Chapter 162: Receiving The Money
Knowing that their Supreme General was angry, Ren Fanyan and Xiao Gui stood there motionless. Yao Zhen was silent for a moment, then said, "Since clear water is too expensive, let’s buy the well water instead."
Hearing what he said, Ren Fanyan hurriedly said, "General Yao, the well water is too muddy to be safe to be used as drinking water."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Zhen frowned. He thought for a while, looked at Ren Fanyan and asked, "You said the well water is too muddy to be used as drinking water. Then how can these villagers get the clean water? How clean is their water?"
Hearing his question, Xiao Gui said, "Report to General Yao. Their clean water is clear and free of debris. It’s like water from a mountain spring or rainwater."
"Impossible!" Hearing his answer, Yao Zhen and Ren Fanyan exclaimed at the same time.
Startled by their reaction, Xiao Gui blinked and said, "This subordinate saw the clear water with my own eyes. The water is so clear that when the water is poured into a bucket, it is as if the bucket is empty."
Yao Zhen and Ren Fanyan looked at Xiao Gui’s puzzled expression and knew that he was not lying. Since he didn’t lie, then the clear water is really as clear as he said.
Ren Fanyan looked at Yao Zhen and said, "General Yao, where do you think these villagers get their clean water from?"
Yao Zhen folded his arms and fell into deep thought, but did not answer Ren Fanyan. After a long silence, he said, "Given the terrain of this area, it is impossible for them to get clean water from the mountain spring."
