but.
Before they were happy for a while, they met Shen Jun's slightly frowned brows, and their hearts suddenly became heavy.
Is there something else they have overlooked?
"Miss Shen Jun, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Xiang Rui strode forward, came to Shen Jun, and asked in a soft voice.
"fine."
Shen Jun lowered his eyes and said, "I guess I'm just thinking too much."
Shen Jun looked at the gate of the county town, where there was only a thin stream left due to drought.
In the end, she couldn't hold it back and asked tentatively, "Do you smell that smell in the air?"
"Taste? What does it taste like?"
Xiang Rui sniffed hard and didn't smell any strange smell.
Ning Chongchen also made the same move. He said in confusion, "Miss Shen, we really didn't smell any strange smell."
"Then I guess I really smelled it wrong."
Shen Jun said calmly, and at the same time, from the corner of his eye, he noticed that someone in the team was already happily holding an empty water bottle and preparing to go to the creek to fill it with water.
"Don't pretend yet."
Shen Jun's voice didn't seem loud, but it clearly reached the ears of several people nearby who were excited to fill their bottles with water.
Among these people happened to be someone from Liu Mazi's group.
Ever since what happened before, Liu Mazi and others have regarded Shen Jun as their "eldest sister", someone who cannot be offended.
Now that he heard Shen Jun's words, he immediately stood up straight and subconsciously.
"Miss Shen, what did you just say?"
Shen Jun repeated what he said, and then said, "Let these people stop filling the water first. I will check the situation here. It will be completely late if I need to fill the water again."
Shen Jun didn't explain the reason, but Liu Mazi's people were convinced of her.
You must know that if it hadn't been for Shen Jun, they wouldn't have been able to have multiple meals. In this regard, Shen Jun can be regarded as their benefactor.
In addition, even without these, just relying on Shen Jun's ability and thinking about the terrible force of being hit on the body, they feel that their bones hurt now, so it is better to be honest and obedient.
"Okay, Miss Shen, I will let the brothers pass on your message."
Liu Mazi went to persuade the people in this team led by Ning Chongchen.
Although Xiang Rui didn't quite understand, he reacted quickly and immediately asked his brother to stop the others.
Both sides were excited at the same time, and quickly stopped these people who rushed out excitedly.
It's just that these people had to stop filling the water due to pressure, but they were very puzzled in their hearts.
"Brother Xiang, what do you mean? Why don't you let us fill the water? My little boy is almost dying of thirst!"
"Yes, Mr. Ning, it's not easy to come across such a stream. What do you mean?"
"Mr. Ning, you can't just fill the bottle with water and have someone else do it first, right?"
These people were stopped and complained in various ways. At first glance, they looked a bit "complaining".
There are also some people who are keeping a close eye on the movements of those who are blocking them, preparing to sneak up and fill up some water when these people are not paying attention.
No matter what Xiangrui and Ning Zhongchen wanted to do, they had to fill up the water first.
This stream is so small. If you don't rush to pretend, those people will be the first to grab it later, and the rest of them may not be able to pretend.
These people were so proud of their little cleverness, their eyes were fixed on them, and their ears were not listening to what the people over there were saying.
After Shen Jun asked them to stop the person, he got up and walked towards the upper reaches of the stream.
This kind of stream, or river, must have come from many rivers.
Now upstream, due to droughts in various places, some may have stopped flowing long ago, so that by the time they reach here, they have changed from rivers to streams.
It was naturally impossible for Shen Jun to trace the source so far upstream. She just wanted to find out the source of this strangeness.
He didn't know what the reason was, but Shen Jun trusted his intuition, and the smell seemed a bit familiar.
"How long do we have to wait!"
"Mr. Ning, do you have any instructions that can be discussed later? Let's just fill up the water first and we can talk about it while drinking, can't we?"
"Brother Xiang, what exactly are you planning to do?"
…
Before seeing the water, everyone could endure it. Now that it is clear that the water source is ahead, how can these people endure it?
Even those who thought they were not thirsty at first looked at the stream in front of them and swallowed subconsciously, feeling that their throats were so dry that they were about to smoke.
There were some people who were cautious and reluctant to drink water, but now they were finally willing to take out the water bottle and drink it in big gulps.
Anyway, you can still refill the water after you finish drinking.
Ning Zhongchen and Xiang Rui looked at each other, and Ning Zhongchen couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what Miss Shen went to do? How long will it take for her to come back."
Ning Zhongchen believed that Shen Jun would not "make excuses" and make trouble for nothing, but these people obviously couldn't hold it back if they continued like this.
If Shen Jun doesn't come back, these people probably won't wait for his orders and will swarm forward soon.
Ning Chongchen had actually spotted one or two people sneaking around to fill the bottle with water.
When these people actually loaded up the water, the others became even more unable to sit still.
Even if they knew that the water in this stream would not disappear all of a sudden, after the drought in the past few years, everyone's first reaction would definitely be to grab their own share quickly, otherwise they would not feel at ease in their hearts.
Xiang Rui said in a rough voice, "Miss Shen Jun always does things in a measured way. She will definitely be back soon."
He looked at the restless crowd, waved his big knife, and said harshly again, "Everyone, wait a moment, I will let you fill up the water and drink it later, but if anyone goes to fill it secretly now, don't It’s my fist’s fault.”
He shook his fist at Ray and his brothers.
Their muscles, coupled with the threat of swords and fists, made many people dissatisfied, but they still had to put their thoughts aside because of fear.
He only dared to stand in the crowd and murmured in a low voice, "Who knows if you plan to take it for yourself, that's why you don't let us fill the water."
Otherwise, everything is fine, so why stop them?
This was echoed by other dissatisfied people.
"Yeah, otherwise why?"
"Okay, if you want to pretend, go ahead and pretend." A moderate sneer suddenly came from behind the crowd, and before some people could agree with it.
The voice continued, "Just don't cry and ask for medicine when you get sick later."
"What do you mean by this..."
The man subconsciously retorted, and when he turned around, he happened to see the crowd turning back, and Shen Jun slowly walking out of the crowd.
There was still fine sweat on Shen Jun's forehead, which was left behind when she hurried back.
And there was an unknown smile on her lips. She was obviously a young girl, but it made people feel hairy behind her.
