My Magic Age

Chapter 42 43. Life on the Caravan (Part 2)

There is a shortage of water in the caravan, but it is not so serious in the dance troupe. Although the dance troupe also restricts water use, the regulations are not strict. At least everyone can wash their faces, and the water they drink is not restricted. There seems to be endless water in the caravan. I don’t believe that such a large caravan can carry more than 20 dancers in the car to provide domestic water for more than a month. I asked Catalina how often this caravan usually stores water. Water, Catalina held her red hair with her hands and thought about it for a long time before finally telling me uncertainly: She had never seen these caravans storing water.

"Where does the water you usually drink come from?" I asked curiously.

Catalina pouted her little mouth and said with some embarrassment: "What weird things are in your little head? I have never thought about where the water we usually drink comes from. No matter what What are you doing, as long as you have water to drink!”

In the cold season of early spring, Catalina only wore a thin suspender top and tight shorts in the caravan, showing off her exquisite and shapely figure. She squinted her pink eyes and showed off her coquettishness to me, trying to hide it. She was speechless and embarrassed at being asked by a five-year-old child. Catalina has a more youthful atmosphere than Singer. In terms of appearance and figure, she is much better than Singer. In addition, she has a pair of particularly charming light red eyes, which makes her even more unique. At 175 centimeters tall, she is slightly smaller than Singer, but Singer's body looks a bit tough and lacks some softness. But Singer has been the chief maid of Qiniang for a long time, and he has enough aura to intimidate all the girls in the caravan. This is also Singer's unique temperament.

Singer opened the door after checking the dancers' morning lessons and walked in. He saw Catalina and I eating breakfast around the bedside table. He walked over and bent down, holding Catalina's pink little ears and said angrily: "You... Little Rabbit is very unhappy now. He can't get up from bed every day and dare not go to morning classes. I'll leave after I see Jia recover. What will you do?"

"Hey, sister Singer, it hurts so much!" Caterina was held by Singer's ears and said in apology. Singer and Caterina's relationship was as good as sisters, and Caterina was six years older than Singer. She is more lively and weak in character, far less capable than Singer. Singer always wants to help Katarina establish prestige in the dance troupe before leaving the dance troupe, but Katarina always likes to hide in the dance troupe. Singer was slacking off under his wing, and he happened to be caught by Singer.

I quickly changed the topic and asked Singer where the water in the caravan came from.

Singer was also very surprised that I could ask this, and then took me to the back room of the bathroom in the magic caravan. She pushed open the upper cupboard-like door, revealing a one-meter-square water tank inside. I could still see the top of the water tank. Clear water is constantly flowing out of the hanging funnel, and a magic scroll is placed on the entire funnel. On the scroll is written There are mysterious water patterns and runic circles, and a magic crystal the size of a fingernail is inlaid on the leather in the center. A rich aura of water magic elements rushes towards me, and I can even clearly feel the magic. The flow of magic power in the magic pattern array on the scroll follows a specific trajectory and actually forms a unique water gathering array. I was greatly impressed by this exquisite magic pattern array. The circle outlined by simple magic patterns and bright lines was filled with moist water vapor, forming a cloud of rain clouds in the space one meter above the funnel. The water drops ticked into the funnel, forming a clear stream of water that flowed into the water tank below.

It suddenly dawned on me that such an exquisite magic scroll could supply water for the entire caravan.

This is something I have never thought of. It turns out that magic scrolls can be used in life. In fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago. Isn't this magic caravan a huge steel scroll with a magic pattern engraved on it? This magic scroll with the function of gathering water is not even the most basic scroll. Isn't that simple magic pattern the same pattern I saw on the parchment scroll that Old Kuru gave me a few days ago? The pattern looks very simple, and the magic paper used in the magic scroll is also the magic antelope leather that I am familiar with. It is not a valuable thing. Maybe the only valuable thing is the magic crystal in the center of the scroll.

Singer pointed to the complete set of utensils inside and said, "See it! We rely on this for daily water."

He scratched my little nose again and said, "I'm satisfied now."

The magic scroll hanging in the air was like opening a door for me. I thought the inscription master could do the same. I found that I became more and more interested in the wonderful field of inscriptions.

...beautiful dividing line...

The caravan found a small stream in this valley. The clear and cold water poured down the steep mountain wall on one side of the canyon, forming several waterfalls with a height of several tens of meters. A half-acre-sized pool was carved out of the rocky ground. Splashing water mist spread around the pool in the valley, decorating the area of ​​blue waves like a fairyland. Under the light, there is a seven-color rainbow across the creek and pond. This creek flows southward along the valley into the interior of the Pai Plateau, and will eventually disappear into the vast wilderness. If it is a rainy season, the water in this creek can even flow into Tonlé Sap Lake, the largest freshwater lake on the Pai Plateau.

Encountering such a good water source is crucial for the dozens of thunder rhinos in the caravan. Although these thunder rhinos can go without water or food for several months, this will consume a lot of energy in their bodies. They are said to die when they pass through the Xinghu Grassland. The salt railway on the road, arrived safely It took twenty-seven days to reach the entrance of the Pai Plateau Valley, and then it took more than a week of trekking to finally find this water source. The hoarse and low roar of the thunder rhinoceros and the roar of the thunder rhinoceros tapping the ground with the soles of its huge forelimbs due to restlessness, It's like the sound of war drums on the battlefield.

I looked out from the caravan and saw Master Leipas standing on the back of the Thunder Rhinoceros at the front. He had already entered the water mist generated by the torrent of the waterfall, and the figure of the Thunder Rhinoceros was looming. The Thunder Rhinoceros, which was more than one kilometer long, could no longer maintain its original neat formation, and rushed towards the smoky water source in a fan-shaped array.

When the magic caravan stopped a hundred meters away from the waterfall, it formed a rectangular square formation extremely skillfully, forming an offensive and defensive camp. This is the first time in the past ten days that the caravan has chosen to camp and rest at noon. Seeing the clear pool water and the green grass on the shore in the distance, Catalina cheered, hugged me and said happily, "Now I can finally go swimming. Jia, can you swim?"

"It's okay!" I replied and looked out the window.

The Thunder Rhino team was eventually driven to the grassland five hundred meters downstream. Because there was sufficient water here, the valley was covered with green grass. The Thunder Rhinos who unloaded the goods were banished to a distant pasture by the driver to graze. , I saw Uncle Fred leading the men from the caravan to set up tents by the creek from a distance. It seemed that Mr. Leipas had given up the best green grass on the edge of the pond to the dance group.

Katarina woke up Kong Zhen who was lying on the upper bunk to catch up on her sleep. This quiet and well-behaved little girl's biggest hobby was to lie down in her den and sleep like a bear, which made her cute and chubby face grow longer. After losing the baby fat, she looks even cuter. Catalina said to the dazed Kong Zhen: "Really, let's go wash clothes together. The caravan found a water source. The water is very clear!"

"Oh! Okay." This silly girl never knows how to refuse, as long as she can do something, as long as someone asks her.

The other dancers in the caravan also got Singer's permission, and one after another they walked out of the caravan holding wooden basins, and gathered around the edge of the pool in twos and threes. From time to time, there were sounds of small silver bells and frolics, and at the rumble waterfall The roar could be heard faintly, adding a bit of vitality to the valley. Katarina, Kong Zhen and I also followed the crowd out of the caravan, and the three of us walked together. My shyness and reserve gained me a lot of popularity. The other dancers in the caravan also knew that Catalina took care of a seriously injured child every day. This child did not have any of the bad habits of playboys. He doesn't tease anyone, he is very polite, and he is a not too annoying child. The most important thing is that this child is very popular with Qiniang. After getting along with each other these days, I feel familiar with the girls in the caravan even if I can't pronounce them by name. When they meet, they will smile and say hello or nod.

Dancers from other caravans also came out one after another, carrying whole basins of clothes and running towards the pond.

The caravan camp was set up by a stream a few hundred meters away from the dance group. I originally wanted to run out and catch fish with Kuz, but Catalina held my little hand tightly and refused to let me go far. I begged me to wait for her to finish washing the clothes and let her accompany me. Seeing her big pale red eyes flashing with water, I reluctantly agreed, and she broke down in tears and smiled.

When Tia appeared in front of me holding the horse, I thought my eyes were hallucinating. These days, I have always thought that he died in the battle. During the battle at the mouth of the canyon that day, Tia was a forward scout to explore the way ahead. We never received a warning, so I thought that Tia was ambushed and killed by dwarf bandits, otherwise How could it be possible not to find those hundreds of dwarf bandits in this narrow valley?

I raised my face and looked at him riding on the Gubo Lai horse, with a snow-white gauze on his forehead, so I sneered and asked him: "Tiago, those dwarves didn't invite you to sit in their underground castle? "

Tia smiled awkwardly and just said: "I ran out, and I was only a few seconds away from death."

Sister Guoguo, who was following behind, had already jumped off the horse lightly, threw the horse's reins to Tia, and said to him, "Go over there and help me drink the horse."

After Tia led the two horses away in despair, Sister Guoguo said: "You are always sarcastic when you see him. How did he learn to be so sharp-tongued at such a young age? Hey, what he is good at is wilderness survival skills. Ranger, I’m not very good at detecting things at night. If I come back alive this time, I’ll just pick it up. Everyone has to respect life.”

Seeing Sister Guoguo slowly approaching, Catalina on the side quickly held up the hem of her skirt and squatted down slightly, giving a shallow salute. This is a courtesy that common people treat nobles. It is only used in some formal occasions. It can also be used to show respect to people you respect. Guoguo walked over, looked at Catalina carefully and nodded to her. Then he looked at me with frivolous eyebrows and said, "Jia, you look pretty good lately?"

I quickly ran up to her and held her hand, which made her look a little brighter. Somewhat unconfidently, I fiddled with my long chestnut hair and squatted down to look at me carefully, and asked me, "Do you still have nightmares these days?"

"I rarely do it, sister. I think I'm almost well. You see I can run and jump and nothing's wrong." I broke away from her hand, flipped on the grass, and showed off to Sister Guoguo with one hand on my waist. I told Qige this two days ago, and I also said my idea frankly, that is, I want to move back to live on the Thunder Rhino, but Qige didn't agree.

Catalina behind me heard me say this again, and hurriedly stood up from the pond, wiped her hands with her apron and continued my words: "Jia, the cold sweat you sweat every night after sleeping can soak your pajamas, how can you say that you are well?"

This silly red-haired girl obviously doesn't know how charming she is. What does it feel like to squeeze on the same bed with her every night? Recently, I often have an idea in my mind, that is, if I live like this for a long time, if my body habitually shows overflowing desires in my heart, but my body has no reaction, wouldn't it be terrible?

Sister Guoguo patted my face lovingly and smiled at me, saying, "Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. Stay here with Qige for a few more days. How can you feel uneasy when you have such a beautiful sister by your side?"

I thought to myself, how can you know what I'm thinking? Hey! She touched my broken arm, and it has grown well now. In more than ten days, the bone joints have even healed completely, and I can even lift some heavy objects. What's more exaggerated is that the scratches on my body have disappeared at this time, and Singer and Katrina are amazed.

"Oh, you've recovered quite well." Sister Guoguo picked me up and sniffed my forehead affectionately. She said happily, "I haven't been able to give you your spoils of war. I'll get them for you later!"

"I still have spoils of war?"

This is something worth looking forward to for me, who is penniless. Kuz and I have always wanted to have some property. He wants to get a high-quality ironwood bow, while I just want some pocket money. Every time I see that my pockets are cleaner than my face, I feel that I have failed as much as I can in the past two years.
