Chapter 6 No water...
The sky was white and there were a few shadowy clouds in the sky. Sister-in-law Jiang's voice woke up the whole team.
"There are clouds! It's going to rain!"
Almost everyone jumped up and looked at the few clouds with fascination, but the older people all glanced at it and lowered their heads and sighed.
"Why are you shouting? A gust of wind will blow them all away in a moment! Pack your things quickly and get on your way!" Aunt Jiang finished scolding and lowered her head to pack the few luggage.
Sister-in-law Jiang felt resentful, and Sister-in-law Jiang warmly greeted everyone, "Hurry and clean up, the sun will be strong later, and it will be too hot."
"You are the only one who is a good old man!" Sister-in-law Jiang said, giving Sister-in-law Jiang a rollicking look.
Both of them were honest people and ignored her.
After walking for a while, the sun rose, the weather became hotter and hotter, a slight breeze blew, and the few clouds in the morning disappeared without a trace.
The children of the Jiang family took turns riding the oxcart for a while, but despite this, they all looked as listless as eggplants beaten by frost.
Jiang Wei took out the bamboo tube, shook it, opened it, looked at it, and sighed softly.
Finding water didn't go well last night, so no one got any water. Now I guess except for Aunt Jiang and Jiang Nan who still have some, the other bamboo tubes are all empty.
Seeing that her precious daughter had no water to drink, Aunt Jiang hurriedly handed the bamboo tube over, "Girl, I still have some here."
"Thank you, mother!" Jiang Wei said, took a sip in a sensible manner, and then handed it to He Cuicui.
Although Aunt Jiang didn't say anything, He Cuicui still saw her unkind expression, so she didn't answer, "I can hold on for a while longer, let uncle and aunt drink."
As she spoke, she licked her dry lips.
Aunt Jiang's expression softened slightly.
Along the way, the bark of grass roots and trees had been stripped away, and there was not even a place for shade. Everyone had to put their tattered clothes on their heads and continue to move forward in the scorching sun.
People were just listless at noon, but in the afternoon, the children fainted one after another, including Jiang Dong, the fifth eldest child of the Jiang family.
The same goes for other families.
The team had to stop.
"What's wrong with this? Are we going to die here?!" Sister-in-law Jiang, holding Yao'er in her arms, sat on the ground and howled.
Aunt Jiang scolded angrily: "I want to die while I'm at it! If you're so good at howling, why don't you think of a way to get some water quickly!"
Sister-in-law Jiang was scolded, and all her resentment was directed at Jiang Tong, "What about you! Why don't you hurry up and find her! Look at the youngest, she has been asleep for half an hour, and she can't wake her up no matter how hard she screams!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, He Tiantian thought of the camp after being attacked by zombies in the apocalypse. It was the same at that time. People were scattered around, but only half of them stood up again.
She sneaked into the space, but only found the last half bottle of water.
He Cuicui was already leaning on her, and Jiang Wei was also drowsy. Half a bottle of water couldn't save so many people.
Although Mrs. Jiang was venomous, she couldn't bear to see her child fall, so she poured three parts of the water in the bamboo tube, one part for Jiang Wei, one part for herself, and the other part for Mrs. Jiang.
"Here, I'll give the kids something to drink, that's all I have left."
Her share was not just for the old couple, the bamboo tube in Jiangnan was also empty.
Sister-in-law Jiang took it, dipped it in the mouths of the three children, and then handed the bamboo tube to Sister-in-law Jiang.
Sister-in-law Jiang rolled her eyes and hurriedly gave water to the children. The two girls drank first, and both of them touched their lips. When the third child came, she turned her back to block everyone's sight.
Seeing that she had been feeding for a long time, Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly said: "Third Sister-in-law, don't drink them all! My five children are all waiting eagerly!"
Sister-in-law Jiang turned around and handed the bamboo tube to her, "Here!"
Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly asked Jiang Daya to pick her up, but Daya actually walked back with an aggrieved look on her face, "Mom! Look!"
She held the bamboo tube upside down and not a drop of water leaked out.
Fourth Sister-in-law Jiang got anxious and stood up and shouted to Third Sister-in-law Jiang: "Third Sister-in-law! Is what you are doing called human affairs? Your children are children, and other people's children are just shit?"
Sister-in-law Jiang rolled her eyes and hugged the youngest of her family tightly, "I am the son, the one who spreads the incense to the Jiang family. Those girls of yours will die if you drink less than a few sips!"
"You!" Sister-in-law Jiang's eyes were red, as if she wanted to eat someone, "What you said is so personal? Why can't your two daughters tolerate it?!"
"Then what can I do? It's my family's turn to drink. How can you blame me for not having enough water?!" Sister-in-law Jiang said with squinting eyes.
Sister-in-law Jiang was so anxious that she fell down.
This time, even Jiang Jin, who had always been honest, couldn't stand it anymore. He said in a deep voice: "If you want to say that we are the eldest grandson of our family, you are the eldest grandson of my family. If you love your son, other people's children are also descended from their mothers. If you
Being so selfish, we just...just..."
"Let's have a fight!" Jiang Shi got impatient and scolded, "If you can, go with everyone. If you can't, go alone!"
With that said, Jiang Shi handed the old couple's bamboo tube to the fourth family.
Seeing this, He Tiantian hurriedly said: "I have a little more here, give it to Brother Jiang's house!"
As she spoke, she handed the bamboo tube to He Cuicui and asked her to give it to Lao Wu's family.
Lao Wu Jiangdong's twins, the twins and the phoenixes, all fell down. Seeing this, they looked at her gratefully.
Seeing Mrs. Jiang looking at him unkindly, He Tiantian quickly took Jiang Wei's bamboo tube and fed her water to show that there was still water in it.
Aunt Jiang's eyes softened.
This is not a problem. Although the half bottle of water in her space is not a big deal, it can always make the family survive for two more days, but she just can't take it out.
She frowned and thought for a while, then her eyes fell on Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan happened to be looking towards her without knowing what he was thinking.
We stayed up until dark, several children developed fever, and the weak adults couldn't bear it and fell ill.
While everyone was not paying attention, He Tiantian waved to Jiang Nan.
Jiang Nan walked around to her side, and the two of them squatted down next to the bullock cart.
"Brother Jiang Liu, I still have some water here. Share it with them." He Tiantian said while taking out the bamboo tube that had been secretly packed.
Jiang Nan's eyes were solemn, "You gave me this several times along the way. I've always wanted to ask, where does your water come from?"
"It's not stolen anyway." He Tiantian muttered softly.
Jiang Nan didn't answer, "If you don't make it clear, I won't want it."
"Then you have to watch them go..." He Tiantian couldn't say the word death. It was easy to say, but it was such a painful memory.
Jiang Nan's eyes moved slightly, his dry lips moved, but in the end he remained silent and took the bamboo tube.
Naturally, he couldn't take it out openly. It happened that the villagers organized a group to look for water, so he went with it.
This time Aunt Jiang asked Jiang Yin to follow her, and the surrounding area quickly became quiet, with only low hums heard one after another.
Everything was safe. He Tiantian quickly entered the dream space.
She had to check the solar still she set up last night. If she couldn't get water, let alone these people, her own life would be in danger.
As soon as the plastic sheet was lifted, He Tiantian's eyes lit up instantly.
