Chapter 102 Selling Water, Tanker Truck
"Don't run!" A white-haired old lady jumped out of the car nimbly with a cane and grabbed Nanxing's wrist, fearing that she would run away.
"!!" Nanxing was frightened. What was going on in this village? It was so scary!
Her eyes turned red unconsciously, and she wanted to break free from the old lady's restraints. She cried as soon as she opened her mouth, "Let me go!"
"Awoo awoo--!!" The little wolf seemed to sense Nanxing's fear. He jumped down from the window with great effort and stood in front of her, howling viciously at the old lady.
"Village chief, you scared me!" Britta quickly stepped forward to free Nanxing's wrist from the old lady's restraints and spoke loudly into her ear.
"Scared? She can even tame a wolf cub, so she's not that timid." The old lady waved her hand nonchalantly.
Mayor Ivna's hearing was not very good and she did not hear Nanxing's crying, so Britta could only apologize to her.
"Sorry, sorry, we haven't seen a water seller in a long time, so the mayor is too excited."
"It's okay." Nan Xing rubbed her wrist and shook her head. The wolf cub followed her closely, never leaving her side.
"Water seller! Water seller! We want to buy water!"
As they were talking, the townspeople of Deathbell Town came over panting, each holding a container of water in both hands and gathered around them.
There are old people and children, but basically not many young and middle-aged people.
They pulled down the veils covering their heads and faces, revealing dry and chapped lips, dull, rough and lifeless skin, and pairs of longing eyes.
Nanxing couldn't say no and sighed almost imperceptibly.
“…”
"Ms. Lin Li, what do you think of my previous proposal?" Britta asked immediately.
Nan Xing nodded slightly, her voice sounding a little dry. "I'll keep some for myself too. I'll sell you 1...1200L at most."
The people here are quite simple and honest. If it were her, she would just rob them without changing anything.
"Thank you, thank you!" Britta quickly held Nanxing's hand and kept thanking her.
"What? What did you say? You want to buy durian?" Mayor Ivna said with a stern face, slamming the ground hard with her cane. "We don't have any durian here! This is ridiculous!"
"Mayor Ivna." Britta was at a loss for words and quickly pulled Ivna aside to explain the whole story.
"Oh, good boy, good boy. Grandma will invite you to dinner at home tonight." After listening to Britta's explanation, Ivna looked at Nanxing kindly and nodded with satisfaction.
Nanxing also pulled down her mask and put her goggles on top of her hat, revealing a delicate and fair face that looked very fragile.
"Thank you, Grandma Yvonne." Nan Xing's eyebrows curved, her smile was sweet and lovely, with a hint of red in her eyes.
Britta suddenly felt like she was bullying someone. Without seeing Nanxing, she thought she was an experienced adult.
But when she saw Nanxing's face, Britta realized that Nanxing was not much different from the kids in the town, only about a teenager.
The child is so young, and she has gone through so many hardships and dangers along the way to find her town and wait for her companions here.
As a result, they forced us to buy or sell, which was really too much.
But...but their town really lacks water. Britta lowered her head and dared not look at Nanxing again.
"Then let's line up first. Miss Britta, how many households are there in the town? I only have 1,200L of water. Should I sell it according to the number of people or the number of households?" Nanxing turned to look at Britta and asked seriously.
"Lily, wait a moment." Britta naturally changed her address to Nanxing from Miss Linli to Lily, and pulled Mayor Ivna and Rui to the side to whisper.
After a while, Britta and Rui came over to count the number of people and rearrange them.
"Lily, just give them 25L of water each. I'll go get the tanker truck."
"Okay." Nan Xing nodded, then called out to Britta who was about to leave, "Miss Britta, aren't those people over there coming over?"
Nanxing pointed at a group of people who were peeking around at the edge of the town.
Britta frowned, her voice suddenly cold. "Ignore them. If they come looking for you, just honk your horn. We'll hear you and come right over."
"Did they suddenly appear in the town?" Nan Xing's face was solemn, with a hint of worry.
"Yes, is it the same there?" Britta asked in disbelief.
"Well, it's not just our place, there are also such people in other towns. They are very strange." Nanxing nodded heavily. The players are not only strange, but also cruel.
"Moon Goddess." Britta covered her mouth. What on earth was happening in this world?
"What? What did you say?" Mayor Yvonne asked loudly.
This interrupted the heavy atmosphere between Nanxing and Britta, and the two of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, feeling helpless.
"Forget it, I'll go drive the tanker first." Britta nodded to Nanxing. They would talk about the outsiders later. This deal was more important.
"good."
Nanxing turned on the faucet in the external kitchen, took out the water pipe and started to provide water to the townspeople.
The water containers held by the townspeople are mostly the same, white portable plastic buckets of about 40L.
There are scales on the bucket, which makes it convenient for her to fill it with water.
"Is this bucket sold in the village?" Nanxing asked while filling water. She really needed it.
"Yes, sister, do you want it?" The person holding the water was a little girl. She looked up at Nanxing. Because her ancestors lived in the desert Gobi, her skin was dark yellow and dull, but her eyes were bright and shiny.
"Um."
"Then let me take you there! The store in the town is owned by my sister!" The little girl gave Nanxing a bright smile, looking very cute.
"Well, okay, thank you. Here's the candy, okay?" Nanxing took out a box of brightly colored fruit candies from his pocket.
What came out of the supply box was a very expensive brand in her world, and two boxes came out.
"Can you help me distribute this box to the children in the town?" Nanxing touched her head and said gently.
"Yeah! Thank you, Sister Lily!"
"It's okay." Nan Xing shook his head, and when the water reached the mark, he turned off the faucet and let the next person take over.
…
When the water was half filled, Britta came in a tanker truck. It was very big. Nanxing saw that it could definitely hold more than 5,000L of gasoline.
She estimated it to be around 10,000 litres.
many.
"Lily, I want to ask you one more favor."
"You tell me, if I can do it."
"Can you drive this car with us to the desert oasis to get water?" Britta pointed at the Compass RV and asked with an embarrassed look on her face.
