Chapter 4 Its a pirate! (4)

The water in Azov City has been cut off for five days. The water storage in the city has been exhausted, and even the fruit peels that have been stuck in a little water have been gnawed by people.

"I want to take a shower!" Anna shouted in the room.

"Take a bath? I..."

"I know what you want to say! Anyway, drinking water is more important than taking a bath, right?" Anna interrupted Dust. "But for girls, taking a bath is equally important! My body is smelly. If others smell the smell of sweat on my body, I might as well die! I want to drink water! I also have to take a bath!"

"...I wanted to say that if I wanted to take a bath, I poured water. Although the sea route was blocked by the enemy, I hung the bucket on a long rope yesterday. When the enemy was not paying attention at night, I hung the bucket from the city and secretly hung several buckets of sea water up." Dust replied, "I originally wanted to drink it, but after taking a sip, I found that it was salty and I couldn't drink it, so I put it aside. If you want to take a bath, it's just fine."

"Really?" Anna felt Dust's face suddenly become a little handsome again, "It doesn't matter if it's salty! I'll take a few sips first, and then take a good shower!"

Dust hurriedly stopped Anna: "Drinking salty water will make you thirsty the more you drink. This is the survival skills I learned when I was killed in the Caspian Sea!"

"Well? So there is such a statement?"

"Now this water can only be used for bathing. You can go and wash it first. I will pick up some firewood when I go out. Remember not to pour out the water after taking a bath! I still have some use!"

Dust said and went out to collect firewood.

Anna was full of suspicion of Dust's behavior. She locked the doors and windows, pushed several large cabinets to block the doors and windows, and then she dared to take off her clothes and soak it in the water that Dust hung up.

The water is normal, as Dust said, it is sea water. Anna took a shower. Her skin was stained with water and she felt that even her thirst was relieved.

"You did a good job this time!" After Dust came back from picking up the firewood, Anna praised him vigorously, "What reward do you want? After returning to the Qiqiu Empire, I will definitely reward you!"

But Dust didn't hear these words and looked behind Anna worriedly: "Princess, have you stayed with water?"

"Stay. Although I don't know what the use of bath water can be, since you told me that, I stayed... What's the use of it?"

Dust's heart suddenly relaxed; "It's great, princess, please go out first, I'm going to take a shower too!"

Anna was stunned in place for a while, and after a while, she asked tentatively: "Do you... want to... use my bath water to take a shower?"

"Of course. I've used it once anyway, how wasteful it will be to pour it out?"

"This... OK, that's OK. After all, it's a time when water is short. If you have made me a reward for finding water, just treat it as I rewarding you..."

Dust began to take off his upper body clothes.

"After I finished taking a shower, we put the water in a smaller bucket in batches, put a small cup of water in the center of the small water poke, and then turn my helmet over and cover it on the bucket. We light the firewood to boil the water. When the water boils, it will condense into water droplets on the helmet, and then gather along the shape of the helmet to the top of the helmet, and finally drip into the water cup. In this way, the water in the cup can be drunk... This is the survival skills I learned when I was killed in the Pillar of Hygrites!"

Dust chattered and explained his plan to use the bucket of water, without noticing that Anna's face was gradually turning dark.

"So... this bucket of water was originally drinkable?"

"Of course, after using my method, you can drink it as fresh water."

"Then why do you want me to go in and take a shower first..."

"Anyway, the last thing I drink is the distilled water, it doesn't matter."

"I mind!" Anna shouted, "I don't want to drink my own bath water!"

“…How many more times do I distillate?”

"Distillation several times will not work! This is my last dignity as a princess!"

Dust shrugged: "Okay, then I'll drink it myself."

"Wait, this... no...I..." Anna's voice suddenly became lighter, "Or, you distilled it ten times and I'll try again?"

A sound of trumpet came from the city gate, which was a signal of the enemy's attack. Dust jumped up suddenly, put on his armor and ran towards the city wall.

Ella's troops stopped far away at a position three arrows away from the city wall. After a while, Dust saw ten pirates coming over with a small cart. The carts were filled with ten barrels. The defenders of Azov were curious about what they wanted to do and watched them come to the city.

The pirate at the front was wearing a thick beard, covering half of his face. He put down his cart and snapped his fingers gracefully. The nine pirates behind him shook their heads gracefully, then took off their shirts and showed their strong muscles in front of the defenders.

"Dust...what are they doing?" Anna asked in confusion.

Dust shook his head, saying that he couldn't figure it out either.

"Stop!" The bearded pirate shouted, and the nine pirates behind him stopped to show their muscles and lined up in a neat row.

The bearded pirate moved the buckets from the cart one by one and put them in front of them. Then he raised his hands just above his head and shouted loudly: "Prepare!"

The nine pirates rushed to the ground together.

The bearded pirate closed his eyes and turned his head, as if he was intoxicated by the prelude of music. After a while, he shook his head violently like a conductor of the band, and then shook his hands down: "Get up!"

As the sound came out, it was not the music, but the feet of the pirates - they began to stand upside down.

"Continue!"

The bearded pirate waved his hands up again. So the pirates who were upside down all raised one hand and began to stand upside down with one hand.

"fall!"

The handstand pirates opened the wooden poke in front of them with their empty hands, grabbed a spoon from it and scooped a spoonful of water.

"rise!"

The pirates put the spoon to their mouths and started drinking water.

"Up! Fall! Up! Fall! Up! Fall!"

The bearded pirate shook his head like a rattle, beating under the city wall like commanding music. The defenders of Azov watched the handstand pirates drinking water at this rhythm.

Soon, the water inside was finished drinking. The bearded pirate bowed politely to all the defenders of Azov: "Where is the applause? We are ordered by the King of Sweden to come to Azov to perform a handstand and drink water!"

...

The defenders of Azov who had reacted were so angry that their fists were hard and they cursed and picked up the crossbow arrow. Anna didn't care whether it was exposed or not. She snatched Dust's bow and shot at the bearded pirate with one arrow. But her luck was trembling, and the arrow actually missed. The bearded pirate only heard a "brush" sound, and a pit exploded on the ground in front of her.
