It seems that this wealthy family's life is not much better.
Xiao Nan looked back at the clear water in the well and the moon in the water and sighed deeply.
It's really not easy to drink water.
Fortunately, she still has some skills, and although it is a bit difficult, there is still a way.
The rope by the well was a little worn, and it was afraid that it could not bear the weight of a person. Xiao Nanhui placed his bag under the pile of stones beside the well, took out the water bag, tied it to the rope and went down the well, then he went back down to the well, supported himself on the wall of the well with the strength of his arms and legs, and moved towards the bottom of the well little by little.
There was a lot of moss on the wall of the well, which was slippery and difficult to touch. She almost fell in several times, but she managed to hold on with all her strength. When she reached the bottom of the well, her body was sore and she felt even more tired than the march.
Fortunately, the water at the bottom of the well was the clearest she had seen in recent days. Xiao Nanhui took a breath and took off the water bag tied to the rope. She scooped up the water and drank it full. Then she filled the water bag again, tied the rope again, and prepared to climb out of the well and pull the water bag up.
After all the trouble, she looked up at the crescent moon at the mouth of the well and found that it was already midnight.
If it happens again, she really can't bear it.
Just as I was thinking about it, the rope hanging above my head suddenly moved.
Before Xiao Nanhui could react, the water bag slid up along the rope. She reached out to grab it but missed.
What's going on?!
Is there someone coming to the well?
Xiao Nan came back and didn't have time to think about it. She quickly used her hands and feet to climb to the well mouth. Because of her impatience, she climbed up the well faster than she did down. However, her clothes, which were already full of holes, were scratched a few more times.
When she finally managed to climb onto the edge of the well with one hand and looked out, she saw a little chubby boy, as round as a shrike, holding her water bag and drinking the last drop of water in the moonlight.
Xiao Nanhui didn't say anything, but he was still breathing heavily.
The fat man turned his head blankly when he heard the noise, only to see a man with disheveled hair, a very bad complexion, and an androgynous appearance, staring at him viciously.
The water bag in his hand fell to the ground. He took a half step back and sat on the ground in fear.
"Is it a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Nanhui had already climbed up when he got here. He didn't bother to pay any attention to him. He just walked quickly up to him, picked up the water bag and shook it upside down. The water bag was already empty.
The water she had worked so hard to fetch ended up in someone else's stomach.
Xiao Nanhui was so angry that he closed his eyes and accurately grabbed the fat boy's ear with one hand.
"Where's the water? Spit it out!"
The fat guy had already seen that Xiao Nanhui was a person, and someone who did not belong to this yard, so he mustered up the courage to call for help.
"Someone come, there is..."
Just after he shouted a few words, Xiao Nanhui's claws moved to his neck, and his throat was blocked and he couldn't speak.
"It's the dead of night, if you want to make a scene, go ahead and see who comes first, or you die first."
Fatty's face flushed, tears welled up in his eyes, and he rolled his eyes. Xiao Nan looked around and didn't think about having to bury the body soon, so he let go of his hand.
Fatty got some air, knelt on the ground and coughed, still muttering, "You thief, you came here to steal water. I'll tell the boss and have him tie you up."
Even after being bullied like this, he still didn't kneel down and beg for mercy. Xiao Nanhui thought this man was quite interesting and deliberately made things difficult for him: "You are a servant in this yard. You came to steal water without the master's permission. Even if your master came, I'm afraid you would not be able to get away with it."
"Boss, do you believe me or you? I'll just report that you drank the water and I just happened to run into you. Naturally, no one will stand on your side." The servant knew he couldn't escape, so he sat down on the ground with his neck stiff, like a dead pig fearing boiling water. "Humph, anyway, I drank the water, what can you do to me?"
Are you playing rogue?
Xiao Nanhui quickly pulled out a dagger from his boot and wiped it on his sleeve.
Hey, I haven’t touched a weapon in a long time, it feels really good.
"W-What are you going to do?"
Xiao Nanhui tossed the knife in his hand, looked up and down at the fat man's belly, and smiled maliciously: "The water is in your stomach, so why don't I just cut you open?"
The servant swallowed. Xiao Nanhui's face, unwashed for so long, looked rather hideous, like a desperate female bandit. The people of this city had long been driven mad with thirst, and they were likely capable of any wicked act.
"Don't try to scare me. If water goes into your stomach, how can it stay there?"
"What can I do? I'm so thirsty I don't care about anything else. I heard that all the water is in the blood under the thin layer of skin. I can just prick your wound and drink some of it. It should last me for a day or two."
As the saying goes, if you want to kill or cut someone, do it quickly. If you cut him left and right, he might end up with his stomach ruptured and his intestines spilling out, and he might not be able to die. That would be too tragic.
"Sister! Aunt! My dear ancestor! Please forgive me. I was also unaware of it, so I drank your water."
The fat boy rushed over and hugged Xiao Nanhui's thighs, wiping his snot from howling on them. Xiao Nanhui pinched the other's fat double chin and pushed him away in disgust.
"I'll ask a question, and you'll answer it. If there's any ambiguity, we'll go back to where we were just now."
The servant swallowed and nodded with difficulty, and Xiao Nanhui put the knife back.
"May I have your name?"
"Wu Xiaoliu."
Xiao Nanhui pulled out the knife with a "swish". Wu Xiaoliu was about to cry, "Lady, my name sounds a bit casual, but it is absolutely true. My parents have never been to school, so they just gave it to me casually..."
