Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 34 The calm before the rainstorm

They all told her that heavy rain was coming, so it was not Mei Qian's character not to make some preparations at this time.

After relaxing her muscles at the bow of the boat in the morning, Mei Qian went to the stern of the boat to boil another pot of water.

Although they are now surrounded by clear river water, Mei Qian still uses a simple water purification device made of linen, sand and some charcoal chips to filter the water before boiling it.

This kind of water filtering device, except that Mei Qian didn't have time to make it when their family was in a panic at the beginning. Later, after following the Chen family's motorcade, Mei Qian started to make this device.

Mei Qian's movements caught Li Baizhou's attention. Han was helping her sister-in-law cut the reeds. Seeing Li Baizhou sitting opposite, staring at Mei Qian, she asked: "Hey, boy Li, do you think Qian, too?" Isn’t it a little troublesome to do this?”

Hearing Han's greeting, Li Baizhou turned to look at Han.

Mrs. Han noticed that her sister-in-law was also looking at her, so she whispered: "The water in this river is so clean, why do you think this girl has to go through such trouble?
It was just a matter of boiling water before, and I really didn't have any stomach upset that way. Later, this girl made it more and more troublesome. She said that she wouldn't have stomach upset this way. According to her, drinking some water was not enough for her.

I'm dying of thirst. "

Han's complaint was not intentional on her part. If she really didn't want the trouble, Han could just lie down on the bow of the boat and drink the water directly.

It can be seen that Mrs. Han, who has been nurtured by Mei Qian's habit for so many days, only talks about it. In addition, Mrs. Jiang found that Han's lips were a little dry and cracked, so she quietly handed over a newly cut reed root.

Mrs. Jiang also peeled off the skin specially and said as if coaxing a child: "Okay, sister-in-law, try this. It's sweet and has a lot of juice."

"is it?"

Sure enough, she stopped complaining as Han put the reed root into her mouth and chewed it.

However, Mrs. Jiang also noticed that Li Baizhou was still looking at them, and said: "I think we have finished drinking the water last night. Everyone was in a hurry to drink water early in the morning."

Li Baizhou suddenly remembered the pot of water that Mei Qian handed him last night. At that time, Mei Qian seemed to remind him that it was for drinking.

He just cleaned the wound, but he didn't expect that the water would be used and everyone would have no water to drink, which would cause this incident.

"But...doesn't treating water like that really not cause diarrhea?"

Li Baizhou asked curiously, and both Han and Jiang shook their heads. Probably only the person involved really knew about this.

At the moment, Mei Qian is boiling the filtered water in an underwater pot. She also throws in the reed roots she cleaned last night to change the taste.

After doing all this, the movement behind her made Mei Qian turn her head, and she happened to face Li Baizhou who came out.

"Don't you have a headache? Why don't you take a good rest?"

"I'm a little stuffy, let's come out and take a breath."

Even though both ends of the cabin were open for ventilation, not long after the morning glow dissipated, the air gradually began to feel stuffy.

The oppressive feeling before the heavy rain is coming has been felt by everyone.

"Is this thing of yours said to prevent diarrhea when drinking water?"

Mei Qian did not expect that her proposed filter device would attract Li Baizhou's attention.

"No, just try to reduce it as much as possible. This can filter out a lot of visible impurities in the water."

Mei Qian doesn't guarantee it.

"Then you boil water..."

"It's all about reducing the possibility of getting sick. Boiling water can kill many things that we can't see with the naked eye."

"What is that? What is it that we can't see?"

If the other party didn't look really serious and was really asking, Mei Qian would have suspected that the other party was a gangster.

"They say it's invisible to the naked eye, so how do I know? I've only heard some veteran doctors say it. The doctor said, 'Diseases enter through the mouth.'"

"Disease, from, mouth, enter."

Li Baizhou listened thoughtfully, but Mei Qian only noticed his sudden trance and did not disturb him.

Mei Qian's reaction to Li Baizhou was quite expected, so her level of performance was not too out of the ordinary, and everything she saw and knew was learned from "others".

Midway, Mei Qian felt a little hot from boiling the water. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her head and realized that the canal was extremely calm at this time, without a trace of cool breeze.

Mei Qian looked at the dragonflies not far away that were also flying very low along the water. Mei Qian was not good at judging the weather by looking at the morning glow and sunset, but she didn't know anything about the changes in front of her. "Gudu~"

Suddenly, there was a wave on the river, and Mei Qian watched a fish that was not too small floating up to take a breath.

"Gudu~"

"Gudu~"

The fish seemed to be breathing as if they were infected. They floated up one by one, and the occasional tossing waves made Mei Qian mesmerized and almost drooled.

"Want to eat fish?"

At this time, Li Baizhou suddenly asked.

"You don't want to eat it?" Mei Qian glanced at the other party, "The fish in this river are all fat and strong. No matter how they are cooked, they are all delicious. Anyone who sees them will be moved."

After Mei Qian finished speaking, she said with some regret in her heart: "It would be great if there were fishing nets."

As soon as she finished speaking, a fishing net woven from a combination of reed poles and water onions suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"This is……"

"Second aunt made it."

As for Li Baizhou being so quick to affectionately call her mother Second Auntie, Mei Qian had already exclaimed in surprise at the hand-knitted net bag handed over by him: "Mom, your hands are so skillful!"

Jiang smiled slightly: "I see that this reed pole is harder than the reeds next to it. It takes time to process, but I did cut off some of it, so I didn't want to waste it."

While Jiang was talking, Han had already taken out the simple coir raincoat that Jiang had made before, and called the arrogant "porter" Li Baizhou to put it on Xiao Hui.

Perhaps animals also have very sharp intuition. Xiao Hui was very satisfied with the clothes he was wearing and even made a few loud noises to express his joy.

After getting the fishing net, Mei Qian couldn't wait to go fishing, but fishing was completely different from what she imagined.

Yu'er, who was targeted by Mei Qian, also said: We came up for air, not to die.

"Outrageous!"

Mei Qian clearly caught the fish several times in a row, but because the fish was too strong, it jumped out of the net bag.

Several times in a row, Mei Qian herself felt very tired.

"How about I try it instead?"

Seeing that Mei Qian missed the fish again, Li Baizhou took the initiative to ask for help, which made Mei Qian very suspicious.

"Are you sure? You are still injured, but your head doesn't hurt anymore?"

"I just caught some fish to make fish soup to replenish my body." After Li Baizhou finished speaking, he looked at Mei Qian and couldn't help asking seductively, "Do you want to drink it?"

"Yes! You do it?"

Mei Qian did not lose her mind at the last moment, but cautiously asked who made the fish soup.

Li Baizhou was silent for a moment and then said: "Okay, I will do it."

"Then I also want to eat grilled fish."

"can."

"Deal~"

Li Baizhou was obviously doing the physical work, but in the end, during the back-and-forth exchanges with Mei Qian, he still made demands of Mei Qian. In the end, even the subsequent cooking was clearly arranged by Mei Qian.

After Mei Qian handed the net bag to the other party, she laughed so hard behind her back that she couldn't even see her eyes.

【Xiao Mei! Today we have two portions of delicious food~]

　Mei Qian: It’s great to still have something to eat without having to cook by yourself~
　　Li Baizhou:......
