Seeing her admiring eyes, Zili felt a little embarrassed and looked away.

“I have the solution, but I don’t have the tools…”

"What tools do we need? Can't we just find a way to solve it?" Shu Miao was puzzled.

"Sieve and water..." When Zili said this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Who would hold on to a sieve while running for their life?

What's more, they had never been to this mountain before, and they didn't know where to find water. The river water was very turbid and could not be used at all. Even drinking water was not enough.

Hearing this, Shu Miao couldn't help but frown. The sieve was easy to deal with. She had several of them in her space. When the time came, she could just find an excuse to go for a walk by the river.

The water source is indeed a bit troublesome...

Her mind raced, and she suddenly thought of the free hot water being distributed at the resettlement site. Doesn't that just mean there must be a water source nearby?

Thinking of this, Shu Miao hooked her finger towards Zi Li and whispered in his ear,

"Well, just tell them that our millet is about to sprout and needs to be taken care of quickly. It needs a lot of water..."

After giving the order, Shu Miao specifically pointed to the young comrade who was standing guard and watching over the livestock.

Unlike yesterday when she was exhausted and had no energy to pay much attention, she discovered early this morning that most of these PLA comrades were young.

They don't have the strictness of the old comrades at all. It's obvious that these are all new recruits!

This makes things much easier!

Otherwise, if another veteran asked, he would immediately discover that the two people's behavior was abnormal.

He patted Zili's shoulder with encouragement in his eyes, signaling him to go quickly.

Zili took nervous steps, looking back every step like a young wife, which made Shu Miao hold his forehead with his hands.

I simply chose to turn a blind eye and lowered my head to start working. I first poured some of the millet into the iron pot and then covered it with a layer of cloth.

Then he dragged the millet into the tent, and quietly put half of the millet in the sack into the space.

After roughly thinking about how to avoid Zili's inspection later, he carried the sack and lifted the curtain.

I looked up at Zili and saw him pointing in a direction. I gestured back at him and pointed to the iron pot at his feet, then immediately walked in that direction with the sack on my shoulder.

As soon as we walked into the forest, we found that the weeds on the roadside had been cut down, and the cut weeds were padded on the ground to form a non-slip path.

Now she knew which way to go without Zili having to tell her, and she ran straight along the path at full speed.

He was afraid that Zili would catch up and find that the amount of grain he was carrying was wrong.

I don’t know how long I ran, but just when Shu Miao’s legs were shaking with exhaustion, I suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.

Hope was just around the corner, and Shu Miao immediately recovered to full health and quickened his pace.

Soon the view became clear. There was a big puddle in front of us. There were obvious traces of human intervention around the puddle. It was obvious why.

After taking a quick look around, Shu Miao quickly poured some grain back into the sack and even lifted it up to test the weight.

After making sure that he could carry the weight, he quietly hid it in the grass nearby and then ran out at full speed.

He had only run a few steps when he ran into Zili, who was panting and carrying an iron pot. He told him where the sack was and said, "I'll go find the sieve!"

In fact, she turned around and ran back to the location of her own awning, glanced in the direction of the medical tent, and immediately entered the tent with a bag of soaked peanuts.

He calculated the time while peeling the peanuts. When he saw that it was almost time, he packed up the peanut shells and turned around to take a walk in the woods.

He found a secluded place, took out two wet sieves and a few small bags, and carried the last small amount of millet back to the water hole.

Just then, he saw Zili adding water to the pot, and soon a layer of husks floated in the pot. He then carefully fished out the husks and piled them on a stone nearby.

Shu Miao immediately stepped forward to join in without saying a word, and quickly figured out this new method of shelling.

First, pour the millet into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and rub it with both hands in the water.

After most of the husks are rubbed off, pour them directly into the sieve, then immerse the sieve in water and use the buoyancy to filter out the husks.

Although the husk is a bit rough and the rice grains have been softened to a certain extent, the taste and nutrition of the cooked rice are definitely less than that of fresh rice, but it is still a fine grain, right?

After getting a part of the water, they would quietly hide it in the grass, for fear that someone would suddenly come to fetch water and find out that they had so much millet.

Fortunately, I don’t know if it was because of their good luck today or God was helping them, but no one had ever come here.

By noon, Shu Miao and Zi Li were not only starving, but their hands were also numb from rubbing each other.

Li Qiao limped over carrying a big bucket and a bag of peanuts.

After distributing the peanuts to the two children, he immediately took over their work and asked about their next plans.

Shu Miao ate the somewhat soft peanuts and immediately realized that it was the bag of soaked peanuts. Doesn't that mean that the aunt must have known their next plan a long time ago?

The reason she asked this was obviously to test her independence.

Knowing that the following answer had nothing to do with him, Shu Miao ate peanuts with peace of mind and listened to Yizui Li talking.

It’s no wonder that with the aunt’s participation, the efficiency of rubbing the grains instantly increased a lot, and finally the grains were completely screened by mid-afternoon.

When the few of them carried their things and walked back, they were inevitably noticed.
