I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Chen was the first to come back to her senses. Seeing that it was Wang Lai Zi who came to report the news, she didn't care about the dirty things with Wang Po and immediately rushed out of the Li family's yard.

"What did you say? They're back? And they brought back wild goats?"

Wang Laizi had volunteered to return early to report the news because he didn't want to carry the prey. After a long journey, he was hot and thirsty. Hearing Chen's words, he became impatient and said, "What else can we do? We've killed nearly fifty wild goats and a tiger this time!"

He ignored Chen and looked up to see his wife at the front of the crowd. He shouted, "What are you doing here? Why don't you go home and get me some water?"

Someone immediately told him that because they had not returned for three days, Wang Po had brought people to make trouble.

Wang Laizi immediately flew into a rage. He rushed forward and started beating Wang Pozi up. "I'm working so hard out here, and you're holding me back in the village? The village chief said back on the mountain that he'll give a whole sheep to families who perform well this time! What will our family get if you make such a fuss?"

He is so angry!

There was nothing to eat in the mountains these days, and the water was so scarce that it was barely enough to keep him from dying of thirst. He had finally hunted so many prey and was thinking of getting a sheep so that he could eat meat for at least the next two months. But the woman at home was so disappointing that she actually brought people to the village chief's house to make trouble!

Mrs. Wang was stunned. When she came to her senses, she burst into tears and said, "Oh my God, who am I doing this for? You said that after we came back from the mountain, our family would go to escape the famine. You haven't come back for three days, and I'm worried. Can't I ask them for an explanation? This is really unfair! I won't live anymore..."

Although she said she didn't want to live anymore, Wang Po's feet were not idle, oh no, even her hands were not idle. She used one hand to pull Wang Lai Zi, trying to take him home first.

But Wang Laizi didn't want to give up what he had got. He shook her hand off and cursed, "Don't touch me! I have to go back to pick them up!"

As he spoke, Wang Laizi ran faster than Wang Pozi. After returning home, he drank a bowl of water and hurried to call people to go up the mountain.

When the people in the village saw Wang Laizi, they felt relieved. They had already lit torches and ran towards the clouds in groups of three or five.

Some who were not so sure waited for Wang Laizi to come out before following him into the mountains.

Meng and Chen wiped their eyes and smiled at each other.

Meng said, "As long as they are okay."

"Yes, I feel relieved now. Sister Meng, I'll go back first. The old man will definitely need to eat and drink when he comes back, so I have to prepare it." Chen also said with a sense of relief.

According to Wang Lai Zi, they should have gained a lot from this trip up the mountain, so she felt relieved, at least the girl would not complain.

That night, it was almost midnight before Chen Shao, Liu Yazi and the others returned to the village.

Chen looked around for a long time, but didn't see Old Man Lu and Jiang Qinyu. Her heart tightened, and she quickly pulled Chen Shao to ask, "Ah Shao, where are your Uncle Lu and Sister Lu?"

Chen Shao was stunned for a moment, then looked at her strangely and asked, "They didn't come back today, so our village has to send someone up to replace them. Didn't Wang Laizi tell you?"

"No, no one told me." Chen shook her head, frowning.

She was waiting for someone at home and only came out when she heard a lot of noise outside. During this time, no one went to her house to say anything to her!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. My boss just asked me to inform everyone that there are still more than a dozen people in the mountains who haven't returned. I was so confused that I forgot about your family." Mrs. Wang came over to apologize hypocritically.

Chen's face darkened, she glanced at her, and then turned back.

This thief is the most vicious. She has always been at odds with her. Now that she helped Meng today, she must be holding a grudge against her again.

Let’s put aside the excitement in the village for now and say that Jiang Qinyu and the others are still at the underground river, discussing how to get the water up there.

"Village chief, why don't we go up first? It's too... too cold here..." Liu Erleng said to Village Chief Li with trembling lips.

Because he had been in the water before, his body was already a little cold, and now more than a hundred meters underground, he felt the freezing cold.

Village Chief Li couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at Jiang Qinyu and asked, "Niece, what do you say?"

Jiang Qinyu had just come back to her senses from the new task assigned by the system. Upon hearing this, she said, "We are all lightly dressed. We really can't stay here any longer. Let's go up first."

She crossed her arms, looking a little depressed.

There are no hot springs underground here. The temperature is only about ten degrees, definitely not more than fifteen degrees. For people like them who are only wearing thin summer clothes, it is indeed a bit unbearable.

"Village chief, you take everyone up first. I will take a few people to walk along the river and see where it leads." Meng Tianze said.

Jiang Qinyu frowned and raised her hand to stop him. "Brother Meng, we've walked a long way into the mountains. We don't know where the river flows. If we go in blindly, I'm afraid there will be problems. Let's all go back first."

Before submitting the task, she took a look at the map. All the water here came from this underground river. If this river flowed outside, the entire Yukang Prefecture would not be so dry.

Then the only explanation is that this river should be circulating underground throughout the Yunshan Mountains.

"Yes, Lao Meng, let's go back and prepare first, and come back in a few days." Village chief Li patted his shoulder.

Anyway, they have found the water source, so there is no need to rush.

Jiang Qinyu looked at the direction of the underground river thoughtfully, and a bold idea came to her mind.

Village chief Li led his men back the same way. When they came out of the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's better to be outside. Even though the sun is annoying, it's warm!"

"That's right! Just now, I was so scared down there. If it wasn't a dry day, I would have kowtowed to the sun in the sky."

"Come on, you guys, haven't you done enough cursing the sun before?"

"I say you……"

A dozen or so men were arguing loudly, while Village Chief Li was walking with Jiang Qinyu.

"Niece, what do you think about this?" After the excitement of finding the water source wore off, Village Chief Li frowned.

Although the water source was found, how were they going to get the water?

You can't always go up and down through the hole you just made, right?

Jiang Qinyu paused and turned to face Dingshui Village. She turned her head to look at Village Chief Li, "Uncle Village Chief, how far do you think we are from the village in a straight line?"

"Ah?" Village Chief Li was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

Jiang Qinyu gestured. "From the time we entered the mountains until now, it seems like it took us a whole day to get here, crossing the mountains and ridges. But if we dig a straight road from underground to the village, how far would it be?"

Village Chief Li didn't understand what she meant at first. When he figured it out, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a goose egg. "Niece, you want... want..."

What this girl said was something he couldn't even imagine! "Hey guys, please vote and urge me to update! Give me some motivation!"
