Chapter 140 Water Slave
Chapter 140 Water Slave
The man was in his early thirties, with a haggard appearance, bloodless lips, chapped skin, and skinny body. His tattered clothes looked like a cloak on him.
More importantly, that person is a brother.
The boy who was hiding behind the rocks staggered to his feet and slowly walked out holding on to the rocks.
In the dark night, the boy's eyes were surprisingly bright, as if he had seen something unforgettable.
This was indeed the case. The boy looked at Xiao Li with sparkling eyes and moved his lips, but no sound came out because he had not spoken for too long.
Perhaps because he didn't expect to be unable to make a sound, he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Li took out a small bamboo tube from the space under the cover of his sleeve and handed it to him, "Drink it."
The man was stunned again, and then wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him, but he was stopped by him, "Drink some water first, I will ask you something later."
"Okay... okay..." The man spoke with effort, took the bamboo tube, leaned against the mountain wall and drank the water with great care. It took him a while to barely wet his cracked lips.
The water in the bamboo tube was probably only an ordinary bowl, which should not be much, especially for someone who was extremely thirsty.
However, the other party's movements were extremely slow. If one hadn't seen his current appearance with one's own eyes, who would have known that he was an extremely thirsty person?
However, Xiao Li was not unfamiliar with this. In the end times, there were many people like this.
If he was the only one here, he would have the patience to wait, but there were people from Yangliu Village not far away, and he didn't want to waste too much time here.
After waiting for a while, the other party was still drinking water so stingily. Xiao Li said calmly, "There's no shortage of water now, so you don't have to be so stingy. If you don't drink now, hurry up. We'll have to go down the mountain soon. Or do you plan to stay here alone?"
Hearing this, the man paused, not knowing what he was thinking, and two lines of tears silently flowed from his eyes.
He nodded and drank water while crying, and soon his haggard face seemed to have a little more life.
What Xiao Li gave him to drink was spiritual spring water, and it was water collected from a place close to the source. Although it could not revive the dead, it could at least quickly restore people's energy.
The other person didn't know how long he had been hungry and thirsty, so his recovery was naturally not as obvious as that of a normal person after drinking the drink. Therefore, the other person did not notice anything unusual about himself.
After drinking all the water in the bamboo tube, the man finally seemed to come to his senses and was about to kneel down in front of him with gratitude, "Thank you for the gift of water, my slave is very grateful."
"Are you a slave?" Xiao Li had no prejudice against slaves, but asked casually, "What's the situation between you and those refugees?"
Obviously, among those refugees who were in good condition, his condition of being almost starving to death and thirsty was not considered good.
"I am a slave. On the way to escape, all the people of the master's family died one after another. Only me and the young master are left..." When he said this, Shui Nu shed tears of worry, "We came to this cave earlier than those people, and they didn't know us.
But because they occupied an exit, and the young master and I were both brothers, we naturally didn't dare show up. We could only rely on the little remaining food to survive. However, we had no food to eat in the past few days.
I secretly hid it from the young master and left the last of my food for him. I fainted from hunger. The young master overheard people saying that the world outside was better, so he went out to find food. Now the day is almost over, and he still hasn't returned..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise not far away.
"Why is there a child?"
