6. Dig water
Another chaotic night's dreams. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as the first rays of sunlight emerged from the ground, someone had already come and kicked them all awake.
"I got up. There are as many things to be busy as the mountains today, so why don't you get up and do it quickly. ā
Xia Yunchu twisted her sore neck, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that the monkey was still shrunk on her shoulder, and her saliva was about to flow out of her sleep.
She didn't have a brother in the modern era, but she had a cousin who had a good relationship. At this time, when he saw the monkey like this, he felt a little kind, so he stretched out his hand to push the monkey awake, and whispered, "Get up quickly, it's getting dawn." ā
The monkey woke up with a mouth full of muttering, his eyes still squinting, and he didn't know what he was complaining about.
When they wake up in the morning, they have nothing to eat, let alone water to wash their faces and mouths.
The water on this battlefield is already very rare, and it is not their turn to use it so luxuriously. However, even if they were able to use water at will, Xia Yunchu would never be willing to wash his face with those smelly blood water.
She and the monkey are still in charge of carrying water today.
After getting there, Xia Yunchu was still a little distracted.
She was trying to figure out what she had dreamed about last night, and if it had anything to do with today's battle. Because she always felt as if she had dreamed of Li Shun. But no matter how hard she tried to think about it, she still couldn't recall last night's dream. This uncomfortable feeling made Xia Yunchu frown for a while.
The monkey saw Xia Yunchu alone beside her, so he leaned in front of her and looked at her carefully.
As soon as Xia Yunchu looked up, he saw the monkey's completely close face, and he almost fell to the ground in fright. She still remembered that she was dressed as a kid now, so she quickly forced a smile, quickly put away the surprise on her face, and whispered, "Why did you suddenly come over so that you scared me." ā
"I've been stunned by you. How can you be so bold when facing the military master, but when you change outside, you suddenly become timid. The monkey didn't care about Xia Yunchu's reaction, and even showed a look of laughter on her face.
"No, no, no. I just thought...... Can you find cleaner water around here? Xia Yunchu also immediately covered up his emotions.
Water.
At the mention of this, the monkey's face was immediately covered with a layer of gray, and even his original lively expression was dimmed.
He also knew that the water he picked up now was not a good thing at all. If it were still the peaceful era of the past, there would be no way that anyone would want to drink such stinky water mixed with blood. But now on this battlefield, isn't there no way? This place is already desolate, plus those corpses that have not had time to clean up, the whole environment is that desolate, no matter how much they toss, they can only find those blood water.
The monkey wanted to persuade Xia Yunchu not to bother doing any more useless work, but when he turned his head and saw the focused look on Xia Yunchu's face, he felt as if he shouldn't disturb Xia Yunchu.
On this battlefield, desolation is desolation, but there are also many things that are readily available. The broken spear handles were unkept, and were scattered around in a mess, lying in all directions.
In order to avoid the plague, those in the rear of the battlefield were always very diligent in cleaning up the corpses, but they did not pay much attention to other things.
Xia Yunchu easily found a handy wooden stick around, walked all the way along the smelly riverbed, and dug it up at a bend where there was water. The place where she had dug the pit was still a little distance from the riverbed, and even if she dug it, it might not necessarily come out.
The monkey kept seeing this time, so he ran to Xia Yunchu's side and asked curiously, "Little Xiazi, what are you doing here?"
"Look for water. ā
Xia Yunchu gritted his teeth and replied.
Her body is young and weak, and she is really not suitable for doing these heavy physical work, and before she digs twice, she already feels out of breath and a little black in front of her eyes. Fortunately, this body seems to have been doing farm work before, and there is a thin layer of calluses on her hands, so that her skin will not be worn out like this.
"Can you find water?" the monkey wondered, "I've seen a well dug at home." But when digging a well, you have to choose a special place, and you can't dig water so casually. You...... We...... Don't waste your efforts, right?"
In the monkey's opinion, whether or not they can find clean water is not what they should do at all.
The job they were assigned was just to carry water. There is good water, of course, they choose it and pick it back, but now that there is a visa-free and turbid one, they can only directly lift that kind of water to the back of the meeting. With such an explanation, it is done, and it doesn't take much effort at all.
Xia Yunchu shook his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and continued to dig silently.
The monkey had no choice, he couldn't leave Xia Yunchu here alone, so he could only swing the wooden barrel and squat next to watch Xia Yunchu dig. He didn't help either, thinking that Xia Yunchu was just messing around, and when he got tired of moving, Xia Yunchu would naturally give up.
How did he know that Xia Yunchu was really digging for water.
The monkey felt that as long as he did his own thing, he would not be scolded when he turned back, but Xia Yunchu thought more.
They were eating and drinking all the water themselves, and even if it took a little more effort to find a clean water source, at least she would be able to reduce her chance of getting sick. It's not that she has a habit of cleanliness, it's really those muddy blood and water, and she doesn't dare to touch it at all.
The monkey squatted to the side boredly, watching Xia Yunchu dig hard.
By this time, it was already dawning and the temperature was rising. After digging for a while, fine sweat was already oozing from Xia Yunchu's face and forehead, flowing down her somewhat sunken cheeks. She just looked down at the ground until the sweat dripped down her chin and then she suddenly came to her senses and reached out to wipe her face rudely.
"Hey, I said Xiao Xiazi, let's hurry up and fetch water and go back. If you drag it out like this, you will be scolded when you go back. We're going to have to fill a whole bucket of water. If you don't go back, it's too late. ā
The monkey looked at Xia Yunchu's sweaty appearance, and couldn't help but say hello again.
Xia Yunchu's eyes became brighter and brighter, he turned his head to look at the monkey, and said in a dumb voice, "I think I'm about to dig out the water." You see, the mud on the ground is already wet. ā
The monkey stretched out his head to take a look, and found that the bottom of the hole in front of Xia Yunchu was indeed a little wet. However, he turned his head left and right to look at the soil underneath, and he couldn't tell whether it was the soil that was wet, or Xia Yunchu's sweat fell down and soaked the soil.
