Su Huaiyue crossed her arms and said with a fake smile, "We're quite familiar with each other, Third Brother. I'll bring you out to carry out the mission. Maybe you can even get a reward."
Wang Laosan turned his head away and snorted coldly, no longer looking at her.
Due to Lord Li's authority, he could only sulk there.
I really can't understand why Lord Li agreed to let this woman take him to carry out the mission?
If he had known earlier, he would not have done such a stupid thing as pouring over other people's kettles. Now he has shot himself in the foot.
The more Wang Laosan thought about it, the angrier he became, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
Once people know that he was the one who did that, he will never be able to stay in front of Lord Li again.
Su Huaiyue went back to pack her things.
Wei Yunrou and Madam Wei came over and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, how is it? Do I still have to go?"
Su Huaiyue nodded helplessly. Since she couldn't refuse, she could only agree.
"Grandma, Yunrou, don't worry. This time it's not like last time. Whether we can find the water or not is all up to fate. I'll be back soon."
Madam Wei nodded, turned around and took out half a large pancake from her bag for Su Huaiyue to take with her so that she wouldn’t feel tired on the journey.
She wanted to refuse, but after thinking it over, she accepted it.
Soon, Su Huaiyue set off with the three of them.
Since she was asked to find it, she would look for it.
Su Huaiyue took out a compass from her arms, turned it around, and quickly locked on a direction. She then walked forward confidently.
The three of them could only follow behind him at this moment.
Wang Laosan grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What's going on? The route you walk is completely determined by the little box in your hand. Are you playing tricks on me?"
Su Huaiyue continued to look down at the compass in her hand. Naturally, she heard Wang Laosan's words clearly.
But she just smiled faintly and ignored him.
Su Huaiyue walked at the front of the team with light steps, sometimes brisk and sometimes steady.
His eyes were like a sensitive falcon, examining the road ahead.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, with a sly smile on her face, as if everything was under control.
After trekking for a while, they came to a dry riverbed. It was so quiet and desolate, as if time had stopped there.
The once surging river is now nothing but cracked soil, longing for rain.
The cracks in the mud, wide enough to fit a foot, are like the wrinkles on the face of an old man who has experienced many years of weathering the wind and frost.
It tells the story of the ruthless erosion of the long years.
Two large rocks on the riverbed caught Su Huaiyue's attention.
For no other reason than that the stone is big enough and has a smooth surface.
She turned and glanced at the three people behind her.
The two tall and mighty officers walked with steady steps and balanced breathing.
We have been walking for half a day, it's time to take a break.
"Rest where you are!"
Su Huaiyue sat down on a stone block beside her and drank a sip of water.
From time to time, his eyes glanced at Wang Laosan, who was stirring up trouble and stirring up trouble.
After a while, she put down the water bag in her hand.
"Wang Laosan, come here for a moment."
Su Huaiyue's voice was particularly clear in the silent environment.
She raised her hand and pointed at two huge stones on the riverbed, a calculating look flashing in her eyes.
When Wang Laosan heard the call, he walked over slowly and reluctantly.
"what!"
He looked in the direction of Su Huaiyue's finger.
I saw that the two big rocks were slightly reflective under the sunlight.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes, not knowing what Su Huaiyue was planning.
"Take them with you. These two big rocks will be very useful."
Wang Laosan scratched his ears in disbelief. He stared at her with wide eyes, stunned where he was.
"Are you kidding me? Why am I the only one who can carry such a big stone?" He raised his hand and pointed at himself, frowning, with a hint of unwillingness and confusion in his eyes.
Su Huaiyue's smile became more and more obvious, with an irresistible sense of oppression: "Just take it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Wang Laosan directly asked: "Why should I carry it? It's so heavy, I can't lift it."
"This is the order of Lord Li. Do you want to disobey?" Her light words directly caught Wang Laosan's attention.
"Why me? What about the others?"
There was a hint of suppressed anger in his voice, but he didn't dare look directly at Shu Huai.
Wang Laosan gritted his teeth, his face full of helplessness and resentment. He wanted to resist, but reason told him that this was not the time to act impulsively.
Su Huaiyue shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about his struggle. His voice was light, but revealed an unquestionable attitude.
"So what? I do."
Wang Laosan had no choice but to take a deep breath and lean forward with gritted teeth.
He grasped the edge of the stone tightly with both hands, the rough touch passed through his palms. He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and barely picked up the stone.
Soon, the sweat on his back gradually soaked his clothes, and every muscle was trembling from excessive exertion.
Although the other two officers looked at him with some sympathy, they also knew that Wang Laosan was not a good person.
They looked at each other and chose to remain silent.
Su Huaiyue slowly stood up and started on his way again.
She had already walked three of the routes she had planned to find water, and all she encountered were either dried-up springs or cracked soil.
There was not even a drop of water to be seen.
Su Huaiyue took the compass and carefully identified the direction.
Soon, they all couldn't bear the long journey.
The breathing sounds became heavier and heavier.
The two officers couldn't help but whisper, "Xiao Li, do you think we can find water this time?"
The officer named Xiao Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a grin, "Who knows? This kind of thing depends entirely on luck."
Wang Laosan had no time to interrupt. Just holding the big rock had exhausted all his strength.
Now my legs tremble like they are being electrocuted with every step I take.
As the route was getting farther and farther away from the team, Su Huaiyue could only stare at the compass after every few steps to avoid getting lost.
She secretly observed Wang Laosan's condition from time to time, and felt a sense of pride in her heart.
This is what is called "evil will be punished by evil."
Time passed by minute by minute, and Su Huaiyue stopped and supported his forehead.
Sweat dripped down her cheeks. The long hike made her feel exhausted, not to mention the endless complaints from Wang Laosan.
She lowered her head to check the compass again, confirmed the direction, and continued to lead the team forward.
At this time, Wang Laosan, who was holding a big stone behind him, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He threw the stone heavily to the ground, panting and roaring with dissatisfaction on his face.
"Su Huaiyue, you won't find any water if you keep going down like this. Are you going to keep going down with that broken box?"
