Chapter 192 Praying for Water
"Aim! Shoot..."
The area beneath the big locust tree in Kaoshan Village has become a martial arts training ground.
Because the broadsword is only suitable for close-range attacks, Xia Shengsheng bought a large number of bows and arrows from Qiqi.
This batch of bows and arrows are also sold in the prop store.
Although its quality is average to me, it can still hurt the enemy.
Now Xia Yi and others are training the villagers in batches.
To ensure that if anything happens again, everyone can protect themselves and their families.
Looking at the villagers who were training, Tao Siyuan touched his chin, turned around and asked Xia Shengsheng with some confusion, "Aunt, where did you get these things? With such a large amount of weapons, didn't the court investigate you?"
Xia Shengsheng glanced at Tao Siyuan and said, "Why are you asking so many questions like that? Why do you care where I got it from? If you have time, just go and flatter Doctor Zhao!"
Haven't you noticed that your father has become much better these past two days? Let Doctor Zhao give your father two more injections, and he will get better soon! "
If Tao Wuji heard what Xia Shengsheng said at this moment, he would definitely say "Thank you!"
Tao Siyuan was not the kind of person who would ask questions to the end, and seeing that Xia Shengsheng didn't say anything, he didn't ask any further questions.
However, he still thought it was feasible to ask Doctor Zhao to give his father a few more injections.
"Then I'll go now!"
After saying that, he ran to Doctor Zhao's house.
Xia Shengsheng was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect the child to take it seriously.
If I really go to Doctor Zhao with this story, he will definitely kick me out with a broom!
And the truth was just as Xia Shengsheng had thought.
When Tao Siyuan just ran to Doctor Zhao's house, Ye Chao and Ercheng were helping Doctor Zhao dry the medicinal herbs.
Tao Siyuan easily joined in, helping Doctor Zhao while talking to him with a grin on his face.
"The sun is rising from the west, and Young Master Tao also knows how to work?" Doctor Zhao said with some sarcasm.
Although Tao Siyuan is quite likable, he would cleverly avoid work with various excuses almost every time. This time, he actually took the initiative to help Doctor Zhao, so Doctor Zhao made sarcastic remarks.
"Grandpa Zhao, please don't say that! I was ignorant before and didn't know how to share more of Grandpa Zhao's work. If there is any work in the future, Grandpa Zhao can just tell me. I promise to do it without hesitation, even if it means risking everything!"
Doctor Zhao shuddered at what he heard. Why did he suddenly feel so cold?
"Don't call me that. Just call me Doctor Zhao! Calling me grandpa makes me feel uncomfortable all over.
Besides, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. Don't beat around the bush, it makes me feel a little confused!"
Tao Siyuan stood aside and laughed. Since Doctor Zhao was being straightforward, he must have something to say.
"Mr. Zhao, no, Doctor Zhao! Do you think my father has gotten much better recently? He can remember most things and no longer has seizures. The only thing is that he still thinks of Aunt Xia as my mother.
So, can you give my dad a few more injections? Let him recover quickly?"
After hearing this, Doctor Zhao's mouth twitched. Is this how the disease is treated?
Ye Chao and Er Cheng were also like this. They suddenly wondered if Brother Tao had a brain problem. Was he infected by Uncle Tao?
If people can be cured without a few injections, then if someone gets a serious illness, they can just get a few more injections all over the body and be cured. Why would they need to rest?
Seeing that Doctor Zhao ignored him, Tao Siyuan continued to talk about his thoughts. There was no way around it anyway, so he asked Doctor Zhao to help with a few more injections!
Finally, Doctor Zhao couldn't bear it anymore.
He put down the herbs in his hand and walked into the house.
Tao Siyuan was still following behind, chattering non-stop.
Unexpectedly, when they got into the house, Dr. Zhao took out an extended broom and hit Tao Siyuan's butt.
"Ouch! It hurts, Doctor Zhao, what are you doing?"
He called the doctor without further explanation and just chased Tao Siyuan out of the yard like chasing a chicken.
Then he closed the door and ignored Tao Siyuan no matter how he called out from outside.
Ye Chao and Er Cheng couldn't help but laugh secretly inside.
But Doctor Zhao scolded him, "Why don't you work? Are you waiting for me to rush you with a broom?"
The two men quickly stopped smiling, stood there very obediently, and continued to help Doctor Zhao dry the medicinal herbs.
However, after Doctor Zhao turned around, they still stood together and laughed secretly.
Tao Siyuan outside the door was frustrated and was still confused!
Is he thinking wrong?
But that’s what my aunt said too?
Oh! Why don't you go back and see how Dad is doing?
Xia Shengsheng walked around the village, looked at everyone's defenses, and also looked at the results of Xia Yi and the others' training.
There are no major problems at the moment, the village has become exceptionally strong.
Unless it is a regular army, it would be difficult to attack!
The only problem is that the water level in these wells has dropped significantly, and the water that is now pumped up is mixed with mud.
It is estimated that it can only sustain the entire village for about ten days, and the well will probably dry up.
During this period, everyone went up the mountain in batches to look for water sources. Two small water sources had been occupied by other people. Xia Shengsheng did not let the villagers conflict with others again.
Apart from those two small water sources, no other water sources were found.
It is no longer as dangerous to enter or exit the mountains as before.
Not only did the large beasts disappear, but even small wild animals like pheasants and rabbits were not normally seen in the mountains.
I guess only if we can find the traces of these wild animals can we find the water source.
Xia Shengsheng didn't want to make everyone worry about it. In the current situation, leaving the village would be dangerous, and it was not certain whether they could find it in the end.
So, that night, Xia Shengsheng deliberately told a little lie.
Only Chen's father and daughter live in the backyard of the factory.
Xia Shengsheng asked the two of them to squeeze into her yard for a while.
She lied that she needed to use the yard temporarily to perform a water-praying ceremony.
This ceremony is a tradition in her hometown. Whenever there is drought, this method is used to pray for water, and the effect is very good.
However, during the process of praying for water, no one can disturb them, so they chose to perform this ceremony here where the Chen family father and daughter were doing it.
The Chen family father and daughter believed what Xia Shengsheng said without a doubt.
That night, Xia Shengsheng was given a place to live.
Xia Shengsheng even went to the front yard to instruct Xia San and his group, telling them that she was going to perform a ceremony tonight, and no matter what noise they heard, they must not go to the backyard to disrupt her ceremony.
He also asked Xia Yi and Xia Er to watch outside the factory and not allow anyone to enter the instant noodle factory.
Xia Shengsheng thought that he secretly got water from Qiqi in the middle of the night and then put it into the well.
But there was definitely a sound of water, and she was afraid that the people living in the front yard might hear the noise and suddenly rush over, ruining her business, so she specifically warned them in advance.
She was also afraid that someone on patrol might hear it and come back to her factory, so she asked Xia Yi and Xia Er to help watch over it.
