Chapter 96: Water is a problem

Zhu Ruru is here, she naturally doesn't care about what others think.

She picks up the rabbit and prepares to dispose of it, then makes a rabbit porridge.

However, walking around, she found no place with fresh water.

Could it be that she had to go to the beach to deal with the rabbit?

However, although they face the sea in the south, they have to walk a long way to get to the place where there is seawater, about two or three kilometers.

"Ruru, are you going to look for water?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Zhu Ruru doesn't have to look back to know that it is Ji Chunxiang.

Seeing that Ji Chunxiang caught up with a few bamboo cans in her hand, Zhu Ruru said: "Aunt Xiang, do you know where to drink fresh water?" ”

Ji Chunxiang said: "I also heard people say that under the mountain to the west, there is a mountain spring, but that spring doesn't seem to be very big." ”

When Zhu Ruru heard this, he took the rabbit back again, and instead took some of the existing water bags and bamboo cans at home that could hold water.

Prepare to fetch water and come back for processing.

After all, the spring is not big, and if she takes the rabbit there to deal with it, she is afraid that the spring water will be polluted.

Tang Qinglan heard Zhu Ruru and Ji Chunxiang say that they were going to fetch water, and they also said that they would go together, and Meng Huaiyan followed Zhu Ruru when she went out with a rabbit to find a water source.

So, the group went to the spring to fetch water.

About 20 minutes later, Zhu Ruru and his party found the spring that the villagers said.

Sure enough, it was very small, the whole waterhole was only about a cubic meter in size, and it was filled with a few bamboo jars, so I had to wait.

Wait for the spring to come out of the small spring.

"This water is too slow, is there only water here in the vicinity?" Zhu Ruru frowned.

Ji Chunxiang was also a little depressed.

"I heard that there is another such spring four or five miles ahead, which is about the same size as this, and the speed of the water is estimated to be about the same."

"There's a river five or six miles to the east, but it meets the ocean, and the water is salty and you can't drink it."

The river that Ji Chunxiang said was five or six miles to the east, and Zhu Ruru naturally knew it.

That's where they came yesterday and crossed that river.

In such a big place around here, there are only two springs, and now that they have 600 people, they don't have to think about it, drinking water will be a big problem in the future.

Zhu Ruru didn't expect that as soon as they settled down, the first problem turned out to be the water source!

"I don't know how to dig a well into the ground?" Tang Qinglan said loudly.

Zhu Ruru shook her head, "It shouldn't work, it's connected to the sea here, the soil is loose, the well is not easy to dig, not to mention, the water that comes out is probably salty." ”

"What then? Doesn't it have to get here every day to wait for water? ”

It's just settled, it's still morning, and there are still a lot of people who don't know it's going to be a spring.

I believe that in less than half a day, I am afraid everyone will know.

When everyone comes here to get water, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

Zhu Ruru glanced at Tang Qinglan, "Mother, you don't have to worry too much, we live by the sea, if it is difficult to get water here, let's go get seawater." I have a way of turning seawater into drinkable fresh water. ”

As soon as Zhu Ruru's words came out, Tang Qinglan and Ji Chunxiang's eyes all lit up.

Even Meng Huaiyan, who was silent on the side, also flickered slightly.

"If so, what you said is true, can you really turn seawater into drinkable water?" Ji Chunxiang was very surprised.

She hadn't found a water source last night, so she went to the beach to get a bamboo jar of water and took a sip, and it felt like it was still very good until now.

Zhu Ruru really has the ability to turn seawater into drinkable water?

Zhu Ruru nodded.

Turning seawater into fresh water can be achieved with a few simple tools.

However, this can only solve the problem of drinking water for the family, and it will be more troublesome to get a lot of water crops and the like.

After listening to Zhu Ruru's explanation, Tang Qinglan and Ji Chunxiang were happy and a little regretful.

Of course, happiness is in the majority.

Ji Chunxiang patted Zhu Ruru's shoulder and said, "It's good to be able to solve the problem of drinking water in front of you." ”

Fetch the water and go back to the village.

After processing the rabbit, use it to add brown rice and cook a pot of rabbit porridge.

As soon as the scent wafted out, Rarity woke up with the smell of it.

The family's first breakfast at Kangle Village was simple and delicious.

After breakfast, the family continued to get busy.

The first thing is to repair the half-collapsed roof. You can't let it stay in the open air all the time.

It's good that it doesn't rain, but when it does, the house will look like a pond.

Except for Zhu Ruru's family, other families are also busy.

Busy mending the house, busy cleaning the yard. The people who had drawn the empty lot also basically chose the land, cleaned it up, and prepared to build a house on it.

All of us are working hard for our new home and new life.

At this time, Qin Xiu'er's family was also not idle.

Qin Xiuer's family drew the No. 4 lot, and the house with the No. 4 lot collapsed a wall, and the roof collapsed by more than half.

Qin Xiu'er's family has a total of four people.

Qin Xiu'er's father, General Qin, was also put on death row, along with Qin Xiu'er's eldest brother. Because Qin Xiu'er's eldest brother was an adjutant general under General Qin.

None of them are eligible for exile.

So now Qin Xiu'er's family only has Qin Xiu'er, Qin's wife Zheng, Qin Xiu'er's third brother Qin Yuan, and fourth brother Qin Mao.

Qin Yuan was only eight years old, and Qin Mao was seven years old.

Qin Xiu'er and Zheng, one of them is a young girl, and the other is a middle-aged woman. With two and a half children, tidying up the house is obviously not so easy.

"Cousin Xiu'er, these stones are a bit big, I'll help you move them."

Qin Wencheng saw that Qin Xiu'er was struggling to carry the stones in front of the house, he couldn't see it, so he left his work and walked towards Qin Xiu'er's house.

Qin Xiu'er glanced up at Qin Wencheng, and didn't say yes or no, just continued to work.

Qin Wencheng saw that Qin Xiu'er did not object, so he directly moved his hand to lift the stone for her.

Zhu Ruru, who was not far away, glanced at this scene and silently withdrew his gaze.

The No. 4 house that Qin Xiu'er's family drew is not too far away from her family's No. 8 house, just diagonally opposite.

In the future, as soon as you open the door, it is estimated that you will be able to see each other.

Regarding the fact that Qin Xiu'er and her family have become such close neighbors, Zhu Ruru is basically indifferent now. As long as Qin Xiu'er doesn't take the initiative to provoke her in the future, she will naturally not pay attention to the other party.

Under the hard work of Feng Bo and Meng Huaiyan, the half-collapsed roof of their house was quickly cleaned up, and now as long as they go and get some spear grass back and put it on, the roof can be completely repaired.

Zhu Ruru was about to go to the nearby mountains to cut some thatch, and by the way, to see if there was any prey on the mountain to catch, before he went out, Meng Jianye suddenly came.

I saw that his face was full of joy and said to Zhu Ruru: "Ruru, go and get food!" ”
