Chapter 21: Prisoners fight for water
that's it.
Because of several accidental deaths among escorts, other escorts hurriedly drove the convicts on their way.
It was not until they arrived at the next reception center for fugitives that they realized something was wrong.
"Why is there only so little water?"
"Is this water drinkable?"
"This water is not as good as the one we found in the ravine."
When the prisoners saw the water provided by the reception center, they all frowned and talked about it.
Ye Fei looked at the turbid water in front of him without moving.
She and Ye Qingyun and others looked at each other, and they all realized the seriousness of the matter.
Although the prisoners' daily diet was not good, at least the water along the way was drinkable.
This was the first time Ye Fei had encountered water like today.
She had an ominous premonition...
Not only were the prisoners talking about it, but even the escorts began to complain: "What's going on? Is this water suitable for drinking?"
"Damn it, it's already so hot, and now there's not even a decent drink of water."
"I can't even swallow dry food."
"What do you mean? Are you trying to embarrass us?"
In the face of the guards' questions and the prisoners' complaints, the reception staff responded without hesitation:
"Don't be picky."
"No matter how picky you are, you can't even drink water like this."
"Now that it's getting hotter, there's simply not enough water."
"We still spent a lot of effort to store this kind of water."
However, seeing the increasingly unhappy expression on the escort's face, the person at the reception desk finally added:
"Of course, you are the escorts."
"You definitely can't drink the same water as the prisoners. The water you drink is over here."
The escorts' faces looked much better now.
They turned around and looked at the other prisoners and shouted, "Stop looking and complaining. It's good enough to have something to drink."
"Didn't you hear what the people here said? There's no water."
"If you dislike this kind of water, then just bear with your thirst."
After saying that, the escorts went to replenish the water and food they needed.
As for whether the prisoners would drink the dirty and turbid water, it was not within the consideration of the escorts.
Ye Qingyun looked at this scene and couldn't help but reached out and touched the water bag on his waist and sighed:
"Fei'er, I'm lucky to have you."
"Otherwise, we'll just have to drink water like this."
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with some concern: "Look at this damn weather, is there going to be a drought?"
"If that's the case, then...how many people will die of thirst and starvation due to drought..."
Lin Xue'e quickly interrupted Ye Qingyun: "Don't talk nonsense, you're such a bad person."
Ye Qingyun shook his head and looked at Lin Xue'e helplessly: "I'm not talking nonsense, this is already a sign."
The summer is hot and hot, which is a normal climate feature.
But Ye Fei knew that there was a fine line between heat and drought.
The high temperature and heat may turn into drought at any time.
The water provided by the people at the reception center not only made Ye Fei and his friends think about the serious consequences of drought.
The other convicts had the same thought at the same time.
After all, they are all authentic ancient people.
In ancient times, people depended on the weather for their livelihood.
Now that this situation has occurred, the exiles have sensitively realized that this is a very dangerous signal.
After a while of disdain, one of the prisoners finally licked his cracked lips and spoke:
"Don't be picky, just drink it."
"If you don't drink it now, the water will be dried up by the sun."
"By then, I really won't be able to drink a single sip."
"It's not clean. You won't get sick after drinking it."
"If you guys don't drink, I'll drink first."
Some of the fugitives were the first to drink the turbid and dirty water.
After the first beginning, there will be the second and the third.
Especially when they thought about the possibility of drought, the convicts suddenly became panic-stricken.
At this time, they didn't care whether the water was clean or drinkable.
The convicts at this time no longer had their previous expressions of disgust and complaints.
They all swarmed over and started scrambling to drink the unclean water.
I was afraid that if I was a step slower, there would not even be any water left.
The crowd was scrambling for water, and from time to time, various noises could be heard:
"Don't rush, don't rush, don't spill the water."
"Don't push, don't push..."
"Let me out. If you don't let me out, how can you come here to drink?"
"Be careful not to waste this water."
Ye Fei looked at this scene, and took Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling and quietly moved away from these fugitives.
Anyway, they have water bags on their bodies.
Ye Fei felt that there was no need for their family to join in.
At times like this, trampling and bloodshed can easily occur.
When lives are at stake, human nature is at its truest.
All this kindness and goodness are fake.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
However, what Ye Fei did not expect was that Ye Qingfeng, the old lady of the Ye family and Wang Xiangjun also stayed away from the crowd.
In the absence of water, they were able to remain calm and command their family members to cooperate with each other:
"If you want to drink water, please queue up and wait."
"Come one by one, don't cut in line and don't rush."
"The rest of you, please be alert and watch your surroundings, just in case."
The entire Ye family, plus Wang Xiangjun's family, had already occupied several water tanks.
So after discovering the water shortage, Ye Qingfeng and Wang Xiangjun immediately made arrangements.
Those who want to drink water must queue up in an orderly manner.
The others were on guard all around to prevent other fugitives from coming to loot.
In this way, they formed a sharp contrast with other exiles.
"As expected of the Grand Master and Imperial Censor, you are quite capable."
Ye Fei muttered quietly for a few times, and then looked at Ye Qingyun:
"Dad, do you know where the other prisoners came from?"
Ye Qingyun looked at the chaotic prisoners and shook his head: "I don't know."
"You also know that Dad has not entered the court and rarely comes to the capital."
"But judging from their appearance, they should be servants or maids from other families or some side branches."
Ye Fei was a little surprised: "Aren't all the servants and maids sold off because their masters confiscated their property and exiled them?"
"Why would they be exiled along with me?"
When Ye Qingyun heard this, his eyes suddenly became evasive.
He hesitantly explained: "Not necessarily."
"Some will be sent to frontier military camps."
Military camp...
When Ye Fei heard about Ye Qingyun's appearance in the military camp again, she suddenly had an idea.
This means she is being sent to the military camp to serve as a military prostitute!
But, the maid is still acceptable.
Even the servants were sent there... There were so many talented people in the ancient military camp...
Just when Ye Fei was gossiping and her eyes were full of pink bubbles of rotten girls, someone from the Ye family suddenly came up to chat with her:
"Why don't you go over and get some water?"
Ye Fei immediately looked over with sharp eyes.
The person who came was a young girl who looked two or three years older than Ye Fei.
As soon as Ye Qingyun, Lin Xue'e and Ye Ling saw the direct descendants of the Ye family, they immediately pulled Ye Fei back several steps.
Ye Fei: (ー_ー)!!
