Chapter 342: Asking for Water

In the middle of June, the plague of locusts came as promised, and the scale was not as good as before, and the people rose up in groups and cheered, catching and eating locusts.

By the end of June, the number of members of the 'Divine Redemption Sect' had reached 300,000, and it was unknown how it had fed so many people.

At the beginning of July, the canal was cut off, the transportation was not passable, the transportation cost rose sharply, all of them flowed in all directions, the land route went south, the richest 'Gumengzhou' of the imperial court could not transport the grain and rice to the north, the price of rice in the north skyrocketed, it has reached 24 taels of silver and one stone, the emperor gathered the ministers to raise money, and finally got more than 30,000 taels, and it was difficult to solve the crisis in case of emergency.

At the beginning of July, the 'Tianxiong Kingdom' re-attacked 'Beichuan', and the three cities, the soldiers and soldiers of the 'Beichuan' army were trapped, and the imperial court reinforced the army of 50,000 and sent Jiang Yuanling's famous general Feng Weiding to lead it.

In the middle of July, the water depth of the fish pond can not carry the boat, the "Yang Dao League" everyone carries the bucket to collect water storage, and then barefoot fish and eat, the most pity is the fish pond that intercepts the flow, although the fish are the least, but a considerable part of them are naturally bred into the 'golden perch', the precious abnormality, in the past it was the best in the food, but at this moment the water in the fish pond is gone, and the precious fish have to be salvaged and eaten, when the locust bark is not full of days, this kind of fish is not cared for.

On July 18, only the silt remained in the fish pond, and on the 19th, the silt was dry, and the ground cracked like a turtle's back.

On 25 July, all the wells belonging to the 'Yang Dao League' dried up, and from late July to September, the people at the helm of the 'Yang Dao League' had been feeding on the fish in the fish pond and drinking the water from the fish pond.

The fish are salvaged back and there is not enough water and food to eat, there are many people who die every day, the people who can't eat the bad ones are still eating, the water has been placed in the tank for many days and has already changed its taste, and everyone has to drink, the fish can not be eaten, you can still eat the locusts, but there is no way to put the water bad, there are many sick people in the gang, and three people die of malaria, for Lang Zhong of the 'Yang Dao League', malaria is not to death, but taking medicine while drinking dirty water is useless after all.

From the end of spring to September, the people in the 'Yang Dao League' kept digging wells as long as they were free, and after half a year, they didn't know how many wells they dug up, and they didn't know how deep they dug without wells, and the result was that they either couldn't dig up the water or they dried up not long after the water was dug out. At the end of July, Liang Xie said goodbye to the fish pond and officially participated in digging the well, more than a month has passed, and no well has been dug out of water, and Liang Xie is also a little desperate at this time.

The entire 'Autumn Pond Mountain' stretches for more than 2,000 miles, and there is no water except for the 'Autumn Pond'. 'Autumn Pond', 'Autumn Pond Mountain' on the largest, most famous natural lake, originally grass and fish fat, among which the 'Golden Perch' is one of the unique products, the famous dish 'Autumn Water Point Golden Perch' when the Mid-Autumn Water Water was originally derived from the 'Autumn Pool', how can this lake water clear and sufficient, the most suitable 'God of Wealth' to heal, after several times of healing, among which the 'Golden Perch' died a lot, Shao Mingqian then salvaged a lot of fish and threw them into the fish pond, here is dedicated to the 'God of Wealth' to heal, and finally the 'God of Wealth' died,' Autumn Pond has also become a dead lake, not only is there no living life in the whole lake, but even the surrounding vegetation does not grow.

The original refreshing, sweet and refreshing lake water has also become cold, even in the middle of summer, a sip can also make life a serious illness, the weak body is more so to die, the lake just thawed that year, twelve scholars came here to travel, drink the lake water, twelve people in less than half an hour have blood coagulation and died, although the cold in the following years has melted a lot, but the people who drank the lake water are still light or serious illness and death, drink once and nine deaths, drinking for a long time is iron death. If you drink dirty water, you may get sick, and if you drink the water of the Autumn Pond, you may die, and the water in the Autumn Pond will naturally not dare to move.

On September 18, Liang Xie came to the 'Autumn Pool' again, in September, and the order belonged to the third autumn...... The 'Autumn Pool' has frozen, and there is only a small piece of the water surface that is less than one-fifth of the water surface that can not be seen at a glance, perhaps the 'Autumn Pool' is cold, and it freezes earlier every year, so it has not dried up, or maybe the 'Autumn Pool' is really big enough and deep enough so it has not dried up, but no matter what the reason, if it is as dry as this year next year, the 'Autumn Pool' may not be able to hold on.

Liang Xie stepped on the ice and couldn't help but recall the past when Feng Qi assassinated him, although Feng Qi almost killed him, but Liang Xie didn't hate her at all, but felt sorry for Feng Qi.

"Alas!" Liang Xie sighed helplessly, Feng Qi is a good woman, dare to love and hate, dare to act, and her temperament is not restrained and twisted, but fate plays tricks, she has never had a good life in her life, and finally ended up with a tragic death, in fact, who is not a dog of fate in this troubled world?

"It's a pity that the water here can't be drunk, otherwise everyone would have been saved. "Liang Xie shook his head and retreated from the ice back to the shore, walking upward, there are three rooms not far from the top of the 'Autumn Pool', Liang Xie has lived here for a while, and the 'God of Wealth' has also lived for a while, the people of the original 'Yang Dao Alliance' will come to see these three rooms every once in a while, occasionally repairing and repairing, and then the famine became more and more serious, and these useless houses were ignored, and they didn't look dilapidated at the moment.

Liang Xie walked up for a while and paused, he suddenly thought of something, he remembered that when Feng Qi assassinated him, he, Feng Qi and Liu Shiyi all fell into the ice cave, and the three of them more or less drank some water in the 'Autumn Pool', and they also drank two sips of water at that time, and they were not sick, the water of this 'Autumn Pool' didn't seem to be as powerful as the senior brother said, could it be that those people who died were all coincidences, and the water of the 'Autumn Pool' would not die at all if they drank it? Or did the water of the 'Autumn Pool' have dissipated the cold and can be drunk at that time? If it is said that Liu Shiyi is sick, it is very normal to be sick after being soaked in cold water in winter.......

Liang Xie walked towards the room while thinking, and couldn't help but be happy for his conjecture, if this was the case, he could be regarded as a great favor to the 'Yang Dao Alliance'.

Liang Xie reached out to push the door of one of the rooms, the door 'squeaked' and opened softly, not locked at all, Liang Xie remembered that the door was locked when they left, just when Liang Xie had just raised doubts in his heart, the scene in front of him completely solved the mystery in his heart - the people in the house, several people, one of them stared at Liang Xie who entered the door and made a cold smile, it was no eyes, no ears, a smile with white bones, Liang Xie was startled by this sudden scene, subconsciously closed the door and jumped back.

A dizzying stench swept into Liang Xie's nose along the wind brought by the door, causing Liang Xie's heart to soar and almost faint.

Calming down, Liang Xie closed his breath and pushed the door of the house again, this time he was prepared and would not be shocked again, there were five people sitting on the ground of the house, to be precise, five corpses, these five corpses sat cross-legged on the ground and their fingers were pinching luck, there was a pile of ashes in the circle, the five people were already rotting, their faces collapsed, their bodies were flattened, and a large piece of the ground was soaked in the corpse fluid of five dead people, and the stains were stained.

Liang Xie looked at it a few times and retreated and closed the door again, and then pushed open the door of the next room, there was no one in the room, only a bucket that fell to the ground and an upside-down wooden basin, Liang Xie saw that he didn't find anything and closed the door, and then opened the door of the third house. This house has a kitchen, there is a large water tank in the kitchen, and there is a small half tank of water in the water tank, Liang Xie glanced at the water tank and looked into the pot on the stove, this is an iron pot, the iron pot is rusty, and there is a pile of green or yellow slag sticking to it on the side of the pot, although there is no shape anymore, Liang Xie still sees the clues.

This disgusting scum is the color of the locusts, he is too familiar with these things, looking at the rust circles in the pot and the sticky yellow, yellow, green and green things at a glance, he can deduce that there was water in this pot, and there are some locusts soaked in the water, maybe it is to soak it to death, wash and eat, or it may be to cook and eat, in short, it is to eat, and as a result, five people died, and no one paid attention to the locusts in this pot, so it bubbled, and then the water in the pot dried up and stuck to the edge of the pot.

When he thought of these Liang Xie couldn't help but feel sick again, he was disgusted and wondered, who were these five people and why did they die? The answer is not difficult to guess, these five people may be people who are looking for water and food together, and they live here when they see that there is room and water here, but they didn't expect to die, and they just died one or two, all five of them died, and they were pinching luck before they died, and they were still roasting fire, which is very weird, you know, just in the first half of the month, the weather was still relatively warm, and there was no need for fire at all.

"Still not right. "Liang Xie couldn't help but wonder again, he also drank water, why was he fine, even if he drank less water, and there was no big problem with the 'Heavenly Root Formula' body protection, what about Feng Qi, what about Liu Shiyi? He just denied his opinion and suddenly remembered that his stomach seemed to hurt for a long time that day, and Liu Shiyi was also a martial arts practitioner, and it seemed that the wind and cold were so serious It seems that it can't be justified, as for Feng Qi, she died tragically later, and I don't know if she was sick, so' The water of Qiuchi's is still not drinkable, at least not too much, let alone all year round.

This is a discovery that makes him extremely depressed, the sky is frozen, and the well can no longer dig water, and after a period of time it will become more and more impossible to dig, and the saved water is about to run out, and after a while, there will be no water to drink, will everyone be thirsty to death?

Walking to the water (ice) again, stepping on the ice, Liang Xie decided to give it a try, he first chiseled a hole in the ice, and the clear waves rippled inside, as if there was a sweet feeling, such clear water had not tasted for a long time.

Liang Xie leaned down and picked up a handful, the biting chill along the knuckles seemed to be about to drill into the body, Liang Xie drank the water in his hand in two sips, the entrance was sweet, sure enough, the water was good, he drank it all three times in a row but did not dare to drink it again, in recent years, he has been practicing the 'Tiangen Jue' every day, since the recovery of his strength, he feels that the internal strength is increasing day by day, although he does not know how strong his strength is now, but it will be much stronger than when he fell into the water, and he only made his stomach ache slightly for half a day when he drank two sips, and this time he drank seven or eight sips should still be under control.

Qing Shui into the abdomen Liang Xie was no different except for feeling a burst of refreshment, he knew that with his body was far from the time of the attack, so he sat on the shore and waited for a long time, sure enough, his stomach gradually had some pain, but it was only pain, it did not have much effect at all, he hesitated for a moment, and the chiseled ice surface formed a thin layer of ice.

He smashed it open again and drank seven or eight sips of water in his hand, only for a while, his stomach began to gurgle, and there were bursts of colic in his abdomen, and even his head was a little painful, Liang Xie did not deliberately use his strength to disperse and endure it, because most people did not have his body and strength, and he did not have the internal strength at the moment, so if he used his internal force to drive away the cold, this method was meaningless to others, and it was still not possible to drink it for a long time, so Liang Xie gritted his teeth and jumped into the ice cave and drank more than 20 sips in one breath before climbing up.

In the case of giving up the internal strength to resist, this time he finally knew what it meant to be cold to the bone marrow, in addition to the cold, there seemed to be a layer of cold in the water that penetrated through the veins and drilled in the body, which was cold from the inside out, and in an instant, Liang Xie's eyebrows were frosty, and his brain seemed to be wooden all of a sudden, and his hands and feet were a little disobedient. Tiangenjue's internal force immediately protected the body, Liang Xie forced the internal strength to stop, the chill raged, Liang Xie carried it hard, until it was nearly dusk, the feeling gradually lessened, and after a while, his hands and feet gradually recovered, and Liang Xie took a breath.

He imitated the state of Liu Shiyi in the water last time, this time he did not use internal force to deliberately resist just by relying on a strong body to get through it safely, although there was a pain for half a day, it was much lighter than Liu Shiyi's serious illness, it seemed that the water in the 'Autumn Pool' was not as domineering as a few years ago, which made his already disappointed mood rekindle a glimmer of hope, thinking of this, he hurriedly went to the house to get two wooden barrels, cleaned them and took two buckets of water back to the rudder.
