Chapter 23: Drawing the Knife
Yao Changsheng slandered in his heart: After so many years of fighting in the south and the north, although the march map has long been deeply engraved in his mind, the Central Plains is a nightmare for his life, and it is also a memory that he does not want to touch.
So in his last life, he never set foot on this land again.
It is reasonable that this map does not match the reality, after all, this map is very rough, not as detailed as the sand table.
Tao Qini rolled her eyes in her heart: I'll take care of my mother, and it's God's love that a few of them can live until now.
It is no wonder that the Tao family and Yao Changsheng also learn from each other's strengths.
For the Tao family, who have never traveled far, he is a guide; For the little master, the Tao family can take care of him in life.
But they all underestimated the impact of the drought.
"Should?" Tao Qini lay on the straw mat and muttered, "Even if you don't have it, you should be." ”
"This drought has lasted so long that many rivers have stopped." Yao Changsheng said in frustration, "You can see it from the dry riverbed. The branch in his hand pointed to the cracked tunnel not far away, "That's the river!" ”
"That crack feels like it's going to be able to stuff me in." Tao Liuyi tilted his head and looked at the huge crack and said, "It's over, it's over, this crack is bigger than the land temple, isn't the drought more serious!" ”
"You're a dog who can't spit ivory out of his mouth, so you can't say anything good." Tao Fifteen reached out and slapped him on the back of the head.
It's just that he didn't have any strength at all, and the person fell on Tao Liuyi's body instead.
"Daddy! Save your energy! Tao Liuyi helped him and let Tao Fifteen lie beside him.
Tao Qini sat on the mat, leaning on the bare tree trunk, looking at Yao Changsheng not far away, "Where is the Yellow River?" How far is it from us? ”
The other tributaries are broken, and the Yellow River should not be! Find the Yellow River, walk along it to the east, theoretically you should be able to live, isn't there a big carp in the Yellow River!
Thinking of the Yellow River carp, damn it, this thirsty one can't even secrete saliva.
Yao Changsheng straightened up and drew a section of the Yellow River, "Here!" ”
"That's pretty close to us." Tao Liuyi smiled stupidly, "We can walk over." Pulling Tao Fifteen's clothes, he said, "Dad, look at this short distance." "The fingers are about three inches long.
"Hehe......" Yao Changsheng was amused by his innocent words, and his face was ashen with a smile, "This is a map, a short distance, I can't say that we will walk for ten days, half a month, or even a month or two." ”
"Ahh Tao Liuyi was like being beaten by frost, wilting.
"Besides, I don't know if the Yellow River will be cut off or diverted." Yao Changsheng propped his hands on the ground and leaned towards the trunk of the tree.
"Why?" Tao Liuyi asked puzzled.
Yao Changsheng raised his eyelids and looked at them reluctantly, "It was still flooded in previous years!" The water flows to a lower place, and it is normal to divert it. ”
"That is to say, even if we go to the edge of the Yellow River, it is uncertain whether there is water or not." Tao Liuyi lay on the ground and hummed in his mouth.
"If we don't find a water source on the road, we guess it will be difficult for us to get there." Yao Changsheng looked at them honestly and said, his voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.
They are like fish on the shore, desperately struggling, fluttering, waiting for them to be dried into small dried fish!
Tao Shifu had red eyes, a sour nose, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I'm sorry for you!" ”
"Say what? Father! Tao Liuyi tilted his head slightly and looked at him and said.
"Dad has no ability, let you follow me to suffer." Tao 15 fell into deep self-blame, "Reincarnate in the next life and be a good person." ”
"This life is not over yet! Think about what the next life. Tao Qini looked at him with dark eyes and said.
"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone." Tao 15 looked at the yellow earth under his feet and said, "We can't get out." ”
Yao Changsheng straightened up, leaned forward, and stared at the skinny Tao Shifu Dao with clear eyes, "Listen! Never give up until the last minute. Looking at Tao Shifu, who was buried by self-loathing, he said sharply, "Give up your life and go to hell after death, you can't vote for your so-called good people." He looked at them firmly and said, "Even if there is a breath here, climb and climb." ”
"I'm tired, I can't walk anymore, let's go!" Shen's voice fluttered, and now she felt that her eyes were black and her hair was confused! It was as if people were flying, fluttering.
"Mother, don't close your eyes, open your eyes." Tao Qini looked at Shen's face beside her, crawled over, looked at the dilated pupils and no focus, patted her cheek vigorously and said, "Don't sleep, wake up." ”
Tao Qini naturally saw that Shen had a slight heat stroke, weakness in his limbs, dizziness, and lack of concentration, as long as he got out of the hot environment, moved to a cool place, and drank some water, he could recover in a short time.
Fortunately, fortunately, the complexion is not flushed, the skin is not hot, and the limbs are not withdrawn, but if it continues, the consequences are unpredictable.
Tao Qini clenched her fists, she really couldn't stun them, but only water couldn't do it! After walking for so long, I haven't seen any beasts.
It's just prolonging life, but it can't save life!
What a damn one!
"What's wrong with your mother?" Tao fifteen sat up when he heard this, crawled over with his hands and feet and looked at her and said.
"Man has heat stroke!" Yao Changsheng raised his eyelids and looked at them.
"What do you mean?" Tao Liuyi sat up, looked at Shen Shi, looked at Yao Changsheng and asked with a confused expression.
"In short, you can't live today without water." Yao Changsheng's dark eyes did not have any temperature, and he said coldly.
"What?" Tao Fifteen looked at him in shock and said, "But where can I get water for her!" Looking up at the blue sky, there was earthy yellow everywhere, and he was at a loss, muttering to himself, "Water, water......"
Tao Liuyi crawled over and pounced on Shen's body, "Mother, mother!" ”
"Get up, get up, you're holding my mother." Tao Qini stretched out her hand and pulled him up, "Mother is too hot, hurry up and fan the fan, the grass fan for the fire." ”
"Oh oh oh!" Tao Liuyi climbed into the wheelbarrow and came over with a broken fan from above, hula, hula fan.
Tao Qini saw that her eyes gradually became focused, and asked softly, "Mother, can you see me?" Can you hear me? ”
"What's wrong with me?" Shen blinked and looked at her with confused eyes.
"How do you feel? Dizziness? Tao Qini looked at her worriedly and asked.
Shen shook his head when he heard this, and said in a hoarse and weak voice, "Dizzy! He looked at her cautiously and said, "May I get some water?" After waiting for a long time to see her respond, he immediately said, "I didn't say it." ”
Rub...... Suddenly, Tao Fifteen pulled out the black knife with a hideous face.
