Shang Ruoyi and the others had already walked for several miles. The further they went, the higher the temperature became. The ground where crops were supposed to be grown had already cracked.
The original road water supply inn had long been deserted.
The drinking water in the officers' water bags was almost used up, and everyone stared at the water bag in He's hand.
Shang Ruoyi saw all this and became defensive.
It was really time to move around, so they stayed in an empty inn.
The officials came to the backyard of the posthouse, looked at the dried-up well, and sighed, "I didn't expect the drought to be so severe."
“We don’t know how many refugees there will be.” The officers came to the second floor and looked around, seeing only dry land and no smoke.
"Boss, the sun is so strong and the temperature is so high. If we don't have water, we will not survive for a long time."
Zhang Hu looked at the prisoners who were already seriously short of water and said in a deep voice: "We must find drinking water, otherwise we will die here from dehydration before we even get out of this dry land."
"It looks like there's a water source here!"
At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
A dark shadow was tossing around in the He family's house.
"Where is it? I saw it last night, why is it gone now?"
Suddenly, his wrist was grasped by a strong hand, and He Jingheng's deep voice came: "You've come this far to steal from me?"
The black shadow wanted to run, but he grabbed his wrist tightly: "Jinghe, you are so shameless."
The one who came to steal the water was someone else, none other than He Jinghe from the second house.
"Brother, I'm really thirsty." He whispered, "Can you give me a bite? One bite."
"This water has always been with your sister-in-law."
In other words, he has the final say on the water.
When He Jinghe heard this, he was surprised and said, "Brother, how can you put such a heavy thing in a woman's hand?"
"Where's Wang Ran? Did you leave it with me?" He Jingheng sneered, "Go back to sleep."
He Jinghe walked back willingly. Qiao Yanxin saw it and snorted coldly, thinking it was useless.
At daybreak, He Ning'an came to the old princess.
The old princess finally resisted his soft and hard persuasion, and said to Shang Ruoyi: "Ruoyi, please give the second room a water bag!"
A water bag?
Shang Ruoyi sneered. If there was a spiritual spring in her space, the water in those water bags would have been empty long ago.
"We don't have that much water." She took out the water bag from the package and shook it in front of the He family: "There is only half a bag of water in total, are you going to give it all to them?"
What? Is this all that's left?
When the old princess saw it, she quickly changed her words: "One bite each!"
He Ning'an didn't refuse when he saw this. He said, "Okay, at least hold on for a while. What if there's water if we walk a little further?"
At this moment, several men rushed towards her, or to be more precise, towards the water bag in her hand.
Shang Ruoyi kicked out, and one of the men flew backwards. The other two men were blocked by Li Yuan before they could get close.
"Water! Give me water!" The man looked at the water bag in Shang Ruoyi's hand and shouted, "Please, give me a sip!"
Shang Ruoyi frowned, although she wanted to take the things out, she really didn't know how to use them. If others knew the secret of her space, they would definitely burn her to death as a monster.
The officer heard the noise and came over: "What's going on?"
The man lying on the ground crawled to the officer's feet, pulled his trouser legs, and begged, "Boss, give me some water!"
The officer kicked him away and said coldly, "You still want to drink water from me? You wish!"
At this moment, she suddenly saw a few big trees in the distance, her eyes lit up, and she said to the official: "Master, I know where to find water!"
Zhang Hu heard it and hurried forward: "Where?"
A few days later, they came to the big trees, and saw that the trees were very tall, with oval trunks and very strong. What's very strange is that all the other trees have dried up, but its leaves are still green.
"What are you doing here?"
Shang Ruoyi pointed at the tree and said with a smile: "The water source is here."
here?
This tree?
An official said coldly: "We have no water or food now, so we don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "You know something. This tree is called a spindle tree. The reason why its trunk is so thick is because there is a lot of water hidden in it."
In her previous life, when she was on a mission in an extremely arid area, she saw this kind of tree planted there. Only then did she realize that the tree could store water.
What?
Is water hidden in this tree trunk?
How is this?
Shang Ruoyi looked at He Jingheng and said softly, "Can you make a hole in this tree trunk?"
He Jingheng nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out the gun from Zhang Hu's waist. Before the officers beside him could react, he had already opened the tree hole and put the gun back into its sheath.
Zhang Hu's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew very well the skills of Prince Ding, but he had never experienced it personally. During this exile, including this time, He Jingheng had only made a move twice, once now, and the other time when he encountered the wolf pack.
After seeing him take action these two times, he knew very well that He Jingheng was definitely the most skilled martial artist he had ever seen in his lifetime.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water caught his attention. It was... water!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this. There was really water in the tree trunk!
A few people quickly took out their water bags and filled them up.
When they returned to the posthouse, Zhang Hu gave each of the prisoners a bowl of water, and everyone felt alive again.
He Jingheng looked at her, smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much."
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "This is nothing. My mother showed me a book a few years ago. It talked about a lot of strange things. I thought they were all made up by the author, but I didn't expect them to be true. Fortunately, I wrote them down at the time."
Shang Ruoyi praised the statement she had just made in her heart. This way, if she did something unusual in the future, she could say that she saw it in the book. If He Jingheng asked about the book, she would say that she found it after the house was searched.
Seeing that her expression did not change, He Jingheng smiled and said, "Although mother-in-law did not teach you the art of housekeeping, she taught you how to survive."
How old is mother-in-law?
Shang Ruoyi blushed slightly and turned away.
They didn't realize that their every move was being watched by the two men.
"I didn't expect that the prince of Ding would actually be fascinated by a woman."
"Your Highness was originally worried that He Jingheng was not easy to deal with, but now it seems that he is just a waste who is obsessed with beauty."
"But I think there's something wrong with the concubine daughter of Lord Shang."
