Qin Ying found another squirrel's nest on a crooked tree. The squirrel had left, so she searched the area and found seven or eight kilograms of dried fruits.

Zhao Hu said excitedly: "An An is really our lucky star!"

When they went up the mountain before, they didn’t have such good luck, otherwise they wouldn’t have almost starved to death.

Energy value +0.02. An An blinked her big, dark eyes: Hey, you have good taste! Biu~ I'll give you a Koi bonus!

Of course, this is far from enough. Even double luck can only ensure that they will not starve to death immediately.

And now everyone is starving to death, but they are the only family still alive. Don’t others feel jealous?

If these three people sent it, where would I get the energy from?

So we should also let others see the hope of life.

What can I do now?

After weighing the pros and cons, An An reluctantly allocated 1 energy point, stretched out his energy forward, and fell asleep with his head tilted.

Seeing that it was getting late, the brother and sister carried firewood and life-saving food on their backs and prepared to go down the mountain.

Because I felt relaxed, my steps seemed much lighter.

Zhao Hu continued, "Before the drought, we wouldn't have dared come here! We'd have been devoured by wolves or beasts!"

"Yeah," Qin Ying looked at the desolate mountains and sighed, "It's too difficult to get a stutter..."

I heard that the two thieves were taken away by their accomplices yesterday, claiming that they were going to roast and eat them. They are certainly guilty, but cannibalism is even more inhumane!

Suddenly, her eyes fixed, and she stopped walking, rubbed her eyes, and reached out to pull Zhao Hu, "Huzi, are you dazzled? Look, what is that green thing?"

Zhao Hu looked in the direction of her finger, his eyes instantly flashing with great surprise. He grabbed Qin Ying's arm and jumped a few times on the spot. His voice, hoarse from thirst, broke into two parts. "Grass! Green grass! That's green grass, sister! Water! There must be water there!"

As he said this, he threw away the firewood on his shoulders and rushed over there. Because he was too excited, he fell halfway, but he didn't feel any pain. He got up and continued running.

When he got to the place, he knelt on the ground and started digging the soil with his hands regardless of anything.

Qin Ying picked up the firewood and walked quickly towards Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu dug a small hole in the ground, piled up a small pile of moist soil, put his face on the soil, and let out a comfortable sigh.

Qin Ying handed him the hammer and picked up the small shovel herself.

Zhao Hu pulled out a handful of grass, shook off the dirt at the roots, and gave more than half to Qin Ying. The two of them stuffed the grass into their mouths while digging the soil.

An An woke up, her brows furrowed slightly. How could these two idiots eat grass? In her understanding, only herbivores would eat grass. Besides, their efficiency was too low!

Qin Ying came back to her senses from her surprise and said hurriedly, "Huzi, you're fast, go home quickly and call your aunt, and bring the shovel and pickaxe together."

Then she stuffed a handful of cleaned grass into his arms and said, "Give it to Auntie!"

Zhao Hu nodded repeatedly, stood up, picked up the firewood and ran away.

Qin Ying was not idle either. She continued to dig the soil. As the soil she dug became moister, she became more and more excited. Maybe there was a spring here!

An An sent another Koi bonus towards Qin Ying.

Huh? Can't add it? Can't add it because the time limit hasn't expired? Forget it, go to sleep, go to sleep!

After losing 1 energy point, she really couldn't muster up any energy at all!

In a blink of an hour, an hour and a half passed, and Qin Ying had dug a pit three feet square and four feet deep on the ground.

Zhao Hu ran all the way back, carrying two shovels and a pair of baskets for carrying soil on his shoulders. He stopped, pulled Qin Ying up, swallowed his saliva to moisten his smoking throat, and said, "Sister, I'll do it!" If he hadn't been waiting for his mother to come home, he would have come back long ago!

Qin Ying felt extremely distressed and quickly took out the water bag, "Moisten it quickly!"

Zhao Hu just drank a sip of water, wiped the sweat off his face, and then went to work.

Aunt Zhao came closer, carrying a pair of wooden buckets and a shovel. Seeing the pit in front of her, she was surprised and delighted. "Oh my God! We can finally survive this time!"

Zhao Hu put the excavated soil into a basket, and Aunt Zhao carried it to a nearby place and dumped it out. She then used a shovel to flatten and solidify the dug well wall.

Qin Ying was worried about An An, so she took her off her back.

Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, "There's a small pot in the bucket. Yingzi, make some soup for An An first. It's okay if the adults don't want to eat. Such a small child should have been hungry a long time ago. It's only our An Baoer who is so obedient that he didn't even cry."

Ding, energy value +0.01.

An An's eyelids moved, but she couldn't wake up.

Qin Ying suppressed her sadness and started to build the stove.

Fortunately, there was firewood available. After piling it up, they took some of the dried fruits they had dug up earlier, crushed them on stones, threw them into the pot, poured in the water brought by Aunt Zhao, and started to cook.

As the aroma of food wafted away, the three adults' stomachs rumbled at the same time.

Aunt Zhao came out in a hurry and only brought a pot and a set of bowls and spoons.

After it was cooked, Qin Ying scooped out a small half bowl of thin soup for herself, then scooped out a small half bowl of slightly thicker soup and called Zhao Hu to come and eat.

Zhao Hu's lips were already cracked and his throat was dry and sore. He immediately dropped the shovel in his hand when he heard the call.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly said, "I'll go first!"

Over time, the three of them formed a tacit understanding that the person who ate first would get the pure thin soup, and the last person to eat would get the thickest soup, although the difference was not obvious.

But everyone will give the best to each other.

Therefore, we take turns cooking, and the one who cooks eats first.

An An realized this and thought: This family really is... eh? Their energy level suddenly increased by 0.05!

Aunt Zhao also deserves the koi bonus, biu~ go!

This time it’s a triple overlap, roooo, just wait and see how you laugh!

Aunt Zhao was not as agile as Zhao Hu. By the time she climbed to the ground, Zhao Hu had already drunk the thin soup in the bowl.

Qin Ying fed An An the little bit of thick soup she had, and said to Aunt Zhao, "Aunt, take a break and catch your breath. I'll go change Hu Zi after I finish feeding An An."

Aunt Zhao was indeed tired. She fanned her face with her hands, a smile that could not be concealed on her face. "Yingzi, you can build a fire later. We won't go back home tonight. It's not as safe as here..."

The next afternoon, the well had been dug to a depth of nearly ten feet. Aunt Zhao had just finished pouring the soil and dozed off when she heard Zhao Hu shout in surprise and joy, "Mom! Sister! Water is coming out! Water is coming out!"

An An blinked. The koi bonus cumulative effect of these three people is so good?

The mother and daughter ran over immediately.

Sure enough, water was bubbling up from the bottom of the well.

Aunt Zhao quickly called out to Zhao Hu: "Come up quickly! You silly boy!"

What just gushed out was just mud, which you can only look at but not drink.

They left a slope on the wall of the pit for leverage, so Zhao Hu climbed up when the mud was almost above his ankles.

Sitting on the edge of the well, with his legs hanging down, feeling the slight coolness coming from below, he said happily: "Mom, sister, when do you think this water will become clear?"

"As long as there's water, who's worried it can't be clarified?" Aunt Zhao said cheerfully, "But we still need to dig a pond nearby."
