Rebirth in the end of the world: the boss starts from hoarding supplies

Chapter 23 Begging for Water
The temperature was still rising, and the five of them were so hot that they were motionless, and they didn't even want to say a word. Jiang Ran was also on the verge of collapse. She fiddled with the grass, and she lay directly on the ground, sighing comfortably.

There is a dense canopy above the head, the ground is not exposed to direct sunlight, and the temperature is relatively low.

Seeing this, Ji Qinglin also lay down, staring blankly at the crown of the tree above his head, where a large black beetle was lying on the tree trunk to enjoy the shade, motionless.

Looking at it, Ji Qinglin suddenly felt a little sleepy. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. This sleep was very comfortable. When he woke up again, he was shaken awake by his brother Ji Qingcheng.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing his brother's anxious face, Ji Qinglin questioned, and Jiang Ran who was beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, "You are sleeping, and you can't wake up no matter how you scream, your brother is dying of anxiety."

Ji Qingcheng asked: "Do you feel unwell?"

Ji Qinglin shook his head, "I'm just too sleepy, I took a nap, and this sleep was very comfortable."

Ji Qingcheng kicked him lightly, and said in a serious voice: "Then hurry up, don't let everyone wait for you, let's hurry down the mountain while it's cool."

"okay."

Ji Qinglin hurriedly got up, put his backpack on his back and followed everyone to the high speed outside the mountain.

Two hours later, the five of them came down from the mountain smoothly.

Looking from a distance, both sides of the road are densely packed with people, but there are not many people on the road, and many people have just come out of the residential houses on the side of the road to join the migrating crowd.

Because there were too many people, the five Jiang Ran who came down from the mountain did not attract attention. There were still villagers living in the village below the mountain, and several people went to beg for water.

In front of the two-story building, an aunt in her 50s was enjoying the shade under a tree. Jiang Ran walked over and asked, "Auntie, can I ask you for some water?"

The aunt followed the sound and looked over, and when she saw Jiang Ran and the five people in the dust, the aunt pointed to the pressurized well in the courtyard dam and said: "There is no more cool water, you can do it yourself."

"Thank you auntie."

After thanking him, Ji Qinglin trotted over, scooped a ladle of clean water from the bucket next to the well with a gourd ladle and poured it over his head, the cool feeling made him sigh.

Ji Qingcheng also came over and poured a few ladles of water on his head, Guan Song followed closely, picked up the water in the bucket and drank it, Yu Xiaowan wet his face with water to cool down.

Jiang Ran wanted to say that raw water should not be drunk, but everyone acted faster than her, so they kept their words in their stomachs.

She took out the empty mineral water bottle from her backpack, filled the bottle with the water just brought up from the well kill, and put it into the space under the cover of the backpack.

The aunt asked with a smile, "Are you also going to the provincial capital?"

Jiang Ran nodded, "Yes, auntie, don't you want to go to the provincial capital? In such a hot weather, there are scary creatures outside, so the provincial capital is safer."

The aunt smiled and shook her head, "The children are all working in the provincial capital. If I leave, they won't be able to find me. And there is food and drink at home. If they can't stay in the provincial capital, they can come back and settle down. "

Jiang Ran hesitated and said, "Auntie, you still have to think about yourself."

The aunt murmured: "My whole life is for the children, I don't know how to live for myself anymore."

Individuals have personal choices.

Everyone didn't say anything more, just chatted a few irrelevant words, maybe because they had a good chat, when they left, the aunt brought some sun-dried sweet potatoes at home, at least three or four catties.

Jiang Ran refused: "Auntie, you should keep it for yourself, food will be very precious in the future."

The aunt held Jiang Ran's hand, "Take it away, there are still a lot at home, if the children don't come back, it will be cheaper for others sooner or later, why don't you let them take them away."

Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the aunt knew everything, and also understood that the children might not come back.

But as she said, this whole life is for the children, and she no longer knows how to live for herself. Being able to sit quietly under the tree and feel the breeze blowing by may be the best way she can think of to enjoy.
