Before Gongxi Leqing decided who to send, several young people stood up and said, "Miss Lu, I'll go cut the bamboo."

"I'm going too. How much bamboo do you want to cut, Miss Lu?"

"You can go together and cut a dozen or so. Be sure not to break them, as they are used to collect water."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lu Zhitao gave them some careful instructions.

"Miss Lu, where do you get water?" Gongxi Leqing thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Poke a hole through the bamboo joints, tie them together, put them into the well, and then suck hard to draw up the water."

"I once heard my father say that bamboo can be used to draw water down from high places, but I never thought it could also be used to draw water up from low places."

Gongxi Leqing was very surprised. This Miss Lu was really bold, but he also felt that what she said made sense.

"Is it true that water can be pumped out of a well using bamboo?" a young man asked in disbelief.

"You'll know if you try it." Lu Zhitao only knew about water pumps, and that they could use a hose to draw water from a well.

Although there is no water pump here, she has special powers!

"Miss Lu said it's okay, so it must be okay. Hurry up and turn the soil and plant potatoes." Brother Ning shouted.

"Yes, let's go and plant potatoes. They are delicious and filling."

"Miss Lu, do you know how long it takes for potatoes to mature?" Gong Xileshan asked Lu Zhitao eagerly.

"Normally it takes about a hundred days for the fruit to mature, but the water in our well is a bit magical. Maybe we can harvest it every ten days."

Lu Zhitao didn't dare say that she could ripen two rounds in half an hour, for fear of scaring the villagers.

Moreover, the potato planting season is not right now. In the north, potatoes are generally planted from mid-to-late April to early May and harvested in autumn.

When she used her special powers to accelerate the growth of radishes and cabbages, Song Zhuxin, the time-traveling girl, had not yet arrived, so she openly accelerated the growth of radishes when she wanted to eat them.

She really didn't expect that the Huo family would come into the village so soon. When Song Zhuxin saw the rapidly growing radishes, she might think that there were people with superpowers here.

But Lu Zhitao was not worried at all, because Song Zhuxin would never have thought that the person with superpowers was Lu Zhitao.

After all, when she traveled through time, she had bullied the original owner.

Lu Zhitao will not use her supernatural powers easily, but that doesn't mean she won't use them. She has to give the time-traveling girl a scare occasionally.

The villagers who were plowing the soil and planting potatoes looked at the green radishes and cabbages, and recalled the potatoes they had eaten at noon today.

Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone worked enthusiastically without being urged by others.

Lu Zhitao was instructing them on how to grow potatoes. The women who had rejected her at the beginning now only wanted to curry favor with her.

Xiaoli, Yuanzhen, Yan Baoyue and some other boys around eleven or twelve years old were cutting potatoes. The other children handed the potatoes to them to cut.

The Huo family was not satisfied with the wolf meat soup. The more they drank, the more they wanted to eat wolf meat. However, the chef of Mojia Village really listened to Lu Zhitao.

They said they would not give them wolf meat to eat. Huo Xiaoxuan rolled on the ground crying, but they remained indifferent.

Their family was a family of slaves of the Mohist clan. When the Mohist clan was exterminated, they happened to return to their ancestral home to pay homage to their ancestors, so they escaped the disaster.

Later, they learned that there was a sickly exile in the Mo family, so they followed the remaining master without hesitation and naturally listened to Mo Lengzhou's words.

"The child is crying like this, and you ignorant villagers are unwilling to give him some wolf meat to comfort him. You are as vicious as Lu Zhitao."

Song Zhuxin cursed with contempt and could only take out some beef jerky from the space and distribute it to everyone in the Huo family.

The spiritual spring water in her space has dried up, and the space no longer has the function of preserving freshness.

Beef jerky can be stored for a long time, so she didn't want to take it out and share it with the Huo family.

Before, she was determined to send the Huo family to their destination, but now Song Zhuxin's thoughts were a little shaken.

"Uncle Mo, did you give them wolf meat to eat?" Mo Yunfei asked loudly as soon as he came in.

"Don't worry, brother Yun, if the village head's wife says she won't give it to us, then we won't give it to you at all." Uncle Mo, who is in his fifties, said, patting his chest.

"It's good that we didn't give them any food. Everyone in the Huo family, hurry up and follow me to work."

"Work? Why do you ask us to work?" Huo Wanyu asked sharply.

"My sister-in-law said that anyone who doesn't work shouldn't have dinner."

"You don't give us dinner, do you want to starve us to death?" Song Zhuxin was extremely angry.

"We don't want to starve anyone to death. If you don't want to stay here, you can leave!" Mo Yunfei said fearlessly.

"You seem to be very hostile to us, and we haven't offended you." Mrs. Huo asked tentatively.

"You didn't offend me, but Sister Xiaoli said that you are all ungrateful and ungrateful people."

"That thief Xiaoli is slandering us." Song Zhuxin has not been in a good mood since entering Mojia Village.

Either he wanted to get angry or he was already furious, and there was no peace for a moment.

"Haven't you ever been to school?" Mo Yunfei asked with narrowed eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Defamation refers to the act of slandering someone with falsehood, fabricating stories, saying bad things about them, and destroying their reputation. But what Sister Xiaoli said was all true."

"What did she tell you?"

"She said that my sister-in-law took out all the dowry her mother left her and exchanged it for banknotes, and sent food to the Huo family along the way, right?"

"..."

"When they have no silver, you throw them to the wolves, don't you?"

"Who doesn't want to run away when encountering a pack of wolves? If they don't walk by themselves, do they want us to carry them?" Song Zhuxin argued with a serious face.

"Don't try to argue with me. If you want to stay, come and plant potatoes with me. If you don't want to stay, I'll call the elders to send you out."

Mo Yunfei said angrily. He originally thought that Sister Xiaoli would exaggerate a little and tell them.

Now seeing the guilty look on the Huo family's faces, he knew that what Sister Xiaoli said was true, and he must urge these ungrateful people to work.

"Yuan'er, Xin'er, why don't we leave here!" Old Madam Huo said in a negotiating tone.

She had no food or water, and everything depended on Song Zhuxin, so she didn't dare to give any orders.

"Mom, I'm a useless person. I have to listen to you and Xin'er in everything." Huo Ziyuan didn't know how to choose.

They should leave here. After all, there is food and spiritual spring water in Xin'er's space, but it is very dangerous for their elderly, weak and sick family to walk outside.

Although the bandits could not steal the food in Xin'er's space, they would cook and eat the weak ones when they saw them because they were extremely hungry.

"Ziyuan, let's stay and make plans." Song Zhuxin looked like she had thought it over carefully.

In fact, she didn't hesitate at all. It had been a drought for three years and it was difficult to find water outside. If she didn't have water on her, she wouldn't dare to go out.

She just didn't want to leave here because there was no water in the space. She was not really afraid of bandits. If she encountered bandits, she could hide in the space.

"Since you have chosen to stay, come with me to work immediately." Mo Yunfei's cold voice interrupted Song Zhuxin's thoughts.
