Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 217 Preparing to Go Down the Mountain

Ten days passed like this, and there was no water flowing through the water pipe in the backyard. This time the water level dropped even faster than before!

This was the first time the water pipe had stopped flowing. Last time it was at least dripping! Now there was not even a drop of water.

That afternoon, Xu Han followed the Taoist priest to the waterfall to fetch water, and took all the large containers that could hold water in the house and put them into the space.

Just go get some water and it can last for five or six days if used normally!

After all, there are quite a few large water tanks and bathtubs at home. When they are full, they can be stacked in the space without having to be taken out and placed outside.

Fortunately, the space inside is large enough, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many water tanks.

"Now when we come to the waterfall to get water, we have to wait a long time to fill all the water tanks. I don't know how long the water source here can last." Lu Chuan said dejectedly.

"The water flow will definitely not be cut off for a while, but the water supply will definitely become slower and slower in the future. Even if the flow is cut off, there is no need to worry. Fortunately, we still have water tanks to use. If we save a little, it can last for a while." Xu Han said.

"The girl is right. Even if the water here is cut off, there must be other water sources in the deep mountains. We will look for them when the time comes." The Taoist priest continued.

"There should be water in the valley we discovered before. There is a very deep puddle there, and there is running water. The water resources are very abundant. Let's go and take a look together some other day." Lu Chuan said.

"Okay, we'll go and take a look after you come back." Xu Han said.

That's right, Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest were preparing to go down the mountain. This time, there were only the two of them going down the mountain because Xu Han was still in a relatively short period of pregnancy and the fetus was not yet firmly established, so it was not suitable for her to travel such a long distance.

Besides, the weather is so hot that it would be very tiring to travel, so it would be better for the Taoist priest and Lu Chuan to go together. It would be faster to go back and forth.

With their speed, they can return in about three days.

So this time Xu Han did not go with them, and stayed at home with Grandpa Zhao and the dogs to look after the house.

After filling the water tank, everyone added some water to the reservoir and then started walking home.

When she got home, Xu Han went straight into the kitchen. Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest would leave for the county town early tomorrow morning. Today, she had to prepare some dry food that could last for them, otherwise they would definitely go hungry.

Xu Han thought about it and decided that the kang pancake was more convenient. It was more filling and not easy to go bad. It should be fine to keep it for two days in this weather.

Put the baked pancakes into the space first and take them out tomorrow to give to the two of them.

Then Xu Han started to prepare today's dinner. The weather was hot and no one had much appetite, so Xu Han simply made some cold noodles and paired it with the freshly baked pancakes. It was a very delicious dinner.

After dinner, the four of them sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. The Taoist priest said:

"When we're away for a few days, you two should stay at home and don't open the gate, let alone go out.

It should be getting dry in the mountains soon. The wild animals are not short of water for now, but there is definitely not much food to eat. It would be dangerous for you two to go out rashly.

Of course you can't act alone, the girl is still pregnant! Old Zhao, you have worked hard these past few days, you have to be more alert when we are not around."

"What are you talking about? I treat Xiaohan no worse than you do, so don't worry! I will definitely take good care of her and make sure she doesn't lose even a hair." Grandpa Zhao said.

When Lu Chuan heard what Grandpa Zhao said, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and took Xu Han's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days, Grandpa Zhao."

"Oh! Don't worry! I will definitely not run around. I still have some sense of propriety. Besides, we have Grandpa Zhao, the miracle doctor, here! I will be fine. I will not go anywhere and will wait for you to come back home." Xu Han sensed Lu Chuan's uneasiness and spoke to comfort him.

"Okay, my wife, wait for me to come back."

"Come on, let's check the list again to see if there is anything else we need to buy.

After this trip to the county town, I don’t know when I will be able to go there next time. Even if I go in, I don’t think there will be anything for sale.”

The Taoist priest called out to everyone and checked the purchase list together.

Apart from the tung oil that needed to be purchased and the small amount of medicine that Grandpa Zhao wanted, there was nothing else special that was needed.

"We don't lack anything at home now. When the time comes, you can see if there is anything you need. If you feel you need it or can use it, just buy it! But don't buy too much. The journey is far and it may also make people jealous." Xu Han said.

"Don't worry about that! We know what we are doing." The Taoist priest said with a smile.

"My dear wife, you are always worried all the time. Just relax during this period of time. We are three grown men. Can't you take care of yourself? Just take a good rest and give birth to the baby safely." Lu Chuan said to Xu Han affectionately.

"Oh! I'm just afraid that you guys are too careless," Xu Han said mischievously.

"Okay, okay, let's all go to bed early today! We'll set off when it's light tomorrow while the weather is not too hot." said the Taoist priest.

Then the four of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Chuan woke up, Xu Han got up too.

"Wifey, you should sleep for a while! Don't get up, just give the things to me." Lu Chuan said as he supported Xu Han who was about to get up.

"It's okay, it's still early! I can still take a nap later. I'll pack your things first. I didn't prepare them yesterday!" Xu Han insisted despite Lu Chuan's obstruction. She was really a little worried about Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest.

Xu Han took out breakfast from the space and shared it with Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest.

Then he took out something that he had prepared for them and said, "This is a biscuit. It's a little hard. Drink more water when you eat it. Soak it in hot water if you can't bite it.

There is also dried meat here, you can eat it directly when you are hungry. I also prepared some chrysanthemum tea for you, you can make tea to drink, so that you don’t get irritated by eating too dry food.

By the way, each of you should take two sets of clothes! The weather is quite hot, and you will definitely sweat a lot. It will be uncomfortable if you don’t change clothes.”

Xu Han kept talking, and Lu Chuan and the Taoist priest responded in unison.

"Okay girl, we all know it, come over and have some breakfast!"

Hearing this, Xu Han sat down, picked up the egg on the table and started eating.
