Sanyuan and Siwang took a sip of water, and the cool water instantly sobered them up. They then slowed down and continued walking forward with Shuangshuang.
Sanyuan glanced back at his elder brother and saw him lagging far behind, but his steps were steady and powerful, so he didn't seem to be unwell. He thought of going to the front to put down the basket and then coming back to help him.
They soon arrived at the shady spot Ye Wenxue had mentioned.
