Chapter 123 Fish Corpse in the River
Pei Shiqing swallowed what was in his mouth before he spoke, "We have to go out of danger. After fetching water, we still have to look for clues in the village."
Bai Cha nodded, then lowered his head and ate the bread seriously.
Pei Shiqing looked at Bai Cha. This little girl was a bit silly, but fortunately she was obedient.
After eating and drinking, Pei Shiqing packed up everything, put two biscuits in his pocket, and then opened the door of the hut.
Grandma was sitting on the bed and fell asleep.
"Grandma, where should I go to get water?" Pei Shiqing asked.
Grandma forced her eyes open, and then pointed out, "It's just to the south. If you go up the road, you can see a river. Just get water from the river."
"Okay, grandma, please go to sleep." After saying that, she went out.
Bai Cha followed closely behind her, never leaving.
Pei Shiqing bent down and picked up the bucket next to the water tank. He glanced at the water in the tank, which was still half full, and felt doubtful.
There is no one in this village to boil water for cooking, so why fetch water?
She saw that the water in the water tank was only half full yesterday, and today she saw that it had not decreased by half.
But since grandma asked me to fetch water, let’s go and fetch water.
After leaving the door, Pei Shiqing did not look for the river, but turned around and went to the small courtyard next to the well.
She could see Mao Cheng's conspicuous figure from a distance, so he probably didn't dare to enter the house at all.
"I brought you biscuits, you can eat them first." Pei Shiqing handed the biscuits to him, and ignored his thank you, and said: "I feel that water is a taboo thing in this village, so I didn't give it to you.
Bring mineral water, please bear with it for a while and wait until you can come out."
Mao Cheng was really touched. At this time, they were the only players who could help each other. What's the point without water? Just think of him.
"Pei Shiqing..." He flattened his mouth, his face was full of emotion, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Pei Shiqing couldn't bear to see the pitiful appearance of a grown man, so he turned around and left.
Bai Cha looked at Mao Cheng and said, "Don't worry, she will definitely come to save you if she can."
Mao Cheng kept nodding, he believed this.
Not long after leaving, Pei Shiqing and his two men met Ye Li and Huang Ruoxuan, who also came to fetch water.
"You guys should go fetch water too." Huang Ruoxuan said, holding the bucket.
"Well, let's all be careful," Pei Shiqing replied.
Ye Li was fine and led the way.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but Ye Li moved his ears and said, "I seemed to hear the sound of rushing water."
"That should be soon." Huang Ruoxuan said from the side.
Ye Li stood still with a serious look on his face, "Let me ask now, who among you still has any props?"
Pei Shiqing was the first to shake his head.
She had told Ye Li before that hair loss was a side effect of using props, which proved that she had used props.
But she can't reveal that she owns two props. After all, she understands the principle of holding a treasure, and there are too many special things about her. What if they find out and arrest her for research?
Pei Shiqing has always been very vigilant.
Huang Ruoxuan had nothing to hide, "I also have a disposable stand-in doll."
Bai Cha also shook his head, "My disposable props have been used."
Ye Li frowned, "My props can be used, but there are only nineteen minutes left. If it's dangerous later, I'll go first."
Pei Shiqing looked at Ye Li. Although this little girl has a venomous mouth, she is not a bad person.
Now the only prop she has left is Dong Xiaoxiao's eyes. This permanent prop is only a auxiliary function, not a means of saving life.
Huang Ruoxuan's lips twitched but didn't say anything.
After all, he exchanged twenty Resentment Stones for the stand-in doll, which was a one-time item that he could only exchange for one after playing the game four times.
He really couldn't say anything that would put himself in danger.
But no one else blamed him. This was a normal choice. If you put yourself in his shoes, everyone would understand.
"Then let's go." Pei Shiqing took the bucket and ran towards the river.
Soon, the four people arrived at the river at the same time. There was an arch bridge on both sides of the river just upstream.
The pillars of the wooden arch bridge in the water were rotten and looked shaky. Not only that, the river was full of dead fish, and the putrid smell was soaring into the sky.
When I smell the smell of white tea, I can't help but retching. It's so smelly.
Pei Shiqing covered his nose and frowned, how could he fetch water?
Ye Li took the bucket from Huang Ruoxuan's hand and tried to get closer to the river. She stepped in the wet mud by the river and leaned forward to dip the bucket in the water.
Suddenly, a fish burst out of the water, opening its mouth full of fangs and biting at Ye Li.
Ye Li wanted to leave, but his feet sank in.
"Give me your hand!" Pei Shiqing quickly ran over and stretched out his hand to Ye Li, who shook it without hesitation.
With a "bang" sound, Pei Shiqing swung the bucket in his hand, knocked the fish away, and pulled Ye Li back.
Ye Li stomped her feet on the dry land, but her shoes were already covered with smelly mud.
Although the fish was knocked to the ground, more fish with fangs and bodies that rotted to the point where their bones were exposed jumped up in the river.
Their target is even more obvious: these people who want to fetch water.
Bai Cha looked at the fish that was rushing towards the shore one after another, his face was a little pale, "How are you going to get water?"
Huang Ruoxuan had an idea: "If it doesn't work out, I'll go steal it from someone else's house."
"This is a good idea." Ye Li agreed from the side.
After all, any solution is not a solution, as long as it can solve the problem, it is a good solution.
So a few people walked back, but when Huang Ruoxuan sneaked into the yard of a house, they discovered that there was no water in their water tank at all.
He looked at several more stores without giving up, and finally had to admit that there was really no water in any of them.
"Is it possible that only the yards where we players stay will have water?" Bai Cha thought for a while and asked.
"In that case, Quan Youjia's yard should have water." Huang Ruoxuan agreed.
"But Mao Cheng is still here." Bai Cha thought more carefully.
They need water, and Maocheng may also need water. If they take away the water from Maocheng's yard, then Maocheng will have no water.
Ye Li sighed, "It seems we can't avoid it. Let's go. Let's take off our coats and twist them into ropes to see if we can get some water back."
"Rope?" Pei Shiqing thought for a moment. In her backpack, there were not only ropes, but also hiking poles.
Ye Li looked at her doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"I have a rope." Pei Shiqing was very serious.
Ye Li blinked and looked confused, "You brought a rope? Why did you bring the rope?"
Pei Shiqing shrugged, "Be prepared."
