Chapter 86: Hope
Shen washed the pebbles with water, and when they dried, the eggs hit the pebbles, and the eggs were simmering...... It's like frying a poached egg.
"Did you notice, it seems to be getting hotter this day." Tao Qini's gaze shifted from the omelette to Tao Fifteen and them.
"Can it be called summer if it's not hot?" Tao 15 finished weaving straw sandals from local materials, and then knitted the bag, "Come on, come on, try this bag." He took the braided bag and looked at Tao Qini.
"So fast." Tao Qini put down the burning stick in her hand, walked over, took the bag from his hand, collapsed directly on her shoulder, patted the bag and said, "How is it?" It's easy to load things! ”
"It's like a schoolbag for students who go to the academy." Yao Changsheng looked up and down.
"I think it's still convenient to put things in front and back." Tao Liuyi looked at her and said honestly.
"We don't have that much cloth, and the blanket is not enough." Shen Shi looked at him and said with a smile when he heard this.
"What I want to say is, is this straw sturdy?" Tao Liuyi stared at Bao Dao without blinking.
"Brother, your straw sandals are made of the same reeds as this bag, do you think they are strong?" Tao Qini patted her bag and looked at the straw sandals on his feet.
"That's right!" Tao Liuyi smiled innocently and scratched his head.
"Alright, this pebble omelette is ready to eat." Shen took the wooden shovel made by his daughter and fried the eggs on both sides and put them in a bowl, one for each person.
"Why don't you see chirp." Tao Liuyi suddenly remembered while holding the bowl.
Tao Qini looked at him and said with a smile, "It doesn't know where to go to play at noon, and besides, it doesn't eat this omelette." ”
People who are hot at noon don't want to move, sit down and stay for a while, but they don't expect to touch the bird's eggs, so add a meal.
You don't even have to turn on the fire.
After eating the fried egg, Tao 15 continued to weave the bag, and Shen took the feather and sewed a feather fan with hemp rope.
Shen finished the last two stitches, and bit the hemp rope with his teeth, "Okay, look at this fan, can you?" ”
"Yes, yes!" Tao Qini nodded hurriedly, took the fan in her hand, shook it, and said that this fan really looked like Zhuge Liang's feather fan.
On such a hot day, all the fans come out of the hot air, and they can't cool down at all, so it's better than nothing!
Eat the omelette, pad the stomach, drink the cold and boiled, rest for a while, pack up and go on the road.

The sun overhead scorched the earth, and the reeds were as if they were burning, as if they were about to burn.
"I can't leave at noon today, we don't have much water." Shen walked over to them with a crockpot and said, "That's all there is to it." ”
Collect water once, use it for two or three days, and then stop to get water.
"It's okay, it's just collecting water." Tao Qini said simply and easily.
"It's so hot, I'm afraid that the drought will continue and I won't be able to hold it!" Yao Changsheng glanced up at the scorching sun above his head.
"You don't notice that this reed swing looks higher than it looked the other day." Tao Qini pointed to the reed road, stomped her feet and said, "The dampness in this soil has not only not decreased, but has become wetter. ”
"What do you mean?" Tao Liuyi looked at her with wide eyes when he heard this, and the speed of the fan in his hand slowed down.
"To put it simply, when we first arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, this soil tide, held down by hand, would be a little scattered. Now you guys go and try it. Tao Qini's bright eyes looked at them and said, "It's not loose at all." ”
"Really?" Tao Liuyi handed the feather fan to Tao Qini, then took the wooden shovel from the wheelbarrow and ran into the reeds.
Shook off his arms and shoveled a few shovels, squatted on the ground, and grabbed the wet soil, "Huh! He looked up at them in surprise and said, "Really! Excited, he ran back with a shovel, stretched out his palm, and said, "Look! ”
"What does that mean?" Tao fifteen looked at Yao Changsheng with light eyes and asked.
"This shows that if you keep going, the greater the hope of having water." Yao Changsheng said with joy on his face, and said even more happily, "We won't be short of water." ”
"I'm not sure about this, when will we get out of the dry area." Tao Qini looked at them and said rationally.
"Anyway, if you can collect water, I'm really afraid that the sun in the sky will dry up the earth." Yao Changsheng looked up at the sky above his head.
"Let's dig a pit to collect water." Tao Fifteen stood up and walked to the wheelbarrow, picked up his tools and followed Tao Liuyi to the reeds.
And Tao Qini took a knife to chop wood, next to the dry trees in the river, and cut them casually.
I had enough firewood, buried the pot and boiled water, and I was dying of thirst.
"Nier, what are you staring at the reeds?" Yao Changsheng looked at Tao Qini, who was looking directly at the reeds, and said.
"Nothing?" Tao Qini shook her head slightly.
"Don't you want to do this?" Yao Changsheng looked directly at her and said, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he guessed affirmatively, "You want to go in." ”
"Hmmm! I don't want to eat jerky, I want to go in and grab something fresh. Tao Qini's clear eyes looked at him and said frankly.
"No way!" Shen and Yao Changsheng said in unison.
"What can I do if I get lost? You stay honest with me. Shen looked at her with a straight face and said solemnly.
"Oh!" Tao Qini's eyes wandered with a perfunctory response.
"The situation inside is unknown, it's too dangerous, what if I encounter a snake?" Yao Changsheng stared at her with his eyes and persuaded him.
"Long worm!" Shen exclaimed when he heard this, "You promise me not to go in." ”
"Okay, okay, don't go." Tao Qini looked at her in a panic and hurriedly said, "Actually, I'm not afraid." ”
"You're not afraid, I'm afraid, when you mention it, the hairs stand up." Shen shuddered.
"Don't go in, don't go in." Tao Qini looked at her and nodded hurriedly.
"Where's Jiujiu?" Shen Shi lit a fire, raised his eyes to look at her and asked.
"No......." Tao Qini watched that before she finished speaking, she heard a chirping voice, swooped down from the air, and walked in front of her.
Chirped golden eyes stared at her left and right.
"What are you looking at?" Tao Qini looked at it curiously and asked.
Chirp looked at the lit bonfire and looked straight at it.
"Silly bird, if you don't bring your prey, you won't have anything to eat." Tao Qini touched its head and said.
Jiu Jiu took a few steps back, flapped his wings and flew away.
"It's not really going to hunt, is it?" Shen Shi looked at her dumbfoundedly and said.
"It looks like it." Tao Qini smiled when she heard this, "This stupid bird likes to eat fresh. ”
"Why do you keep calling it stupid! It's obviously very fine. Shen looked at her disapprovingly and said.
"Hehe......" Tao Qini said with a bright smile on her face when she heard this, "I like it." ”
"You obviously bully it, and it doesn't understand." Yao Changsheng stared at her with autumn-like eyes and said.
