The city of Azov has been without water for five days. The water storage in the city has been exhausted, and even the fruit peels with some water stuck to them have been eaten up by people.
"I want to take a shower!" Anna shouted from the room.
"Take a bath? I..."
"I know what you want to say! After all, drinking water is more important than taking a bath, right?" Anna interrupted Dast, "But for girls, taking a bath is equally important! My body stinks. , if others smell the smell of sweat on my body, I might as well die! I want to drink water! I also need to take a shower!"
"...I just want to say that if you want to take a bath, there will be water. Although the sea route was blocked by the enemy, I hung the bucket on a long rope yesterday. When the enemy was not paying attention at night, I hung the bucket from the top of the city. I secretly hoisted a few buckets of sea water up." Dast replied, "I originally wanted to drink it, but after taking a sip, I found that it was salty and couldn't be drunk, so I put it aside for now. It's just right for you if you want to take a bath."
"Really?" Anna felt that Dust's face suddenly became more handsome. "It doesn't matter if it's salty! I'll have a few sips first, and then take a good bath!"
Dast hurriedly stopped Anna: "Drinking salty water will make you thirstier. This is a survival skill I learned when I was in distress in the Caspian Sea!"
"Huh? So there is such a saying?"
"Now this water can only be used for bathing. You go ahead and wash it. I'll go out to pick up some firewood. Remember not to throw away the water after bathing! I can still use it!"
Dust said and went out to collect firewood.
Anna is full of doubts about Dust's behavior. She locked the doors and windows, pushed several large cabinets to block the doors and windows, and then dared to take off her clothes and soak in the water that Dast had hung up.
The water is normal, just seawater as Dust said. Anna took a bath. With the water on my skin, I feel like my thirst has been relieved a little.
"You did a good job this time!" After Dast returned from collecting firewood, Anna praised him vigorously. "What reward do you want? I will definitely reward you after returning to the Qiqiu Empire!"
Dast did not hear these words, and looked behind Anna worriedly: "Princess, did you keep the water?"
"I kept it. Although I don't know what else the bath water can be used for, but since you told me so, you kept it... What is the use of it?"
Dast's heart suddenly relaxed; "Great, princess, please go out first, I want to take a shower too!"
Ana was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she asked tentatively: "You... want to... take a bath with my bath water?"
"Of course. It's already been used once, how wasteful would it be to throw it away?"
"This... okay, that's okay. After all, it's a time of water shortage. If you are successful in finding water, just treat it as my reward to you..."
Daxter began to take off his upper body clothes.
"After I finished taking a shower, we put the water into smaller buckets in batches, put a small water cup in the center of the small bucket, and then turned my helmet over to cover the small bucket. We lit firewood When the water is boiled, water droplets will condense on the helmet when the water is boiled, and then gather to the top of the helmet along the shape of the helmet, and finally drip into the water cup. In this way, the water in the water cup can be drank... This It’s a survival technique I learned when I was in trouble at the Pillars of Hercules!”
Dast rambled on about his plan to use the bucket of water, not noticing that Anna's face was gradually darkening.
"So...this bucket of water was originally drinkable?"
"Of course, after using my method to process it, you can drink it as plain water."
"Then why did you ask me to take a shower first...?"
"Anyway, all I drink in the end is distilled water, so it doesn't matter."
"I mind!" Anna shouted, "I don't want to drink my own bath water!"
"...How many more times should I distill?"
"It won't work even after several distillations! This is my last dignity as a princess!"
Dast shrugged: "Okay, then I'll drink it myself."
"Wait, this... no... I..." Anna's voice suddenly became softer, "How about you distill it ten times and I try again?"
A horn sounded from the city gate, which was a signal that the enemy was coming. Dast suddenly jumped up, put on his armor and ran towards the city wall.
Ella's troops stopped three arrows away from the city wall. After a while, Dust saw ten pirates pushing a cart over. There are ten buckets on each cart. The defenders of Azov City were curious about what they wanted to do, and watched helplessly as they arrived at the city gate.
The pirate at the front had a thick beard that covered half of his face. He put down the cart and snapped his fingers coolly. The nine pirates behind him shook their heads coolly, then took off their shirts one after another, showing off their strong muscles in front of the defenders.
"Dust...what are they doing?" Anna asked doubtfully.
Dust shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand the situation either.
"Stop!" the bearded pirate shouted, and the nine pirates behind him stopped flexing their muscles and lined up in a neat row.
The bearded pirate removed the barrels from the cart one by one and placed them in front of them. Then he raised his hands just above his head and shouted: "Ready!"
The nine pirates threw themselves on the ground together.
The bearded pirate closed his eyes and tilted his head, as if he was intoxicated by the prelude of the music. After a while, he shook his head violently like a conductor of an orchestra, and swung his hands down: "Get up!"
What followed the sound was not the sound of music, but the feet of the pirates - they began to stand upside down on their heads and feet.
"Keep going!"
The bearded pirate waved his hands upward again. So the pirates who were standing upside down all raised one hand and began to stand on one hand.
"fall!"
The pirates who were standing upside down used their free hands to open the wooden spoons in front of them, grabbed the spoons from inside and took a spoonful of water.
"rise!"
The pirates put the spoons to their mouths and began to drink.
"Up! Down! Up! Down! Up! Down!"
The bearded pirate shook his head like a rattle, beating the beat under the city wall like a conductor of music. The defenders of Azov City stared blankly at the upside-down pirates drinking water to this rhythm.
Soon, the water inside was finished. The bearded pirate bowed politely to all the defenders of Azov City: "Where is the applause? We are ordered by the King of Sweden to perform a handstand and drink water in front of Azov City!"
…
After reacting, the defenders of Azov City were so angry that their fists became hardened, and they cursed and picked up their crossbows. Anna didn't care whether she was exposed or not. She snatched Dust's bow and shot an arrow at the bearded pirate. But her hands were shaking, and the arrow missed. The bearded pirate only heard a "swipe" sound, and a crater exploded on the ground in front of him.
At this time, other defenders also completed a series of actions of loading their crossbows and aimed their crossbows at the pirates underground. Seeing that the situation was not good, the bearded pirate and the other nine pirates quickly dropped the barrel and ran away holding their heads.
