The most respected person in the village is Uncle Chen Jiu. If it weren't for him, Tongshu Village would have been in chaos long ago.

He lost his wife in middle age and his son in old age. He is an elderly man living alone, so of course he has to fetch water by himself.

At this moment, he was pushed to the front by the villagers.

Uncle Chen Jiu stood on a high place, touched his belly filled with water, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, with water, we can survive!

"This water was dug by the Zhao family. We should give them a credit for their contribution!"

The villagers hurriedly said, "Of course we should! If we don't remember their kindness, wouldn't we be cowards and bastards?"

"Yes, yes, that family of three is our savior!"

"If anyone dares to bully them in the future, I, Wang Laowu, will be the first to disapprove!"

Uncle Chen Jiu raised his hand and pressed it down. "There's a water shortage everywhere these days. We can't be sure what time this water will run out. We can't sleep tonight. Let's find some things that can hold water and store more water."

"After such a long time of suffering, I don't need to tell you that it's better to keep the things that can save your life in your own hands.

"So we must guard this place, and no one can tell anyone about it for the time being."

Of course, as time goes by, it is inevitable that it will be discovered by people from other villages, but it is better to keep it for a while!

There was ready-made wood and fodder on the mountain, and soon two sheds were built by the pool for people to rest and sleep.

The other villagers left someone behind to guard the water and took it home.

They quietly brought water jars and other items from the homes of neighbors who had moved away long ago. After all the water-holding containers were filled, every household began to think about watering and growing vegetables in the yard.

An An woke up and found that his energy increased by 0.53, which was unprecedented!

Currently known channels for increasing energy include the love from the three members of the Zhao family and sleep. Where does this 0.5 come from?

Oh, never mind, it’s a good thing anyway! Energy, energy, lots of energy!

Within three days, the vegetables in the villagers' yards began to sprout. Those tender green little things carried everyone's hope of survival!

Everyone is more grateful to the Zhao family.

An An gained another 0.5 energy. Case solved! It turns out the collective gratitude of the entire village brought her such a huge benefit! Because no one outside the Zhao family could provide her with affection energy.

If you had told her earlier, she would have definitely accumulated great merits!

So An An used Sky Eye to scan the entire Tongshu Village and found something in the hidden cellar of the village head's house.

Then, she asked Qin Ying to take her out to play, and spent 0.002 energy to collapse the cellar.

Two bags of wheat, a bag of millet, a bag of soybeans, a bag of corn, and two bags of potatoes were revealed, each weighing no less than 100 kilograms.

Qin Ying was delighted and ran to tell Uncle Chen Jiu. Uncle Chen Jiu weighed the food and distributed it to the people. "Now is the farming season, so we only need to keep a little bit of food.

"Plant millet, soybeans, and corn, harvest them in the fall, then plant wheat. When the spring comes, plant potatoes. You won't starve to death this winter, nor in the future.

"But we still have to tighten our belts before the autumn harvest.

"We borrowed the seeds from the Feng family. I'm an old man and can't eat much. I'll pay the bulk back."

The villagers said one after another, "How can we let you suffer a loss? Everyone can just give out as much as they got, and add a little as interest, that's all."

Uncle Chen Jiu gave another stern warning: "Before harvesting the grain, no matter how hungry you are, don't have any evil thoughts!

"Let's concentrate on cultivating the most fertile fields in the village. That way, we can have people patrolling the fields twelve hours a day. After the harvest, we'll divide the harvest among the people!"

Farming work is in full swing.

Once water was carried from Tongshu Village and soaked the land, the fact that there was a water source could no longer be concealed.

However, after a few days of rest, they naturally had more strength than the people from other villages who had been thirsty for who knows how long, so the control of the water source was still firmly in their hands.

However, they don't stop others from fetching water.

After all, human nature at this time can no longer withstand the slightest test. If someone uses a shady trick or poisons you, you will have no place to cry.

So more and more people from other villages come to fetch water.

At first, the villagers of Tongshutun were worried that the water source would dry up, but as time went on, they found that no matter how they took water, the pool always remained full, so they felt relieved.

Under Uncle Chen Jiu's arrangement, a larger and deeper pool was dug under the original water pool, which was also filled to avoid congestion in water intake.

As soon as the crops sprouted, the weeds and vegetables in the fields also grew out. As long as they were not poisonous, the villagers pulled them out and ate them.

The food hidden in the villages around Tongshutun was soon exposed by An An through Zhao Hu or Aunt Zhao. If she really didn't have any, she would just "create some out of nothing". Anyway, the energy spent could be made up quickly.

With water to drink and fields to farm, cannibalism has disappeared in several surrounding villages.

An An's energy value increased by 1, and now her energy value has exceeded 5!

It seems that breaking through 10 is just around the corner! As long as she passes this hurdle, she can unlock the treasure hunt function!

In order to break through, she came up with an idea...

After the vegetables in the yard were edible, Qin Ying proposed to go up the mountain again, "Our master can eat only vegetables, but An An can't!"

Aunt Zhao thought it made sense, so she simply pulled Zhao Hu up the mountain with her.

I first went to the pool to replenish my water and chatted with the person guarding the water source.

This was Qin Ying's idea, to remind the villagers from time to time that they should not forget the people who dug the well when drinking water. This also provided a layer of protection for their families.

Then the mother and her two children took An An deeper into the mountains.

There are basically no people on the road, as they are all protecting the farmland and vegetable fields as if they were their own eyes.

After walking for almost an hour and a half, they came to a valley ahead with no path. If it were a time of lush vegetation, they would have dared not move forward an hour ago.

"Take a break," Aunt Zhao took out a sickle from the basket behind her back, cut the dead grass, and cleared a clean area of the ground. "Drink some water and change An An's diaper."

After the thick hay was laid, Qin Ying untied An An and unfolded the swaddling clothes. She said in surprise, "Auntie, she didn't pee!"

Aunt Zhao narrowed her eyes in a smile. "An Bao'er is here to repay a favor! She's so sensible! Hurry up and take it!"

Zhao Hu had already gone to collect firewood in preparation for lunch.

An An obediently solved her personal problem. Humph, she had been holding it in. If she couldn't even hold her urine, wouldn't she become a laughing stock in the world?

Having been carefully taken care of these days, especially by Qin Ying, who, although still a young girl, was meticulous and scrubbed her every day, leaving no dead corners, An An clearly felt that she was white, clean, fragrant and soft.

The total time she was awake every day was less than two hours.

When they are awake, they will calculate the time to give the three people a bonus. The vegetables grown by the Zhao family obviously have a higher germination rate and stronger seedlings than those grown by other families.

While the three of them were busy, they activated Tianyancha. After the energy reached 5 and expected to reach 6, Tianyancha's permissions were relaxed a bit, and it could call up a topographic map within a three-mile radius.

She quickly locked onto a spot, immediately gave the three of them a Koi bonus, and then put her plan into action...
