Chapter 1290 Extra: Du Fu 16 (Additional Update for Kilig)
"Water? Where is it?" Fu Miaoxue immediately cheered up and looked left and right, "Where is the water? I didn't see the water!"
In addition to a row of dense bamboo forests, there are only some unknown shrubs and plants left in front of us. They are overgrown with weeds, wet and dense. Even mosquitoes seem to be suffocated in this hot and humid environment.
Du Lai put her down, walked straight to the bamboo forest in front, took out the flat stone he had just used, pointed the sharp edge at the bamboo, and chopped hard.
"What are you doing? Why are you cutting bamboo?" The eldest lady came up and complained, "Aren't you looking for a water source? If I don't drink water, I will really die of thirst. Look at me, I'm so thirsty that I can't even sweat. It's bleeding, I'm about to have a heat stroke. Do you know, you're still cutting bamboo, can we still leave -"
Bamboo is hard, so Du Lai chopped it several times with stones and only made a thin mark.
Du Lai was very upset as his physical strength was being depleted and supplies were hopeless. In addition, Fu Miaoxue kept nagging, nagging, and he just wanted her to shut up. He couldn't help but shout: "Okay!"
The eldest lady: "..."
Du Lai: "..."
Well, he couldn't control his temper for a moment.
Although the voice was not loud, compared to the previous diligent and flattering attitude, his current attitude was obviously that of rebellion.
Fu Miaoxue's face turned cold instantly, she looked at Du Lai and asked, "You don't want that 100 million anymore, do you?"
"..." Du Lai swallowed his anger, "...I want it."
It doesn't matter whether he has money or not, but Fu Lisheng is really afraid.
Fu Miaoxue said: "If you offend me, even if you live here, my grandfather will find you out in the future and make you die ugly. Do you believe it?"
Du Lai took a deep breath and nodded, "... letter."
The eldest lady snorted coldly and stared at him with cold eyes, as if thinking about how to punish him for his rude words.
Du Lai closed his eyes, adjusted his tone, and explained: "The middle of the bamboo is hollow, and there will be some water inside. It is very clean and can be drank directly after being collected. That's why I cut bamboo."
Fu Miaoxue was stunned for a moment, her eyes moved to the bamboos, and she asked in surprise: "Is it true or not? You won't lie to me, will you?"
"Really," Du Lai said, "but we don't have the tools at hand. It's difficult to break open the bamboo with just this stone."
"You didn't tell me earlier!" Fu Miaoxue gave him a blank look and bent down to untie his shoelaces.
Du Lai looked at her puzzled and saw that she took off her small leather shoes, turned the soles over, touched along the edges with her fingers, and slowly pulled out a folding blade from the soles——
Unfold it and it's a short dagger!
"Here, here you go." Fu Miaoxue handed him the dagger, "Get the bamboo away quickly, I'm going to die of thirst."
Du Lai: "..."
Somehow, he looked at Fu Miaoxue's other shoe.
Fu Miaoxue: "..."
The eldest lady frowned irritably and cursed: "Sure, I'll leave it all to you!"
She took off her other shoe, but what was hidden in the sole of this shoe was not a dagger, but a very thin wire chain.
"This is very powerful!" the eldest lady said coquettishly. "My grandfather said that if I was kidnapped, I could use this to saw through the iron ropes and strangle people!"
Du Lai silently took the chain and thought: Life is not easy for children of wealthy families.
This steel wire chain is made of both hard and flexible materials and can be used as a jigsaw. Du Lai placed the steel wire chain on one side of the bamboo, held both ends tightly with both hands, and then pulled the saw back and forth. The bamboo hissed and a gap was opened.
Fu Miaoxue watched helplessly until the liquid flowed out one after another. She beamed with joy and almost jumped up on the spot!
"Water! There's water to drink!!!"
