Looking at the village elder's smiling face, Du Feng was sure of his guess. That's right, the water must have a magical healing effect, and it was better than any healing medicine.
The only thing he wasn't sure of was whether the water in the well had such a healing effect, or whether it had to be put into a vat to have such an effect. In short, everything in this village was magical. The more inconspicuous something was, the more likely it was to have a greater effect.
"Hey!"
Du Feng shouted and cheered up. The injury on his hand had actually healed. Of course, he had to continue fetching water. He only fetched a bucket of water just now. One had to know that the villagers needed water every day. How could a bucket of water be enough? Ever since he washed his hands with the water, even the soreness in his muscles seemed to have lessened.
He carried the bucket to the well. Because the bucket was empty, it felt much lighter. This time, he didn't hesitate and directly threw the bucket into the well. Soon, he heard a splash in the well. He knew that the bucket had fallen into the water, so he began to pull it up with ease.
This time, the pain in his hand wasn't as strong, but the fatigue in his body was even stronger. After all, he had just fetched a bucket of water and hadn't fully rested. Now that he had to fetch the second bucket, even his thigh muscles with the strongest endurance couldn't take it. His legs began to tremble slightly, and his lower back was also a little sore.
Persevere, I have to get this bucket out first before resting.
After all, Du Feng had stayed in the lower realm and had suffered a lot along the way. He had been through worse things, so this was nothing to him. He gritted his teeth and pulled the bucket up bit by bit. Because his stamina wasn't as good this time, he pulled the bucket out of the well after more than 150 times.
"Hu … hu …"
He took a few deep breaths and looked at his hands. As expected, they were scratched by the hemp rope again. However, the scratches weren't as serious as the last time. It seemed that the skin on his hands had thickened. Or it could be said that the skin's resistance to abrasion had increased, so it wasn't as painful as the last time.
After a short rest, he carried the bucket again, trembling, and finally poured the water into the big vat.
"Young man, wash your hands again."
The village head was waiting for him with another ladle of water. This time, Du Feng hurried over and washed his hands. He also washed the sweat on his arms. In short, the village elder only scooped half a ladle each time. If Du Feng was slow, he could only wash his hands. If he was fast, he could wash his arms as well.
Huh? This time, Du Feng discovered another miraculous thing. Not only was the injury on his hand healed, but the fatigue on his arm was also gone. Not only was his fatigue gone, but the muscles in his arms also bulged slightly. He felt full of strength.
Wow, this water is amazing. Unfortunately, the half ladle of water had already been poured out, and the village elder was still looking at him with a smile.
Du Feng wondered what would happen if he could jump into a large water tank and take a bath. However, he quickly dispelled this idea. After all, that was the water tank that the entire village depended on for survival. How could he jump into it to take a bath? As long as it was not the village elder's consent, he would not do anything.
In fact, people with discerning eyes could see that the Endless Domain was very different. This village was also very unusual. The village elder was even more mysterious.
"I'll get another bucket!"
Du Feng became more and more interested in the water in the well, and he discovered a rule. As long as he fetched a bucket of water, the village elder would give him half a ladle. Not a trace more, not a trace less. This was probably the principle of more work, more pay that the villagers adhered to.
Previously, he noticed that Uncle Wang and Uncle Li, who were sowing, would deliberately eat less when they ate because they did less work. He did not know whether it was a habit that everyone consciously cultivated, or a rule set by the village elder.
Du Feng did not ask and did not dare to ask. Anyway, more work could be more pay, so he just had to do more work. There was no need to know the reason.
He went to fetch water again in high spirits. This time, the pain in his hand was even less. It felt like wearing a pair of gloves. Basically, he did not rub his skin. And his arms were also full of strength. The muscles were not so easily tired.
But the problem was that his legs and back had already reached their limit after the previous two times of labor. So when the bucket was halfway up, his legs were already trembling to the point of no return. In order not to waste all his previous efforts, Du Feng had to stick the hemp rope by the well and take a break for a while.
When the hemp rope was stuck by the well, he only needed to use a little force in his hand, and the bucket would fall. Of course, it would not rise. He felt that his legs were not trembling so much, so he continued to use strength to pull up. But this time, the method of using strength had changed because the muscles of his legs and back were tired. So the extent of his squatting became smaller, and the extent of his waist also became smaller. Instead, he used more strength in his arms.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! "
Du Feng pulled the rope and encouraged himself at the same time. Finally, he fetched the third bucket of water. After the bucket was placed by the well, he rested for a while before carrying it again. Because to pour water into the large vat, he needed to carry the bucket, which required the strength of his legs and back.
"Huala …"
After the third bucket was poured into the large vat, Du Feng sat down on the ground in exhaustion. He was very clear about his body's condition. Three buckets of water this afternoon was already his limit.
"Come, wash again."
This time, the village elder did not mention washing his hands. Instead, he poured half a ladle of water onto Du Feng's body. Du Feng was already exhausted, but he still quickly raised his hands and took the opportunity to rub his whole body. He did not even let go of his legs that were sitting on the ground because the water was too precious.
After a round of rubbing, he felt that his whole body was incomparably relaxed. He wanted to immediately jump up and continue fetching water. But suddenly, his vision went black and he actually fainted. Although the feeling of muscle fatigue had disappeared, he had used too much strength to fetch water three times. His physical strength was completely exhausted, and the True Essence in his body was basically exhausted. It would be strange if he did not faint.
When Du Feng woke up again, he found himself still next to the large vat. The village elder was nowhere to be found. The ladle was placed next to the large vat, and the bucket was placed next to the mouth of the well. At this time, if he picked up the ladle and poured it on himself, or simply jumped into the large vat to take a bath, no one would see it.
