8. Good stuff
The two of them carried the water back to the rear of the Qin army, and it was already afternoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The veteran in charge of supervision really pulled a long face, and his face was clouded, and he looked like he was going to trouble them.
The monkey is not necessarily a soldier. How lively he was when he was outside, and how he trembled when he saw this military man, he couldn't say a word at all. When Xia Yun first saw this situation, he quickly put down the wooden barrel in his hand, and hurriedly gasped, "Before, the military master didn't ask us to find clean water. I searched for a long time today, and I finally found it. It took some time, but I don't have to drink that stinky water anymore. ā
Just as Xia Yunchu thought, the hunchbacked veteran was very surprised when he saw the water in their bucket, and praised them greatly.
This veteran has more knowledge than the monkey, and he understands that whether the water source is clean or not will have a great impact. If it weren't for the fact that no one had been looking for clean water in the previous life, they wouldn't have drunk that smelly water all the time.
After the two passed the hunchbacked middle-aged veteran, they hurriedly passed the water in the bucket to the big water tank.
Before pouring the water, Xia Yunchu tiptoed to look at the situation inside the water tank, and found that there was still a thin layer of blood water in the water tank, so he stretched out his hand to stop the monkey and said, "Wait and see." There's still that stinky water in this tank. Pour the tank clean, wash it again, and then change the water into it. Otherwise, if the clean water source we found with great difficulty is mixed together, won't we be blind? ā
After receiving the veteran's praise just now, the monkey was already a little convinced of Xia Yunchu. At this time, when I heard her say this, I didn't refute it, just nodded, and put down the wood and fiddled with the water tank with Xia Yunchu.
But the big tank was taller than both of them, and even if they worked together, they couldn't tip the tank over.
Fortunately, the people who were doing chores next to them had already heard the conversation here. They were also tired of drinking stinky water for a long time, and when they saw that the two little babies wanted to pour the water tank clean, they all put down their things and ran over to help.
When Xia Yun first saw it, he suddenly became happy.
She was also afraid that she and the monkeys would not be able to fill the water tank, and that she would waste too much time to wash the water tank. At this time, someone else came over and asked them about this work.
Those people naturally agreed, and happily praised Xia Yunchu and the monkey again.
Xia Yun saw that those people were very friendly, so he boldly handed over one of the buckets of water and said, "Aunts and uncles, I have been looking for water sources outside, and I have walked a long way, but now I am thirsty. I wonder if you can boil me a bowl of water to drink first?"
Where is this big deal.
Those people even said that Xia Yunchu had worked hard, and said that it was appropriate to drink saliva. Then a woman took the bucket and stepped aside to boil the water.
Xia Yunchu was really thirsty.
She did not dare to drink water for two days in a row, but went to the back of the tent to pluck a few leaves and chew them. After the water bowl was served, she didn't care about the heat, so she poured the water directly, and it was so hot that her tears came out directly.
The people around her couldn't help but laugh when they saw her so anxious.
Xia Yun also felt a little shy when he saw that he was being laughed at by someone for the first time, and hurriedly poured a bowl of water, feeling that his throat was comfortable for a while, and finally put down the big porcelain water bowl, picked up the bucket at hand, and ran outside with the monkey.
She hadn't drunk water for two days before, but when she finally drank two large bowls, she felt much more relaxed.
With such a little progress, even the monkey felt excited.
The two of them had to spend the whole day carrying water from the water tank, but at this time, perhaps because of excitement, they ran back and forth carrying the bucket, and they didn't feel too tired. After running like this for a long time, I even filled most of the water tank.
In the evening, when the man sat down on the ground, he did not want to get up again.
Xia Yunchu held his trembling knees, panting and fanning the wind with his hand near his neck, hoping to get cooler quickly.
She never thought she would work so hard in such a place.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow...... Huh...... Absolutely not...... It must not be like this again. ā
The monkey also sat down to the side, panting for breath, looking difficult.
Xia Yunchu didn't have the heart to turn his head to look at him, so he only said a soft "um" between his noses, which was regarded as a promise. Her own throat was also very hot at this time, as if something was sticking to it, and between swallowing, it seemed that the smell of blood was coming up.
She knew that it was because she was so tired, so a natural reaction from her body was not really injured, so she just sat quietly and rested.
The two of them are just children after all, and they are so violently active that they can fill most of the water tank in half a day, but they can only do it occasionally. If they toss like this every day, they will soon be tired and bloody.
Fortunately, I found a water source today, so I won't have to worry so much in the future. Even if that water source runs dry, you should be able to find water by digging one more layer in the same place.
By this time, it was time to eat, but the two of them were so tired that they could not breathe, and they only felt weak and had no desire to eat.
The monkey could still struggle to get up to get the steamed buns, but Xia Yunchu really didn't have the strength, so he just wanted to lie on the ground and never get up again.
But she wanted to lie down, but someone was not as good as she wanted.
She had only been sitting down for a while when she saw the middle-aged veteran limping towards her. The old soldier was originally a very hunchbacked, as if he had a big iron pot on his back, and at this time, he looked as if he was about to fall, and his appearance was very ridiculous.
But none of the people around him who were doing odd jobs smiled. When they saw the old soldier walking by, they all gave up their places and greeted him with great respect. Come to think of it, this veteran is very prestigious in the back.
The veteran nodded in agreement with the greetings around him as he looked around. The expression on his face was originally very serious, but when he saw Xia Yunchu, he grinned, beckoned to Xia Yunchu, and said, "Boy, come here." ā
Xia Yunchu was so tired that he didn't want to move at all, his feet were as soft as noodles, and he almost couldn't stand up.
But in this rear formation, the veterans who manage them are like gods, and if they don't listen to the veterans, they may be thrown out of the battlefield to fend for themselves in the next moment.
Xia Yunchu had no choice but to barely hold on to his knees and get up, and slowly walked in front of the veteran.
It was the first time she had seen the veteran in earnest. The veteran was already a middle-aged man, but because his back was really bent, he was only about the same height as Xia Yunchu when he stood up.
The veteran smiled again, didn't mind Xia Yunchu's straightforward gaze, and said, "Don't be impatient, I'm here this time, but I'm here to bring you something good." ā
