"Dad, Mom, we're back!" Lin Jingce shouted breathlessly outside the yard.

Aunt Zhang and Lin Dashan had been sitting in the yard waiting for them. Fearing they might get into trouble in the mountains, they were restless and had no desire to work. They could only sit in the yard, watching anxiously, hoping they would return safely.

Hearing Lin Jingce's voice, Lin Dashan was so excited that the pipe in his hand fell to the ground. He picked it up again with heartache and wiped the ashes off the pipe with his hand.

"Oh my god, it's such a big wild boar!" Aunt Zhang's eyes widened when she saw the wild boar.

"That's right! Uncle Chen said that this wild boar weighs more than 300 pounds! My brother and I were so tired when we carried it back!" Lin Jingcheng responded.

The villagers who were watching the fun were talking about it.

"Could this wild boar really be from the Lin family? Their eldest and second sons look skinny and weak, but I never thought they could kill such a big wild boar."

"Hey, you're wrong. I heard that the wild boar was found by the daughter of the old Lin family. I heard that two wild boars were fighting and one was killed. The daughter of the old Lin family happened to see it."

"What? Such a good thing actually happened? That means the daughter of the Lin family is really a lucky star!"

Widow Wang happened to be passing by with a basket and heard them talking. She rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "What lucky star? If it were a lucky star, wouldn't the well at the entrance of our village dry up as soon as it came to our village? I think it's more like a disaster star!"

Aunt Zhang rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit her, but she ran away quickly.

"Damn Widow Wang, don't let me see you again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!" Aunt Zhang yelled at Widow Wang's back.

Mrs. Hu nodded, but didn't dare to say anything. She was scared after being beaten last time, and now she only dared to say bad things about Shen Wanning behind her back.

Shen Wanning saw that the eyes of several villagers looked at her differently, so she quickly said, "This time when I went up the mountain, I not only found wild boars, but also found a water source."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Jingcheng and the other person standing beside her. Lin Jingcheng immediately reacted and said, "I'll go find the village head. The rest of you can wait under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The village head will let everyone pass by in a while."

As soon as Shen Wanning said this, the villagers started to talk even louder. "Could it be that the girl from the Lin family is really a fairy, sent by God to save our Daqing Village?"

Granny Qin deliberately spoke louder, "That's right, she looks like a fairy and has a good personality. When she came to Daqing Village, she not only discovered edible cassava but also a source of water. I think the daughter of the old Lin family is a fairy sent from heaven!"

After Granny Qin said this, the others looked at Shen Wanning with a bit more awe.

This was exactly what Shen Wanning wanted. This way, when she did something in the future, the villagers would unconditionally support her. For example, planting sweet potatoes would be more acceptable to everyone.

Hunter Chen was holding the roe deer. "Brother Dashan, Sister Chunmei, I'll go back first and send the roe deer back. We'll meet at the village entrance soon."

Aunt Zhang grabbed Hunter Chen and said, "Hey, wait a minute, you've protected them all the way here, I can't let you make this trip in vain."

After saying that, he turned to Lin Jingce and said, "Boss, go get the bone-chopping knife."

Lin Jingce responded and hurried back to the house to get the bone-cutting knife.

Hunter Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's just a side job. I had to go into the mountains to check the traps today anyway. Look, I caught a wild roe deer, so why would I want your pork?"

Aunt Zhang held him tighter, not wanting him to leave. "That won't do. We promised to give you pork. We can't be the ones who break our promise. Otherwise, people will stab us in the back and scold us. We're an educated family!"

Hunter Chen had no choice but to wait here.

Lin Jingce came out with a bone-chopping knife and a basin. Aunt Zhang ordered, "Boss, chop off a pig's hind leg for your Uncle Chen."

"No, no, this is too much. Besides, I can't help much. No, no. I just want a pig's head." Hunter Chen replied.

Shen Wanning stepped forward and said, "Uncle Chen, please accept it. Otherwise, if we need your help next time, we won't be able to ask you for it again."

After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Lin Jingce quickly placed the basin under the pig's leg and chopped it off several times. The blood flowed down into the basin.

Aunt Zhang quickly took the pork leg and handed it to Hunter Chen. "Take it back and pickle it. You can also sell it. Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't keep well in this weather."

Hunter Chen nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Chunmei. I'll go back first and wait for you at the village entrance."

"Okay, go ahead!" Aunt Zhang responded, and told Lin Jingce and Lin Jingcheng to carry the pig into the yard, while she held a basin to collect the pig's blood.

The villagers were just lamenting the Lin family's luck when they saw Lin Jingcheng running over. "The village head wants everyone to go to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. He said he has something to announce."

When he first entered, he ran into Lin Daqiang at the village head's house, trying to persuade him to divide up the public funds. When he heard what he was here for, he looked at him with a look that seemed to pierce him.

"Come on, let's go and wait under the old locust tree. Maybe the girl from the old Lin family has really found a source of water! We have no water at home!"

The villagers hurried towards the village entrance together.

Shen Wanning was about to walk forward, holding Aunt Zhang's arm, when she heard Aunt Niu crying from next door. "Gousheng! What's wrong with you? Woo woo woo~"

Aunt Zhang quickly took Shen Wanning to Aunt Niu's house to check, only to see Aunt Niu sitting on the ground with Gousheng holding him. Gousheng had his eyes closed.

"What's wrong with your dog?"

"My house, my house is out of water. Gousheng was really thirsty, so he drank some cassava soaked water. He kept vomiting and having diarrhea. He just came out of the toilet and fainted on the ground. Woo woo~"

Shen Wanning quickly ordered, "Quick, who has white radish and brown sugar? Mash the white radish, add the brown sugar and boil some water for Gousheng to drink."

Aunt Zhang took a look and said, "I have these two things at home. I'll go boil some water."

After Aunt Zhang left, Shen Wanning squatted down, patted Aunt Niu on the back and said comfortingly, "Aunt Niu, don't worry, Gousheng is fine. Fortunately, he drank the water instead of eating the cassava directly. The poisoning is also mild. He will be fine after drinking the brown sugar radish water my mother brought. Please put him to bed first."

Granny Qin also stepped forward to comfort her, "Yes, Niu, the daughter of the old Lin family has found a water source. We will have water to drink from now on! We don't have to worry about the water problem anymore. This girl may have done it, and she must be right. Don't worry too much."

Aunt Niu sobbed for a while, but finally stopped crying and carried Gousheng to the bed.

Lin Dashi was just coming back carrying some firewood. Seeing everyone gathered at his house, he quickly asked, "What's going on? Why are you all gathered at my house?"
