Hua Duxiu understands Lou Qin very well.

Because he was also very thirsty.

Hungry and thirsty, if there is a big peach at this time, it is really good, click a meal to eat, full and quench your thirst.

Unfortunately, there are no peaches here. Along the way, even if there are some unknown wild fruits, they are sour and astringent, and they are very unpalatable.

In fact, most of the delicious and juicy fruits we eat are artificially grafted and cultivated from generation to generation, and there are basically few delicious wild fruits.

Hua Duxiu picked up the wine gourd that Shen Lijia threw on the ground, shook it, and scolded: "This second goods are too drinkable." ”

He had no choice but to untie another wine gourd on his waist, handed it to Lou Qin and said, "Sister Lou, drink slowly, I really can't get two drunkards at a time." ”

Lou Qin's expression was a little embarrassed, and she blushed and said, "I'll just drink a little......

Hua Duxiu handed her the wine gourd, Lou Qin tossed for a day and was really thirsty, picked up the wine gourd and drank a big sip, and then the powder suddenly swelled/red, the eyes stared, and a mouthful of old wine squirted out.

"Ahem, ahem......"

Lou Qin coughed violently, and her whole face turned red and purple.

Fortunately, Hua Duxiu didn't squat in front of her, otherwise he would have to spray him with this sip of wine.

Seeing that Lou Qin was coughing so painfully, Hua Duxiu hurriedly patted her back and said speechlessly:

"Sister Lou, it turns out that you can't drink?"

Lou Qin gasped several times, finally relieved her breath, and said embarrassedly: "Why is it so spicy? I see that the little fat dragon is okay after drinking, I ......"

Hua Duxiu was angry and said: "He spends all day drinking, of course it's okay to drink this little wine, you can't drink and drink blindly." ”

Lou Qin bowed her head and was silent, Hua Duxiu regretted it a little, everyone should not criticize her loudly.

Hua Duxiu said: "How is it, are you comfortable?"

Lou Qin pretended to smile and nodded, "It's better." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "Good hair, you have squirted out this sip of wine, which means that you haven't absorbed any water, where is it?"

"It's hot and humid in this place, we need to find a water source quickly, or we're going to get dehydrated. ”

Lou Qin nodded and said, "I remember that the map shows that if you go to the southeast, there will be a small river. ”

Hua Duxiu came to the spirit: "The southeast direction?

Lou Qin bowed her head and said, "I don't know...... Now I don't know where we are, I just remember that there was a river to the southeast. ”

Hua Duxiu rolled her eyes: "Great, this is equivalent to not saying it." ”

Hua Duxiu simply sat on the ground, and the feeling of tiredness after a long time rushed to his heart again, coupled with the fact that the ghost weather was very hot, which made Hua Duxiu feel like he wanted to vomit.

It's very uncomfortable.

Hua Duxiu didn't speak, and Lou Qin didn't dare to say more.

She was obviously thirsty and hungry, but Hua Duxiu had no water on her, and she couldn't drink, so she had to endure it.

Hua Duxiu looked at the poisonous snakes crawling in front of him, and was a little stupid for a while.

Because Lou Qin sprinkled a lot of snake repellent powder around, their neighborhood became a forbidden area for poisonous snakes, and all the snakes avoided this side.

After thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt sorry for Lou Qin.

People used to be the proprietress in the inn, although they were not rich and expensive, but they also had no worries about food and clothing, if it wasn't for helping herself, how could she venture out of the city?

Even if he was out of the city, for this trip, Lou Qin was looking for a guide and hiring a guard, and it took so much effort to meet the people of the Iron King Temple.

If it weren't for Shen Lijia's voice, it is estimated that the people of the Iron King Temple would have left and would not have come back to check.

Even if they looked back and saw the meaning of everyone in the Iron King Temple, they didn't mean to kill innocents indiscriminately, but they only moved to kill because they found themselves.

It's a sin to have harmed so many lives for nothing.

Speaking of which, all of this is actually to blame him and Shen Lijia.

Shen Lijia was still pulled by him, because he had to rob the Leopard King Gate, and he was afraid of seasickness, so he had to take a detour here.

In the final analysis, it's all his fault.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

Hua Duxiu suddenly turned her head, looked at Lou Qin and said, "Sister Lou, I'm sorry, because I hurt you and everyone to suffer this misfortune, I really can't stand you." ”

Lou Qin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded lightly: "I'm nothing, as long as I go out of the city, the probability of encountering this kind of thing is too great, but Mr. Wang and those big brothers of the guards, alas." ”

Hua Duxiu said seriously: "Sister Lou, when we escape from this ghost place, I will definitely try my best to make up for their families." ”

Lou Qin smiled miserably: "Little White Dragon, you are not from Snake Valley, and you don't know the cheapness of Snake Valley people's lives." ”

She looked up at the sky, the sky was full of white clouds, and the sunset was full of sky.

"In our Snake Valley, if we can live to old age smoothly, it is half the battle. To be able to have a free body and not be caught by robbers and sold as slaves is half the success in this life. In this life, people are too fragile. ”

Hua Duxiu: "......"

Lou Qin said: "So you see, as long as you go out of the city, very few people dare to walk outside. Even if they stay in the city honestly, when the horse bandits attack the city, the unlucky people will still lose all their property, and even they themselves will be sold to unknown places by these robbers and become slaves for the rest of their lives. ”

Hua Duxiu said, "Why don't you leave? Isn't it good to leave the Snake Valley and live in another realm?"

Lou Qin asked, "Where can we go?"

Hua Duxiu said: "Isn't it possible to go to the desert south forest belt in the north and the strange world in the south?"

Lou Qin said: "Do you think that the people here don't want to leave? Those who have the ability have already left, and the rest of the people are either in the hinterland of the Snake Valley and cannot leave, or they are rich and noble, and they are powerful and blessed in the Snake Valley, just like the Emperor of the Earth, there is no need to leave." ”

"To leave the Valley of the Snake, you first have to travel through hundreds or thousands of miles of wilderness. If there are fewer people, they will die in the belly of the snake, and if there are more people, they will attract robbers to arrest them, what do you say?"

Hua Duxiu scratched his head: "According to what you say, it's better to stay in the city honestly." ”

Lou Qin sighed: "Yes, life is not easy. ”

Listening to Lou Qin's slightly hoarse voice, Hua Duxiu felt a sour feeling in her heart and slowly stood up.

He said, "Sister Lou, you can rest here for a while, and I'll come when I go." ”

Lou Qin asked: "Where are you going? There are poisonous snakes everywhere outside the range of snake repellent powder, I see that you are in a trance, don't take the risk of doing stupid things." ”

Hua Duxiu picked up the wine gourd that was empty by Shen Lijia again, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I thought about it just now, according to the distance we are walking now, the river on the map seems to be not far away, I'll go get some water. ”

Lou Qin said, "Then what can I do?"

Hua Duxiu saw that her hair was messy, her face was pale, and her lips began to dry out, and she felt pity in her heart, and whispered:

"Just lie down and rest for a while, just be careful not to get bitten by a snake, haha. ”

Lou Qin smiled: "That can't be, I will use the sword, if a snake dares to crawl over, I will cut it!"

Hua Duxiu nodded and said, "Yes, good job!" Sister Lou, then I'll go." ”

Lou Qin said: "Beware of poisonous snakes. ”

Hua Duxiu left.

At first, he just walked briskly, but when he got out of Lou Qin's sight, Hua Duxiu immediately gritted his teeth and ran wildly, running towards the southeast at a very fast speed.

Where is the so-called river on the map?

He didn't know.

All he knew was that if he didn't look for water, no one would be able to find water for the three of them.

Along the way, Hua Duxiu picked a lot of wild fruits, and he ate several of them despite the sour taste. There was a churn in his stomach and he almost vomited, Hua Duxiu hurriedly took a sip of wine and suppressed this uncomfortable energy.

Where are you, O abominable river?

Hua Duxiu ran wildly in the wilderness, the long sword in his hand flew quickly, and all the poisonous snakes in front of him flew away.

An hour later, the sky was getting dark, and the almost desperate Young Master Hua climbed a hundred-zhang high mountain.

After climbing up, Hua Duxiu suddenly burst into tears, looked up to the sky and sighed, God, I finally found this river!

At sunset, the surface of the water glows with a golden glow that is simply more precious than gold.

In the face of the most fundamental physiological needs, a gold ingot the size of a fist is not as valuable as a steamed bun.

Hua Duxiu squinted her eyes and looked carefully into the distance, in all four directions, there were endless contiguous low mountains, and between the mountains were dark green forests, and there were no traces of people at all.

Qingjin City, I don't know where. The Golden Horn, there is no shadow in sight.

Alas, take one step at a time.

Seeing that the sunset was about to set, Hua Duxiu hurriedly ran down the hill and rushed to the small river in one go.

The river is not very deep, no more than three or four zhang wide, and can only be regarded as a small river.

Fortunately, the water is still clear and does not look poisonous.

Of course, this is just how it looks.

This ghost place is full of poisonous snakes, Hua Duxiu is very suspicious, if those poisonous snakes also come to the river to drink water, will they accidentally pollute this drinking water?

Countless poisonous snakes crawled around by the river, making Young Master Hua even more careless.

Hua Duxiu was very vigilant and endured several endurances, but he didn't drink these raw waters.

He poured all the wine in the gourd, filled the stream with water, and returned quickly from memory.

Along the way, he picked a lot of wild fruits, whether they were good or not, at least he didn't have diarrhea after eating them for so long, obviously this thing can be eaten, and there is nothing wrong with eating it.

Back to the place where Lou Qin and Shen Lijia rested, it was completely dark, and Lou Qin had already picked up many branches and lit a small bonfire.

Shen Lijia also woke up, he was still sighing and rubbing his buttocks, his face was very ruddy.

Seeing Hua Duxiu coming back quickly, Shen Lijia was overjoyed: "Brother-in-law, sister...... Ah, little white dragon, you're back!"

"Did you find water?"

Hua Duxiu said angrily: "I found it, but this water may be poisonous and cannot be drunk directly." ”

Hua Duxiu sat on the ground with her buttocks, covered in sweat.

He was a little overwhelmed by the day's travel.

Shen Lijia snatched the gourd in Hua Duxiu's hand and shook it, ho, the two gourds were full of water.

Shen Lijia frowned and said, "Isn't this water? Why can't you drink it directly?

Hua Duxiu said angrily: "The three people present, you drank a lot, what do you want to do after drinking a whole can of wine?"

Shen Lijia put the wine gourd on the ground, turned over and said, "Little White Dragon, look at my ass." ”

Hua Duxiu frowned, and Shen Lijia had already pulled down his pants, revealing half of his white ass gang.

Lou Qin covered her mouth and chuckled, and quietly turned her face to pick up the bonfire.

The little fat man's buttocks were swollen from the snake's bite, and the two needle holes had turned dark purple.

Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Hey, it's really poisonous?"

Shen Lijia said: "I said a long time ago that I was bitten by a poisonous snake, but you still don't believe it! I can't drink alcohol when I'm poisoned, drinking alcohol will react, I have to drink water." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "No, that's not what you said when you snatched my gourd." ”

Shen Lijia: "...... I don't care, I want to drink water. ”

"By the way, little white dragon, we have a lot of food and water in the carriage, why don't you go and see what you can get back?"

Hua Duxiu said depressedly: "I went, the carriage was burned by them, and there was no hair left." ”

Shen Lijia sighed and slammed his fist on the ground: "These bastards! wasting food is the biggest shame!"

Hua Duxiu said: "In this way, you have the greatest strength, go and move a stone here, use this sword to cut a stone mortar, let's boil this water and drink it." ”

Shen Lijia was overjoyed: "Okay!"

Immediately, he wilted again: "But sister...... Little White Dragon, I don't have the strength. ”

Hua Duxiu still put the cloth bag on his back in front of him, and said angrily: "There are wild fruits here, you two should fill your stomachs first." ”

Shen Lijia was overjoyed again, and hurriedly grabbed the largest one and stuffed it into his mouth, took a bite hard, and his brows wrinkled into pimples again: "Little White Dragon, what kind of fruit is this, it's so unpalatable......"

Hua Duxiu rolled her eyes: "If you don't eat it, I'll spit it out!"

Of course, Shen Lijia won't spit it out, it's better to be unpleasant than not to eat at all.

Hua Duxiu said: "Listen to me, I'll catch a few snakes now, Sister Lou, you are responsible for lighting the fire, Jiajia, you are responsible for making the stone mortar, let's make a pot of snake meat soup tonight." ”

Lou Qin was taken aback: "What, you want to eat snakes?"

Hua Duxiu said: "If you don't eat snakes, you can really only gnaw on tree bark and eat soil." Don't worry, Sister Lou, I'll find a few big meaty and non-toxic ones, to ensure that you taste the same as eating beef and donkey meat. ”

Lou Qin sighed: "I have to do this." ”

The three of them each ate a few wild fruits, recovered a little, and immediately took action.
