Chapter 29 Let Her Drink First

ng he would likely only see once in his lifetime, and it was bound to be shocking for him."Well, everyone has their own fate, and under natural disasters, you have to rely on your skills and luck to s...Fang Jinshu felt a little embarrassed. She always felt like she had caused Zong Yu countless troubles along the way.

Promised not to hold anyone back, but ended up doing so anyway.

Zong Yu, with his quick wit, had grasped Fang Jinxiu's meaning. He quickly followed up, "Wild boar is also sold to restaurants."

"After dinner, you should also help me buy things we need for the house. We can go our separate ways to buy things, it'll be faster."

Only then did Fang Jinxiu feel a little better hearing him say that. She could tell Zong Yu rarely spoke, and wasn't the kind of person who would explain his intentions.

That's a bit harsh.

It is precisely because of this that she found the other party unexpectedly endearing and precious.

He is tall and strong, looking like a rough man at first glance. In fact, he is quite delicate. All along the way, Zongyu's care for her has been so profound.

"Alright, let's sell the wild boar first and then talk."

This store's reputation must be quite good. As soon as the two of them walked in, the shop assistant came up to greet them familiarly.

When he saw the wild boar he was carrying, you wouldn't believe how surprised I was.

"Master Zong, you're truly amazing! You were able to hunt such a large prey even during this time!"

Zongyu nodded and followed him into the kitchen.

The restaurant's owner, who was also the chef, heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.

My eyes lit up when I saw the wild boar.

"What a great find! The Wang family head from town is practically crying over this wild game."

Since the drought, the butchers' businesses have been failing one after another, and the townspeople haven't seen pork for a long time.

Upon hearing what the restaurant owner said, Fang Jinshu immediately understood.

No wonder so many people kept staring at them as they walked.

"Shopkeeper, could I please have some water to drink first"

The shopkeeper was taken aback. Although water was scarce now, fortunately their eatery had its own water source, so they were not yet at the point of being unable to even have a sip.

Running your business day-to-day, conserving water can make a difference and sustain you for quite some time.

These days, everyone is just getting by, day by day. They eagerly hope that God will send rain soon to end this drought.

"Good."

Compared to the wild boar brought by Zong Yu, two bowls of water were nothing. The restaurant owner readily brought over two large bowls of clear water.

The moment Fang Jinxiu saw the water, she almost lost her mind and wanted to rush into it.

I'm so thirsty, I'm really thirsty!

She stared intently at the water bowl, her throat bobbing with swallows, a clear sign of thirst.

Zongyu was still relatively calm. He had long since gotten used to these water-scarce days. He was also thirsty and his physical strength was depleted, so his need for water was undoubtedly much greater than Fang Jinxiu's.

But he could bear it.

After receiving two bowls of water from the restaurant owner, he turned around and handed them to Fang Jinshu.

"You drink."

At this point, Fang Jinshi really couldn't be bothered with politeness anymore. She felt like she was about to dehydrate from thirst and eagerly drank large gulps of water from the bowl.

Glug glug, swallowing down.

The icy water slid down the parched throat, lubricating the esophagus as it flowed straight down.

After finishing it, she felt like her whole body had come back to life.

Reason also cleared, taking a closer look, Zongyu's hands were both empty!

Fang Jinxiu's face flushed crimson, "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I, I was just too thirsty, and I didn't notice that I drank your bowl as well."

Zongyu shook his head, telling her not to mind.

"It's okay, I'm not thirsty."

Water is now a scarce resource, and he was embarrassed to ask the shopkeeper for another bowl. Nowadays, this bowl of water is more precious than a bowl of grain.

"Nonsense, you carried me and the wild boar for so long on this mountain path, your clothes are so soaked they could be wrung out! How could you not be thirsty."

She turned her head to look at the restaurant owner and didn't intend to take advantage of them.

"Shopkeeper, can we pay you for a bowl of water"

The shopkeeper, seeing the wild boar's plight, of course couldn't refuse. He turned and fetched another bowl of water.

This time, Fang Jinxiu stepped forward to take it. She secretly dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water with her fingertips and then handed it to Zong Yu.

Zong Yu took the water and drank it in large gulps. How could he feel that the taste of this water was sweeter than anything he had ever drunk before

After he finished drinking, he returned the bowl and felt his energy recovering faster than usual all over his body.

Is it an illusionen this forceful in coming to cause them trouble before.It must be Hu Ai-lan's doing!"Since you know you have no face, why don't you leave quickly Do you think by bringing out my grandfather, we will...
