Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Continue on your way.

They encountered a wandering wolf and a wild boar along the way.

They were all subdued by Feng Dali and his brothers.

When they were about to slaughter the animals, they discovered there was no water.

So, more people were sent to find water.

With so many people, Sang Ning couldn't possibly take out the spiritual spring water. She could only put a sip of water at the bottom of the bowl and give each member of the Huo family a sip to moisten their mouths whenever she had the chance.

Du Shan glanced at it halfway through, and after finding it was just an empty bowl, he lost interest.

It turns out they'd been licking their bowls to quench their thirst all day!

Really bitter.

I really shouldn't have volunteered to be the escort officer this time.

What's the use of getting money if you can't even get back alive?

Feng Dali and his companions searched for a long time, then returned with long faces, having found nothing.

“It’s alright, we’ll just drink animal blood,” Tian Kaiwu said, thinking himself clever.

"If you want to die too quickly, you can drink it," Sang Ning said coolly.

Feng Dali nodded in agreement: "Don't drink blood unless absolutely necessary, it will only make you thirstier."

Drinking blood can replenish the body's energy. When the body reaches its limit and is extremely thirsty, drinking blood can prolong life.

But they are not hungry now, only thirsty.

Raw blood contains bacteria and viruses, making it easy to get infected.

Moreover, drinking blood is similar to drinking beverages, except it's like drinking poison to quench thirst, unless the blood plasma is filtered out, but then there won't be much water left.

“Drinking blood is worse than drinking urine,” Sang Ning said again.

Tian Kaiwu swallowed hard, smacking his dry lips.

He said with disgust, "Pee? Your own pee?"

Or is it animal urine?

"You can drink your own or drink with each other; it's good to change things up."

Hey~

Everyone was disgusted!

Feng Dali secretly moved closer to Huo Jingya.

He poked her with his hands behind his back.

Just as Huo Jingya was about to kick him, she saw a bunch of small red fruits in his half-open hand.

Although I don't recognize the fruit, its bright red color is very tempting.

Huo Jingya didn't want to take it, but this rough man always stared at her blankly.

She really disliked him; she'd disliked him ever since he tried to trade her for a bear in Lujia Village.

It looks just like a bear!

However, Huo Jingya still took it.

Since he'll see it anyway, I might as well give it to my nephew to eat.

As soon as Huo Jingya took the fruit, Feng Dali, who had his back to her, grinned happily.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, is this edible?"

Huo Jingya first took it and asked Sang Ning.

"Milk jujubes, also known as sweet dates, are sweet and delicious. They can be made into jam and wine, and are very nutritious. Eat them!"

Huo Jingya was relieved. She left some for Sang Ning and tasted it herself. It was indeed very delicious.

She couldn't bear to eat any more, so she gave some to the old lady and distributed the rest to her three children.

"This girl is really nice."

Feng Dali rubbed his teeth and whispered to his brother A beside him.

I ate one myself, and gave the rest to my family.

It breaks my heart.

"But her brother is so scary!"

Brother A was still thinking about how terrifying Huo Chang'an's fierce eyes were, as if cold arrows were piercing his bones.

"So what if her brother is scary? I'm not marrying her brother."

Feng Dali made do by bleeding the wild boar and roasting it over a fire.

They first sent the two cleanest pig hind legs to Huo Chang'an.

Brother A: "..."

However, after tasting the delicious food made by Sang Ning, it's really hard to stomach these coarse and rotten dishes.

It smells awful and makes me want to vomit.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of wild vegetables in the mountains, and they can be eaten raw for a refreshing taste.

They continued walking while searching for water.

Finally, they arrived at a certain place, where Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu were the first to give up.

Eating too many wild vegetables can also cause diarrhea, okay?

My body is starting to dehydrate!

The two felt dizzy and their vision blurred; mirages were everywhere.

It felt like a knife was cutting my throat.

"No, no, we need to go and fix this again."

The two men, leaning on the hilts of their knives, entered the woods.

"We can't die here, Brother Du."

"Do you even need to tell me? I'm taking the money home so my mother can enjoy a comfortable life!"

"That's not as good as..."

"Dry!"

……

"vomit……"

"vomit……"

After vomiting for half a day, the two helped each other out of the woods.

There were also suspicious yellow stains around their mouths.

As soon as I came out, I saw a group of people gnawing on something.

"What...are you eating?"

Feng Dali spat out a mouthful of crumbs.

"Hey, you guys really went to drink urine? So, did you drink your own or something else for a different taste?"

"Ugh..." The two of them started gagging again.

I've tried them all!

They taste exactly the same!

When the body is dehydrated, the stench of urine can kill an elephant!

Sang Ning suppressed a laugh and gestured for Jin Tang to give the two of them a spindle root.

The spindle root was stolen by the people of Lujia Village, who, seeing it wasn't a good thing, carelessly threw it by the roadside.

They saw it just before they left and put it back in their backpacks.

"Sorry, there's not much of this. We can only use it in critical situations. You two should have one to replenish your fluids first."

"I've found signs of a water source. I'll take you there after we finish eating."

A water source must be found.

When Feng Dali and his group returned from seeing them off down the mountain, they also needed to resupply.

Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu didn't have time to ask questions and took a bite out of the spindle.

water!

So much water!

Fourth Madam, you could have taken it out a quarter of an hour earlier!

I wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't stop flowing!

……

Sang Ning said there was water nearby, based on the observation of a curlew flying overhead.

The curlew is a type of waterbird. You know the saying, "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits," right?

This refers to the sandpiper, which has curved beaks, straight beaks, pointed beaks, and both short and long beaks.

There is a water source here, so it should be a large area.

After replenishing their fluids, the brothers regained some energy. Sang Ning told his family to stay there, and then took a few brothers to find water.

Jintang followed without needing any further instructions.

My fourth uncle said that he is now his leg!

“Observe the ground humidity, the direction of plant roots, and the smell of the wind to determine where there is a water source. Observe carefully.”

Sang Ning watched and talked to the others.

"But I can't see any changes at all!" Brother B scratched his head.

"Nonsense! If it were that easy to find, we would have found it already! Lie on the ground and look carefully!" Feng Dali said.

But he himself couldn't see anything either.

Is this place reliable? It doesn't look like a place with water.

"Oh my god! Fourth Aunt, I saw a snake slither away!" Jintang shouted.

"Where to drill?"

"That!"

Sang Ning looked and saw that it was a cliff ten feet high.

She searched the area where the snake had disappeared and found that the base of the cliff was very damp and covered with moss.

This is it!

"Let's climb up and take a look."

The cliff wasn't difficult to climb, and Jintang followed suit.

As soon as everyone went up, a damp breeze blew in from below.

It turned out that on the other side of the cliff was a bottomless precipice!
