Having enough to eat and drink, Li Changting held Xu Qing's waist and rubbed it contentedly.
Xu Qing touched his head: "the hair is almost dry. It's hot outside. You can sleep in the space. If you have enough sleep, you can talk about it."
"Give me a kiss."
Li Changting goes to kiss him. Xu Qing dodges him and slaps him.
"Just after dinner, kiss me, go and brush my toothbrush! Go to bed. I'll see if hui'er wakes up. " Said, Xu Qing out of the space.
In the room, Li Tinghui is still sleeping. Now it's still early and Xu Qing is not sleepy. He just goes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She cooked a large pot of porridge with mushrooms, vegetables and bacon, and fried twenty thick potato cakes.
"Qi Feng, come and have breakfast." Xu Qing called at the door.
"Sister Xie." Qi Feng wakes up after smelling the smell and takes away the good portion of Xu Qing.
"It's not enough to do it yourself."
"Enough, enough." Qi Feng even busy way, almost equal to his two meals.
After a while, Li Jinmei came with Xiaomei. As soon as she came in, she smelled a delicious smell of porridge.
"Just in time. Let's eat together." Xu Qing said with a smile.
"You're in a good mood today." Li Jinmei asked with a smile, "is Changting back?"
Xu Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and said, "no, but he said he would come back today."
"Yes, that's good." Li Jinmei nodded happily.
Xiaomeizi goes to call Huier to get up. The four have breakfast. Xu Qing puts the remaining porridge and potato cake into the bamboo tube and asks Li Jinmei to take them back to Cao Laoliu.
Xiaomeizi stays here with hui'er, but after Li Jinmei leaves, Xu qingshaoshui takes a bath for xiaomeizi.
She had just seen xiaomeizi scratching her arms and legs frequently. She should be itching. When she asked, she didn't take a bath for seven days.
Xu Qing sighed helplessly. There are so many children in the village who can't take a bath like xiaomeizi. Xu Qing can't take care of everyone, but at least xiaomeizi can make her comfortable.
Xu Qing asked xiaomeizi to wear Huier's clothes first and wash the dirty clothes in the back of the house. The clothes dried quickly in the sun. Before noon, xiaomeizi changed back to her own clothes.
"Don't tell your parents that you took a bath with your aunt, you know? Otherwise, there will be no more pastries to eat. " Xu Qing told her.
There is no small pastry, this threat is too big for xiaomeizi, she solemnly nodded her head, but also raised her hand to promise not to say.
If let Li Jinmei know, can't help but say Xu Qing meal, such a difficult time, waste a drop of water is to be scolded.
Xu Qing thought that there was another one at home who didn't take a bath, Qi Feng.
Although she said that the water in the water tank can be used by Qi Feng, except for drinking water, Qi Feng usually doesn't move the water in the water tank. If she doesn't take a bath for such a long time, she will be dirty.
Xu Qing once again to burn a pot of water, and then go to ask Qi Feng to take a bath, do not wash no rice to eat.
Qi Feng always thought that Xu Qing's usual water was stored in the cellar before. He didn't go to see the cellar in the kitchen, so he didn't know how much water there was. However, seeing Xu Qing so bold, he guessed that he should have stored a lot of water, so he was not polite, mainly not taking a bath No food.
Li Changting didn't wake up until the evening. He opened the curtain, took a deep breath of the fresh fragrance of plants in the space, and made a set of fists under the eaves to loosen his muscles.
Xu Qing quietly took him out of the space, and Li Changting also pretended to be just back, which surprised everyone.
Hui'er hasn't seen his father for a long time. Although he is silent, his eyes are obviously bright when he sees Li Changting.
"You're thin, but just come back safely." Li Jinmei doesn't ask where Li Changting has gone. She thinks that Li Changting always has his reason in doing things. She doesn't ask about some things that she shouldn't know.
All the people in the room were very happy, but what Li Changting said next made people not happy any more.
In the past half a month, Li Changting has been out searching for information, collecting information and arranging the old headquarters under him. He has been running all night.
Li Changting said: "this year's drought is not only in our side, but also in the whole country of DAHAO, as well as in the neighboring countries of all sizes. The river water is cut off, the weather is getting hot, and the crops are not harvested. The drought in the northwest is especially serious, and even the deep well water can not be produced. Now there is the hottest July and August, and I don't know when this drought will pass. "
Li Jinmei's heart sank and asked, "is there no place where there is no drought?"
Li Changting shook his head: "although there is a lot of melting water of ice and snow in the snow mountains on the plateau, the environment there is poor, there is almost no food, and it is not suitable for people to live in."
Li Jinmei's eyes darkened. Suddenly she remembered something and said, "isn't there a sea? I heard that there are many seas in the East and south
"You can't drink sea water." Xu Qing said, "the sea water is salty. The more you drink, the more thirsty you are. If it doesn't rain in the coastal areas, they will be more short of water than we are here."Li Changting nodded in agreement.
Only Qi Feng looked at Xu Qing strangely, wondering how she knew so clearly?
"Well What about that? " Li Jinmei asked with a sad face, "how can we live without water?"
"Deep well is the only way. There is no water on the ground, but there is still water under the ground." Li Changting said, "it's impossible for all the rivers on the ground to evaporate in a short time. A large part of them flow to underground rivers. Underground rivers are complex, but it's hard to find them. Otherwise, if you can get through one, you won't have to worry about running out of water."
Xu Qing was lost in thought.
How to say, she has studied geography for several years. If the surface water flow changes obviously, it is likely to form underground rivers. More accurately, it may be caused by crustal movement or abnormal climate.
Water on the surface penetrates, loses and transfers, but it will not disappear. As Li Changting said, there must be water under the ground.
Li Jinmei thought about it and asked, "what if it doesn't work?"
Li Changting and Xu Qing looked at each other and sighed, "if you can't find water, you have to leave."
This is their hometown. There are clear water and green grass in zengshan. Who is willing to leave if you have to? To leave is to escape.
After Li Jinmei came home with xiaomeizi, Xu Qing asked Li Changting, "do you know what happened to Xu Yue and Zhiyin?"
Hearing Xu Yue, Qi Feng also raised his head abruptly.
"They're fine." Li Changting said, "Yu Boming dismisses most of the people in the house, takes his cronies and Xiao Zhiyin to hide in a deep mountain, where there is an underground river. Originally, the Yu family wanted to dig and build a tomb there. Later, they accidentally dug through the underground river, and had to change the location of the tomb. Unexpectedly, it's a blessing in disguise now, which gives Yu Boming this excellent hiding place. This is the news Few people know about it. It's deep in the mountains. If I hadn't been introduced by Yu Boming's people, I would not have been able to find the exact location. "
