Chapter 126, Fetching Water
The night was indeed peaceful, and although the tension remained, at last the night passed again, and then the sky began to light again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But then again, every time someone dies the next morning, and then for some strange reason, two young men die in Huangquan, but this morning you have to be very careful.
"Is there enough water in the kettle?"
This sentence was said by Bai Zaha when everyone was packing their bags and preparing to leave, because although the weather was humid and the air was a little thin, water was indispensable along the way, and if they followed this process, they could reach their destination in Death Valley in less than two days.
Everyone shook the kettle, although there was the sound of water hitting the kettle, but through the sound, it seemed that the amount of water used in the last few days was a bit large, so the water was used today at most, and I am afraid that I will have to find a new place to fetch water later.
Bai Zaha knew that he was almost in Death Valley, but before that, he didn't know the terrain of Death Valley, so he didn't know anything about the land of water veins, so it was better to fill up the water while there seemed to be a water source around now.
"It doesn't seem to be enough, but that kind of thing only happened yesterday, so be very careful when fetching water, otherwise, Patriarch Bai and I will go fetch water, and you can wait for us in the same place."
This sentence was said by Huang Bo, and when he said it, he raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little confused.
Bai Zaha looked at Huang Bo, and then nodded,
"For everyone's safety, it is most appropriate for two people to go together, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhou, you just stay here with him and wait for us, and come back in a while."
Bai Zaha said that he was the only man left in Zhuyue Village, and his eyes were fierce, looking at Xiao An and them from time to time.
Xiao An looked at it, then paused and said,
"Well, that's pretty good, but I think the three of us will go, and by the way, I will also know where the water is, and let him protect Mr. Zhou."
After Xiao An finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Maoyin, Zhou Maoyin looked like he was eating coptis, but he had to nod in agreement, and Bai Zaha looked at Huang Bo and nodded silently.
They didn't dare to refuse Xiao An's request, so they had to go with the three of them.
Xiao An asked Zhou Maoyin for his kettle, the water in his kettle was obviously insufficient, probably because he was a little obese and weight-bearing, so he drank more, but Xiao An rarely drank water, so there was no need to worry about this on the way.
Bai Zaha explained to the young man, the young man nodded woodenly, and then Bai Zaha said to Zhou Maoyin,
"Your safety is protected by him, and then to be a little safer, give you something just in case."
Bai Zaha said, and gave Zhou Maoyin a machete, which was the saber of the second person who died, and the first one was still in Xiao An's hand.
Xiao An also touched the machete in his hand, and then nodded to Zhou Maoyin, if Bai Zaha didn't do this, he would also give the saber to Zhou Maoyin for him to use for self-defense.
Zhou Maoyin took the knife, although he didn't know how to use a knife, but at least he gave himself some enough security, so Zhou Maoyin would not refuse, and the two people felt a little dangerous, and the two people with machetes looked domineering, and if something happened, they could indeed protect themselves.
Bai Zaha looked at the young man, and then nodded,
"Then let's go fetch water, and you two will wait here for us."
The young man pulled out the knife at his waist, then made a defensive posture and looked around, Zhou Maoyin was just like him, but not particularly fierce.
Xiao An fetched water with them, and the two didn't expect it, but at this moment, Bai Zaha was holding a knife in his hand, and then there were two kettles hanging from his waist, one of which was naturally the man's.
Xiao An is the same, Huang Bo is in the middle, holding a kettle in his hand, if something happens to the three of them, there is a guarantee.
Xiao An is not very good at using a knife, but it is a little difficult to take his life easily.
After walking for a few minutes, I finally saw the water, the water was crystal clear, it seemed to be very sweet, and there were some stones in it, and there were a few white fish in it passing slowly, which was quite poetic.
Bai Zaha put the machete aside, crouched down to fetch water, and then said,
"This water flow can be said to be the source of life of the forest, although passing through the mountains and forests, but always clear to the bottom, even if there are occasional fallen leaves drifting by, it seems to fall into a big river, so this water is also magical, there is never a taste of dead leaves, it is very sweet, if you use this water to make wine, the wine must be sweeter."
Huang Bo glanced at the flowing water, just like that, it looked clear, but it was like a small stream, not wide and grand, so it looked like small fish and shrimp inside.
"Patriarch Bai, didn't you say before that there might be crocodiles in this forest? Looking at it like this, it's not like a crocodile is possible. ”
Bai Zaha continued to fetch water, and then smiled,
"How can there be crocodiles in this small tributary, crocodiles live in small rivers, at least more than one meter deep, five or six meters wide, you will encounter them later, but because of the danger, we must hurry over, we can't stop to fetch water, which is why I want to fetch water now."
After Bai Zaha finished speaking, the kettle was also filled, and then he got up with a knife and went to Huang Bo to fetch water, Huang Bo had nothing to defend himself, so he just squatted down, but before that, he took two big sips and drank it, and paused.
"Ah! It's really refreshing, sweet, and good water. ”
Xiao An and Bai Zaha laughed dryly on the side, and then Xiao An asked,
"I just heard what Patriarch Bai meant that we still have to pass through a river, and then there may be crocodiles in it?"
Bai Zaha looked at Xiao An and nodded,
"It can be said that the road behind is still full of dangers, and there are demons secretly against us, so our trip this time is really unlucky."
Xiao An nodded, Huang Bo had already filled the kettle at this time, and then got up, Xiao An took out the kettle on his waist, and was also about to squat, and then the knife was also placed next to him.
first took a sip of water, and then used the kettle to fill it, which was full from time to time, Xiao An also washed his face with water in his hand when he left, and sobered himself up.
Then the three of them walked through some trees and slowly went back, and as long as people were together, nothing would happen.
When the three of them came back, Zhou Maoyin and the young man put down the knives in their hands, and the two of them looked very safe, maybe they didn't say a word because they couldn't understand each other's words.
Xiao An gave him Zhou Maoyin's kettle, and he opened it and took a sip, enjoying it as if he were drinking.
The five of them continued to set off, and nothing unusual happened today.
