Chapter 15: I still have some natural rations, but I can’t just…
We still have some dry food, but we can't just sit there and eat it all.
The atmosphere among the refugees thus fell into depression.
Ximingren went to the guard team almost every day these days, and Ye Lu often saw the guard team running around in groups. It was a pity that they didn't gain much and returned empty-handed most of the time.
There were several times when the guard team said there was water, but there was only a thin layer of water. Sometimes Ye Lu also went to the guard team, but when he saw the shallow pond they found in the grove, he couldn't help frowning, because it was too shallow and the water was very turbid.
"No, it can't be used." Ye Lu shook his head. He looked at the shallow pond. There was water, but his intuition told him that the water was not drinkable and he should not even touch it.
Helan chose to believe Ye Lu's words without hesitation: "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's the same if we continue to look forward."
The playful man said nothing.
After returning, the ghost scholar listened to Ye Lu's words and was silent for a while, then said: "There is not much water left, it can only last for three days."
Ye Lu returned to the carriage. Because of saving water, the corners of his mouth were chapped. He leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. When he heard the ghost scholar's words, he opened his eyes and said, "Keep waiting."
“Maybe there is another way.
“Master Taoist, what is your talent…?” Upon hearing this, the ghost scholar raised his upper body and looked at Ye Lu. He knew the talent of his master Taoist. As the Son of Mount Tai, the earth veins favored them to a terrifying degree.
The ghost scholar continued to look over with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Lu didn't say anything.
The ghost scholar understood that the Taoist himself was not sure. Ye Lu had a habit. Generally speaking, he would not use a positive tone when talking about things he was not sure about.
If you ask him at this time, he won't answer.
Sure enough, in the next few days, Ye Lu either closed his eyes to rest or practiced. The green millet in the wooden box decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally one day, Ye Lu opened his eyes, stopped practicing, got out of the car, and went to the car led by the guard team.
The two guards next to the leading car looked at Ye Lu, who had not come out for a long time, with some surprise, but they had no intention of stopping him.
Ye Lu met Helan.
"I can go find some water." Ye Lujian said in shock.
"Huh?" Helan didn't understand what Ye Lu said at first. After a moment, she realized that Lu Wazi meant that he could find water.
Helan immediately realized that Ye Lu’s talent might have finally achieved certain results.
"How come you're practicing so fast?" Then, He Lan's reaction was this. She frowned while sitting in the carriage, looked at Ye Lu disapprovingly, and then asked: "Have you overdrawn your talent?"
The fleeing team was indeed short of water, and now the whole team knew about it. The magicians were frowning, and the village elders were groping everywhere, thinking about old methods and old experiences to see if they could find a water source. Helan had never thought of hiding it, but it was not like she couldn't survive, and she was not prepared to let Ye Lu overdraw his talent.
Just because Helan values Ye Lu's combat talent doesn't mean she doesn't value Ye Lu's auxiliary talent.
It’s just that now is not the time for Ye Lu to display his talent. Precisely because he values him so much, Helan has been suppressing Ye Lu, not wanting him to be in any danger.
Helan didn't want Ye Lu to overdraw his talent at all. In her opinion, if they could really escape from this deadly land one day, escape from the drought and settle down in a new place, the only person who could support the entire village would be Ye Lu.
Dingtian also has two brothers.
Ye Lu was a little surprised by Helan's serious expression. He felt Helan's true emotions when he asked the question. He was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Aunt Lan, you think too much. I won't joke about my own safety."
"It's just that I've been practicing more diligently recently, and my skills have made some progress."
Ye Lu had made some small achievements in his cultivation, his strange power gradually recovered, and his instincts as the Son of Taishan God also recovered a lot. Once his talent appeared, the earth would naturally convey a lot of information to Ye Lu. The earth veins also conveyed this information to Ye Lu at the beginning, but at that time, his strength had not recovered yet, so he could not hear the information conveyed to him by the earth veins.
Now as soon as he heard him, he came over without stopping.
The only problem is that the ground veins here are very strange, which made Ye Lu feel a little uncomfortable. Ye Lu frowned imperceptibly.
"That's fine. Is there any green millet left?" Helan sat down again and his tone became much gentler, as if he accepted Ye Lu's statement. After he finished speaking, Ye Lu paused again and asked.
"Not left." Ye Lu said with full confidence, he really didn't have much green millet left. When he really started practicing, Ye Lu realized how sincere Uncle He Qi's previous warning was. Green millet was indeed useful, but it was used up quickly.
"Okay, I'll talk to the village elders then." Helan nodded and said thoughtfully: "I did forget that super talents require a lot of strange food to cultivate, and the village should also help. In addition to the necessary strange food, the village will subsidize you as much as possible for the rest."
Helan looked at Ye Lu's expression and realized that this was really certain.
The cheerful and powerful captain of the guard looked serious and said slowly: "In that case, then show us the way. Let us see."
Ye Lu had no objection.
Of course, Ye Lu took a rest aside first. Helan sent one of the guards to call the magician and the village elders in the other ox cart over. In fact, they were only Uncle He San and Qian Bacun, and at most He Si who was driving the car.
The three of them had already heard about it when they came here. Uncle He San slowly leaned on his crutches, thought for a moment, and said: "Lu Wazi wants to try it, then let's try it."
The one coming from the other side was the Stone Master. It was Master He's turn to guard the Bronze Mirror Lady and Qing Mizi today, so he couldn't come over. The Stone Master didn't say anything and remained silent.
"Move forward!" Before anyone could ask, Ye Lu had already sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes, and after a moment, he slowly spoke.
He Si, who was driving, didn't say a word from the beginning. He was an uncle that Ye Lu was not very familiar with. The only impression he had of him was that he was always mature and steady and didn't like to talk. When Ye Lu spoke, he pondered for a moment, then listened to Ye Lu's words and continued to move forward.
The ox cart moved slowly forward.
Behind the fleeing team, the guards had already learned the news early on. The guards behind the ox carts in the lead immediately shouted loudly for everyone to catch up. The black dogs on the ground all stood up and kept up with the pace of the fleeing team.
"Go on, go towards the mountain in front, don't get close to that mountain." Ye Lu didn't know what was happening outside. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in his skillful connection instinct. He was too familiar with the talent of the Son of Mount Tai. For so long, he could connect to every move of the earth veins.
"Go around it, the inside of the mountain is very messy and dry, there is no water."
Upon hearing this, everyone opened the curtain and subconsciously looked forward.
Sure enough, in the distance visible to the naked eye, there was a faint shadow of a mountain, and the mountain was half yellow and half green. If it were in the past, they would definitely go up the mountain, and even if they didn't go up the mountain, they would ask the guard team to go and take a look.
Now that Ye Lu said this, the stone magician felt that the mountain was becoming more and more strange. The half-yellow and half-green color did not look like grass or anything like that.
It was like a bait.
Especially when their group of refugees is extremely short of water.
"Don't stop, we're still a long way to go." Ye Lu was still speaking slowly, and he simply closed his eyes again.
Because Ye Lu's words just now did remind everyone, He Si, who had always believed in it, simply did not stop. Along the way, Ye Lu kept reminding them to dodge and go around. Sometimes, even when there was a large open space in front, Ye Lu frowned and said they could not pass.
The fleeing team made a big circle and passed several open spaces in succession. Only then did their hurried pace slow down.
"..." Ye Lu moved slightly, and this time he finally opened his eyes, just in time to meet everyone's surprised gazes. Ye Lu blinked, used to it. He often received such gazes when he was on Starnet in his previous life.
Ye Lu had no intention of stopping.
He tilted his head again, as if listening to something. After a moment, he looked up and said to He Si outside the carriage: "Uncle Si, don't go up this hill directly. Go around it. There is a small hill behind this mountain. There is a large forest on the hill. The village in the forest is where we should go."
"There is water in the village!" Ye Lu said the last sentence with a very affirmative tone.
When He Si heard what he said, he chose to do it without hesitation.
Sure enough, the fleeing team went around another mountain in front of them and really saw a hill. Compared with the previous mountain, this hill could even be said to be smaller. The forest on the hill looked a little gray and did not look very comfortable.
As soon as the fleeing team stopped, Ye Lu got off the ox cart, jumped to the ground, walked a few steps to the woods, leaned over, half-knelt, put one hand on the ground, closed his eyes and felt quietly.
"Yes, it is here."
The fleeing team had stopped, and everyone followed Ye Lu. When they heard his words, they all looked towards the place he mentioned.
The forest was deep and dark, and even in such hot weather there was not much light.
A corner of a dilapidated roof appeared deep in the woods.
Ye Lu stood up and smiled gently. Several people with higher cultivation levels subconsciously looked at him.
A slender young man in a green Taoist robe stood quietly on the land, with a forest behind him. His aura was natural and at first glance it blended in with the surrounding atmosphere.
No, if you look closely, there is a hint of mystery in Lu Wazi's aura.
