At the beginning, the whole family fled from famine, and I used a milk bottle as a koi carp

Chapter 8 Finding the Water Source
  Everyone excitedly surrounded the wild boar, looking left and right. They were so excited that they couldn't speak for a while. With such a big wild boar, everyone can always share something, especially the dozen or so people they were hunting.

The two wild boars were carried happily, and everyone was still not satisfied. They felt that if there were a few more, they would be no problem.

An Ningning said with a smile, "Routu, Rourou, eat again." Hahaha, it felt like this mental power was in vain.

Boss An also excitedly bumped his daughter who was sitting on his neck twice, making An Ningning giggle.

There was laughter for a while.

"Water, water, water," An Ningning reminded everyone who was about to carry the wild boar back.

Boss An thought of it, so he suggested: "Let eight people carry these two wild boars back first, and the remaining few of us can go ahead and find some water!"

Liu Erhu had no objection and took the remaining people forward to look for water.

Everyone followed the road and looked for places where wild boars often live. Following the road, I found a smelly, dried-up small puddle. Looking at the feces and thirst, it seems that it is the place where wild boars used to live.

But looking at the size of this small mud pit, it feels like there are more than just these two wild boars!
  Everyone hesitated for a while. If they encountered a few more wild boars, could they be captured so easily?
  Everyone was a little afraid to confirm. It was too easy for these two wild boars to fight, and everyone couldn't believe it.

Boss An asked nervously: "Brothers Erhu, are there more than two wild boars here! There is such a big excrement here!"

Liu Erhu looked around, thought about it and said: "It stands to reason that there should be more than one, but the mud has been dried up, and I don't know when it was done. It's hard to say whether there are still wild boars.

We had better look for it quickly, and if there is no water source, we should leave quickly. "

An Ningning released her mental power and sensed that there were indeed no wild boars within a radius of 60 meters.

Moving forward and walking along the road for a while, there were fewer and fewer traces of wild boar activity, and finally everyone had to go back the same way.

Everyone returned to the quagmire where wild boars lived, a little unwilling to do so. They hadn't encountered water for many days, and they didn't know what was going on ahead.

Several people unanimously decided to look for it along the other way down. Maybe there is one?

The further you go, the more bare rocks there are and the fewer trees there are, making it less like a place with water.

When everyone was almost giving up, they suddenly felt that the humidity of the soil under their feet was obviously different from before. After digging with a knife a few times, it was obvious that the humidity of the soil was higher than that of the wild boar quagmire just now.

Unexpectedly, the previous road was from the small quagmire downwards, and no water source was found. This is the other direction from the small quagmire upwards, and the soil moisture here is higher than that side.

This should be the right direction.

Liu Erhu suggested: "This direction should be correct. Let's look for it along the way."

"What if it's not right?" Another villager, An Erniu, said.

The An family and the Liu family are two common surnames in the village. Almost everyone in the village has these two surnames. There is inevitably a bit of friction, and there are quite a few people who dislike each other.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, without making a decision for a while.

An Ningning tugged on Boss An's ears, and Boss An said as if by telepathy: "It doesn't matter if we take a walk, it's good to find it. It's just a waste of time to find it. We haven't had water for several days. There is no water source." At that point, it won’t last more than a few days.”

After saying that, he didn't dare anyone else, and walked ahead with his daughter on his back.

Someone decided, and the people in the village continued to follow. Everyone walked and walked, and when their legs were about to break, they finally found a place with a little water flowing among some rocks behind the uphill slope.

To say it was a stream would be too small.

Where the water comes out, it flows down from between several big rocks. There is a place where the water accumulates, which is about the size of a washbasin at home, a little deeper, and then the overflow continues to flow down along the cracks in the rocks.

The water in the small pool is very clear. The flowing water hits the rocks, and a lot of moss grows nearby.

Everyone was very excited to finally find water. Several people ran over happily and drank the water.

Boss An shouted excitedly next to him, "Stop it, stop it, fill up the water storage device you brought first. The young and old men in the village are waiting for water!"

No one objected. Boss An was a filial son and had always had a good reputation in the village. When he said this, other people in the village had no objection. Everyone took turns to carefully pour some water, and only three water bags were filled. The small pool was almost bottomed out.

The water flow was not very fast, so everyone sat and waited. The water was too shallow, but at least the water was coming out, and more would come out later.

An Erniu made a suggestion next to him, "This water is too small. Why don't we bring some water back later? Bring some larger buckets to store water tomorrow. Fill up everyone's water storage and drink enough." Let's walk and get on the road again. I don't know when I will encounter water later.

Look, this water source is only so big. I guess all the prey nearby have moved away. "

Everyone didn't have any objections. They mainly followed the villagers. How could they do it without water? Originally, the village chief had a day off and asked everyone to hunt for prey and find water sources.

The only bad thing is that the water source is too small and the flow will stop at some point. Otherwise, it would be better to stay here for a few more days.

Everyone waited for a long time, filled everyone's water bags, drank enough water, and returned the same way.

When the group of people who found the water source came back, the place where the village was temporarily stationed was already very lively. The village chief was greeting the people in the village to cook butchered vegetables.

They were even happier when they saw the second group of people find the water source, and immediately poured some more water into the pot. I couldn't find a water source before, and I didn't dare to drain the existing water. Now it's better, and everyone can drink soup.

The dolls in the village were all watching the big pot and drooling as if they were celebrating the New Year.

When Sanbao saw his father and sister coming back, he immediately gathered around them and asked questions. Boss An found Mrs. An with two water bags, gave them to Mrs. An, and asked her to distribute them.

The An family was not divided into separate houses. Everything was concentrated at Mrs. An's house and distributed uniformly.

An's second brother moved to his elder brother's side and asked some questions about the hunting situation.

Other families in the village happily talked about what happened in small groups, and one could feel everyone's excitement.

Liu Erhu was reporting to the village chief about the water source, "It's best to take another day off and fill everyone's buckets."

The village chief didn't have any objections. It would be nice to have as many people as possible, as few as possible, and so on. It was uncertain when we would be able to find water sources on the road.

Although there was only enough water to drink, it was not bad. Anyway, we all buried Tai together and hadn't taken a shower for a long time, but it was not so annoying after all.

In the evening, everyone held a big bowl and ate hard, and almost no one spoke for a while.

An Ningning ate wild boar meat. Although it was a bit fishy, ​​it was so delicious that she almost made her cry. Since she fled the wilderness, she occasionally hunted some pheasants and hares, but the big family members only got a few pieces each.

Nothing like today, full control!
