A few people were puzzled, only to see that Xiao Er put the small kettle in the tray on the table of Xiao Hanfeng and the others and said to a few people: "This water is very expensive, let's see if you can drink it first." ”

Xiao Hanfeng was stunned when he heard this, looked at the small kettle on the table and asked, "How do you say this, little second brother?" What kind of water is this? ”

The little second swept Xiao Hanfeng and the others around, and his eyes stayed on Dongfang Tilting for a long time before he said, "This pot of water costs fifty taels of silver." How? Do you still drink it? ”

Hearing this, Xianyu looked at the little second brother with wide eyes and asked, "What kind of water is this?" Why is it so expensive? ”

The second brother looked at Xianyu's somewhat surprised face and smiled bitterly: "You must be from other places, you don't know the rules of my Changli City." All that remains of my city is now one lake that has not dried up, and the rest of the rivers have dried up. The water in a city is all obtained from that lake, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in my Changli City, do you think this water should be so expensive? Xianyu listened to Xiao Er's words, and his heart was speechless for a while, hundreds of thousands of people used the water in a lake, and the water became rare.

Xianyu took out fifty taels of silver from himself and said, "I want this pot of water, but you have to tell me why your water here is so rare," Xiao Er picked up a piece of fifty taels of silver on the table and put it in his pocket. However, he pulled a stool from the table next to him and sat down with Hyunwoo and the others.

Xiao Er sighed and said: "A year ago, this Changli City was originally a very prosperous place, but suddenly one day the two of them went to the river to fetch water, only to find that the water in the river dried up at some point. Although the two of them had some doubts in their hearts, there was more than one river in this Changli City. The two of them then started to dry up the other rivers. Only to find that several other rivers had dried up. The two people who watched it were stunned for a while, the water is the root of life, and now all the water in the river has disappeared inexplicably, which is a big deal for the city lord. ”

"And what about later? What happened? Xiao Yao blinked and asked Xiao Erdao.

Although Xiao Yao's appearance is far inferior to that of Dongfang Dance, after all, he is a person who cultivates immortals and asks, and furthermore, Xuanran Mountain is also a blessed land of Lingshan, so if Xiao Yao's appearance is placed in the mortal dust, it is definitely a very beautiful woman. Xiao Er saw that it was a woman who asked him, and she was born with a delicate appearance. There was a hint of a smile on his face that originally looked a little listless, Xiao Er cleared his throat and said to Xiao Yao: "Later, the people in the city searched hard for many people, and they couldn't find a single water source in the whole city. While the people were discouraged, a man appeared in the city and told the people that he had a lake there, and that there was water in it. He also said that his water was the only source of water in the city, and that it was easy to drink it, and that it would cost ten taels of silver to drink it. ”

Xianyu frowned when he heard the words of the shopkeeper, and it cost ten taels of silver to drink a sip of water, has this water really become Xianqiong wine? A few people vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, why did the water in the city suddenly disappear? If it is providential, why is there still a lake of water? Hyunwoo pondered for a moment and asked Xiao Er, "Who is the person guarding the lake?" ”

Xiao Er thought for a while and said, "I don't know very well, I only know that the person is a woman, and I don't know the rest." ”

Xianyu glanced at Xiao Hanfeng after hearing this, and Xiao Hanfeng said: "Go and take a look, it's really a wave that hasn't stopped rising again and again." ”

The group got up and walked towards the door of the store, but they didn't know that they had walked far before they were stopped by the shopkeeper. I saw a small kettle in the shopkeeper and said to a few people: "Your water, the water you bought for fifty taels, take it." Hyunwoo didn't shirk when he heard this, so he walked over and took the kettle in his hand. This was originally the water he bought for fifty taels, and he would never suffer a loss.

Out of the store, Xiao Hanfeng randomly found a middle-aged man on the street and asked, "This brother, dare to ask where is the place to get water in this city?" The middle-aged man looked Xiao Hanfeng up and down, and there was a trace of doubt on his face, and then he was relieved.

I only heard the middle-aged man say: "You must be from other places, if not, you won't know where to get water." The middle-aged man said, turned around and pointed to a low mountain peak in the east and said to Xiao Hanfeng: "It's on the mountain over there, but if you want to drink water here, you need a lot of silver." There are now far fewer people in the city, and they are all forced to leave because they can't drink water. A mouthful of water is ten taels of silver, which is a few months' rations for ordinary people. After speaking, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and walked forward, from the middle-aged man's dress, it can be seen that this person's family is quite wealthy, otherwise I am afraid that he would not be in this city for a long time.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain that the middle-aged man said, Xianyu and the others saw dozens of long dragons. It was a long line of people, and the line stretched all the way up the mountain, and there was no end in sight. Seeing this scene, Xianyu and the others were also stunned, this formation is really a spectacle. A few people did not use the spell, because looking at the scene at this moment, even if they used a spell to go up the mountain, they could not solve anything, so they found a long dragon to stand at the back and lined up. In this way, from noon to sunset, there were many more people who came to fetch water behind several people.

Hyun-woo was looking at the crowd in front of him when he suddenly felt that someone in front of him had fallen. He looked down and saw that it was an old man in his seventies and eighties. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and the cloudy old eyes were full of confusion at the moment. I only heard him mutter, "Water...... Water ......"

Seeing this, Xianyu did not hesitate at all, so he took out the pot of water on his body and sent it to the old man's mouth, and when he took a mouthful of water, the old man's eyes were a little more bright. The old man gradually saw the person beside him clearly, and only then did he see a small kettle beside his mouth. The old man looked at Xianyu again, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then that surprise turned into panic. The old man said to Xianyu in a trembling voice: "This son, the little old man doesn't have any silver taels, and I don't have any money to give you your water after drinking it." I only have ten taels of silver on me at the moment, but it is to find saliva for my grandson, who has been drinking for two days. ”

Xianyu listened to the old man's words and felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, and he said to the old man with a smile: "Uncle, my water is voluntarily given to you, you don't need to spend money, you can rest assured." ”

The old man could barely believe his ears when he heard Hyun-woo's words, wondering if he had heard it wrong. The water in the city is much more precious than gold, so how could this young man be so generous with his own use? But when the old man saw Hyunwoo's sincere eyes, his heart jumped violently, and then two lines of old tears flowed down his cheeks.

At this time, there was a sound of urging behind the people, and Hyunwoo helped the old man to a stone on the side of the road and sat down. Anyway, it doesn't matter if they don't eat or drink for a few days, and as for the water that the old man wants, it would be better if Xianyu and a few people were there. It's a big deal that Hyun Woo went to the small shop just now to buy a pot of water for the old man, and Hyun In-ja gave him a lot of silver taels before Hyun Woo went down the mountain, and as for where these silver taels came from, Hyun Woo didn't ask much.

Supporting the old man to do a good job, Xianyu opened his mouth and asked: "Old man, how can you still come out to do things at such an advanced age, aren't there any young adults in the family?" Hearing Xianyu mention the matter of his family, the old man's eyes were full of tears, and the appearance of the old tears made people feel sad.

The old man said to Xianyu in a trembling voice: "I originally had a son, but ...... But just last month, my son and daughter-in-law ...... because they had no money to buy water. They both committed suicide and died. The two of them are fine, and when they die, they don't know anything. But they left a child. Now there are only two of us left in the family, and for the sake of my little grandson, the old man has to give up his life to get him some water. ”

Xiao Hanfeng and the others listened to the old man's words, and their faces sank, and Xianyu was even more angry. Drinking water, how easy it would be on weekdays, even if Hyunwoo was a beggar in the past, it was very easy to drink water. But now? It is really unreasonable to force a living person to hang himself for a mouthful of water. Hyunwoo felt that if God did it at this time, then God would be too ruthless. If this is done by a man, then that man deserves death.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the long dragon that draws water seems to have never changed. Often one goes to two, and there is no sign of dispersing at all. Hyunwoo looked ahead and couldn't see anything but human heads. At this moment, a young man came down from the mountain crying, and Hyunwoo stopped his way and asked, "What is wrong with this brother?" ”

The young man wiped his tears and said, "The woman said that this is the end of today, and if you want to get water, you should hurry up." I've been waiting here for two days and two nights, but I still haven't gotten any water. ”

As Hyunwoo and the young man spoke, a large crowd descended from the mountain, and the crowd behind them turned around and left as if they knew what was happening. Hyunwoo asked the young man, "Since there is no water available here, why don't you leave?" ”

The young man was still crying, "Those who can walk are gone, and most of those who are left behind are old people and children." I have an old lady at home, and I really don't want to leave. So saying, the young man ran down the hill crying. Hyunwoo looked at the young man's back, and a sense of helplessness arose in his heart.

Originally, I thought that these departed people would go home, but what Hyun Woo didn't expect was that some of these people simply slept on the side of the road, and they didn't have to think about it to know that they wanted to get water earlier tomorrow. And those who have returned home are probably like the young man just now, because there are people at home who need to be taken care of.

The old man saw that everyone was walking down the mountain, and sighed and wanted to get up and leave. Hyunwoo held his shoulder and said, "Don't panic, old man, the kid will take you to fetch water." ”

Before the old man could say anything, he felt that his body was light, and he walked quickly towards the mountain. The old man looked at Xianyu and the others with a shocked face: "Who are you?" Is it a youkai? ”

Hyunwoo smiled at the old man and said, "We're not monsters, but the water seller above is probably a monster." ”

After hearing Hyunwoo's words, the old man was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Hyunwoo and the others had already taken him to the top of the mountain.
