Chapter 384: Sulfur-Smelling Water
readx;?“ Water. "The old man came back after a long time, carrying a few coconuts and some things that he couldn't tell what they were, and put them all in front www.biquge.info of the three of them.
"Is this a coconut??" Su Yao picked up one of them, he was very curious, he hadn't seen coconut trees growing on the beach before, but now he would actually see them.
"No, it's just a coconut shell filled with water, and the coconut trees here went extinct four years ago." The old man had a straight face, as if he had encountered something unhappy.
Su Yao didn't continue to ask when he saw him like this, and silently pried open the piston on the top and drank it himself.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he choked on the smell of sulfur, and the liquid he drank into his mouth was also sprayed out directly.
"Poofha, what is this, it's so undrinkable, I can't drink it!!" Looking at the coconut shell in his hand very depressed, Su Yao also wondered if he had a wrong sense of taste, stretched out his head and sniffed it at the entrance of the cave again, and sure enough, a bad smell of sulfur spread in his nasal cavity. This old man didn't do it on purpose, if he gave them all this water, he would die sooner or later. After making sure that he was not wrong, Su Yao immediately looked at the old man on the side with suspicion, and Su and Hua Hong were very rational and put down the coconut in their hands. Seeing Su Yao choke on drinking like this, he didn't have the courage to try again.
"This is the only water you can drink here, and you can't drink it if you want to, don't waste it on me." The old man looked at Su Yao gloomily.
"This is hot spring water from the volcano, right??" Su dipped the liquid in the coconut on one side, put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it, sure enough, it was very smelly.
"Yes, there is no other water source in this village, so we can only use this water to make up for it." The old man took one himself, raised his head and drank it, and Su Yao, who was watching it, was dumbfounded.
"Strange." It's so forested, how can there be no other water source? Sue looked at the coconut in her hand. He hesitated, but he couldn't help but be too thirsty, so he pinched his nose and poured a big mouthful of water into the old man. Although he drank it reluctantly, he still retched for a while in the corner of the wall on the side, but fortunately his stomach was empty and he didn't vomit anything.
Hua Bonus originally wanted to try hard, but when she saw Su Du like this, she still didn't put her mouth down in the end, and silently put the coconut in her hand in the corner of the wall, out of sight, isn't it.
"Tut-tut, what are the people here drinking?" Su Yao saw that the old man still didn't change his face after drinking so much water, and couldn't help but think silently in his heart.
"If there is no water in the village, no one will go to the central town to report it? This territory is also under the jurisdiction of Bing Ji, right? "Although that woman is fierce, she is still very gentle with the rule of the people, right, why would she let this side go? Su immediately brought up the doubts in his heart.
"Don't think about it, it's not that we don't go, even if we go, Lord Bing Ji won't care." The old man seemed to have a little grievance when he said of Bing Ji, "It's not that no one has ever gone before, but it is generally in vain, and the people in the village still continue to drink this water." ”
"That..." Su wanted to continue to say something, but the old man opened the door by himself, "There is still some dried meat here, I will go down to make a fire and roast it, and call you when it is cooked." ”
“。。。” Seeing the old man disappear at the door, Su's second half of the sentence was swallowed back.
"Isn't that weird? Bing Ji, that guy doesn't care about this side of things, it stands to reason that this guy should be treated equally. Why is this happening, I haven't really heard anyone complain about her before. ”
"The hell knows, hasn't this woman been convulsing lately?? And judging from the tone of the old man's voice, it doesn't seem to be complaining about her, right? At most, it's a little helpless, after all, this is just a small mountain village, and a place as big as a central town is enough to keep her busy, so she won't bother with this little thing here. Su Yao picked up the coconut and took a small sip, it was really unpleasant. Thanks to that old man, he can still pour it into his stomach without changing his face, and if he drinks this water for a long time, he will have problems sooner or later.
"Yaojun, do you think they are too pitiful??" Bonus asked tentatively.
"What? You don't want to ask me to help them, do you?? Su Yao heard that his tone was wrong, and goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body.
"Hey." Indeed, there is nothing they can do.
At this time, it would be nice if Dark One and Dark Zero were here, and a vigorous artificial rain would more or less make them drink some normal water.
"Don't think about it, spend this night peacefully, there are so many things in this world, we can't control it." Su also stood up, "I'd better go down and have a look, I'm starving." Finish your meal early and go to bed. ”
"Okay, wait for me." Su Yao was not far behind and stood up, it was already half dark outside, and there was almost no furniture in the room. The three of them immediately gathered around the fire below.
The barbecue was set up by the old man on the fire, and half of it was cooked, and oil was bubbling outside.
"Is this a roast lamb?" Su Yao smelled a smell that was not very familiar, seeing that his family had raised so many sheep, he could only reach seven or eight points.
"Hmm. There is nothing to eat but livestock. The old man said as he sprinkled all sorts of seasonings on it.
"Well, old man, have you ever been to the central town??" Sue continued to probe on the side.
"I went there a few years ago, but I forgot the road." The old man did not give the answer they were expecting. "If you want to go, you can ask the rest of the village yourself, but I don't know if I will tell you."
"Cut. He told us not to wander around. "Su Yao has a lot of opinions about him.
"Uncle, you have a good hand of meat."
Finally waited until the meat was cooked, Su Yao immediately took it and ate it in a big gulp, hunger is really a magical feeling, and the food that he usually doesn't feel much becomes extremely delicious as soon as he reaches his mouth.
"It's okay." The old man's expression was not so serious, and the other voices outside seemed small except for the voices of a few people.
Unable to find other topics, Su Yao had no choice but to lower his head and silently start eating.
"Whew!" Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted the silence, followed by a pungent smell and a strange red glow in the sky.
