The rest of the people are somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of this mountain pond.

Wang said politely: "If it is at your current speed, it will not be possible to arrive tomorrow." ”

Tong's face was slightly stiff, but he felt guilty when he looked at the toddler who couldn't cry in his arms, and the dry and white lips of his five-year-old daughter beside him.

"Mother, I'm thirsty." The eldest lady of the Wang family looked at her mother dryly, her eyes lingering on her chest.

My brother can drink milk, and she wants to drink it too.

But where is Tong's milk now?

I could only pretend to be angry and glared at my daughter, watching my daughter bow her head in frustration, and her heart throbbed.

Wang Dayou looked at the team, everyone fled in a panic and couldn't bring anything with them.

What's more, long before the arrival of the displaced army, most of them had no surplus food in their homes.

There are many trees in this deep mountain old forest, but the branches and leaves are dry and dry, and they fall down, and they can't find fresh young leaves if they want to chew them.

The family with the dog in their arms struggled to look at the dying yellow dog that they had raised in their arms for ten years, and kept swallowing saliva.

There was also a goose in his arms, and because he was so thirsty, he couldn't help but bite the goose's neck and drink blood to quench his thirst.

It's just that the blood feels refreshing when he first drinks it, but after a while, the throat is like a fire, and the man can't help but scratch his throat.

It's nothing if you don't eat for one or two meals, but if you don't drink water for a day, let alone people, livestock can't stand it.

Xu, everyone is right, if you go in a hurry like this, you won't be able to get to the pond tomorrow.

Wang Dayou swallowed his saliva, and shouted at the villagers: "The big guys are all working hard, go early and have water to drink, not for yourself, think about the children, gritting your teeth and holding on!" ”

Everyone looked at the child, and then at the sun that was about to climb to the middle of their heads, gritted their teeth, and nodded.

Wang Dayou sighed, looked at Wang, and signaled that she didn't have to scruple anymore.

Seeing this, Wang's face was a little better, and he also encouraged: "Everyone insist on persevering, it's not far from the pond, as long as we are fast enough, we can arrive at noon!" ”

With Wang's accurate words, the big guy worked hard and greatly accelerated his speed.

Even seven or eight-year-old children puffed out their cheeks and struggled to move their calves, not leaving the adults behind.

Now in this world, it is not easy for underage children to live until now, Xu Yue was carried on her back by her brother, and she was very ashamed to watch these children try to keep up with the pace of adults.

In this comparison, I suddenly felt much luckier.

It's just that when she was about to arrive at the pond in the hinterland of the mountain, Xu Yue suddenly saw traces of being trampled on a clump of weeds.

At first glance, he thought it was the footprints left by some kind of large beast, but such footprints appeared one after another, and Xu Yue suddenly had a bad premonition.

However, she could find the traces, let alone the Wang family, and measured it with her fingers, and her face suddenly sank.

"Someone has been here!" Wang frowned.

Dawangcun and the others were stunned, they were hungry and thirsty, and they didn't realize what this meant for a while.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang immediately noticed that the situation was not good.

Wang subconsciously raised his hand, made a gesture to move forward quietly, and looked back to see Wang Dayou and the others with a blank face, only then did he realize that this was not a soldier he brought, and coughed awkwardly, and said in a voice that everyone could hear:

"There may have been someone in the pond who has already taken the lead, Xu Da, you take everyone to move forward quietly, I'll go see the situation first."

As he spoke, he nodded to Wang Dayou again, "You are with me." ”

Wang Dayou glanced at Wang in surprise, then looked at Xu Da, and saw him bowing his head, so he hesitated to follow Wang to take the first step.

Seeing that the Wang family jumped out in three or two clicks, and every time he was able to avoid the stones and other obstacles under his feet in advance, although Wang Dayou was just a blacksmith, he also felt the difference between the Wang family and ordinary women.

But before he could think about the difference, the sound of lively conversation reached his ears, and the two of them had already walked out of the forest and into a low grass.

In the middle of the grass, there is a circular pond with a diameter of about five meters.

Seeing the clear water source and feeling the water vapor rushing to his face, Wang Dayou swallowed his saliva fiercely and almost cried with joy.

It's just that there are more than 20 people by the small pond, dressed similarly to them, and at a glance you know that they are also villagers from other places who fled to the mountains because of drought and military disasters.

At this moment, they were sitting in the open space by the pond, making a fire and boiling water to prepare for cooking, speaking in tongues, giggling and talking.

Wang looked at Wang Dayou and asked him if he could understand what those people were saying.

The so-called ten miles are different customs, a hundred miles are different sounds, the entire Shanyang County is so big, and the accents are different in various places.

For example, Dawang Village and Giethoorn Village are only ten miles apart, and the accents are different, but there are often contacts between the two places, and you can understand it when you are used to it.

Wang Dayou tried hard to prick up his ears and listened for a while, it seemed to be the accent of the north of Shanyang County, and the daughter of a family in Dawang Village was married there.

"It seems that they have just arrived, and they are discussing to occupy this pond and avoid trouble here."

The drought in the north of Shanyang County is slightly better than in the south, and the condition of these people seems to be much better than in Dawang Village, and there are more men, there are fifteen young adults.

When Wang heard Wang Dayou's words, his face sank.

Wang Dayou looked at the bright pond and swallowed his saliva, he could still endure his hunger and thirst, but now that the water was in front of him, he couldn't go over and drink it freely, which was particularly abrasive.

If it hadn't been for Wang's stopping, Wang Dayou might have been unable to help but rush over.

But judging by the attitude of the group, if he rushed over, he would probably be killed.

Wang silently wrote down the situation of the group, greeted Wang Dayou, and the two quietly touched back.

As soon as the two returned to the team, Wang Dayou told the situation that the pond had been occupied, and the villagers of Dawang Village immediately exploded.

Their thirst for water makes them go crazy, and they raise their hoes and sickles to grab the pond.

When Xu Da saw this posture, he immediately raised his eyebrows proudly at the Wang family, look, isn't this the advantage of being outnumbered?

Wang didn't bother to take care of him, stepped forward, and drank the villagers of Dawang Village, who were about to grab the pond with their hoes and sickles.

"The other party has more people than us, and the strength is greater than ours, so if we rush over so recklessly, we will definitely lose."

"So what do you say?" Wang Dahai, a villager holding a goose, was very angry, thinking that you are a woman, why should you care about men's affairs?

Wang was stumped by the bright sexist sangism, but soon, as soon as the powerful aura of the battle-hardened opened, and with only a faint glance, Wang Dahai felt like falling into an ice cave, and the words in his throat were stuck, and his voice was silenced.

Not only Wang Dahai, but the other villagers felt this powerful aura, and they couldn't help but quiet down and looked at Wang in amazement.
