The wind and sand lasted for a little and a half and finally stopped.

Because of this strong sandstorm, Yao Nian lost a lot of weight, and the water tank at home was empty, which can be regarded as running out of ammunition and food.

Early in the morning, Yao Nian couldn't sleep, his throat was very thirsty, and his lips were dry and cracked.

"Mother, my mouth hurts and I want to drink water." As soon as Sanbao opened his eyes, he shouted and shouted to his mother, his mouth was so dry that it hurt when he moved, and he couldn't cry, and his expression looked very hideous.

Yao Nian looked at the other two again, they were all in the same situation, their lips were cracked and bleeding, and it was very distressing to watch.

"Sanbao is good, I am obedient at home with my brother, and my mother is looking for water." Yao Nian smiled strongly, his voice hoarse.

"I'm with you." Xie Xiao pursed his lips and went to get the back basket.

Yao Nian shook his head, "No, I'll call Second Brother Liu, you are a little child, it's really not safe to go to the mountains." ”

Taking the back basket in his hand, Yao Nian coaxed them a few more words and was about to go out.

Just as she was opening the door, Chun Tao suddenly stopped her, "Miss Yao..."

Yao Nian subconsciously hummed, looked back at her expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and suddenly thought that the time to make an appointment with Mrs. County Shou to take the pulse had arrived.

"Chun Tao, don't worry, I'll go into the city tomorrow."

With her assurance, Chun Tao's heart fell, took a baked dry cake and put it in the back basket, and smiled, "Miss Yao, you take this cake, keep it and eat it when you are hungry." ”

Yao Nian nodded.

Knowing that she had entered the mountain, village chiefs Liu Fu and Liu Erzhuang and Liu Dazhuang were all waiting at the entrance of the village early.

After being tortured by the wind and sand for a month, they were all haggard and unlooking.

Liu Fu is even more white-haired, and his back is a little stiff visible to the naked eye.

The two brothers of the Liu family looked anxious, and when they saw Yao Nian, they hurriedly greeted them as if they had seen a god and Buddha.

"Sister Yao, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The hopeful gazes of the two made Yao Nian feel a lot of pressure, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva to moisten her stinging throat before she said slowly, "I just went to the mountain to have a look, and I'm not sure I will be able to find a water source." ”

Liu Fu seemed to be afraid that she would regret it, so he hurriedly answered, "I know, we all know." ”

Yao Nian hummed and didn't say anything.

"The two brothers of the Liu family will accompany you, and there will be more people to take care of it." Liu Fu opened his mouth again.

"Okay." She nodded and walked up the hill first.

Yao Nian had already given up on the mountain last time, and she walked around the nearest mountain to the mountain more than ten kilometers away.

Along the way, Liu Dazhuang and Yao Nian walked side by side, and they both wanted to speak when they looked at her.

"Brother Liu, if you have something to say, just say it." Yao Nian couldn't help it.

When she asked, Liu Dazhuang's face turned red and he stammered, "Sister Yao, how did you find the water source last time, tell us, won't we find it faster?" ”

Liu Dazhuang thought to herself, instead of the three of them looking for it together, it would be better for her to tell the method and the three of them to find it separately, wouldn't it be faster.

Yao Nian was very helpless, she felt that she couldn't explain it to them at all, no matter what she said, they always thought that she had a way to find a water source, but they didn't want to say it.

A village also helped her a lot, so Yao Nian thought about explaining patiently.

Just as he was about to speak, Liu Erzhuang interrupted first.

"Brother, don't ask, Sister Yao definitely doesn't know, if she knows, she won't tell us."

Yao Nian was a little surprised, turned her head to look at him, and received a comforting look from the man, and a warm current crossed her heart.

He followed his words, "Yes, it was just a coincidence that I found the water source last time, and you helped me so much, if I really had a way, it would be impossible not to tell you." ”

Yao Nian said this, and Liu Dazhuang gave up.

It took the three of them a few hours to reach the foot of the mountain, and Yao Nian was already seriously exhausted.

Lacking water, they walked slowly, but they still consumed a lot of water in their bodies, and Yao Nian felt that his throat was already on fire.

"Sister Yao, are you okay?" Liu Erzhuang was a little worried, he hadn't entered the mountain yet.

Yao Nian found a stone and sat down, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and shook his head at him, "I'm fine, let's rest for a while." ”

"Okay." Liu Erzhuang nodded, took out the dry food in the basket and handed it to Yao Nian.

"Sister Yao, eat some first."

Yao Nian looked at the hard dry food and smiled bitterly.

She was hungry after walking all the way, but it was hard and dry, and she couldn't swallow it.

Yao Nian reached out and touched his aching throat, rejecting his kindness.

This mountain is no different from the others, only it is much bigger, and the mountain is still bare and yellow.

Perhaps because no one had come for a long time, there were a lot of dead tree trunks on the mountain, which were scattered and intertwined, which slowed down the pace of the three of them going up the mountain.

It stands to reason that the streams are all on the top of the mountain, Yao Nian said that she had to go to the top of the mountain to see what happened, but she really couldn't walk, Liu Erzhuang was helpless, and led her with a stick.

The view of dusk is in view, and a small stream in the rock crevice at the top of the mountain also comes into view.

It's fine, and the water is like the tip of a needle, but it's enough to make them happy.

Pouring a sip of cold water, the pain in her throat was instantly relieved, and she couldn't wait to drink a big can directly, but she couldn't drink enough.

"Fill the kettle first, and we'll be looking for where the source of this water is." Liu Dazhuang looked happy and very happy.

Liu Erzhuang also responded happily, "Yes, although there is not a lot of water, it is not a trip in vain." ”

As soon as the words fell, the dead trees around him began to move.

In the blink of an eye, a group of men in tattered clothes surrounded them, their purpose was very clear, the source of water.

The man at the head looked thin and thin, looking like he had been sucked by a ghost, staring at Yao Nian with a sharp beak and a monkey cheek, and suddenly grinned.

"Miss Yao, meet again."

Yao Nian was stunned by his shouting, "How do you know me?" ”

He laughed, his voice sharp, "You don't know me, but I know you, I know that I will definitely find a water source with you, Lao Tzu really made the right bet this time." ”

"You're from Wafang Village!" Yao Nian stood up, her face solemn, she remembered that the person who followed the patriarch was him.

Xu Gui laughed, "That's right, but it's too late for you to know now." ”

When the words fell, he waved his hand, his big eyes narrowed, and he was very obscene, "Arrest them!" ”

"Who dares to move!" Liu Erqiang roared, pulled out the machete in the back basket, and looked at them vigilantly and sneered, "Whoever dares to move, I will cut off your dog's head!" ”

Xu Gui was not afraid at all, and even laughed arrogantly, "The three of you, a group of us, I think it's almost as good as if we cut off your dog's head, hahahaha." ”

The people next to him laughed along.

Yao Nian looked at this scene, his face was very bad, he finally found the water source, but he didn't expect it to be a praying mantis.
