Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 6 Water-carrying Skills
  After hearing Sun Xiangyang's words, Dudu grabbed the glass beads on the ground and quickly got up, his little face full of excitement.

Normally, Chen Shuting wouldn't let her go out and could only stay at home and play by herself. But now her father wanted to take her out to play, which was not her request.

Just like that, Sun Xiangyang walked in front carrying two empty buckets. Dudu picked up a branch from somewhere in his hand and followed behind with a bang.

The picture is full of harmony.

Occasionally I met some villagers on the road, and they all looked at Sun Xiangyang with a strange look.

Is the sun coming out west?

When Sun Xiangyang's family lost two children, he was also frail and sickly when he was born. In many people's minds, Sun Xiangyang was a sick boy who hid at home all year round and never showed up.

Have you ever seen him doing farm work in the fields?

Not to mention fetching water.

"Xiang Yang, are you going to fetch water from Shangougou?"

Finally, someone stopped Sun Xiangyang. It was the women's director of the village.

"Yes, Aunt Seven."

Sun Xiangyang stopped and responded.

"Are you feeling better? You've never carried water before, so don't show off. Wait until your seventh uncle is free, and I'll ask him to carry two loads for your family."

Chen Xiangqin said naturally.

The two families are not actually related by blood, but in rural areas, seniority can always be discussed.

"It's okay. My health is much better now than before, and it's time to help with some work at home."

Sun Xiangyang said mockingly.

In fact, although the original owner's body and bones were poor before, he was not weak. In this era, it was rare for someone who was born in a rural area but had not done much farm work.

"Okay, you are old now. You have a daughter-in-law. You can help the family. Your mother and your daughter-in-law can also relax more easily. But the road there is not easy. Please be careful. I will look for the old branch secretary later. Let him go to the commune and cry a lot, and quickly invite the well-drilling team so that everyone can have water."

Chen Xiangqin couldn't help but said.

From her words, it was obvious that she did not place any hope of finding water on Sun Xiangyang.

"Grandma Qi, the old party secretary said my father can find water."

Behind him, Dudu said proudly.

"The old branch secretary is looking for you again?"

Chen Xiangqin was a little surprised, but she also knew the situation of Sun Xiangyang's family. She paused and then said: "If you can really find water, then there is no need to say that Aunt Seven will definitely support you. Now it is different from before. In our Shuangshui Bay , no one can do anything to you."

"I understand, Aunt Seven."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

Saying goodbye to each other, Sun Xiangyang led Dudu forward.

"Dudu, from now on, don't tell anyone about our family affairs casually to outsiders, do you understand?"

"I know. Grandma said Grandma Qi is a good person. She gave me delicious food last time, so I told her that if she was a bad person, I wouldn't talk to her."

Dudu nodded vigorously, and it was clear that there was a distinction between good and evil in his little heart.

Sun Xiangyang reminded her, but he didn't mean to blame him. How could a child of four or five years old be able to distinguish so many things? When she spoke just now, there was a hint of arrogance in and out of her words. She obviously thought that his father was capable. .

As for whether a good person or a bad person really cares and appreciates him, he couldn't tell it before, but it's different now.

Of course, just because he didn't get experience points doesn't mean he's a bad guy.

These days, my family doesn’t have enough food or clothing, so it’s good to be able to take care of my family. Where can I get so much kindness?
  When you are in trouble, you are already a good person if you don't add insult to injury.

Moreover, it is not just ordinary people who can hold the position of female director. However, this incident also reminded him that he should try to avoid certain things in the future, and he should not treat Dudu as an airhead just because she is young.

Not long after, the two of them followed a path to the ravine. Because the road was difficult to walk, Sun Xiangyang asked Dudu to wait on top while he went down to fetch water.

Nowadays, there are no children in the countryside. Every household is used to letting children go free. When they are four or five years old, they will play with their friends in the village alone. At meal time, you can often hear some shouts looking for children.

If you are worried, just follow the adults to 'work' in the fields.

Two or three years older, he is already a master at washing, cooking, collecting firewood, and taking care of his younger siblings.

People who live in plains or mountains have difficulty understanding the topographic features of the Loess Plateau.

In short, there are thousands of ravines and ravines.

If you look down from high in the sky, it looks like the earth is broken.

Therefore, this ravine is not surrounded by steep and steep mountains. It is more like a gap in the earth.

The saying that there must be water between two mountains does not apply here.

The reason why there is water here is mainly because the terrain is low enough. Of course, there happens to be a water vein underneath.

Otherwise, there are many ravines like this, but not every ravine has water, so there will not be a serious water shortage here.

Sun Xiangyang fetched water and carried it with a pole. To be honest, it was a bit awkward. Fortunately, in his previous life in the countryside, he also carried water. After getting used to it, he found the feeling.

[You have mastered the water-carrying skill. 】

Sun Xiangyang was stunned for a moment by the reminder that suddenly appeared in text form in his mind.

Water carrying skills?
  He couldn't help but summon the panel, and in the skill column, he saw this skill: Water Carrying [First Practice for Beginners].

Sun Xiangyang was very happy to see this prompt.

It's not that he's happy to have learned how to carry water, but this tip indicates that he can skill up more things.

For example: cutting wheat, hoeing, driving, maintenance, and even medical skills and martial arts.

As long as he can study seriously, as long as he can get started, does it mean that he can continue to improve with experience?
  This also strengthened Sun Xiangyang's idea of ​​staying in Shuangshui Bay, because only here can he get enough experience.

Now, as the whole village is facing difficulty in drinking water, everyone is eager to dig a new well in the village.

How much would this earnest expectation turn into true gratitude?
  Even if there are many white-eyed wolves in the village, they are definitely far beyond the experience given.

So this deal can be done.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiangyang felt full of strength. He picked up the water and walked back along the path.

Perhaps because someone fell down in the morning, some steps were dug out on the path here, allowing you to stand on it.

But even so, when Sun Xiangyang climbed up, he was still panting from exhaustion, and his legs were limp, as if they no longer belonged to him.

Even though he gained 10 points of experience last night and improved his physical fitness a little, he was still very weak.

This is mainly due to the fact that his body bones have been bad since he was a child, and he was born with deficiencies.

After coming up, Sun Xiangyang put down his pole and prepared to take a good rest, then he heard the sound of children not far away.

"Little broken boy, lost star, father is gone, mother is dead..."

"You're talking nonsense. I now have a father, a mother, and a grandma."

"Your current parents are not biologically related. Your biological father and mother have long since died. Moreover, your current father is still a sick man. He might die one day too. You are just a little loser."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangyang's face became extremely ugly.

He walked towards that direction quickly with soft steps, one step deep and one shallow.
