Chapter 53: Water

Who is Bai Xia?

Even Guan Lin's mother, he made some psychological preparations, how could he casually recognize a refugee as his father.

She thought to herself.

The backlash is a shout: "Dad"

Yu Dazhuang was startled by her voice, and the arrows in his hand were all shot crookedly, and Bai Xia also seized the opportunity and rushed forward, kicking off the bow in Yu Dazhuang's hand with a kick, and an elbow hit instantly landed on Yu Dazhuang's lower three ways.

"Whew......"

A particularly terrible scream sounded in the forest, and a few refugees who came out with Yu Dazhuang saw this scene as soon as they arrived here, and they were so frightened that they subconsciously clamped their legs, and Li Xiuyuan, who rushed here on the other side, also saw this scene, his legs shook inexplicably, and he only felt a little cold.

Bai Xia didn't think about it so much, when he saw the refugee team coming, he saw Li Xiuyuan again.

The soles of his feet hooked the bow that fell to the ground, and he quickly picked up an arrow, and ran towards Li Xiuyuan with it.

And Li Xiuyuan also knows water very well, so he immediately turned around and ran.

"Quick...... Chase them back."

The sound of Yu Dazhuang gritting his teeth came from behind him, but the refugees were still immersed in Bai Xia's elbow blow, and they hesitated one by one.

"Da Zhuang, or forget it"

"yes, that's two kids"

"They're also to blame the poor"

Have you taken pity on me?

And my bow and arrows?

Yu Dazhuang glared angrily, but at this moment he was so painful that his waist couldn't stand up, that female doll was too ruthless, this was to cut off his children and grandchildren?

It's a pity that the refugees can't get his anger, anyway, there doesn't seem to be much water on this mountain, so why provoke that terrible female doll for a little water.

Besides, the bow and arrow are not theirs, and the wounded are not theirs, so what do they care so much for?

Although the refugees formed a patrol team, they were not as disciplined as the army, and no matter how Yu Dazhuang roared, these refugees were unmoved, and walked back with him on the back.

At least he didn't leave him alone, these refugees still have a conscience.

"Are you gone?"

"Gone"

Bai Xia looked over and made sure that the refugees had left, before coming out of the hiding place.

It turned out that the two of them did not go far at all, but hid and waited for the refugees to leave, and then came out.

"Let's go back and have some water"

There were still several puddles that Bai Xia had just seen, although some were only as big as a fist, but now any drop of water was precious and must not be let go.

She walked a few steps, and when she saw that Li Xiu hadn't followed, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

saw that he looked at her with some complicated eyes.

Bai Xia suddenly understood why his eyes were so complicated, thinking of the elbow blow he had before, he couldn't help touching his nose, and explained embarrassedly: "I said it was an accident, do you believe it?" ”

She didn't mean it, after all, her current body is just a child, and her height is only half of that person, she only thinks about snatching his bow and arrows and defeating him, so as not to be caught by him and taken back as a baby.

She didn't want to.

Li Xiuyuan reluctantly pulled out a smile, nodded again and again: "I believe, I believe"

said, but didn't dare to get close to Bai Xia.

The corners of Bai Xia's mouth twitched, and he glanced at a certain little bean ding who was shorter than her height, and to be honest, it was unlikely that her elbow hit him where he cared about.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan didn't know what she was thinking.

The two followed the location of the stream, and in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, they did not go downstream, but slowly searched upstream, sometimes finding a little water in a place where a few large stones were pressed or enclosed.

They were all carefully collected.

The water collected this time has a lot of sediment.

It's just that I can't even drink water, so what's the point of a little bit of sediment.

Fortunately, the refugees were all downstream, and after Yu Dazhuang's incident, Wang Lu did not arrange for anyone to come up, and also let Bai Xia and the two collect two bamboo tubes of water.

It's just that these can't be drunk directly, they also need to be filtered and then boiled.

It's not like the previous one, which was filled with well water.

I don't know how many bacteria there are in the water in the stream, so I drank it like this, but I was afraid that I would get sick.

The water from the well between them and the refugees did not interfere with the river water, so they made a simple filter device out of the sand and soil, wrapped it in a layer of cotton cloth, filtered the turbid water, put it in a clay pot, and buried it in a stove to boil the water.

Although both of them were too thirsty, they also patiently boiled water.

lest you get sick after drinking raw water, which is fatal.

When the water was boiled, Bai Xia took a cloth and took out another clay pot, poured the boiling water into the newly taken clay pot, and then took another clay pot and poured the water into it.

That's when she found a benefit.

The conversion pool comes with a cleaning function.

The clay pot taken out of it is clean by default, so she avoids washing dishes or washing clay pots.

In this way, taking advantage of the icy nature of the clay pot every time it is taken out, soon, the water in the clay pot is cooled.

Li Xiuyuan swallowed his saliva and looked at Bai Xia's movements, feeling that he had learned again.

"Whoa"

Put the cool water into the bamboo tube and hand it to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan took it, but didn't drink it, but looked at Bai Xia.

Bai Xia also had a bamboo tube in his hand, which was also filled with water.

She didn't have as many thoughts as Li Xiuyuan, she took a sip of the bamboo tube, and some warm water moistened her long-thirsty body, her chapped lips were soaked, and the dehydrated cells in her body seemed to come alive because of this sip of water.

Seeing that she drank water, Li Xiuyuan picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip.

Take a small sip of water, drink it carefully, for fear that it will be drunk if you are not careful.

"I don't know how far it is from Quanzhou, but I can see some water sources now, and I should be able to find water later."

Bai Xia was just guessing, and didn't persuade Li Xiuyuan to drink more.

Two bamboo tubes of water, one bamboo tube for one person, and there will be no more after drinking.

It's hard to say whether water can be found later.

Temporarily solved the problem of water, the two also took some steamed buns and dried meat out to eat, and before handing the food to Li Xiuyuan, Bai Xia also came out with a book that he memorized, and took charcoal to record the account in the book.

"This time it's a total of 17 yuan, a small half catty of jerky and a steamed bun, you owe me 284 yuan"

Since letting Li Xiuyuan learn to be self-reliant, Bai Xia has resolutely implemented the principle of letting him use money to buy food, due to difficult conditions, lack of water on the road, he has no time to weave straw shoes, so the food in the past few days is on credit, I thought that Bai Xia would not be accountable, who knew that she still remembered the account.

Li Xiuyuan was a little uncomfortable.

Holding the food and looking at her account, she was silent as she had been a few times before, but after looking at it several times, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you write?" ”

"Numbers"

"What's the number?"

"It's for arithmetic"

"Is it your fairy's writing?"

Bai Xia was silent, then looked up at him, nodded and shook his head, "Yes and no"

"Can you teach me then?" Although he didn't understand it very well, Bai Xia only wrote a few strokes, but he was able to keep the accounts well, and Li Xiuyuan was very interested in this number.

Bai Xia didn't speak, Li Xiuyuan thought she was unwilling, and hurriedly said, "I can give money"
