Chapter 116 Infiltrating the Bai Family Army ([-])
It just so happened that people outside kept coming to deliver freshly collected raw water, saying that they had found a stream originating from the mountains, and the water quality was not bad, so they would not worry about collecting more drinking water for the next two or three days.

Qi Ke walked to the big water filter bucket and looked for a while, went to the firewood pile to pick up a dry branch, checked the water filter buckets one by one, and found a reason why the water filter was not clear.

To put it bluntly, it is worthless, the material for filtering water is too little, and the water outlet is too big. The branch in Qi Ke's hand can pass directly through the water outlet. , The kitchen camp has no time to wait for the water to come out slowly.

After discovering the problem, he immediately rectified it. Qi Ke first picked a filter bucket as a demonstration. He tried to glue up the water outlet to narrow the opening, and spread more water filter materials in the bucket. Qi Ke also asked the cook for a piece of steamed noodles. The old drawer cloth, folded a few folds and spread it on the mouth of the barrel, pour the raw water directly, filter the drawer cloth first, then charcoal powder, fine sand, coarse sand and pebbles, take a clean bowl and wait at the bottom of the barrel , the filtered water received is much clearer than before.

Filtration of water can only be done slowly, the water consumption of the kitchen camp is too large to wait, this is the contradiction, but how to solve the contradiction is beyond Qi Mayu’s inquiring. General Mou Shen led her back to the resting place, and then he was busy returning to life went.

During the time when Qi Ke left, her ox cart had already been set up, and those young people were still together. Seeing her coming back, they warmly invited her to eat dry food together, and introduced themselves to each other.

The older sister who treated Qi Ke kindly from the very beginning is called Qian Youqiao. The first child born in the family is 17 years old. She is called Elder Sister Qiao. She has an engaged fiancé named Cheng Yin among them. , known as the second brother Yin, he has an older brother named Cheng Feng, who is naturally called Big Brother Feng, married and had children, that small family is in another team, they are all single or married boys and girls here.

That is to say, the atmosphere in the north is open, or the living environment is harsh. Men and women are used to working and fighting together, defending the border and jointly resisting harassment and aggression by foreign races. close contact.

Qi Ke's account post stated that she was fifteen or sixteen years old, which happened to be the age of adulthood. In addition, she said before that her family members died and relatives robbed the inheritance, so let them make up their own brains that unscrupulous relatives deliberately saw Qi Ke become an adult. There was just good reason to throw her out, and it was vicious to throw a girl out of a house in these times of disaster.

After receiving the allotted dry food, Qi Ke was not in a hurry to eat, but brought two big gourds and a box of soapy bath beans from his car, and asked each of them to wash their hands before eating to prevent the disease from entering the mouth.

Because of the cholera and dysentery plague that I said before, these young people put down the dry food in their hands one after another, jumped out of the car and washed their hands with soap in turn. While they were washing, Qi Ke told them that the problem of water filtration was solved, and today I found a water source with better water quality. If a large amount of water can be stored overnight, at least the water consumption for the next two or three days can be managed.

Cheng Yin and the others immediately said that they would go to the kitchen camp to help after eating the dry food. If they could save enough water for two or three days, then they would be able to reach the next bigger city, and they could send people into the city to collect food from the public on each street. Drinking water is drawn from drinking wells, which are generally deep wells in cities, and the water quality must be much cleaner than that in the wild.
