Fairy way

A few people were puzzled when they saw the waiter put the small kettle in the tray on the table of Xiao Hanfeng and the others and said to them: "This water is very expensive, let's see if you can afford it first."

Xiao Hanfeng was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at the small kettle on the table and asked, "What do you mean by this little brother? How expensive is this water?"

The waiter swept Xiao Hanfeng and the others around, his gaze stayed on Dongfang Qingwu for a long time before he said, "This water costs 50 taels of silver per pot. How about it? Do you still drink it?"

Xianyu stared at the younger brother with wide eyes and asked, "What kind of water is this? Why is it so expensive?"

The second brother looked at Xianyu's surprised face and smiled wryly: "You must be from other places, you don't know the rules of my Changli City. The only thing left in my Changli City is the water damage in a lake. The rest of the rivers have all dried up. The water in a city is obtained from that lake, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Changli City, do you think this water should be so expensive?" Xianyu listened After Xiaoer's words, I was speechless for a while. Hundreds of thousands of people use the water in a lake, and that water becomes rare.

Xianyu took out 50 taels of silver from himself and said: "I want this pot of water, but you have to tell me why the water in your place is so rare." into the pocket.However, he randomly pulled a stool from the table next to him, and sat with Xianyu and others.

Xiao Er sighed and said: "One year ago, this Changli City was originally a very prosperous place, but one day the two of them went to fetch water from the river, only to find that the water in the river had dried up at some point. Although there were some doubts in their hearts, there was more than one river in Changli City. The two started to dry up several other rivers. As a result, the two of them found that the other rivers were all dry. The two people who watched were stunned. The root of it is that all the water in the river channel has disappeared inexplicably now, which makes the city lord very anxious."

"Then what happened later? What happened later?" Xiao Yao asked Xiao Er with blinking eyes.

Although Xiaoyao's appearance is far inferior to Dongfang Qingwu, but after all, he is a person who cultivates immortals and asks questions. Moreover, Xuanran Mountain is also a blessed place of spiritual mountains, so if Xiaoyao's appearance is placed in the mortal world, it will definitely be called extremely beautiful woman.Xiaoer saw that the person who was asking him a question was a woman with a beautiful appearance.A smile appeared on his originally listless face, Xiaoer cleared his throat and said to Xiaoyao: "Later, the people in the city searched the entire city for a source of water. Just when everyone was discouraged, a man appeared in the city and told people that there was a lake in his place, and there was water in the lake. He also said that the water in his place was the only source of water in the city. If you wanted to drink it, it was easy. Drink it It costs ten taels of silver."

Xian Yu frowned when he heard the waiter's words. It costs ten taels of silver to drink a sip of water. Is this water really a good wine?Several people faintly felt that this matter was not that simple. Why did the water in the city suddenly disappear?If it is God's will, why is there still a lake of water left?Xian Yu pondered for a moment and asked Xiaoer: "Then who is guarding the lake?"

Xiao Er thought for a while and said: "I don't know too well, I only know that the person is a woman, and I don't know the rest."

After hearing this, Xian Yu exchanged a glance with Xiao Hanfeng, Xiao Hanfeng said: "Go and have a look, it's really a continuous wave."

A group of people got up and walked towards the door of the store, but they were stopped by the waiter in the store not long after they walked.I saw the small second-hand store in the shop holding a small kettle and saying to several people: "Your water, the water you bought for 50 taels, take it." Xianyu didn't shirk when he heard the words, and walked over to take the kettle in his hand.This was originally the water he bought for 50 taels, and he never suffered a loss.

After leaving the store, Xiao Hanfeng randomly found a middle-aged man on the street and asked, "Brother, may I ask where is the water supply in this city?" The middle-aged man looked Xiao Hanfeng up and down, There was a hint of doubt on his face, but he was relieved immediately.

I only heard the middle-aged man say: "You must be from other places, if not, you don't know where to get water." The middle-aged man said, turned and pointed to a low mountain peak in the east to Xiao Hanfeng He said: "It's on the mountain over there, but if we want to drink water here, it costs a lot of money. There are many fewer people in this city now, and they are all forced to leave because they can't drink water. A sip of water is ten taels of silver, this is the food ration of ordinary people for a few months." After speaking, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and walked forward. From the clothes of the middle-aged man, it can be seen that the family background of this man is fairly well-off Otherwise, I am afraid that he would not be in this city long ago.

At the foot of the mountain that the middle-aged man said, Xian Yu and the others saw dozens of long dragons.It was a long queue of people, and the queue stretched all the way up the mountain, with no end in sight.Seeing this scene, Xianyu and the others were speechless for a while, this formation is really a spectacle.The few people didn't use spells, because seeing the situation at the moment, even if they used spells to go up the mountain, they couldn't solve anything, so they found a long dragon and stood in line at the end.In this way, from noon to sunset on the western mountain, behind them were many people who came to fetch water.

Xian Yu was looking at the crowd in front of him, when he suddenly felt that someone in front of him fell down.He looked down and saw that it was an old man in his seventies or eighties.The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and his cloudy old eyes were full of confusion at the moment.Just listen to him muttering: "Water...water..."

Seeing this, Xianyu took out the pot of water on his body and brought it to the old man's mouth without any hesitation. After taking a sip of water, the old man's eyes became brighter.The old man gradually saw the people beside him clearly, and only then did he see a small kettle by his mouth.The old man looked at Xian Yu again, first a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then that surprise turned into panic.The old man said to Xian Yu in a trembling voice: "Master, I don't have any taels of silver, and I don't have any money to give you after drinking your water. I only have ten taels of silver with me at the moment, but that's for giving My grandson is looking for some water to drink, my grandson has been without water for two days."

After listening to the old man's words, Xianyu felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He smiled and said to the old man: "Master, I voluntarily gave you this water, and you don't need to spend money. Don't worry."

The old man couldn't believe his ears when he heard what Xianyu said, and wondered if he heard it wrong.This time, the water in Jingjing City can be said to be much more valuable than gold, how could this young man in front of him be so generous with the water for his own use?But when the old man saw Xian Yu's sincere eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and then two lines of old tears flowed down his cheeks.

At this moment, urging voices came from behind them, and Xianyu helped the old man to a stone by the side of the road and sat down.Anyway, it doesn't matter if they don't eat or drink for a few days. As for the water that the old man wants, it's easier to have Xianyu and others around.The big deal is that Xianyu went to the small shop just now to buy a pot of water for the old man. Before Xianyu went down the mountain, Xuan Renzi gave him a lot of silver. As for where the silver came from, Xianyu didn't ask much.

Helping the old man to do a good job, Xian Yu asked: "Old man, why do you still come out to do things at such an advanced age? Are there no young adults in the family?" Hearing Xian Yu mentioning his family affairs, the old man's eyes were full of tears again. The tearful appearance made people feel sad.

The old man tremblingly said to Xian Yu and the others: "I originally had a son, but... but just last month, my son and his daughter-in-law had no money to buy water, so... they both committed suicide. They The two are fine, and when they die, they don’t know anything. But they left a child. Now there are only two of us, grandparents and grandchildren left in the family. For the sake of my little grandson, the old man has to risk his life to get him some water."

Xiao Hanfeng and others' faces sank when they heard the old man's words, and Xianyu was even more angry.Drinking water, how easy it would be on a daily basis, even if it was easy for Xianyu to drink water when he was a beggar in the past.But now?It is really unreasonable to force a living person to hang himself for a sip of water.Xianyu felt that if God did it at this time, then God would be too ruthless.If this is done by a human being, then that human being deserves death.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the long dragon that fetches water seems to have never changed.Often there is one or two, and there is no sign of dispersing at all.Hyun-woo looks forward and can't see anything but a human head.At this moment, a young man came down from the mountain crying, Xian Yu stopped his way and asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

The young man wiped his tears and said: "The woman said that this is the end of the day, if you want to get water, hurry up. I have been waiting here for two days and two nights, but I still haven't got water."

While Xianyu was talking to the young man, a large crowd came down from the mountain, and the crowd at the rear turned around and left as if they knew what had happened.Xian Yu asked the young man, "Since there is no water available here, why don't you leave?"

The young man was still crying and said: "Everyone who can leave has left, and most of the ones left are old people and children. I have an old lady in my family. I really don't want to leave here." The young man ran down crying Mountain.Xianyu looked at the young man's back, feeling helpless in his heart.

Originally thought that these departed people would go home, but what Xianyu and the others didn't expect was that some of these people simply slept on the side of the road, without thinking about it, they knew that they wanted to get water earlier tomorrow.And those who returned home were probably like the young man just now, because someone at home needed to take care of them.

Seeing everyone walking down the mountain, the old man sighed and wanted to get up and leave.Xian Yu supported his shoulder and said, "Don't panic, old man, I will take you to fetch water."

Before the old man could say anything, he felt his body lighten up, and he went towards the mountain quickly.The old man looked at Xian Yu and the others with a look of surprise on his face, "Who are you? Are you monsters?"

Xian Yu smiled at the old man and said, "We are not monsters, but the water seller above is probably a monster."

After hearing Xian Yu's words, the old man froze there, and when he came back to his senses, Xian Yu and others had brought him to the top of the mountain.
