As he said this, he signaled the young man behind him with his eyes.

After receiving the hint, Niu Kangxiao quickly put down the sack on his shoulder and asked someone to bring down a bucket of well water.

"Monkey mother, this is a little gift from the village."

"Yesterday, Shitou led the team back and delivered some food on behalf of everyone, so I brought some along as well."

The village chief patted the full bag and said with a smile.

In addition to the food that had been stored collectively before, there was also some food that was voluntarily handed over to him by the villagers who returned to the village yesterday.

If everyone contributes one and a half kilograms, it would add up to a lot of food.

Moreover, what they brought back was fine grain.

They said it was a small token of their appreciation and hoped the village chief could help pass it on.

So the village chief brought all the food together with the food he had already prepared.

"There is still water here. Don't worry. As long as there is water shortage in the village, we will give priority to you so that you will have no worries about food and drink!"

When the Monkey Queen heard what the village chief said, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The monkey's wife was also there, covering her face with a handkerchief, biting her lips, and sobbing softly.

Dabao, who was standing nearby, supported his grandmother with some worry.

Xiaobao in the village chief's arms looked left and right, at a loss, with his mouth pouted and he felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

"Mom, hug me!"

Finally, he reached out to the monkey wife.

When the monkey's wife heard the child crying, she no longer cared about being sad. She quickly took the child in and hugged him tightly.

After they calmed down a little, the village chief called on people to help them move food and water into the kitchen.

The food is in sacks and can be placed directly on the ground.

The water was poured into the water tank after soliciting opinions.

After finishing the job, the village chief gave a few more instructions before preparing to take his people away.

"If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me!"

"I saved it. Thank you for your concern, Village Chief!"

Monkey Lady had stopped crying and with red eyes she saw off everyone who was leaving.

"No need to be so polite, we are all family!"

After seeing everyone disappear, Monkey Mother waved her hand and said to her daughter-in-law.

"Guihua, go collect the food."

"I know, mother!"

Upon hearing this, Monkey's wife Liang Guihua quickly closed the door and went to the kitchen to pack up the grain bags.

Although the villagers are nice people, the gate still has to be closed when storing food.

It’s not that Liang Guihua is cunning, it’s just common sense.

The pillar of their family's home collapsed, and coupled with a drought, the crops in the fields were basically ruined.

Although she went up the mountain to find a lot of food and dried it, but compared to a large family, that amount of wild vegetables and nuts was still too little.

At this moment, every bit of food is life-saving food, so she has to be cautious.

"Mom! Look!"

Just as Monkey Mother was about to return to the main room, she heard a surprised female voice coming from the kitchen. It was Liang Guihua's voice.

"What's going on? What are you making such a fuss about?!"

Monkey Mother walked towards the kitchen with an unhappy look on her face, but when she saw what Liang Guihua was holding, she couldn't help but smile.

"Is this bacon? And polished rice?"

Liang Guihua was holding a long piece of dried meat in her hand. At first glance, it weighed at least one or two kilograms. At this point in time, it was a very precious thing.

There was a small bag of polished rice next to it.

"It's a good feeling!"

Mother Monkey folded the bag of polished rice and touched the bacon happily, her eyes sparkling.

"Cook two slices at night to nourish Dabao and Xiaobao!"

After saying that, he looked at the skinny Liang Guihua, hesitated for a while, and gritted his teeth: "Three slices, Guihua, you also need to eat some!"

"Mom, I don't need it--"

"What's the use or not? Are you the boss of this family or am I the boss?"

The monkey mother glared at Liang Guihua fiercely: "Listen to me!"

"Okay, mother!"

Liang Guihua knew that the old man was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, so she stopped arguing and agreed.

But she decided in her heart that when the time comes, she would listen to her mother and give three slices of the slice, one for Dabao, one for Xiaobao, and the last slice would be shared by them.

My mother-in-law has bad teeth and only eats fat food, but she eats lean food!

Everyone has it!

There are several other families in the same situation as the monkey's family.

On this sad day, they all received care from the village chief and the village, which made them realize that they are not alone and that the village will not abandon them.

The village chief is fulfilling his promise with practical actions.

Even the smoked meat was paid for half by the village chief himself, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to give out so much at once.

This incident not only reassured the five families, but also reassured the other villagers.

As long as they unite as one and work hard for the future of the village, even if they die one day, their families will be taken care of by the village.

The village chief's behavior today undoubtedly gave the villagers a reassurance.

At night, Meng Huaishao brought Ye Yaoyao and the dog to the ancient well stealthily. Seeing that no one was guarding the well, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"go!"

Ye Yaoyao instantly stood up straight, raised her head and chest, and waved her little fist high with great enthusiasm.

"it is good."

Meng Huaishao had no reason to refuse, so he carried Ye Yaoyao closer to the ancient well.

When they reached the fence, they let the person down and started holding hands instead.

"Yaoyao, be careful, the ground is slippery."

"Uh-huh!"

The baby's big eyes are particularly bright in the dark.

After groping her way to the edge of the well, Ye Yaoyao squatted down, skillfully pushed the manhole cover open a crack, and began to let water in.

[PS: For the safety of yourself and others, please do not push the manhole cover! If you fall into the well, you will not cross it. At the very least, you may break your arms and legs, and at the worst, your life may be in danger! ]

Meng Huaishao stared at his surroundings vigilantly, watching out for possible uninvited guests.

With a "splashing" sound, the water level in the well rose rapidly.

When he felt that it was almost time, Meng Huaishao quickly stopped Ye Yaoyao's actions.

"Okay, that's enough!"

Meng Huaishao lay down beside the well, looked at the bottom, and estimated that it was already two-thirds full.

[PS: The plot requires it! My dears, don’t learn this! It’s dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! ]

"That's enough. Any more will be discovered."

Ye Yaoyao withdrew her hand obediently.

She didn't want to be discovered.

"Let's go!"

Unlike the lofty sentiments just now, the two of them slipped away quietly like thieves.

Not long after the two of them left, the village chief, who had come out to relax because he was worried about the affairs of the village, suddenly appeared in front of the ancient well.

Thinking of the water level that had almost halved today, the village chief sighed, took heavy steps, and slowly came to the ancient well.

He sat down against the manhole cover and was just about to look up at the stars to relax when he noticed something was wrong.

There seems to be some light in the well?

He checked carefully and found that the manhole cover had moved, and there was a gap about the width of a child's fist.
