Chapter 49: The Plague

"Hahaha, I thought there were jackals, tigers and leopards in this deep mountain, but I didn't expect to see them all the way!"

"Like, I just saw a rabbit, how about I go hunt for a rabbit later?"

"It's too good here, I knew the mountain was so good, so I wouldn't go into the city!"

"I can't say that, I think it's still scary..."

"Let's fetch water first, fetch more, so as not to be known by those madmen in the city, it is estimated that this water will not be able to drink!"

It's just that as soon as this sentence was spoken, suddenly a person silently retracted his hand into his sleeve, and he could vaguely see that something seemed to be on the person's hand.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind itself: "Hey! What are you doing? ”

Everyone was startled, but turned around to see a half-sized man wearing a huge straw hat waving at them.

"Where did you come from? What are you doing here? ”

Everyone was asked in a weak heart, but after thinking about it, they puffed up their chests and shouted viciously: "Where did the little ghost come from?" What do you care about us? Believe it or not, throw it into the river! ”

The stone is not afraid at all, this big straw hat was made by his father, the workmanship is a little poor, and it is not very suitable, covering most of his face. If it weren't for the mask given by Xia Huai, I'm afraid his face would be shaved and painful.

"I've been in this mountain for more than ten years, and I've never seen you, so it's not certain that any of us will throw anyone into the river!"

Don't look at the young age of the stone, but he doesn't tell a lie without a false heart. Although there are more than ten or twenty people on the other side, and he has only one. But he was not timid at all.

Some people, the more scared you are, the more arrogant they become. But you stand up, and their hearts will beat the drum.

The group on the other side is the latter.

"What's going on? Could this kid really have two hits, right? ”

"Even if there are two hits, what can you do? He's just a half-sized kid, so let's have them! ”

"That's right! I'm afraid of him! him! ”

"No, no, no, maybe there's someone behind him? What if we don't say anything and start fighting, but are beaten by the people behind? ”

When they heard this, they were silent.

After a while, someone said: "Forget it, we're here to fetch water, ask him what's going on, and don't have a conflict if it's okay." ”

Even though the others were indignant, they didn't make any more provocations, and an older man stood up and shouted at the stone: "This little brother, we are just here to fetch water, and we have no other purpose, can we make a way?" ”

Shi thought to himself, I'm just to block you and buy time for Uncle Dashan and them to fetch water, and make way for you, wouldn't it make us die of thirst!

"Fetching water? Why am I so unconvinced? The stone looked at them with his chest around his chest: "You are from Lin'an County, right?" So far away just to fetch water? Do you think I'm like a fool? ”

The man who was talking to the stone opened his mouth: "This, we really didn't lie to you, it's really just to fetch water..." We all came with pots and pans! "It's not for the sake of fetching water, so it's hard to come here to eat!

Under the straw hat, Shi's eyes turned quickly: "Oh, then you have to convince me, don't you have water in the city?" How do you get here to fetch water? ”

"This kid is too cheap!" Someone couldn't help but scold: "Don't stop me, I have to tear his broken mouth ×!" ”

Others: "..."Whoever stopped you, wanted to kill yourself, no one is willing to act with you!"

When the man saw that no one paid attention to him, his heart was even more indignant, and his face turned red, and he walked towards the stone.

Shi looked at the other party's menacing appearance and was a little afraid, after all, before he came, Xia Huai told him to stay away from the other party, and was about to step back, when suddenly the man was unstable, and he actually fell into the mud...

"Hahahaha!"

There was a burst of laughter behind him, and the stone couldn't help but pout, deeply realizing that this group of people was just a plate of loose sand, and they couldn't condense together at all.

Although there are many people, there is nothing to be afraid of.

The man at the head pulled the person lying on the ground up, and a group of people suddenly came together to say something, and after a while, the man at the head spoke again: "I probably haven't gone out because of your appearance, so I don't know much about the situation outside, and we don't mind telling you, but you can't stop us from fetching water, otherwise..."

Shi didn't care about this, anyway, at this time, he estimated that Uncle Dashan had already hit the water: "You say! ”

"There is an epidemic outside, there are people who have the epidemic inside and outside the city, those who do not have the epidemic dare not go out, but those who have the epidemic are swaggering, we are really hungry and thirsty at home, so we have the courage to come to the mountains to fetch water..."

Although he guessed the situation outside, the stone still felt sad: "Is it serious outside?" ”

The man nodded, and then arched his hand: "Since we have informed us of the situation, can you let us go and fetch water?" ”

The stone didn't say anything this time, just turned around and ran.

Seeing that he was gone, the rest of the people scolded: "Sick! ”

"Alright, hurry up and fetch water, don't wait for them to find out."

At this time, Xia Dashan and the others had already come back with a wave of water. The stone was talking to him about something.

"Oh my God! It's a disease... What a whole thing is this, should we not be in the future..."Liu Qingyun couldn't help but cover her face and cry, she finally had some hope for life, but she didn't expect God to slap her again.

Zhou Huiniang hugged her and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay...", but she was also very uneasy, she thought that the ground was moving hard enough, but she didn't expect another half a month of heavy rain. Finally, after the torrential rain, there was another plague!

This is a plague that will kill many people!

"Daddy, don't worry, we have stored water for at least nearly a month now, it's better to leave before the displaced people enter the mountain, let's go to Huating County!"

"But." Xia Dashan pointed to the cave with some worry: "How can you take away such things?" I don't have to worry about food and food, but I'm afraid it's not easy to bring this water. ”

Xia Huai gritted his teeth: "Dad, don't worry about this, I have a way!" ”

Liu Qingyun asked curiously, "What's the solution?" "It would be nice if there were more jars, and the water would fit in the jars. But even if there were jars, they didn't have carriages, and the carts would surely spill some when they came to transport them.

Xia Huai silently walked to his sack and put his hand in.

Seeing this action, Zhou Huiniang's eyebrows jumped, and she suddenly walked over to block everyone's sight. leaned into the girl's ear and asked, "Xiaohuai, tell your mother quickly, are you going to take out something amazing?" ”

Xia Huai nodded a little embarrassed: "Yes, I, I bought some water bags before, and they are quite big, so let's take them out and use them." ”

Zhou Huiniang asked with a stiff face: "How many are there?" ”

Xia Huai calculated in his heart, and opened his mouth and said: "There is a bundle, I don't know how many, about a dozen?" In fact, she knew that a bundle was fifteen, and 30 points were exchanged.

This thing doesn't look like something from this era, but she really can't help it, although she can 'find' water for everyone in the days to come, but now? She can't let everyone leave with the water they worked so hard to get, right?

Fortunately, the hydration bladders can be chosen in style and color, and she bought leather, which at first glance looked like some kind of animal skin, and the colors were gray and brown.

Even if someone finds out, it is an ingenuity, and it can actually be made.

Zhou Huiniang tried hard to control her emotions, suppressed her throat and said, "Take it out and I'll take a look." ”

Soon, Xia Huai took out a bundle of water bags from it and handed it to her mother.
