Zhao's hands shook, and the child's eyes suddenly became scary.

Xiaoyong's eyes were shining, and his Adam's apple like a lump of clay kept moving, "Water, water..." He really wanted to drink it.

Su Buying took the water bag, bent down and handed it to Xiao Yong, "Drink it. After you drink it, take us to the underground to see where you usually work and rest, and this kind of straw mushroom."

Xiaoyong rushed over impatiently, grabbed the water bag and poured it down.

"Gudonggudong"

Xiao Yong drank very fast, but not a drop of water came out, "Ah... thank you, thank you, sir." His voice was no longer hoarse, and his tone could not hide his joy.

Xiaoyong licked the water stains around his mouth with his tongue, smiled, showing his white teeth, "Where the untouchables work..."

Su Buying glanced at it lightly, Aniang and the others didn't like to hear the word "untouchable", and it was the same.

Xiao Yong is very good at looking at people's eyes, and since he just drank someone else's water, he now respects Su Bujing and others even more.

That's water!

You know, here, water is more precious than food!

Even if he didn't understand the daily life of those nobles, he had never heard of anyone giving water to untouchables whom he had never met.

Just for this reason, the people in front of him must be even more powerful than the Chengzhou Shepherds!

"...The adults can wear less clothes. It's still very hot underground. Very few nobles I've seen wear two pieces."

Xiao Yong said sincerely: "Your white and tender skin is your best pass underground." Because only nobles who do not give birth can maintain the same skin color as before the drought.

When Su Bujing and others heard this, they couldn't help but raise their hands. The backs of their hands turned a very unhealthy white color, with thin blue-green blood vessels hidden underneath. The back of the hand is white and reflective, and the blood vessels glow a little under the sunlight.

So, from the beginning, Xiaoyong relied on their skin to identify them as people with "identity"?

Su Bujing and others did not expose this self-defeating situation.

This little boy secretly reminded them of the advantage of their skin color. He probably knew that they were not "underground aristocrats" and everyone was pretending to be confused.

Su Buyi nodded secretly, he was indeed a flexible person.

Since they knew that wearing extra clothes was a burden, the family did not show any pretense. They took off the clothes on their faces and hugged Su Buwei very much.

Without the protection of clothes, the pale skin was exposed to the sun. After a while, everyone's arms turned red.

Su Bujing frowned slightly. The sunlight was too exciting. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Yong who was entranced. I don’t know how they endured it.

Xiao Yong's eyes stared uncontrollably at the arms of Su Bujing and others. Where did these people come from? With such white skin, I'm afraid even Master Zhou Mu's daughter is not that white!

He would never have imagined that the people in the north were all of this color. After all, people who had not seen the light for a long time would be several degrees lighter as long as they were not born with dark skin.

It's just that few people from the north can go to the south. Even if they can go to the south, they will be driven crazy if they can't go deep because of the scorching heat, lack of water and no one.

"Hey," Su Bujing said to Xiaoyong, "Don't you feel any pain from the sun?"

Xiao Yong came back to his senses and turned his eyes to the toes of Su Bujing and others with a guilty conscience, "Slowly I got used to it..." I hope these adults won't hate him for being presumptuous.

"By the way, you can eat straw mushrooms. Eating straw mushrooms can relieve thirst, but it will feel like there is no water in it. It's like... you won't go crazy with thirst after eating it. Eating it for a long time can also enhance the body's response to sunlight. Defense, every time we go out to collect straw mushrooms, we will eat some secretly, otherwise we will have no energy digging."

Xiaoyong scratched his head honestly and held the straw mushrooms in his pocket in front of Su Bujing, "Sir, do you want to try them?"

He could see that although the six people in front of him were older and younger, the younger one was obviously in charge, and age and gender became her protective umbrella. Su Bujing twisted one out of curiosity. It looked like straw, and it was the driest and driest type.

"Eating it raw like this?"

Xiao Yong nodded, pinched one and put it in his mouth, "Yeah, eat it like this."

Su Buyi on the side saw Xiao Yong's actions and nodded secretly again. Before they could suspect, he took the lead in eating it to show his sister, which would prove that he was not lying and that straw mushrooms were indeed safe.

Su Bujing also ate one and smacked his lips, well, this tastes really weird...

It's obviously dry to the point of falling into pieces, but after entering the throat, it feels very cool and moist. It's exactly what Xiao Yong said. Although it's not water, it can be used to quench thirst.

As for resisting the sun... I don’t feel that way for the time being.

Others also tasted a few and were all amazed.

"Where do you usually find these straw mushrooms?" If possible, they can collect them and take them away.

Straw mushrooms are as normal as air in the underground world. Everyone knows this common sense thing, but Xiao Yong replied without changing his face:

"They are everywhere, usually in clusters. As for where they are, there is no specific place."

Su Bujing nodded clearly. She had water and food, but she wasn't very keen on straw mushrooms. Since others needed them, she could just grab a few handfuls to try them out.

"Do you know which places here are not experiencing severe drought? I mean, normal places." Su Buyi inquired.

Xiao Yong lowered his head and kowtowed, "I'm sorry, Xiao Yong works every day and doesn't know this." However, if there really was such a place, they wouldn't run underground in despair. .

Su Buyi squinted her eyes and looked at her family.

Su Bujing was the first to react. She gestured silently, "Go underground and take a look."

Xiaoyong is just a child who is not taken seriously. Maybe other people underground can know the details of the south.

Let’s not talk about whether the entire south has become a wasteland. If not, they can find a way to Yong Kingdom.

Needless to say, the Su family could understand each other's feelings with just one look and made their decision immediately.

"When are you going to dig the ground? Can we go and have a look together?" Su Buwei stuck his head out and asked, and others also looked over.

Xiao Yong seemed a little distressed, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Underground, we are digging to the east. If you want to see it, you can't come with me. Nobles will not go with untouchables digging in the ground. As long as you show your skin , no one underground dares to stop you."

Because no one wants to be kicked out.

Underground, the three state shepherds have absolute power. Even if the emperor comes now, they will not recognize it.

Su Yuanshan frowned, "But we're not familiar with the underground, so just rushing in like that... wouldn't be good."

Having said this, Su Yuanshan paused and looked at Xiao Yong's expression without being noticed. Seeing his pious eyes and the ground where he knelt was wet with sweat, he continued:

"Let's do this. You go with us and say that you are our servant on the way. Let's not worry about whether we will get lost underground. If someone comes here without a good idea, you can help us explain a few words in secret."

Zhao added: "As long as you take us around the underground world, we will give you a certain reward."
