As soon as he took a sip with his mouth, he stopped and handed the bamboo tube to Bai Xia.

"Sanya, I'm not thirsty"

In this world, the water source is scarce, and he doesn't know if there is water to drink behind, he said that he was not thirsty, but there was still some reluctance in his eyes.

"Drink, I've got a lot of water."

Whether he is thirsty or not, he doesn't count if he says it, Bai Xia only counts if he says it.

The two of them have been in the mountains together for so long, how can they not be thirsty, they are all dehydrated.

Bai Xia handed him the bamboo tube again, his eyes lit up, and he took it and drank it, and the water of the bamboo tube dried up half of the bamboo tube directly.

That's it, isn't this thirsty?

Bai Xia was a little funny.

After he had drunk the water, the two continued on their way to town.

The only advantage of this dry weather is probably that the moon is big and round, and even if you walk in the dark, you can see some shadows.

Anyone who walks at night in summer knows that when you see a reflective place, don't step on it, because it's likely to be a puddle.

But there can't be a puddle now.

"Sanya, where are we going?"

Maybe it was too quiet along the way, Li Xiuyuan was a little scared and couldn't help but speak.

Bai Xia thought for a moment.

Bai Sanya and Li Xiuyuan have never left Lijia Village, Bai Sanya's original hometown is in the northwest, I only remember that it is called Jizhou, when the hometown suffered a disaster, the grain was not harvested, and the silver of the imperial court disaster relief was greedy by corrupt officials, resulting in everyone having no rice to eat, and finally had to flee the famine.

The northwest is remote and the road is far away, and you are not allowed to enter the city when you encounter the city along the way, and you have to be driven away by the government.

Rest outside at night, eat and sleep in the open, and sometimes if you are unlucky, you will encounter wild beasts.

Their situation is only worse.

"When we got to town, we asked someone to see if we could get a map, and if we could, we decided which direction to go."

In the end, Bai Xia still planned to get a map first.

I didn't think there was navigation before, but now when I get to this place where there is no satellite navigation, where to go is really a black eye.

Although she is not a road idiot, she can't remember every road.

"What's a map?"

Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, but it was too dark, and Bai Xia didn't see it when he walked, and at this moment he was looking at Bai Xia with a confused expression, as if he really didn't understand what a map was.

Bai Xia paused, then stopped, and looked at the sky sky, it was still dark, and there was not much light.

However, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, similar to this kind of common-sense question, she feels that it is necessary to give Li Xiuyuan a score.

I saw that she picked up a branch from the side, which was actually taken out of the transformation pool, but it was too dark, and Li Xiuyuan didn't see it.

She squatted on the ground, poured a little water out of the bamboo tube and poured it on the ground, drew three small circles on the ground with a branch, and then connected the three small circles with lines, and then marked the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest respectively.

"Come, Brother Yuan, look, here, it's Lijia Village, here, it's Linjia Village, and then this is the town, we walked from Lijia Village to Linjia Village tonight, and then from Linjia Village to the town, the lines drawn on the ground represent the road we can walk."

"If we know the route from Lijia Village to the town, then we don't have to go around a big circle from Linjia Village to the town, just start from Lijia Village."

"Therefore, a picture with the name, direction, and route of a place like this is called a map."

It was very dark, and Li Xiuyuan had to open his eyes wide and lower his head a lot to see what Bai Xia had drawn.

Seeing the picture on the ground, he nodded as if he didn't understand.

"So, is a map a topographic map?"

"You can also say that"

Bai Xia nodded, it's just that maps are common in modern times, and they are not a big thing, but in ancient times, this thing is basically a military secret, but I am afraid that it is not so easy to obtain.

But she was not in a hurry, but she took advantage of this time to rest with Li Xiuyuan, and taught this baby by the way.

"Then Brother Yuan, do you know why we went from Lijia Village to Linjia Village first, and then from Linjia Village to the town?"

"Because you don't know the road from Lijia Village to Linjia Village", Li Xiuyuan will answer the question, so he answered it in one bite.

"That's one reason, and what else?" Bai Xia looked at him encouragingly.

He frowned and pondered, just as a dark cloud moved away overhead, and the silver-white moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting on Bai Xia's body, and also shining out the bamboo tube wrapped around her waist.

His eyes lit up.

"Looking for water?"

"By the way, our brother is awesome" Bai Xia gave a thumbs up, and then explained: "The well in Lijia Village has dried up, and many villagers have even left the village, both of us are little dolls, we have fled all the way, and we don't know when it will be a head, and our water source is only a little bit"

"A Man Who Doesn't Drink Water, But He Kills"

"So we had to find enough water before we were ready to leave the village."

"Linjia Village is relatively large, there are more wells in the village, and although the drought is serious, there may still be water, so in addition to the fact that we don't know the route from Lijia Village to the town, it is also a good place to come to Linjia Village to find water."

"No, let's find it" Bai Xia raised the bamboo tube in his hand, which was full of six tubes of water.

Li Xiuyuan was also happy, but soon wondered: "But why do we have to go to the town?" ”

Silly boy, that's because your mother was sold by your grandfather to a traveling merchant in the town.

Bai Xia muttered these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Didn't you say that, we're going to find a map"

"And then decide where to go"

Bai Xia took his hand and began to hurry up again.

Li Xiuyuan nodded his head, as if he understood or not.

The figures of the two were stretched by the moonlight, until the moon set in the west, and the sky brightened, and the two of them could be regarded as coming to the outside of the town.

The town itself is called Wujia Town, just because there is a big family surnamed Wu in the town, and then a group of small traders begging for a living live are gathered around, and a town is slowly formed.

It is said to be a town, but it is actually a market where everyone buys and sells barter.

Before entering Wujia Town, Bai Xia found an acquaintance with sharp eyes, and she hurriedly pulled Li Xiuyuan to hide aside.

"Brother Yuan, do you see if the one in front of you is Second Lady Li?"

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and nodded again and again: "It's the second mother-in-law, the one next to me is Aunt Chunlin, and Huzi"

Li Chunlin is a fellow villager of Lijia Village, married to the eldest son of Li's second mother-in-law, and everyone usually calls him Aunt Chunlin.

At this moment, Li Erpo is sitting on the street of the town with a stick in her hand, and the Chunlin family is holding the seven-year-old tiger next to her, the clothes on the two of them are so black that they can't see the color, and their faces are also thin and thin, and they are sitting on the ground decadently, sleeping with their eyes closed.

Not far away, Bai Xia also found several other daughters-in-law and grandchildren of Second Wife Li.

"Sanya, are we going to help the second mother-in-law?"

Li Xiuyuan took Bai Xia's hand tightly, they were all from the same village, and seeing them like this, he felt very uncomfortable.
