Everyone looked at Ms. Wang. After yesterday's fight with the group of victims from another village, they knew she had an idea.
The sky was turning white, and it was almost dawn. No one could sleep due to such a fuss, so they simply sat around the Xu family's fire and asked Wang to pay attention.
Xu Yue and the others were woken up. After all, they were not really children. It was about precious water sources. It was difficult to fall asleep again.
Xu Da motioned to them to calm down. If the sky fell, there would still be tall people holding them up, so they could keep their eyes open for a while.
The three brothers and sisters shook their heads, and Xu Da followed them. He got up and went to the fire to listen to what Wang had to say.
He told him that if that group of people comes again, they will be killed directly!
The adults were discussing something. Xu Yue and Xu Erniang came over and were immediately kicked back as ignorant children.
The two sisters looked at each other helplessly and had to find something to do.
Xu Erniang asked mysteriously: "Sister, have you brought the leather water bag we got from the neighbor's old man's house?"
Xu Yue nodded, "Bring it, sister, do you want it?"
Xu Erniang hummed and motioned for her to bring the water bag, and the two of them came to the pond together.
The adults gathered around the fire to discuss how to deal with the cannibal scum. The woman looked after the children. No one noticed the two sisters by the pond except Xu Dalang who was staring at Xu Yue.
Xu Yue took out the old water bag that was soaked with pulp from her waist and handed it to Xu Erniang. Because she had just filled it with water, the water bag was quite heavy.
Xu Erniang pulled the stopper open, poured out the water inside, and then looked around furtively. After making sure no one was paying attention, she raised her eyebrows at Xu Yueyi to signal her to keep an eye on it.
Xu Yue looked at Xu Erniang curiously, not knowing what trick she was going to play, but she also guessed that she was not seeing anyone, so she moved slightly to Xu Erniang's side to block her.
Xu Erniang was seen kneeling on the ground, placing the water bag flat on her knees, clasping her two small hands on her chest, and began to chant a lengthy mantra devoutly.
A magical scene happened. A ball of white light appeared in Xu Erniang's palm and came out from between her fingers.
The light was not too bright, as if there were a handful of fireflies hidden in my hand.
Immediately afterwards, she suddenly stopped the spell and began to turn her fingers, skillfully and quickly, and soon a light blue six-pointed star array was formed above the skin water bag.
With another stroke of his finger, the six-pointed star merged into a stream of light and merged into the water bag.
There was a flash of light and everything returned to normal.
But Xu Yue knew that the old-looking leather water bag must have undergone some changes.
Xu Erniang was even more impatient than she was. She immediately squatted by the pond and filled the water bag.
The sound of "gulu gulu" bubbles sounded, and the water flow seemed to be sucked into a huge container, and "hoo ho" flowed into the water bag.
It took Xu Yue more than ten seconds to fill the water bag before, but now half a minute has passed and the water bag seems not to be full yet.
"Is it a space formation?" Xu Yue exclaimed.
Xu Erniang shook her head, "No, it's the water condensation technique. I suddenly thought of it."
She hasn't had the chance to practice such an advanced technique as space formation.
Xu Yue asked curiously, "Did you compress the water?"
Xu Erniang nodded, "That's right."
While the two were talking, the movement in the water stopped. Xu Erniang took out the water bag, handed it to Xu Yue, and confidently motioned for her to pour it out and take a look.
Xu Yue nodded. It was the first time she saw magic. She was a little excited.
She held the water bag in her hand, and it was really amazing that she didn't feel any increase in weight even though it contained so much extra water.
Holding the water bag in both hands, she poured it into the pond, and the water flowed out. Xu Yue waited for a full minute before draining the water.
"How many liters of water is this?" Xu Yue looked at Xu Erniang in surprise.
Xu Erniang made an estimate and replied with dissatisfaction: "Ten liters."
A full twenty kilograms of water, ten times more than the original amount!
Xu Yue's inner shock could no longer be described in words. She remembered that her mother-in-law was worrying about the water container before, but now she saw that she only needed seven more water bladders.
Xu Yue looked at the rabbit skin that had been peeled off by her cheap dad in her hay house, and asked tentatively: "Sister, can you make a water bag?"
Xu Erniang twitched her lips, "No."
"All right......"
Xu Yue was a little disappointed, but she quickly regained her energy, "Is it okay to use a bamboo tube?"
Xu Erniang: "No."
"Where's the clay pot?"
"no!"
"Where are the leaves?"
"no!"
Xu Yue sighed, "Then I can only try to see if I can make a few more skin water bags. I have to try it. I'll go talk to my mother-in-law!"
Xu Erniang shrugged and let her go.
Wang had already discussed the results with the villagers of Dawang Village and was preparing to continue to implement the "fight and run" policy. She had just deployed her defense in the morning and was about to take half of the people to hunt when she saw Xu Yue running towards her.
When the little girl came closer, she saw that she was still making arrangements, so she stood aside and waited sensibly.
Mrs. Wang waved her hand to Wang Dahai and others to prepare first. After they dispersed, she looked down at the little girl beside her and asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong?"
Xu Yue waved to her mother to lower her head, whispered in her ear about Xu Erniang's research on water condensation technique, and handed over the leather water bag filled with water.
"Look, grandma, it contains ten liters of water." Xu Yue suppressed her excitement and said in a low voice.
This was really a surprise. Mrs. Wang weighed the water bag and raised her eyes to look at Xu Erniang. The little girl winked at her playfully, her eyes full of pride.
Wang shook her head and laughed helplessly, returned the water bag to Xu Yue, patted her little head, "I know what to do, just wait until I come back."
Do you know this? Xu Yue is a little confused.
Wang didn't say much, since she would know it when she saw it. She knelt down and asked Xu Yue:
"Can you braid string?"
Xu Yue nodded, and Wang asked them to find more thin vines to weave into thin ropes, or find vines that could be used directly as ropes.
After explaining, without even eating breakfast, Wang took Wang Dayou and other eight people and headed towards the forest.
Xu Da, Wang Dahai and another male villager, as well as the women, plus Xu Dalang, who has hidden combat power, can survive even if they suddenly encounter a group of men with bulging eyes.
Return to the main force.
Besides, the Wang family will not go too far with Wang Dayou and others.
Because the pond is in the heart of the forest, there are a lot of wild animals to hunt just around here.
Xu Yue listened to her mother's advice, and after receiving a taro from her cheap father, she took her brother and sister to look for vines nearby that could be used as ropes.
The mountains are rich in resources, and it didn't take much effort for her to find several paper mulberry trees.
This kind of tree is very common in rural areas. Its bark is easy to peel and has strong toughness. Once peeled off, it can become a whole tree.
When Xu Yue was a child, she followed her grandma to cut firewood in the mountains. Her grandma would chop down two branches of paper mulberry trees and use the torn bark to bundle the firewood.
The old man in the village also said that when they were poor and had no clothes to wear, they would use this bark to make clothes.
Xu Yue thought to herself that if she took it back and studied it with her cheap father, she might be able to get a pair of bark shoes to wear.
