inspire-indiana Chapter 147 Water Thief
Chapter 147 Water Thief
Both of them had loud voices.
Some people in the resting team heard this and thought that water had been dug out, but when they saw the water-digging team coming back to report with a gloomy look on their faces.
I just thought I heard it wrong.
He lay back dejectedly.
Unexpectedly, after a while, I heard an extremely surprised voice.
"really?"
The chief stood up suddenly and looked at Lin who was running breathlessly in front of him and the female with a happy blushing face.
Zhou Manman danced with excitement, "There are several bamboo tubes there. I don't know who buried them. The soil looks fresh."
The clan leader knew that she would never lie, and hope instantly rose in his heart.
He quickly called a few people around him and followed Lin to the place where the water was found.
When they arrived at that place, several orcs looked at the well-preserved water, swallowed their saliva for a moment, and looked at the chief with hope.
The chief looked around the water and found that it was indeed new soil, and very new. It was possible that someone had just buried it, or perhaps one of the tribesmen was ahead and buried the water specifically for the team behind them.
If they took it, there was no guarantee that something might happen to the team behind them.
But what does that matter?
The clan leader waved his hand and said, "Move!"
The orcs were ecstatic, and hurriedly moved the water back for fear that someone would come back looking for water.
There is a lot of water, and the bamboo tube is very big.
What a surprise!
Three bamboo tubes of water were enough for all the males to take a big sip.
There were eleven bamboo tubes of water buried there.
At least this water will be enough for the next many days.
The team was delighted.
The guards were much more relaxed.
When the three people hiding in the dark saw the water that was dug out, their minds instantly became active.
He turned around and left quietly.
In order to reward Zhou Manman and Lin for being the first to discover the water, the clan leader specially gave them half of the bamboo tube of water.
The bamboo tube is very big and contains a lot of water.
Lin gulped down a lot of it.
Then Zhou Manman took it and took a sip.
The river water is sweet and cool.
This was put into the space when it was raining and cold. Drinking it now feels like playing and frolicking by the river at the doorstep.
Zhou Manman sighed and covered the bamboo tube of water.
After that, just add some in from time to time.
Although she took out a lot of water, at least she got through it.
It will be much easier to add water secretly afterwards.
After solving a big problem, everyone felt better and didn't feel that the days ahead would be so difficult.
In addition, although the sun is strong during the day, the temperature is suitable at night, so everyone starts to rest in groups of three or four.
The piece of animal skin that Lin had tied to his body before was very large. Later, when the weather got hot, he no longer needed it, but it was very suitable for sleeping on the ground at night.
There is more than enough space for Zhou Manman, Anlina, Yi and her four cubs to lie on it.
Alina put her hands behind her back, looked at the starry sky and suddenly sighed deeply.
"what happened?"
Zhou Manman turned her head to look at her.
Anlina also turned around and said, "I really want to eat the roast suckling pig you made~"
The voice was full of sorrow and sorrow.
Looking at each other, they both burst out laughing.
Zhou Manman turned back to her right seat and said, "I'll do it for you when we get there?"
"Just for her? What about me and my four cubs?"
Zhou Manman didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I will do everything."
The three of them talked for a while, fantasizing about the future.
"Sweet dreams Anlina, Yi, and the cubs."
After Zhou Manman finished speaking, she turned to the side and was about to close her eyes and sleep.
Suddenly there was a noise.
Several people lost their sleepiness and sat up suddenly.
Lin quickly hugged Zhou Manman in his arms, looked at the noisy other side, and wanted to go over, but he was afraid that something might happen and Manman might get hurt accidentally. It would not be a good idea to leave Manman here alone.
Word spread quickly, and soon they also knew what had happened.
It turned out that someone came to "steal" the water!
Zhou Manman's heart tightened, fearing that the orcs who came to steal the water would say that they had buried the water. What would he do if the chief really gave them the water?
She looked up at Lin and said, "Let's go over there, Lin."
Lin obviously shared the same concern and quickly took the little female to the scene.
As soon as we arrived at the place, we heard the orc who was being held down shouting, "We were the ones who released the water. You took our water, why don't you let us take it back?"
Another orc who was being held down spoke up, "Yes, this is our water. We didn't blame you for drinking so much. We just wanted to take back the rest. You actually did this. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the capital city?"
Unexpectedly, the patriarch's originally wavering heart suddenly hardened because of this sentence.
"killed."
The only rule in the tribe is that you cannot kill orcs from your own tribe, and it only says that you cannot cannibalize each other, but it does not say that you cannot kill orcs from other tribes.
The orcs who were suppressing them immediately planned to attack.
The two orcs were so frightened that their eyes were bloodshot and they shouted for help.
“Is that your water?”
Hearing this, the two of them no longer had the guts to lie and quickly shook their heads, "It's not ours, it's not ours, don't kill us!!"
The chief raised his hand, and the orcs who were about to take action stopped with regret.
The chief looked at the newcomer, and then at the two trembling orcs who had transformed into their original forms.
"If it's not your water, why do you say it's your water?"
The two orcs looked at each other, and now that their lives were no longer in danger, they started to have another idea.
He only whispered, "It's our water."
The clan leader frowned and didn't intend to talk nonsense with them anymore. Zhou Manman saw this and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, clan leader."
The patriarch looked at her in confusion.
Zhou Manman walked up to the patriarch and walked a little further away before whispering his thoughts.
The patriarch looked at her young face.
She nodded with a smile. She never thought that there was such an intelligent female in the tribe.
Zhou Manman came back and just asked, "Since you said it's your water, where did you put it?"
The two of them spoke tacitly.
"Inside a cave."
"Yes, walk east for about a kilometer."
The orcs around the chief immediately understood and felt relieved, as long as it wasn't theirs.
Why were they so anxious to silence them? On the one hand, it was because he was angry that they almost succeeded, and on the other hand, he was afraid that they would go back for help.
There is still a long way to go, so we should avoid consumption if possible.
"So how much did you hide?"
The two men thought they were right and were very proud. Whenever the beastmen traveling from north to south discovered the cave, they would always hide something there, thinking it was very hidden. In fact, the cave was specially dug by the two of them.
But when asked about this, I was a little uncertain.
