129 – Meeting (1)⚝
On Monday morning, I took Rosa to an emergency rescue lecture. Last week I taught you how to splint, but this time I’m going to teach you how to procure drinking water in case of distress.
“Professor!”
When I asked what was the reason for learning that in first aid.
“If you are injured in the forest, you may die from dehydration, so even these tips are included in emergency rescue. Whether it’s for yourself or for the sake of your friends, this is a must-know survival skill, so don’t ask any more questions!”
Professor Malek is halfway between Rega and Carlson. He is authoritative and one-sided, but at least not unfair. His teaching abilities cannot be evaluated, but he does not seem to be of the highest rank like En Boja Menshi.
“Yo, hero, oh, today me, me too.”
Roza stuttered again, so I asked him to repeat the kanji.
“Hero.”
“Yo, hero.”
“Me too today.”
“Me too today.”
“Good job.”
“Well, well, did you do well?”
After the theoretical lecture is over, they are immediately sent to the forest. They are told to bring 500ml of drinking water within an hour, but there are no springs or streams. I had a dagger and a sturdy sack, and the saintess, who could not hold blades, brought only several leather straps and a whip for self-defense. The maximum number of devices allowed for emergency responders was two.
“I need to find water.”
“Yeah…… Mu, if it’s water, ho, since it’s in the lake, go there?”
─I’m stupid for asking.
“No, I have to come here from the forest. Going all the way to the lake would be a disqualification, and this place doesn’t even have a spring, so we have to dig the ground. I’ll try to do something, so don’t get lost and follow me.”
“Yeah…… Sue, I will obey. That, that, that…… But, warrior!”
“Tell me.”
“I-I…… Oh, I know how to find water. Mi, Mi, trust me and leave it to me, can we do it together?”
Suffering from delusions, I wondered if this was all nonsense. Pretending to be deceived, I ordered it, and after running around sniffing for a long time, it stops somewhere.
“Here…… Mu, the water is down here.”
“Really?”
“Mae, I swear…… Seriously, the saintess does not deceive the hero!”
I prayed again, so I repented and dug the floor with a knife. Only dry soil kept coming out, so when I turned around, she was holding her hands tightly together. When she dug until her shoulders ached, wet dirt came out. Rosa comes to my side on her knees and tells me to take off her clothes.
“Clothes?”
“Haaa…… This is not something I ask for out of spite.”
“Can I have a coat?”
“Oh, no…… Oh, what to wear inside…… Bo, it has to be soft and dense fabric.”
I meant to put on my shirt, so I put down my coat and turned my back. I hesitated to see if I could show my bare body, but then I stripped off. A gasp was heard. After opening it wide, I put on my jacket again and turned around.
“Hey, healthy…… De, trustworthy.”
She knelt down, her hands clasped between her crotches. Ignoring her because she was somehow raunchy, she asked if it could be now. Rosa continues to chug her spittle, and she has to push it through the wet soil.
“Is that the end?”
“Mu, every time water gathers…… It has to be transferred to a bowl.”
That’s about it, it can be made with a single dagger. I broke the gnarled tree and cut it out, starting with the groove. Rosa closed her eyes tightly and said she was scared, so I wonder if she can’t see something like this.
“Cha, I’ll be patient…… Yo, to the hero, don’t get in the way…… Me too, I will endure it.”
“Then at least turn your back.”
“Yeah…… Yes, as the kind hero said, turn around and wait.”
─Looks like an idiot, but he listens very well.
That’s why it’s comfortable. Pakpak, dug up knots to make a water bowl. I didn’t think it would be possible to do it with one, so I made two, and it was enough to fill about 500ml. Looking at the water in the pit, the amount is quite small. When I lifted my shirt, Rosa brought me a gourd. One has been filled somehow, but the other one is a problem.
“It’s too late to dig again.”
From noble mtl dot com
To be content with only bringing 300-400ml of water, including the freshly collected water.
“Hero, Rosa…… Hey, do you believe in Clie?”
“I believe.”
“Then…… Joe from here, a little deeper into the woods…… I’m not going there with a bad heart…… Huh.”
I decided to go and believe. Rosa pointed to a slender tree while walking through a forest completely devoid of moisture. I don’t know what this is, but it’s a water tree. If you cut this at an angle with a knife, water will leak out.
“This?”
At the same time as cutting, sap flows out on the cut slope. I asked how Rosa knew this because Rosa was waiting for her with her knots ripped off. All orphans in the west know this because mountains and forests are their playgrounds. It’s only natural that affluent southerners and easterners don’t know.
“I’m from the North?”
“Yeah, as expected…… Me and Yo, the hero is Chu, and we have similar origins!”
─Where are you going?
On the way back, the bushes were overgrown, so I got out ahead. Then, suddenly, Rosa’s scream rang out. Just turn his head
“Kyaaah! Pears, pears, snakes?”
It’s an evil snake, and while hissing, it just falls down. Saintess! As he ran away screaming, the snake held his head high in a coil. I thought it was a poisonous snake, but it was a *hwasa (花蛇) that can often be seen in our hometown. These guys are not very weak in poison, and they are not a threat because they are so timid.
“Yo, hero…… Come on, holy water!”
I’m holding on tight to the gnarled subject lying on the floor. After accepting it, even the evil snake does not move, asking to be defeated. I tapped the snake with my boot foot. It twisted around as if it were going to attack me, and when it wrapped around my leg, I kicked it away and kicked it away.
“Lo, Lo, save Rosa. If I die, Clie’s children will die too. Oh no…… Oh, I don’t want to die yet. I have a lot of work to do. Beauty, wheat must be washed, warrior chi, treatment must be done, and sins, sins must be washed away. Our Lady, don’t take me away. Please, have pity on the saintess, save her!”
“I’m done.”
I was making a fuss by myself, so I said that there was no injury, and my knee hurt and I couldn’t get up.
“Can I pull it by hand?”
“Oh no…… That’s me, contact!”
“If you don’t like it, can you carry it on your back?”
I immediately shook my head, saying that if I did such an obscene thing, I would dig up sulfur in the pits of hell.
“So what?”
Rosa lifted him up from the floor with her arms and knelt down on his knees. Really hurt Just as he’s about to say that he thinks it’s best to recover with his divine power, he rummages through his pockets and pulls out his leather strap. Then, he wraps one around his waist and ties the other around his wrists, leaving an extra.
“Come on, if you grab and pull this, it’s not contact…… Hero, please raise me up!”
─Let’s go back like this?
“Reach out your hand.”
“Hey, here…… Your book, the saintess, met Wei, Wei Nanan!”
Unable to succumb to the ordeal, I pulled the string that bound his wrists tight. In response, Rosa stood up. There’s a little scar on his real knee. He told me to treat it first, so if I use all my strength, I’ll get tired and say I can’t do it. After using it for a little bit, it sits on a tree stump and only erases the wound. The bleeding stopped and only bruises remained.
“Can you walk?”
“My knees…… Joe, it hurts a little…… If the hero asks…… Go, I will follow you like cattle.”
“Can I follow you if you pull the string?”
“Yeah…… Sue, I am obedient.”
Take both the straps tied around your waist and the straps tied around your arms taut, then let me pull them in front.
“Ugh…… What?”
“If it hurts, I’ll pull it gently.”
“Ah…… I am used to being sick.”
“Just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.”
He led while moderately controlling his strength. With one hand, she pulled Rosa, and with the other, she picked up a knot. The dagger was still in the sack. When I returned to my original place, there was some water. After having Rosa take the gourd, I filled it up with the rest of the water, and it seemed like it would easily exceed 500ml. Pull the string again and go back.
“What is it?”
The professor was surprised. I explained that the saintess fell down and had to do this in order to come together without contact. All the male and female cadets who witnessed us put on strange faces. I would have misunderstood.
“I filled it up with this.”
“Seo, it’s Seongsu…… Brother Deman and I went and did it together.”
It’s very slow, but Rosa is also with me and changes a little. Before, I couldn’t speak, but now, when I talk with the professor, I can interrupt from the side. When her malek sees her, she hides behind her back without saying a word and fiddles with her strap.
“It’s great to see that you filled up 500ml. Can you also explain where you got it?”
I asked Rosa for permission to speak here with the cadets. hehehe, he smiles like an idiot and nods his head.
“Awesome yo, hero…… Ro, Roja and Sue, you can expose whatever you want in the forest.”
As he put his hands together saying he would obey, he put the agitated people to sleep. The saintess explained that she did not live outside her life and that she was not fluent in the language of the world, and then she explained how she brought water. Malek heard it all.
“So, can I drink this?”
“No, it’s okay to drink, it’s okay…… Seriously, it’s holy water.”
Roza interrupted. As her knots lifted the gourds one by one, the saintess pursed her small lips and drank her water. She drinks it in one gulp, but she spills half of it. The water was pouring soggyly that the breastplate of her clothes was wet.
“What is everyone watching?”
A blatant gaze was withdrawn at Malek’s warning. Rosa, who finished drinking the water, looked at me and smiled.
“Yo, the holy water the hero gave me…… No, I drank it all deliciously!”
She opened her mouth wide and said she drank it all, even showing her throat. Her teeth were so small that they looked like a child’s mouth. I covered her body with my back and drank the rest in one gulp. These days, on the day I meet Rosa, I wear a chastity belt, but otherwise it would have been very difficult.
“How is it?”
In response to the professor’s question, he replied that it had a bit of an earthy taste.
“Exactly! The water obtained by digging the ground contains bug eggs and all kinds of junk, which can cause stomach pain. The cadets here should also listen carefully to the story and keep it in mind. If you can’t help it, you have to dig the ground, but if that’s not the case, you should know that it’s better to dig up and eat the bulbs. Anyway, since you both drank well, you passed.”
As soon as he heard it, his stomach seemed to hurt, so he frowned. The professor handed him the pills. He said he would suffer if he didn’t eat this, so he cut it in half and gave it to Rosa as well. Then she opened her mouth wide, her self with her index and middle fingers.
“Aham…… !”
Let’s drop it, and without water, he flips it over and laughs hehehe. Oh my head, I have to take this woman to the annex today and introduce her to everyone, so she is already dizzy. For the time being, I will continue to act like an aphasic patient.
