Chapter 10 I want to drink water
The woman kept yelling and suddenly burst into tears, pouring out all the grievances in her heart.
She was crying so hard that she didn't notice that the child had stopped crying.
But Gu Feixue felt something was wrong, so she turned over and ran over.
When I got closer, I saw that it was true!
In the flickering firelight, the child's face had turned purple from holding his breath.
"Your child can't breathe!" Gu Feixue hurriedly pushed the woman back to her senses.
But the woman looked at her with tearful eyes, her eyes were weak and empty, as if she was in hell, and seemed to want to drag Gu Feixue into the abyss.
She seemed not to hear what Gu Feixue said, or pretended not to hear what Gu Feixue said.
Seeing the woman like that, Gu Feixue snatched the child from her hands.
He patted the child's back, put his hands around the child's chest, and lifted the child's chest, allowing the child to press out the turbid air in the lungs and restore the child's independent breathing.
After a series of operations by Gu Feixue, the child finally cried again. The woman was awakened by the crying and she immediately snatched the child back.
With a look of regret and shock, he shouted: "Niuniu, Niuniu, don't be afraid, mother is here!"
The people around watched everything that happened calmly, and at this moment everyone had the same thought - how great it would be if there was one less mouth to mouth!
Gu Feixue walked back dejectedly, feeling disturbed and uneasy by people's gazes along the way.
She was in a very low mood. In the years of famine, human lives were no longer human lives.
She had only known this from history books before, but now she was experiencing it firsthand.
Her heart felt indescribably painful and heavy.
Suddenly, there was a scream in my ears.
"Erwa, what are you doing?"
Gu Feixue quickly stood up and looked, only to see that the second child was so skinny that he had actually cut a big gash on his wrist with a stone!
Blood oozed out, but his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Water, water, I want to drink water!"
“You can’t drink it!”
Gu Feixue rushed over and picked up the stone that An Lu had dropped on the ground.
With a "swish", she cut a piece of An Lu's clothes, and then wrapped the rag around An Lu's wrist.
"You're losing your own energy. What's flowing out and drinking in is what's already in your body. You should find a water source outside instead of seeking death here."
Gu Feixue frowned and advised.
This person can have hallucinations and drink his own blood, which is not a good sign.
I'm afraid this group of people will riot soon, we must find a water source as soon as possible!
After Gu Feixue bandaged him, she gave him a warning look and hurried back to her own territory.
But she couldn't fall asleep, not only because she was frightened by the two people just now, but more because she was too hungry.
Palm trees are like sugarcane. No matter how much you eat, you won’t feel full, so you still need to eat some coarse grains.
But they were not the first group of refugees in these desolate mountains and wilderness, so even if there were good things, they would have been eaten up long ago.
What should I do...
As she thought about it, she couldn't sleep anymore, and her stomach ached from hunger...
Time passed bit by bit. Gu Feixue curled up into a ball, swallowing hard, hoping that the day would brighten soon...
A cold light of morning light finally fell on her face, and Gu Feixue opened her eyes in a daze.
She subconsciously looked at her elder brother Gu Tingchuan. She originally wanted to take her elder brother to find water.
But she couldn't bear it when she saw her brother's chapped lips and cracked cuts.
If her brother fainted on the way, her small body would not be able to drag him back.
So let her go by herself. Even if something unexpected happens along the way, she can deal with it flexibly.
And without her elder brother around, she can use her X-ray eyes to observe everything as she pleases.
Thinking of this, she sneaked away.
But the bloody reality told her that finding water was harder than climbing to the sky!
When Gu Feixue was extremely hungry, she had no choice but to take out the "dry food" palm tree powder.
Pour the coarse granular powder into your mouth, and your throat will feel suffocating and itchy!
This was simply not something a delicate seven-year-old could endure. She almost choked to death!
Moreover, the stinging feeling in her throat almost made her spit out all the powder.
But the shortage of food forced her to suppress that impulse.
After swallowing it with great difficulty, she took another big sip of the palm tree juice.
But after walking for so long, the juice in the bamboo tube that was originally brought out has become as sticky as thick porridge.
Even if she drank it all, it wouldn't quench her thirst. Instead, the thick sweetness would make her even more hungry.
She looked at the scorching heat ahead with heavy eyelids, gritted her teeth, and continued to look for water.
After another hour, she finally couldn't crawl anymore. She lay on the ground with her limbs exhausted, almost losing consciousness.
"No, you can't close your eyes... I'll use my X-ray vision to see again..."
Gu Feixue held back her tears, she calmed down and observed the geological strata below her and not far away.
In her eyes, all the layers of soil underground appeared in different colors.
There are red, brown, black...
These represent different information, but only when the yellow geological layer is found does it mean there is groundwater.
Suddenly, among the many black, brown and red geological layers, a small yellow geological layer appeared.
"It's...groundwater!"
Gu Feixue was trembling with excitement!
But at this moment, her outstretched hand fell to the ground instantly, and the back of her head was hit by a stone from nowhere.
She completely fainted...
Just as she fell, the tall figure of a young man appeared.
"You're almost starving to death, yet you're still searching for water. How could you be so stupid?"
After walking over and picking her up, I saw her pale face and chapped lips.
The young man frowned: "Is this something you should endure at your age?"
There was some blame in his words, but more of it was concern.
Just as the boy was about to carry her away, the weak hand suddenly grabbed the boy's clothes.
“Water…water…”
The boy took off the water bottle from his waist, but there was only a little water left in the bottle.
Even if all was given to Gu Feixue, it wouldn't be enough to drink.
Helpless, he could only carry Gu Feixue and rush to his camp.
…
When the young man returned to the camp carrying Gu Feixue, the guard Zhuifeng hurried to meet him.
"Your Highness, why did you come back so suddenly? Have you found that person? Who is this?"
The young man didn't have time to explain. He just put Gu Feixue on the bed and poured her a glass of water.
After doing all this, the boy said, "She is a refugee."
Zhuifeng looked at Gu Feixue carefully and found that the tattered silk she was wearing was not from an ordinary family, but rather seemed to be material given by the government.
Zhuifeng immediately said, "Your Highness, this is not an ordinary refugee. We cannot be discovered in our camp here. Let me send her away."
