Chapter 10 Disguised Water Source



The little girl is even shy!

Fang Qingdai looked at Qingluan with a happy smile: "Don't hide, let me wash you!"

Fang Qingdai had prepared a basin filled with water long before Qingluan woke up.

As soon as the clean, cool water touched her body, Qingluan's already round eyes widened instantly!

"Sister! This, this water, are we going to use it to wash ourselves?!" Even though the little girl was extremely shocked, she still sensibly lowered her voice, afraid that the neighbors would hear the slightest noise!

Fang Qingdai sighed, marveling for the ten thousandth time at Qingluan's understanding.

If a four-year-old girl were in Fang Qingdai's timeline, she would undoubtedly be pampered and cherished by her family.

Let alone being sensible and considerate, not being willful or stubborn is considered a successful education.

Indeed, the environment forces people to grow.

Seeing Fang Qingdai sigh, Qingluan, the clueless little maid, suddenly became serious.

She thought for a moment, then said with utmost seriousness, "Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone what our family has!"

They didn't ask a single question!

Whether it was the special delicacies Fang Qingdai brought out a few days ago, or the extremely high-quality water, Qingluan never asked Fang Qingdai a single question from beginning to end!

She's so sensible it breaks my heart.

Fang Qingdai gently patted Qingluan's head, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Qingluan is great. It's right not to tell anyone."

After confirming that Qingluan was sensible, Fang Qingdai hesitated slightly, but still gritted her teeth and brought Qingluan into the space!

From birth until now, I have never seen such clean and soft grass and crystal clear streams. After being slightly startled, Qingluan was left with nothing but awe!

Her big, round eyes stared blankly at the scene in the space, and after a long while she murmured, "Is this... the fairyland that Mom talked about?"

The original owner's mother longed for ancient culture and had some knowledge of immortals. She had told the original owner and her sister some stories about immortals.

Qingluan, being of limited knowledge, found the story magical but lacked a concrete understanding of the celestial realm.

Now, as soon as he entered the space, the answer instantly came to his little head.

Fang Qingdai took Qingluan to take a bath in the space, and at the same time brainwashed Qingluan: "Yes, this is the Immortal Realm. The immortals took pity on us sisters and bestowed this opportunity upon us."

"Only my sister can open this place; no one else can enter on their own. Qingluan, remember, you must never tell anyone. If others find out about this place, the gods will be angry and take back the opportunity!"

Qingluan was extremely nervous upon hearing this: "Then, sister, is it alright if you tell me?"

The little girl's big eyes were filled with unease, fearing that the gods would take back the opportunity and force the two sisters back to the days when they had nothing to eat.

Qingluan tacitly acknowledged that the delicious food was a gift from the gods.

Fang Qingdai smiled and said, "Qingluan is family with me. It's okay to tell Qingluan, but don't let outsiders know!"

The reason Fang Qingdai told Qingluan was because, based on her memory or the experience of spending the past few days with her, she knew that Qingluan was a sensible and well-behaved child.

This child is also introverted and not very willing to communicate with outsiders.

If you don't let her speak, she absolutely won't utter a single word.

Most importantly, Fang Qingdai would never compromise herself, so she would inevitably go into the space to take a bath frequently.

It's impossible to hide such a sudden disappearance from Qingluan, who shares meals and lodging with you.

It would be better to say it sooner rather than later, so that the little girl is aware of the situation and doesn't panic and cause trouble when Fang Qingdai disappears.

When I rubbed Qingluan's body, I also rubbed off a lot of dirt.

The water flowing downstream was stained in a small area!

As Qingluan watched the polluted water flow away, she suddenly asked, "Sister, can we still use that dirty water to exchange for things?"

Qingluan endured six months of hardship with the original owner of the body and learned the importance of resources.

As a local, Qingluan is even more aware of the value of these resources.

Therefore, she felt very sorry for the polluted water source.

Fang Qingdai was taken aback, then suddenly had a flash of insight!

Grade A water sources are indeed eye-catching and easily attract attention.

However, if it's processed and disguised as a substandard water source, the transaction becomes much easier!

"Qingluan, you're so clever!"

Fang Qingdai happily gave Qingluan a big kiss on the cheek. The little girl didn't understand why, but immediately pursed her lips and smiled shyly, her eyes full of dependence and affection when she looked at Fang Qingdai.

After giving Qingluan a bath, Fang Qingdai found some old clothes and made her a matching wasteland-style full-body outfit. Then, she couldn't wait to find a container to "mix" the water.

He sprinkled two handfuls of yellow sand into the clear water, but it still wasn't enough, so he put the bottles and jars that Aunt Lu had brought in into the water and washed them several times.

The once clear and transparent water source turned black and yellow and turbid in an instant!

But Fang Qingdai was extremely satisfied!

The color of this water is exactly the same as the Class C water source that the original owner's family used daily back in the base!

The base operates on a points system. The original owner's parents, both superhumans, worked hard to complete missions, but could only earn a total of three to five hundred points each month.

However, this Class C water source requires five points for every liter!

The wasteland is windy and sandy, with a dry climate, and people have a great need for drinking water.

One liter of water was barely enough for the original owner's family of four to stay hydrated, and they dared not drink freely at all!

That means we have to spend about 150 points a month, and nearly half of our family's income is going towards water!

The remaining points are used to exchange for food and medicine, and there is hardly any surplus at the end of the month.

Only because there are two people with superpowers in the family can they manage to get by.

For other families, enduring hunger and thirst is the norm, and dying of hunger and thirst on this land is not uncommon!

Fang Qingdai was extremely satisfied. She used the jars that Aunt Lu had given her to portion out the water and prepared to slowly look for customers.

However, as soon as Fang Qingdai finished her work and turned around, she saw Qingluan lying listlessly on the bed, her little face flushed with an unhealthy red.

"Qingluan?" Fang Qingdai was startled and quickly stepped forward, calling out softly.

Qingluan stared blankly at Fang Qingdai, her usually large and bright eyes now misty and slightly dazed.

Fang Qingdai touched Qingluan's forehead, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died!

The little girl has a fever; the temperature is frighteningly high!

"Sister..." Qingluan seemed very upset, reaching out her hands and asking for a hug in a pitiful manner.

Fang Qingdai quickly pulled the person into her arms, her heart pounding with anxiety.

In the wasteland, medicine is extremely scarce, and its price is naturally incredibly high!

Fang Qingdai now only has about ten points left, not enough to buy anything, let alone treat Qingluan!

Qingluan was perhaps frightened by the chaos of the past two days. The little girl didn't show it on the surface and was very sensible, but she was still frightened in her heart.

In addition, I gave her a bath today. People who are used to being dirty may experience a breakdown in their immune system after a sudden thorough cleaning.

But no matter what the cause of the illness is, you must get the medicine as soon as possible!

Fang Qingdai pondered for a while, then cut off another piece of tattered clothing, soaked it, and placed the damp fabric on Qingluan's forehead.

After settling Qingluan in, he went to Uncle Lu's house to ask Aunt Lu to look after Qingluan, and then took two jars of mixed water and headed outside.
