Chapter 17: Sister will turn it into white rice for you to eat

"People in Qingshui Village, listen, each family leaves one or two strong laborers here to protect everyone's property, the elderly and children. Others can hold water bags to fill the water."

The old village chief spoke, and everyone obeyed his arrangement.

The people of Qingshui Village have no other good qualities except that they are united and obey orders.

Everyone brought their own empty water bags and walked quickly in the direction Qiao Ran pointed.

Such a big movement alerted people in other surrounding villages.

After quietly asking around, everyone became uneasy when they heard that the people in Qingshui Village had found the water source.

He quickly found his own water bag and chased after it, fearing that he would not be able to grab the water if he was too slow.

When Qiao Ran came back, she avoided Wang Lusheng and made her own way back from the other side.

Therefore, the villagers who went to fetch water did not encounter Wang Lusheng, and had no idea that Wang Lusheng was still walking around in the mountains.

Following the direction pointed by Qiao Ran's broken branch, everyone quickly found the small pool at the bottom of the mountain stream. As expected, there was a clear spring in the pool.

"Water! There really is water!"

"Oh my God! There is so much water here! There is no end to the road! Thank you God for blessing!"

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed forward to fill their water bags with water.

After the folks from Qingshui Village filled the water bags, when people from other villages arrived a step behind, the water in the pond was almost bottoming out.

Put down the water bag, and the mud and sand are mixed with water and poured into the water bag.

However, no one could care less about it.

Water, every drop of water is more precious than oil!

What's the big deal if there's sediment? Go back and pour it into the bucket to settle, and the sediment will settle down.

People from other villages took water bags to grab water one after another. There were too many people. Some people filled one water bag and took out the second water bag but couldn't get the water, while others only got half the water bag.

Except for Wang Lusheng's family, every household in Qingshui Village has water bladders filled with clear mountain spring water.

Wang Lusheng's parents thought that their son would come back soon with Qiao Ran. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the villagers from other villages who went to fetch water later came back, but their son was still nowhere to be seen.

They couldn't sit still anymore and quickly got up to find Qiao Ran.

"Ran Yatou, why did you come back alone? Where is my Lu Sheng?"

Qiao Ran, who was sitting under the shade of a tree and having her shoulders massaged by a few carrot heads, raised her eyebrows and asked strangely: "I went to fetch water alone, of course I came back alone! Come to me and ask your Wang Lusheng, I How do you know?"

Aunt Wang was anxious: "Lu Sheng said that he would follow you to find the water source. You have been back for a long time. Where is my Lu Sheng?"

Qiao Ran shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands: "I don't know, I haven't seen him."

"Impossible! He followed you!"

The anxious Aunt Wang's voice became shrill, attracting the attention of the old village chief.

"What are you doing? Your Lu Sheng is such a big man. How can Ran Yatou still hide him? Maybe he got lost in the woods. Why don't you go find someone quickly? Is it useful to ask Ran Yatou? ?”

When the Wang couple saw that the old village chief had come to defend Qiao Ran, a fool, they did not dare to bother anymore and quickly asked the villagers to help look after their belongings. They hurried to find their son.

Qiao Ran doesn't care about Wang Lusheng's life or death!

It's not like she asked him to follow her. He got lost on his own, but it had nothing to do with her, Qiao Ran.

Her shoulders were massaged comfortably by several younger brothers and sisters, and the little ones asked questions from time to time.

"Sister, is it sour here?"

"Sister, is it comfortable to press like this? Do you want to press harder?"

"Sister, are your legs sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?"

Qiao Ran was so moved by the enthusiasm of these little guys.

Although she was not tired at all, these little guys came around with sincere faces and insisted on serving her, a hard-working eldest sister, so she accepted it with peace of mind.

Surrounding her to massage her were Qiao Xi, Qiao Bei and Qiao Xing Qiao Yue. Qiao Dong and Qiao Nan went to the woods to find dry firewood and have not returned yet.

Five-year-old Qiao Bei looked at his eldest sister with bright stars twinkling in his eyes.

He said with admiration: "Sister, you are really amazing! Not only can you find so many sweet potatoes, but you can also find water sources. Our family will never have to worry about running out of water!"

The two little guys, Qiao Xing and Qiao Yue, were also full of stars: "Sister, do you have magical powers? Can you conjure up whatever you want?"

Qiao Ran laughed: "Yes, my sister is a little fairy with supreme magical powers. With her here, our family will not have to worry about food and drink in the future."

"Really? That's great! Sister, I want to have a bowl of fragrant white rice, is that okay?"

Qiao Yue, the youngest, looked up at her eldest sister with hope.

Qiao Ran sighed, feeling sad.

These poor little kids, even a bowl of white rice is a luxury.

Thinking that there was still half a pot of white rice left in the kitchen of her own space, Qiao Ran looked around and waved to the children to come over.

She whispered to the four little guys: "Do you all want to eat white rice?"

Several little guys nodded in unison: "Yes! We all want to eat white rice, big, white, fragrant white rice!"

Qiao Bei said, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Ran helped him wipe away his saliva in a funny way: "Then you quietly get on the carriage and wait for me, and I will turn it into white rice for you."

The four little guys nodded in surprise when they heard this, and quickly dispersed. Then, when no one was paying attention, they helped each other and got on the carriage.

Qiao Ran also pretended to look for something on the carriage and got into the carriage.

Putting down the curtain, Qiao Ran said to the little ones: "Sister is about to use her magical powers, but you have to close your eyes and don't peek, otherwise my sister's magical powers will be ineffective."

When the little guys heard this, they quickly closed their eyes tightly. To prevent themselves from opening their eyes, they even covered their eyes with a pair of small hands.

Qiao Ran saw that they had closed their eyes, and she also closed her eyes and concentrated into the space.

Qiao Ran found that the space seemed to have a freshness preservation function. The rice cooked yesterday was still hot, not cold and not rancid.

She quickly took out four bowls and filled the rice in the pot.

She didn't dare to let the children eat too much, so she filled each bowl with a small half bowl, and also put some homemade tomato sauce and beef sauce.

After putting all the rice out, she quickly washed the rice and put it into the pot. She turned on the rice cooker cooking mode and cooked a full pot of rice so that it could be eaten directly next time.

Then she found 4 small spoons and left the space with 4 bowls of rice.

"Okay, open your eyes!"

As soon as the little ones opened their eyes, they saw four bowls of fragrant white rice in front of them, with unknown vegetables on top that they had never eaten before.

Taking a sniff, a strange fragrance made them salivate.
