Anyway, Yao Qingshuang herself really couldn't stand it anymore. She hadn't washed for more than a month. The smell of sour smell and sweat on her body made her feel uncomfortable and want to vomit. Now that she finally had this opportunity, she had to wash herself thoroughly.
After hearing what Yao Qingshuang said, everyone nodded and gladly accepted the proposal.
Everyone also thought that they had been sleeping in the open air all the way and were very uncomfortable with their dirty bodies. It was a good opportunity to take advantage of the water to wash up properly, relax themselves, and get rid of their fatigue and dirtiness.
Soon, the men consciously left the pond. They laughed and said loudly, "Ladies, go wash up first. We'll come back later."
After that, they walked in groups of three or five to distant trees or open spaces, sitting or standing, waiting patiently.
Over here, the women were busy. They all picked up their ladles, scooped water from the buckets, and carefully carried it to a flatter and more secluded place nearby, and then began to wash themselves thoroughly.
They first scooped up a handful of water with both hands and gently splashed it on their faces, feeling the cool water sliding across their skin. Then they carefully wiped the dust and sweat from their faces and necks, their expressions extremely focused, as if they were completing an extremely important task.
After washing up, the women turned their attention to the pile of clothes that were about to go sour.
After running around all day these days, my clothes are already very dirty and have a bad smell.
They soaked the clothes in water and rubbed them vigorously, joking with each other that the clothes could almost "stand up" by themselves.
Yao Qingshuang also filled the water and chose a more secluded corner to start bathing. She wet her body with water and began to scrub vigorously, her hands rubbing back and forth on her body, as if to scrub away all the dirt that had accumulated on her body over the past month.
Wow, after a while, it really looked like a layer of mud was being rubbed off his body.
When she finally finished washing, she stood up and stretched. She felt as if she had suddenly lost five pounds and felt much more energetic. Her eyes, which had originally looked dull due to fatigue and sloppiness, now glowed again.
Soon, the men also finished washing up.
After everyone finished washing up, they all looked radiant.
Their faces were filled with relaxed smiles, and their complexions, which had originally looked a little sallow due to lack of water and the rush of travel, now became rosy.
It seems that with this simple wash, the clear water is like a magical potion, injecting new vitality into everyone and allowing everyone to regain their energy and spirit.
When everyone left the pond contentedly, carrying their washed clothes and feeling refreshed, Yao Qingshuang did not immediately follow them.
She stood there quietly, looking at the pond which was only half full of water, a thoughtful glint in her eyes.
After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and quietly walked to the edge of the pond again.
At this time, the pond was no longer bustling with noise, but was filled with tranquility. Only the slightly rippling water waves were still gently lapping against the shore, as if telling of the busyness and joy of everyone here just now.
Yao Qingshuang came to the edge of the pond and looked around vigilantly. After confirming that no one noticed her, she carefully released water from her space. The clear water flowed happily into the pond like a lively elf.
She was concentrating on this task, her eyes revealing a determination, and she was thinking silently: "This water may leave a glimmer of hope for the next group of people who come here."
As time went by, thanks to Yao Qingshuang's efforts, the pond, which was originally only half full, was gradually filled up again.
Looking at the pond that had become full again, Yao Qingshuang showed a relieved smile on her face, as if she had already seen the surprise of the next group of people when they discovered the pond full of water.
The makeshift camp is now filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Because they had just successfully found water, everyone was extremely happy. Everyone had a bright smile on their face, and the laughter echoed in the camp, as if to sweep away all the fatigue from the previous journey and the worry about lack of water.
Soon, everyone started packing their luggage happily.
After everything was ready, everyone continued on their journey in high spirits.
Everyone felt that with water, the road ahead seemed suddenly full of hope.
I originally thought that the rugged and winding mountain road was difficult and boring to walk on, but now, my steps feel much lighter when walking on it, as if this mountain road is not so difficult to deal with.
As we walked along the way, time passed by unknowingly because we were in the mountains and it got dark early.
Just after the You hour, the sky gradually darkened.
The people in Sujia Village hurriedly began to look for a suitable place to set up camp and prepare to cook.
Perhaps because they found water and solved the biggest problem along the way, everyone was in particularly high spirits.
Even Yao Qingshuang, who usually found those noisy and chattering kids annoying, now found them much cuter.
Watching the children running around in the camp, laughing and playing, the clear children's voices seemed to become the unique background music of the mountain night, adding a lot of vitality and vigor to this slightly simple camp.
With the concerted efforts of the Su family, they finally arranged a place to rest for the night.
The children were already exhausted. They dragged their heavy steps to the prepared mats and sat down. They looked listless and had lost all their former liveliness.
Come to think of it, the mountain road we walked on was really rugged and winding. The adults felt exhausted after walking on it, let alone these children with small arms and legs.
However, it is gratifying that they behaved very well along the way today and were able to follow the adults quietly and without making any noise. This is indeed something that deserves praise.
Yao Qingshuang noticed the children's tired and pitiful appearance, and her heart softened immediately.
She turned and walked to the side, calmly taking out a pack of biscuits from her space.
The outer packaging of this pack of biscuits had been opened, but Yao Qingshuang carefully wrapped it tightly with oil paper.
This biscuit is the kind that Yao Qingshuang used to love and couldn't let go of. She especially liked to eat it. The biscuit has a milk flavor and you can smell a rich milky aroma as soon as you open it.
