Chapter 25 Water Scarcity
After breakfast, Yan Xiaomi came to the instructor for training as usual, but saw Hei Niu's five-year-old son Xiaolei sitting on a small bench crying, and Jin Fang was training him with a dark face.

"What's wrong with Xiaolei? Why are you crying?" She stroked the little boy's hairy head and asked softly.

"I spilled water, and my mother beat me, woo~ woo~." Xiaolei said, wiping away tears and sobbing aggrievedly.

Jin Fang said angrily at the side: "There is almost no water in the house. Give him a glass of water to drink. If he doesn't drink, he spills it everywhere. You say it's annoying."

Yan Xiaomi has long known that the water in the reservoir is undrinkable, but almost every household here has an organic well and a reservoir. At the beginning of the end of the world, when the well water is still drinkable, they should have filled the reservoir. Bar.

She guessed right. Every household in the village had water storage. When no one came to the village at first, there was still a lot of water left. Later, when more people came, the water was consumed quickly.

It is already very good to be able to persist for nearly two months before the water shortage started.

"Sister Fang, the child is still young and ignorant, don't quarrel with him," Yan Xiaomi looked at Xiaolei, who was usually lively and lively, with his head lowered and dumbfounded, feeling pitiful.

Xiaolei looked at her mother's face, she seemed to be less fierce, and went to grab her by the corner of her clothes, "Mom, I was wrong, I will never sprinkle water everywhere again."

Seeing that the child knew he was wrong, Jin Fang stopped talking about him, and told Yan Xiaomi about the water shortage, "There are only a few households in the village that still have some water, and others have to exchange things with people with water abilities. We have a lot of families, and this little thing at home can’t change much water, Hei Niu and the others are going to visit the water plant in the city in the next two days.”

"If you're just looking for water, you don't need to go. My house has it. Just take a bucket to my house to fetch water." Yan Xiaomi said quickly.

Several coaches tried their best to teach, and she saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart. She was really grateful. It was inconvenient to take out other things, but water was still available, without any special effect.

"How can I do that? It's not easy for you to live alone. With so many of us, your little water will be used up in a few days. What will you use then?" Jin Fang refused her request without hesitation. kindness.

The two were talking, and other people came out of the room one after another. Yan Xiaomi went directly to Mu Ye, "Captain Mu, I heard that you are going to the city to find water. If you don't do other things, my well can still be used." , Don’t go, just go to my house to get water.”

"Your well works?" Mu Ye asked in surprise, "I tried the well at home, and the water it released was black. Are you sure your well water is okay?"

"I'm sure, a pool of water was pumped from the well two days ago. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look."

The people in the house looked at each other in blank dismay, the tap water in the city was unusable, the well water and lake water in the whole village were unusable, only the well in Yan Xiaomi's house was normal, which was strange, everyone decided to go and have a look now.

Except for Mu Ye and Wu Yu, no one else has ever been to Yan Xiaomi's house. One is that there is a little girl, and it is inconvenient for a big man to go to his house. Can't get in.

When the group came to the foot of the mountain, Yan Xiaomi asked Xiaomei in his mind to instruct the flower wall to let the others pass, only to see that the originally impenetrable flower wall automatically moved away a two-meter-wide arched door.

It startled people who had never seen it before, and Xiaolei even opened his mouth wide, stunned. Is this magic?

When a group of people walked in, the flower wall closed again with a "swish", making them sigh again, what kind of fairy operation is this, it is too humane!

The members of Mu Ye's team exchanged glances with each other calmly, and did not ask any questions. Yan Xiaomi was still thinking about how to explain the origin of the flower wall all the way. Seeing that they didn't ask, she simply kept silent.

When they arrived at Yan Xiaomi's house, she first showed everyone the well, and then took them up to the third floor to look at the clean water in the cistern.

I have come here, and I simply visited the upstairs and downstairs yards. Anyway, I can't see anything special about the house with the naked eye.

After researching for a long time, I couldn't figure out why. In addition, I saw the "lively" of the protective gable wall. If I can't figure it out, I just don't think about it. I just need to make sure that the water is drinkable, and there is still unlimited supply.

Thinking of the unlimited supply, a few people suddenly felt itchy all over. Since the tap water in the city was cut off, in order to save water, they hadn’t bathed for more than a month. They went out to kill zombies and train every day. Dirty.

Immediately, a group of people used Yan Xiaomi's buckets, cauldrons, and large laundry tubs. Anyway, all the large-capacity utensils that can hold water were filled with water. I went back to take a shower, Yan Xiaomi also kindly donated a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of body wash.

Yan Xiaomi sent them away, thinking of the usually serious and aloof instructor who was scrambling for water because he could take a bath, and bent over smiling with his mouth covered.

In fact, it is also understandable. Before the end of the world, people are very clean people. They have to take a bath almost every day. They have not taken a bath for more than a month, and they sweat every day. It's not bad if it's simple and clean enough to barely maintain a personal appearance, but it stinks all over the body.

Because they needed to fetch water at home, Yan Xiaomi and Mu Ye's contacts increased significantly. Jin Fang and the others would sometimes bring Xiao Lei over to play with Huzi and Mimi.

The cute little Lu Fei who is almost a hundred days old is very fond of Yan Xiaomi's fluffy chickens and ducklings, who often watch intently in Wang Jing's arms.

Yan Xiaomi thinks that the three sister-in-laws are all good, Wang Jing is introverted and gentle, Jin Fang is honest and restrained, Gao Lili is bright and generous and can speak well.

They often come to the house and see flocks of chickens, ducks and rabbits, a large basket of eggs in the house, and a storehouse full of grain, but they never ask for a dish or a rice.

In Jin Fang's simple words: "We are all military wives, and we cannot tarnish the faces of soldiers with shallow eyes."

There is another reason why I like to bring children to Yan Xiaomi's house. I don't know if it is because of the fragrance of roses. I always feel that my breathing is very smooth and my mind is clear.

And after drinking the water from her house for a while, the phlegm that used to be stuck in the trachea has disappeared.

Gao Lili talked about these things with Houzi in private, but Houzi just told her not to worry so much, don't try to take advantage of others, just walk around with Yan Xiaomi more.

Wang Jing asked Lu Feng directly when he was leaving, and if she was not in a hurry, she would like to stay for a while.

Lu Feng asked her why, and she said that Feifei often coughed at night before, but after drinking water from Yan Xiaomi's house and often going to her house to play, she slept very soundly at night and looked much better.

The members of the team discussed the issue of leaving. Mu Ye and Wu Yu's family members are all in Beijing. After the apocalypse, they have been in touch with their family through special communication equipment. Fortunately, the family members are all safe.

Xiong Gui's hometown is in the northwest desert, communication was inconvenient in the first place, and now the journey back is even more difficult.

Lu Feng's monkey Hei Niu's family is in Jiucheng. He bought a house by himself, and he didn't live with his parents. He went back to see it in the last days, but he couldn't survive the disaster, so he simply went to Beijing together.

Monkey's leg is broken and he can't move quickly, and Lu Fei is too young, plus the supplies for the road have to be prepared, Dam Village is still safe for the time being, so they plan to leave after a while.

Before leaving, I still have to go to the city again to find some gasoline, medicine and other necessary supplies on the road.
