Chapter 65 Chapter 66. Meet Again
It seemed as if the goddess had really descended upon Jin Qianqian. As the day went on, many vintage figures recorded in books lined up, waiting for her to discover them.
Gu Wenheng looked at Shouwu who was taken away again, and stared at the sky speechlessly. This was really different treatment. They were obviously the same, walking on the same road, and he had been observing carefully, but he still bumped into Jin Qianqian's hands.
"You choose the direction this time," Gu Wenheng had already faced the reality and simply handed over the direction of choosing the route to Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian, "Are you sure you don't want to use the telescope to take a look? If I point it in the wrong direction, we'll have to take a lot of detours."
Although Gu Wenheng hesitated for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "No, at worst we can just go back the way we came.
Maybe the path you choose can reduce many bumps and avoid many dangers. "
Jin Qianqian also wanted to try her luck, so she casually pointed to another tree next to Gu Wenheng and said, "Then let's go this way. If we find that the deviation is too great, we can correct it then."

"I told you, you are really a goddess of luck," Gu Wenheng couldn't suppress his excited smile, "It hasn't been long since we found this oasis."
Looking at the small lake in front of him and the lush vegetation beside it, Gu Wenheng picked up Jin Qianqian again and turned around a few times.
Jin Qianqian didn't care about all this at this time. She was also full of excitement, "Finally I can see the water. The air feels fresher."
Although they were able to use water freely in the Zhu family before, they still had to fetch water from the well in the village, so they did not dare to be too presumptuous.
"Let's quickly check out the area around here, and make sure we don't intrude into other animals' territories." Gu Wenheng felt that something was amiss as the surroundings were so quiet.
Jin Qianqian was about to speak when she was suddenly attracted by the small wooden house on the opposite cliff. "Look over there, there should be people living there."
Gu Wenheng looked at the rocks that were four or five meters high and said, "…" Building the wooden house so high, aren't you afraid of strong winds?
But now is not the time to think about these things. Jin Qianqian has already trotted towards the wooden house. Fearing that something might happen, Gu Wenheng quickly took out the pistol he always carried with him and chased after her.
"Hey, is there anyone upstairs?" Jin Qianqian shouted at the top of her voice.
Accompanied by echoes, a tall figure appeared in front of the cabin.
Gu Wenheng quickly protected Jin Qianqian behind him and squinted his eyes at the familiar figure. "Who are you?"
"It's only been one night since we last met? Have you two forgotten me?" Guo Yurong didn't expect that the two of them had such a fate. She just didn't know how these two people got to this place in such a vast forest?
"Are you Brother Guo?" Gu Wenheng was a little unsure when he heard the familiar voice.
The other person just jumped lightly and floated in front of them.
The figure with fluttering clothes and moving in the wind made Jin Qianqian's eyes sparkle. "So cool, so cool."
Gu Wenheng looked back at her, then moved half a step to the side, completely blocking Jin Qianqian's line of sight.
"That's me," Guo Yurong seemed unaware of Gu Wenheng's small action and walked alone by the lake.
"Is this Brother Guo's territory?" I had seen this green area through the telescope before, but I had not noticed the inconspicuous wooden house.
"Not really," Guo Yurong pointed at the cabin, "I just saw that it's convenient to get water here, so I just stayed here. It's a pity that I don't have Brother Gu's convenient portable cabin, so I can only build a simple thatched hut."
Gu Wenheng, "Brother Guo, are you a martial artist?"
"It's slightly involved," Guo Yurong also knew that the only skill she had was her light-body skills, so she naturally didn't dare to be too confident.
"Is this light skill easy to practice?" Jin Qianqian poked her head out and asked curiously.
Guo Yurong took a while to react and looked at them with a smile, "I don't think it's possible with your current aptitude. Even if you work harder, you won't be able to achieve the same success as me."
"Like what people say, should we start practicing from a young age?"
Guo Yurong nodded, "Not only from childhood, but also depends on whether you have talent? Is your body suitable?"
The most important point, which Guo Yurong did not mention, is that this kind of martial arts is generally not passed on to outsiders.
Gu Wenheng once again blocked Jin Qianqian's admiring eyes and said, "Excuse me, my wife is very curious. This is her first time seeing someone use Qinggong, so it's inevitable that she has a lot of questions. Please forgive me."
"This is normal," Guo Yurong laughed, "You forgot that I had almost the same number of questions yesterday, and you all answered me patiently. How can I care about these things?
By the way, being able to meet again shows that we are really destined to meet. May I ask where are you two going?"
Gu Wenheng pointed to the peak they had climbed before and said, "We want to go around here. Our family is waiting there."
"Family?" Guo Yurong was a little confused. "From here, you will reach the city gate. You don't have to go so far."
Gu Wenheng did not hide anything and told the story of how the refugees were blocked outside the city gates. He was full of helplessness, "At that time, we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the city to find a way to survive for our family, but unfortunately the city is not a place to stay for a long time, so we can only think of other ways.
Fortunately, this area is not so dry, so we are thinking about whether we can cross these mountains and find a place for our family and our tribe to stay.”
"Is it so dry outside now?" Ever since Guo Yurong discovered this place, she has been living in complete seclusion from the world and has no idea of any news from the outside world.
"Yes, from here to the north, there has been no rain for several years in several provinces. The ground is dry and cracked everywhere. Many people are fleeing to Shangjing in groups, just to make a living."
Although Gu Wenheng downplayed it, how could Guo Yurong, who was well-versed in history, not understand the hardships along the way?
"The government didn't care?"
"How can we manage it? The drought is the same along the way. They are doing their best by staying there." Gu Wenheng did not think that the local government was omnipotent and could produce so much water out of thin air to save the people.
"What about your journey? No one from above gave us an explanation."
Gu Wenheng stared at the calm water and said, "Explanation? I suspect that the city is hiding the news. They have isolated all the refugees outside the city walls and have not even offered any help. They want to force everyone to fend for themselves and also force us refugees to turn back."
"But didn't you go into the city?"
Gu Wenheng laughed sarcastically, "Do you know how we got into the city? It was just a trick played by these dignitaries, but we accidentally missed it."
