Because she was afraid that her family would worry, Shen Wanning walked much faster this time than when she came here.

Fortunately, she caught up with lunch time. As soon as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Aunt Zhang and her family about to go out.

"Hey kid, why didn't you come home at dinner time? We were so worried. We were just about to go out and look for you!"

Shen Wanning stepped forward and hugged Aunt Zhang. "I'm sorry for making you worry. I accidentally walked a little far away and lost track of time."

Aunt Zhang patted her on the back and said, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as you're safe, please sit down and eat!"

As soon as they sat down around the table, they heard Mrs. Qin rushing in with her grandson Huzi in her arms. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she knelt down in front of them.

"Old Lin family, my Hu Zi is so thirsty. Please, can you give him a drink of water? I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you."

Mrs. Qin kowtowed as she spoke, which made people feel sorry for her.

Aunt Zhang hurried over to help her up. "What are you doing? Come on, it's just a sip of water." Then she looked at Xu and said, "Xu, go get me a bowl of water."

Mrs. Qin stood up, and Shen Wanning saw that her lips were dry and flaky. Her son Hu Zi was a little better, but he kept shouting "Water, water."

"I know it's not easy for everyone right now, but I, an old woman, really have no choice! Seeing my son Hu Zi like this, I feel so heartbroken!" Grandma Qin cried.

Shen Wanning called out to Xu in the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, bring out two bowls of water."

Xu paused, her face looking a little unhappy, but she still listened to Shen Wanning and brought out two bowls of water.

Grandma Qin quickly took the water and poured it into Hu Zi's mouth. Hu Zi drank the water in big gulps, his eyes still fixed on the other bowl.

Shen Wanning took the water and handed it to Granny Qin, "This bowl is for you. You haven't had water in a long time!"

Granny Qin looked at Hu Zi staring at the water in his hand, hesitating, and finally gave the water back to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi pushed the water into her mouth, "Grandma, drink some water. Hu Zi is not thirsty. Grandma, drink quickly."

Looking at the expressions of the two children and grandchildren, Shen Wanning smiled and said, "It's okay, Grandma Qin, you can drink. If it's not enough, I have more at home."

Xu glared at her and muttered softly, "There's only one bucket of water left at home, how can there be extra water?"

Granny Qin was a little embarrassed when she heard the murmurs, not knowing whether she should drink the water in her hand or not. In the end, she endured it and handed the water back.

"I'm not thirsty, leave it for you to drink!"

Shen Wanning pushed her back again, "I'm telling the truth. I still have some water at home. Come drink it! If it's not enough, there's more."

In the end, Grandma Qin finished drinking the bowl of water, thanked repeatedly and left.

Xu took the bowl back to the kitchen and complained when she came back, "Sister Wan Ning, you are too generous. We don't know how long this water will last. You are so generous to give it to them. What will we do in the future?"

While eating, Shen Wanning whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Listen to me, I found a water source! It's a mountain spring, about five kilometers away from our Daqing Village."

When everyone heard this, they looked at Shen Wanning in surprise.

Lin Jingcheng asked first, "We've lived in Daqing Village for so long and haven't found a spring. How did you find it, Miss Wan Ning? And why didn't you tell Granny Qin about this just now?"

Shen Wanning looked at the wild boar and three bullets that appeared in the grid on the wall of the express station. She knew that the doctor must have sent the wild boar back to her.

She quickly used her consciousness to express her gratitude online, then clicked on the wild boar to take a look. Aside from the three wounds she had hit, everything else was the same as before.

Shen Wanning thought for a moment and whispered, "Yesterday and today I went out to look for water. The soil where I dug up ginseng last time was moister than outside, so I guess there's a water source nearby.

Sure enough, not long after walking today, I saw a small stream. Following the stream, I found a mountain spring.

And there was another thing. I saw two wild boars fighting over a sow by the stream. One of the boars was seriously injured by the other. When the two wild boars left, I went up and hit them a few times, killing them.

When Shen Wanning mentioned wild boars, Aunt Zhang's face changed. "Oh my goodness, you walked so far and encountered three wild boars? God bless you, God bless you! Fortunately, nothing happened to you, otherwise, how could I live like this!"

Lin Dashan also looked at Shen Wanning a few more times, "This girl is really lucky. Not only did she return home safely after encountering a wild boar, but she also managed to pick up some goodies."

Shen Wanning chuckled, "If I wasn't so lucky, how could I have been saved by my second brother and have such a good family!"

Xu was a little anxious, "What about the wild boar?"

Shen Wanning continued, "I couldn't lift it by myself, so I had to drag the wild boar to a secluded place and hide it. I came back to tell my eldest and second brothers if they could come with me to the mountains after dinner. We'll bring the wild boar back first, and then go tell the village head about the water problem."

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Wan Ning was lucky to have come back safely from her encounter with the wild boar this time. If you encounter a wild boar again, you might not be so lucky. This afternoon, go ask Hunter Chen if he's willing to come with us. We'll give him some of the wild boars."

Lin Jingcheng nodded. "What Mom said makes sense. We'll go find Uncle Chen after dinner. Uncle Chen is a good man and he won't refuse us."

Lin Jingce pointed at the food and said, "Eat quickly, second brother. After you finish eating, we will go and bring the wild boar back. If someone else finds it first, or if it is eaten by wild animals, then we will have no wild boar left."

The other people also started eating quickly. When they were about to leave after the meal, Aunt Zhang pulled them aside and reminded them several times to be careful and to take the shovels, hoes, sickles and other tools from home with them.

Seeing that the three of them were holding "weapons" in their left and right hands, Aunt Zhang felt a little relieved.

The three of them went to Chen the Hunter's house and explained their intentions. Chen the Hunter agreed to their request and set off with them, carrying his bow and arrows.

Before setting off, Shen Wanning smeared some realgar powder on them and then led the way. Fortunately, she had walked this road more than once and had cut down most of the thorns on the road, so it was much easier to walk now.

"Miss Shen has quite a wealth of knowledge about life in the wild." Hunter Chen praised with a smile.

Hunter Chen is already over thirty years old and still unmarried. Whenever someone tries to introduce him to a woman, he always declines, saying that being a hunter is a difficult job. He fears that if he dies, the woman will become a widow, and so he remains single until now.
