Fortunately, because the rain was heavy and fast, the fire in Runing Mansion was extinguished by the rain in a short while.
It really is a timely relief.
"Pitch up the tent!"
When the officers saw it was raining, they became anxious.
They were so anxious that they helped those people set up the tents with their own hands, for fear that they would be infected with gonorrhea.
It is said that when these people first started their journey, they encountered a heavy rain on the road.
The last batch of officers who escorted them were too lazy, and many of them got sick from being caught in the rain.
The officers had no choice but to buy medicine for them out of their own pockets.
Because I spent too much and felt sad, I finally had evil thoughts and made a big mistake.
Not only were those officers who were sent back imprisoned, but those who were not beheaded were at least exiled three thousand miles away.
They didn't want to become the escort officers of the previous group, so they were really worried about these people.
Setting up the tent was a piece of cake for this group of people. The tent was already set up before they even got wet in the rain.
Also because of the leadership of the Meng family, these people pick up dry firewood when they see it on the road, and now every household has enough firewood.
The tent door was left open and a fire was lit to cook.
Some elderly people saw that the raindrops were as big as beans and were falling fast and fiercely, so they took out all the empty basins and other things in their homes to collect the rainwater.
[The rainwater must be used immediately after it settles for a while. It cannot be kept for too long, because parasites will grow in it after a while.
If you want to eat or drink, you must boil it first.
Meng Liqian listened to his aunt's thoughts and saw several children in the tent next to him, all opening their mouths to catch the rain.
He didn't understand what a parasite was, but it was definitely a bug.
"You can't drink it directly. There are bugs in this rainwater. You have to boil it before you can drink it."
[Oh, my nephew is so smart, he even knows there are bugs in the rainwater!
How can he be so smart? Who told him this? 】
Everyone in the Meng family thought that maybe Meng Liqian had heard Fubao's thoughts?
Everyone looked at him.
"You silly boy, you're so stupid.
This rain is falling from the sky. What kind of insect is in the sky? Can you find it for me? "
The child who was reminded not only did not listen to Meng Liqian, but also laughed at him.
Meng Liqian was not angry either.
"The book says that if there are insects in the water, it will become turbid.
Look at this freshly caught rainwater, it's muddy, so you can't drink it!"
Meng Liqian happened to have read this book.
Although he is young, he often reads books when he has nothing to do at home.
He also likes reading, and the books he reads are quite diverse.
Of course he couldn't possibly know so many words.
He started his education when he was less than three years old, and the number of words he knew was limited.
But he has many uncles, and they all know how to read.
When he had nothing to do, he would pester his uncles to read to him and teach him the words he didn't recognize in the books.
When Meng Shuqiu, who was often pestered by his nephew, heard this, he had no doubt that his nephew had heard his sister's thoughts.
He was the one who read this article to me, and I still remember it clearly.
[Oh, this is incredible! My nephew is so knowledgeable!
It seems like he has the potential to be a top scholar in the future! 】
Meng Shuyan really thought that it was amazing that a child who was only a little over four years old could quote from classics like this!
She really felt it was amazing.
Meng Liqian was very happy to be praised by his aunt.
"You're talking nonsense. The water is clearly clean and there's nothing in it."
The child who caught the water with his mouth was much older than Meng Liqian. He was very unconvinced and did not believe what he said.
"If you don't believe me, forget it. If you drink rainwater, those worms will get into your stomach and grow big, and you'll have a stomachache."
"He's right."
Zhou Chuanbai came over to speak for Meng Liqian.
Meng Liqian didn't expect Zhou Chuanbai to help him, and gave him a friendly smile.
The adults who were working nearby thought it was just a joke between children, but since Doctor Zhou's grandson had spoken, they started to take it seriously.
Doctor Zhou’s grandson is also a young doctor, and he knows a lot.
Last time when those officers were injured, Doctor Zhou's grandson helped treat and bandage their wounds, and his work was no worse than those of the old doctors.
Very impressive!
Since he said so, it must be true.
"Now that I've drunk all this, what should I do?
Is there really a worm in his stomach?"
Those children who caught rainwater in their mouths were pulled back to the tent by their parents and asked Zhou Chuanbai anxiously.
Some people also asked Dr. Zhou directly.
"Doctor Zhou, do you think this is true?
The kids have already drunk it, so they'll be alright, right?"
“What the child said is indeed true.
But they didn't drink much, so they should do it less in the future.
I was lucky enough to escape it this time, but I may not be so lucky next time.
This water needs to be boiled before drinking."
Everyone understood and decided not to let children play with water or drink water outside.
When I see him, I slap him in the face.
Because it was raining again, the food supply was getting less and less, and there was nothing to replenish in Runing Prefecture. Everyone was very frugal and just had to eat whatever they could.
They were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when suddenly there was a loud noise coming from several low-lying tents. It turned out that the oilcloth under them had taken on water.
In the night watch tent, someone heard the sound and went to see what was going on with an umbrella and a torch. It turned out that the water on the lower side had already reached the ankles, so he slowly entered the tent.
"How can I sleep like this? My clothes are all wet, oh my god..."
"Okay, stop crying.
