Hua Duxiu gently tapped his head, thinking carefully about the map in his memory.

From Golden Horn City to Qingjin City, the straight-line distance is about 200 miles.

Of course, because of the terrain, they had to go over mountains and mountains, and because they had to avoid robbers and horse bandits, they had to take many detours back and forth.

Even if it is a detour, only a distance of 200 miles, Hua Duxiu believes that he will never be mistaken, and he can see the geomorphological features along the way carefully from the map, and he remembers it clearly.

Hua Duxiu looked around again, and then chose a high ground and climbed up cautiously.

He swept all the way with his sword, and picked up all the poisonous snakes in front of him.

Young Master Hua wondered, there are so many poisonous snakes, what do they eat?

No matter how many rats, lizards, and birds there are in the field, they can't withstand so many snakes.

He touched his body, and it was broken.

Just pondering what these snakes eat, forgetting what they eat.

It will be noon in a while, and I will eat so little breakfast and fight again, and I will definitely be hungry at noon.

So the question is, what do I eat?

Not to mention rabbits, sheep and the like, except for snakes, you can't really see hair.

Young Master Hua is worried.

He stood on the top of the hillside and looked around, far and near were all small hills, green and lush, and the vegetation was quite dense.

After watching it for a long time, not to mention Shen Lijia's shadow, he couldn't even see the shadow of the people in the Iron King Temple.

However, after taking a closer look, Young Master Hua found the official road, and there seemed to be black smoke curling out of the official road.

After all, the official road is a dirt road, and there is not much grass, and from this point of view, the official road looks like a small snake the thickness of a toothpick.

Hua Duxiu said secretly, why did I run so far?

This guy, I'm afraid it will be half a day younger to run back, but I don't know where Jiajia fled, in case I chase after me, where are they hiding and waiting for me, wouldn't it be a big delay?

After thinking about it, Young Master Hua couldn't think of a good way to come, he was really thirsty, hungry, tired and tired when the sun was shining, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Hua Duxiu touched his waist, where two wine gourds were tied.

Hua Duxiu scolded: "These drunkards, what are you doing when you go out and bring so much wine, can't you bring more water?"

These words really wronged those guards, they brought a lot of clear water, but the water was in the water bag, Hua Duxiu ran away in a hurry, and he didn't care about rummaging, so he had to pick up two gourds and go first.

Young Master Hua opened the mouth of the gourd, and immediately a pungent smell of wine rushed out.

Hua Duxiu's sword frowned deeply, and he looked at the wine gourd in his hand with a hesitant expression.

To drink, or not to drink?

Drink it, I hate drinking, and this wine is a strong wine when it smells, and the degree is very high, which is exactly the kind that Young Master Hua hates.

Don't drink it, you're thirsty!

Young Master Hua put down the wine gourd, and looked around carefully again, he wanted to find a small river or a stream or something, one was to catch some water to drink, and the other was to see if he could catch a few fish to satisfy his hunger.

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see any river except for the mountains and trees.

Or maybe there is a stream, but the forest is too dense and obscured to be seen.

Hua Duxiu sighed and said to herself: "Create evil, create evil, time is also life, drink!"

"Knock knock...... Ahem, ahem!"

After taking a big sip, Hua Duxiu almost choked, and quickly endured the hot feeling in his throat and eyes.

Not to mention, although the alcohol content is high, it is not enough to drink two sips.

After all, pure grain wine is delicious!

You can't drink too much if it's good, what if you're really drunk?

It's a wilderness here, but poisonous snakes crawl everywhere, and you must not get drunk, otherwise you will be bitten by a poisonous snake, and you won't know how you will die.

When he thought of death, Hua Duxiu thought of the guards and that old Mr. Wang.

Alas, I'm so sorry for them.

People just collect money to do things, lead the way, and guide the way, but they didn't expect to send their lives in such a place where ghosts and shadows can't be seen.

It's really eyeless.

The evil Iron King Temple, killing innocents in vain, is really damned!

Hua Duxiu muttered a few words indignantly, looked at the slender official road looming in the mountains and forests, sighed, and went down the mountain silently.

Hua Duxiu shuttled quickly through the forest, came to the official road by feeling, and found the place where they were attacked before.

There are a few more dirt bags on the ground, and it should be the Iron King Temple that buried the dead.

They're gone.

Hua Duxiu sat on the ground with her buttocks, her face full of loss.

The three horses pulling the cart were all poisoned by poisonous snakes and fell to the ground motionless, and the carriage was set on fire by the people of the Iron King Temple and burned to ashes.

No wonder I saw black smoke coming out, the feeling was that the dog thieves of the Iron King Temple burned the carriage and supplies.

My dry food, my water......

Hua Duxiu wanted to cry without tears, it was useless to wait here, he had to cheer up and stand up again.

Hua Duxiu respectfully bowed three times to those dirt bags and read:

"Brothers, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault that you lost your lives here, when I find Sister Lou, I will definitely give her a sum of silver, and when she returns to Golden Horn City one day, she will compensate your family well. Don't blame me, I'm helpless to be hunted down so far......"

After saying goodbye, Hua Duxiu sighed and turned to leave.

According to the route set by Mr. Wang before, they were originally going to break away from the official road and take a small road in this vicinity. Hua Duxiu relied on his memory and chased all the way in the direction where Shen Lijia fled.

For some reason, Hua Duxiu was thirsty again.

Drinking this kind of thing, at first taking a big sip, it seems to be very enjoyable and thirst-quenching.

However, after drinking alcohol, it will speed up blood flow, sweat profusely, and be more likely to trigger thirst.

Hua Duxiu took two big sips, although he didn't go up, he didn't get drunk, but he became more and more thirsty.

Keep drinking?

If you drink a hair, if you drink it again, it's not a matter of thirst or not, but if you really get drunk!

Hua Duxiu swallowed his saliva, thinking about what sour dates, sour apricots, sour plums, and strong thirst, just hurried away.

From noon to evening, Hua Duxiu became more and more cold, and the more desperate she became.

Oh my God, how many miles have I had to walk here? How many mountains have I turned?

Where is the dead fat man hiding? Didn't you say that you would let him flee to the south, this kid must have turned crooked!

In the past half a day, Hua Duxiu just picked a few unknown wild fruits, endured the bitter and astringent taste and ate a few, and finally relieved a little thirst.

But his stomach was growling with hunger, and his whole body was getting weaker and weaker.

was about to be unable to walk, Young Master Hua even decided not to look for it, and just as he was about to lie down on the spot, a shout suddenly came from not far away:

"Ah, isn't that the little white dragon! little fat dragon, wake up, wake up!"

Hua Duxiu immediately perked up, this voice is Lou Qin!

Hua Duxiu almost jumped up and shouted, "Sister Lou, Sister Lou, it's me!"

Hua Duxiu ran over with a smoke, and finally got together with Shen Lijia and Lou Qin.

Lou Qin is okay, except that her face is slightly pale and her expression is a little haggard, there is no big problem.

Shen Lijia is in a very bad state.

His lips were a little white, his eyes were diar, he was lying there panting, and his mouth kept "oops, oops".

Lou Qin took a piece of bark and fanned him incessantly.

Hua Duxiu frowned: "Sister Lou, what's wrong with him?"

Lou Qin said: "He was bitten by a snake!"

Hua Duxiu was taken aback: "Bitten by a snake?"

Lou Qin said anxiously: "Yes, I didn't bring antidote powder, how can this be good?"

Hua Duxiu asked, "How long has he been poisoned?"

Lou Qin said, "It's been an hour!"

Hua Duxiu frowned slightly, and asked, "It's been so long, and the poison of this poisonous snake isn't that great." ”

"Aren't you wearing leather pants, why are you still being bitten?"

Lou Qin was a little embarrassed: "He ...... He was bitten on the ass. ”

Hua Duxiu was stunned, turned Shen Lijia over, ripped off his belt, and sure enough, he saw two thin eyes like needlepoints on his cheeks, and there were bruises around the thin eyes, and there was no ulceration or pus.

Hua Duxiu tied his trousers and sighed, "It's been too long, and the venom has dispersed." ”

Lou Qin said: "I know, when I was first bitten, I said to cut off the piece of meat for him, he was afraid of pain, not that the snake that bit him was not poisonous, who knows......"

Hua Duxiu looked at Shen Lijia's face again, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You said you wanted to cut a piece of his flesh, of course he didn't agree, you don't know how precious this kid is to his own flesh." ”

"But looking at him, even if the snake that bit him was poisonous, it wouldn't be too venomous. The little fat man has deep internal strength and should be able to carry it. ”

Shen Lijia heard Hua Duxiu's voice and asked in a daze, "Brother-in-law, are you back?"

Hua Duxiu squatted in front of Shen Lijia and patted him on the shoulder: "I'm back, why are you so careless?

Shen Lijia said angrily: "a fart, you've seen too much martial arts, the venom is in my blood, how can I force it, do you want me to bleed......"

Hua Duxiu rolled her eyes, snorted lightly and didn't speak.

Shen Lijia looked at Hua Duxiu and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you bring water?" Me, I'm so thirsty, Sister Lou is so heavy, carrying her for so far can make me tired......

Hua Duxiu was surprised: "No, you carried Sister Lou all the way from the official road to fight here?"

Lou Qinxiao blushed and said: "I, I'm timid, I'm afraid of snakes, he ...... in a hurry."

Hua Duxiu understood, the feeling was that the little fat man was in a hurry to escape, Lou Qin was afraid of the poisonous snake in the grass and didn't dare to walk quickly, so the little fat man had to carry her all the way to this place.

Oh my God, can that not be tired?

Even if you are not tired, thirst is certain, and fat people are most likely to sweat.

Hua Duxiu apologized: "Jiajia, I don't have water, I only picked up two wine gourds and came back......"

Shen Lijia's eyes lit up: "Wine gourd, wine is okay, give me a drink!"

Hua Duxiu frowned, covered the wine gourd around his waist and said, "You are poisoned, wouldn't it be easier to die of poison if you drink again?"

Shen Lijia hurriedly said: "Poison hair is a fart, don't you know that alcohol can detoxify? Besides, the snake is not poisonous at all, I am just dehydrated! Give it to me!"

Shen Lijia straightened his waist violently, snatched the wine gourd on Hua Duxiu's body, opened the plug and poured it violently.

Hua Duxiu sighed and said secretly, let him go.

It's better to die of drunkenness than to die of thirst.

Shen Lijia drank the wine gourd in one go, so unhappy.

Hua Duxiu estimated that the wine of this gourd was about two catties heavy, even if Shen Lijia had a good amount of wine, such a way of drinking would definitely be drunk.

Sure enough, Shen Lijia threw the empty wine gourd to the ground, burped, and the feeling of sleepiness hit his heart, and he leaned against the tree and fell asleep.

It's just that his face is a lot more ruddy, and it really doesn't look like he has been poisoned.

Is alcohol really detoxifying?

Hua Duxiu doesn't know, anyway, looking at Shen Lijia's satisfied look, it is definitely impossible to die of poison.

Lou Qin and Hua Duxiu looked at each other.

Lou Qin asked in a low voice, "You, do you still have wine?"

The corners of Hua Duxiu's mouth grinned: "What do you want to do?"

Lou Qin's face was flushed and said, "I'm also thirsty......"
