Zhou Yu was also a little curious. How would the Zhao family lead him to that place?

He also didn't expect that the Zhao family was quite patient and did not come forward on their own initiative.

It was only after I suggested going to find water that they sent Zhao Hu out.

Zhao Hu touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Master Zhou, my mother said that the wind is strong in the mountains and An An is too young. There is a lack of medical care and medicine nowadays. If she catches a cold, it will be troublesome. So they won't go with us this time.

"I'm strong, fast, and I'm familiar with the mountain roads. There's no village or hilltop near here that I haven't run on!"

Zhou Yu smiled and patted his head, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

This time Zhang Jinzhi also went along, and he brought a topographical map of the surrounding area, which he had drawn when he was visiting the area on behalf of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu gave him an appreciative look.

Zhang Jinzhi smiled modestly and said, "My abilities are limited. Apart from these few villages, I haven't climbed any of the surrounding mountains. These clues are all provided by the villagers, so they are not accurate."

"As long as we have a general understanding, everything will be fine," Zhou Yu nodded. "As long as we're not blind men touching an elephant, everything will be fine."

Zhao Hu naturally couldn't understand the map, so Zhang Jinzhi gave him a brief introduction. Zhao Hu suddenly understood, "Oh, this is just like flying in the sky and seeing what our area looks like?"

Everyone laughed.

Zhou Yu said gently, "That's not a bad understanding."

Zhao Hu scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently, thinking that he must ask his sister if she knew how to read a map when he got back. Mr. Zhang's speech was so vague that he could not understand it at all.

The group quickly left Tongshutun.

Under Zhou Yu's intentional or unintentional guidance, they took many detours and only reached the mountain behind Huaihuagou on the third day.

But we have been taking detours.

Zhao Hu was a little anxious, his eyes flickering. If they could find the place earlier and dig out the water earlier, not only would it be more convenient for the villagers in this area to use water, but the pressure on Tongshu Village would also be less.

Moreover, the weather is getting colder day by day. Now the frost is not deep enough, so we can dig. But in a few days, the permafrost will be deeper, and digging a well will be more difficult, right?

Zhou Yu saw this and felt quite relieved. This child really had a sincere heart.

But after all, he is young and can’t hide things, so everything is written on his face.

Therefore, he couldn't help but remind her, "Huzi, don't worry. The ancients said, 'Sincerity is the key to success.' I think we'll find something soon."

Zhao Hu touched his head and chuckled, but he disagreed in his heart. That place was very remote.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu quickly led people to the place they had found before and discovered the green area.

Everyone cheered and stepped forward, swinging their hoes to dig in the center without waiting for Zhou Yu's instructions, digging up the frozen soil on the surface, and then using shovels.

Zhou Yu said, "Why don't we dig a well this time? Let's just dig a pond. If water does come out, we can mobilize people to dig a canal."

Everyone agreed and assigned some people to move stones to prepare to build the pond. Half of the remaining people continued to dig, and the other half began to set up the pestle.

Zhao Hu was young and was not allowed to do hard labor, so he helped collect firewood and worked as a cook.

Since Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying didn't come, Aunt Zhong didn't come either, and the cook was replaced by the frail Zhang Jinzhi.

But Zhang Jinzhi had never done such a thing. He used to believe that "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen."

He was not as efficient as Zhao Hu, so Zhao Hu soon became the chef.

In fact, Zhao Hu’s cooking skills are just so-so, but fortunately these people are not picky eaters and are satisfied as long as they can eat hot cooked food.

In this way, three days passed and the water finally came out. The upper part of the pool had been compacted and paved with stones, and a water inlet had been set up. The rest of the area was fenced off to prevent drowning.

After the water came out, they threw wood ash into the pool and began to plan the route for digging the canal.

When the villagers from Huaihuagou at the foot of the mountain heard about this, they came looking for it on their own initiative. When they found that water had been dug out, they were so happy that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yu. Then, without waiting for Zhou Yu's reaction, they jumped up and ran down the mountain.

Soon, the whole village of Huaihuagou came to dig the canal spontaneously.

Half a day later, the villagers from Sanlitun, which is adjacent to Huaihuagou, also arrived and dug a canal down the mountain along the planned route.

Right at the junction of the two villages, an expanded pond was dug based on the original dried-up pond.

After An An gained 0.5 energy, she started to make a fuss about going to watch the fun. Since it was not far away, there were quite a few people going to watch. Aunt Zhao and the others mixed in with them and were not at all conspicuous.

Now it is almost the twelfth lunar month, the ground is frozen deep, and if you walk outside, you will see a layer of white frost on your eyebrows and eyelashes.

It is no exaggeration to say that water turns into ice when poured.

But even in such a cold day, the villagers who were digging canals and ponds were wearing thin clothes, and white steam was rising from their heads and bodies because of the sweat from their hard work.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying felt distressed when they saw this.

An An rubbed his little fingers together. "My mother is worried and I am heartbroken! How can I let my mother and grandma worry?"

She used the Koi bonus on the working people, but just like before, 90% of it dissipated, and the remaining 10% also benefited them a lot.

The villagers who came to work all brought their own dry food, but when it was time to rest, Zhou Yu would ask someone to bring them hot water and would never let them drink raw water. He also told them that they should drink boiled water at home to reduce the risk of illness.

The villagers were very moved, and even when they took a break and chatted, they expressed their gratitude to Zhou Yu.

Ding! Energy +1.5.

An An blinked her big eyes, is there a pie falling from the sky?

Suddenly she saw Zhou Yu walking towards them, and an inspiration came to her.

What a wise choice I made back then! By getting close to the handsome uncle, I can continuously extract energy, and it’s a large amount!

Moreover, the handsome uncle did not expose his special features. It is not known whether the headquarters has set up a protection mechanism for him, but according to the surveillance, the handsome uncle is deliberately protecting himself!

Oh wow, good guy!

Such talents are worth entrusting!

When will my cheap dad come back?

From the little bits and pieces of information my grandmother occasionally revealed, it was not a good match! Only when my mother got rid of the garbage could she blossom into beauty!

It would be great if the handsome uncle could take the initiative...

She opened her arms towards Zhou Yu and cried out, "Hold me~"

My mother dressed me too warmly, so it’s really hard for me to move!

But the way she struggled to wave her arms was particularly endearing to others.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but quicken his pace. He walked up to Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying, greeted them, and asked if he could hug An An.

Seeing An An's look of "being in Cao's camp but heart is with Han", Qin Ying had no choice but to hand her over, and at the same time apologized to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Miss Qin, there's no need to be so reserved. I like An An as well."

An An tilted her head to look at him. It had been several days since she had gotten any energy from the handsome uncle.
