Looking at the tick-tock hands on my watch, I felt like waking up from a dream.

The Liu Xiu mentioned by the person in the dream should be Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, judging from the dress of the people in the dream, they seem to be indeed ancients.

It's really strange to dream of people in ancient times.

Thinking back to the swordsmanship practiced by that man, I feel more and more incredible, that swordsmanship is indeed extremely exquisite, even if I think back now, I can faintly see the general trend of mountains and seas from it, if it is all based on imagination in my dreams, I can't imagine such a subtle swordsmanship.

After all, I don't have that kind of martial arts attainment.

Seeing that it was not early, I didn't dare to think too much, so I immediately opened the can, ate a few compressed biscuits with the soup inside, and hastily filled my stomach.

I hadn't drunk a sip of water for so long that my throat was almost on fire now, and even though the soup was moistened, the compressible biscuits were still so dry that they were hard to swallow.

When I got out of the tent, Lu Shengcai also crawled out of the tent with a prostration, this kid was not as good as me, and now his whole face showed an extremely unhealthy waxy yellow.

It was good not to see him, but as soon as I saw him, my dry mouth immediately became more and more serious, and my throat was almost on fire.

For those who have never experienced that kind of thirst, it is difficult for me to understand how I felt at that time, as if the water on my body was about to be emptied, and even if I was given a puddle of muddy water now, I would drink it regardless of it.

Qiao Sanye beckoned to me and Lu Shengcai: "Bring your luggage, don't dismantle the tent, save some physical strength." ”

As he spoke, Qiao Sanye's throat also tightened several times.

We didn't take the time to dismantle the tents, only our bags and sleeping bags, and we traveled as light as we could.

Although I also knew that Qiao Sanye was going to take us to find water, but walking in the forest at this time, I felt that it was not as comfortable as spending time in a tent, my feet were full of broken sand, and when I stepped on it, I heard a loud noise.

The voice was dry and hoarse, as if it was a constant reminder of how long it had been since we had taken a sip of water.

Qiao Sanye is the most difficult, he walks in the front, his eyes are full of dry black trees and white sand, at this time, the more he sees those white sands, the more thirsty he feels, we are okay, at least we can still stare at the people in front of us and divert our attention.

I can't see the change of time in the forest of Baili Yunchuan, I heard Qiao Sanye say that after leaving the camp, it takes most of the day to find the water source, sometimes I look up to see the sun in the sky, but no matter when I look up, the sun's point of light will always hang in the same position.

At the same time, I didn't dare to look at my watch because I was afraid that time would pass more slowly than I thought.

We stopped to eat something halfway through, but we didn't dare to stay any longer and continued to hurry.

Qiao Sanye said that in our current state, the longer we sit down, the more difficult it will be to stand up again.

I don't know how long I walked in this seemingly long forest without knowing the boundary, and finally I heard the sound of gurgling water in my ears.

The third master immediately turned around, first raised his hand towards everyone, and then pressed his palm on everyone, signaling everyone not to worry.

At that time, Lu Shengcai was already in a hurry, and as soon as he heard the sound of water, he wanted to spread his steps and rush forward, but fortunately, Qiao Sanye gestured in time, and the foot he had just taken was immediately withdrawn.

The old forest is very dangerous, and the more you get to this time, the more you need to be careful.

Although I don't have much experience in the wilderness, I do know that the more seemingly safe a place is, the more dangerous it is.

Then Qiao Sanye lowered his steps, bent his waist and touched in the direction where the sound of water came from.

The forest is very quiet, and I can hear the sound of water from this position, the river is still a long distance away from us, and Qiao Sanye is leaning down and hiding his body now, it seems that he is in a bit of a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the master was also very cooperative, as soon as Qiao Sanye shrank his waist, he took out a hidden talisman and pasted it on Qiao Sanye.

Lu Shengcai and I also hid our bodies.

The sand on the ground was so scattered that the slightest weight on the steps would make a movement, and at first we walked almost on our heels, until we were closer to the water source, and the sound of the water could suppress the footsteps to a certain extent, and we picked up our speed a little.

Passing through a relatively dense forest area, you can see a wide river channel that crosses the jungle in front of you, and the water flow is quite large, and you can see the water vapor transpiring on the river surface from a long distance.

Qiao Sanye suddenly raised his hand and motioned to the people behind him to stop first, and then he pressed his steps forward for more than ten meters, until he reached the edge of the forest, and then stopped and looked upstream of the river.

After a long time, he waved without looking back, motioning for everyone to come over.

Master walked in front of me first, and deliberately lowered his pace, moving forward without making a sound like Qiao Sanye did just now, and Lu Shengcai and I also followed his example and slowly approached.

When everyone came to the edge of the forest, they saw Qiao Sanye raise a hand and pointed towards the upstream of the river, and looked in the direction of the third master's finger, and could see a huge shadow shrinking next to the upstream river, the shadow was gray, not like a person, but it couldn't see what it was.

Qiao Sanye lowered his voice and said to everyone: "An old mouse, estimated to be hundreds of years old. ”

Master asked in a low voice, "What is it doing?" ”

"Fetch water, my legs and feet are not good, and my movements are quite slow."

As he spoke, Qiao Sanye picked up a stone the size of a beer bottle cap from the ground and threw it upstream.

Isn't that a scareless!

I was anxious for a while, but Master and Third Master Qiao both looked light-hearted.

The stone eventually fell into the river, not too far from the gray shadow, but in my sight, the old mouse in the distance seemed unmoved.

Qiao Sanye nodded and said, "It seems that its ears are not flexible, we can follow it later." ”

Master was noncommittal about this.

It was about half an hour before the gray shadow in the distance fluttered across the river and into the forest on the other side of the river.

It was as if it was completely weightless, and it was able to cross the river by stepping on the raging surface of the river.

I heard Qiao Sanye say in a low voice: "This is a yin and yang river, the water on the north bank is drinkable, the water on the south bank is poisonous, there is an invisible bridge on the river, only the local rat demon knows where it is." ”

No one responded, and after Qiao Sanye said this, he didn't speak anymore, just stared quietly at the other side of the river.

After nearly half an hour, the third master quickly beckoned and led everyone out of the woods to get water on the riverbank.

Such a clear river water is simply a thirsty natural enemy, after getting to the river bank, everyone quickly leaned down to fill themselves, but they were worried that the old mouse had not gone far, everyone's movements were cautious, for fear of making too much movement.
