After leaving the village, Li Xiao understood Wei Lingjue's true purpose.

It turned out that he suspected that the village's water source was contaminated.

No wonder he wouldn't let her touch the water! Li Xiao thought about it, and the steps under her feet stepped up a little.

Xu Feng, who walked in the forefront, was followed by Wei Lingjue, and Wei Lingjue's side was Li Xiao.

She followed him step by step, and he was the same, looking back in three steps, turning back in two steps, always paying attention to Li Xiao.

After some further travel, they went into the mountains, and the road became bumpy.

Wei Ling walked in front of Li Xiao and changed behind her, becoming a defensive posture.

In the end, he reached out directly and grabbed Li Xiao's hand. The sudden action made Li Xiao stunned at first, and then shook his hand. I couldn't get rid of it, so I could only let him lead me.

From beginning to end, Wei Lingjue's eyes were always in front of him and under his feet, and he never glanced at Li Xiao.

After walking a little further into the mountains,

In front of them, a small stream appeared, gurgling and crystal clear.

Xu Feng, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly stopped and pointed to the stream: "It should be this!" ”

Wei Ling nodded, looked around, and said, "How far is the source of the creek?" ”

"At least a dozen miles of mountain roads!" Xu Feng pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said, "I have climbed that mountain peak to get there!" ”

"Okay, on the way over, keep an eye on the way to see what's by the stream!" Wei Lingjue said, turned to look at Li Xiao, and asked, "The road is still very long, can you still walk?" ”

The ruggedness of the mountain road under his feet was as uneven as the road he was about to take.

The moment Wei Lingjue asked this sentence, he couldn't help but panic in his heart.

Because, he suddenly had an idea, if she nodded and said that she could go on, then no matter how hard he worked, he would not escape anymore!

How would she answer?

Li Xiao's movements answered him.

She nodded firmly, took a step ahead of Wei Lingjue, and walked forward.

Although Li Xiao didn't say half a sentence from beginning to end, just this slight nod also made Wei Lingjue's heart surge.

"How did you come up with the water source?" Li Xiao suddenly asked, intercepting the construction in Wei Lingjue's heart.

"Oh?" He was stunned, then said, "Oh! Water...... This creek is the source of drinking water in the village, and the time of their illness happens to be concentrated in one time..."

Li Xiao listened to Wei Lingjue's explanation while walking, and unconsciously walked forward for a long time.

The source has still not been found. But they found something, a belt floating in the water.

That's right, it's the belt.

The appearance of this belt made Wei Lingjue and Li Xiao's faces change.

This thing that should not appear here, appeared, what kind of meaning it represented, and their hearts all had a thought.

But is that really the case? Li Xiao didn't dare to think about it. She was thinking about it, and Wei Lingjue, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stopped.

His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, which quickly gathered and quickly dispersed.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiao asked.

"Do you smell a fishy smell?" Wei Lingjue asked Li Xiao rhetorically.

Fishy smell??

Li Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, what did he mean by asking? Is it really what she imagined?
