Chapter 52: Water is King



The sky was getting brighter, and the morning light of the sun shone on the people of Taohua Village.

The village chief led everyone and headed south to find soil to take root.

When passing by Sifang County, I saw people selling grain outside the city.

Although the price is very expensive, there are still many people queuing up.

While selling food, we also sell water.

The villagers had already prepared the food and water they needed, so the people of Taohua Village did not go to buy them.

After passing Sifang County, we continued heading south.

Su Nanxing's carriage was gone, so he was invited to go to Gu Jingmo's carriage.

Originally he wanted to take Xiao Zhuzi with him, but Jinbao had just arrived and Xiao Zhuzi was very sticky.

He insisted on going with Yinbao and said that he could definitely hold on for a day!

There was no choice but to let Xiao Zhuzi follow first.

Whenever you feel tired, you can get on the carriage and rest.

Su Nanxing did not rest in the carriage, but practiced internal strength with Gu Jingmo.

During the lunch break, the two would also practice sparring.

As Su Nanxing's martial arts skills improved rapidly, the team's overall strength was also slowly increasing.

Now every person in the team is a soldier!

Especially the ten people taught individually by Lieutenant General Li, they were all trained according to the highest requirements of the military camp.

If ten people go out now, we can't say that one can fight ten, but at least we can fight one against five.

After Yinbao and Yang An returned to the team, they all followed the training.

Combined with their existing experience, they made rapid progress.

Among the groups fleeing famine, the Taohua Village team is already a very difficult one to deal with.

That night, after the team chose a resting place, Su Nanxing and Gu Jingmo went out to find water as usual.

The other people in the village also did their own jobs and became busy.

The more you travel in Vietnam, the greener it feels.

When we arrived at this mountain, everyone felt that there might be water.

Su Nanxing and Gu Jingmo searched for water sources everywhere according to the assigned directions.

The vegetation here is more lush, and even if you can't find water, you can still find a lot of wild vegetables.

The further south you go, the more wild vegetables you can find.

Suddenly, Gu Jingmo carried Su Nanxing and climbed up the tree.

Su Nanxing looked down and saw two people not far away, walking towards them.

The two men were holding machetes in their hands. I don't know what they were talking about, and they laughed from time to time.

Soon, the two approached.

Su Nanxing also heard their conversation clearly and made inferences from their words.

These two people were actually out on patrol. There was a pond nearby, but it was guarded by someone.

They occupy the water position and although they sell water to the public, the price is very high.

They were out on patrol, firstly to look for people who were buying water.

It was also used to capture lone people and take them back to serve as slaves.

After the two walked away, Su Nanxing and Gu Jingmo hurried back to the camp and informed everyone of what had happened.

When the other people who went to find water came back, several of them also encountered patrolmen.

But no one was discovered, and instead, everyone had heard almost everything about each other.

These patrolmen have nothing to do, so they like to chat.

I heard from them that the pool of water they occupied was very, very large.

Their leader seemed to be called Qiu Wanli, a man who traveled all over the country and was very good at finding water sources.

That's why he was the first to find the pond and then led people to surround it.

Relying on the pond, Qiu Wanli not only made a lot of money, but also had a lot of slaves.

Of course, the biggest reason why Qiu Wanli can control his subordinates is that he is very good at martial arts.

They don't do anything to passers-by.

But if you want to buy water from them, you will have to pay a lot of money.

Sometimes, if Qiu Wanli takes a fancy to someone who wants to buy water, he will not sell it to them no matter how much they offer, and will only use people to exchange for water.

Everyone gathered together, summarized the information, and discussed whether to buy water.

Although the team still has water at the moment, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Therefore, when water can be replenished, it must be replenished.

But I don’t know the details of this Qiu Wanli. What if he fails to buy the water and provokes the other party?

That really is not worth it.

Finally, it was decided to send someone to secretly inquire about the price.

If possible, it would be best to find out how many people are under Qiu Wanli.

And what is the strength of Qiu Wanli?

The people who were finally chosen to investigate were Zhao Shou and Li Pang.

Zhao Shouzi is very smart and has a very flexible mind.

Although he is not good at martial arts, Li Pang is very good at martial arts, but he is not very smart.

The two complement each other, and they also have some of the temperament of gangsters, which makes them suitable for infiltrating the enemy camp.

After deciding on the candidate, the two set off quickly.

The campsite in Taohua Village is not far from the pond. If everything goes well, we can be back tomorrow.

After watching the two leave, Su Nanxing glanced at Gu Jingmo.

Gu Jingmo nodded, indicating that the secret guards had quietly followed and ensured the safety of the two.

With the secret guards following them, Su Nanxing at least didn't have to worry about the lives of the two.

However, the other people in the village did not know about this and were very worried.

Especially the village chief and several elders, they were the ones who decided on the candidates who would go.

They certainly hope that everything goes well and that Zhao Shouzi and Li Pangzi are safe and sound.

The villagers were destined to spend this night in worry.

Without her own carriage, Su Nanxing slept in Gu Jingmo's carriage at night.
