a heavy rain.
The horse pulling the cart fell ill.
Lin Sai used the Merchant's Skill to appraise and confirmed that the poor animal had pneumonia.
As a lone merchant, Elaine also prepared medicine.
But the damp and gloomy environment of the forest made the medicine less effective.
Apart from alleviating the horse's pain, there was no way to cure it immediately.
Thus, by the side of the forest,
The horse was half-lying by the roadside, gasping for breath on the ground, its hoarse voice making everyone feel uncomfortable.
Lin Sai and Elaine stood face to face after getting off the cart.
"Elaine, what did you do in the past when you encountered such a situation?"
The young merchant helplessly spread her hands:
"What else could be done, just wait and see."
"Or wait for the horse to recover, or to die; or wait to meet someone else, and talk about how to get help."
"In short, that's how it was handled."
As she spoke, Elaine looked around the forest, which resembled a green hell, and couldn't help but start complaining:
"To be honest, if the profit isn't high enough, few people are willing to come to such a world under development."
"Even on the Imperial Road, it's just as desolate as drilling into the deep mountain forest!"
In a few words,
Elaine's idea began to hit Lin Sai:
"I remember... the next town is only a two-day journey away."
"Lin Sai, isn't your strength quite formidable?"
Lin Sai became alert:
"What do you mean?"
"Look, Little Fawn has also been pulling you for nearly three months~"
Little Fawn was the name Elaine gave to the horse.
At this moment, the young merchant smiled at Lin Sai without good intentions:
"Three months of companionship, you should return the favor now, shouldn't you?"
An uneasy premonition sprouted in Lin Sai's heart, tentatively asking:
"You won't let me ride the horse, and make me pull the cart, will you?"
It was as if afraid that someone would run away, Elaine directly pounced and hugged Lin Sai:
"No need to be so dramatic!"
"Regarding the cart, I can tidy up the goods and store them in my Merchant Space. But it would be a huge physical burden, so you help me carry the horse!"
Lin Sai subtly confirmed with a subtle tone:
"So, one of us will take the cart, and the other will carry the horse."
Elaine sensed that lin sai was about to break free from her embrace and shouted not so ladylike:
"Wait, I can give you money!"
"..."
Lin sai, of course, wouldn't waver because of such a reason.
However, it was also due to Elaine's predic that that that forest that Forest that her idea Li:

Lindsey simply replied, "No boat? We'll make one ourselves!"
"..."
"You're not like those artisans, able to craft magical items, are you?"
Elaine's guess was spot on, but Lindsey had no intention of revealing all his secrets. He smiled lightly, "You're thinking too much."
"I can just make an ordinary boat. We can glide along with it."
Lindsey's proposal was undoubtedly a solution.
Elaine released her hands, went back to soothe Little Fang, and responded to Lindsey, "That's fine too."
"But if we do it this way, Lindsey, you'd be helping me again. Should I pay you this time?"
Lindsey didn't refuse, "If you don't want to pay, I have no problem with that either."
Elaine looked up at him, skeptical of this man who had taken a large sum of her money. "What's the matter? Are you feeling particularly charitable today?"
Lindsey had already taken out an axe.
With a few solid chops, he felled a green sandalwood tree, and a simple oar was soon carved out and thrown to Elaine by the horse.
The merchant girl, looking bewildered, caught the oar.
Looking up again, Lindsey had already resumed work, explaining as he went, "If we're going to row, someone has to paddle, right?"
Elaine pointed the oar at herself, "So... I'll row?"
"That's right," Lindsey nodded affirmatively, "I've already made the boat, so of course, I'll be the one rowing afterwards."
Elaine was clearly still considering the feasibility of this idea.
Lindsey began to mentally persuade her, "Elaine, you save money, I save effort. This way, aren't we all happy?"
Hearing the word 'save money', Elaine forced herself to think.
As she watched Lindsey's axe chopping away, a rudimentary boat was already taking shape. She had to admit it was a reasonable suggestion.
"..."
Half an hour later, a new boat glided forward on the river.
The trees on both riverbanks passed by like a curtain of rain.
On the boat, Elaine sat at the stern, paddling the oars with effort.
A horse lay across the boat's center, uncomfortably panting.
As for Lindsey, he didn't entirely leave the rowing to Elaine.
While building the boat, Lindsey had made a sail and placed it in the middle. After resource conversion, it would work even in the forest, saving Elaine some effort.
In this situation, Lindsey sat alone at the boat's bow, casting his fishing rod for an unstable boat fishing session.
If he caught a wooden box, it would be easier.
Lindsey pulled the line, opening the box and taking out its contents.
But if he caught a fish...
During the process of reeling in, the fish's tail couldn't help but splash water onto Elaine's face.
Complaints could often be heard on the boat, "Lindsey, I've never met anyone like you!"
"But I'm helping you save money..."
"Then pay attention to your fish, don't splash water on me!"
"I can't control the fish's tail, but... how about I help you wipe it off?"
"Be careful, Lindsey, don't step on my horse!"
In this manner, the team continued sailing towards Nine Bays City.
