Chapter 285: So close yet so far away
Several people just stared at the river not far from them!
But, I just can't get over it. It really perfectly illustrates the meaning of being so close yet so far away!
Xiao Yingxun lowered his head to observe the scope of the swamp, thinking of feasible solutions in his head!
This swamp is only about five or six meters wide. If you can find a way to walk on it, then it's possible!
Xiao Yingxun plans to go down and look for it himself!
Yin Chonghui saw Xiao Shuyao was about to go down again and stopped him!
"Second brother, what are you doing!"
"I have to explore the way. It won't work without water."
"But this is too dangerous, this won't work!"
"It's okay, just tie me up with a rope!"
“I am the most suitable one to go~”
"I have received professional training!"
After Xiao Yingxun finished speaking, he began to observe along the swamp and finally found a part where the land was not so soft.
Xiao Yingxun tied the rope around his waist and then handed the other end of the rope to Yin Chonghui!
Yin Chonghui was still a little worried, "Second brother, why don't we look for it again, there must be more."
The others nodded as well, this is a swamp!
The swamp is a place where no one can get out alive.
Just now they realized that it was a swamp and wanted to give up struggling!
Unexpectedly, the general actually brought them out!
But now that they have walked out, they never want to be involved in this swamp again!
Xiao Yingxun shook his head, "Only here is there a water source!"
"Tied up your kettles and gave them all to me!"
Several people were unable to persuade Xiao Yingxun, and it seemed that Xiao Yingxun was about to go to the swamp!
Tie up the things quickly. There's nothing you can do to help General Xiao anyway.
Then try not to hold back!
Xiao Yingxun had water bottles hanging all over his body. He stepped down carefully to test the soil and found that it was indeed much better than the soil over there!
In fact, he had never seen this swamp before!
Normally in the 24th century, swampland was relatively easy to spot, but he couldn't recognize this one!
But he didn't say anything more. Water is a necessity for survival, so he could only face it and make adjustments!
Xiao Yingxun did not delay any longer and slowly groped his way forward, being very careful with every step!
Soon, soon!
Now the people on the shore are so nervous that they can’t even hear their breathing!
Seeing General Xiao getting closer and closer to the water source, their hearts felt like they were about to jump out of their throats.
But only Xiao Yingxun himself knew that the closer he got to the river, the stronger the suction under his feet became, and he almost had cramps several times!
Xiao Yingxun gritted his teeth, thought about everyone's needs, and worked hard to move forward!
Everyone felt so heartbroken when they saw Xiao Yingxun’s expression becoming more and more painful!
When Xiao Yingxun was almost there, the ground beneath his feet suddenly became soft!
He didn't dare to move anymore and took a step back.
We can’t go any further, so let’s just leave it at that!
Xiao Yingxun said to the people on the shore, "Hurry up and give me a stick."
The people on the shore immediately found sticks, and Xiao Yingxun spoke again.
"I'll throw the pot at you!"
"Tie something to hold water to the other side of the stick."
Everyone searched for a long time, "There's nothing here to hold water!"
The man who carried all the belongings of the large army took out a small tank from his bag!
"Is this ok?"
Everyone looked at him, "Do you dare to be in the ink spot?"
Yin Chonghui snatched the jar from his hand, tied it to a stick, and handed the stick to Xiao Yingxun!
Xiao Yingxun used a wooden stick to scoop up water one by one!
"You all drink enough before you pretend!"
No one could bear to drink it, but Yin Chonghui spoke up.
"Drink quickly, everyone, drink enough, and fill up quickly"
"You guys have been wasting time here for half a day, and my second brother will be back soon."
No one dared to waste time and immediately started to do as they were told.
Xiao Yingxun no longer knew how many times he had gone back and forth!
I felt like both of my arms were about to break. Finally, I slowly moved the jar over and drank the water!
Anyway, he doesn't want to waste water at all!
Xiao Yingxun returned the same way, and when he reached the shore, he was completely exhausted!
Lying on the ground, unable to move anymore!
Everyone spontaneously began to massage Xiao Yingxun's legs and arms.
Xiao Yingxun no longer has the energy to care about anything!
Everyone just wait for Xiao Yingxun to rest!
We also started to build things on the spot and rest on the spot!
Xiao Yingxun fell asleep not long after he came ashore!
Yin Chonghui carried Xiao Yingxun to the prepared tent, and everyone began to prepare food!
They were not far from the bottom of the mountain!
So what we have to face next is the entire Zhao'an Kingdom!
Yin Chonghui frowned, wondering what was going on with the royal family!
He has been in the mountains recently and hasn't received any news!
I can only ask after I get to the foot of the mountain!
The next day, at dawn, everyone set off again!
The rest of the road was easy to travel on, so there wasn’t much delay!
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they could see farmers hunting coming and going!
Here, you can really feel like you have come out of the mountains!
The customs of the people in Zhao'an State were very warm and open, so everyone was polite in their clothing and men were polite in their physical work.
They all took off their shirts, their bodies covered in muscular muscles mixed with sweat.
Yin Chonghui began to demonstrate his abilities at this time!
Take everyone straight to a farmer's house!
Then everyone changed into Zhao'an folk style clothes. Just now, everyone was looking at them like monkeys!
Everything was fine now. They walked out of the farmer's yard with confidence and went to their current location.
It is Weiyang City on the border of Zhao'an State. The cities here are relatively backward!
When they arrived at Weiyang City, there were not many people setting up stalls outside the city.
Everyone looked lazy and indifferent!
Xiao Yingxun asked in confusion, "Why do they all look so indifferent when they have no business?"
Yin Chonghui said with a bad face, "Over the years, Zhao'an State has always been in a state of being crooked from top to bottom!"
"The Emperor of Zhao'an is greedy for beauty, and he has questions about beauty."
"Going to the authorities to file a complaint will not yield any results!"
"So, the people followed suit, knowing that no one would care about these things!"
"You have never been exposed to the situation in Zhao'an, so you don't know the corruption in Zhao'an!"
As Yin Chonghui was speaking, a group of people came in and brought a man with his mouth blocked and tears all over his face.
The woman who keeps struggling!
Xiao Yingxun wanted to go up and save people as a conditioned reflex. Yin Chonghui knew him too well!
Yin Chonghui immediately stopped him and said, "Brother, if you want to save everyone, then you can't save this person!"
"But~"
"Second brother, anyone who can arrest people openly on the street like this is no small character."
“What we need to do is not suitable for exposure”
Xiao Yingxun endured it again and again!
He really felt that watching such a helpless person being taken away and not saving him was simply a slander on his own values.
