Maomao didn't lead the way, and Yan'er groped all by memory.
After constant trial and error and going around in circles, Yan Laoer and Qi Da finally found the water pool hidden in a cave.
The pool water is faint, and the cold touch makes people feel refreshed.
"Da Qi, we really found it! We found it!" Old Yan danced with his hands,
Qi grinned, and drank the water in the bamboo tube he was carrying with him in one gulp, happy!
By the light of the fire, the second Yan took a closer look at where the pool of water came from, and gradually deepened it.
"Qi Da, look at these, are they human footprints?" Yan Lao Er asked.
There is no light in the cave, it is all illuminated by the flickering fire, Yan Laoer is not sure if he is wrong.
The two of them lowered their bodies, and the torch was almost attached to the ground.
"Hmm!" Qi Da saw it clearly: "It's footprints."
"Some people have been here, not a few." Yan Laoer followed the footprints and saw more traces of people's activities.
"Should also come to fetch water." Yan's second judged like this.
Who would come here to fetch water?
A disaster victim passing by? People who live nearby?
"Let's go down the mountain quickly, and hurry up and tell the big guys to come and fill the water." Yan Er Er quickly made a judgment that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time.
Whoever it is, it's not a good time for them to be in contact with people.
Qi responded.
The two filled the bamboo tubes they carried with them with water and hurried down.
The way down the mountain was completely different from the way up. Yan Lao Er kept playing the drums, but he felt in his heart that this direction should be correct.
The two of them were in a panic all the way, sliding down the steep slope, and just saw the bright lights not far away.
Getting closer and closer, it's my own team.
The two ran back with smirks.
"We found it, we found the water!" Before Yan's son's loud voice could reach him, he yelled to wake everyone up.
The word water has magic power, and the fatigue of the body is no match for its silent call.
Everyone cheered up, and each family was packing up their own water containers.
"Yan Er, is it far away? Is the road easy?"
"I have to walk for a while. I'm in a cave. It's quite high. The mountain road makes many turns and turns, and it's dark... You just follow me. Qi Dagang and I walked once, and I know it well."
Yan Lao Er repeatedly urged: "Hurry up, I will forget how to get there later."
Yan Huaiwen also silently picked up two buckets.
Yan's second child: "Brother, you can rest, I will take the three treasures up."
"The cow is tired after walking for a day, let it rest more, and we will visit a few more people to save you from running back and forth." Yan Huaiwen greeted a pair of children.
Yan's second child looked over, and Sanbao obeyed his orders and couldn't get up all the time. I don't know who gave it more food and drink, and was chewing happily.
The eldest nephew and eldest niece are fully armed, carrying a big bag behind their backs, which contains water jars and bamboo tubes, the eldest nephew is holding a cauldron, and the eldest niece is holding a jar.
have to!
have to continue acting.
Yan Laoer carried a square bucket by himself, tied all the bamboo tubes in his house with ropes, put them on his body, and walked with a rattling sound.
Men, men and women, old and young, joined the battle, and the silent night became noisy.
Yan Yu rubbed her eyes, feeling sleepy.
Just about to continue to sleep, he suddenly straightened up and sat up.
No way, even the half-grown children went into the mountains to fetch water, and the team's defense was unprecedentedly empty.
Before she greeted them one by one, the Boy Scouts got up one by one.
Spontaneously stay near the team.
Rubbing their loose sleepy eyes and yawning, the little ones were extremely sleepy. The little sticks were leaning on the ground, as if they would fall asleep in the next second.
Li Xuemei kept boiling water, let the boiled water cool down and pack it.
When Yan's second child finally rested, he lay on the frame of the bicycle without moving.
Yan Huaiwen rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand and pressed it on his leg unskillfully.
Yan Er Er hummed a few times at first, but then felt that something was wrong, so he turned around suddenly, almost dodging his back.
"Brother, I'm fine, just lie down." He blushed all of a sudden, sat up numbly, and hid his uncomfortable legs.
Yan Huaiwen said lightly: "My brother and sister boiled water, you scald your feet to relieve fatigue."
"Understood, big brother, I'll bring you a pot later." Yan Lao Er hurriedly said.
Yan Huaiwen nodded.
Li Xuemei saw that her father was running over like a rabbit, hopping and jumping.
"Oh, my mother! Old Yan just pinched my legs!" Yan's second child lowered his voice, his eyes widened, and this incident really surprised him.
"Just press it, that's your brother, you should press it twice, it makes you tired." Li Xuemei thought it was nothing, they are all big men, what's wrong with pressing twice, besides, her father is busy Everything outside is for someone, not for this family.
"Look at our daughter."
Yan Er Er followed her gaze and looked over.
Yan Yu slept like a little pig, snoring regularly.
"The children can't stand it anymore, shall we still be on the road today?" Li Xuemei asked.
Yan Er Er nodded with difficulty.
"I have to go, there are many people who come to fetch water from the cave, we are here at night, if it is daytime, maybe we will run into them.
We know what’s going on, if we can avoid meeting people, try not to meet them. "
Li Xuemei nodded, not only those thieves, but also have to guard against being pointed out their whereabouts.
"If the children are young, let them come to our house to take the car. The place is big and they can move around."
"Okay, I will tell them later, so as not to be crowded with the injured, and dare not move the whole time, it looks so uncomfortable." Yan Er said.
Yan Yu was dreaming, and in the dream she became the crow that could not drink water.
Around the water jar anxiously squawking.
She thought to herself: Idiot, grab a stone!
The crow seemed to have thought of it too. It flapped its wings and was about to take off, but it couldn't fly no matter what.
It's so heavy, so heavy, it can't be moved by its wings.
Yan Yu fell into deep anxiety, is she so heavy? !
She was anxious and woke up.
I saw a little doll crawling on top of her, and when she opened her eyes, she was startled. She quickly retracted her little hand and looked at her pitifully.
If she is not mistaken, she should be the little girl of Uncle Hu's family.
"Xiao Ni, where's your mother?"
Hu Xiaoni pointed her fingers and did not answer.
She glanced around, and was surprised to find that there were many dolls in her car.
Not the ones in the Boy Scouts, but real cubs.
Li Xuemei was gently telling them a story about the crow drinking water...
Maybe the words were too serious, and the children listened attentively, but no one noticed Hu Xiaoni, a little boy who was out of the group.
"Others listen to stories, why don't you?"
Yan Yu hugged Hu Xiaoni over, and the medium-sized child hugged the small-sized child, looking very happy.
Hu Xiaoni looked at her timidly for a while, and seeing that she was not angry, she stepped forward to cover her mouth with her small hand, pouted her mouth, and made a "huhu" sound.
Yan Yu: …
so awkward!
Is she snoring?
Good for you Hu Xiaoni, at such a young age, you have learned such an image!
