A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 60 Washing Your Hands
Li Xiuyuan looked down, and could only sigh helplessly, it was only the two of them who were so soft-spoken.

In fact, this refugee riot itself is a very good opportunity. With food, it is relatively easy to accept refugees.

It's a pity that they are still too young, less than ten years old. If they want to manage a refugee team, they must either have outstanding strength or have force to suppress them. Otherwise, these refugees are likely to rebel, and the bamboo basket will be empty.

There is no other way, and now they can only watch these refugees walk into the trap set by the government.

Li Xiuyuan was feeling sorry, when he suddenly heard a sound of "Boom, boom, boom" coming from behind him, he turned his head subconsciously, and saw Bai Xia chopping down trees with an axe.

???

"Bai Xia, what are you doing?"

Bai Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him, took out the section of tree trunk that was put into the transformation pool, threw it at his feet, left an ax by the way, and continued to chop down the tree.

Li Xiuyuan's complexion changed, and he knelt down to pick up the axe, but after trying several times, he couldn't pick up the axe.

He looked at the wood and axes on the ground with a dark face, walked up to Bai Xia and said, "Give me a hatchet."

The ax was too heavy for him to hold, and if he forced himself to hold it, he was afraid that it would hit his foot.

Without raising his head, Bai Xia directly handed him a hatchet. Li Xiuyuan took the hatchet, squatted in front of the piece of wood, and began to smooth the wood piece by piece.

The two of them had their own things to do, and soon, it was getting dark, Bai Xia gradually stopped his hands, and the wood in Li Xiuyuan's hand changed from the original cylindrical shape to an oval shape.

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

She sat down next to him, raised her head and wiped the sweat from her brow.

With the road map, they didn't have to follow the refugee team too closely, so the two of Bai Xia didn't hurry all afternoon. Bai Xia was so strong that he chopped down a total of twenty trees. At this moment, these trees had become the energy value in her transformation pool.

She took out Li Xiuyuan's bamboo tube and took a big sip of water, because her bamboo tube was put into the transformation pool and hadn't been taken out yet, so both of them drank the water in Li Xiuyuan's bamboo tube.

As soon as she gulped down, there was not much water left in the bamboo tube.

Li Xiuyuan looked at it, felt a little distressed, licked his lips dryly, but instead of asking Bai Xia to give him water, he took out a penny and said, "A steamed bun"

He felt that he was very poor, he only had less than ten taels of silver, because the silver he earned paid off the food expenses he owed Bai Xia, so he had a little money left.

He has to save it.

Bai Xia first took out the fire pocket and lit the fire, added some dry firewood, and under the light of the fire, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She put two more beds out, took out the clothes and spread them on the beds. After finishing all these, she took out the earthen pot, poured the water from the bamboo tube into the earthen pot, put her hand in, and poured water to wash her hands.

"Bai Xia, what are you doing..." Li Xiuyuan was shocked, they finally found some water today, and she used it to wash their hands.

But before he finished speaking, Bai Xia caught him, grabbed his hand and pressed it to the opening of the crock pot, soaked some water from inside, and washed his hands.

Before Li Xiuyuan could react from the shock of Bai Xia washing his hands with water, Bai Xia had already washed him, putting his hands and her own on the mouth of the earthen jar to dry, and the water in the jar had long since turned pitch black, as if stained with ink.

"Bai Xia, this is our last bit of water." He didn't know that Bai Xia could already transform water.

He was too busy during the day, busy registering, busy distributing food, and later found something wrong with the road map. He didn't have time to think about where the bamboo tube that Bai Xia took away went. Now that Bai Xia washed his hands abnormally, he suddenly reacted belatedly and asked, "You...you have the magic power to turn water?"

Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why she didn't drink water sparingly, and even used water to wash her hands.

Although the water was only a thin layer, it looked like a few sips of water, but for Li Xiuyuan, who was sipping and drinking bit by bit, his heart still hurts.

"No." Bai Xia shook her head, then took out a rough bread and handed it to him.

Li Xiuyuan took it and wanted to ask again, but Bai Xia obviously didn't want to talk to him, so he could only sit on the bed embarrassingly, biting the steamed bun.

While eating, a bamboo tube suddenly appeared in front of him.

He looked up at Bai Xia, who said, "Drink, don't choke to death."

She can only transform or take out 3 times a day. When she was studying the bamboo tube during the day, she transformed once. Now she has taken two more bamboo tubes of water. Today's opportunity has been used up.

But knowing that three bamboo tubes of water can be taken out every day, so Bai Xia doesn't need to be particularly frugal. The desire to wash her hair is not fulfilled yet, but the desire to wash her hands can be arranged first, otherwise the rough-faced steamed buns that are taken out every time will look like they are dyed.

Li Xiuyuan took the bamboo tube, intending to ask her how she got here, but thinking of her magical abilities, she silently closed her mouth.

Seeing that he didn't ask, Bai Xia also breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of losing the vest is not good.

What she ate was not steamed buns, but brown rice and jerky. She needed more energy for martial arts training. Compared with steamed buns, meat was more in line with her needs for martial arts. She ate slowly, chewed slowly, and drank a sip of water from time to time. The feeling of being able to drink water was really refreshing.

Bai Xia ate, tears welling up in her eyes, feeling that the day had finally started to move forward.

Li Xiuyuan didn't know what was going on in her heart, and was still thinking about what to do with those refugees.

The two slowly finished their meal, and half of the water in the two bamboo tubes went down.

A bamboo tube contained about 500 milliliters of water. Both of them were very thirsty. While eating and drinking, they drank so much without knowing it.

"Bai Xia, do we still have water?" Li Xiuyuan shook the bamboo tube in his hand, a little worried.

"Don't worry, at least you won't die of thirst"

Bai Xia comforted her.

Then she took out the grate, handed it to Li Xiuyuan, and said, "Grate the lice on my head for me."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned, looking at the grate handed in front of him, his face suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "This black light is blind, how can you see it?"

When a man combs a woman's hair, it has a different meaning. He has never combed a woman's hair before, and for a while, he didn't dare to take over.

"Where is it dark? It's quite bright. I think I have a lot of lice growing on my head. Hurry up, don't dawdle, and help me to grate it. I guess I didn't grate it clean last time. These lice grow so fast. You have to be more careful this time. Squeeze all these lice to me, and don't keep any of them."

"When you fix it for me, I'll help you fix it"

Bai Xia looked up at the fire, and it was indeed quite bright. Without any explanation, he stuffed the grate into Li Xiuyuan's hand, then climbed onto the bed by himself, hung his head outside, and lay down on the bed, with his feet sticking out directly from the edge of the bed on the other side.

Li Xiuyuan held the grate, hesitated for a while, and then walked to the bed with red face and red ears.
