Yang Lizheng and Su Yin hurried back.
"Everyone, get out of the way."
A huge rock separated from the stone wall and fell down with a loud bang. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stone wall in front.
Su Yin and Wang Lizheng stepped forward. The situation inside might affect the future path of everyone present.
The gentleman named Si and Li Zheng Wang went forward to check.
Four people stood in a row, staring inside. The cave was dark, but there was a faint glow of water.
"There is water."
This discovery made everyone present feel relieved.
The gentleman turned and ordered, "Keep chiseling."
A few people stepped back, and the three teams took turns knocking.
Master Wan San came close to Su Yin and asked, "Is there a lot of water in it?"
"I can't see clearly, but I'm sure there is a puddle of water inside. The depth and size are uncertain."
"Tsk tsk. If there isn't enough water in there for the three of you to share, it will be bad for you."
Master Wan San looked at the three groups of people and squinted his eyes at the sword on the waist of the gentleman scholar.
Su Yin turned her head and noticed that Master Wan San had been staring at the other person's sword. She lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know him?"
Master Wan San retracted his gaze and said, "I have seen it, but I am not sure."
"Tell me about it."
"Pay." Master Wan San stretched out his hand.
He is penniless now, and all his valuables were taken away by this black-hearted little girl.
Su Yin slapped his hand away and said, "Fat Master, we are one. We prosper together and suffer together."
Master Wan San raised his eyebrows and said, "Come on, you stingy bastard."
The two moved to the side and stood on the periphery.
"Tell me what your impression of that team is."
Su Yin glanced at him. "They are of similar age, strong and healthy, and they look like ordinary farmers. The long swords in their hands are of the same standard and sharp, completely different from the long swords in ordinary blacksmith shops, and of high quality. To be able to afford such long swords, and to have such uniform long swords, this group of people must be extraordinary."
The corners of Wan Sanye's lips curled up, and he looked at Su Yin with more appreciation in his eyes, "Little girl, you have a sharp eye. That's right, their identities are indeed not simple. The sword on the waist of the gentleman scholar has a mark that ordinary people can't recognize."
"I happened to have seen it and heard about it. That symbol belongs to the Nangong family. The Nangong family is famous for forging weapons and is a family with a history of hundreds of years."
"The Minister of War of the Great Yong Dynasty is the direct descendant of the Nangong family."
Su Yin was surprised. She knew that this group of people had some background, but she didn't expect them to be so powerful.
Nangong family!
Any family that can become a noble family is no ordinary one. Their confidence comes from the fact that they have survived dozens of generations and changes of dynasties and are still able to stand.
Except for the gentle young man in the lead, who had an extraordinary temperament, the others did not, and only looked more robust than ordinary farmers.
āIām not sure whether the others are members of the Nangong family. That scholar is very likely a member of the Nangong family.ā
"I don't know whether it is a direct line or a collateral line."
During the Yong Dynasty, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was clear and there was a strict system.
If the other party is a direct descendant of the Nangong family, then his importance is not low.
Even in ancient times of Greater China, emperors of many dynasties were firmly controlled by aristocratic families. The emperors did not dare to boss the aristocratic families around, and had to go to the aristocratic families to ask for marriage with their daughters in order to gain their support and maintain the operation of the country.
A century-old dynasty and a thousand-year-old family, this sentence is not just said for fun.
Master Wan San glanced at the elegant scholar and said, "Hey, if you can make friends with him, then make friends with him. Even if it means a little loss, don't make enemies with him. In their eyes, people like us are like ants."
"clear."
With Mr. Wan San's reminder, Su Yin had to adjust his previous plan.
She rubbed her eyebrows and felt a little headache.
She could only pray that there was enough water for the three parties to share. Otherwise, there would be a fierce battle.
Master Wan San patted her shoulder and said, "There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain."
While the two were talking, another stone fell from the stone wall over there.
"Walk."
As soon as Su Yin came back, he was surrounded by people and walked to the front. The entrance of the cave was wide open, allowing enough light to shine in. He could clearly see that there was a hollow area inside the stone wall, with stalactites on top and a pool of water at the bottom, about thirty inches in diameter. In the middle there was a small spring, with water constantly bubbling out.
The overflowing water from the small pool seeped into the tattered stone cave below, except for one place where it overflowed from a crack in the stone.
If there hadn't been water flowing out from this crevice in the rock, they would never have been able to find this hidden water source.
The world is so ingenious.
The gentleman glanced at her and said, "You guessed it right. There is a spring inside. It looks like the water flow is good."
Wang Lizheng came forward to take a look, then said to the two with a smile: "What a great joy. God bless us."
Wang Zetou asked, "Is it enough for us to share?"
"Enough, and some to spare."
Everyone in Xinghua Village couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
They are the most worried because once a conflict occurs, they will not have the advantage in numbers and will easily suffer losses.
"It's God's blessing."
Many people worshiped towards the sky.
The gentleman looked at Su Yin and the others and said, "Since you found this place first, you should get some water first."
"Thank you."
Yang Lizheng also bowed to the man to express his gratitude.
Wang Lizheng looked unhappy, but due to the strength of this group of people, he did not dare to say a word and accepted this ranking.
"Hurry up and get some water." Yang Lizheng called out.
Su Baozhu quickly used a wooden spoon to pour the spring water into the wooden barrel one spoonful at a time. Three buckets of water were used in total, plus the water bags they each brought with them, and the bamboo tubes they had used before.
In the next few counties, it was difficult to find water.
Since there is water here, I naturally want to bring as much as I can.
Su Baozhu and her mother have collected all the containers that can hold water.
After everyone in Xinghua Village got the water, they went down the mountain together.
As soon as they left, Wang Zetou wanted to step forward to take over, but his way was blocked by a knife.
The gentleman looked at Wang Lizheng with a smile and said, "I am in a hurry. Please wait for a moment, Wang Lizheng."
Wang Lizheng smiled and said, "Sure, sure. You go first."
The people in Qianshan Village dared to be angry but not to speak out.
Only after the gentleman and his gang had taken away the sailors did they dare to curse.
Wang Zetou spat in the direction they left.
"What?"
Wang Lizheng narrowed his eyes, coldly retracted his gaze, and shouted at the others: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and get some water. After getting the water, leave immediately."
The people from Xinghua Village came back happily and heard the noise from the camp from afar.
"What happened?"
Everyone hurried over.
When the old and young who stayed behind saw them coming back, Yang Lizheng's wife said anxiously, "My dear, this is bad. Da Zhuang and Da Zhuang's grandmother are missing."
Gone?!
Su Yin and Master Wan San looked at each other.
