Because they didn't have a good rest, everyone was very tired from walking this way, and the road ahead seemed to be distorted in the harsh sunlight.

Although the eyes are fine, they are not too hot, and only the eyes are cool all over the body.

"Water, give me some more water." The sweat drops on Su Buwei's chin fell to the ground with a click, smashing a thumb-sized water mark, you can imagine how hot he is.

I'm afraid that the little water I drank was used to sweat!

Zhao didn't search, the empty water bladder in his hand was filled with water in an instant, "Drink, drink it, wash your hands and face to cool down by the way." ”

Such a luxurious approach was not opposed by the family, and they even broke the jar and wanted to take a cold shower.

So the family stopped again, drank water one by one, washed their faces, and then got back on the road, anyway, they didn't care how long the time had passed.

After walking for a long time, Su Bu was shocked to see that someone seemed to be emerging from the soil in front of him.

Huh? Finally someone!

Su Buxing was overjoyed, and rushed to the front at once, pointing his finger far ahead, "Auntie and Daddy, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

As long as they find someone, they can find out where the people in the south are.

"I'm with my sister!"

Su Buwei shook his head and ran behind Su Bujing.

Zhao and Su Yuanshan looked at each other helplessly, beckoning Su Buxian to follow along, Ah Yu forgot in a hurry, they can't stay away now, otherwise their eyes will not be able to adapt.

Su Bujing, who ran out of the middle section, also came back to his senses, stood in place and waited for a while, smiled embarrassedly, and did not continue to walk until the family members got together.

The figure in front of him kept bending and standing up straight, as if picking up something, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a half-grown boy.

The boy was dark-skinned, wearing only a vest with exposed arms, and his sweaty face was covered with fine droplets of water, as if he had smeared his face with black oil.

He carried a gray cloth around his waist, and at this time he was constantly picking up the long objects on the ground and throwing them into it, and the vigorous posture did not take long for him to sweat, and the place where he stood was wet.

Su Buyi's eyes looked at the young man without a trace, and then stepped forward to talk kindly: "This brother..."

"Scared!"

The young man seemed to be frightened by Su Buyi's scream, and he staggered back half a step, and the pocket in his hand accidentally shook off two long objects.

"You... Which city are you from? How can you walk on the ground? ”

If you don't walk on the ground, do you walk underground?!

Su Bujing and the others were speechless with black lines.

The young man noticed that this group of people were wearing long clothes, although they were all wet with sweat, but he could vaguely see the pale skin under the thin clothes, and he was shocked, "You..."

He saw that Su Buyi's eye skin who was talking to him was so white that it even dazzled his eyes.

"I have offended the adults, please forgive the adults for their rudeness, and don't drive the small ones out!" The young man was so frightened that he fell to his knees, trembling and begging for mercy, his eyes only daring to stare at the tips of Su Buyi's shoes.

Oh, this boy is called Xiaoyong! But why do you beg for mercy as soon as you see them?!

Are they so scary?

Su Bu stopped the family members who wanted to help people, and asked with a straight face: "Xiaoyong, you get up first, we have something to ask you." ”

Xiao Yongcheng looked at Su Bu in fear, and made sure that she didn't have killing intent, so he bowed back in fear: "My lord, you ask, as long as you don't drive me out, you can cut off my hands!" ”

Su Bu didn't want to hear this, how could she cut off her hands if she didn't agree with her. "Whatever I ask, you say, you know, little use."

Seeing Xiao Yong's vigorous nod, Su Bu added again: "We won't kill anyone." ”

But Xiao Yong obviously did not believe it, he had met too many people who claimed to be kind and kind, and once they believed it, they would be thrown to the ground and burned alive by these kind people.

"These people who have no dignity should let them know that they are powerful." That's what the adults say.

That's how his best friend died.

Xiao Yong stabilized his panic, his forehead was on the hot ground, and he didn't dare to exceed the rules for half a minute, "My lord, may I ask." That's how he survived until now.

Anyway, maybe he'll be more comfortable with it?

"Tell me what you know." Su Bu paused and added, "I mean the situation underground, from beginning to end. ”

Xiaoyong did not hesitate at all, and replied after a slight wording: "There are few major droughts in the south, and when there was a big drought before, we didn't take it seriously, thinking that it would always rain, but slowly, it disappeared at night, and the ground was getting hotter and hotter, and the Ying River in my village was dry, and many people were dying of heat and thirst, and the court didn't care about us..."

"Fortunately, the adults were kind enough to take us to dig holes in the ground, hoping to build a place where people could live underground, but because the digging time was not long, and the underground was still very crowded, most untouchables like me could only go in occasionally, and they continued to dig the ground regularly. When we rest, we go to the ground to collect straw mushrooms, and every once in a while, an official will come to collect them, which is equivalent to the grain tax we have to pay. ”

"The underground is now governed by the Governor of Jianzhou, the Governor of Lingzhou, and the Governor of Tanzhou, and many nobles like you can live in it. As for the situation on your side, the untouchables dare not inquire. ”

Listening to the words of overly belittling herself and elevating others, Su Buxing was a little distracted, she twisted a wilted straw mushroom from the cloth pocket she used since she was a child, and looked at it carefully.

Good guy, this straw mushroom is not much thicker than straw, it is astringent and dry to the touch, can it really be eaten?

Su Buwei asked curiously, "Is it really cooler underground?" You sleep without being affected by the above? ”

Xiao Xin wondered, how could a person with such clean and fair skin, who must be a powerful nobleman living underground, ask him such a question?

"The untouchables don't know, because the untouchables are not qualified to sleep underground, and the one who can rest underground must be an adult like you."

The corners of Su Bu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, what are you talking about! Sounds so wrong!

According to him, all the dead bodies that have slept underground for hundreds or thousands of years are gods!

Su Buwei muttered in a low voice, "How can you still curse people when you talk well." Sure enough, he also wanted to be crooked.

Xiao Yong didn't hear it, he was so hot that he was uncomfortable, especially his forehead, as if it was about to burn.

Still, he was on his knees.

"Well, let's drink some water." Zhao took out a skin water bladder, which is called a small child who looks as big as he doesn't remember, but it is distressing to walk on thin ice.

"Water?!" Xiao Yong rubbed it up all of a sudden, staring at the skin water bladder with red eyes, and the Adam's apple kept squirming.

Yes... How long has it been since he's drunk water?

Xiao Yong looked down at the straw mushroom. For a long time, he has been using saved straw mushrooms for water.
