Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Doctor Qiao was stunned for a moment when his name was suddenly called, and then he realized that Ergou thought that the idea of ​​filtering water was his.

This kid is also stupid.

Why didn't he think about it? They had been traveling together for at least a month. If it was his idea, would he have waited until now to come up with it? Was it necessary for him to drink the yellow water with a strange smell with them before?

Silly boy.

Doctor Qiao had no intention of stealing the credit. He pointed at Lin Xiaoyue who was sitting on the ground beside him and said, "This was her idea. She also made the things. You should ask her, not me."

???

I was shocked.

Er Gouzi looked at Lin Xiaoyue in confusion. This little girl? No way.

Not really. He had indeed just witnessed with his own eyes that the skinny girl in front of him calmly and composedly assigned tasks to each person from beginning to end, while she put things into the bucket one by one. It seemed messy, but the girl was actually doing it in an orderly manner.

Er Gouzi opened his mouth halfway, and it took him a long time to find his voice. He heard himself saying, "Miss, I want to ask if the villagers in my village can also come over to get clean water, is that okay?"

After a long while, Er Gou thought that Lin Xiaoyue was unwilling to pay attention to him, when a cold voice came, "Okay, before sunset, I want to take back the barrel and the charcoal inside."

"Of course, of course. I spent money to buy these wooden barrels and charcoal. They belong to you and you should take them back." Ergou was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this stern and seemingly cold girl would be so easy to talk to. As for taking back the wooden barrels and charcoal, wasn't that natural?

As a countryman, who doesn't treasure even a mop cloth? Unless it is torn to pieces and can no longer be used, they will not be willing to throw it away, not to mention such a large wooden barrel and charcoal, which are worth a lot of money.

"Pack it up later and bring it to me."

"Okay, okay, it's my duty. I'd like to thank the little girl on behalf of the folks in our village. Thank you, thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, Ergou ran away for a long distance.

Lin Xiaoyue was impatient to deal with trivial matters, so she waved her hand and fanned herself.

The weather was so hot that it made people irritable. She just wanted to get some water quickly and go back to find a cool place to escape the heat. If she continued to roast like this, she felt that she could hear the sound of oil coming out of her body. If she sprinkled some cumin, she would be a delicious skewer of human meat...

Damn, are you starting to have hallucinations?

Lin Xiaoyue shook her head vigorously to get rid of the inappropriate images in her mind, turned around, took out a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water from the space, pinched her nose and drank it.

For a moment, the slightly spicy and burning feeling from the mouth to the stomach stimulated Lin Xiaoyue's mind and made it clear.

Just don't get too carried away.

Lin Xiaoyue licked the corner of her mouth and decided that she would give such a touching thing to her sisters, one for each of them.

Let’s share the happiness!

Sure enough, when Lin Zhaodi and the other two returned with all the containers that could hold water, everyone wanted to pack as much as possible. Lin Xiaoyue was curious, how would they take so many things back later? ? ?

She could understand her family's thoughts. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was becoming more and more difficult to find water. Who knew when they would be able to find water next time?

When Xiaocao and Chunxing came over, they specially led all the livestock over, intending to let the livestock drink their fill.

In this hot weather, people cannot survive without water, and livestock cannot survive either.

Compared to other families, Lin Xiaoyue had more space to spare. Occasionally, she would pull the mule to a blind spot where others could not see her, and quietly prepare a meal for her mule and replenish its water. Therefore, the mule was in much better spirits than the refugees.

But Lin Xiaoyue didn't dare to let the mule drink as much as it wanted, in case the secret was exposed, it would bring disaster.

It's not that she is too cautious, but it's an extraordinary period and she has to think more.

Given the Lin family’s current situation, the items on display are similar to those of most refugees.

In addition to the mental condition of the animals, compared with the livestock of other families that are listless and half-dead, those livestock that may give up their jobs at any time must be kept in much better condition.

But there was no other way. Father Lin's legs had to be taken care of on the cart. If his mule ran out of water, it would die halfway. With Father Lin's character, he would probably grit his teeth and not want to add burden to his family. He would rather get off the cart and walk all the way to the state capital.

Otherwise, Lin Xiaoyue would not give the precious water resources to the mule to drink.

After all, the amount of mineral water in her space was limited. It would not be a problem for her to drink it alone, but with so many people in the Lin family, big and small, if she had to share it equally, the pressure would immediately increase.

Of course, the mule must not drink mineral water, but tap water.

Thanks to the large aquaculture reservoir she bought, she kept the taps open and kept the water flowing into the space for several days. She was afraid that in the end times, clean water would be hard to find, and she didn't have enough money to stock up too much mineral water. Otherwise, how could she supply the livestock?

Xiaocao and Chunxing were leading the animals towards the water filter bucket respectively. Lin Xiaoyue wanted to stop them, but considering Chunxing was there, she bit her lip and swallowed her words.

We can only hope that after two rounds of filtration, the water can really be purified and there will be no adverse reactions for livestock to drink.

Naturally, other people would not know Lin Xiaoyue’s worries.

After the two families had fed their livestock and taken enough water back, Ergou came running over with his widowed mother and the villagers.

Not to mention that I didn’t feel anything before because we were at a distance, but now that I’m close, the stench from those people is really choking.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to stay here any longer, so she quickly pulled everyone away.

Originally, the village chief of Ergou Village wanted to personally express his gratitude to Lin Xiaoyue on behalf of the villagers. But as an old man, his legs and feet couldn't stop shaking after all the hard work. So, he was a little slow to come over, and the person had already run away. The village chief had to turn around and go to get water in disappointment.

Alas, we are so lucky to meet each other.

The old village chief wanted to take this opportunity to get close to her. After all, someone who could come up with a way to purify the water must be a very intelligent person. Regardless of whether she was a girl in her teens as Ergou said, she was talented enough to make friends with her.

Besides, there is still a long way to go. Who can say for sure whether the people in your village can walk all the way to the state capital smoothly? If something happens on the way, you may need to rely on others. If you don't build good relationships in advance, will others be willing to help you?
