Chapter 72: Hercules

"Let's hurry up and fetch water and boil water! They are all thirsty! Shen raised his eyes and looked at Tao Fifteen.

"The water wheel was shattered by my light touch. How to fetch water, I'll go down. Tao Qini gestured with both hands at the mouth of the well and said.

The three of the Tao family looked at her in astonishment, and then burst out laughing, "Haha......"

"What are you laughing at?" Tao Qini looked at them and smiled inexplicably.

"What a stupid boy, this well has no wheels, and you can also use a rope to tie a wooden bucket down to draw water, where is the need for you to go down yourself!" Shen said as he took the wooden barrel and thumb thick hemp rope from the wheelbarrow and tied the rope to the wooden barrel.

"I'm coming!" Tao 15 walked to the well with a bucket and a hemp rope, and went down the bucket.

"Are you careful? I don't know how deep the water is. Shen looked at him and carefully admonished, "Don't break the bucket." ”

"Yes." Tao Fifteen carefully lowered the bucket, "The water is quite deep." He shook the hemp rope in his hand, filled the bucket with water, pulled the rope with his left and right hands, and lifted the bucket up.

"Wow...... The water looks pretty clear. Tao Liuyi looked at the clear and spiritual waterway in the wooden barrel, and looked at Shen Shi Dao eagerly, "Mother, mother, come over with a bowl, let me drink first, I'm dying of thirst." ”

"No, the water has to boil." Hearing this, Shen came over holding the jug and said.

"Mother, this water is boiling and drying in the cold, it's been a long time, I can't wait." Tao Liuyi looked at Shen and smiled coquettishly.

"That's not going to work, it's not bad if there's water for a while." Shen placed the clay pot on the ground, carried the wooden bucket and poured water into it, and placed it on the simple stove with three stone barriers.

"Oops! Tweeted. Tao Qini watched as the chirping eagle talon clung tightly to the edge of the barrel, and saw that her head was about to be buried in the barrel.

Tao Qini made a decisive move, grabbed its wings with both hands, and carried it away from the barrel.

As a result, Jiu Jiu was very unhappy and kept struggling in her hands.

"Don't move!" Tao Qini's soothing cheek rubbed against its head, and sure enough, it quieted down.

"Brother, pour some water from my wooden bowl and tweet." Tao Qini raised her eyes and looked at Tao Liuyi and hurriedly said, this little guy in front of him couldn't be quiet for a few minutes.

"Your wooden bowl was given to Jiujiu, so what do you do?" Shen looked at her and asked with concern.

"It's easy, I'm carving one." Tao Qini said lightly with a smile on her face, and then urged, "Hurry up, look at Jiujiu's impatient look, I can't wait." ”

Shen quickly took the wooden bowl from the wheelbarrow, filled it with water, and placed it on the laid straw mat.

"Go ahead!" As soon as Tao Qini let go of the chirp, it couldn't wait to fly over, plunged into the bowl, and drank happily.

"Mother, you see that Jiu Jiu drank it directly." Tao Liu's eyes looked at the barrel and said, "I can do it too." ”

"No, if you don't boil, if you drink it and your stomach hurts, you can't save it without Lang Zhong and herbal medicine." Shen Shi's dark and shiny eyes looked at him and said resolutely.

"Let's go see if there's a water tank here? What if the water runs out all at once? Tao fifteen looked directly at the well and changed the subject.

Tao Qini's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded busily, "Mmmm! As he spoke, he lit a torch and walked towards the nearest house.

"Can you find the water tank?" Yao Changsheng chased after him and said worriedly.

"The well is not available in every household, the water tank can be said to be necessary, and the escapees will definitely not carry it, it is too heavy." Tao Fifteen followed him and said as he walked.

Tao Qini pushed open the door and entered the bare courtyard, which was very desolate.

Tao Fifteen said behind her, "Don't look at it, go to the kitchen and take a look." He walked straight to the kitchen.

Tao Qini hurriedly followed him, standing at the door of the kitchen, both the stove and the ground were covered with thick ash, "There are not even spiders in this drought." ”

"There's a water tank!" Tao 15 walked inside and took down the lid curtain on the water tank.

The water tank is waist-high as an adult, and one person can completely hug it.

"Let's go, carry out." Tao fifteen looked back at them and said as he rolled up his sleeves.

"Brother, take the torch." Tao Qini shoved the torch into his hand.

"What are you doing for me? What about the water tank? Tao Liu raised his torch and looked at her and said.

"No, I'll carry it out by myself." Tao Qini walked straight to the front of the water tank.

"Nier, what did you say?" Tao fifteen blinked at her and said in confusion, and said sternly, "Don't mess around!" ”

"I'm not messing around." Tao Qini grabbed the edge of the cylinder with both hands, grabbed it with all her might, and carried it on her shoulders easily, "Hurry up, don't get in the way." ”

In the dumbfounded eyes of the three of them, they watched her go out with the water tank.

"This kid, don't say a word." Tao 15 stomped his feet and chased out, and saw that the person had already left the yard, "Don't hurt yourself." ”

Shen, who was boiling water, heard the movement behind him and looked back, and saw a thin girl, carrying a jar bigger than her.

"You...... You ......" Shen stammered as he looked at her and stammered, looking at Tao Shifu Dao who was chasing after her, "You are a father, how can you let her carry the water tank alone!" ”

"You think I'd like to! Before I could react, our Nier came out with the tank. Tao Fifteen looked helplessly at Tao Qini, who placed the water tank next to the well.

"Hurry, hurry, wash the tank and pour water." Tao Qini carried a wooden bucket and poured the remaining water into the tank, which is not very reassuring to exist in the well, but it is better to have a water tank!

"Freshly tied with a broom, a broom from a wheelbarrow." Shen's index finger pointed to the wheelbarrow lane, "That's clean." ”

Tao Qini took a broom the length of her little hand and arm from the wheelbarrow.

"I'll tilt the cylinder, Dad, you'll brush it." Tao Qini looked at the water tank, handed the broom in her hand to Tao Fifteen, and tilted the water tank.

"Good, good! I'm coming. Tao fifteen brushed the inside of the jar well, because it has been covered with a curtain, so the jar is really not too dirty.

After washing the tank, Tao Liuyi took the wooden bucket and filled the tank with water.

"Whew! Now there is enough water for us to drink. Tao Liuyi put down the wooden bucket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Is there still water in the well?" Tao Fifteen looked at him and asked.

"I can't see this darkness, I don't know." Tao Liuyi looked at them and shook his head slightly, looking at the water tank and said, "It would be good if we could bring the tank with us, so that we can fill it with more water." He smiled and said, "I'll just think about it, it's impossible." ”

Tao Qini took advantage of the fact that while they were carrying water, she carved another bowl for herself with a black knife. Compared with the first time, the hands are not only much more proficient, but also look much better. It's not in vain that she has nothing to do these days to play with wood.
