Gulan: "..."
She looked at Dahei suspiciously. What did Dahei find? The black dog she raised before was the same. When it found a target or something good, it would call her like this. If she ignored it, it would just bite her clothes and drag her away.
After asking AnAn to carry the things, Gulan prepared to follow and see. It was nothing more than walking a little more and there was no big loss.
After following, she realized that she had thought too well. It was not just a little distance, but a long distance. It walked from the time when the sky was still a little bright until it was completely dark. Of course, the sky was almost dark.
Looking at Dahei who merged into the night, Gulan would not be able to see it if it were not for its two bright eyes.
Dahei stopped, called to Gulan again, and motioned her to move forward with its head. It seems that this thing really found something? Based on her trust in Dahei, Gulan walked forward without hesitation.
On the other side, the people who had been following Gulan and Dahei from a distance found that they had lost them. Dahei was too alert, so they didn't dare to get close to him and kept a distance.
Who knew that in the little time they wanted to dig some wild vegetables, the father and son and the dog disappeared. They found them too late and it was already dark. They looked everywhere but couldn't find any traces. Finally, they returned to the village cursing.
Gulan still didn't know anything about this. At this moment, she was staring at a small puddle of water in front of her. So it was Dahei who found the water, and then this guy brought her here. She knew that Dahei was sensible, but she didn't expect him to be so sensible and smart. Gulan felt that she had made a profit. She must not forget to reward him with two more intestines later.
It's called a puddle, but it's not too small. It's a few meters long and wide. I just don't know how deep it is, but I don't think it's very deep.
When walking here, Gulan noticed that the terrain here is low at the bottom of the river, and there are relatively tall trees around, which has a good sunshade effect. This is why there is still water here even though the whole river is dry. However, this amount of water is not enough for the villagers.
After Dahei led the way, he could no longer resist leaning over the bubble to drink water. It was not easy for him to endure until now, and Gulan was too late to stop him. Forget it, he is a hero, so he drank it. To be honest, if Dahei hadn't found this place, she would never have found a piece of water here. Anyway, she and her son were not going to drink the water here. They could wash vegetables and clothes, and they could collect more for Dahei.
The moonlight and stars in the night are still bright, and the visibility is still good even though dusk has fallen.
Gulan can still vaguely see that the water quality in this small piece is still clear, and she found that there are ripples in the water from time to time, and there may be fish in it.
I remember that I bought a lot of plastic buckets in the space for cheapness. I don't care whether there are fish or not. I will collect some water in the space first.
I looked at my son. Fortunately, she was already familiar with the use of the space and had good control. Even if the bucket was not taken out, it could be directly put into the space as long as it touched the water. It could be controlled by consciousness.
"Son, you and Dahei wait for mother on the side. I'm going to get some water okey?" Gulan patted the water bag on her body.
AnAn nodded. He always listened to his mother's words and had no opinions. He and Dahei took a few steps back obediently, and Dahei also listened to the master's words and stayed beside the little master seriously.
So Gulan walked to the puddle with confidence and reached into the water. After taking it out, it had been a few minutes. The space was already filled with five large buckets of water, enough for a while.
Seeing that the water in the puddle had not decreased much, Gulan felt relieved. But she didn't know how deep it was. She hoped that the drinking water for this group of refugees could be solved temporarily.
Gulan did not intend to hide the fact that Dahei had found water. After all, it was a matter of life and death. It would have been fine if she hadn't found it, but now that she knew it, she couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb.
AnAn stood aside obediently, holding the basket with one hand and Dahei's neck with the other, quietly waiting for her mother.
Then Gulan took out the fishing net bag she bought after retirement when AnAn was not paying attention, but the handle of the net bag was a little short. It was not a big problem, and it didn't bother Gulan. She picked up a lot of wooden sticks in the space, and found a slightly longer one to tie to the net bag. Next, she was going to try her luck and test the depth of the water. After the net bag went down, there was no feeling of reaching the bottom. This puddle was deeper than she thought. Unfortunately, the first net was empty, so Gulan simply plunged the whole thing in to test the depth. I was really a little surprised. The depth must be more than one meter.
Gulan didn't rush to catch the second net, but waited for a while. When the water surface calmed down, she observed for a while until the water ripples began to ripple again. Then she accurately cast the second net according to the direction of the ripples.
When she lifted it up, she felt the weight was different, but she didn't know whether it was a fish or something else. To be honest, Gulan was really looking forward to it.
Then she smiled. She was lucky enough to catch two fish that were slightly larger than her palm. Gulan's confidence increased greatly, and the corners of her mouth curled up. As long as there were fish, it would be fine.
Then she repeated this several times and harvested more than ten fish. Gulan stopped.
Ten of them were collected by her in the space to be eaten slowly later, and the extra ones were left in the open, but they had to be cleaned up here before leaving.
Anaan, who was standing aside, just watched his mother moving around, very busy, but he really didn't know what she was looking at. It was not until his mother left the puddle and squatted aside that AnAn finally couldn't help but step forward. He was able to stay quietly by the side and persist until now. He was already a child with strong self-control.
"Mom," AnAn called out and then squatted down like his mother. Then the little guy opened his mouth and eyes wide, looking at the things his mother was packing in her hands in disbelief. It turned out to be fish.
After the shock, he was excited. The little guy couldn't hold back his voice, "Mom caught a fish, Mom is so awesome..."
Then there was a series of compliments. Although his vocabulary was limited and some words were repeated, Gulan was happy to see this lively energy and kept echoing his son. But the little guy was too excited and kept talking. Gulan had no choice but to find a way to block his son's mouth and find something for him to do.
"AnAn, help mom take out the broken pottery jar in the basket."
Sure enough, the excited little guy immediately stopped talking and happily replied "Okay mom." Gulan's ears were temporarily quiet.
AnAn, who was not much taller than the basket, took a lot of effort to take the broken pot out of the basket.
Meanwhile, after finishing his dinner, Old Man Li still didn't see Gulan and his son come back. Thinking of their frail bodies, and the few steamed buns he gave them so that his grandson could have a few comfortable meals, Old Man Li couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted and worried.
"Dad, it should be fine. Maybe Brother Gu has found another place to live with his son. Don't worry about it."
"Yes, Dad. I think Brother Gu is a man of great potential. He won't put himself in danger. Don't worry." Li Er followed his elder brother's words and comforted his father.
