Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Qin Ying finished feeding An An and placed her aside. "Auntie, you take a break first and look after the baby. Hu Zi and I will go dig."

In less than half an hour, a pool two meters square took shape.

Aunt Zhao urged Qin Ying to rest, but Qin Ying refused and asked Zhao Hu to rest first. After a while, Zhao Hu suggested, "Let's rest together. We can't feel at ease without someone to watch over An An."

An An woke up again and said: Look at how much the energy value has increased, 0.03!

Wow, that's pretty good! The long-term approach to catching big fish is indeed correct! Although the single increase isn't much, the frequency is quite high! It's just around the corner to make up for it.

The three of them were already hungry and had already exhausted themselves. If it weren't for the koi bonus given by An An, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long, let alone be so efficient.

Aunt Zhao ordered: "Peel some pine nuts and hazelnuts and let's cook something.

"I'll fetch a bucket of water and let it settle."

Looking at the turbid mud in the bucket, Zhao Hu frowned, "When will this be cleared up?"

Qin Ying thought for a moment, took off her coat, covered the empty bucket with it, and fixed it with her hands, "Hu Zi, turn it over slowly."

"Sister, you are so smart!" Zhao Hu grinned immediately, picked up the bucket and poured it slowly. He stopped after pouring a little and waited for the water to seep through his clothes, removed the mud, and then continued pouring.

It took the brother and sister half an hour to filter out a bucket of mud, and Qin Ying's coat was no longer presentable.

Zhao Hu took the coat he had taken off long ago and said, "Sister, let's do it again!"

An An fell asleep automatically out of boredom. She discovered that sleeping could also increase her energy level, albeit a little less, capped at 0.01 per day, but it was better than nothing.

Qin Ying settled her daughter down and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get your aunt to come over." Aunt Zhao had already gone to dig the pond again.

When I learned that they had come up with such a good way to filter water, I was so happy that I couldn't stop smiling.

After filtering three times, half a bucket of water became much clearer. After adding some wood ash, it was set aside and the three of them continued to dig a pool.

By sunset, the pool had been dug to be three meters square and more than ten meters deep.

The muddy water gushing out of the well was not far from the wellhead.

It also seems to no longer be as thick as before.

The three of them dug through the pool and the well, and returned to An An exhausted.

The water in the bucket had become clear, and the three of them didn't care about anything else and drank a bowl each.

After drinking it, I couldn’t help but smack my lips and savor it: It’s so sweet!

There were quite a few peeled chestnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc. The three of them picked up a bowl of them very luxuriously, crushed them and put them into the pot, poured a whole pot of water and started to boil.

All the ashes from the burnt wood were thrown into the well, and some dead wood was specially prepared to be burned into charcoal and thrown into the pool, which had a certain effect on purifying the water.

As soon as I relaxed my mind, I felt extremely tired and yawned continuously.

The three of them put their shovels and pickaxes at hand and slept for half the night leaning against each other.

Aunt Zhao was the first to wake up. She pounded her aching arms and legs and said, "I'll take advantage of the night and fetch two buckets of water back to slowly clear it.

"We are orphans and widows, so we should save as much as we can."

They never thought of monopolizing this water source. How could they protect it with just the three of them?

The reason for digging such a large pool is, firstly, to clarify the muddy water as soon as possible, and secondly, to ensure that after others come, they can still get water from the gaps.

Qin Ying said first: "Aunt, let me go." All along, the Zhao family's mother and son had undertaken most of the work on the pretext of asking her to take care of An An, and they were exhausted.

"That won't do!" Aunt Zhao frowned. "Of the three of us, I'm the safest, followed by Hu Zi. I'll go first, then let Hu Zi go the next. You stay here!"

Qin Ying bit her lip, knowing that what she said was true, so she stopped arguing and just filled her water bag with water. "Now that we have water, don't be reluctant to drink it, auntie."

Aunt Zhao smiled and agreed, picked up a load of water and left. Half a night later, the water was no longer so turbid.

Qin Ying forced Zhao Hu to continue resting while she watched the fire.

By the time Aunt Zhao returned, the porridge had thickened to a crisp. Each of the three of them received a small bowl, and An An, who had just woken up, also enjoyed the sweet, thick soup. Energy value increased by another 0.03.

The Koi's bonus hadn't expired yet, so she didn't need to attack again. Triple superposition was equivalent to a tenfold acceleration, which was already outrageous enough!

When Zhao Hu came back carrying the empty buckets, it was already dawn. This time he also brought the two buckets from the Guo family.

Fortunately, there were not many people left in the village, and they were starving anyway, so they chose to sleep more. When they were asleep, they didn't feel hungry, so they didn't alarm others.

The water in the well appeared somewhat transparent, gurgling into the pool and already covering the bottom of the pool.

Zhao Hu said distressedly, "It would be even better if it didn't seep into the ground..."

"Silly boy," Aunt Zhao patted his head, "you're just talking nonsense!"

The family of three took a short rest and carried two loads of water and one load of firewood back home.

The two buckets of water have become clear and bright.

Fortunately, the Zhao and Guo families had two large water vats together. The muddy water that had been brought back earlier was clarified and poured into the clean water vats. Then the mud at the bottom of the vats was poured into the yard, washed clean, and filled with water again.

He also took the opportunity to turn over a small piece of land in the yard, mixed it with mud, and sprinkled vegetable seeds on it.

Aunt Zhao drank a bucket of water happily, raised her sleeve to wipe her mouth, and told Qin Ying and Zhao Hu: "You two take turns to sleep, I will take the villagers to fetch water."

Qin Ying wanted to persuade her to take a nap before going, but Aunt Zhao said, "No way! What if someone else takes the credit while you're asleep?

"Although that place is quite remote, but we always have to be prepared for the worst."

Zhao Hu rushed to go, but was held back by Aunt Zhao.

After all this trouble, it was almost noon and the villagers had all woken up. When they heard Aunt Zhao say that she had found a water source, they didn't believe it at first until she showed them half a bucket of clean water.

The whole village immediately became excited. Everyone brought all the water containers they could use at home and urged Aunt Zhao to fetch water.

Aunt Zhao explained: "Yingzi and Huzi went up the mountain to look for food and found a clump of green grass. They tried to dig it and unexpectedly they found water!

"Isn't that why I'm here to greet everyone?"

When they arrived at the place and saw the pool of water shimmering in the setting sun, the villagers couldn't help but rush forward and throw themselves beside the pool, scooping water with their hands or simply putting their mouths to the water surface and drinking it up with gulps.

In a moment, everyone had drunk their fill of water, and then some people lay on their backs and cried loudly, while others knelt down and thanked the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

It took a full half hour for everyone to calm down and start fetching water in silence.

After filling up all the bottles, the water level in the pool didn't drop, so I finally felt relieved and no longer in a hurry to deliver the water home.

The former head of Tongshutun Village took his family to live with relatives in other places at the beginning of the drought.

Afterwards, the villagers who were able to leave left their hometown one after another.

The rest of the people either have no reliable relatives or are too old to leave their hometown.
