The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

  Chapter 62 Found water!

   Return to the place where you just hunted pigs.

   Qi Da replaced Luo Laosan.

  When they left, Lao San Luo was sharpening his knife.

  Three wild boars were hung up for bloodletting, and the meat had not yet been removed.

  They found a smelly quagmire nearby, which should be a place where wild boars often move.

   All the way up, there is no trace of water source.

   The big guys are a little impatient.

   "We've come so far, why haven't we? Did we go in the wrong direction?" Hu Er asked.

   Boss Luo shook his head: "If there is water, it should be in this direction. Look at the growth of these trees, is it better than other places?"

  Yan Er Er looked at it, and it was indeed lush and lush, and there was no shortage of water.

  He used his feet to plan the ground, and the moisture in the soil was higher than that at the bottom of the mountain.

   There should be no wrong direction.

   "Go a little further." Luo Lao said.

  Hu Da has a different opinion: "No, look around. There are deep and shallow scratches on the trees and stones. It's too dangerous. We can't go any further."

   "Can you see what kind of animal's paw it is?" Qi Si asked.

  Hu Da shook his head: "There are no serious hunters here, but the ones in the deep mountains and old forests are either big cats or bears."

  Yan Laoer looked around subconsciously.

   Then he saw a beautiful piebald...

   "That! That! On the tree!" Yan Lao Er was hoarse, not daring to take a breath.

  He frantically shoved the iron crossbow to Lao Er Hu.

   Hu's second son is an arrow.

  The little guy was very alert, jumped between the branches, and ran away without a trace.

   "It's okay, it's a bobcat." Boss Hu picked up the arrow and said.

   Lynx?

  Yan Lao Er calmed down, but fortunately it was not a leopard, and he was startled when he saw it suddenly.

   Qi Si saw his nervousness and shook the wooden stick in his hand.

   "Second Brother Yan, I'm here!"

   Qi Da didn't know what Qi Si said, and he didn't leave Yan's second brother every step of the way. Hearing the words, he couldn't stop nodding: "Don't worry." He also waved the wooden stick very vigorously.

  Yan Er Er: Very good, the happiness index is bursting at the moment.

  Yan's second son suddenly raised his courage.

   "Go up for another quarter of an hour, if we still can't find it, we will go back first."

  Everyone nodded and continued to move forward.

   Time passed by, just as they were about to return.

   Qi Da looked around in a daze, and asked, "What did you hear?"

   What do you hear? There are noisy chirping of insects, birds chirping, and the sound of wind blowing the leaves or something rubbing between the leaves.

  Yan Lao Er suddenly twitched his nose twice.

   is water vapor!

   "There's water! Nearby!" he yelled.

  He ran forward desperately.

   Finally, behind a hillside that blocked the view, I saw a real mountain stream.

  The gurgling water flows gently through the mountains, soothing the lives on both sides of the strait.

  The stream that collided with the rocks was thrown into the air, and then fell down with crystals.

  The water is extremely clear.

  You can even see a finger-length fish swimming upstream against the stream.

  Everyone wept with joy!

   They finally, finally found water!

   They are all fathers, but they still can't help but run over happily.

  Qi Wuzheng wanted to take a sip of the water.

   Interrupted by Yan's second son "Alas".

   "Stop! Stop! Shut up!" Yan's second son was incoherent in a hurry: "Stop, stop!"

Everyone still gave Yan Laoer a lot of face. Ever since he left the village, Yan Laoer seemed to be a different person. He didn’t take books, and said something they didn’t understand... leading the way, going out to the village to help the big guys from time to time Change something to eat, watch the night with them, grab food together, go out to hunt together... It's quite likable.

  Everyone looked at him blankly.

  Yan Laoer let out a long breath, and he was stopped.

   "After we finish fetching the water, you can stretch out your hands, otherwise the water will be muddy and you can drink it."

  It’s true that the stream is a stream, but the waterway is really shallow. If they thump more, this area will suffer.

  He took a closer look, and said: "Otherwise, let's go over there, get water from this area, and let us wash it down below. To be honest, I can't stand the smell on my body."

   Boss Luo laughed and said, "The mother despises me too."

  Hu Dao: "There is no man who doesn't smell bad, we've been on the road, where can I go to make myself fragrant?!"

   "It doesn't matter whether it stinks or not, I just want to jump in to cool off." Hu Er's heart was about to jump into the water.

"Look at the water, it can cover your ankles." Yan Laoer suggested: "Let's bring it up for everyone, and everyone hasn't cleaned it up for a long time. This time, take a good rest for a few days and give us Bring up all the buckets, pots and pans, fill them up, and go on the road after drinking enough water.”

  No one dislikes this proposal.

   They really haven't had water for too long.

   Guarding this creek, let alone a few days, they are willing to stay for a few months.

  Of course, you can’t stay for a long time. Is it appropriate to bring people up?

   "The folks are definitely happy, but here, will we meet big guys again?" Qi Si asked.

"Let's burn a few fires here, and clean up the surrounding area and along the road, but it takes a lot of effort to chop more wood and burn it all day long. Animals are afraid of fire and dare not approach." Yan Laoer quickly circled one. place.

   "I think that area is very good, the ground is flat, and we can live there even if we are crowded."

   "This road is not easy to walk, and it may be a bit difficult to pull things up." Boss Luo frowned.

  Yan Laoer said: "It's okay, my three treasures are strong, so if you can't do it, run a few more times."

What are you waiting for?

  A group of people went down the mountain quickly, and cleared the old dead branches and roots along the way.

  Seeing that these people came back empty-handed, the big guy was a little disappointed.

   Didn't find the water?

  I saw Yan Lao Er running all the way to his brother's place.

  Yan Huaiwen is watching Luo Lao San busy with his hands behind his back.

   Most of the old and young in the village are concentrated here.

  In previous years, when pigs were slaughtered, the whole village would go to watch the fun.

   Not to mention that these three wild boars were hunted by our own family.

   meaning is not the same.

   Everyone is in a fantastic mood.

   "Brother! We found the water! We found the water!" Yan's second child was as happy as a child.

  Yan Huaiwen was shocked when he heard the words, and his smile gradually rose.

  The villagers stared and opened their mouths, constantly confirming with others: "Really? Did you really find the water?"

   "Found it!" The men who came back all patted their chests and promised, with smiles on their faces.

  The three wild boars suddenly fell out of favor.

   Luo Laosan stabbed the pig with the knife and joined the cheering team.

   "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get water now." Village Chief Luo immediately shouted.

   "Dad! Dad! The water is here, so I can't run away, so don't worry." Boss Luo comforted his father.

I heard Yan Laoer say to his brother and everyone: "It's so inconvenient to carry water all over the place. There are so many people we have to use, and it's not fun to use it. Why don't we go up and go there first?" Live next to the stream for a few days and take a good rest."

   Four more~

   If the code is finished before 0:00, it will be the fifth shift~ If after 0:00, it will be the first shift tomorrow~o(*////▽////*)q
