Chapter 1919. Gu Lehua
Along the way, they also met many teams looking for water. Seeing that everyone had empty hands, they felt very disappointed.
The team leader Gu Mingchun asked many people and finally chose a path where no one walked, hoping that there would be a way out here.
Looking at the dead grass all over the mountain, no one actually held out much hope. It hadn't rained for several months and water resources were becoming increasingly scarce.
Even if they were found, they would soon be controlled by some forces, and refugees like them could only watch and sigh.
"How can there be a water source in this place? Look at the cracks on the ground. It seems like God is leaving us no way to survive." There are always people who will predict the bad news in advance. Halfway through their walk, Liang Xiaojun simply collapsed on the ground.
Gu Mingchun didn't even turn his head. This guy wasn't causing trouble for the first time. "Everyone, move faster. If we can't find water today, many people in our team will not be able to survive tomorrow. Even if not for ourselves, we should think about the elderly and children at home."
Some people who were originally led astray by Liang Xiaojun soon became determined again. This was not only about their own survival, but they also had a whole family behind them.
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Mingchun in front of him. He understood why the headman always asked him to take the lead. With just a few words, he could achieve his goal.
As for Liang Xiaojun on the ground, everyone carefully avoided him. It was up to him to decide whether to leave or not. But if a water source was found, it would not matter much to him.
Gu Wenheng saw so many people walking in a straight line. Not only was this a waste of everyone's energy, but the chance of finding water was also very small.
Finally, I couldn't help but said, "Brother Mingchun, should we split up and look for him?"
Gu Mingchun looked back at him and asked, "If we find water, how do we notify others?"
If you run back and forth, the water source you just found might be stolen by others.
Gu Wenheng pursed his lips and said, "Why don't we spread out a bit, so that we can cover a larger area."
Qianqian's space is also equipped with drones, but these are mostly just empty talk.
Gu Mingchun did not object this time and expanded the search area several times.

Jin Qianqian leaned quietly against the tree, feeling conflicted. She had stored so many barrels of water in her space, but she could only watch everyone suffer from hunger and thirst. That feeling made her feel very distressed.
Even Gu Leshun, who had always been cared for by his fifth brother and sister-in-law, looked listless, with his lips turning white and cracked.
Jin Qianqian really couldn't bear it and waved towards Gu Leshun.
Gu Leshun, who had been dejected, immediately perked up and ran over staggeringly.
"Sit with Aunt Qi." Jin Qianqian patted the empty space next to her, and when he sat down, she secretly stuffed a few slices of cheese into his hands.
"Aunt Qi, can I leave this to my mother?" Gu Leshun licked his lips and asked cautiously.
Jin Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'll leave it to you to arrange what my aunt gave you. But I don't have much of this thing anymore. If other people know about it, I won't be able to take it out."
"Well, I only told my mother." Gu Leshun nodded sensibly, "I didn't even tell my father."
Jin Qianqian touched his head, opened her bamboo tube and handed it to him, "Aunt, there is still some water here, take a few sips."
This time, Gu Leshun didn't dare to reach out to take it, "Aunt, I'm not thirsty. You need to hurry on your way, you need it more than us."
Hearing the child's sensible words, Jin Qianqian's eyes turned red. This damn dynasty, this damn weather, really leaves no way for these ordinary people to survive.
"It's okay. Your seventh uncle and the others will come back with water soon. We have to drink up the water in this bamboo tube so that we can get more water later."
Unexpectedly, the little guy was still very principled and refused to touch the bamboo tube that Jin Qianqian handed to him.
"Aunt Qi, I'm thirsty. Can you give me a drink?" As the only girl in the Gu family, Gu Lehua bit her fingers and stared at the bamboo tube in her hand.
Jin Qianqian didn't react at once. This child never comes near her. What is going on now?
"Why can't you give it to me?" Gu Lehua was full of impatience, "Hurry up, I'm thirsty."
This attitude? Jin Qianqian put the stopper back into the bamboo tube and held it in her arms. "If you are thirsty, go find your parents. Your Seventh Aunt doesn't have much water, so she can't help you."
"You're lying, so why did you give it to him? I saw it all."
Jin Qianqian's stubborn temper also came up. Along the way, Gu Lehua had always ignored the couple, and sometimes even showed disdain in her eyes.
"Well, I'm thirsty too. Give me some water from your house." I didn't want to argue with the child, but listen to her tone.
"We're almost out of water at home. Weren't you very generous just now? You're not going to drink it anyway, so what's wrong with giving us the water?"
"It's not that bad. Go ask others if they will give you the water they save." Jin Qianqian shook her head and shouted to Liu Liu who was watching the fun over there, "Fourth sister-in-law, your daughter is asking for water everywhere and you don't do anything about it."
"How much can a little kid like her drink from you? As an elder, can't you love and care for your niece?"
Jin Qianqian snorted, "Fourth sister-in-law, if every elder has to care for the younger generation, then that would leave no way out for the elders. Don't let your evil ways corrupt the children."
Wearing a tall hat? Come on, let's see who has the better skills.
Liu Liu immediately felt some disapproving looks and her heart was suddenly filled with anxiety. Jin was truly vicious. She was trying to ruin her daughter's reputation.
She gritted her teeth and laughed, "Look at what you said, this kid just wants to kiss you, how can he have so many bad intentions? If you are reluctant to give me some water, then forget it. Is it necessary to be so weird?"
Jin Qianqian, "Alas, Fourth Sister-in-law, you also know that it has been very difficult for everyone along the way. If it weren't for the fight for their lives, no one would have left their hometown.
Our entire team hasn't found any water for two days. This bamboo tube contains the chance for my husband and I to survive. It's not a question of whether we are willing to give it up or not.
Besides, our little flower still looks so fresh and healthy. It should not be so dehydrated that it needs help from me, its aunt.
Judging from the tone of Fourth Sister-in-law just now, there should be no shortage of water. Can you be more generous and support us a little? "
"Why should we give you our water?" Before Liu Liu could even open her mouth, Gu Lehua stood there with her hands on her hips and pushed Jin Qianqian, "Who else needs your help? But seeing you being so generous and giving water to this bastard, I'm also your junior, so what's wrong with drinking a few sips?"
Liu Liu knew this was going to be bad. "Hua, what did you say? You must be thirsty and you're talking nonsense."
