"Drink up, mother. We'll be there soon anyway. I think it only lasts for one stick of incense at most. It's okay to wet your mouth if you can't."

Ah Jiu refused, and her mother's face turned red and dark from the sun, and her sweat dried up in the sun before it came out.

The sweat on the clothes made them stiff.

"Okay, let's get it wet." Cai Lihua was willing to take it and take a sip. When her tongue felt the coolness of the water, she quickly held it in her mouth and refused to swallow.

Several people took turns to take a sip and finally felt better.

When it was Wang's turn, Ah Jiu's hand was taken away again before she could reach out.

"Don't worry, I'll just take half a sip, you're so stingy." Wang sighed, shook her head, and poured it into her mouth.

Pick it up and lift it up to Lao Gao, eh?

Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes and glanced into the water bag, swayed for a moment, raised her head, and dropped one, then two drops.

"Gone?"

Wang's face turned dark, her mouth was swollen, her speech was slurred, and she was drooling a little.

Angrily, he stuffed the water bag into Ah Jiu and walked quickly to the front with his hands behind his back - out of sight, out of mind.

"Sister Ajiu, what's going on with grandma's mouth?" Xiao Yanyan wanted to ask just now on the way, but knew that she had a weird temper and didn't dare to say anything.

"Eat wheat straw." Ah Jiu told the truth, but she couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. Ah Nai probably wouldn't even let go of a fart with some spiritual energy.

"Stop saying a few words, it's important to preserve your physical strength." Meng Shaode warned.

Last night, Meng Shaode spent most of the night going back and forth. Now, several people arrived at Meng Shaode's designated place almost in the morning after being exposed to the sun for three hours.

"Walking through this patch of weeds, you can see green grass not far ahead. The puddle is quite hidden."

Meng Shaode's energy seemed to be back again.

Several people were panting but obviously speeded up their pace in unison, already imagining in their minds what it would be like to dive in and have a good drink.

Cai Lihua's first thought was to use the water source to show off her skills and make a good meal.

She also had to eat her own piece of bacon. If the man shot a pheasant again, she would never miss this opportunity to make a beggar's chicken for her daughter.

"Hey, where is it?" Wang pushed aside the grass and took a look. There was no water here.

Meng Shaode quickly put down the basket and took just two steps forward. He cleared away the grass and pointed at the puddle as big as the mouth of the water tank and said:

"Isn't it here?"

Ah Jiu went up and took a look. There was a layer of sludge underneath, and only a shallow layer of clear water no more than two fingers deep floating on top.

It is estimated that the three water bladders are not full.

No matter what, if there is water, the road is boundless. Ah Jiu quietly took out the water bag, carefully trying not to touch the mud below, and guided the water to the water bag.

"Lao Meng, I thought it was a pond." Cai Lihua was a little disappointed.

"Hey! This water is not as much as what I drank when I soaked in my urine." Wang turned around with her hands behind her back and sat cross-legged again.

"Something is better than nothing. When there was no severe drought, this was a lake. It would be nice to have so much left."

Meng Shaode felt that as long as he protected his family, he would be satisfied.

"Would you like me to help you?" Xiao Yanyan could see that this sister was the calmest and the best at understanding current affairs and leaving things alone.

"No, no, don't touch it." Ah Jiu quickly pushed him aside.

Once the water bag is full, the puddle will no longer be clear, and it must be clear before you can continue to fill the second water bag.

Moreover, there is even better news. Because of the water, there are several rare large trees with lush foliage around.

Everyone can drink water and enjoy the coolness below while waiting.

There were indeed pheasant paw prints and some bird droppings in the wet mud around the puddle.

Even if there wasn't much water, he could probably catch a few game by just waiting and relying on his father's skills. It wouldn't be a loss no matter what.

When Ah Jiu filled up the second water bag, the whole family quickly drank from the first water bag.

I just came back and was about to continue: "Dad, look at the horse hoof prints here. It looks like someone has been here."

Meng Shaode didn't notice and just got up.

The sound of horse hooves came from the east. The horse was very fast and arrived in an instant:

"Sir, I've already seen it. There is water here."

In an instant, several strong men on tall horses looked at Ah Jiu and the others.

Ah Jiu took a breath. She had lived in the Li family for so many years in her previous life, and she knew everyone here.
