Fortunately, the old man was there, otherwise there would have been some dispute over this little water.
After all, everyone had different things, and Xia Manni and Dawa had the most.
"Hey, sorry."
It's already been arranged. I'll go back and get the things before coming back to pick it up.
Behind Xia Manni was a brother and sister.
She is only half a year or one year younger than Xia Manni.
The two siblings didn't say anything, after all, they had seen Xia Manni's strength.
But he was the first one to chop someone with a machete.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Xia Manni finally filled up all the boxes.
She took the eldest child and walked down carefully, step by step.
Thinking that I have been away for more than an hour, I wonder how those three kids are doing.
Xia Manni was a little worried, but she didn't dare to be anxious.
After all, it is not easy to get water. There is water almost halfway up the mountain.
If you are not thirsty enough, you probably won’t come up.
The eldest brother walked very carefully, as he was also worried about his younger brother and sister.
It took more than twice as long to go down the mountain as it did to go up.
On the way, they met an old man who was going down the mountain ahead of them.
By the time they finally reached the foot of the mountain, it was already late at night.
Erwa was sitting on a straw mat, holding Sinier in one hand and Dawa in the other, with his back leaning against Potato.
Sanwa and Sinier half-closed their eyes, while Erwa stared at the mountain with his eyes open.
This is the scene Xia Manni and Dawa saw when they came down the mountain.
"Erwa, mother is back."
Xia Manni was talking happily, and Sanwa and Sinier finally woke up.
She looked at the children's mouths, which were already dry and chapped, and couldn't help feeling distressed.
Fortunately, we pumped a lot of water this time.
She put the pot on the stove and boiled the water in the water bag first.
I plan to leave the remaining water in the pots, pans, and bowls as it is for now.
While people were quietly boiling water and eating here, some people came here in the dark.
However, not many people arrived, and when they arrived, they first went up the mountain to find water.
Xia Manni was a little worried. What if the water in the mountains along the way also dried up?
The moon in the sky was still very big, and they drank half a pot of water without leaving a drop.
Xia Manni then boiled the water in the small pot, and after it was cooked, she let it cool down and put it into the water bag.
At least there is enough water for tomorrow, and there is still half a pot of unused water.
At this time, only Da Wa was busy with Xia Manni.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Xia Manni guessed that no one would come to trouble them.
Because it was just dawn and the heat hit me in the face.
Everyone was a little dazed. The first group of people who went to fetch water last night basically only slept for two hours.
Those who came later got even less sleep.
So they are now faced with a problem: should they leave now or wait until after noon when the temperature drops a little?
If you walk now, the temperature will soon reach over 40 or even 50 degrees Celsius.
If there is no village or shop nearby, then you can only leave it to dry in the sun.
At least there is a mountain to lean on now.
If you go later, it means confusing right and wrong.
Xia Manni took out the map and found her current location based on the itinerary.
According to the map, the next big mountain will take at least a day's walk.
She closed the map and decided to go back to sleep and continue her journey at night.
"Sister Xia, when are you leaving?"
The person who came to talk to Xia Manni was the girl who fetched water with her yesterday.
Her brother was with her.
"We'll leave after noon, when it's dusk."
Xia Manni felt that there was no need to hide anything, and after what happened last night, those people were very sincere.
How many of them are like Miss Liu?
Not caring about the occasion and not considering the consequences?
By the way, I don’t know what happened to Miss Liu.
"Then you're just like Uncle Dai and the others."
The girl pointed at the old man in front and said, it turned out that the old man who was in charge of the situation last night was Mr. Dai.
Xia Manni asked, "What about you?"
"We are just like everyone else. Let me tell you that things are more chaotic during the day than at night."
"Oh? What did you hear?"
"I heard from Uncle Dai that it seems like a war is about to start. We need to find a safe place before the battle starts."
"Thank you, what's your name, sister?"
"Sister Xia, just call me Xiaotao."
The two of them had a brief conversation again, and Xia Manni felt that girls like Xiaotao were really nice.
Independent, lively, and has his own ideas.
But Xia Manni herself didn't realize that she was only one year older than Xiaotao, but she was treating her daughter like that.
"Mom, we're not leaving, are we?"
Sanwa asked Xia Manni with sleepy eyes.
"No, I'll leave after noon."
After Xia Manni finished speaking, she covered her head with her clothes, just enough to block out the sunlight.
The four children of the Xia family imitated Xia Manni's movements and lay down in unison.
Erwa was holding the potato, and it was covered up along with him.
Erwa could vaguely feel the expressions on some people's faces when they saw Potato.
He wants to protect the potatoes.
The Xia family slept until noon.
Not many people left during this period, and most people chose to stay where they were.
Some of them couldn't walk because it was too hot, and some of them just chose to follow the crowd.
There were quite a few people coming, and it was a noisy and chaotic scene.
But most of the people here were too sleepy to pay any attention.
