Chapter 146 Another male supporting role appears
Although Song Rending changed his name quite early, by the time they arrived near the location of the newly appeared male supporting role, half a day had passed since Song Renzong changed his name.
There was still a day's journey to Changguan Posthouse. They had been walking non-stop from the time the sun first rose in the morning until now when the sun was gradually setting. No one could walk any further.
"It's cool here. Let's move to the side and have a rest before continuing on our journey!" Captain Liu took a sip of water from the water gourd, squinted his eyes and looked ahead before making this decision.
Because the road became more and more desolate, and more and more people were fleeing the disaster, now no one in the team would refute Captain Liu's decision.
Especially when Hong Xiao and his third team followed the second team and saw that the team was scattered, they asked around and heard that before the team became what it is now, they were not very willing to listen to the captain's orders.
The troublemakers in the second team all started to shut up when Captain Liu gave orders.
Ever since the third team followed the second team, there have been no more troublemakers along the way. Captain Liu should not have it too easy to lead the team.
Whenever he felt relieved, he always sighed in his heart - letting the third team follow behind his own team is not without benefits. Look, by comparison, the troublemakers also know what is good and what is bad.
So after he gave the order, the entire team moved to the side of the road and stopped to rest.
When the captain Hong Xiao saw the team in front moving to the side and stopping to rest, he quickly called on the people in his team to move to the side and rest with the team in front.
Although we followed the second team, the two teams only walked together and were minding their own business. The third team was a scattered group of people, lacking food and water. The whole team had lost its spirit and was much easier to manage than before.
There are woods on both sides of the road. Although they are yellow and dry, the leaves in the woods are still there and they can still cast some shade. I think if we look carefully, we can find some water source.
"Mom, I'm going into the woods to see if there's anything that can quench my thirst." Su Xigen picked up the water hyacinth, said something to Old Lady Su, and wanted to go into the woods.
They didn't encounter any rivers or streams along the way, and they were not like the Songjia Village ahead which had a car with a tower. They had water stored in the car, and every time they encountered a stream, they would store some water to save for drinking. The water in his water gourd had almost run out a long time ago.
The weather was hot, and they kept walking, so it was easy to get dry and thirsty. Although Old Mrs. Su could walk normally, she had a limp in one leg, and Su Xigen could not rely on her, so he could only suggest going into the woods to find water himself.
Old Mrs. Su put the bag on the ground and wanted to sit on it while holding Su Fuzhu. After hearing what Su Xigen said, she just nodded and let him go. Unexpectedly, Su Fuzhu, who had been lying quietly in her arms, suddenly jumped up.
"I want to go with Dad!" Su Fuzhu suddenly jumped up and grabbed Su Xigen's trouser leg.
Although she still had a fair and tender appearance, her lips had become dry and chapped due to lack of water and thirst, and her fair and tender cheeks had a hint of yellowness.
It's just that because Old Lady Su always puts her first in everything she does, and then her beloved son Su Xigen, Su Fuzhu's spirit is still good. At least she is not depressed due to lack of food and drink and constant traveling.
"The weather is so hot, why are you following your father into the woods? Why don't you sit here with grandma and rest?" After hearing what Su Fuzhu said, Grandma Su's first reaction was to reject her suggestion.
After years of care, she just wanted Su Fuzhu to be safe and sound, and she didn't think much about anything else.
In her opinion, in such hot weather, although going into the woods would provide some shade, it would be a waste of energy and would not be a good thing. And since her precious granddaughter was still a child, she would rather not go if she could.
But what she didn't expect was that this time Su Fuzhu didn't listen to her as usual, but insisted on going into the woods, as if there was something in the woods that attracted her.
"No, grandma, I want to go!" Su Fuzhu put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet, her face full of seriousness, as if what she was discussing with Grandma Su was an earth-shattering event.
Old Mrs. Su felt that she seldom saw Su Fuzhu like this. The last time she saw him was before her son Su Xigen became an official.
Looking at Su Fuzhu's serious expression, Old Lady Su inexplicably felt a little strange in her heart - could it be that something big was going to happen again? Otherwise, why would her Fuzhu have such an attitude?
The more Old Mrs. Su thought about it, the more she felt that this might be the case. After looking at Su Fuzhu's serious face, which even had a hint of anxiety and impatience in her expression, she hesitated and agreed.
However, after she agreed, she did not forget to tell Su Xigen: "Gen'er, Fuzhu wants to go with you, then go together, but you must take good care of Fuzhu!"
Although Su Xigen felt that his daughter did have some miraculous qualities, when he looked at Su Fuju, he felt that she was just an ordinary daughter of his.
It is not easy to run to the woods to find water, especially in such a dry situation.
Although we are in a hurry now and can see everything clearly in the woods, it does not mean that there is no danger.
Under such circumstances, Su Xigen was very impatient to take a child with him.
He wanted to refuse, but the next second Su Fuzhu hugged his waist.
When he looked down and saw Su Fuju's eyes full of desire, Su Xigen was inexplicably unable to say no.
"Then... let's go together!" Su Xigen couldn't say no, so he simply agreed. However, he still said to Su Fuzhu: "But, after we enter the woods, you must listen to your father!"
Su Fuzhu felt that there was something inexplicable in the woods that was attracting her, so she really wanted to go in and find out what it was.
She also knew that she was still a child and it was impossible for her to enter the woods alone, so she could only hold on to Su Xigen.
Therefore, she readily agreed to Su Xigen's request.
When Su Xigen saw that he agreed, he didn't say anything more, but took him into the woods.
He wanted to end the battle quickly, especially since he was carrying his mother's precious granddaughter.
So once we entered the forest, we headed towards the dense areas, hoping to find some water source as soon as possible.
As a result, the good girl Su Fuzhu who followed him into the woods did not listen to his command at all. She clearly agreed to listen to him after entering the woods, but after entering the woods, Su Fuzhu left him behind and went in one direction.
Su Xigen was afraid that if his daughter really got lost, he would have a hard time explaining to his mother when he returned, so he followed Su Fuju impatiently, trying to persuade her to go to a place with dense woods, but unfortunately - he failed.
Just as Su Xigen was thinking about whether he should pick up his daughter from the ground and walk to the side, Su Fuzhu quickened her pace and ran towards a bush.
"Fuzhu, what are you doing!" Su Xigen hurried to catch up.
But after running for a while, Su Fuzhu stopped and stood in front of the grass without moving or speaking.
Su Xigen took a few steps forward, but saw only a young man lying in the grass. Although he looked a little dirty and disheveled, he had a golden crown on his head, a golden collar around his neck, and an expensive-looking jade pendant on his waist. The material of his clothes seemed to be of good quality, and there was nothing wrong with him except that he was dirty.
"Oh my goodness! This is a golden baby!" Su Xigen couldn't help but exclaim.
