Chapter 40: The Beginning of the Drought
raised his eyes and looked at the green bamboo that looked like a piece of wood, and after so many days, he was still full of fairy spirit, and he didn't hide it. What did you say to Gu Tianxing, just a group of mortals, there is no need to accommodate them.
Gu Tianxing was choked speechless, and the prepared words were stuck in his throat. After all, people are not wrong, he has been a demon for more than a hundred years, and there is really no need to wronged himself.
The big guy next to him cleaned up, quickly drank the leftover water in the water bladder and bamboo tube, and ran to the upper reaches of the river to refill it.
When it was over, the men also happily jumped into the water and stabbed a few fierce men, which was called a pleasure.
The women were envious, but they could only wash their faces and arms, and then busied themselves with the evening's meal.
Now it's hot, and I can't stop eating. Those dry food and meat can't be left for two days and will go straight to the nose. The thought of this made many old ladies who were in charge of the family's food feel a pain in their hearts.
Gu Tai held the last ten catties of cured meat upside down in his hand, picked it up and put it down, put it down and picked it up again. I couldn't do it in my heart, and it happened that at this time, Mao Mao from the fourth uncle's family ran over and clapped his little hands happily:
"Today, there is meat to eat again, Maomao wants to eat two bowls of rice!"
"Eat, eat, eat, know to eat! It's all for you to eat, and we're all starving to death, okay? A bunch of heartless ones. ”
The old lady had a dark face, and the fourth aunt Bai was frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her son over.
Maomao was so frightened that she cried, and as soon as the child cried, Chai Niu also howled.
Gu Tai was already on fire in his heart, picked up the thin branch used to burn the fire, rushed to him, and pumped it towards the buttocks of the two little guys.
Bai had the heart to protect the child, but he didn't stop it, and he was pumped several times. Gu Tianxing pulled the sleeve of Ragu Anxia's coat and motioned for him to hurry up and persuade him.
Who knew that her fourth uncle said calmly:
"It's okay, your grandmother knows how to measure, and it can't be broken. Let her spread fire, or sooner or later there will be a big move! ”
Gu Tianxing was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while. These days, the temperature is getting hotter and hotter, and the temper of the crowd is getting bigger and bigger. There are countless people who beat and scold children and quarrel with each other.
Except for Widow Wang and Gu Xiao, there was no quarrel. In the other six households, there is noise almost every day.
Fortunately, everyone was too tired to travel during the day, and none of them staged an all-armed operation, at most it was just a war of words.
This is the sorrow of the poor, the year of famine. Looking at the food that I had tried to save before, now it was all in my stomach, and I would rather die than be willing to throw it down.
I don't know how many days the rest of the food can last. This kind of despair of not being able to see the future and find no vitality is overwhelming.
Gu Tai beat the child a few times, turned around and picked up the piece of meat, gritted her teeth and let the daughters-in-law fry them all. I touched the empty basket, hey, the eggs and meat are all finished now, and Tuan Tuan can only eat some coarse grains in the future.
Gu Tianxing looked at Gu Tai who was silently wiping away his tears, and he couldn't bear it. Sitting lightly beside her, he whispered:
"Milk, I have a lot of delicious food in my bag, you are distressed, our family is not short of food."
Gu Tai touched her head lovingly, thinking that it was a loss to have such a granddaughter, otherwise I was afraid that I would not have any way to live.
As if he remembered something, he looked around and said nervously: "Are you spoiled with the food in your bag?" ”
"No, the one stored in the bag is protected by the immortal law, and it will look like a fresh one when you take it out."
Gu Tai was relieved to hear such an answer, and after a while, she slapped her thigh with remorse. Why didn't you let your granddaughter save more food in the first place? Hey, I'm really confused, and my brain is not good.
When he set off again, the big guy was even more hesitant, this realm has already done like this, and he is afraid that it will only be worse if he goes forward. Don't run for a long time, I'm really thirsty and die halfway there!
Gu Dad and Gu Anxia came to their granddaughter (niece) again to discuss:
"Tuan Tuan, do you think we should fill all those pots and pans with water?"
Gu Tianxing couldn't, so he had to spread his divine sense again to see if there was any water source on the road ahead.
Xu is related to the spiritual technique of her cultivation, and her current divine consciousness can cover a hundred miles of land. Qingzhu was about to break through the fifth layer of Qi training, but it was only one mile in size.
Everywhere the Divine Consciousness could reach, it was mostly a scorched yellow thatch. There are a few shades of green, most of which are half yellow from the shrubs, and the half hidden at the bottom is still green.
Because the two ponds on the bright side were dry and only a piece of mud remained, Gu Tianxing had to look for water sources extremely carefully.
It was a tiring job that consumed spiritual energy, and fine beads of sweat were already forming on her head.
Qingzhu watched from the sidelines, only thinking that he should be stronger, and he couldn't let Miss work so hard all the time, but he was watching.
Finally, Gu Tianxing found a clump of emerald green weeds under a cluster of dry sweet quinoa, and there was not a trace of yellowing on the leaves.
Cast his consciousness at the moment, and this place was in the middle and upper reaches of a dry stream. There was a hole the size of a bowl in the ground under the weeds, and it was full of clear water.
Digging further, it turned out that there was a dark river underground, and the water came up, and this small hole naturally would not dry. And because it is next to the stream, the cave is covered with sand and stones, and the water is filtered layer by layer, which is naturally very clear.
Gu Tianxing withdrew his divine sense and explained the situation to her grandfather. The old father frowned: There is water a hundred miles away from here? It seems that everyone has to save at least two days of water to bring with them.
People are okay to say, but it is barely feasible for each family to bring water bladders and bamboo tubes to drink for a day or two. But the animals can't be grieved, they have to drink water several times a day. The weather is so hot, and the road is so long, if the water supply is insufficient, I am afraid that I will lose my temper and refuse to move the place.
Gu Anxia took his father's instructions, and said in a flicker:
The second tip given by Master Tuan Tuan was opened at the beginning of the drought. Now that the time has come, I opened it and saw that it was pointing out a source of water hundreds of miles away.
These words couldn't hide Qingzhu's ears, he walked up to Gu Tianxing, hesitated a little and asked:
This statement is full of flaws. Why should Miss bother so much, it is better to simply take her own family away. ”
Gu Tianxing didn't know if the big guy was pretending to be stupid, or if he was really so superstitious. Anyway, as long as it comes to her master's instructions, none of the seven families who escaped from Daao Village don't believe it.
As for why she had to find a way to bring these people with her, she didn't quite understand it herself, but probably the kindness in human nature played a role.
Qingzhu heard this, but he didn't understand it very well, after all, he couldn't be considered a human anymore.
Anyway, I must be unwilling to let myself escape with a group of mortals in such trouble. Except for the young lady, there are probably few people in this world who are willing to do such a stupid thing.
Thinking of this, he looked down at Gu Tianxing, and couldn't help but discuss:
Well, what the young lady did can't be called stupid. If it weren't for her kind nature, she probably wouldn't have helped herself escape from the sea of suffering. In the future, as long as the young lady wants to do something, I will try my best to help her complete it.
Qingzhu didn't know that Gu Tianxing helped him purely because of his face, as for kindness or something, there was no such thing at all.
While the two were chatting, the big guy had already filled the water and was ready to go.
Fortunately, the places where I put food before were empty, and now there are a few basins and jars of water, but it has little impact.
The ancient father felt that his granddaughter's insight into heaven this time must have consumed a lot of money. In order to let her eat openly, she simply asked Qingzhu to put a bamboo basket on her back. Tell your granddaughter what she wants to eat, and take it from it, so you don't have to worry about the eyes of others.
This basket is naturally just a cover, in fact, it is to facilitate her to take something from the spirit bead to eat.
Gu Tianxing was a little speechless, is this a matter of taking things? This is when the big guys are swallowing dry food and pickle cakes, can she swallow those pastries and chicken legs!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and in order to let her sons and grandsons get in the car and rest, she also came down the aisle. The old lady was holding her little feet and carrying a stick, and she was not far behind.
Chai Niu was also taken down, and she used to come down and walk every day, but from day to night, the total added up to no more than an hour. Today, I have been walking for half an hour in front of me, and the little short legs are a little limping.
Gu Tianxing had the heart to hold her, but he had to stop thinking that he was only half a tall, so he had to stop this thought. Seeing Xiao Budian pursed her mouth and couldn't help crying, she still couldn't bear it.
"Qingzhu, why don't you carry Chai Niu for a while?"
"No, how can I let a mortal hang on me."
"Third uncle, I see that Chai Niu can't walk." Gu Tianxing reminded Gu Anguang, thinking that he had to feel sorry for his daughter as a father.
