Chapter 951: Honor in Troubled Times 19
Another day was consumed, all the water was drunk, and without water, the dry food was difficult to swallow in such a hot weather.
The children's faces were very ugly, their lips were dry and white, and their faces were skinned.
"Third brother, what should we do?"
When he was resting at noon, Xiao Jin came over to discuss with Xiao Yuan: "I have inquired, the rivers around here are dry, and I can't find any water source for another day." ”
"Is there well water?"
Xiao Ling asked.
Xiao Jin shook his head: "There is no water in the well, if there is water, the people here will not flee in groups." ”
Xiao Ling's face was also ugly: "Let's save no matter how much we save, now there is not a drop of water, how can we live this day, we can bear it, but what about the children." ”
When he was an uncle, he looked at his nephews and nieces thirsty, and he was also very distressed.
Xiao Yuan jumped down from the carriage, he called An Ning, turned back to Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling, and said, "You stay here, and your third sister-in-law and I will look for it to see if we can find a water source." ”
An Ning shook his head and pushed Xiao Yuan: "You guard, I can't find it myself." ”
Xiao Jin objected first: "Let the third brother follow, the third sister-in-law is too dangerous to be alone." ”
There are a lot of homeless people around, and An Ning may be bullied if she goes out to find water alone.
An Ning clenched the knife in his hand: "I'll go by myself, the children are here, and I don't worry about the two of you guarding the children." ”
She put the knife in front of her: "Don't worry, I have a knife, and no one will dare to bully me if I risk my life." ”
Xiao Yuan knew An Ning's ability, thinking that the two of them were gone, it was really uneasy to have women and children here, so he nodded: "You be careful." ”
An Ning snorted, picked up two water bladders and left.
As she walked, she carefully observed the topography and leylines.
An Ning has cultivated immortals, and has also been a feng shui master in several worlds, and has also been a national teacher, so it is really not difficult for her to find water.
No matter how dry it is, there are still some springs that have not dried up, and there are still some underground water sources that have not been cut off.
An Ning stopped and walked, carefully identifying the leylines, and soon came to a small hill.
This small hill is very steep, and the side facing people is full of rocks, and there are almost no trees, so it is very difficult to climb up.
An Ning stood at the bottom of the hillside, reached out and touched the stone wall, and soon laughed.
She turned and walked back, and after walking a short distance, she saw several homeless people approaching.
The homeless people looked at An Ning up and down, and discussed in a whisper: "This mother-in-law is handsome, and she can get a lot of money if she sells it......"
"What kind of money to exchange, let's exchange food, I'm dying of hunger. ”
"Quickly tied her up. ”
An Ning didn't give the homeless people a chance to pounce at all, her eyes were cold, her movements were neat, she stepped forward in a few steps, and the blade slashed through the neck of a homeless, and the homeless fell before he could shout.
The others were taken aback.
An Ning said coldly: "I heard everything you discussed. ”
With that word spoke, her knife swung out again, this time directly into the heart of a homeless man, and by the time the knife was pulled out, the blood had already stained the cold-glowing blade bright red.
"We don't dare. ”
"We don't have bad intentions. ”
The remaining few homeless people ran away in fear, even if they had already eaten several times without serious meals, but at this time they were still running fast.
An Ning walked back with a cold face.
When she walked into the team, Xiao Ling saw that the knife in her hand was stained with blood, and she knew that she must have killed someone.
"Third sister-in-law, you take a break first. ”
Xiao Ling didn't say anything, but asked An Ning to sit for a while.
An Ning nodded to him, and then said to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Jin: "Drive the carriage forward for a while, I will lead the way, and you will come with me." ”
The two knew that she should have found a source of water, so they got into the car and drove the carriage to follow An Ning.
As you walk past the path, there are fewer and fewer people, and if you go any further, the carriage will not be able to pass.
An Ning said to Xiao Yuan: "You stay here, I will take the fourth and sixth brothers to fetch water." ”
Xiao Ling had already taken everything that could hold water.
The three men carried buckets and water bladders to the front of the hillside.
An Ning stood at the foot of the hillside, glanced at Xiao Ling, stretched out his hand and said, "Rope." ”
Xiao Ling hurriedly handed the thick and long thick hemp rope to An Ning.
An Ning wrapped the rope around her waist, stepped back for some distance, and then ran quickly.
With the momentum of running, she leaped lightly, grabbed a small branch growing in the hillside, and then jumped over and grabbed a protruding rock.
Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling looked up at the bottom of the hillside, and saw that An Ning's posture was particularly dexterous, just like an ape living in the mountains, and in a few jumps, they had already climbed very high.
After a few more jumps, I couldn't see her anymore.
Before the two of them could come back to their senses, An Ning had already reached the hillside, and she handed the rope down: "Tie the bucket." ”
Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling hurriedly tied the bucket to the rope.
An Ning dragged two buckets, and then asked Xiao Ling to grab the rope and come up, and let Xiao Jin wait below.
Xiao Ling grabbed the rope and climbed up the hill, and after he climbed up, he saw a small spring on the top of the hillside.
The spring is small, but the water that comes out is clean.
Seeing this spring, Xiao Ling's heart let go and settled down.
He quickly took a sip of water, and then began to fill the bucket and bladder.
He filled it up, and An Ning hung it down with a rope, and Xiao Jin waited below to answer.
After working for a long time, and finally filled all the tools with water, An Ning let Xiao Ling go down first, Xiao Ling went down, An Ning put away the rope, just like the one who came up, not with the help of the rope, but with the help of the mountain to come down from above.
When they came, the three of them were just holding empty buckets or something, but they could move it, but now they were all filled with water, and it was impossible for the three of them to take it back at once, so they transported it back in batches.
With water, the children were so happy that they all wanted to drink it.
Xiao Yuan didn't let them drink raw water, but made a fire and boiled the water before drinking.
They dug a pit and made a fire, poured some of the water into the water bladder to drink, and filled the rest of the water in a bucket, and when they had boiled the water, they buried the pit with earth that they had used to make the fire, and then they got up and left.
Before leaving, An Ning said to Xiao Jin and Xiao Ling: "We have to go faster, from now on, no one can stop, go as fast as we can." ”
Xiao Ling didn't know why: "Third sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
An Ning pursed her lips: "The weather is dry and dry, be careful of mountain fires." ”
There are a lot of mountains in this area, and there are some dry trees on the mountains, and the wheat in the fields is almost gnawed by locusts, but there are still some yellowish straws left in the ground, and in weather like this, the slightest spark can cause a fire.
If this really burns, I don't know how many people will be burned to death.
