Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

"Yuan, where did you get the water? I went looking for it this morning but couldn't find it." Uncle Wang returned empty-handed with a wooden bucket, looking disappointed. Suddenly, he saw Xu Yuan carrying a wooden bucket filled with water. His disappointment turned into surprise, and he could not help but raise his voice. This loud voice immediately attracted the villagers who were following Uncle Wang, also carrying wooden buckets with disappointed faces, and worried about finding water.

"Haha, I'm lucky. I went out to look for wild vegetables, and when I walked under a big tree, I stepped into a small puddle. I didn't find any wild vegetables, but I found water." Xu Yuan would definitely not reveal that he had a golden finger, so he quickly found an explanation to fool people.

"You're looking for wild vegetables, why are you using a wooden barrel?"

"Isn't this convenient to carry? Haha."

Making a wish really couldn't handle the nonsense literature of everyone asking and answering questions, so I quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle Wang, the water source is over there. Wait for me to fetch water in. Remember to bring a hoe. I will lead you there." Xu Yuan fetched water in easily and effortlessly.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, go eat first. Let's go have breakfast too. Or you can go change first and I'll ask who needs to save water. Then we can go together."

"Row."

Xuyuan stepped into the cave with water in her hand. In an instant, everyone's eyes were on her.

Thanks to Uncle Wang’s loud voice, everyone in the village knew that water had been found after making a wish!

"Make a wish, girl. I heard from my old man at home, thank you."

"Yes, it really solved my urgent problem." Mrs. Zhang woke up early in the morning and found that the place where she kept the bucket was wet. When she opened the lid of the bucket, oh my god! There was only half of the water left, and it was still decreasing slowly.

She asked her husband to lift the bucket and found that it was leaking. Mrs. Zhang quickly took some useless cloth and tied it up with ropes, but she was panicked when she saw the water leaking all over the floor and the half bucket of water in the bucket. Although there was still a small half, she only had two wooden buckets.

So she hurriedly urged her man to go out to find water. When she saw her man coming back with a disappointed look on his face, he looked at the little bit of water in the wooden bucket handed to him and said that it was dew collected from outside. Well, it was dew, at least there was some water.

At this time, she heard the sound outside, heard that Xuyuan had found water, and saw Xuyuan coming in with a bucket of water. Mrs. Zhang was really happy.

Xuyuan nodded, picked up the bucket and placed it on the spot where his family lived.

"Sister, have breakfast. Sit by the fire and I'll warm the corners of your coat. And I've filled the water bag with water." Xu Zhi woke up not long after Xu Yuan left. Xu Yuan was still sleeping peacefully. He half sat up and saw that no one was sleeping where his elder sister was. He also saw boiling water and porridge on the fire, but a bucket was missing. Xu Zhi knew that Xu Yuan had gone out.

So he poured the boiled water into a large water bag after cooling it down a little, woke up his younger brother, and they all washed up briefly. He left some porridge to keep warm, waiting for him to come back after making a wish.

Xu Yuan quickly fixed it, and the edge of his coat was not so wet anymore, but he did not plan to change it, after all, he still had to go out. He told his brother and sister-in-law to wait here, and then went to Uncle Wang's place.

The village chief also knew that Xuyuan had found water, so he sent his son to follow with an empty earthenware jar. Gu Qinghan looked at his three full buckets of water, feeling helpless.

Holding empty buckets, and led by Xuyuan, the crowd turned left and right, and finally arrived under a big tree.

"This is it."

Everyone was amazed, puzzled, and clicked their tongues...

"Wishing girl, you didn't take the wrong path, did you?"

"Old man, I'm not blind, am I? Is there water here? Xiaoyuan, this..."

Gu Qinghan was walking at the end. He saw the person in front of him suddenly stop and say something about water.

Water, there are too many weeds here, and there are no small ponds or anything. Did I make the wrong wish?

Gu Qinghan walked forward with the clay jar and saw clearly where it was.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Xu Yuan stepped forward and pulled aside the weeds, and a small puddle appeared in front of everyone.

"This... is not the case. Even if there is water, how much water can there be in such a small puddle?"

"Yeah, let's do this. Whoever is short of water should get some first, and then everyone can have a spoonful of water. No, who of you has brought a spoon?"

"Nothing. I thought it was a puddle, but it turned out to be a puddle."

"Don't worry, everyone. I've tried it. This is running water. There's no shortage of water here. Didn't I just fill it with some water? Look, it's full again."

"Oh, why did Yuan girl ask us to bring hoes? Can't we dig a bigger hole?" A villager reacted and quickly picked up a hoe and started digging.

"Yes, guys, start digging."

He really understands things immediately and speaking is effortless.

"Okay, it's almost done." At this time, the original barrel-sized pit gradually turned into a small pool of water that could hold four barrels. The depth was also deepened a little, at least enough to hold half the height of a barrel. Everyone was just anxious to use water to deal with the emergency, and did not plan to dig a big and deep pit.

After waiting for a while, the turbid water gradually became clear and everyone started to fill water.

"Gu boy, can you lend me your clay pot?" Uncle Wang found that putting the whole wooden barrel down would easily make the water turbid, and he would have to wait for the water to become clear before filling it up again. This was very slow, so he planned to use other tools. After searching for a long time, he saw a fallen leaf on the ground. Just as he was about to pick it up, he glanced and found something better.

"Here." Gu Qinghan stood aside and watched silently. When he heard that Uncle Wang wanted to borrow something, he immediately handed it over.

With the addition of clay pots, people gradually became faster in filling water.

After a while, everyone returned with a full load and returned to the cave satisfied.

Now that everyone had water, they planned to collect the chickens, ducks and geese. The village chief said that they should rest in the cave for another day and set out the day after tomorrow.

Some people were boiling water, and some were carrying water back and forth. Xu Yuan saw that everyone had cleaned up the chickens, ducks, and geese, opened the earthenware jars, which were full of coarse salt, took out some and rubbed it on the chickens, ducks, and geese, then tied them up with ropes and smoked them over the fire, as if they were free. Wasn't it said that salt was strictly controlled in ancient times? How come everyone had so much?

I made a wish and searched my memory. Wow, it turned out that there was a kind of stone found on the mountain in Qingshan Village. The villagers called it mountain salt.

It turns out it really doesn’t cost any money.

It was another idle day. Xuyuan took his brothers and sisters to a shelter near the cave and took turns to look out for the wind. Many of them were left alone and solved their own "big problems". They also looked for wild vegetables and fruits nearby that they could eat.

"Ouch!" Many people were suddenly tripped by a plant, and the small figure fell directly to the ground with a round fruit on the root of the plant.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?" Xu Yuan quickly helped him up, patted the dirt on his body, looked around, and fortunately there was still grass here, and only his knee was slightly scraped.

"Sister, what is this? Can I eat it?" Xu Zhi picked up the thing that tripped her brother. It was as big as her fist.

"Ting, I found a sago fruit. One fruit can be exchanged for one point. Master, do you want to exchange it?"

Xu Yuan saw the fruit in Xu Zhi's hand and nodded, "Xiaoduo, you are really a lucky star. This is sweet potato, also known as yam, and it is edible. We will have food again." He peeled off the outer layer of skin, broke it hard, separated it into two halves, and handed it to Xu Zhi, "Eat it." He walked to the wild sweet potato field, held the vine and pulled hard, and a fat fruit was pulled up. He peeled off the skin and took a bite of the white flesh.

"So sweet." Many people have never eaten such sweet fruit, and it tastes crunchy.

Thanks to Xiaojiu's golden finger, Xuyuan had tried everything edible in his previous life when he was short of food. He would not let go of anything edible. Now he heard that this thing could be exchanged for points. Looking at this piece of yam, he estimated that there were about 20 points, but he certainly could not exchange them all.

After eating quickly, he stood up and started pulling.
