Chapter 147 Dragon spits water
After the women built the huts and returned to the team, they were so tired that they collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move. Logically speaking, this kind of work was nothing for them, as farming was much more tiring than this. But the key was hunger and thirst, especially thirst, which was really fatal.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted and no one, men or women in each family, wanted to move, Ding Xiaodie felt that this was a perfect opportunity.
She hid the cuckoo machine in her arms and quietly walked through the woods to the dead tree. She looked around cautiously at first, and when she didn't see anyone, she quickly took out the cuckoo machine and poured water into the tree trough.
"Coo, choo!"
Unexpectedly, the Cuckoo Machine seemed to be very happy because it could finally work. Not only did it bark, but the sound was louder than before, forcing Ding Xiaodie to cover its outlet with her hands, so the Cuckoo turned into a Huhu!
What she didn't know was that some villagers had heard the noise and mumbled, "What strange bird is making that noise? When I'm done, I'll shoot you down and roast you for meat."
After a thin layer of water finally accumulated in the tree trough, Ding Xiaodie directly immersed the opening of the cuckoo machine in the water. This made the sound even smaller, but bubbles kept rising from the bottom of the water.
My goodness, if I hadn’t held it in my hand and realized it was just a machine, I would have thought it was alive!
Gradually, there was more and more water, and Ding Xiaodie became more and more nervous!
She let go and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then she was stunned when she put her hand down!
Suddenly, there was a person not far away, staring at her with triangular eyes. The person was none other than Wang Dafeng.
When she left, she asked her mother to look after the old woman. It seemed that her mother was too tired and fell asleep, so the old woman secretly ran out to look for her.
Ever since she was rescued from the desert soldiers, the old woman looked at Zhang Xiu and Ding Gui differently. She always thought they were bad guys and felt unsafe as long as Ding Xiaodie was not around for a while.
Good heavens, this time she caught her right in the act.
Ding Xiaodie was stunned. Wang Dafeng's eyes rolled around, and then his gaze suddenly fixed on the water in the tree trough: "Water, Xiaodie, water."
"Yeah, a dragon...a dragon spits water." Ding Xiaodie's mind was blank. She didn't even have time to think, so she had to tell such a lie. The people of Aozigou wanted a god, so she would just make one up for them.
After saying that, he quickly put away the cuckoo machine while Wang Dafeng's attention was on the water, and then pulled her aside: "Grandma, do you want some water?"
"think."
Who wouldn't want to? Although their family has never lacked water, in such hot weather, everyone can't wait to soak in the water.
Ding Xiaodie picked a leaf and rolled it into a small container. She filled it with water and gave it to the old woman. While feeding her, she asked her, "Grandma, where did you get this water?"
"dragon."
Wang Dafeng uttered a word.
"That's right, a dragon spits water. Dragon, after spewing water it goes up to the sky!"
"Yes, yes, the dragon is ascending to heaven."
Wang Dafeng looked up at the cloudless sky. Where was the dragon?
It was only at this time that Ding Xiaodie finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the old woman's sudden appearance was a turning point. In short, as long as it was what she said, no one else could verify it. The fact that there was water was a fact, and that was enough.
After drinking a few drops of water, Ding Xiaodie finally shouted at the top of her voice: "Hey, water! There's water! Everyone, come and see! There's water!"
Water!? (ω)
It's hard to understand what this word means, it's like shouting "money" in front of a group of beggars.
Not to mention those who were drowsy because they were tired, even the men who were exhausted after chopping trees sat up from their deep sleep with a grunt.
"I seemed to hear someone talking about water."
"It's not like, it's true, listen!"
"Uncle Laifu, Dad, come quickly, there's water! Grandma found it. Come quickly!" Ding Xiaodie continued to shout at the other end of the team with her hands cupped into a trumpet shape. After shouting, she didn't forget to turn around and praise: "Grandma, you are the most amazing person in Aozigou. You can actually see a dragon and find so much water. You must tell the villagers later. I wonder who will dare to look down on you from now on."
The confused old woman pointed at herself: "..."
She didn't know what to say, but she felt inexplicably happy.
As soon as the words were spoken, all the men, women, young and old from Aozigou rushed over. Except for the ancestor, no one was absent.
Everyone gathered around the tree trough, stunned!
A dead tree trough, not in the shade nor in a ravine, unexpectedly, stored a trough of water. This...
Let me ask you if you are confused?
Those bloodshot eyes were filled with disbelief, and the whole village was speechless for more than ten seconds.
When Ding Gui saw this, he decided to cooperate with his daughter!
"Xiaodie, what's going on?" The couple hurried over and held their daughter's hands on both sides.
"I don't know what happened. Grandma suddenly disappeared. When I came to look for her, I saw her standing here. She told me..." Ding Xiaodie looked at the old woman and deliberately kept her in suspense: "Grandma, tell them what you saw?"
Hey, it was finally his turn to speak. Wang Dafeng raised his head and squinted his eyes proudly: "I saw a dragon, and the dragon spit water."
"Dragon spits water?"
“Good fellow!”
"It turns out that God really is protecting us. When we were at the government office, he sent gods to fill the well with water. When we came to the mountain, he even called down dragons to spit out water. Oh my God, we in Aozigou must have done something great in our past lives."
Aunt Niu couldn't help but howl out this sentence, which completed the story. Ding Xiaodie secretly held back her laughter.
The others were different when they heard it. Not only did they believe it, they also knelt down and kowtowed devoutly.
Ding Gui quickly pulled his daughter!
Xiaodie also pulled the old woman!
Kneel down, kowtow to the Guguji together. o(╥﹏╥)o
When he kowtowed for the second time, Mr. Lu's family, father and son, who had heard the noise, also rushed over. Looking at the clear water source in the tree trough, even Mr. Lu, who had traveled far and wide and had seen a lot, was stunned.
A puzzled expression was written on his face. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for this tree trough to store water. Even if it was found in a ravine, it would be considered a miracle, let alone halfway up the mountain with the sun high in the sky.
Mr. Lu had a serious look on his face. He picked a leaf and rolled it up. He walked forward and scooped up some water from the leaf and brought it to his nose to smell. It was clear and had no peculiar smell.
He was about to drink, but Uncle Jiu got there first.
This was the first time he had overstepped the boundaries with his master. He held his wrist and stretched his neck to drink the water himself. If it was poisonous, he would die first rather than let his master get hurt.
It was really touching. Ding Xiaodie: "..."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Uncle Jiu. He wouldn't suddenly collapse, would he? Would he bleed from all seven orifices?
However, time passed minute by minute, and Uncle Jiu was fine. He stroked his goatee and smiled, "This water is surprisingly clear and sweet. I should be fine."
