"After all, you don't want to wade through the water to work in the fields, do you?"
Xie Jinglong suddenly realized: "Oh! So you asked me to get the shovel just to drain the water!"
Xia Tian nodded: "That's right, we just need to dig a few holes in the rice fields, and the water will flow out naturally."
Xie Jinglong continued to ask, "Then you asked them to bring buckets, was it to scoop out the water that couldn't be drained out?"
Xia Tian smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. If we rely on buckets to fill it out, how long will it take to drain all the water out?"
"The reason I asked you to take the bucket is to put the spoils in it later."
Hearing him say this, Qiu Mengyun asked curiously, "Spoils of war? You can get spoils of war by working in the fields? What are they?"
Xia Tian: "I'm not sure now, probably snails, crabs, or crayfish."
"But I'm not sure about the latter two species. The only thing I can be sure of is that there are definitely river snails."
"It'll only take a while to drain the water, and since we're free anyway, I figured we might as well go to the fields and pick up some snails. We can fry them and have them with wine tonight."
Hearing Xia Tian's answer, Qiu Mengyun immediately became energetic.
She pulled Xia Tian's hand and urged, "So this is used to hold snails. I just saw Chen Qingqing and Fang Wenxuan also holding buckets and heading towards the fields."
"They're probably picking up snails and crayfish. Let's go quickly, or they'll have picked them all up if we're late."
Xia Tian asked in confusion: "They even have trouble cooking, why are they picking up these things?"
Qiu Mengyun curled her lips: "Who knows? Maybe they want to pick up more and exchange them with us for food."
Xia Tian nodded: "Yeah! If that's the case, then you do have some brains."
