At the beginning, I beat Lazy, and the host is cruel.

After the resting place in the village was arranged, some villagers who couldn't bear the hunger decided to go up the mountain in the dark to find some food. It was also good to find some weeds to satisfy their hunger.

Some people in the village have already begun to look around, but everyone is in groups of three or five, and the whole family goes together. The advantage of having more brothers and sisters in the family is reflected.

While on the road, the villagers did not move around at will. They did not have the strength and did not dare to leave the large army.

But now when I'm resting, I don't have to worry about that anymore. If I look around more, I might be able to find something to eat and drink.

The people left at the resting place were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Fortunately, Li Zheng arranged for more than ten strong men to stay and protect the base camp, fearing that their homes would be stolen.

Of course, if the protected people find some food and drink, they must give some to these strong men, otherwise who would be willing to stay in the camp!

At the end of summer, I and Mrs. Shi's family still settled together. This time they were basically close to each other. The space was limited and every household was quite close to each other.

Song Laicai cocked his head, looking wilted, and raised his eyelids from time to time. When his eyes glanced at the eldest girl and the second girl, he would pause slightly for a moment.

Xia Mo noticed Song Laicai's eyes and felt a little worried. This guy was hungry and anxious and might do bad things.

Xia Mo thought for a while and arranged the two girls next to Tie Dan. Tie Dan's ability was more than enough to defeat two or three Song Laicai.

Aunt Shi also warned Tiedan to be optimistic about the three siblings.

Xia Mo took a deep look at Song Laicai and said, "You'd better not have any ideas about your two girls. If one of them is missing when I come back, I will throw you up the mountain to feed the wolves."

She picked up a stone, approached Song Laicai, and crushed the stone with her bare hands.

Song Laicai raised his head and wanted to yell at Xia Mo, but was frightened by Xia Mo's actions. He actually felt the threat of death, which hit the depths of his soul.

He ducked his head and leaned against a stone without saying a word.

In the face of absolute strength, any trick is useless.

What Aunt Shi saw was Song Laicai drooping his head, ignoring the green grass approaching him to talk, as if he couldn't get in. She didn't see the green grass crushing the stone and shocking Song Laicai.

Aunt Shi worriedly warned Tiedan a few more times, and asked the two sisters to be smart and not follow their father out of the resting place in the village.

Before Xia Mo left, she looked around. Others looked at her and seemed to be whispering something to Song Laicai. In fact, she slashed his neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious.

Then, she and Mrs. Shi took their things, held torches, and headed up the mountain.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and only the moonlight shone on the ground. You could barely see the shadows of people. You could see many torches moving on the mountain, all of which were victims of the disaster who went up the mountain in search of water and food.

In order to save time, I went down the mountain early. In late summer, I didn’t go around in circles this time and went straight to the nearest water source.

It was dark, and Mrs. Shi had no sense of direction. She was not as fast as Xia Mo, so she followed Xia Mo up the mountain.

The victims all went deep into the mountains. Everyone subconsciously believed that there would be no water source halfway up the mountain, and if there was any water, it would have been drank up long ago, so there were very few torches burning on the mountainside.

Aunt Shi became more and more uneasy as she climbed higher and higher. There were waves of howling wolves coming from deep in the mountains. She was afraid that these animals would get hungry and come down to eat people. She was also a little worried about the villagers who were going deep into the mountains.

"Green grass~ Let's not go too far into the mountains! Listen to this sound, hey~~~ the animals are starving."

"Well, I understand. Let's just look for it on the mountainside instead of going over the mountain."

"Hey~~~~"

Aunt Shi sighed deeply, but there was no other way. She really couldn't hold up her physical strength and went over the mountain to look for her. If she encountered a wild beast, she would be doomed. She couldn't take this risk. She still had My son and mother-in-law have to take care of me.

Aunt Shi didn't stop along the way. Her tired legs and feet were shaking a little. She gritted her teeth and followed Xia Mo with heavy steps.

Although I am very strong at the end of summer, the soles of my feet are almost unbearable and the pain is burning. When I go down the mountain, I have to buy a pair of thick-soled shoes. The soles of my feet are almost exposed due to the wear of these shoes.

The only good thing is that the water source was found immediately, and the rich water vapor was already felt in late summer.

Moreover, there are relatively few people here, and they are probably heading into the mountains. Maybe they can find some food on the edge of the mountains.

Passing through several towering trees, the overlapping branches were tangled together. There were almost no leaves on them, and the remaining scattered ones hanging on the trees were already withered and yellow.

Aunt Shi looked at the bare trees and remained silent for a long time. Oh my God, this harmful thief!

At the end of summer, you should do whatever you want. There are so many things to think about. It would be strange if no one picks this green spot. As long as there is water, there is no need to worry about starving to death. Where there is water, there will definitely be something to eat.

Xia Mo called Aunt Shi and went into the forest next to her.

After such a long drought, there are only some dead trees left in the forest, and there are withered and yellow weeds everywhere underfoot.

At the end of summer, I pulled away the dead branches blocking the road and continued to dig in. This place is really difficult to walk. There are many small thorns on the criss-crossing dead branches. If you are not careful, you can prick your hand. No wonder no one comes here. Looking for water.

Xia Mo took the bamboo section and swung it around vigorously, sweeping away all the dead vines in front. These small thorns pricked his feet and it was really painful.

Aunt Shi was doing better following Xia Mo, even with a few small thorns stuck in the soles of her feet.

Walking further inside, I could have half a stick of incense. At the end of summer, I discovered a stream, winding down from the high mountains. The water flow was relatively slow, but it was obvious that this stream had existed for a long time. There was thick moss on the surrounding stones.

This is living water, maybe there are some fish and shrimps in it.

The sky is too dark now, especially when it is covered by large dead trees, which makes it even darker.

Aunt Shi followed a little slower, not seeing the stream yet.

At the end of summer, I had picked up a few dead branches and piled them together, and lit the fire with a torch.

Aunt Shi suddenly felt her eyes suddenly light up. When she looked forward, she realized that it was green grass making a fire.

"Green grass~ Why are you building a fire here?"

Aunt Shi held up the torch and walked toward Xia Mo with her head lowered while asking.

Xia Mo chuckled lightly and said, "Auntie, come over here first."

When Aunt Shi heard Xia Mo's laughter, her eyes lit up and she quickened her pace, regardless of whether the ground was poking her feet or not.

"Qingcao, what did you find?"

Aunt Shi couldn't help but asked softly.

"Auntie, look over there."

Aunt Shi looked in the direction Xia Mo pointed. It was dark and nothing could be seen. She took two steps forward holding the torch.

"Water——it's water!"

Aunt Shi screamed excitedly, she was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth and shed tears of joy.

Aunt Shi looked at Xia Mo with trembling lips, and was speechless with joy. This was really life-saving water!

There was a smile on Xia Mo's face, "Auntie, let's drink some water first, then pack the water and look around the creek. Maybe we can find something to eat."

Aunt Shi wiped her tears and nodded heavily.

Xia Mo and Aunt Shi lay down by the stream with their buttocks sticking out, taking a few sips of water to quench their thirst.

In fact, it is best to boil this water before drinking it, but the two of them are really thirsty, so let's quench their thirst first!

The two quickly filled up the water. Aunt Shi held up a torch and searched for it by the creek, while Xia Mo held up a torch and looked into the water.
