当下李逵背娘到岭下,天色已晚了。娘双眼不明,不知早晚。李逵却自认得,这条岭唤做沂岭。过那边去,方才有人家。娘儿两个趁着星明月朗,一步步捱上岭来。娘在背上说道:“我儿,那里讨口水来我吃也好。”李逵道:“老娘,且待过岭去,借了人家安歇了,做些饭吃。”娘道:“我日中吃了些干饭,口渴的当不得。”李逵道:“我喉咙里也烟发火出。你且等我背你到岭上,寻水与你吃。”娘道:“我儿,端的渴杀我也!救我一救!”李逵道:“我也困倦的要不得!”李逵看看捱得到岭上,松树边一块大青石上,把娘放下,插了朴刀在侧边,分付娘道:“奈心坐一坐,我去寻水来你吃。”李逵听得溪涧里水响,闻声寻将去,扒过了两三处山脚,到得那涧边看时,一溪好水。怎见得?有诗为证:
