Chapter 75 It's hard to die for her, the little old lady
Quan Quanjin came to look for our daughter-in-law with her wet hair, and saw her daughter-in-law holding a handkerchief and pulling the water surface again and again.

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to take a bath?"

Qi Quanjin whispered: "Then I will send them away, you wash it?"

"The water is too cold."

Yi Meng is helpless.

She also wanted to take a bath, or even wash her hair.

But the temperature of the water... Washing hands and face is okay, washing hair is fine, she doesn't want to catch a cold.

Qi Quanjin nodded after hearing this: "That's right, the water is really cold for you women."

Scratching his wet hair, Quan Jin looked around: "Then let's boil some water?"

"Row!"

Yi Meng agrees.

Although they didn't bring pots, they did have crock pots!

That thing boils water no problem.

Qi Quanjin did what he said, and was about to go to collect firewood, but was stopped by Yi Meng: "If you want to wash, wash them all, don't be the only one doing it, otherwise everyone will think I'm squeamish when I go back."

Although everyone has assumed that Yi Meng is a delicate woman, as long as she doesn't say it, she can pretend that she doesn't know.

Qi Qijin faced another difficulty: "There is still some distance from the foot of the mountain, so they may not be willing to come up."

"Let's go back and ask! I'll go back with you."

Yi Meng felt that it was necessary for her to do some ideological work for her family members.

She doesn't care if others don't want to wash, but the Qi family is different.

Anyway, she couldn't accept the existence of such creatures as lice and fleas.

Even if you are on the way to escape, as long as you can make your life easier, let's try to make it easier!
Quan Quanjin did not refuse this time.

When I went back to send news, the only people who came were men from the village who came to fetch water, and women and children would definitely not come.

Besides, the daughter-in-law was going to take a bath, so he had to find a way to convince the villagers to wait a little longer before setting off.

He is even more worried about leaving his wife to guard the water source in this deep mountain and old forest, so it is best to go back with him.

In the end, it was decided to let Quan Yin and Quan Li stay.

These two reacted quickly and moved quickly. Among other things, they were definitely good at escaping.

So leave them to look at the water source, disperse small animals if there are any, and run away if there are big animals.

Qi Dafu and Qi Sangui were very strong, and each of them carried a large back basket with a large jar of clean water in it, and two wooden barrels in their hands, which were also full of clean water.

Seeing them like this, Yi Meng really wanted to tell them that they don't have to take them with them, otherwise the whole family will come back later, and it will be troublesome to go back and forth.

but……

Yimeng can't guarantee that he and Quanquanjin will be able to persuade his family to come to the water, so let's take them back!
If you don't come all over, it's good to wipe yourself with a little hot water at the foot of the mountain.

Quan Quanjin was also carrying a jar and two wooden barrels.

Yi Meng is light-handed and quick-footed, only responsible for carrying her basket with wild vegetables on her back.

It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. With such a heavy bucket and water jar, it is even more difficult to go down the mountain.

Halfway through the walk, I finally met people in the village who went uphill to fetch water.

"Brother Qi, you guys are really amazing, you really found water!"

The leading teenager looked excitedly at the bucket carried by Quan Quanjin.

Qi Quanjin put the bucket on a relatively flat place, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "It's just luck. Don't rush back. I'll go down the mountain and talk to the whole village to see if everyone is willing to go to the water." Rest and recuperate."

"What? Are you all going up the mountain?"

Someone in the crowd asked back: "Shall we all go up the mountain?"

"That's right! The water in the creek is quite clear. Our group hasn't washed and washed for several days. We take this opportunity to freshen up well, so that we can relax when we are on the road."

Qi Quanjin sighed, and said again: "Look at our current attire, although it is better than the real fleeing ones, but it is not much stronger. No wonder the people in the village under the mountain won't even let us get close."

These words can be said to have successfully pierced the hearts of everyone present.

Although they were not a famine fleeing team, the lack of water to wash and wash in the past few days, coupled with the exhaustion of the journey, made everyone's mental state and appearance extremely sloppy and haggard.

Not to mention the villagers at the foot of the mountain, even if they see such outsiders in their own village, they don't want them to enter the village.

The leading young man thought for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Success! Fourth brother Qi, I will go down the mountain with you! My old lady has bad legs and feet, and it is not easy to go up the mountain by herself."

There are also young men in the team who also expressed that they would go back to pick up their families.

There are really no lazy people in Yongping Village. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as conditions permit, each of them is quite clean.

In this way, other people who originally didn't want to go down the mountain and then go up the mountain can't say anything against it.

So the cheering people went down the mountain again.

At the same time, at the resting place of the team in Yongping Village, everyone saw Qingshui brought down by Ji Hu, and their faces turned into flowers with smiles.

With water, they can survive!
There are also some women who took advantage of this time to dig some wild vegetables around, which can be regarded as filling some rations for the whole family, and they are all in a good mood.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the village was exceptionally harmonious.

When Qi Manman woke up, he didn't see his mother, his mouth was pursed, and he wanted to cry for no reason.

It was Qi Cheng who noticed that something was wrong with his precious granddaughter, and hurriedly put the child into his arms, and said softly: "Man Bao'er, be good, your father will come back with water later, when the time comes, the milk will make batter for you to eat. OK?"

"water?"

As soon as Qi Manman heard the water, he didn't want to cry instantly. He blinked his big eyes and asked, "Grandma, is there really water? Can Man Baoer wash her hair? It's so itchy!"

As he spoke, he scratched his hair with his chubby claws.

Don't mention itching, Qi Cheng didn't feel anything, and now when she heard her granddaughter's words, she felt uncomfortable in an instant.

In her first 40 years, she didn't take a bath many times, and she didn't feel itchy.

But since the fourth daughter-in-law came in, she reminded her to take a bath frequently. After a long time, she got used to wiping her body every now and then.

Now that she suddenly didn't wash for several days, and even didn't even brush her hair properly, Qi Cheng felt uncomfortable.

My hair was itchy, my body was itchy, and my toes were hooked in my shoes after I hadn't washed it for several days.

Alas, even the feet are uncomfortable.

She, the old lady, wanted to take a bath too.

What?

But it's not easy to carry the water down the mountain, and my children and grandchildren don't feel sorry for it, but it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth.

At that time, will it delay the time for the villagers to start their journey, or will they let their families reduce water consumption again?

No matter which one, Qi Cheng didn't want to see it.

Wash or bear it, but it's really hard for her, a little old lady, to die.
