After walking for about an incense stick of time, the shadow of a village appeared in front of them.

Yang Dashu smiled and said, "There really is a village."

When they got closer, they noticed a stone tablet at the entrance of the village with the two words "Luo Village" engraved on it.

"Haha, it seems that the shopkeeper didn't lie to you, it's really Luocun."

Yang Lizheng called a few representatives to go into the village to talk to people, and Su Yin also went with them.

As they approached the village, the children in the village saw them and ran away without waiting for them to speak, shouting, "People from outside the village are coming, people from outside the village are coming."

Soon, a group of young men holding rakes and hoes rushed out of the house and came towards them.

Su Yin and others stopped immediately and did not dare to move forward.

The people on the opposite side stared at them with murderous eyes, pointing their weapons at them.

They were looking at Su Yin and his group, and Su Yin and the others were also looking at them, especially Su Yin.

Su Yin recognized at a glance the men standing at the front of the team; their faces had appeared in her dreams before.

The dream I had yesterday was a prophetic dream.

In this tense atmosphere, Yang Lizheng spoke at the right time to break the atmosphere, "Don't be nervous, we have no ill intentions. I am the Lizheng of Xinghua Village in Dongtu County, my surname is Yang. May I ask if the Lizheng of your village is available?"

Not long after, an old man with white hair was supported by someone and walked out from the back of the crowd.

The old man looked at them and his eyes stopped at Yang Lizheng. "I am the head of Luo Village, my last name is Luo. Yang Lizheng, no matter what your purpose is in coming to our village, we do not welcome you. Please leave immediately."

Butcher Yang was the most impatient. When he heard that the other party was driving people away without asking any questions, he said anxiously, "Luo Lizheng, we just came here to refill some water. Please be flexible."

"Go away, go away. Our village doesn't even have enough water, so we can't give it to you." The man from Luo Village refused directly.

"You guys leave quickly!"

"Yes, leave quickly, you are not welcome in Luo Village."

"Humph, who knows whether you are here to get water or to steal something?" someone said sarcastically.

…

Village Chief Luo said, "Yang Lizheng, you can see that our village does not welcome outsiders."

When Su Yin heard that, she probably understood why they were so xenophobic and hostile to them.

Yang Lizheng looked worried. "Luo Lizheng, I am sorry to bother you so much. The river has dried up along the way and we have not been able to find any water. Many families in the village have no water to use. It is so hot today. If we cannot find any water, we will die of thirst. If your village can donate a few buckets of water, we will be very grateful."

"We don't need your gratitude. We are short of water ourselves, so we can't give you any."

Yang Lizheng and others were disappointed. They had already realized that they would definitely not give it and it was useless to talk any more.

Just as they were about to leave, Su Yin spoke up, "I wonder if anyone would be willing to sell me a bucket of water? I'm willing to pay two cents."

As soon as these words were spoken, many people in the opposite crowd were moved, but no one dared to speak, and all stared at the head of the village.

Luo Lizheng sighed, "Forget it, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. There is not much water in our village, we can only sell ten buckets of water, but each bucket is five cents."

Yang Dashu and others, who had just shown joy on their faces, froze when they heard the price.

Five cents for a bucket of water, few people can accept this price.

Yang Lizheng nodded and thanked him, "Thank you Luo Lizheng for your help."

He turned around and told his eldest son Yang Fu, "Tell the rest of the village that if anyone is willing to buy it, come over and buy it."

When the news got back, many people cursed.

"Five cents a bucket of water, why don't you grab it?"

"This is too expensive. If it were two cents, I could have gritted my teeth and bought a bucket."

"I wanted to buy it, but the price is too expensive, so forget it. I still have some water at home, so it can last for a while."

"If we find a source of water tomorrow, wouldn't that be a waste of five cents?"

In the end, only a few people came to buy water.

These families are really short of water and have to spend money.

Su Yin also bought a bucket of water.

Mother Su scolded, "Girl, we still have some water to last for a few days. Why waste this money?"

The eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the youngest aunt all gathered around.

"Yinyin, are you out of water? We still have some here."

"Yeah, we still have some here."

My aunt-in-law even scooped up half a bucket of water.

Su Yin quickly refused, "I was thinking of buying a bucket, just in case."

The three aunts didn't believe it at first, but after Su's mother's testimony, the three of them criticized Su Yin for spending five cents to buy water.

Su Yin could only hang her head and humbly accept the care and love from her three aunts.

Since last night's dream was a predictive dream, I must find a way to help them avoid the horse bandits.

There is only one way to avoid the horse bandits, and that is to enter the mountains and forests before the horse bandits arrive.

But now we are walking on the official road and everything is going well, but it is a bit difficult for everyone to enter the forest.

Su Yin approached Yang Lizheng, "Third Grandfather, I just remembered something. The shopkeeper who told me anecdotes before mentioned that there is a mountain with two peaks near Luo Village. There is mountain spring water under the two peaks. The water there is sweet and fresh, and it is most suitable for making tea."

Butcher Yang was overjoyed, "Su girl, are you telling the truth?"

"If he didn't lie to me, then it must be true."

"I'm sure I didn't lie to you. What happened in Luo Village before is the best proof. I just wonder if the mountain spring he mentioned has dried up?"

"Probably not. The shopkeeper said that the spring water will not dry up for a hundred years."

"If that's the case, why are the people in Luo Village still short of water and unwilling to give it?" Yang Fu looked puzzled.

Without waiting for Su Yin to speak, Yang Dashu smiled and said, "It's far away. It's troublesome to get water from there."

"Uncle Dashu is right. I heard from the shopkeeper that the spring water there is hidden and few people know about it. He only knew about it from the herbalists. The shopkeeper also said that after finding the spring water, there is a small path over there that can lead to Yongqing County."

While they were talking, a group of refugees who looked just like them, with their families, appeared from behind.

When Su Yin saw them, her heart tightened.

Seeing them means the bandits are coming soon.

However, in the dream, the horse bandits came at 3 p.m.

There is still one hour left until Wei time.

If we encounter them early, then will we also encounter the horse bandits early?

Su Yin became anxious when she thought of the group of killers behind her.

"Third Grandfather, let's go through the mountains. Although the road is difficult to walk in the mountains, the woods provide shade and we can get water. It's killing two birds with one stone."

"I think it's okay." Butcher Yang raised his hand in agreement.

"That's fine with me."

Yang Lizheng thought about it and made a decision to change the route.

The others knew that there were springs in the mountains where they could get water and that they could also go to Yongqing County, so they all agreed.

Yang Lizheng glanced at the crowd behind him and didn't leave in a hurry.

"Let's wait until they leave before we leave."
