Chapter 42 Water Scarcity

Gu Tianxing saw that his little cousin was hungry like this, and he came back with chicken legs to share with him, and he couldn't bear to blame him.

But this debt is not something that can be repaid with a little food, hey, no wonder I always hear that it is difficult to repay the debt of favors.

Thinking about it, such high-ranking officials and nobles should lack nothing, so how can they repay this gift?

"Miss, don't be embarrassed, it's just some mortal food, it's not beneficial to your cultivation, why bother."

Qingzhu felt that no matter how much mortals gave him such useless things, he wouldn't give them more glances because of this.

Gu Tianxing: "......"

Big brother, can we be more mature? Can you get a little grounded? Is this a little bit of food? At this juncture, everyone is short of food, and what people send you is not eggs, but hope for life.

Although the family is not short of food to that portion, the children have not eaten eggs and chicken legs for a long time.

After hesitating, Gu Tianxing still went to the convoy camp opposite, and Qingzhu naturally followed her closely.

"Who?!"

Those guards were very vigilant, and when they saw the two approaching, they immediately drew their waist knives and shouted.

"My family Maomao was taken care of by Mrs. Mao, and brought a lot of food home, and the little woman came to thank her." Gu Tianxing was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he hurriedly rushed to the carriage to explain his intentions.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the green-clothed maid poked her head out, and she pulled a smile:

"My wife said, the girl doesn't have to be polite, those things are that the lady saved her own rations and gave them to Brother Ling. We went to Zhongzhou, the distance was far away, and we didn't have much food, although we had the heart, we couldn't help the girl's family, so we didn't have to say thank you. ”

Gu Tianxing understood that this was because people were afraid that they were a piece of kraft candy, so they wouldn't let it go.

I can't help but discuss: Sister is really not that kind of person! Hey, if my sister hadn't pretended to be poor, do you think I would care about that bit of food?!

Although there was a little bit of unhappiness, Gu Tianxing could also understand this lady's approach, after all, this refugee was extremely hungry but could do anything.

She didn't explain anymore, took out a jade jue injected with her spiritual power, and handed it over:

"This piece of jade, even if it is a reward for the kindness generously given by Mrs. today, please take it." The maid looked back at the noblewoman, and when she nodded, she got out of the car and took Yu Jue over.

"Madam, this is not as good as what you gave to the slave!"

Gu Tianxing and Qingzhu hadn't gone far yet, and both of them were immortal cultivators, so they naturally heard the words of this maid clearly.

Qingzhu was angry, just a mortal, can get a gift from the young lady, even if you don't know how to be grateful, you dare to belittle it like this?!

He then paused and said coldly:

"That lady, please take the jade jue that my young lady gave you! If one day, when there is a disaster that cannot be solved by manpower, Mrs. can break the jade jue, and then she will know. ”

Everyone in the convoy was startled, and they thought, "This is a master!" Otherwise, how could I go so far, and the sound of speech can still reach everyone's ears, and it is very clear.

Gu Tianxing looked at Qingzhu, a little unclear.

The jade jue sent out was originally her personal thing, which was nourished by aura for a long time and had the effect of strengthening the body. And with his own spiritual power, if that woman is really in trouble, she should feel it, why let her fall Yujue?

"Since people don't know the value of the things given by the young lady, there is no need to keep them for them. Besides, it is more than enough to help block the catastrophe, and it is more than enough to repay these food. Qingzhu smiled and explained softly.

Nodding, Gu Tianxing felt that what he said was very reasonable, but he had not thought about it before. If this Yujue stays with that lady, he can't help himself as soon as something happens.

Seemingly overnight, there were suddenly more refugees on the road.

And the most common thing along the way is a group of people beating gongs and drums, burning incense and praying, babbling and chanting. Listening to the fourth uncle Gu Anxia, these people are reciting the rain message.

The people of Daao Village set off at dawn, and it was just noon, and they had already seen three waves of villagers begging for rain.

"Everyone work hard, and if you speed up, there will be more and more refugees in front, and if you continue like this, it will be difficult for the carriage to go."

It turned out to be the team of people last night, and the young man who shouted was the one who gave Mao Mao chicken legs.

They got up later than their own group, but they couldn't bear the speed of the carriage, and they had already caught up by this time.

Looking at the originally backward horse convoy, running faster and faster, and getting farther and farther away, Guli was very envious in his heart.

This is the benefit of rich people, although everyone knew about the disaster in advance from Master Tuan Tuan, but what about it? It's still not as good as others. You must know that this carriage runs for one day, which is equivalent to two days' journey miles for your own people.

Guli is trying to let everyone speed up, but it can't be fast at all, this ancient road is very muddy, although it is an official road, but it is potholed and bumpy.

Besides, there is still water on the big guy's cart, and some people use water in tanks, so it doesn't have much impact if they go faster. Some families only use basins to store water, for fear that they will not be able to withstand the bumps.

At this time, Gu Tianxing was really remorseful, why did he only care about cultivating some skills to escape and save his life, and put aside the spell of rainfall.

I tried it, looked at my fingertips that were dripping like a faucet, and despised myself, this is not enough for a person to live, what can it do?

"Will it rain you?" Looking at the green bamboo hopefully.

"Not yet, only after the foundation is built can we send clouds and rain."

Hey, then there's no way, there should still be some water in the house of the water blue star in his spirit bead, and he will really take a look at it when he is thirsty to death.

Everyone was desperately rushing to the road, hoping to rush to the water source mentioned by the ancient family a few days ago as soon as possible, but after walking through the dry river beaches, everyone was beating drums in their hearts.

All pondered: I don't know if the water source that the master of this group said is still there? If all this great river is dry like this, what water can be saved? Hey, if I had known, I should have saved some drinks.

The old father's heart was also up and down, looking at the grass Zhuangzi that could be burned on the ground, smashed his mouth, sighed, and simply closed his eyes and was out of sight and out of mind.

The old man naturally has no doubt about the existence of the water source, after all, what his granddaughter predicted has not gone wrong until now.

To be honest, his old man was worried that the place had been occupied, and it would not be easy to get water at that time, and if he didn't do it, he would die.

"Milk, I want to drink water." Mao Mao licked her lips and begged Gu Tai for water.

In fact, after noon, the water stored in the house was already distributed by the old lady like food.

The old lady hugged her little grandson, touched his lips and said:

"What are you thirsty for? You haven't even peeled your mouth yet, are you? Bear with me! ”

"Milk, I want to drink water too."

It was Chai Niu who spoke, and she followed for a while, and she had already begged her for water twice, but she didn't drink it.

The old lady took the water bladder, asked her to open her mouth, poured a small mouthful, and hurriedly said, don't swallow, put it in your mouth for a while, so that you will not be thirsty.

Gu Tianxing rolled his eyes when he listened, and Gu Dad couldn't help but whisper:

"Wife, didn't I tell you everything, there is still water in front of me. Don't search anymore, there's still a long way to go, if you make everyone thirsty and your body collapses, how can you go? ”

"My old woman is searching, you are poor and generous every day, his two little dolls don't have to do any work, can they be thirsty so fast?" The old lady's voice is not small, attracting the sideways of passers-by.

But isn't it, the water now is a life-saving treasure, and no one is close to the labor to supply the water.

Look at the thirsty ones on the side of the road, they are already walking in twos and threes. Now that the sun is so strong, these people are probably going to collapse in a few hours.

Unlike the ancient father's thoughts, Gu Tianxing knew that the water source was hidden and would not be discovered. What she is worried about is that the weather is so hot now, and the stone cave the size of the bowl mouth will not seep water upwards? What if the water level of the underground river drops?

While they were thinking about it, the mule cart stopped urgently, and no whistle was heard, indicating that the team was not attacked.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they all clung to the thing, and looked at the accident site on their tiptoes.

It was a little girl, who looked like she was only seven or eight years old, kneeling in the middle of the official road, and kept kowtowing and begging the passing refugees, begging them to give them a sip of water to save her mother.

The child slammed to the ground, his head was bloody and fleshy, and he shook the unconscious woman beside him:

"Mother, if you hold on a little longer, I will definitely be able to get water, don't sleep, Dad is still waiting for us."

There were also kind-hearted refugees passing by, but they just wiped away their tears and hurried around her.

When the Fang clan of the Guli family passed by, they felt compassion and hesitated a little when they saw this scene, and the child hugged her thighs tightly, and cried and begged:

"Grandma, please give me saliva, save my aunt, I will make you a cow and a horse in the next life, please."

Gu Fang's family sympathized with this child, but she didn't have much water at home, and besides, there were many refugees here, so she would never dare to start this.
