Xu Chunhe and the others had just come back for a while, but they could not find Xu Dajun and the others. Everyone was extremely anxious, waiting for Xu Chunshan and the others to bring back good news.
Uncle Zhang and the others were back at this moment, but Zhou Dalang was unconscious and Xu Chunshan was nowhere to be seen. This really aroused everyone's anxiety.
Shi and Xiao Shi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law threw themselves on Zhou Dalang. One called her son and the other called husband-in-law. They both burst into tears.
Old men Xu and Zhou quickly asked Uncle Zhang what happened.
Uncle Zhang didn't know either, "We searched around but couldn't find Liulang and the others. We were about to come back to see the situation, but we bumped into Zhou Dalang. When we saw him, he fell to the ground. He was the only one.
, I didn’t see Chunshan!”
So now only Zhou Dalang knows what happened.
Old man Xu hurriedly asked Shi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take a good look at Zhou Dalang to see if there were any injuries. After looking through them, they found no injuries.
Then he quickly pinched Renzhong again. Old Mrs. Shi almost came up to perform the ritual on her grandson to awaken his soul. Zhou Dalang finally woke up faintly.
Seeing that he was awake, everyone started asking questions.
Zhou Dalang opened his mouth and was about to shout "We found water!", but fortunately he still remembered what Xu Chunshan had told him, so he quickly swallowed it back, and then turned around and said, "Uncle, I have something to say to you alone.
!”
Everyone:?!
Fortunately, everyone agreed that Old Man Xu was the leader of their group. Although they were anxious about what had happened, everyone spontaneously returned to their seats, leaving Zhou Dalang and Old Man Xu here.
Seeing that no one else was there, Zhou Dalang quickly lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Grandpa, cousin, they have found water! Cousin Chunshan asked me to come back to report the news, and asked grandpa to send someone with a hoe!"
Found water?
"real?"
Old Man Xu was so excited that his vest felt hot, and the heat rushed straight to his forehead. It took him a while to regain his composure.
Zhou Dalang nodded, "It's true! My cousin didn't come back because of this! After we found them, they dug a small hole. Cousin Chunshan touched it and found that the mud was wet.
There is really water! Grandpa, please ask someone to bring a hoe!"
If it were just Xu Sanlang and Zhang Sanlang, old man Xu would still be hesitant, but Liu Lang is here too, and Liu Lang has always been smart!
Is it true that the guarantee is incomplete?
Old Xu's mind was spinning rapidly. This matter should not be made public. Unexpectedly, the third child was also smart and knew how to tell Zhou Dalang to avoid people and not make any noise.
He hurriedly called the men from several houses to come over, without saying much. He just ordered some people to come out and asked them to bring their own hoes.
Others didn't know what Zhou Dalang said, but after hearing Old Man Xu's arrangement, they didn't say much. When several families escaped from the famine, they all brought their home hoes, such as hoes, hatchets, and kitchen knives. It was all a waste.
If you buy it with money, you will also need it on the road.
Do it one by one immediately.
Old Man Xu asked Old Man Zhou to stay and watch those who needed to stay awake, and those who needed to sleep, until they came back.
Then he took the people who were named and set off with Zhou Dalang!
It was already very dark now, and most of the refugees who had stopped to rest in this area were already asleep, but they were the only ones who were still asleep.
The refugees who were nearby all listened to what was going on on their end, and knew that one of their group seemed to have gone out and not come back yet, and they were looking for someone.
So when they heard the noise or looked over, they were a little curious when they saw this group of people holding torches heading back into the forest.
But soon I heard shouts coming from the forest: "Rokuro! Sanro! Where are you!"
Oh, it seems that the boy at home hasn’t been found yet!
I didn't even take it to heart.
I just secretly tightened my grip on my children, thinking that I would have to tell them tomorrow not to run around alone. There are too many refugees, and it is impossible for anyone to do anything bad!
Old man Xu led the team, Zhou Dalang led the way, and a group of people moved through the forest with torches.
I walked and shouted all the way, and walked through the forest halfway before I stopped talking, kept my head down and speeded up.
But after walking a while, Zhou Dalang, who was leading the way, stopped.
"Da Lang?" Old Man Xu called him, "Are you still dizzy? Why don't you let them carry you on their backs? You can just show the way."
Zhou Dalang looked to the left, then to the right, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "That... uncle, I... I forgot the way..."
Old Man Xu:......
He took two deep breaths and was a little speechless. How could he forget the way for such an important matter? He had never thought that his grandnephew was so stupid in the past!
"Do you think about it?"
Zhou Dalang nodded, touched his head, looked at the road ahead, and thought carefully.
But under the firelight, there was nothing special anywhere, and he really couldn't remember which way he was going.
…
At the foot of the mountain, Xu Chunshan took the hatchet from his stinky son and worked hard for a long time. He was so tired that he breathed heavily. He stopped to take a breath and wiped his sweat. "Dalang Zhou, why did it take you so long to go back?"
It's been more than half an hour, and the total round trip is only eight or nine miles, so it's time to bring someone here, right?
Xu Dajun listened, and immediately his face became strange, "A group of people seem to be spinning in circles? Dad, look at it."
When Xu Chunshan heard what his stinky son said, he rested for a while and regained some strength, then he immediately looked in that direction.
Seeing this, the corner of his mouth twitched, "What are you doing? You can come out of the woods, turn around and climb a slope. It's only a small distance away. You can still hear it if you shout louder. No matter where you stand, what are you doing?
What?"
"Cousin Zhou doesn't know the way anymore." Xu Dajun was also convinced.
Hearing that Zhou Dalang was about to take the lead in another direction, he couldn't sit still anymore and quickly got up and headed over there, "I'll pick you up!"
Xu Sanlang and Zhang Sanlang were digging, their minds filled with water and water, and they didn't pay attention to what the father and son said. When Xu Dajun suddenly said that he was going to pick someone up, they didn't care. They just thought that he couldn't wait any longer.
Woolen cloth.
Not far away, Xu Dajun climbed up the slope and saw the fire in front of him. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grandpa!"
At the other end, Old Man Xu, who was about to follow Zhou Dalang, who had finally designated a direction, heard the shout and immediately stood still, "It's Liulang!"
"No, the sound seems to be coming from over there." Deng Dalang, who has good ears, said.
Zhou Dalang looked extremely embarrassed. After pointing for a long time, he didn't expect that he was pointing the wrong way.
Zhou Dachuan looked at his son with an expression that said, "That's enough." He said hurriedly: "Uncle, let's hurry up and welcome Liulang."
Old man Xu nodded, and the group immediately went in the direction where Xu Dajun's voice came from.
Not long after, I saw Xu Dajun coming over.
The two sides met, and without saying much, Xu Dajun quickly led the way and led everyone to the foot of the mountain.
When they arrived at the place, Zhou Dachuan and others realized why Old Man Xu asked them to bring hoes.
It turns out that Rokuro and these guys discovered the source of water!
At this moment, there is no need for Old Man Xu to give instructions. Anyone with a hoe in his hand will jump down and start digging.
Those who didn't have a hoe took the stones and hatchets from Zhang Sanlang and others.
When it was not enough, I spontaneously went looking for rocks again. Anyway, I was not idle, so I dug quickly!
