Chapter 104
One of the tin pots rolled to Zheng Qiu's side. He glanced forward, leaned out secretly, and quickly grabbed the iron pot and hid under his body.
He shook the iron pot, but there was no rattling sound, and it was empty.
It seems that this cultivator did not get the water, but wanted to snatch others, but was knocked down by others.
Zheng Qiu threw the iron pot out, huddled on the ground and continued to wait. At this moment, he must not be in a hurry, and he must not let others discover his traces.
"Get the hell out of here!" Accompanied by the roar, blue and green flames rushed out from the crowd, and the flames slammed into the road unstoppably like a wild horse running wild.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a coarse cloak and holding a broad knife followed the flames and broke out.
The cloak was torn open on the man's chest, revealing the thin silver ring iron armor inside. He was wrapped with an iron kettle belt around his waist and hung a circle around his shoulders. It seemed that he was quite well prepared.
The man rushed out of the crowd, stepped hard on the ground with his right foot, and at the same time threw the big knife in his hand into the air, intending to fly away from here.
Just as he rushed out of the crowd, many people shouted from behind.
"There's water in his iron kettle!"
"Stop him, he has water on him!"
"I saw him fetch water, don't let him run away!"
Hearing these words, the people who had been avoiding him stopped immediately, turned around and chased after him, attacking the man with red eyes.
A large wave of air hit, mixed with thrown weapons, the man saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly grabbed the tassel of the broadsword, and pulled the broadsword flying into the sky back into his hand.
Then he opened his mouth and yelled, and swung the three-bladed flame wheel to block it. The flame wheel hit the frontmost air wave with a bang, and the violently diffused air flow blew away dozens of attacks.
But the follow-up attack was still approaching him, reaching him in the blink of an eye.
The man jumped up and wanted to fly just now, but at this moment his body was a foot above the ground, there was nothing to support him, only air.
Quickly and wisely, he crossed the broadsword, mobilized his strength and swept the blade to the right. Suddenly a wave of air rushed out to the right, and he relied on the counterforce of the air wave to let his body float to the left.
However, this kind of evasion speed was far slower than the attack speed. The man only avoided three attacks before he was hit by a large wave of air and weapons.
The thin iron armor on the man's body was a good thing. The weapon knocked against his chest, and sparks flew out, but those air waves could not be blocked by the iron armor.
The air waves hit him one after another, causing his eyes to turn white, and his whole body to shake violently. At the same time, the weapons attacking his limbs were not blocked by the armor, and red flowers were drawn in the air.
One of the swords passed by the man's waist, breaking the belt of the iron pot, and then the air wave hit, sending the iron pot flying.
The flying iron pot fell to the ground like a celestial girl scattered flowers, rolling and mixing with other empty iron pots on the ground.
Zheng Qiu lay on the ground and watched carefully. He heard the crowd yelling just now, and knew that these iron pots were filled with water.
Looking up and looking ahead, those cultivators were busy snatching the iron kettle belt on the man's shoulders, and they didn't have time to come to the ground to sift through them one by one.
good chance! Zheng Qiu leaned forward, quickly grabbed the three nearest iron pots, shook his palm, and found that there was water in two of them, enough to last until the next distribution.
He immediately hid the iron pot in his clothes, lay down on the ground, and moved to the distance bit by bit, at an extremely slow speed.
The cultivators who were busy fighting didn't notice that there were still people moving here.
After a long time, Zheng Qiu finally approached the corner of the street quietly. He looked around and saw no one, so he immediately got up and ran into the alley with his waist down.
In the alley, Ma Peng and Ermao were extremely anxious. They kept walking in circles, touching their heads with their hands and making fists, as if they had nowhere to rest.
The eared cat looked at Ma Peng with a worried expression on his face: "Ma Peng, why hasn't Zheng Qiu come back yet, will it be..."
"Don't talk nonsense, Zheng Qiu is fine, trust him!" Ma Peng shook his head and interrupted the cat's words, looking towards the entrance of the alley.
When he saw this, his face lit up with joy, and he jumped up: "Here we come! Zheng Qiu is here!"
Ma Peng and Ermao were very happy and ran forward to hug Zheng Qiu, but Zheng Qiu pushed him with his hand.
Zheng Qiu protected his chest and stomach, lowered his voice and said: "Be careful, there are pots, both of them are full."
Ma Peng clenched his fist and slammed it on his palm: "That's great! I said Zheng Qiu can do it!"
With that said, he pulled open his collar, ready to take out the water bag.
The eared cat stopped him: "Don't! It's too close here, we will be found, let's go to the dung drying room, there must be no one there."
There is no vegetation in the Great Wilderness, and naturally there is no charcoal. The fire here is to burn a special thing, dung cake.
The so-called dung cake is to dry the excrement of people or animals, add medicinal powder to remove the smell, and press it into a round cake with a mold.
In the lonely city of the Great Wilderness, there are six houses dedicated to drying dung. This kind of house has a tin roof that can be opened and closed to let the sun shine in.
Raw materials are piled up in the dung drying room without deodorization, so the surrounding smell is extremely strong. Except for the craftsmen who make dung cakes, no one is willing to come near it.
Zheng Qiu and the others ran to the nearest dung drying room, grabbed their clothes, covered their nose and mouth, and squatted in the corner.
"Ahem, vomit..." Ma Peng retched a few times, took out the water bag from his collar, opened the lid on it, and Zheng Qiu took out the iron pot and handed it to Ma Peng.
He still didn't forget to remind Ma Peng: "Hold back and don't vomit, and don't spill the water."
Ma Peng nodded, and carefully tilted the iron pot, precious clear water flowed out of it, gathered into thin water lines and poured into the bag.
The eared cat stood in front of the main entrance of the dung drying room, looking around vigilantly to see if anyone was approaching.
After a while, both iron pots were emptied, Marpen closed the lid of the water bladder, and carefully stuffed it back into his clothes.
"Okay, let's go!" Ma Peng fastened his clothes and called Zheng Qiu to leave with Ermao.
Zheng Qiu looked at the empty tin pots thrown on the ground, thought for a while to pick one up, grabbed some dried dung from the dung drying room, and put it into it. Then he hid the iron pot in his clothes and quickly followed Ma Peng.
However, Zheng Qiu and the others didn't know that there was a man squatting on the top of a stone house not far from the dung drying room.
This man was wearing a gray-yellow robe, and his head was tightly wrapped in a gray cloth. He had watched Ma Peng and Zheng Qiu pour water into the water bag just now.
Seeing Zheng Qiu and the others leave, the people on the roof also stood up. Following his movements, the bright red word "Ling" was revealed on his clothes. This is the commander.
The commander looked in the direction where Zheng Qiu and the others were leaving, turned around and jumped into the opposite street, disappearing among the scattered stone houses.
The three children walked towards the hiding place on the city wall, discussing with each other all the way.
The ear cat danced and told his companion what he saw: "I climbed up to the wall to watch, and the fight was really intense, whistling, colorful."
Zheng Qiu added what he saw: "You guys didn't get close, it's really disgusting, there are people lying everywhere on the ground, it's never been like this before."
