After the second day, the three Shen Ci brothers followed Xu Dai and them on the road. After all, everyone drank together last night, so no matter how familiar they were, Wei Qi could also laugh with Shen Ci and the others.

When Wei Qi knew how the three brothers Xu Dai and Shen Ci met, he felt that this meeting was familiar. When Xu Dai and Zhang Zaiqi met for the first time, they also had a fight. However, no one thought at that time that Xu Dai and they would eventually become friends with Zhang Zaiqi.

And Xu Dai got acquainted with Shen Ci and the three of them after a fight with Zhu Ling, which naturally made Wei Qi feel that everything was amazing. Among the people Xu Dai met, many of them met through fighting.

When Wei Qi said what he was thinking, Shen Ci and the three of them all laughed together. Now that Xu Dai and the others are in Bai Zhen's team, they are absolute authority, and the situation of someone sneering at Xu Dai at the beginning will naturally not appear again. Not to mention that Xu Dai and Wei Qi's strength realm is Tongyu, these people don't dare to gossip, just say that the two have saved the team many times, and this group of people are very grateful to Xu Dai and Wei Qi.

"Miss Bai Zhen, how long are we from where we want to go?" Shen Ci walked to Bai Zhen's side while he was resting and asked.

Bai Zhen said: "Mr. Shen, if we rush at our current speed, we should be able to arrive in ten days at most." ”

"In other words, there are three thousand miles at most?" Shen Ci said softly, and Bai Zhen nodded.

The entire Western District is only 8,000 miles at most, that is to say, plus the previous journey, Xu Dai and they have walked a small half of the Western District.

However, with Dayuan Ma walking, it is naturally not difficult for Xu Dai to complete these eight thousand miles. The distance of 3,000 miles is just a target that can be reached in three or four days for Dayuan Ma. The power of the Dayuan horse can also be seen, and it is the ability of the Dayuan horse to rush that makes many people salivate.

It's just that two of the three Dayuan horses that Xu Dai took away from Ju'e have been lost, one Dayuan horse was taken away by Cheng Liang, and the other horse was ridden away by the bloody hand, and now Xu Dai only has one Dayuan horse.

However, even if the three horses are there, Xu Dai must slow down, Bai Zhen's people don't have Dayuan horses, so Xu Dai naturally can't abandon Bai Zhen and them to hurry.

There were no more accidents along the way, and at first, Xu Dai was worried that the bloody hand might heal his injuries and prepare for revenge in the dark. However, seven days have passed, and Xu Dai has not found any clues.

So Xu Dai finally determined that the bloody hand should not come back, after all, the bloody hand also had injuries on his legs, and he didn't wait for the bloody hand for seven consecutive days, which proved that the bloody hand should have gone away to recuperate. Maybe at this moment, the bloody hand has already arrived in Suzhou City, where Bai Zhen is going.

However, although Xu Dai had such a guess in his heart, he still let Wei Qi,

Both Fluttershy and Bai Zhen should be careful, as prevention is the best thing to do.

As soon as noon passed today, Xu Dai heard Bai Zhen say that the kettles in the team were out of water, and the dry food was almost gone.

Xu Dai nodded slightly, everyone faced such a problem two days ago, but at that time, Xu Dai took out a lot of water from his Dayuan horse's bag, and let everyone spend these two days. However, Xu Dai's water naturally couldn't hold up to Sioux City, so Bai Zhen brought it up today.

"Let's find a place to rest later, everyone is waiting there, and I, Wei Qi and Zhu Ling, I, and I will go around to find water." Xu Dai was also really thirsty, and he only felt that his throat was about to smoke.

Xu Dai hasn't drunk a sip of water since last night, and coupled with today's exposure to the sun, Xu Dai is naturally very thirsty.

The task of finding the water source in the past two days was also handed over to Xu Dai, Wei Qi and Zhu Ling, and Shen Ci and Lei Tong stayed with the team. However, the three of them have never harvested, and it is very difficult to find any lakes and rivers in the desert.

Xu Dai was already very lucky after meeting it a few times, and now he is getting deeper and deeper into the western area, and there are more and more sand and gravels, and correspondingly, there is not much savings in water sources.

Xu Dai and they could only hope that they could see some towns, and as long as they could find them, they would definitely have water to drink.

After Bai Zhen and the others found a relatively cool place to rest, Xu Dai went to find a water source with Wei Qi and Zhu Ling.

"Brother Xu, how can we find water? If there is no store in front of the village here, it will be in vain for us to look for a few more days, if you want me to say, it is better for everyone to rush at full speed, so that we can get to the town in front of us to ask for two mouthfuls of water to drink." Zhu Ling rode a horse and complained to Xu Dai, Xu Dai naturally turned a deaf ear to Zhu Ling's complaints, and Xu Dai was too lazy to waste saliva and say these useless words to Zhu Ling.

After all, if Xu Dai could answer Zhu Ling's words, Xu Dai would have taken everyone there directly. Where would you waste time and effort searching in the desert?

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Wei Qi knew that Zhu Ling was a character who became more and more energetic the more he ignored and talked, so he said to Zhu Ling: "Brother Zhu Ling, Brother Xu doesn't know where to find water." Instead of complaining, let's save some strength. ”

Although Zhu Ling said this, he naturally didn't really complain about Xu Dai. So Zhu Ling nodded and said, "Then let's find a water source as soon as possible." ”

Xu Dai nodded slightly, then raised his horsewhip and rushed out. Zhu Ling and Wei Qi then also rode out on horseback.

The luck of the three of them was not bad, and after walking for half an hour, they saw a small town standing in the desert.

Seeing that there was really a town, the three of Xu Dai all glanced at each other in surprise, and then

And he went into the town.

There has always been a saying in the desert that "a bucket of water races and a tael of gold", although this sentence is suspected of exaggeration, but it does highlight the importance of water in the desert. Although a bucket of water cannot be exchanged for a tael of gold, there is no way to have a tael of silver.

Xu Dai and the three of them walked in the town, and Xu Dai found a family casually and pushed the door in. As soon as I entered, I saw a well in the courtyard, and there were men and women plowing the fields, watering the vegetables in the yard.

"What are you guys going to do?"

When the man saw Xu Dai and them pushing the door in, he looked at Xu Dai and the three of them with a hoe and asked Xu Dai. From the man's expression, Xu Dai could also see that the man was indeed very wary of Xu Dai.

Xu Dai hurriedly took down all the empty kettles that he was carrying immediately, and said to the man: "Brother, we passed by here, so we came in and wanted to buy water from you." ”

As soon as the man heard that Xu Dai was going to buy water, the expression on his face softened a lot. The man walked to the well, and very simply put a lot of cool water in the bucket, and said to Xu Dai: "You can have as much water as you want, as for the money to buy water, just give a little bit, anyway, there is no shortage of water in the town, so you don't have to give too much." ”

The man's words undoubtedly won the favor of the three of Xu Dai, but Xu Dai still took out a full ingot of gold from his bag. Xu Dai handed the gold to the man and said, "Brother, give it." ”

The man was taken aback by Xu Dai's bold move, where had he ever seen someone buy water with gold? So the man just looked at the gold in Xu Dai's hand for a while, and was stunned and didn't reach out to take it.

However, Xu Dai gave the gold to the man and said, "In addition to buying water, we also have to buy some dry food from the elder brother, and you can accept this ingot of gold, elder brother." ”

The man took the gold and did not refuse, and then he reacted and said to the woman, "Why don't you go and get meat and grain?"

As soon as the woman heard the man's words, she reacted and hurried into the house.

The man stayed in the courtyard to help Xu Dai put the water in the bucket into the kettle, and also said a few words to Xu Dai by the way, it was the first time he saw such a heroic person as Xu Dai come to buy water.

The family is very kind, Xu Dai can see from the water given by the man, from the large bag of jerky and dry cakes taken out by the woman.

These things aren't worth exactly a penion of gold, but they're about the same. At least that's how it seems to Xu Dai.

Smiled and took the food from the woman's hand, and hung the kettle on the horse's back, Xu Dai prepared to leave the place. But then, the door of the house was kicked open.

"Do you know why I'm here?"

"I've heard someone is coming to buy water, yes or no?"
