"Oh my god, water! So much water!"
Everyone went wild. They threw off their packs and rushed to the lake's edge in a single wave, greedily scooping up the water and drinking nonstop.
"This place is amazing!" Gu Sanbu said, wiping the water from the corner of his mouth contentedly. "If our hometown had a lake like this, we wouldn't have had to abandon our homes and livelihoods to live such an inhuman life on the road."
Gu Shulin said, "Dad, look! There are mountains and water here. Why don't we just settle down here?"
Gu Sanbu's expression stiffened, but he shook his head. "We'll wait for the drought to pass. We have to go back to our hometown. That's where our roots are."
"But you said before that if the Holy Emperor helped us get settled, we could try to make our new home near Shangjing."
