The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

When they stepped out of the cage's barrier, the sky was already bright and clear, but the entire city was filled with a dead silence...

Looking down from a high place, the people slumped on the ground were staggering and huddled together, their eyes empty, as if they had lost all hope in life, like the walking dead.

The brothers Zuo Yun and Zuo Nian comforted the refugees again. Their bodies seemed to have been disassembled and reassembled, and they sat back to back on the city wall, exhausted.

The lips became cracked and flaky due to dryness, and even showed signs of dehydration.

Those who come here cherish the precious water very much and will only reluctantly drink a few sips when they are extremely thirsty.

"Where on earth did this elusive Miss Hua go? When I woke up one morning, not only was she gone, but even the water had vanished without a trace..."

Zuo Yun opened his mouth wide, tilted his head back to catch the few remaining drops of water in the water bag, swallowed them hastily, and couldn't help complaining.

However, after hearing this, Zuo Nian subconsciously questioned it and made a few excuses for Hua Ye.

"Brother, do you suspect she stole the water? She would never do such a thing, and she doesn't have such great power. Besides, she prayed for rain for the people, so there's no need to take it back!"

"When did I doubt her? I was just lamenting that she had been gone for almost a day and a night and hadn't come back yet!"

Zuo Yun got up as he spoke, dusted himself off, and continued, "We still need to find some water to see if there are any fish in the city that have escaped the net and haven't been drained dry..."

While talking to himself, he led the garrison troops in the city out of the city gate in an orderly manner.

These soldiers were well-trained and moved quickly and neatly, as if they were already accustomed to such operations.

Walking in the front are the vanguard soldiers who are very familiar with the streets and surroundings. They are responsible for leading the way and exploring the road for the subsequent troops.

"Hurry up! There's no one around this dry well. Fill it up quickly..."

Hua Ye stood aside with his hands on his hips, giving orders loudly. The dry well was located in a deserted courtyard.

There are weeds growing all around here, and the yellow weeds are even taller than Hua Ye. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find someone hiding here.

The stone bricks and waste loess have cracked, making the entire courtyard look even more miserable and desolate, as if it had been forgotten by time.

Xu Fu poured water into the well with a reluctant look on his face. He quietly hid his right hand in his wide sleeves, and a steady stream of water poured out from his right wrist.

Not long after, the well that had been dry for a long time was filled with water. The water was even about to overflow from the wellhead. Only then did he stop pouring water.

The water looked a bit turbid and yellow, and was not suitable for drinking directly. It would probably take some time for it to settle before you could barely drink a few sips.

"Very good, Fifth Prince!"

After he filled the water, Hua Ye quickly walked to the side and clapped his hands vigorously without hesitation, making several crisp and loud applause sounds in succession. With a very sincere and moving smile on his face, he praised Xu Fu highly.

This eloquent praise made Xu Fu feel very happy, and he couldn't help but smile to himself.

"I didn't expect that you can release water faster than you absorb it. It really opened my eyes. It's amazing!"

Hearing Hua Ye praising him like this, Xu Fu, who was already overjoyed, became even more complacent. He looked at Xu Zhi provocatively and spoke to him through voice transmission:

"Brother, look at my sister-in-law, she is praising me!"

"This shows that you have done a good job. Now you can finally make her treat you better!"

"That's right, it proves that she can still distinguish between public and private matters!"

"Be careful not to offend your future sister-in-law..."

"Could it be that she still has the skill of turning her back on someone and not recognizing them?"

.........

Hua Ye stood between the two of them with his hands on his hips, and asked jokingly, "Brother, are you two treating me like I don't exist? Two grown men have been staring at each other for almost a quarter of an hour. Is it because the lover sees beauty in the eyes of the beholder?"

"Ye'er! I am not a homosexual, so don't talk nonsense!" Xu Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms.

Xu Fu, who was standing by, got goosebumps all over his body and shivered as he crossed his arms: "Why does this look a bit creepy? Oh my god..."

"Fifth brother, hurry up! Don't dilly-dally! Fill up all the wells in this city!"

Xu Zhi's tone of voice was steady, yet it gave people an irresistible sense of oppression. Frightened, Xu Fu teleported to another well in the city and began to drain water...
