Return to the place where you just hunted the pig.
Qi Da replaced Luo Laosan.
When they left, Luo Laosan was sharpening his knife.
Three wild boars were hung up and bled, but the meat had not yet been removed.
They found a smelly quagmire nearby, which should be a place where wild boars often roam.
All the way up, there was no trace of water at all.
Everyone was a little restless.
"We've come such a long way, why haven't we arrived yet? Are we looking in the wrong direction?" Hu Er asked.
Boss Luo shook his head: "If there is water, it should be in this direction. Look at the growth of these trees. Are they better than other places?"
Yan Laoer took a look and found that it was indeed lush and green, with no shortage of water.
He dug on the ground with his feet and found that the soil moisture was higher than that at the bottom of the mountain.
You should not be looking in the wrong direction.
"Go forward a little further." Luo Laodao said.
Hu Da had a different view: "No, look around. There are deep and shallow scratches on the trees and rocks. It's too dangerous. We can't go any further."
"Can you tell what kind of animal's claw it is?" Qi Si asked.
Hu Da shook his head: "We don't have any serious hunters here, but those in the deep mountains and forests are either big cats or bears."
Yan Laoer looked around subconsciously.
Then he saw a beautiful spotted one...
"That! That! It's on the tree!" Yan Laoer said hoarsely, not even daring to take a breath.
He hurriedly handed the iron crossbow to Hu Laoer.
Hu Laoer easily shot an arrow.
The little guy was very alert. He jumped between the branches and disappeared several times.
"It's okay, it's a lynx." Boss Hu picked up the arrow and said.
Lynx?
Yan Laoer calmed down. Fortunately, it was not a leopard. The sight of it frightened him.
Qi Si noticed his nervousness and shook the wooden stick in his hand.
"Brother Yan, I'm here!"
Qi Da didn't know what Qi Si said, but he never left Yan Laoer. When he heard the words, he couldn't help but nodded: "Don't worry." He also waved the wooden stick very hard.
Yan Laoer: It’s very good. My happiness index is soaring right now.
Yan Laoer's courage suddenly rose.
"If we still can't find it if we walk up there for another two-quarters of an hour, we'll go back first."
Everyone nodded and continued to move forward.
Time passed minute by minute, just as they were about to return.
Qi Da looked around blankly and asked: "What... did you hear?"
What did you hear? There were the noisy chirping of insects and the chirping of birds everywhere, as well as the rustling sound of the leaves blown by the wind or the friction between the leaves.
Yan Laoer suddenly twitched his nose twice.
It's water vapor!
"There's water! It's nearby!" he shouted.
He ran forward desperately.
Finally, behind a hillside that blocked the view, I saw a real mountain stream.
The gurgling water flows gently through the mountains, soothing the lives on both sides.
The stream water collided with the rocks, was thrown into the air, and then fell down with crystals all over it.
The water is extremely clear.
You can even see small fish as long as one finger swimming upstream against the stream.
Everyone cried with joy!
They finally, finally found water!
They were all fathers, but a few of them couldn't help but run over happily.
Qi Wu was about to pick up the water and take a sip.
He was interrupted by Yan Laoer's "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Yan Laoer said anxiously and incoherently: "Stop it all, stop it quickly!"
Everyone is still giving Yan Laoer face. Since leaving the village, Yan Laoer seems to have changed into a different person. He doesn’t hold books and talks in an informal manner that they don’t understand... leading the way and going out to help the villagers.
Change some food from time to time, stay vigil with them, grab food together, go out hunting together... It's quite popular.
Everyone looked at him blankly.
Yan Laoer took a long breath and finally stopped.
"Wait until we finish fetching the water, and you can reach out again. Otherwise, how can you drink the water if it is muddy?"
It's a stream, but the water channel is a bit shallow. If they splash too much, the entire area will suffer.
He took a closer look and said, "How about we go over there and get water here, and we guys can wash down below. To be honest, I can't stand the smell on my body."
Boss Luo laughed and said, "My mother also dislikes me."
Hu Da Dao: "There is no man who doesn't stink. We are always on the road. Where can I go to make myself smell good?!"
"It doesn't matter whether it stinks or not, I just want to jump in and cool off." Hu Er was eager to get into the water.
"Look at the water, it can cover your ankles." Yan Laoer suggested: "Let's bring it to everyone. Everyone hasn't cleaned it up for a long time. This time, let's take a few days to rest and give it to us."
Bring all the buckets, pots, and pots, fill them all up, and then set off on the road when you are full of water."
No one dislikes this proposal.
It's been too long since they had free access to water.
They are willing to guard this creek, not to mention a few days, but a few months.
Of course, we definitely can’t stay for a long time. Is it appropriate to just bring people here?
"The folks will definitely be happy, but will we run into big guys again here?" Qi Si asked.
"Let's burn a few fires here and clean up the surroundings and along the road. It won't take much effort. We'll chop more wood and burn it all day long. Animals are afraid of fire and won't dare to approach." Yan Laoer quickly delineated one.
place.
"I think that area is pretty good. The ground is flat, so people like us can live in it even if we are crowded."
"This road is not easy to walk. It may be a bit difficult to pull things up." Mr. Luo frowned.
Yan Laoer said: "It's okay. My three treasures are very strong. If it doesn't work, just run a few more times."
What are you waiting for?
The group of people quickly went down the mountain, clearing the dead branches and roots of old trees along the way.
Seeing these people come back empty-handed, everyone can't help but feel a little disappointed.
No water found?
I saw Yan Laoer running all the way to where his brother was.
Yan Huaiwen was watching Luo Laosan busy with his hands behind his back.
Most of the people in the village, young and old, are concentrated here.
In previous years, when the New Year pig was slaughtered, the whole village would come to watch and enjoy the fun.
Not to mention that these three wild boars were hunted by our own family.
The meaning is different.
Everyone is in a strange mood.
"Brother! We found water! We found water!" Yan Laoer was as happy as a child.
Yan Huaiwen was shocked when he heard the words, and his smile gradually rose.
The villagers stared and opened their mouths, constantly checking with others: "Really? Have you really found water?"
"Found it!" The men who came back all promised with their chests patted and smiles on their faces.
Three wild boars suddenly fell out of favor.
Luo Laosan stabbed the pig with his knife and joined the cheering team.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go get water right now." Village Chief Luo immediately shouted.
"Dad! Dad! The water is there. He can't escape, so don't worry." Mr. Luo comforted his father.
I heard Yan Lao'er say to his brother and everyone: "It's inconvenient to carry water from one trip to the next. We have so many people, so we have to use so much water, and it's not easy to use. Why don't we go up there and go there first?"
Stay by the stream for a few days and have a good rest."
