When Liu An arrived, the victims had already organized a piece of land more than 20 meters square under the organization of Liu Bei and Liu Ming.

The stones were cleared and the trees were cut down and moved outside, leaving only some hard-to-dig roots, which 20 people with hoes were trying to dig out.

Seeing Liu An coming, Liu Bei and Liu Ming walked over.

Liu Bei was entrusted by Liu An to help, and Liu Ming was completely here to join in the fun, anyway, he was the eldest young master of the patriarch's family, he didn't worry about food or clothing, and he had nothing to do on weekdays, just to relieve boredom.

"Uncle, it's getting late, and I can't see at night, so I can only continue tomorrow." Liu Bei said.

"That's what I thought, move everything down and then cook for life."

Liu Bei and Liu Ming went to arrange for someone to move things, while Liu An remembered the problem of water after talking about cooking.

There must be no water nearby, and I can't take out the endless kettle in front of everyone, and I can't cook without water, so I have to find a way.

Liu An stood in place, directing people to move things, while thinking about how to get water.

After thinking about it, there is no good way.

In desperation, Liu An could only let someone move a water tank to his ox cart after emptying his ox cart, put a bucket of water, and then instructed Liu Bei:

"I know where there is water nearby, but it's a little far from here, I'll drive the ox cart to fetch it, Xuande, you will arrange for them to bury the kettle first, add firewood, and when I come back, we will make a fire to cook."

There is no support under the cauldron that Liu An bought, so it is impossible to make a fire directly underneath, so it is necessary to dig a pit in the soil and put the kettle on top of it in the channel where the firewood is dug out.

If there is a bracket, it is not called a kettle, but a tripod, and it is much more expensive than the kettle.

Liu Bei knew that Liu An was weak, and originally wanted to go with Liu An, but Liu An refused on the grounds that it was heavy enough to put a tank of water on the car and add one, and one more person was afraid that the cow would not come back.

"By the way, those carriages are rented, and they will leave after unloading, and I have already paid for them, so I don't have to pay them again. Also, the round stuff in the kettle is a vegetable, so you can just peel it and stew it with the meat. Xuande, you bother with dim sum, you must watch it all stew in person, and you can't leave a single raw! Before leaving, Liu An reminded Liu Bei again.

After speaking, Liu An drove the ox cart to the other side of the mountain.

It was almost dusk, and it was about to get dark in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, Liu An had always carried the blood spirit, otherwise at this time, he really didn't dare to go this way.

After walking for about two or three miles, to make sure that this side would not be seen, Liu An turned the bull's head, turned the car in the direction of going back, and then stood on the car and began to put water into the water tank, and after the water tank was full, he filled the bucket again.

The mountain road is rugged, and I don't know how much water to sprinkle on the road, of course, Liu An can put as much water as he can.

His ox cart can fit three water tanks, but he is really afraid that the oxen will not be able to return when they are filled with water, and the water tank filled with water is heavier, and it may be broken if it is touched a few times on the road, so the gain will outweigh the loss.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to go back and forth, and when Liu An came back, the victims had already set up three cauldrons.

A third of the water in the tanks and buckets on the road was sprinkled, that is, the ox cart was slow, and the walk was steady, and the distance was not far, so it was only this point, and the horse-drawn cart must have sprinkled more water than that.

Liu An asked people to take a bucket and put all the water in the water tank into the kettle, and handed the fire sickle to Liu Bei, so that they could start living and cooking, and he went to fetch water again.

After four round-trips, the kettle had been filled with water, and the rice, potatoes and meat had been washed.

Liu An made five more trips back and forth to completely fill the other three water tanks before he asked someone to unload the water tanks on the car.

When Liu An went to the city in the morning, he had already bought one water tank, and in the afternoon he went to the city to buy three water tanks, so now there are four water tanks in the disaster camp.

By the time this was done, it was completely dark.

When Liu An went to fetch water, Liu Bei had already asked people to light torches, and the moonlight was good today, so although it was late, the camp could still be seen clearly.

At this time, the meal was ready, and the first batch of victims to eat gathered together and ate their meals in large gulps.

Liu An gave Liu Bei and Liu Ming a bowl of potato broth each, and asked them to pad their stomachs first.

It was already so late, and the two of them must be hungry too.

After finding a few young people who were not eating, Liu An asked them to pile up 10 fires in two rows and light them, and let the victims of the disaster be in a team of more than 20 people to gather around the fire to keep warm.

They wore little clothing, and the temperature dropped as soon as the sun went down, so many of the victims shivered from the cold.

Liu An stood in the midst of the 10 fires and shouted: "Everyone, listen to me a few words!" ”

Hearing Liu An speak, all the victims looked towards the middle, stopped talking, and those who were eating also stopped eating and looked at Liu An quietly.

"First of all, continue to eat while eating, as long as you don't delay me from speaking, there are still people waiting to eat after you finish eating!"

Hearing Liu An say this, the victims who were holding bowls in their hands continued to eat carefully.

"In Xia Liu An, he has not yet reached the crown, nor has he expressed his words. Presumably everyone saw it later, my family is indeed not a rich and wealthy family, and I can't prepare clothes and shoes for everyone for a while, and there is no place to live for the time being. ”

"However, since I am willing to follow me Liu An, I will never starve everyone's stomach, and if I Liu An eats a bite, there will be you!"

"In the next few days, the living place will be built, and everyone will no longer be allowed to eat and sleep in the open, and the clothes and shoes will be slowly made up for everyone."

"Again, thanks to your promotion and willingness to follow, I will definitely take responsibility for you! However, if everyone has a better way out, I, Liu An, will not stop me, and I will leave on my own! ”

"Besides, now that the house has not been built, I can only grieve you to pay attention to it, don't put out these ten fires at night, there is enough firewood, even if you use it, don't catch a cold!"

"So, that's all I have to say, let's rest after eating!"

After Liu An finished speaking, he greeted Liu Bei and Liu An, took a torch and lit it, and prepared to go home.

When the victims saw that Liu An was leaving, they got up one after another to see each other off.

Liu An noticed the movement behind him, so he could only stop and repeatedly tell him not to send it, and quickly finish eating and resting, before the victims stopped, turned to kneel on the spot, and knocked the prime minister to send it.

In desperation, Liu An could only hurriedly beckon Liu Ming and Liu Bei to get in the car and drive away as soon as possible.

After an afternoon of familiarization, the extremely perceptive blood spirit gradually became familiar with some people who were often close to Liu An, like Liu Bei and Liu Ming, the blood spirit had already allowed them to get within a zhang of him and get on the ox cart.

It was getting late, and Liu An barely made out the road by the moonlight and torches, and drove the ploughing oxen slowly home.

Fortunately, he doesn't have night blindness, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go home at night.

On the way, Liu Bei finally asked what he had been holding back all afternoon.

"Uncle, what do you want to do this time?"

He could see that Liu An was going to do great things, otherwise he would not have bankrupted his family to fund the straw mats and straw sandals that his family relied on for survival.

It's just that what exactly is going on and what to do next, but we still have to ask clearly.

It was late at night, and the cold winds from the north were especially noticeable at night.

Even with the torches, Liu An was still shivering slightly from the chill that came from the attack.
