Yu Xiaolian clicked her tongue twice, "Do the people here only use water for cooking and never wash their clothes or bathe?"
Su Jingchen replied, "I heard from the house owner that there's a well halfway up the mountain, but the water output is very little, and there's a line to fetch water around the clock for twelve hours every day. Each household queues for two days just to get a barrel of water.
The villagers here never bathe or wash clothes in winter. The first round of water at home is used to wash vegetables, and the water used for washing vegetables is not discarded but reserved to wash dishes. After washing the dishes, the water is still not discarded and is used to irrigate the vegetable field."
Yu Xiaolian widened her eyes in amazement. Since water is so scarce in this Miao Village, why do these people insist on staying here and not move away?
