Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

"That's right. We go to the mountains to find a large amount of water, use bamboo pipes to bring the water to the village, and then distribute it to each family's fields."

"Girl Yue, do we need to bring other people with us when we go to the mountains?"

"Ah."

The village chief has been a village cadre for decades and has seen the world, and he considers things more comprehensively.

He knew very well that Li Mengyue was capable, but she could never accomplish something that he dared not even think about by herself.

After getting a definite answer from Li Mengyue, the village chief decided not to stay in the Yang family anymore.

"Girl Yue, I'll go back and arrange for someone to cut the bamboo."

Li Mengyue didn't expect that the village chief not only did not refute the method she proposed, but also supported her with practical actions.

This touched her to some extent. After all, her reputation had become very bad due to Yun Ran's interference.

Even though she had been collecting locusts during this period, providing income for people in the surrounding villages, everyone openly respected her.

But she knew very well that in this age where reputation is more important than anything else, without her innocence, it would be very difficult for her to survive, let alone get married.

Since she returned to Xinghua Village, it seemed that the village chief had never had any ill will towards her, and even unconditionally supported everything she did, which further strengthened her determination to help the villagers overcome difficulties.

After estimating the distance from the mysterious fairyland to Xinghua Village, Li Mengyue said to the village chief with certainty: "Grandpa Village Chief, first cut down 400 large bamboos, dry them and keep them for later use. When I lead people to find a water source, they will be ready for use."

"Okay, don't worry, Yue girl. I won't be a hindrance here."

As he said this, he looked at Carpenter Yang, who was so moved that he also made a promise.

"me too."

Seeing that the two were very motivated, Li Mengyue didn't want to disappoint them and thought that no matter what, they had to divert the water from the mysterious wonderland.

It's just that the distance from the village to the deep mountains is forty miles, which is not close. The key is that she still calculated it in a straight line. If there is an obstacle there and she needs to take a detour, the distance will be extended, more bamboo will be needed, and the amount of water diversion project will be increased.

"Grandpa Village Chief, the first thing we need to do is to go to the mountains to find water. Call the hunters in the village and find a dozen strong young men. Come with me to the mountains tomorrow morning."

The village chief knew that the crops in the fields could not wait, so he answered readily.

"Okay, leave it to me. I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain tomorrow."

After these matters were preliminarily discussed, the village chief didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Lao Yang, you are busy. I will go back first."

After the village chief left, Carpenter Yang picked up the blueprint and began to study it. Since Li Mengyue had marked the dimensions and other things in great detail, he could understand it at a glance and took action immediately.

The village chief and Li Mengyue separated and on the way home, the thought that there would be water to irrigate the crops soon made the heavy stone in his heart finally fall down, and he subconsciously hummed a little tune.

"Village Chief Li, Village Chief Li, please wait a moment."

Hearing someone calling him, the village chief stopped immediately and saw someone driving a ox cart towards him in the distance.

When the ox cart was still some distance away, the village chief saw Ma Wei and Village Chief Ma on the ox cart.

"Village Chief Ma, Ma Wei, how come you are free today?"

Village Chief Ma got out of the car and said carefully, "Village Chief Li, our village's well has not produced much water since a few days ago. The villagers are selling locusts. I saw that your village has dug five new wells, which solved the problem of drinking water."

After listening to what Village Chief Ma said, Village Chief Li already understood what the other party meant. He just wanted Li Mengyue to help find a location to dig a well.

"Village Chief Ma, let's not beat around the bush. I believe you know that the location of the well was discovered by the girl from the Li family. I can't make the decision. If she agrees, I have no objection."

Village chief Li would indeed not stop it. Not to mention that the villagers were related by marriage, the two villages were so close that people from the surrounding villages came to sell locusts every day. The five wells in their village could not be concealed at all. Even in this drought, if Xinghua Village was the only one that had enough water to drink, it would definitely become a target for robbery.

Therefore, if they want to survive the drought, in addition to the people in their village working together, they also need to unite with the surrounding villages.

However, even though we agreed to it, we couldn't let the people of Lotus Village think it was too easy.

Hearing what Village Chief Li said, Village Chief Ma immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't refuse, that was good enough.

"I have time now. Come on, I'll take you to Li's house to find Yue."

"Thank you so much, Brother Li."

"Don't be polite, it's all for the villagers."

In less than half a cup of tea, the ox cart driven by Ma Wei stopped in front of the Li family's door.

Seeing that there was a constant stream of people selling locusts in the Li family courtyard, even though Village Chief Ma knew that the business was booming, he did not expect so many people to come.

Village chief Li often came to the Li family and arrived at the door of Li Mengyue's room with ease.

"Girl Yue, Village Chief Ma from Lotus Village wants to see you."

"What's wrong, Grandpa Village Chief?"

When Village Chief Ma saw Li Mengyue coming out, he couldn't wait to say, "Miss Li, I'm the village chief of Lianhua Village. I'd like to invite you to come to our village and help mark a few places where we can dig wells."

"Five hundred coins for a well."

"Ah!" Village Chief Ma exclaimed when he heard the price.

“Forget it if it’s too expensive.”

"No, no, I don't think it's expensive, this price is very fair."

He knew very well that if it didn't rain for another month, water would become as precious as food, and even if he had money, he might not be able to buy it.

What's more, they are digging wells. As long as they find a place with underground water and dig a few more wells in the village, they will no longer have to worry about water shortage. It's just a pity for the crops in the fields.

"Then when can you come to my village?"

Village chief Ma looked at Li Mengyue eagerly.

Li Mengyue originally wanted to talk about tomorrow, but it was hard for her to refuse the anxious Ma Village Chief, so she said slowly, "Now."

"Oh, okay, okay, come on, Ma Wei, get Miss Li in the car, we'll go back now."

"okay!"

After Ma Wei excitedly replied to Village Chief Ma, he quickly ran to Li Mengyue and said attentively: "Miss Li, please get in the car."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Village Chief Li did not stay long and went back to find people to cut bamboo and select young people to go up the mountain with him tomorrow.

For fear that the cart was going too fast and would jolt Li Mengyue, Ma Wei drove the cart steadily even though he was very anxious. After an hour and a half, he finally returned to Lianhua Village.

Li Mengyue took out a disguised geological monitoring device from the space and walked around Lianhua Village from time to time.

In the eyes of Village Chief Ma and Ma Wei, Li Mengyue was just strolling around casually.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Mengyue stopped, broke off a branch she had picked up on the roadside, and stuck it into the ground.

Village Chief Ma was very excited and asked carefully: "Miss Li, we can dig water here, right?"

"Just dig six meters deep."

After that, he continued to walk forward. It took him an hour to check the Lotus Village. It was estimated that the Lotus Village was a little far from the mountain, so he only found three places where groundwater could be dug out.
