Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

"It's not that we don't have access to water, it's that there is no access to water. There is no water at several stations in a row." The conductor had no choice. He runs this line all year round and knows that the biggest problem on this line is the lack of water.

Liu Ying was shocked, "How could this happen? Aren't they all connected to tap water?"

"You look like a learned person, why do you say something so devoid of common sense? Where does the tap water come from? Isn't there a water source?

This is the case in the north. There is no water in the rivers in spring, and groundwater cannot be pumped up. Seasonal droughts are prone to occur.

It's not too cold now. You can put on two more layers of clothes and wait a little longer before reaching the station. "After saying this, the flight attendant warmed his hands and ran back to put on his cotton coat.

Only then did Liu Ying realize that she was naive. She did have connections in her family, but she had no common sense.

Before leaving home, her parents told her that if she had any difficulties, just look for someone. In addition to Peng Dalin, their family had other relatives.

But that would be useful only at the station. Who should she ask for help now on the train?

In fact, the water cutoff had been foreshadowed for a long time. As early as yesterday, the water in the toilets and washrooms stopped.

Fortunately, today's toilets are direct-draining and do not require water to flush. As long as passengers don't care, they can still be used, so no one takes it seriously at all.

Seeing the flight attendant adding cotton-padded jackets, Liu Ying suddenly realized a big problem. The boilers had stopped and they would definitely not boil water again. What should she drink next?

"It's okay. We only have a day or two to go. Even if we don't drink water, we will still be thirsty."

"At least I still have a few bites saved. I just need to moisten them a bit at the critical moment."

At this critical moment, the passengers showed extraordinary wisdom and took stock of their inventory.

Whether it's an enamel jar or an aluminum lunch box, everyone has some water saved. As long as you sip it, you can definitely make it to the end.

Liu Ying didn't have a drop of water. She wrapped herself in a quilt, feeling cold, thirsty, and shivering.

Yuan Ni slowly took out a jar from under the bed, opened it in front of Liu Ying, poured herself a glass of cool water, and drank half of the glass.

Two drops of water slowly trickled down from the corners of her mouth, seeping into the cotton coat and disappearing.

Seeing these two drops of water, Liu Ying's throat moved.

"Oh, classmate Xiao Liu, do you still have water? I just went to the dining car. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. They stopped serving meals and couldn't even bring out a bowl of soup.

Next, I can only endure it for a while and just stick to the station. We live in a sister unit, so they must have been prepared. "Peng Dalin didn't have any water to drink, so he ran over and talked nonchalantly. The more he talked, the drier his mouth became.

Liu Ying shook her head. She didn't want to say more, and she didn't want to waste her words with Peng Dalin.

Peng Dalin muttered a few words, mainly to express his attitude. He could not do anything about Liu Ying's situation, and then left.

He had already asked the flight attendant, and the worst-case scenario was that he had nothing to eat or drink.

But under normal circumstances, even if you don't eat or drink for a few days, you won't die, you will just suffer a little.

Yuanni brought a lot of luggage, mainly for food, drink and clothing. That night, she had pickled snow red stir-fried minced pork with pot helmets.

This stuff is very fragrant, but a little salty, but Yuanni is not afraid, she has plenty of water.

Dr. Hou and Mr. Lu also ate well, and the smell of food was everywhere in the carriage.

Liu Ying covered her head with a quilt, and no one asked her if she was hungry.

The common situation nowadays is that there are too many people but not much food, and there is not much inventory. If you ask, you have to treat people. No one is stupid.

The green train was going fast and slow, and something happened on the way, which delayed the trip.

Two full days later, the train arrived at the station. The moment she got off the train, Liu Ying's legs became weak and she almost stumbled to the platform.

"Oh, my God, I'm so thirsty. We've arrived at the station. Hurry up and get some water." Peng Dalin was hungry and thirsty. When he greeted everyone to leave the station, his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.

Unlike what Peng Dalin expected, Yuan Ni got out of the car easily.

She had a lot of luggage, but it was mainly for food, drink and clothing. Along the way, many things were eaten, clothes were added to her body, and her luggage was greatly reduced. She easily got out of the car with a duffel bag in one hand.

Is there water at the station?

Reality gave Peng Dalin a loud slap in the face.

Although it was already March, there was no green at all at the small station. The trees were withered and yellow, and the strong wind was blowing. Many dead branches were broken and swirled in the air.

Peng Dalin covered his eyes with his hands and ran to the station office to ask about the situation and asked for boiled water.

"You are going to the Hutu River. It is still far away from this place. It is still eighty miles away." The staff made a gesture and it seemed to be a very far away place.

"Is it still that far away?" Peng Dalin didn't think about transportation for the time being. He pointed at his throat and said, "Can I give you a drink of water? If you don't have boiled water, cold water will do."

The staff member shook his head and said, "We are short of water here in spring. The water has been supplied per capita these two days. If I give you the water, I will have no water to drink."

Peng Dalin was speechless. He never thought in his wildest dreams that there would be such a water shortage.

Fortunately, the person who picked me up had already arrived. He was a deputy station manager from a brother unit.

After listening to Peng Dalin describe the tragic situation along the way, the deputy station commander smiled understandingly and took a military water bottle from his shoulder.

"It's pretty good here. You haven't reached the Hutu River yet. The Hutu River is even more lacking in water."

Peng Dalin's eyes lit up when he saw the kettle. He was about to take a swig when he heard the other party say, "We have to drive eighty miles next, which will take half a day. You can give this jug of water to everyone first." Moisturize."

Only then did Peng Dalin realize that this jug of water was not for him alone, but for all team members who were short of water.

Everyone was more or less prepared on the road, and the thirstiest ones were Peng Dalin and Liu Ying.

Peng Dalin looked at the kettle with some reluctance, but finally gritted his teeth and gave the kettle to Liu Ying. The other party took several sips before returning the kettle to Peng Dalin.

The other team members also took a sip, and when everyone finished drinking, the water bottle was empty.

Yuan Ni and Mr. Lu did not participate in the water sharing. They brought plenty of water. After drinking enough in the car, the remaining water was poured into military kettles and carried on their backs. Now the military kettles are full, and theirs Very confident.

A big truck came to pick up the station. The deputy stationmaster respected the elderly and the young and gave up the cab to Mr. Lu and Dr. Hou. He climbed into the truck with the big guys. Whatever, just take it out and cover it."

Before getting out of the car, Yuan Ni took out her scarf and gauze scarf. She first put on the gauze mask, then covered her head and face with the gauze scarf, and finally tied the scarf.

Everyone else is also making preparations.

Liu Ying frowned and opened her duffel bag and rummaged through it.

She also had a scarf, but it was a beautiful silk scarf, long and narrow, covering the top of her head but not her neck.

This is how to do?

At this moment, the truck started moving. When the truck moved, I couldn't even open my mouth. As long as I opened my mouth, sand would pour in.

Liu Ying quickly covered her mouth with a silk scarf, but in this way, the back of her neck was exposed again.

Just when she was in a hurry, someone suddenly handed over a big scarf and said, "Use this."

Liu Ying looked up and saw that the other party was...
