The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
They walked all day the next day and failed to find a water source. Fortunately, everyone had some foresight and did not waste water along the way.
In addition to the water used for cooking, the water used for washing dishes is also reserved for washing dishes and pots after meals.
It only lasted one more day. By the third day, all the water containers were dry.
There was water in Chou Chou's space, but Qingyan couldn't take it out.
It doesn't matter that her and Chou Chou's martial arts are higher, it's completely justified, because in ancient times, some traveling merchants were good at fisting, otherwise they wouldn't dare to travel around.
But if he had the ability to make something out of nothing, it would be unreasonable.
If it's good, he'll be worshiped as a god, if not, he'll probably be burned to death as a monster.
Although through this period of getting along, she knew that these people would most likely be the former, but it was hard to say that this kind of thing would be in danger if it leaked out.
And she won't be able to stay here for long. She can't take the lead in everything and let them develop a dependence mentality. They have to work hard to survive on their own.
So even though her lips were peeling from thirst, Qingyan didn't sneak out any water to drink.
She relied on her hearing and eyesight, as well as Chou Chou's advantage of being able to climb a tree and see far away, to find the water source hard.
Even if they are not on the road, in the mountains, as long as they can see it, they can run to get some water and bring it back before continuing on.
When we got here, we were already deep in the mountains. Although there were still roads, there were no villages around. It could be said that there was no one around except them.
And if this road wasn't smoother and wider than other places, with no trees in the middle, it would be almost unrecognizable as a road.
Because no one had been around for a while, the ground was covered with weeds. In some places, they used shovels to shovel the thicker roots of weeds while moving forward.
If you push forward forcefully, the donkey cart will easily get entangled in it.
On the afternoon of the third day, we still couldn't find any water. We were all very thirsty and felt that continuing like this was not an option, so we decided not to go forward yet, but split up and entered the mountain from both sides to see if we could find a water source.
The trees here look very lush, and it doesn't look like they are short of water. Even if there are no pools or streams on the mountain, there should be some small puddles that hold water.
So they decided to leave the two men and women here to watch, while the three men went to the hill on the right to look for them, while Qingyan and Chou Chou went to the hill on the left to look.
There is no way, if someone follows Qingyan and the two of them, they may not be able to help, or they may even be hindered.
Over the past few days, they have also learned about Qingyan and Chou Chou's capabilities.
He has good physical strength and fast speed. Although he looks very squeamish, his strength and speed are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Qingyan has indeed grown a lot compared to before, except for the blisters on her feet on the first day. After walking for a few days, the blisters on my feet have slowly turned into calluses, and I have become accustomed to this intensity of exercise.
After the distribution was completed, they split up.
But it was also agreed that no matter whether he was found or not, he would be back before dark.
It was already around two o'clock in the afternoon, and in summer it gets dark only at seven o'clock in the evening. You could just come back before then. It would take you a few hours and you would be able to walk some distance.
Qingyan and Chou Chou didn't groping forward slowly. Instead, Chou Chou climbed up the tree and looked ahead to make sure there was no water. Then they ran forward for a while. This way, they would save a little bit of searching and waste time.
Qingyan had already taken out her watch and put it in her backpack. Over the past few days, she had almost gotten the time right.
That's why she knows the current time. She relies on looking at the sky to tell the time. She hasn't learned this skill yet.
After entering the mountain, they have been walking upwards. According to Chou Chou, they are probably halfway up the mountain now.
Just an hour and a half after their departure, they were able to climb halfway up the mountain without a road, indicating that the mountain was not high.
Chou Chou found the tallest tree again and climbed up, almost reaching the top of the tree. He glanced around where they were and quickly climbed down.
She ran into Qingyan's arms and directly sent a message: "Yanyan, don't say anything. I'm telling you, there is a situation ahead. Someone is ambushing us about two to three hundred meters away. I wonder if they are ambushing us?" "
Qingyan frowned, ambushing them? There was no obvious movement along the way. How was it discovered?
And if they had been targeted for a long time, they wouldn't have been able to go so far up the mountainside to ambush them, right? You can take action after they are alone.
Qingyan felt that it was not someone who ambushed them. It was possible that someone was ambushing someone else here. The two of them broke into someone else's ambush.
No, there is still a distance of two to three hundred meters. It should not be considered as breaking in. If it is too late to go back now.
However, she has walked all the way here and has not yet found the water source. If she goes back, she feels that the previous journey has been in vain, which is a bit of a loss.
Then he said to Chou Chou: "Let's go around from the side. Can we avoid those people?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "We can't hide. They ambushed about twenty or thirty people and blocked the entire road up the mountain. If we want to go up the mountain, we can only pass by them."
Because they have cut off the road up, there is a cliff to our left and a valley not far to our right. It is impossible for us to go around it.
Unless we go back down the mountain, go around the valley and go up again, I probably won't be able to go up the mountain tomorrow just for this detour. "
Qingyan was a little discouraged when she heard this. In this case, she had no choice but to go down the mountain.
It's not like I'm looking for treasure, so I won't fight for my life with others.
Besides, even if it passes, there is no guarantee that there will be water up there, so there is no need to take this risk.
There were twenty or thirty people, and she was not sure that she could knock them down.
In dealing with those Khitans before, they were all killed because of surprise and Chou Chou's help.
This kind of people have ambushed them in advance. Although they are not enemies in the dark, they are in the light, but they are not gathered together, but scattered. It is impossible to wait for them to deal with them one by one.
As soon as they made a move, people would probably surround them. No matter how skilled the other party was, they wouldn't be able to do it.
Qingyan is not arrogant enough to think that she is invincible after learning some boxing skills. Not to mention that she has only been practicing for more than ten years. After all, she has no combat experience. She has been training based on physical fitness and self-defense.
Her father once told her that a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall. One thing more is worse than one less thing to do. If something happens, you can hide when you can. There is no need to know the danger and have to dig into it. That is not brave, that is stupid!
