Chapter 181 Eye contact
Ye Li smiled and took the rabbit from Xiao Xun's hand: "I'm having a moving-in party tomorrow, and I happen to be out of ingredients, so you're bringing food to my door."
Xiao Xun didn't let go, but took it again and said, "Let me deal with the rabbit first."
Xiao Xun carried the rabbit into the kitchen. After a while, the sound of knives clattering could be heard from inside. Ye Li hurriedly followed him in. She said, "There's no water in the kitchen. I haven't had time to fetch any yet."
The drinking water of the forest tribes comes from underground wells. They have dug wells in the forest and draw water from the wells for daily use.
Ye Li and his friends used to eat at the tree house restaurant, but now that they have moved into their new home, they have to cook their own meals. The first thing they have to solve is the water problem.
Although tree houses are safe, they are not as comprehensive as modern buildings.
Xiao Xun's tall figure almost filled the entire kitchen. He quickly cut the rabbit with his knife and cleaned it up. When he heard Ye Li's words, his brows furrowed slightly. He said, "We need running water."
Ye Li leaned aside and smiled: "The people in the tribe seem to be quite primitive and don't understand modern things. They probably don't have running water, otherwise, they would have used it long ago."
"It's actually very simple." Xiao Xun said while keeping the secret.
"How can it be simple?" Ye Li was completely confused about these things. She only knew how to use them but didn't know how to do them.
Xiao Xun smiled and continued, "There are so many abandoned houses outside the forest tribe. Each abandoned house has water pipes and fixtures. We can dig these things up and reuse them."
"But, but it's been so long, it must be broken."
"Haha... I can fix it." Xiao Xun looked at her with a smile.
Ye Li looked at Xiao Xun in surprise and praised him, "He is indeed someone from the Holy City, so powerful."
"Thank you for the compliment. I'll bring Li Yuan to get it for you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Ye Li nodded. If running water could be installed, life would be much more convenient. Ye Li said, "I'll prepare a feast for you when you return triumphantly."
"What about now?" Xiao Xun raised his two hands stained with rabbit blood.
"Oh, I'll get you some water right away." Ye Li quickly picked up the bucket and went to the nearby well to fetch water. After carrying a bucket of water, he ran back immediately.
"Hurry up and wash your hands." Ye Li took a ladle and scooped some water over to the sink. He looked at Xiao Xun and said, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here and wash your hands."
Xiao Xun walked over and stretched out his hand. Ye Li poured water and he rubbed his hands. The two of them washed their hands in tacit cooperation.
Ye Li scooped up some water with the ladle and washed Xiao Xun again. She said, "It's really inconvenient without running water."
Xiao Xun looked at her with his dark eyes and asked, "If you had the chance to go to the Holy City, would you go?"
"Of course I would. A place as good as the Holy City would be a hot destination for everyone in the apocalypse, and I'm naturally no exception, since I have two children with me." Ye Li frowned and said, "But the Holy City only accepts intelligent children under the age of eight. If I send Xiaomu and Xixi there, they'll definitely not agree, considering how much they rely on me. Besides, even if the conditions in the Holy City are great, how can children who have been separated from their parents at a young age be happy?"
"You can go too!" Xiao Xun looked at Ye Li with a revealing look.
"Me? I'm not an eight-year-old kid." Ye Li said self-deprecatingly, "Now that we're in the forest tribe, the people here are so friendly, and our future tree house is ready, I think this is pretty good."
"I can--"
"But you, you are in the Holy City, yet you want to run away and become a refugee."
Ye Li interrupted Xiao Xun's words, and Xiao Xun paused. It was not appropriate to say such words at this moment. If he scared her, it would be bad.
