Chapter 15: Delivering Water

If this was true, the two little ones would suffer. Such skinny children will have to do hard labor.

No matter what, Si Si plans to try it first.

When she got to the bathroom, she quickly connected one end of the water hose to the faucet and gave the other end to the two little ones.

Xiao Mujin held the other end of the water hose in her hand and stood there stupidly, not knowing what her sister was doing.

Si Si didn’t rush to explain but spoke to Qi Mohan into the recorder.

[Qi Mohan, in our era, people use tap water. I won’t explain the details too much. In short, you just need to know that tap water is automatically discharged and supplied indefinitely.]

Speaking of this, Si Si remembered Qi Mohan’s question again. He asked how to eat the yellow flour, that was, corn flour.

Thinking of the many time-travel novels she had read, it was unsurprising that Qi Mohan didn’t know how to eat in ancient times without high-yield food such as corn.

She planned to explain it clearly immediately.

[And the yellow flour you mentioned, called corn flour, is a kind of food with extremely high yield and strong satiety.]

[Corn can be processed into various specifications of food, such as the corn flour I gave you. It’s like the coarse flour and fine flour. Considering that there are many people in your place, I gave you coarse corn flour.]

[Coarse corn flour is suitable for making batter. The method of making it is to put it in a pot under cold water and stir it constantly. After the water boils…]

She wanted to say that it would take two minutes to get out of the pot, but considering that there was no such precise time in ancient times, the shortest time was usually half an incense stick.

[After the water boils, it can be eaten in less than half an incense stick of time, and this kind of food is relatively cheap, which is very suitable for disaster relief.]

After giving the recorder to Xiao Qing, Si Si said to Xiao Mujin carefully: “Mujin, after you take this tube, you should come back immediately. I need to understand the specific situation before knowing what to do next.”

Xiao Mujin had no idea what his sister was going to do. All he could do was to be obedient and do everything his sister asked him to do.

“Sister, I will listen to you.”

Xiao Qing naturally didn’t need to replace the recorder in her hand. She could just give it to Qi Mohan when she got there.

Watching the two little figures disappear, Si Si stood still, staring at the water hose on the ground.

The water hose was like a little snake. As the two little ones disappeared, it slowly moved towards the window, and the remaining part became less and less.

Seeing this, Si Si felt very disappointed.

Judging from this trend, the remaining part would disappear with the two little ones sooner or later. It seemed that the shortcut she had thought of could not be realized.

Just when Si Si was completely disappointed, the remaining small part of the water hose that could only connect to the faucet suddenly stopped moving.

Si Si couldn’t even believe her eyes. She stared at the water hose for a while, and only after she was sure that it was not moving did she completely believe this fact.

While Si Si was overjoyed, the two children were being questioned by Imperial Concubine Yun.

Imperial Concubine Yun and Qi Mohan both believed that the two children could go to another world through the invisible door, and they both knew that it was a big secret to have a treasure.

After all, the two children were still young and could not protect themselves. If this matter was known to others, they would be hurt.

Qi Mohan ordered overnight that from now on, no one in the mansion, except Imperial Concubine Yun and himself, was allowed to enter the room of Xiao Qing and Xiao Mujin without permission.

Even the wet nurse who had taken care of them since they were young was not allowed to do anything. She could only stand outside the door and listen to their orders.

At the same time, Imperial Concubine Yun also decided that she would take care of the two children’s daily life by herself in the future.

When the two children pulled the water hose from Si Si to their room, Qi Mohan was not present, but Imperial Concubine Yun sat there alone waiting for them.

The most eye-catching thing about the two children this time was the clean clothes they were wearing.

“Qing’er, Mujin, did Miss Si help you wash your clothes?”

Xiao Qing playfully blinked her big eyes a few times: “Grandma, there is the big iron box that Beautiful Sister used to wash mine and my brother’s clothes.”

While speaking, the little girl pulled up her skirt and turned around in front of Imperial Concubine Yun: “Grandma, please smell it, Qing’er’s skirt smells good.”

Indeed, when Xiao Qing turned around, Imperial Concubine Yun smelled the pleasant floral scent.

She nodded in agreement: “Indeed, our Qing’er and Mujin are no longer those dirty children.”

After the voice fell, Imperial Concubine Yun shifted her gaze from the two little clothes to the strange water hose in Xiao Mujin’s hand.

At this time, one end of the water hose was still in Xiao Mujin’s hand, and the rest of the part that grew out, like the hemp rope they often see, was coiled around the door of the closet. The two little ones said there was a door.

Imperial Concubine Yun asked curiously: “Mujin, what is that thing in your hand?”

Si Si did not explain too much about the function of the water hose to the two little ones, and Xiao Mujin’s answer was just a guess after seeing it.

“Grandma, Mujin thinks that water may come out of this thing.”

When the grandparents and grandchildren were communicating, Si Si saw that the two little ones had not come out for a long time, and she was a little anxious to know what happened to her, so she turned on the faucet directly.

Si Si thought to see if the tap water would flow through the hose to Daqi Kingdom.

The tap was turned on. However, the water flow was not very strong, but clear water flowed slowly through the hose.

The remaining section of the hose was in front of the window, as seen by the naked eye. The hose looked like it had been cut off by someone.

In this state, Si Si was not sure whether the tap water would fall on the floor at that location.

As the water flow gradually approached the other end of the hose, visible to the naked eye, Si Si’s heart became nervous.

Fortunately, what Si Si was worried about did not happen.

When the tap water slowly flowed to the other end of the hose, not a drop leaked out.

This means that the tap water here can be successfully transported to Qi Mohan.

Si Si was so happy that she almost cheered. She excitedly ran to the faucet and turned the water to the maximum, hoping that the people of the Great Qi Kingdom who were affected by the disaster would benefit as soon as possible.

In the room between the two children, Xiao Mujin held the water hose in his hand, facing the position of Imperial Concubine Yun’s legs. He was vividly analyzing his guess about the function of the water hose.

Listening carefully to her grandson’s analysis of Imperial Concubine Yun, she suddenly felt a chill in her legs, which scared her. She stood up quickly and took several steps back.

When she looked down, she saw the hose Xiao Mujin was holding, oozing out with water little by little.
