The daily life of the devil's wife

Chapter 237

"Bath?"

Looking at the old man in front of him in surprise, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned.

He had never heard of anyone taking a bath early in the morning, and it was still in Shuiyun Country, a country short of water.

You must know that although the name of Shuiyun Country has a word for water, the water source in the whole country is extremely lacking, not to mention bathing, and even the daily diet is difficult to satisfy.

Today, in order to entertain them, he has already used most of the water in the government office to cook half a pot of porridge, and now they say they want to take a bath, isn't that killing him.

Thinking about it, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, with an apologetic smile on the corner of his mouth: "You must be foreigners, right?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It's no wonder." As he said that, the middle-aged man's face showed a trace of helplessness: "Everyone must not know that the price of water in Shuiyun Kingdom is comparable to gold. Don't talk about bathing, ordinary people in the city People, even their daily diet is a problem.”

After the words fell, the old man was slightly surprised.

He originally thought that only the suburbs would be short of water. As the capital of the Shuiyun Kingdom, this shouldn't be the case.

Unexpectedly, the water shortage in Shuiyun Country is so short.

"Why is this happening?" Jun Moli said coldly.

Hearing her question, Zhuo Hao also suddenly remembered that he had read in the book before that among the many small countries, Shuiyun Kingdom had the most abundant water resources.

Why now...

Slightly frowning, Zhuo Hao looked at the middle-aged man puzzled: "I heard that there is a large river in Shuiyun Country, so it shouldn't be so short of water."

"Hey, there is indeed a river on the border of our country, and that river was indeed our mother river in the past. But now... the water there is highly poisonous, you can't drink it!"

"Very poisonous?"

"Yes."

"Even so, the poisonous river water can be used for bathing." Zhuo Hao was even more puzzled.

"We really thought this way before, but since someone bathed in river water and died of skin ulceration, we never dare to do it again."

"..."

silence……

The surrounding air became a little dignified due to the sudden silence.

Zhuo Hao looked at Jun Moli, then at the old man, and seeing that they were silent, he knew that the matter was more serious than he thought.

The middle-aged men didn't know what they were thinking, and just immersed themselves in the pain: "The drinking water used in the city is all brought back by merchants from other countries. Because the resources are limited, the price of water is naturally expensive. Outrageous."

"So that's how it is." Nodding slightly, the old man looked at Bai Lan at the side, thinking that Jun Moli had given her three barrels of holy spring water before, and suddenly felt distressed.

Turning his head to look at the middle-aged man, the old man's eyes lit up: "There is an inn on the outskirts of the city with many white silks tied on it. There are three big buckets of water in the inn. You can order someone to fetch it for temporary use."

"No, it's mine."

"You are going to leave with us, do you still care about that little water?"

"I..." Biting her lips lightly, Bai Lan was momentarily at a loss for words.

She has never used the three buckets of water, just waiting to sell them for money and buy some delicious food for the children.

In the end, the water she managed to save was actually cheaper than the guy in front of her. Thinking about it, she felt very angry.

Seeing Bai Lan's stingy appearance, the old man was very happy: "My lord, please order someone to prepare a bucket for bathing. We have prepared warm water ourselves."

"Yes, yes, I will let someone prepare it."
