Two days later, the cloth covering Li Lan's head had been removed, revealing a red, scabby wound about an inch across his forehead. Even in those days when people couldn't even get enough to eat, Li Lan didn't care.

Today, I brought Li Run, Li He, and Li Jiang to Xishan to collect firewood. In the past two days, Li Lan has been wanting to go into the mountains to take a look, but these three guys are staring at her too closely.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he took the boys and went back home with a bundle of firewood each. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a slender man in coarse gray clothes chopping firewood with his back to the gate.

"It's Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle." Li Run shouted excitedly and ran over with firewood on his back.

Even the shy Li He and Li Jiang ran over happily and shouted around the man in gray coarse cloth.

The man in coarse gray clothes straightened up and ruffled the hair of several children with a smile.

"Fourth Uncle." Li Lan called out.

Hearing the shout, the man in grey and coarse cloth turned around. When he turned around, Li Lan felt like he was going blind.

"Holy crap, holy crap..." Li Lan's heart was already racing. "This is so handsome. Oh my god, this is my fourth uncle."

"Xiao Lan." A gentle voice came.

Li Lan, dazed, looked towards the source of the voice, feeling refreshed. "Graceful and graceful, gentle as jade…" With little education, she was at a loss for words.

"This is a combination of the advantages of my grandparents. I am truly a winner in nature, finding the advantages to grow." Li Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"Four, Fourth Uncle." Li Lan replied with a thick tongue.

Li Chunhua laughed out loud, and seeing the wound on Li Lan's forehead, she asked, "Does the wound on your head still hurt? What's wrong? I haven't seen Fourth Uncle for so long, don't you recognize him?"

The gentle voice sounded again.

"It's okay, Fourth Uncle." Li Lan smiled sheepishly and scratched his head. "Of course not. The memories of my original self are not as exciting as seeing the real person." Li Lan thought to himself.

"Fourth Uncle, is my father back?" Li Lan looked into the room and said.

"Your father has also returned. He went with your grandmother to Doctor Xu's house to deliver the medical fees." Li Chunhua replied.

"Xiao Lan, come to the main hall with your fourth uncle." Li Chunhua said, and walked into the house first. When the boys saw that they had something to say, they all ran out frantically.

As soon as I sat down in the main hall, Li Chunhua's gentle voice rang out.

"I heard everything your grandma said. What are your plans?"

"Oh my God, not only is this person good-looking, but he is also a parent who is so willing to listen to his children's ideas. Wow, this is incredible." Li Lan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then he said, "Fourth Uncle, here's what I'm thinking: let's take the things the immortal gave us and go look for a water source. After we find it, you'll tell the village chief, and then he'll mobilize all the villagers. Do you think this is feasible?"

"It's feasible. But I want to talk to the village chief before looking for water. As for the thing that your immortal gave me, I will say that I rescued a businessman who was robbed on his way home and was almost starving to death in this town. To thank me, he gave me the rare things he bought from foreign merchants at the border." Li Chunhua said lightly.

Li Lan gave a thumbs up in his heart. As expected of someone who was about to take the imperial examination, his logic was perfect. This way, even if someone outside discovered it, there would be no way to investigate.

"No problem, Fourth Uncle. Let's follow your idea." Li Lan said happily.

Li Chunhua looked at the sky and said, "Okay. I'm going to the village chief's house now. You come with me."

As he said that, he took Li Lan to the village chief's house.

The village chief's house, a few yellow mud huts, is located in the heart of the village. His name is Li Hongwu, and he is married to Qiu Taohua. They have three sons and one daughter, all of whom are married and have children.

"Aunt Qiu, is my village chief uncle at home?" Li Chunhua said to the woman who was pouring water into the jar in the yard after walking outside the village chief's house.

The woman turned around upon hearing the voice and said in surprise, "Oh, it's Hua Xiaozi. You're back from town? This is Lan girl. Are you feeling better now?"

"Okay, okay, Grandma Qiu. Thank you for thinking of me." Li Lan said to Grandma Qiu with a smile.

"That's good. Come in quickly. The old man is at home." After saying that, he put down the wooden barrel in his hand and shouted into the house: "Old man, come out quickly. Hua Xiaozi is here to see you."

After a while, a man in his 50s wearing a black coarse cloth short shirt and trousers came out.

The voice was loud and clear: "Hua Xiaozi, when did you come back from the town? What's the matter with you coming here? Oh, is Lan girl okay?"

"Yes, there are some things, Uncle Village Chief."

"Yes, village chief."

"Let's go inside and talk." Then he took Li Chunhua and Li Lan into the inner room.

After everyone sat down, Li Chunhua said, "Uncle Village Chief, some time ago I saved a merchant in town who was nearly starving to death after being robbed. He gave me a rare item he had bought from a foreign merchant while trading on the border as a way to repay me for saving his life."

"Oh, is that thing very useful?" After hearing what Li Chunhua said, the village chief rolled his eyes and asked immediately.

"Tsk tsk, the village chief in this day and age cannot be underestimated. Fourth uncle briefly explained that the village chief can react so quickly, it's really amazing. No wonder he is so prestigious in the village." Li Lan couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, Uncle Village Chief. I looked at the instruction manual in the thing he gave me, and it turned out to be something that can find water sources." Li Chunhua said to the village chief with a smile.

"What?" The village chief stood up excitedly. "Are you serious, Hua Xiaozi?"

"I'm not sure yet. We have to find the water source and dig together to find out." Li Chunhua said slowly.

"Oh oh oh." The village chief calmed down and sat down.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's okay. You guys go find the location first. When you find it, I'll tell the villagers."

Li Lan thought to himself, "It works."

"Okay, Uncle Village Chief, tomorrow I will take my elder brother and younger brother to find the location of the water source." Li Chunhua said, then stood up and said goodbye to the village chief.

When they got home, everyone was there. They all went to the main hall together. After Zhang came in, she closed the door behind her.

"Fourth Uncle, this is the water source detector. Take a look first. There is an instruction manual inside." Li Lan said as he placed the black and orange suitcases on the table and opened the black suitcase.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but touch this novel thing.

"This is the thing that can find water sources." Everyone exclaimed.

"Okay, since you've all seen it, I'll tell you this. The thing for finding water sources was given to him by the fourth brother after he saved a businessman. The businessman was grateful for his life-saving grace, so he gave it to him. As for outsiders asking how to tell others, you have your fourth brother and uncle, so you should say whatever they say. If anyone acts on his own initiative and talks nonsense outside and causes trouble, don't blame me for abandoning him." At this time, Old Lady Wang said viciously with full energy.

"Mom is right. If we say something wrong, our whole family will suffer." Li Chunhua also said seriously.

Seeing how serious the old lady and the fourth brother/uncle were, everyone hurriedly said, "We can't do that, mother." "We can't do that, milk either."

Li Lan looked at her grandmother's expression. Although it was fierce, her heart felt full and warm. Li Chunping and Zhang looked at their daughter, each holding her hand tightly.
