Meng Weiwei was stunned for a few seconds before she shouted at Wu Hao’s back in fear, “Brother Hao!!!”
Without Wu Hao, she really didn’t know what to do with her injured parents.
At that moment, she once again realized how important Wu Hao was to her. Wu Hao seemed to have really let go and did not look back. Meng Weiwei fell into despair and buried her head in her tears.
The team was huge, and the medicine for burns was quickly used up.
There were still many people who had not been treated.
However, most of them were only slightly injured. Even if the pain was unbearable, they could still continue on their way.
Only a few people were seriously injured, so You Huaijie had specially arranged for a few carriages to carry the seriously injured.
In order to prevent any rebels from appearing on the road, they even specially sent people to investigate the road ahead.
Everyone walked for another day. When it was almost dark, everyone had almost finished the water they carried with them.
Many people looked at the endless desert and became terrified.
People kept wondering if there was water ahead.
Some people even thought of escaping.
They hadn’t even arrived at the southern frontier, but the environment here was already so harsh. How would they survive when they arrived at the southern frontier?
Now that they were stuck in a dilemma, many people regretted choosing to move to the southern frontier.
The morale of the team was very low. Now, they could only reach the gathering place to get water as soon as possible to regain their morale.
However, it was almost dark now. They could only wait until the next morning before setting off.
Just as everyone was choosing their campsite, a patch of greenery suddenly appeared in front of them.
The range of the greenery was not small.
With so many of them, they might be able to discover a water source.
The team suddenly became excited. If not for the soldiers stopping them, the commoners would have swarmed forward.
Bai Wutong sat on the horseback and looked across. As expected, it was a patch of cactuses.
Cactus was a good thing in the desert.
The cactus could be squeeze-dried into juice. After the thorns were removed, it could be sliced into pieces, and stir-fried. The fruit was also a kind of fruit that quenched thirst.
Most importantly, cactus could also treat burns.
By crushing the cactus and applying the cactus fluid to the burns, not only could it relieve the burning pain, it could also reduce the scarring.
Bai Wutong knew the usage of cactuses. On the other side, Wen Renhua also brought his disciple, Gu Zhongxun, to a cactus. After confirming it, he immediately reported the use of the cactus to You Huaijie.
Many people’s burns had yet to be treated. Now that there was suddenly medicine, everyone was very happy.
However, Wen Renhua did not seem to know that cactus was edible. Bai Wutong stepped forward. “I think even desert camels eat cactus to quench their thirst. Can we eat it too?’
Wen Renhua said, “It’s possible in terms of pharmacology.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yue, who heard from the locals that cactus could be eaten, had already cut a piece with his sword and put it to his mouth.
“I’ll help everyone try it first.”
Lin Yue took a bite and frowned. “It’s sticky and a little bitter.”
His expression didn’t look good.
But Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Perhaps it might be good to use it for cooking. ”
Lin Yue nodded reluctantly. “Perhaps.” However, he had an expression that said, “Don’t let him eat it.”
They ate dry rations along the way. It was not easy to find fresh vegetables to eat.
After knowing that cactuses could be eaten, many people took the initiative to pluck and cook them.
Auntie Yang’s culinary skills were outstanding. Seeing that the cactus was very similar to green melon, she used the cactus to stew marinated meat, scrambled eggs, and marinated fish soup.
After the originally bitter cactus was cooked, it actually had a different flavor.
Upon smelling this smell, those who bit the cactus to satisfy their cravings wondered if they were eating the same thing.
It didn’t matter if it was delicious or not. With the cactus to quench their thirst and as medicine for their burns, the restlessness of the team finally stabilized as the sky turned dark.
The next day, after a night of rest, everyone was in good spirits and continued to set off for the southern frontier.
As long as they did not delay on the way that day, they would reach the first stronghold in the desert.
There was an ancient well in the stronghold where they could replenish their water.
At noon, they finally saw the gathering place.
Most of the people stationed at the gathering place were Syrians and southern frontier people.
The white tents looked like endless hope in the desert.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were about to boil water and eat instant noodles when the person who went to get water suddenly ran back anxiously and shouted at You Huaijie, “Sir, they don’t allow us to get water!” You Huaijie frowned and quickly brought people to check.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao followed.
As soon as they went over, they saw many people guarding the well. When they saw that You Huaijie had brought a large number of people over, they quickly gathered more people to confront them.
You Huaijie signaled his subordinates not to make a move. He looked at Meng
Shan, who was the leader. “Why don’t you let us fetch water?’
Meng Shan said directly, ‘This is our water. If we let you drink it, what would we drink?’
Water was more expensive than gold in the desert. When Marshal Gu’s army headed to the southern frontier, they specially picked the rainy season to bring the army to the southern frontier.
You Huaijie frowned. “This well water doesn’t belong to you.’
Meng Shan said happily, ‘This well water is really passed down from our ancestors. If you want to drink water, go and beg the heavens yourself. ‘
If the heavens were useful, everyone would have begged long ago.
You Huaijie still wanted to reason with Meng Shan. ‘”The Southern Frontier is already a part of Ling Kingdom. We have the right to drink the water in this well.”
Meng Shan’s face suddenly darkened. “You want to snatch our water? If you don’t let us live, we’ll fight to the death with you!”
The burly men behind him shouted in response, looking like they would protect the well to the death.
Without water, the entire team would never be able to walk out of the desert.
Although there was a steady stream of running water in the RV space, Bai Wutong would never expose it to anyone unless she had to.
Therefore, they had to get the well water.
Chu Tianbao knew this very well.
As soon as Meng Shan finished speaking, a strong wind blew past. In the blink of an eye, the tall and mighty Meng Shan had been strangled by Chu Tianbao and hung from the well.
In an instant, the surrounding air froze.
How did Chu Tianbao capture Meng Shan in front of everyone? Even those who did not blink did not see clearly.
Meng Shan grabbed Chu Tianbao’s hand and wanted to struggle, but it was useless.
The others wanted to approach and ambush Chu Tianbao. Chu Tianbao did not even extend his hand. Powerful internal force surged out and shot out waves of bullets.
This completely stunned everyone.
Meng Shan also realized that the person in front of him was a one in a million expert who could take his life at any time. Moreover, it was not a joke. He could only ask with a trembling voice, “How much water do you want? I’ll give it to you as long as you let me off.”
Chu Tianbao said calmly, “Everything.”
Meng Shan immediately cried and said, “It’s really not that I don’t want to give all the well water to you. It’s just that so many of us have to live. The well water would become less the more you take, especially since it hasn’t rained this year. If so many ofyou bring the water away, we won’t be able to survive.”
The brothers behind him quickly echoed, “Really, we’re not lying to you. There’s too little well water. Without this well water, we won’t be able to survive here anymore. Our ancestors have been here for generations. We don’t want to leave..”
