"knew."
Su's mother was busy packing things for going up the mountain tomorrow.
It's not just them, every household is like this.
Summer is already hot, and everyone is rushing on the road. The sweat from their bodies, if they don't take a shower for a long time, turns into an unpleasant sour smell.
The clothes on their bodies stunk, the whole bodies stunk, in short, no one was clean and fresh.
I went to bed after midnight yesterday, and got up at 3 a.m. the next day, and only slept for two and a half hours.
At the time of Yin, the camp was already bustling with activity, and women were walking up the mountain with their children.
Little Yang Gui was woken up, and started to make a fuss when he saw Su Yin and his sister following their mother up the mountain without him.
"Mom, I want to go too."
Yang Dahe hurriedly stopped him and said, "Dad will take you there later."
"No, I want to go with Sister Yinyin."
"You are a man, you can't go. You didn't see that the boys didn't go. If you make trouble again, I will spank you."
Little Yang Gui turned his head and saw that his cousins had not left, and it was the women who left. He finally pouted in grievance.
Su Yin held a torch and walked in the front with Su's mother, Su Baozhu, Xu Niangzi and others. The other women in the family followed closely behind. Everyone was carrying large and small bags, and even Su Yin was no exception. She was carrying the clothes for the three of them to change today.
Su's mother and Su Baozhu both brought soap nuts and the dirty clothes they had washed previously.
"Hasn't it arrived yet?" someone at the back couldn't help but ask.
"Almost there. Right ahead."
Su Yin replied, and then reminded, "The road above is not easy to walk on, be careful with children, don't let them bump into anything."
The women below responded one after another.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the group finally passed through the forest and arrived at the edge of the pond.
The person walking in front exclaimed in surprise after seeing the pool of water.
“We’re here, we’re here.”
Hearing the sound, the people behind took more steps and rushed forward quickly.
“Lots of water.”
Looking at the rippling water in the moonlight, I couldn't help sighing.
“I haven’t seen so much water in a long time.”
"Finally I can wash up."
Everyone is happy and ready to start washing up.
Su Yin asked, "I need twenty people to help patrol the surrounding areas. Is there anyone willing to sign up?"
Under their puzzled gazes, Su Yin explained.
"This is a remote place after all. To prevent any accidents, someone has to patrol the area."
In fact, this defense is not just against wild beasts, but more against humans.
In the Great Yong Dynasty, the separation of men and women is stricter than that of Blue Star, so it is best to avoid it. Most of the people in the team are clear-minded and would never dare to do such a thing, but no one can guarantee that a clear-minded person will run away at any time, so it is always right to be prepared.
After Su Yin said this, most people understood.
"Yinyin, you've thought it through." Madam Xu was the first to raise her hand and sign up. "I'll join. It doesn't matter if I wash up earlier or later. I'll always get a turn, right? I don't mind a little more time."
"Yeah, everyone will get a turn anyway. It doesn't matter if I'm a little late. I can be counted in for this." Second cousin Yang Shuilian raised her hand as well.
Zhang Bingliang's wife stepped forward and said, "Count me in, too."
"How can I be left out of this kind of thing?" Li Rui's wife raised her hand.
Li Si's wife Yunniang also raised her hand, "Count me in, I want to do my best for everyone, too."
Su Yin shook her head, "Yun Niang, forget it, you are still pregnant."
Doctor Li's wife, Yu Niang, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "It's rare for a pregnant woman like you to be involved in this matter, so count me in as well."
Su Yin spoke again, "No."
This time it was the fisherwoman's turn to be surprised, "Why?"
Su Yin explained with a smile: "Sister Fisherman, you are the only one in your family, and you still need to wash clothes. It will take too long to wash clothes after you finish your patrol. They can't take a bath while you are washing clothes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter of women rang out in the woods.
"Hahaha, Yinyin is right. We need to make reasonable arrangements. There are three people coming to my house, so it's no big deal for me to go out on patrol. I'll leave the clothes and other things to my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law." The person who spoke was the woman from Nan Jingzhi's side.
One by one, they stepped forward, and in a short while, twenty people gathered.
Su Yin naturally followed the twenty people on patrol, but in fact he just watched around the pond.
The others didn't need anyone to tell them, they all consciously found a place and started to wash up.
Su Baozhu said, "Don't pour the soapberry water into the pond. It will muddy the water and pour it into the forest."
"We all save it."
Those who were quick to act quickly washed and dressed themselves, and went over to take over Su Yin and the others' shift.
"Are you okay?" Su Yin looked at her aunt.
Su Baozhu smiled and said, "I'm not well yet, so how can I come to take over your shift? Go and wash yourself, you stink."
Su Yin deliberately glared at her.
After arriving at the pond, Su Yin found a place and took off her clothes. She did not dive into the water immediately, but scooped up a handful of water and patted her chest. After her body had adapted to the temperature of the pond, she dived into the water and began to wash.
The water was a little cold in the early morning, causing Su Yin to shiver, but her body quickly adapted to the temperature of the water.
Su Yin plunged into the pool of water and paddled in it. When she came out of the water, she felt like she was alive again.
After soaking in the water for a while, Su Yin took the soap from the shore, rubbed it in her hands for a few times, and applied the bubbles to her long hair. When the soap was applied to her head, the bubbles disappeared directly.
Well, it’s not that the soap is not effective, it’s just that my hair is too dirty.
Su Yin continued to rub out the soap liquid and applied it to her hair again and again. When she finally felt a little bit of foam, she rubbed it carefully and grabbed the gaps in her hair with her fingertips.
Maybe because I hadn't washed for a long time, my hair was very tangled. It took a lot of effort to comb my hair smoothly.
It's not just on the hair, but also on the body. The mud rubbed off the body can be kneaded into a pill the size of an eyeball.
After adjusting to the water temperature, Su Yin wanted to wash for a while longer, but the men behind her still had to wash up, and they had to travel today, so when she was almost done washing, she didn't dare to enjoy it, and hurriedly got up and put on clean clothes.
After putting on clean, fresh clothes without any peculiar smell, Su Yin almost shed tears of "movement".
┭┮﹏┭┮It’s really not easy!
I have to say that women are very smart, especially when it comes to saving water.
They dug several holes beside the pond and then diverted some of the water from the pond into the holes.
By washing with water, the water in the pool will not be filled with soapy liquid mixed with black water.
