It was the first time for the four of them to experience such a thing, and their experience was limited, and they had a premonition that the water shortage crisis was approaching, and they were directly numb.

At this time, Tang Ying, who has a good relationship with the eldest lady in the village, comes in handy, and it is up to her to inquire about the news with the eldest lady, and it is best to know where the next water point is.

This is not confidential information, everyone in the village knows it, and there should be nothing that cannot be said.

"Okay, I'll go now, you wait here for me, at least an hour, at most two hours."

At this time, Qin Jiang had already lifted the water to the edge of the big water tank and poured water directly into the water tank.

The two siblings have a good relationship with Tang Ying He Yuan, and their personalities are also compatible, so they rarely worry about this kind of thing, they have a lot of things mixed together, such as water and firewood, and they have never had any disputes because of such a trivial matter.

If you use a lot of water, you will be diligent in carrying water, and you will be more diligent in firewood, and you will be diligent in entering the forest.

The wait was more than an hour, but the three of them didn't feel anything difficult, Qin Xi dug it back before, washed it and dried the herbal tea, and after rinsing it with boiling water, it had a different taste.

What perilla honeysuckle can be used as herbal tea to make water, not to mention the wild chrysanthemums picked in autumn.

After the wild chrysanthemum is dried, rinse it with boiling water, pour out the water, add boiling water, soak for a while, and the fragrance will come out.

Moreover, wild chrysanthemums, after picking and washing, can also be directly steamed in the steaming drawer, steamed and dried, the taste is more elegant, Qin Xi likes to soak this kind of soak.

Tang Ying strode into the room and said to Qin Xi: "Give me a glass of water, my voice is almost hoarse to them." ”

Obviously, he just chatted with the eldest lady there for a while, and then walked back, and when he walked to Qin's house, he was already sweating profusely.

It's so hot outside! The great furnace of the sun is emitting heat everywhere, trying to bake the earth and teach the people above a hard lesson.

Qin Xi put the bowl of herbal tea that had been poured before, but now it was warm, and put it on the spare table: "Here, sit down and drink it slowly, don't worry." ”

Although the tea is no longer hot, it is not good to drink it urgently, and the throat and eyes are blocked.

Tang Ying took the water and drank it all directly, the action was called a heroic, after drinking, he wiped his mouth and sat down directly.

The other three, in different directions at the table in front of her, all stared at her with burning eyes.

"How?" He Yuan said politely to her.

I've been here for years, and who doesn't know who! Needless to say, fake politeness.

"Don't worry, there is water, the water will not stop, but it is more troublesome to get water, you have to go through the forest and into the mountains, it takes five or six hours to go back and forth, and the road is rugged, if it is not really no water, there is really no way, you will not go there."

"It's almost that time now, this afternoon, someone will go to the water point in the next few villages to have a look, if there is, that's the best, if not, you can only go into the mountains."

Tang Ying inquired about the situation, this is the case, overall, the situation is quite optimistic, they should not need to worry about being thirsty to death.

The terrain around Chenhui Village is mountainous and forested, and there are countless underground karst caves, and there is still no shortage of water, but the difficulty of getting water is just that.

It is not difficult to dig deep wells around the village, but for a while there is no professional person to be found, and it is time-consuming, laborious and costly, and the village is not willing to spend money on such things.

Besides, this deep well will not take long, and the villagers would rather go to the mountains to fetch water during the drought time, which is rarely encountered once in ten years.

When the situation is really serious, the deep well is not useful, and it will still be dry.

In the afternoon, Qin Jiang He Yuan brought equipment and went to the next village with the villagers to find a water source, and came back near the evening, and brought back a load of water.

The news is not optimistic, not only the water source of Chen Hui Village has problems, but also several nearby villages are like this, the water in the water intake point will not last for a few days, and further away, they will not know.

Half a month ago, the town's wells dried up one after another, and they had already lived a life of walking for more than two hours a day to fetch water, and after that, they might go further.

Now many people have a smell of sweat, not to mention, the lack of water on the bath and washing clothes of these two things is still very great, it takes so long, time-consuming and labor-consuming to beat back the water, if it is used to bathe and wash clothes, but it is too wasteful, even if it is a tired person who carries water, it is difficult to thoroughly take care of some people's personal hygiene, and no one is willing to use precious, can directly drink water, to do this kind of thing.

Qinxi They are better, there is still water in the reservoir, this water can be choked when used for eating and drinking, after all, it is not clean enough, but it is used to bathe and wash clothes, it is no problem at all.

The reservoir is also close to the village, so it is quite convenient to get water.

The four of them formed a gang and planned to tide over the difficulties together, and their lives were so embarrassing, let alone others.

During this time, Fang Zheng and Qin He's life was not very easy, they were all educated youths, or there were no educated youths whose families could help in the village, not to mention anything else, just going to the cave every day to fetch water was enough to consume a lot of their energy, they couldn't eat enough every day, they didn't sleep well, and they looked emaciated and haggard.

"Someone from the village will go to the mountains tomorrow to fetch water, should we go with them?" Liu Mei looked at Qin He and asked.

Zeng Rou told her about this, otherwise the two of them would definitely still have black eyes and don't know anything now.

"I've known about this for a long time, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own measure." He is the head of the family, Liu Mei only needs to take care of her stomach, just wait for him to come back at home, and don't worry about anything else.

Qin He, who thinks that he is no worse than anyone else, still has this confidence, and over the years, he has some acquaintances in the village, and it is perfect to go with them to get water, and the safety problem will definitely be guaranteed.

"Measure, can you not be so arrogant, who can say for sure what will happen in the future, multiple friends and multiple roads, go to fetch water with Qin Jiang and them, don't say anything else, they will definitely not harm you."

You know, on the way to get water, there may be people who deliberately make it bad, after all, water is such a thing, but it is too easy to do tricks, as long as the bucket falls to the ground because of a dispute, and the water on the ground is sprinkled, it will never be collected.

This back and forth is five or six hours, and the learning during this period is great.
