Chapter 572 Pumping Well
At the old woman's house, Mu Ying walked around and found what she wanted in the backyard, a well.
This is a pumping well with a cover on it to prevent foreign objects, snakes, and rainwater from falling in, thus affecting the water quality.
On the top of the cover, there is a somewhat high manual pumping device. By repeatedly pressing the iron handle, the air under the rubber is sucked away, thereby reducing the pressure and allowing the water from the well below to "push" up.
After Mu Ying walked to the iron handle, she took out two wooden barrels from her soul guide bracelet, put one under the outlet of the pumping well, and put the other beside it.
After putting it away, Muying took out another pot of water, holding the pot in her left hand, and holding the push-type iron handle of the pumping well with her right hand, while pouring water, she pressed it quickly and slightly harder.
"Clang clang clang..."
As Mu Ying moves, the water flows into the pumping well from the gap of the rubber ring, and the piston of the rubber ring rises when Mu Ying presses the iron handle, and then seals.
When Mu Ying pulls up the handle, the piston and the rubber ring descend together and open.
Air now emerges from the open piston ring.
After a while, the air was drained, and a large amount of well water was pumped out from the pumping well. For a while, it was big, and for a while, the water flowed down from the outlet of the pumping well and flowed into the bucket.
The old woman stretched out her hand.
"and many more."
After finishing speaking, the old woman took the wooden bucket, put one hand into the bucket, and used a little water in the bucket to clean the bottom and sides of the bucket.
After cleaning this wooden barrel, the old woman is going to pour the cleaned water in the wooden barrel into another wooden barrel for a second cleaning.
The old man is still very frugal and frugal, and he is not willing to waste such a little water.
Mu Ying reached out her hand, stopped her, and spoke indifferently.
"No, wait and wash again."
As she said that, without waiting for the old woman to reply, Mu Ying poured out the water in the bucket, then put it back under the outlet of the pumping well, and pressed the iron handle with one hand to pump out the well water.
The old woman had a bit of regret and reluctance on her face, but Mu Ying had already poured it out and started pumping, so she couldn't say anything, so she had to stand aside and wait.
Time passed little by little, and after a while, Mu Ying filled two full buckets of water, picked up a pole, and stood between the two wooden buckets.
The old woman hurried forward and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself, you don't need to do it."
Mu Ying's appearance is still not very tall. Compared with Xiao Wu who is close to 1.8 meters, Mu Ying is only more than 1.6 meters tall, which can be said to be small and exquisite.
Such a thin little girl, wouldn't she be overwhelmed and fall to the ground?
The old woman looked worried.
In the middle of the two wooden barrels, Mu Ying glanced at the old woman, ignored the old woman's words, let alone let go of the shoulder pole, but directly bent down, hooked the handles of the two wooden barrels with the two iron hooks of the shoulder pole, and then slightly Push hard and stand up.
Mu Ying stood steadily. Although her shoulders were not very broad and her figure was a little thin, her figure was motionless, without any effort, and there was not a trace of pain or strained expression on her face, nor a drop of sweat.
After all, Mu Ying is a soul master, and she is also a soul master of the Beast Spirit series. It would be strange if such two buckets of water can't afford it.
On the side, the old woman looked at Mu Ying in surprise, her mouth closed in surprise for a moment.
Such a thin body can also stir up two big buckets of water, who is this little girl?
The old woman didn't think about the soul master at all.In fact, there are less than 20 soul masters among the hundreds of millions of residents in the entire Douluo Continent, and soul masters account for less than one percent of the total population.
In the eyes of ordinary people, soul masters are simply legendary existences, a special group of people who should be admired and looked up to.
The old woman had never had contact with a soul master in her life, and she had only watched from a distance before, not daring to go forward.
At the edge of the pumping well, Mu Ying ignored the old woman. She picked up two buckets of water, walked past the old woman, and walked steadily, step by step, to the old woman's house. After a few steps, she crossed the somewhat high threshold and entered the room Door.
Carrying the water in, Mu Ying went straight into the kitchen and poured two buckets of water into the tank.
Fortunately, Mu Ying found a cover to cover the water tank to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.
After doing all this, Mu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, walked out of the kitchen, and walked towards the old woman's house.
Just when Mu Ying was about to walk out of the old woman's house, behind Mu Ying, the old woman hesitated and looked at Mu Ying with complicated eyes.
"Thank you... thank you."
Mu Ying paused for a moment, didn't reply, and walked out...
The next morning, Mu Ying came to the old woman's house again.
At the old woman's house, compared to Muying's visit yesterday, she obviously cleaned up. There were some dilapidated sundries on the floor, but now they have all been cleaned up. The dilapidated square dining table, all the grease and surface stains on it were wiped off.
This time the old woman was the same as yesterday morning, sitting on the dilapidated long sofa, but the difference was that a place on the old woman's hand was broken and a little blood flowed.
Mu Ying frowned slightly, entered without saying a word, squatted beside the old woman, took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from her soul guide bracelet, opened the bottle, and prepared to rub it on the old woman.
The old woman quickly retracted her hand, and quickly waved her other hand.
"No, no, it doesn't matter. Tianqing went to cut firewood in the morning and scratched a little bit. It's all right."
As the old woman spoke, her eyes kept looking at the small bottle of gold sore medicine in Mu Ying's hand.
It was a clean jade bottle, although it was not made of any particularly precious material, but in the eyes of the old woman, it was also very valuable.
How expensive should the contents be in such a precious jade bottle?
The old woman couldn't help thinking this way.Thinking of the little girl in front of her eyes using such expensive medicine to treat such a small injury, the old woman felt a little sorry, feeling that she owed a great favor.
The old woman didn't know how to treat Mu Ying. She still had deep doubts and guard against Mu Ying, although the guard was useless.
In addition, the old woman is still very distressed.
The medicine in the jade bottle must be very good, so it would be too wasteful to use it to wipe a small wound.
In front of the old woman, Mu Ying gave the old woman a cold look, without saying a word, she forcibly took the old woman's hand, but carefully poured the golden sore medicine on it, wiped it, and applied it well.
The old woman's face was a little moved.
What a good girl, it would be great if she were my daughter or daughter-in-law...
The old woman couldn't help feeling emotional in her heart, but immediately, she shook her head quickly and vigorously.
Well, no, this girl is a soldier, and soldiers don't have a good thing!
The son was killed by the soldiers, and the food was also taken away by them!
Thinking of the lost biological son, the old man's face was filled with incomparable anger, and a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.She looked at Mu Ying, and was about to forcibly withdraw her hand, refusing to accept the girl's kindness.
However, Mu Ying has already taken the initiative to let go.
The wound was not big, and Mu Ying could wipe it off in one go, and the old woman had no time to refuse.
The old woman looked at the golden sore medicine that she had wiped on her hands, her eyes and face became complicated again, and the eyes she looked at Mu Ying were also filled with many different emotions.
Mu Ying didn't observe much, she turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for the old woman.
Entering the kitchen, in front of the stove, there is already a large bundle of dry branches and dried bamboo shells.
These were all the old woman cut and picked up in the morning. The Star Luo Empire is located in the south of the Douluo Continent. There are many trees and many withered and fallen branches.
Bamboo husk is the shedding coat of bamboo when it grows. It is called bamboo husk for short because it looks like a cicada shedding its shell after drying.
Mu Ying only looked at it, and then began to act the same as yesterday...
Soon, the noodles were ready, and after lunch, Mu Ying walked out of the old woman's house.Just after she walked out and turned around, she heard the old woman sigh from the old woman's house.
"Hey, it would be nice to have rice to eat."
Rice is the main food for the residents of the Star Luo Empire. Unlike the Wuhun Empire in the north, the residents of the Star Luo Empire eat rice almost all year round.
Of course, rice is also eaten in the north, but it has to be transported from the south, and the price is not cheap. Only rich women like Qian Fei'er can buy and eat rice every day.
Like the Wuhun Empire army, they are all edible flour.
Outside the old woman's house, Mu Ying paused.
rice?
With some thoughts in her mind, Mu Ying pulled up the hood of her clothes to cover her beautiful long purple hair, quickened her pace, and walked in the direction of Qiannawei's Chinese army camp.
After a while, Mu Ying returned to Qian Nawei's residence, and as soon as she entered the room, she asked Qian Nawei.
"Nawei, do we have rice in our logistics department?"
"Rice?"
Qian Nawei blinked suspiciously. "No, Xiaoying, what do you want rice for?"
Is it going to be distributed to the villagers in the village?
Qian Nawei thought of this instantly.Qian Nawei is very careful. Others may not know it, but she found that Mu Ying was indifferent on the outside but gentle on the inside.
This is a gentle girl who will not easily hurt others and is full of sympathy for those who suffer and need help. Apart from her always indifferent appearance and not good at expressing, she has almost no shortcomings.
In front of Qian Nawei, when Mu Ying heard her answer, she simply replied "Oh" and was about to turn around.
The moment she turned around, Qian Nawei beckoned.
"Hey, Xiaoying, wait a minute. There seems to be rice in Meng De's place. He intercepted a lot at the Haagen-Dazs Pass before. You can go and have a look."
Mu Ying didn't look back, she nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you."
After finishing speaking, Mu Ying walked out of the camp of the commander in chief of the Wuhun Empire, which was the wooden house where Qian Nawei lived.
Walking outside the wooden house, Mu Ying found a car, entered and drove the car, and drove out of the village.
The Wuhun Empire has a very large army, this time Qian Nawei led a full army of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the area of the station is also very large, scattered in many areas.
It was often a very long way from some army to another army of another legion.
