Chapter 1,724: Water Shortage Crisis

Lin Tian heard Fang Min take the blame for the trouble she had caused, and looked at her in surprise.

Let an innocent person, especially a girl, take the blame for him, no matter what it was, Lin Tian would not agree.

So he stood up.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Regardless of Fang Min's matter, I actually drank the water."

"I just woke up and was very thirsty. I didn't know that this water was the last bit of water for everyone, so I drank it all."

"I'm really sorry, everyone. If you want to blame someone, just blame me." Lin Tian said sincerely and apologetically.

"Okay! Damn it! It turns out that you are an ungrateful person!"

"You didn't do anything. We saved your life. It's great that you are thirsty. We are thirsty too!"

Wang Qiang was already angry, but he couldn't get angry because of Fang Min. Now he heard Lin Tian take the initiative to stand up and admit it, and he roared in anger.

"That's right! We've been tired all day, sleepy, hungry and exhausted!"

"We had a lot of water left. When you had a fever, we gave you most of the water to save you. You drank all the remaining water!"

"You are such a heartless person, you are so greedy!" The other people also had strong opinions and criticized him.

"Damn it! This last bit of water is equivalent to our life-saving water!"

"You actually drank it all. How can you bring us good luck? I think you are a disaster star. You are going to lead us to a dead end!"

Wang Qiang was furious and rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Lin Tian.

Lin Tian knew he was in the wrong, even though he could easily dodge, he let him grab his collar.

"Damn it! I was the first one to find you!"

"If I hadn't been sharp-eyed, you would have missed our fishing boat and died at sea!"

"There are so many people dying at sea every year. One more person like you won't make a difference. You are a nuisance if you are alive. I will throw you out now!" Wang Qiang grabbed Lin Tian's collar and dragged him directly onto the deck.

Wang Qiang, in a rage, could do anything.

The few people who had followed the shouting were stunned for a moment, and then they all stood there without moving, with expressions of watching a good show on their faces.

They were not really hard-hearted, and could have let Lin Tian be thrown in and ignored him, letting him die at sea.

But because their remaining fresh water was drunk, they were also very annoyed. No matter what Wang Qiang thought and did, they thought it was good to throw Lin Tian into the sea for a while as a punishment.

But Fang Min on the side didn't think so. In her heart, she even blamed herself.

She was kindhearted and thought that if she had not left Lin Tian at that time, he would not have done such a thing that angered everyone, and at least he could have left some water for everyone.

"Wang Qiang, don't!" Fang Min hurriedly stopped in front of the stairs, not allowing Wang Qiang to take Lin Tian up.

"Get out of the way! This kid is heartless, why keep him, you don't want to fall in love with him!" Wang Qiang shouted viciously.

"No... I... I just met him, how could it be possible!" Fang Min shouted hurriedly.

"If you don't, then get out of the way! I know you saved him with great difficulty, but look at the person you saved, his selfish character is engraved in his bones, why are you so good to him!" Wang Qiang stared.

"I admit that he was wrong, but things have become like this, we can only face it."

"Even if you throw him into the sea and drown him, it won't change anything!" Fang Min opened her arms, kept changing her position to stop Wang Qiang, and shouted loudly at the same time.

"What are we facing? Do we deserve to be thirsty? You know how uncomfortable it is to have no water!"

"You haven't had any water for almost a day because of this kid. You gave him all the water I gave you before. Don't you feel regretful?" Wang Qiang shouted.

Lin Tian looked at Fang Min in surprise.

No wonder her lips were a little chapped. It turned out that she didn't drink a drop of water for a day to take care of herself.

"I don't regret it!"

"Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I don't understand these. I only know that I can't watch someone die without saving him. I can give up when I can save a life!"

"I saved his life. If you want to kill him, you might as well kill me first. You can just throw me down and drown me!" Fang Min raised her head stubbornly and refused to give in.

"You!" Wang Qiang's chest kept rising and falling with anger. He didn't know what to say.

"Okay, things have already come to this, so don't worry about it anymore."

"What's the point of arguing? The water can't be exchanged!"

The old man Fang, who had been silent, looked at his granddaughter and finally spoke.

"But just let this kid go? That's too easy for him!"

"No, I have to beat him up, or I can't let him go!" Wang Qiang still refused to give in, and pushed Lin Tian against the wall, grabbing his collar with one hand and making a fist with the other, trying to hit him on the head.

"No!" Fang Min shouted immediately and was about to rush over.

"Enough! What's the point of doing those useless things!"

"Save some energy, everyone just bear it and drink some fish soup tonight."

"We will leave early tomorrow morning, and you can drink whatever you want when you go back, just bear it and it will pass!" Old man Fang reached out and grabbed Wang Qiang's arm.

"Hmph! You are lucky, if they hadn't stopped me, I would have made you pay!" Wang Qiang glared at Lin Tian fiercely.

"Pah!" He turned around and spat at Lin Tian's feet.

"Are you okay?" Fang Min hurried over and asked.

"I'm fine. I'm really sorry about the water." Lin Tian said guiltily.

"That can't be helped. Don't blame yourself too much." Fang Min said.

"What's the use of just saying sorry! If you really feel sorry, you have the ability to turn some fresh water back!" Wang Qiang shouted indignantly while taking a spoon to fill a bowl of fish soup.

"It's so salty... How can this fish soup quench my thirst..." He drank a few sips of the fish soup and immediately complained, not forgetting to look at Lin Tian with contempt.

"Hey, stop talking, it will pass if you bear with it..."

"It's really quite salty, it really can't quench your thirst."

"Drink it first, it will be fine when you go back tomorrow."

The rest of the people also served themselves a bowl of fish soup, talking at once.

Fang Min was used to cooking, and the fish soup she made was always praised for being delicious.

But they were thirsty and complained, and now they drank the same fish soup again, and naturally felt that it was much saltier than usual.

Things were still like this, so everyone accepted it. Fang Min brought the fish and several other dishes to the table, and everyone ate with big mouthfuls.

I had planned to drink to celebrate, but now I'm not in the mood.

After all, I was thirsty, and drinking more wine would only make me feel worse.
