Chapter 15: A Dose of Luxury
"I can't." The man in power armor spoke.
"Okay. I have ten catties of beef here, and this cowhide has also been treated by my ancestral technology, if you want, you have to exchange it with water, of course I may have said nonsense, you should not lack this material, so please return the cowhide to me later. ”
Jiang Cheng handed over the beef and the cowhide.
The person wearing the power armor directly used the internal communicator to ask someone to bring water, and at the same time took the cowhide and scanned it with his own power armor, and seemed to be a little surprised.
Although the material of this cowhide is still the original material, but the treatment method is a little strange, he can't help but want to study, so he said: "Cowhide together, count you six catties of water." ”
“…… Yes. Jiang Cheng didn't say anything more.
Soon, Jiang Cheng's water was delivered, a white plastic bottle, just six catties, I don't know if it was a freshly made bottle, or if they already had this kind of bottled water.
As for the evolutionary next to him, his knife would take a while to make, so he had to wait.
Tong Xiaorou looked at the six-kilogram bottled water that Jiang Cheng kicked in her hand, her delicate body trembled with excitement, her eyes were full of desire and nervousness, and she subconsciously wanted to block the sight of others with her body.
Yaya was the same, but she was very well-behaved and didn't say anything, just tried very hard to close her eyes and suppress the desire in her heart, but she still couldn't help but quietly open one eye and peek, her little throat squirming.
Many people around saw the six catties of water that Jiang Cheng was carrying, and their eyes couldn't help but show envy and jealousy.
The food and water they get here in exchange for labor can only barely feed and sustain their lives, and it is impossible to eat and drink enough.
And now, Jiang Cheng got so much water at once, which made many people red-eyed.
Not far away, the tall and thin man's family was also here, and next to the man, the skinny woman looked envious, and suddenly became very jealous of Tong Xiaorou in her heart, pursing her lips stubbornly, eager to replace the identity of the girl next to the young man.
In this day and age, food is scarce, but water is even more precious.
The people of this world may have undergone a little evolution, or they may have been forced to adapt to the environment, and the human stomach and intestines have been optimized.
Because those people ate old bark and grass roots before, I have never seen anyone with indigestion, but everything that can be eaten can be digested, and the adaptability is very strong.
Therefore, I am really hungry, and I can barely sustain life by grabbing a little dead wood and stuffing it in my mouth, although the stomach may be very uncomfortable, and even seriously die, but at least some people with strong adaptability can still survive.
However, the water can't be found if you want to drink dirty, and even Jiang Cheng has not been to the toilet for almost three days since he came to this world.
Ahead, Jiang Cheng didn't rush to leave, although after knowing that he was an evolutionary, not many people dared to rob him.
But just in case, he decided to wait for another evolutionary.
Because that evolutionary gets more water in exchange.
If other people really want to target it, it's easier to target that guy.
The evolutionary on the other side could guess Jiang Cheng's plan, but he didn't take it seriously.
Because he is an evolutionary in the late stage of the first order, his life is at least seven points or above, which is much stronger than ordinary people.
Not to mention that the wilderness people were malnourished one by one, and a large crowd besieged him, and they didn't even want to touch his clothes.
The two women and a child behind him, although they couldn't help but look at the water in Jiang Cheng's hand, there was no envy in their eyes, because they would have more later.
"Brother-in-law......" The maid in her arms was a little frightened by the people around her, and whispered.
"It's fine." Jiang Cheng smiled.
In just ten minutes, the evolutionary's water and knife were delivered.
A large can of plastic cans with handles, filled with water, and a steel knife with a cold glow, made Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at it twice.
The three people behind the evolutionary all clenched their palms excitedly.
The evolutionary took it easily without saying a word, carrying water in one hand and a knife in the other, and the weight of more than fifty catties did not seem to bring him any burden.
He didn't even look at Jiang Cheng, turned around and left with his own people.
The two evolutionaries never spoke.
Jiang Cheng didn't have a hot face to stick a cold fart. took advantage of the fact that most people's eyes were attracted by the evolutionary, and immediately left with Tong Xiaorou.
Instead of returning to where they came, they headed all the way to the right.
After walking three or four hundred meters, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, suddenly put the bottled water into the space backpack, took out Tang Hengdao with a flip of his hand and violently cut off a thigh-thick dead wood next to him, and then turned around and pointed to the back.
Immediately there was a sound of rustling in the rear, and the footsteps quickly faded away.
There are not many people who are not afraid of death, but if they are not sure, those wilderness people will also consider it.
"Jiang Cheng......" Tong Xiaorou said nervously.
"I've left."
Jiang Cheng said: "Let's stay away from here. ”
They sped up.
After a short time, the three of them went to a place five or six hundred meters away from the land boat and stopped under a huge tree.
"Let's go here, it's too far away to hear the movement on the land boat, and we still need to continue to follow the land boat, otherwise we won't be able to get water."
Jiang Cheng used a knife to pick up all the layers of rotten leaves on the ground, and cleared out a large open space, then took out the bonfire and lit it directly with a single thought.
Then, with a little excitement, he took out the animal skin water bag while cooking the beef he had collected earlier.
Although he really wanted to take a shower, this little water was still too little, and he didn't dare to wash his face.
He drank the rest of the water in the water bag in one gulp, spitting out a lot of wood dregs.
The inside of the skin water bag is not clean.
He thought about it, opened the bottled water, poured a little into it, shook it vigorously, and cleaned the animal skin water bag.
After shaking for a while, he hesitated, and drank the water to clean the water bag, not daring to waste it at all.
This water ...... It's a little weird, there's a very faint smell of chemicals, it feels ...... Not quite like normal water.
However, he didn't think much of it, because it was not surprising to know that this was water synthesized from the elements, and it was different from normal water.
Next to them, Yaya and Tong Xiaorou both looked at each other, but did not speak.
"Phew!"
Jiang Cheng spit out a little wood slag again, then poured some more into it, and almost filled the water bag before handing it to Tong Xiaorou and said with a smile: "I'll drink enough this time, but you can't drink too quickly, you haven't drunk water for too long, and it's easy to get hurt if you drink too much at once." ”
"Uh-huh, thank you, thank you!"
Tong Xiaorou excitedly took the water bag full of water, and gave Yaya a sip before taking a sip herself.
After slowing down, he gave Yaya another sip and took another sip himself.
Because they were all too thirsty and dehydrated for a long time, they didn't dare to drink too much at once, worried that their bodies wouldn't be able to stand it.
Jiang Cheng was relieved when he saw this, and he also eased up, and then he held the bottled water and poured it violently.
After draining a pound of water in one gulp, he stopped contentedly.
Although I still want to drink it again, it is enough now, and if I drink it again, it will accumulate urine and waste it.
"What a blessing."
Jiang Cheng sighed in his heart, he never thought that one day just having water to drink could produce a sense of happiness.
Seeing that Yaya and Tong Xiaorou were still taking turns drinking water, he hurriedly said, "Don't drink too much in a hurry, eat first." ”
As he spoke, he took out three pieces of barbecue and said happily: "One piece per person, today we have a luxury." ”
