Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Holy Mother, Does Not Exist
Beijing.

Everyone was in danger, and the officers and soldiers searched house by house.

Just because we are catching bandits everywhere now.

In the palace, Emperor Xiao Junmo had a gloomy and dark face, and Xiao Qingzhi was crying and being carried into the palace regardless of her injuries.

"Brother, you must catch that little thief. He almost robbed my princess's mansion of all its money and valuables."

If Xiao Junmo didn't have to uphold the majesty of the emperor, he would have wanted to cry, because not only his original private property, but even the money he had just received from those wealthy businessmen had disappeared.

It’s tens of millions of silver, I feel so sad.

Outside the palace, those powerful and wealthy families who had often done immoral things also looked at the empty places where they stored their valuables and gold and silver, and silently shed tears.

"Damned thief, don't let me catch you, or I will torture you to death by pulling out your tendons and slicing you to pieces."

The bandits they were targeting were storing large amounts of water in the space.

Gu Hua also revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, the fact that there might be a water shortage on the road ahead. As for what others would do, he had no control over it.

Those who listened to the advice stored more water and hung it on their bodies every day. Those who did not listen to the advice waited until the following days, and if they could not find water for two or three days, they would be thirsty.

The further southwest you go, the drier the weather becomes.

It was originally the harvest season, but the crops in the fields had already dried up and turned to ashes. People were miserable everywhere, and desolate fields could be seen everywhere.

Mu Feng and Mu Xue, who were following behind, were also trying their best to collect various supplies needed on the road.

Gu Hua and his companions passed by a county town under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Prefecture. They heard that the local government officials were in collusion with grain merchants. Not only did they not distribute grain to the people, they also resold the grain in the warehouse to the grain merchants and then sold it at a high price.

After Gu Hua and his exile team left Jinzhou, the grain stored in the government granaries and some local grain merchants' warehouses disappeared, and some people in the surrounding areas had no food to eat.

But after sleeping for a night, he found a bag of food at the door of his house.

Gu Hua, who did good deeds and kept his merits hidden, also had a lot of reserve food in his space.

During the first exile, the team did not encounter any water source for two days.

Those who heard the news from Gu Hua could still hold on, but those who thought the news of water shortage was nonsense were now asking for water with dry lips, feeling extremely distressed and full of regret.

Shen Hongwei approached Gu Hua with a look of relief on her face, and lowered her voice: "This time, thanks to Sister Gu's reminder, otherwise our family would have died of thirst."

The Chen family members walking beside them, except for the Ye family who were confused, Uncle Chen and Chen Ling and his wife were still very grateful for the water that Gu Hua gave them.

After all, the father and son were taken out from the yamen on duty at that time without any preparation. In addition, the mistress of the house, Mrs. Ye, had no foresight. Apart from hiding some silver, she did not take much other things with her.

Apart from some spare clothes, they didn't even bring a water bag, which shows how lacking common sense the mother and her two children were.

Or maybe I was just short-sighted and didn't even think of bringing these things.

Some careful people noticed that although they didn't see how Gu Hua drank water, they could still tell from clues that their lips were moist, so they should not be short of water.

"Please, look, the child is almost coughing to death, please be kind and give him some water to drink." Someone immediately ran over, pulling the child at home, knelt down and begged for some water to be given to them.

Uncle Chen, Gu Chen, the Shen family... were all shocked by this scene and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Gu Hua felt that he had fulfilled his duty of reminder, and even Wang Geng and other yamen runners made a decision to be prepared after receiving the news. Unfortunately, some people will not give up until they reach the Yellow River, and will not turn back until they hit the south wall.

"You usually take the easy way out, as if filling your water bag with water will tire you to death. You also think of yourself as a master, young master, lady, or young lady. Now you know you are thirsty and come to ask for help. What were you doing before?"

Shen Hongwei curled her lips, slung her water bag over her shoulder, and spoke straightforwardly.

Water itself is heavy, and you have to travel such a long time every day. Why should someone carry it all the way and finally give it to you to drink? How shameless do you have to be to say this?

"How can you be so cruel? Don't you see that my child is dying of thirst? Can't you be a little kinder?!"

"No." Gu Hua: "And I don't have that obligation."

"You, you, you..." The Shan family still wanted to make trouble, but when they saw the Dagui brother coming over with a stick, they left angrily.

"You are so mean-spirited. You are unwilling to share your water with others. You are so selfish..."

Gu Hua took what the Shan family said as a compliment to herself. She is black-hearted, selfish and proud.

"Mother, they are unreasonable bad people." The eldest brother said with a stern face and displeasure in his eyes despite his young age, "We don't owe them anything, so do we have to give them whatever they want?!"

Kang Kang puffed up his cheeks and said, "Big brother is right. We won't give them any."

"No, no." Huanhuan and Lele, the little followers of their two older brothers, responded.

Gu Hua touched their heads and said, "Okay, I won't give it to you."

"Mom, can I eat dried meat?" The fourth child Lele said in a low voice.

Gu Hua gave Xia He, Chun Lan and the others a look, then whispered a few words in their ears. The four children happily followed them.

Just after coaxing the little guys away, Gu Hua heard a not-so-welcome voice.

"Haha, there's something interesting to watch." Chen Ze looked like he deserved a beating, and said rudely, "I just came back from there, but I heard that group of people from the Shan family spread the news everywhere. You brought a lot of water, but you are so mean and rotten that you didn't share it with everyone."

"You little brat, I think you're asking for a beating."

Uncle Chen was about to pick up a wooden stick from the mule cart, but Gu Hua reached out to stop him. His simple words made Chen Ze, who wanted to watch the show, show a flash of regret on his face.

"Don't forget that if my water is taken away by others, you will have to be thirsty for me tomorrow like everyone else."

"Oh, that's bad." Chen Ze was frustrated: "I forgot about this."

"I thought you didn't need to drink water." Chen Ling retorted to his unreliable second brother.

Sure enough, not long after, seven or eight strong men from the exile team came over to block Gu Hua and the others.

"I heard you have some water, share it with everyone."

Gu Hua didn't speak immediately.

Gu Chen and Chen Ling, Dagui and Ergui, as well as the Shen family members who were resting not far away, all came over.

What Gu Hua didn't expect was that the man whose chicken leg was pulled by the Wang family's child that day also came over with a few men who looked very scholarly, as if they would help Gu Hua as long as he asked for help.
