Chapter 2246 Water Shortage
General Meng hesitated. He had to pacify the bandits and horse thieves inside the pass first, and then he would have the energy to take care of things outside the pass. It was obviously not cost-effective to divide the troops to chase a few people now.
But when he thought of Yin or their identities, he felt a little headache.
It’s okay if you don’t know, but once you know, you can’t just sit back and do nothing.
So he thought for a moment and said, "First, treat the survivors, then interrogate them and find out where their lair is. If it's not too far away, then send troops to wipe out their lair."
The lieutenant replied "Yes".
General Meng was beaten up and when he limped back he heard that his father was still considering whether to pursue the man or not, so he immediately covered his butt and went to find his father.
How could he not avenge such a great insult? He had to pursue her, and not only that, he had to pursue her personally.
Finally, General Meng scolded him and kicked him out of the house. He said, "You ignorant brat, do you think fighting in the desert is easy? Do you know the way? Can you find water or drink horse urine?"
At this time, Manbao and his group, who were well prepared, also felt the cruelty of the desert because they had little water left.
Although they had prepared enough drinking water, the consumption in the desert was still higher than they expected.
Manbao has started to save water subconsciously. It seems that next time she will have to ask Keke to help her fill some water...
What should I use to install it?
You can't just put away a jar for no reason, so just buy one in the mall.
Manbao was lost in thought. Since she was the only one in the carriage, her consciousness sank into the mall. Suddenly, she remembered that since she could buy storage devices in the mall, why couldn't she buy water?
Manbao's eyes lit up and he immediately typed "water" into the mall. Many pages came out, but they didn't seem to be for drinking. There were some drinkable water, but they looked different from normal water.
Manbao poked it, thought about it, and then entered natural water.
Several pages appeared. Manbao glanced at the title. "One ton of water for twenty points"—her eyes suddenly lit up. Keke couldn't help but remind her, "Host, don't you check the delivery distance and cost?"
Manbao then looked at the small words below. She said: ...
Manbao lay on the couch and didn't move. As expected, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
Manbao poked around in the mall and finally bought a 20-liter barrel of water. Although the price was also 20 points, at least the transportation cost was not very high, only 20 points, the same price as water. Now he didn't even have to buy a container, because it was already packaged when it was sent to him.
Manbao took down the bamboo tube hanging on the carriage, filled it with water, and then leaned out to hand the water to Daji, "Daji, take it to the master."
Daji glanced at the bamboo tube in her hand and declined, "Miss Man, there is still some water in the car. You should keep it for yourself."
Manbao shook his head, "Send it to the master. Other water can be less, but drinking water cannot be less."
Da Yu came up on horseback from behind, stared at the bamboo tube and said, "If you don't take it, I will."
Daji took it, turned around and left without even looking at him.
Manbao leaned over the window and talked to him, "How long will it take before there's an oasis?"
Da Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It won't be long. I remember there should be a ditch further ahead. Back then, it took us about ten days to walk there from the town. We were walking pretty fast. If we can't get there today, we should be able to get there tomorrow."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became more energized and sped up.
Mr. Zhuang took Manbao's bamboo tube, poured a few mouthfuls of water into his own bamboo tube, and gave the rest to Daji to return.
Daji walked around the team with the wooden barrel, and finally Bai Shan brought back the bamboo tube. Because the weather was hot, they almost never rode horses except in the morning and evening. This not only saved some energy, but also used less water.
Bai Shan jumped directly from the horse to the car, got in, and handed her bamboo tube to her, "Why did you give all your water to others?"
Manbao glanced at him, put the bamboo tube away, and said to Keke excitedly, "One more!"
But Koko couldn't help her unscrew the lid of the bamboo tube and pour water into it, so her excited command only echoed in her mind, and then nothing happened.
Manbao and Baishan just stared at each other.
Bai Shan glanced at her empty hands and sat waiting, but when she just stared at him with wide eyes for a long time without making any move, he felt uneasy and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou, do you want to tell me something in private?"
Manbao's eyes were a little vague, and he whispered, "Why don't you go to the shaft and wait for me."
Bai Shan had no objection, so he respectfully sat on the shaft of the cart first and helped her keep watch.
The driver didn't understand why the young master came out, and his body was a little stiff, but he sat on the shaft without moving, so he didn't dare to ask. He could only pat the horse's butt gently and let it follow the carriage in front closely.
Did the couple have a fight?
I didn't hear any arguing just now.
Manbao went into the space to fetch water, and brought the bamboo tube that Bai Shan brought with her. When the water was full, she came out. She coughed lightly, and Bai Shan turned and went in.
Driver: ...It’s really hard to understand.
Manbao happily handed him the water and said, "You can drink it directly. Drink it quickly."
Bai Shan opened it and took a look. It was full of clean water. He was slightly surprised, so he tilted his head back and took a big sip. He asked in a low voice, "Is Uncle Zhou still here?"
“Not anymore.”
Bai Shan was no longer so nervous. He asked curiously, "Did Uncle Zhou go to the front to help us find water?"
Manbao sighed, "I didn't find any water around."
She had asked Keke to help look at it a long time ago, but Keke was sympathetic and didn't take her points. He just took a look while scanning the included organisms.
But there was no water, so she asked Dayu. Dayu had experience and his knowledge must be much wider than Koko's.
Bai Shan took a sip after hearing this, and then said, "We'll prepare more water next time."
Manbao nodded and planned to go to the mall to look for water storage products. They couldn't afford to buy water, but they could replenish it here themselves.
Manbao handed the bamboo tube to Bai Shan, "What are Yin Huo and the others doing? Give this bamboo tube to them. He needs to drink more water."
"I'm teaching Liu Huan chess..."
"Huh?" Manbao tilted her head slightly, because Keke was saying in her head, "Found the water source, 18 kilometers to the left..."
Manbao lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a winding road extending to the front left. It was obvious that this was the road they were going to take, so she looked at Bai Shan excitedly.
Bai Shan understood what she meant without her saying anything, so she also smiled and became happy. At the same time, she felt a little relieved that she had to find water.
See you tomorrow
