She thought that the village's well was located at a high altitude, and the water level had dropped so much now. In some low-lying areas, if there was abundant groundwater, a well could be dug. In this way, the village would not lack drinking water in the short term.

It is impossible to irrigate the crops in the fields with water from the wells, so we have to find other ways.

"Drip drip."

Li Mengyue walked around the village with the instrument, and the equipment made noises from time to time.

Every time, she would memorize the data and then choose the best location for drilling the well based on the depth and comprehensive humidity.

In this way, Li Mengyue ran around in the wasteland before she determined that there was a suitable place to dig a well not far from the foot of the mountain.

According to the data provided by the instrument, groundwater will emerge if you dig about five meters down.

In the post-era, five meters may seem shallow, but nowadays it relies purely on manpower, so it cannot be accomplished by one or two people, and requires the cooperation of multiple people.

Although the shallower the depth, the richer the groundwater resources, and five meters is neither shallow nor deep, that is to say, there must be a large water source near Xinghua Village.

Suddenly Li Mengyue thought of the beautiful fairyland she saw when she went into the mountains last time, where the water resources were abundant.

If we can bring water from the mountains, it will not only solve the current drought, but Xinghua Village will never lack water again. Not to mention if it doesn't rain for a year, even if it doesn't rain for three to five years, the villagers can rely on the water brought from the mountains to irrigate their crops and get a good harvest.

However, bringing water out of the mountains is definitely a huge project, and it is impossible for the villagers to do it alone.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue temporarily put her mind at ease. It was important to solve the problem of the well first, and then think about how to drink water.

"Drip drip!"

"Drip drip!"

"Drip drip!"

"Drip drip!"

Li Mengyue walked around Xinghua Village and found five places suitable for digging wells. She marked them one by one and went back home, waiting for someone to come and dig tomorrow.

"Oh oh oh!"

Li Mengyue woke up from her sleep when she heard the rooster crowing.

"Oops, I've been sleeping a lot lately and always feel like I'm not getting enough sleep."

[Host, this is caused by pregnancy. I heard that all pregnant women are like this.]

【Yeah. 】

【Uh-huh. 】

The system nodded quickly to prove that he was right, pregnant women are just sleepy.

This was Li Mengyue’s first pregnancy in her previous life. She only knew about the things to pay attention to during pregnancy from books.

She didn't expect that in just over three months, her body had changed so much.

I don’t know if it was her illusion, but I always felt that a belly that was more than three months pregnant shouldn’t be so big.

Touching her obviously bulging belly with her hand, Li Mengyue fell into deep thought, thinking that there might be more than one baby inside.

She couldn't tell how many there were from his pulse, but she thought there were at least three.

Even though she was mentally strong, she felt a little scalp-tingling when she thought about the fact that she was pregnant with at least three babies.

Not to mention in this era, even in the future giving birth to a child is a very dangerous thing.

Fortunately, medical technology has advanced in later generations. Even if a difficult delivery occurs, the baby can be born safely through caesarean section, ensuring the safety of the mother.

The key point is that this cannot guarantee the safety of all pregnant women and babies. Some babies encounter accidents during birth, resulting in severe suffocation, causing brain damage and ruining their lives.

In ancient times when medical technology was so backward, giving birth was absolutely a life-threatening situation. In addition, she was pregnant with more than one baby, so she had to be fully prepared before the baby was born.

In addition to taking good care of your body, you must also ensure material conditions so that your baby can live a happy life as soon as he is born.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue pushed open the door and learned from the voices outside the door that the village chief was already waiting with his men.

"Squeak!"

"Yue girl, you're up. Did we come too early and disturb your sleep?"

"It's okay, Grandpa Village Chief, I woke up a long time ago."

When the village chief saw Li Mengyue's expression, he knew that the water problem had been solved, and he no longer had to worry about not being able to eat or sleep.

"That girl Yue, the village well also produced some water this morning, but not much, you see..."

"Grandpa Village Chief, I know. Yesterday I found five places with abundant groundwater. As long as we dig five meters deep, we will find water."

"Wow!"

"really?"

Not only did the village chief hear this, but the young man waiting at the door also heard it, and everyone was extremely excited.

Seeing that everyone was having so much fun, Li Mengyue coughed twice.

"It's getting late. I'll take you to the marked spot. The sooner we can dig out water, the sooner we won't have to worry about running out of water."

"Yes, yes, Miss Yue is right. Let's go quickly." The village chief echoed.

A quarter of an hour later, the village chief and thirty young men all knew where they could dig for water.

"Well, let's dig up the Li family's wasteland first, and then dig up other places."

After the village chief said this, everyone had no objection and started digging in the wasteland.

After just a short while of digging, many villagers came.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although Li Mengyue collected locusts and gave everyone the opportunity to make money, the living conditions of every household in the village have improved during this period. Everyone is grateful to Li Mengyue's family.

However, some people could not stand it. Before Li Mengyue came back, Li An's wife and children lived a very poor life. No one would object to saying that they were the worst in the village.

But now, Li An, Li and the twins have naturally aroused the jealousy of many people because Li Mengyue has lived a life of no worries about food and clothing.

In particular, Wang Lai’s wife Liu has never had a good life since she married Wang Lai and gave birth to her first daughter.

Originally she thought she was luckier than Li, but now she is still in dire straits, while Li has long escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and is living a happy life. How can she bear this?

So when she learned that the well would soon be dry, she was not afraid at all, but felt relieved instead.

If everyone in the village died of thirst due to lack of water, she would not feel lonely walking on the road to the underworld.

Yes, she wanted to die, but she couldn't leave her three daughters behind, and she really couldn't stand the daily domestic violence.

If she didn't take the initiative to die, sooner or later, she would die at the hands of Wang Lai.

She originally thought that it wouldn't take long before she would be free, but she didn't expect Li Mengyue to have found five more places with water underground. What would she do in the future?

So after Wang Daniu dug one more time and brought out a lot of soil, Liu seemed to be crazy. She snatched the hoe from Wang Daniu's hand and said in despair: "Don't dig anymore, don't dig anymore. There is no water even if you dig any more."

As she said this, she was about to jump into the dug pit. Even though it was only two meters deep, it was not easy for a woman to get out after falling into the wide pit.
