Chapter 155 The Magical Wooden Barrel

"How are we going to sleep tonight?" Rhodes said looking at the empty room. There was no bed or other furniture in the room, only a pile of straw and a broken cabinet.

And Rhodes could smell an unpleasant musty smell from the straw pile from a distance.

"It's good to have a place to sleep. It's better than living in the wilderness. The house can at least protect you from the wind and rain." Baron found a place against the wall and sat down.

Rhode looked at the hole in the wall of the room and was a little suspicious of Baron's words, feeling that the effect of sheltering from the wind and rain was not good.

"Why doesn't he even have a bed?" Rhodes asked again.

"Everything on the land belongs to the local lord, even the trees. They can't cut down trees without the lord's permission." Michelle explained, her mood seemed a little depressed.

"Fortunately, their lord allowed them to use the mud on the ground to build houses." Baron joked.

"Do you know that they use mud to build houses and the lord doesn't charge extra money?" Rhodes took out the food in his bag, and planned to eat something before going to bed. He was already very tired, but after dark, sleepiness hit him like a tide .

"Just eat something at night. It's dark now and there is no oil lamp and no fire to cook." Rhodes handed the bread in the bag to Baron and the others.

Eating without washing his hands before was absolutely unacceptable to him, but now he felt nothing, but before that he was sure that he didn't touch anything dirty, and the dirtiest thing he touched was probably the fur of a traveling horse.

"You said they can't cut down trees, so how do they make a fire to cook?" Baron said while tearing the black bread that was as hard as wood. Although this kind of bread is unpalatable, it is easy to preserve. It can be stored for several months in this kind of weather. Neither will deteriorate.

Rhodes also remembered that they saw the smoke rising from the village outside the village.

"You can't cut down trees, you can always pick up the branches that fall on the ground." Hammer said lightly.

Baron nodded and felt that what Hamer said made sense.

After filling his stomach, Rhode leaned against the wall and quickly fell asleep.He woke up many times during the night, and it was a horrible sleep, and when he woke up the next day he was sore.

Rhodes was awakened by urination, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Baron and the others hadn't woken up yet, so he left the room lightly.

When I went to the field not far from the village, I applied some farmyard manure to the crops inside.

Afterwards, he went to a public well in the middle of the village, got some water, and took a simple wash. After doing this, he took out a wooden bucket from the system, which was drawn during the battle with the Qinghu gang killers in the early morning of yesterday.

He also didn't know why he got a wooden barrel. Could it be a helmet that had been lost for countless years?
Because it is the equipment obtained by ordinary lottery, the system did not introduce the wooden barrel in detail. Rhodes felt that it might really be an ordinary wooden barrel.

Although local villagers cannot cut down trees to make furniture or build houses, a wooden barrel is tied with a strong rope to the public well to collect water for the villagers.

Rhode filled the wooden barrel in the well with water and poured it into the wooden barrel he got from the system, but found that the water level in his wooden barrel had only risen a little.

Could it be that this wooden barrel drawn from the system mall has a space function and can store water?

In order to verify this idea, Rhodes fetched several buckets of water from the well and poured them into his wooden barrel. The water level in the wooden barrel rose a little more, but it was not full yet.

He tried to pour the water from the barrel back into the barrel in the well, and after filling the barrel in the well, the water level in his own barrel dropped only a little.

Seeing this situation, Rhodes was a little happy. He didn't need to bring water when he went out in the future. He only needed to fill this wooden bucket with water and put it in the system, and then take it out when needed.

I don't know if the water will deteriorate, but if you put boiled water in it and put it in the system space, it won't deteriorate. High temperature can kill most microorganisms, except for the vitality of tardigrades and their tenacity. Microorganisms and some bacterial spores should be less likely to deteriorate if placed in a system space similar to a vacuum environment.

But think about the previous night clothes that have been worn so many times, and they were stuffed directly into the system space without cleaning and there was no mold. Even if the water was not boiled and thrown into the system space, it should not deteriorate.

Rhodes continued to add water to the wooden barrel, pouring more than a dozen barrels in a row before stopping. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise he would definitely be curious about this wooden barrel.

He originally planned to put the bucket into the system space and wait until the village elder's house before taking the water out, but after thinking about the risk, he took the bucket back with him.

Walking on the road, Rhode felt that this bucket seemed less martial arts and a little fantasy, and it shouldn't be something that can be drawn in ordinary lottery draws, but thinking of the mother-child flying knife that absorbed blood and could produce a small flying knife at the beginning, Compared with it, the function of this wooden barrel is also relatively general.

The mother-child flying knife is equivalent to creating something out of nothing, or turning blood into steel. Although the blood contains iron, it is not so much.

Now, mother-child flying knives are completely dispensable for Rhodes. A small flying knife can be sold for two silver coins at most in the Fish Kingdom. This is the price for a single purchase. If you buy a lot at one time, the price will be even cheaper. .

One is generated every day, which is 360 five in a year. If you sell it for two silver coins, you can only get more than seven gold coins. It is not as good as the income he can get in one minute by going to a city to wipe out evil forces.

In eight hours and 480 minutes, he earned almost 20 gold coins. This is still a lot of money that he can't take away. If he gets a wallet that can hold a lot of gold coins, the income will be doubled.

Rhodes returned to the village elder's house with the bucket, and then walked towards the kitchen. He didn't meet Baron and the others on the way, and the old man was not in the kitchen, so he saved himself the trouble of explaining to them where the bucket came from.

The kitchen was very dilapidated. Rhodes was worried that there would be no pot, but luckily, there was still an iron pot inside. Although it was very dilapidated, it was barely usable.

After Rhodes washed the iron pan with water, he added water and cooked the corned beef. He returned to the room and took out the white experience bought in Fish Kingdom from the package, instead of using the large yellow coarse salt on the kitchen stove.

He was going to eat bread and corned beef soup for breakfast, and the bread soaked in broth would not be so bad. Seeing the corned beef soup, Rhodes sighed, thinking of a dead friend.

It didn't take long for the soup to be cooked, and there was no suitable container in the kitchen, so he had to take it out with the pot attached.

Baron and the others got up before, and Michel stayed in the room, not knowing whether he was praying or what, while Baron went out to feed the horses tied in the middle of the village with water and fodder, and took a look at the daily life of these villagers by the way. .

When Rhodes took the pot out, Baron just came back from the outside, and called Hammer, who was polishing the weapon, and Michel, who was praying, and everyone began to eat breakfast.

Not long after, the elders of the village also came back from the outside, staring fixedly at the broth between Rhodes and them. He tried to divert his attention, but failed.

"Let's eat together." Baron took the initiative to invite. Although they didn't bring a pot, Hammer still brought a few iron bowls in their bags. They just put the soup in the big pot into the iron bowls and dipped the meat with bread Soup to eat.

The old man hesitated for a while, but finally did not refuse Baron's invitation.

Seeing the old man gobbled it up, Rhodes was a little worried that he would choke, so he kindly reminded
"Eat slowly, it's not good if you choke."

The old man smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "I'm sorry, this is the first time I've eaten meat in more than ten years, so I can't restrain myself..."

In an era of low productivity, it is normal for ordinary people to seldom eat meat, but it is abnormal for an old man who has never eaten meat in his life. The most important thing is that this old man is still the elder of the village...
