"Milk, is there any water, I'm so thirsty!"

It was still morning when I set off, and at noon, Shikang, who had been peaceful, pouted aggrievedly and said to my grandmother.

They didn't get into the ox cart today, but a few boys walked on the side.

Mrs. Ji hurriedly took out the kettle that she had specially filled before from the ox cart and handed it to her grandson:

"Drink it."

As she spoke, Mrs. Ji also looked at the other grandchildren: "Are you thirsty?" ”

"Milk, I'm thirsty!" When Ji Shiliang heard his grandmother ask, he immediately nodded.

"Milk, I'm thirsty too, I want to drink water too!"

"I want it too!"

The children all like to do one thing together, and the weather is indeed a bit big today, so it's understandable that you are thirsty.

"Good, good! You take your time, and when you're done drinking, you're ready to drink the next one. ”

Mrs. Ji said lovingly.

"! But there's not enough water! ”

When it was Shi'an's turn, the water in the kettle had bottomed out, and he couldn't pour out the water when he held the kettle.

Ji Shi'an pursed his mouth aggrievedly:

"I want to drink water too, I'm thirsty, milk."

Mrs. Ji looked at the kettle, and sure enough, there was no water in it.

Looking at a few eldest grandsons who were waiting to be fed, Mrs. Ji said to Ji Liangqing in front:

"It's going to be noon, you look at finding a place for the big guy to rest and eat, and by the way, go find some water, there is no water at all."

Ji Liangqing nodded and didn't say anything.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a relatively flat side, Ji Liangqing asked the big guy to rest on the side, and called a few families without water to find water.

Li Jiang is very experienced in finding water, and he followed.

But this time, I don't know what happened, more than a dozen people took the kettle around the side, and they didn't find any water.

"What's going on? Why is there no water on the mountain? ”

One of them asked suspiciously.

It stands to reason that there is no shortage of water in the mountains, and even if other places have fled due to lack of water before, they can still maintain basic agricultural needs here.

"Could it be that we are in the wrong place, and the water is in the other direction?" The man asked tentatively.

He didn't think much of it, he just thought it was going in the wrong direction.

"It's not." Li Jiang looked at the clump of grass beside several people with a solemn expression, and leaned down to touch it.

"What are you doing touching this? Brother Jiang! ”

Wang Goudan was a little inexplicable when he saw Li Jiang like this.

Didn't you say there was no water now? Could it be that Brother Jiang still wants to catch the dew from the grass blades?

However, Ji Liangqing looked at his reaction solemnly, and had a vague guess in his heart.

He used to go to the stream to fetch water when the children were still sick in the cave.

The water that sank to the bottom made him feel bad at the time.

It's just that at that time, I was most concerned about the safety of my daughter, so I didn't think about it deeply.

Now he can't help but think about it.

"You see, it stands to reason that in the early morning, there will be dew on the blades of this grass, even if it is already noon, but there is no sun in this place, it should be a little wet."

Li Jiang's words confirmed the bad conjecture in Ji Liangqing's heart in the next second:

"Now the grass is very dry on the top of the blades, and I even feel a little embarrassed, the only possibility is that the ground is so dry that there is no dew."

The ground is dry, and there is no water to be found everywhere......

Everyone is not stupid, and after fleeing for so long, they have a lot of shrewdness in their heads, and their eyes widened in an instant, and they said in unison:

"Drought?"

After saying this, it seemed that they also felt too tacit, and several people looked at each other, but there was not a trace of a smile on their faces.

Are their lives so miserable?

It's not enough to flee, it's even necessary to add drought to it?

Can't stay at home because of drought, let alone on the way to escape the famine?

Ji Liangqing's face was gloomy, and he tried his best to find some reason to refute Li Jiang's speculation.

But his cognition made him understand that Li Jiang's words were not groundless.

"So what do we do now?"

Wang Goudan's eyes widened, but his face was full of composure.

He also understood that panicking was useless.

Panic is useless in this kind of era, only calmness can come up with a solution.

"Let's take a turn and see if there's any water." A flash of appreciation flashed in Li Jiang's eyes:

"Maybe there's water in these places, and we'll find as much as we can."

"Seeing that the weather is getting bigger and bigger...... Li Jiang frowned, "It stands to reason that the weather should slowly get cold now." ”

Everyone nodded.

Then look in the other direction.

It can be regarded as God's favor for them, and it really allows them to find a stream.

It's just that there is only a thin layer of water left on the surface of this creek, and if you are not careful, you will stir up the silt at the bottom of the water.

Several people were careful and careful before filling the kettle with water.

Even so, the kettle was filled with some silt.

"Shall we go back and get some more water?"

Seeing that there was still some water left here, Wang Goudan's eyes were full of reluctance.

Now he knew that he was in a drought, and it was worse for him to see so much water and not be able to take it with him than to cut his flesh.

"Water must be here, dog, you go back and get some stuff and put it on."

Li Jiang made the final decision: "Now we can still find some water sources here, if we don't want it here, we don't know if there is still water if we go forward." ”

"Good!"

The king dog answered, immediately turned around and ran back.

Ji Liangqing looked at Li Jiang, and after the two glanced at each other, they looked at the dense forest not far away at the same time.

Would you like to go in and have a look?

The answer, of course, is yes!

They had a hunch that there must be more water in this dense forest than the stream they had just met.

Because the humidity inside the dense forest is heavier than the forest outside.

It's just that it's dangerous in the dense forest, and it's very inappropriate for so many people to go in.

"You wait for us outside for a while, keep this place guarded, and let's go inside and see if there is any water."

Ji Liangqing said to several other members of the security team.

Several other people also understood that they were also dragging their feet after following the captain and Li Jiang in, so they all nodded and agreed.

Seeing that they all agreed, Ji Liangqing and Li Jiang glanced at each other, and the two nodded.

Then he walked into the forest very cautiously.

After walking into the dense forest, the light suddenly became even more gloomy, and Li Jiang and Ji Liangqing were not reckless people.

In the arid dense forest, the beast is likely to be at the intersection of the shallow forest.

Because it is too dry and there is no prey, they have to come down the mountain to find it to fill their stomachs.

The two of them tried to light down the footsteps as much as possible, watching and listening to all directions.

If it weren't for the whole village, they wouldn't have ventured into it.

Ji Liangqing turned his head to take a look at Li Jiang, and suddenly found that there was a situation behind Li Jiang, and immediately his face changed greatly, and he made a "boo" gesture towards Li Jiang.
