Now that Su Huaiyue has made up her mind, this thing must be given to her.
Wei Ersao felt so ashamed by what the old lady said that she could only lower her head and remain silent, but her resentment towards Su Huaiyue deepened in her heart.
She would never let Su Huaiyue be proud for too long!
"Alright! Hurry up and get going. What are you arguing about?"
"You still think you're some noble in the capital? If I catch you making a scene again, I'll lock you all up!"
An officer came forward cursing.
This man's name is Wang Laosan, the youngest child in the Wang family. His father and brothers were all members of the Wei family army. When he was six years old, they were all judged as deserters due to a war. They were eventually caught by the court and beaten to death. He has always had a deep hatred for the Wei family.
"It's all her fault. If she hadn't always been unreasonable, we wouldn't have had a dispute." Wei Ersao stared at Su Huaiyue viciously.
Su Huaiyue rolled her eyes at her, thinking that this person was extremely speechless.
Turning around, I saw a pile of rocks not far away, surrounded by camel thorns.
Although they collected rainwater yesterday and filled everyone's water bags, it would still take several days to get out of the desert. Unless they were absolutely necessary and about to faint from thirst, no one was willing to drink the water in the water bags. Their lips were all dry and cracked.
Su Huaiyue had read in a book that this camel thorn had well-developed rhizomes that were tens of meters long and could find water sources hidden underground!
She reached out and touched her water bag. She had already drunk most of it, and she guessed that others had done the same.
She took a few quick steps and called out to Lord Li, "Lord Li, we still have several days of journey ahead of us in this desert. We should use water sparingly, but if there's a chance we can find a water source, we should do our best to find it, right?"
Lord Li raised his eyebrows slightly. "That makes sense, but Madam, this is a vast expanse of yellow sand. What solutions have you come up with?"
Wei Ersao glanced at her coldly and muttered softly, "Pretending."
She knew her voice was very soft, but the old lady still heard it and gave her an unpleasant look.
Su Huaiyue pointed to the pile of rocks in the distance, "Those are the camel thorns! As long as we dig down along the path of the camel thorns, we'll find water!"
Lord Li was interested, but felt that this was impossible.
"Madam Wei, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course! I'm not sure exactly how many meters we need to dig, but we can give it a try."
When Wei Ersao heard this, she rolled her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, why are you so alarmist? I've never heard of such a way to find water. Are you kidding us?"
She looked at Su Huaiyue with dissatisfaction.
Su Huaiyue was not angry when he heard this.
"Seeing that our water bags are empty, we should find water sources ourselves whenever we have the chance. Otherwise, we'll probably die of thirst by the time the water runs out. Second sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, you don't have to dig. But now that we've found a water source, please don't ask others to share it with you."
"You! When did I say I wouldn't dig anymore?" Wei Ersao was afraid that what she said was true. If they really dug up water, she would die of thirst and no one would care.
Lord Li was skeptical, but now they had no choice but to continue digging according to what Su Huaiyue said.
After digging for about half an hour, there was no sign of water.
Wei Ersao couldn't help but start complaining.
"I only eat one meal a day, which is never enough to begin with. And now you've tricked me into digging for half a day and there's nothing!"
"Are you kidding us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other officers looked at Su Huaiyue with a hint of hostility in their eyes.
"How long have we been digging? The desert is already extremely hot, and the water source must be deeper. We need to keep digging."
Lord Li thought what Su Huaiyue said made sense and ordered his men to continue digging.
After bending about half a meter, he found a small pond at the bottom, and Lord Li's eyes lit up.
"There is indeed water. Although it's not much, it's enough for us to fill our water bags. Everyone, come quickly!"
Everyone quickly gathered around.
At the same time, the mechanical sound of the system sounded again.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully leading everyone to the water source. Reward: 5 large Russian sausages. Already stored in the system space.]
Five large Russian sausages?
She had been here for almost a day, and had only eaten two steamed buns and a lizard that was just enough to fill her teeth. She had also walked so far in the scorching desert, and she really wanted to eat something.
Thinking of the five large Russian sausages, she couldn't help licking her lips. How did the system know that she liked this?
This is simply too good to be true! She was secretly excited.
Soon, everyone filled their water bags with water.
"Madam Wei, thanks to your reminder this time, we were able to successfully find a water source. If there is any other way to find water in the future, please be sure to let us know so that we can get out of the desert alive." Lord Li has been worried that their water and food will not be enough for everyone to get out of the desert alive, but now he sees hope.
Before Su Huaiyue could speak, Wei Ersao couldn't bear to see Su Huaiyue being too proud and couldn't help but sneer at him.
"It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse. What's the big deal?"
"Really? Then why don't you touch one? Is it because you don't want to touch one?" Su Huaiyue retorted, which also made Wei Ersao's face look ugly.
Wei Che sat in the corner, looking at Su Huaiyue quietly.
For some reason, he always felt that this woman had some unspeakable secret. Could it be that she had some other evil intentions?
After resting for a while, Lord Li took advantage of the fact that the sun was not too strong and asked everyone to continue on their journey.
Although there were more than 100 kilograms of food, Lord Li only distributed one meal this morning because the group still had a full six days of journey. Everyone ate steamed buns made last night and washed them down with some water.
It was not yet dark, but everyone was already growling with hunger and was on the verge of being unable to walk.
Only Su Huaiyue took out the grilled sausages stored in the space and ate them secretly while walking while no one was paying attention.
The fat of the sausage melted in his mouth, and Su Huaiyue felt a sense of satisfaction. The Russian sausage seemed to be even more fragrant.
She should strive to complete more missions. She hoped that the rewards from the system would include more modern food, such as Master Kong's large bowl of noodles, braised eggs, and crispy pork belly...
It makes me so happy just thinking about it.
"Everyone, hurry up and don't dawdle. We have to find the next place to stay quickly." Lord Li looked around with a frown.
Su Huaiyue kept his eyes and ears open all the way, for fear of missing any opportunity to get food.
There was a mound not far ahead, which immediately attracted Su Huaiyue's attention. Something seemed to flash on it.
What is that?
She didn't see it clearly, but she saw that the thing had big horns on its head, which looked very much like the bighorn sheep she had seen in the animal world before.
Isn’t this ready-made meat!
