"I was wrong this time. I didn't follow you well. My parents have already beaten me. My dear, please don't be angry, okay?" Chu San carried her to the river, not forgetting to act coquettishly and please her.
Zhou Jiaojiao was a little uncomfortable at first, after all, Chu San was a stranger to her, but his social status didn't make Zhou Jiaojiao feel uncomfortable for long.
"I don't blame you."
"If you don't blame me, then call me husband." Chu Sanda rubbed his head against her neck like a large dog.
Zhou Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and said, "If you listen to me, I will forgive you."
"Be obedient, be obedient, I only listen to my wife." Chu San nodded hurriedly.
Zhou Jiaojiao thought about Chu San's personality and didn't doubt that he would lie. He was originally a wife slave, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to become an obedient wife slave now.
She asked Chu San to carry her to the check-in point by the river.
"Sign in." Zhou Jiaojiao said to the system.
The system responded quickly: "Congratulations on signing in by the river. You have received ten pots of water."
Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to carry Chu San to get the water, but Chu San was probably scared after losing her before, and he never put her down from beginning to end.
Zhou Jiaojiao shouted at the other party to let her go, but Chu San stubbornly refused to listen.
Zhou Jiaojiao looked at him helplessly.
Chu San blinked innocently.
Zhou Jiaojiao: ...
"System, if I take something out, will there be any abnormality?"
"No." Xiao Si said.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't believe it completely. She wanted to give it a try, so she reached out and covered Chu San's eyes, and at the same time took out two pots of water.
Chu San didn't like having his eyes covered and was trying to pull her hand away.
Zhou Jiaojiao was shocked and stared at the ground, because the two pots of water she took out did not seem to be obtained through telekinesis, but came directly from a stone pit. They were very clean at first, but then became a little turbid because the stone pit was dirty. Fortunately, there was only mud and sand.
Now Zhou Jiaojiao felt relieved and let go of her hand.
"Husband, there is water."
Chu San followed her gaze and his eyes lit up instantly. "Madam, there is water. Water, drink it. Okay, okay."
As he spoke, he took the water bag off from his waist and started pouring water into it. Soon he filled two water bags and just filled them up.
Zhou Jiaojiao was thoughtful. No wonder the unit of water in the system was kettle.
"Ma'am, drink some water."
Chu San handed the water bag to her mouth.
Zhou Jiaojiao drank a little with the muddy water and felt a little better in her throat. It was not that she didn't want to drink it all, but the sign-in system always chose the most reasonable way to take things out.
Just like the previous medicinal herbs, they were all dried and unprocessed. She could casually explain that they were found in a dead forest and no one would be suspicious.
"Where are my parents?" Zhou Jiaojiao asked.
To repay the Chu family, one naturally has to find someone from the Chu family.
"Dad, Mom..." Chu San scratched his already dirty hair, "Dad and Mom are here, in the cave, in the cave."
"Husband, can you take me to find my parents?"
"Yes, sure." Chu San said as he patted his chest, reached out and carried Zhou Jiaojiao on his back, and left the official road.
Zhou Jiaojiao sighed and could only obey him and be carried on his back. Her health was really not good.
The weather was very hot and Chu San was sweating profusely in a short while, but he said nothing and carried Zhou Jiaojiao steadily.
Zhou Jiaojiao was afraid that he would get heatstroke, so she poured some water into his mouth from time to time.
In fact, the biggest disaster in the provincial capital where Daliu Village is located is water shortage. There was water in the river and wells before, but the wells were almost dry three months ago. It was not until a week ago that there was no water at all, and the whole village fled together, leaving the village and heading for where there was water.
The most precious resource at this time is water.
Didn’t you see that the riverbed was so dry that it was exposed, and there was no water at all? This was also the reason why Zhou Jiaojiao signed for the water source at the beginning.
There are only two check-in points left.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't dare to use it carelessly.
She didn't even know where the Chu family was, so she could only rely on Chu San.
After all, she would have stomachache after walking a few steps at this time.
They walked for an hour, or two hours. Zhou Jiaojiao found herself feeling dizzy from hunger, and Chu San's pace also slowed down.
She knew she couldn't go on like this, so she could only look around. Finally, she saw the mud-walled and thatched houses. It was a village.
"Husband, go to the village."
"Madam, there is no one in the village." Chu San meant that no one could help them.
What Zhou Jiaojiao wanted was to have no one there, otherwise how could she sign in and rest? She didn't dare to encounter a large number of refugees. If there were people in the village, she would not dare to go in.
"go."
Chu San hesitated for a moment, but still listened to her and coaxed her: "Don't be angry, my lady, let's go over there."
Chu San carried Zhou Jiaojiao into the nearest thatched hut at the village entrance. She pointed to the kitchen sign-in area and said, "Husband, carry me into the kitchen."
"oh."
Chu San walked in obediently.
The kitchen was covered with a layer of mud. On the right was an earthen stove. The big iron pot on it was missing, obviously taken away by the owner. There were still some branches and firewood left. On the left was a chopping board made of black wood boards with a tilted ceramic pot on it. There was also an empty rice jar next to the corner of the stove.
"Husband, can you help me boil the medicine?" Zhou Jiaojiao was not sure if Chu San could do the job of boiling medicine.
“Just put water and these herbs in a pot and boil them.”
Chu San's eyes were a little confused at first, but as Zhou Jiaojiao gestured, he said happily, "I know, my lady, cook, cook the medicine."
He first put Zhou Jiaojiao on the bench behind the earthen stove, then took the clay pot, and under Zhou Jiaojiao's guidance, put water and medicinal materials into it to boil, staring at the flame under the clay pot very carefully.
Chu San had a lot of things on him.
There was a tinder, two water bags, a dagger, some salt, and a mosquito repellent sachet, all of which Chu's mother insisted that Chu San carry with him, so that even if he got lost, he could still have basic living needs.
I have to say that Chu's mother is a wise woman.
Zhou Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu San take out the fire starter. She was just thinking, if there is no fire, wouldn’t she have to make fire by rubbing two sticks together?
Fortunately, I didn't encounter such difficulties.
While Chu San was staring at the medicine jar, Zhou Jiaojiao signed in for the third time.
"Congratulations on signing in to the thatched hut kitchen. You've received ten vegetable steamed buns."
When Zhou Jiaojiao saw the reward, she knew that the system was a bit stingy.
"Host, it's not that I'm stingy, but what you get from two check-in points is better than one, and what you get from three check-in points is better than two..."
“The ones at the check-in points are all worse.”
Zhou Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, but she didn't dislike it. It was better than nothing.
Zhou Jiaojiao took out all the vegetable steamed buns at once.
