After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Zhang Hujun saw Zhao Heigou grabbing the bench, so he went over and grabbed it, saying, "You dare to hit my eldest sister? Do you believe I will break your legs?"

Zhao Guoliang slammed the table, "Enough..."

Zhang Hulan held the bamboo pole with one hand and put the other on her waist, pointing at Zhao Heigou and cursing, "Zhao Heigou, you better keep your mouth shut. I've been fighting in the village since I was a child. If you dare to mess with me, I won't kill you."

Da Niu separated Zhang Hujun and Zhao Heigou. Zhang Hujun grabbed the bench and finally pushed Zhao Heigou, warning him, "Zhao Heigou, you'd better not mess with my sister again, or I'll be rude to you next time."

Zhao Heigou looked at Zhao Guoliang with a gloomy face, "Uncle, look at the Zhang family..."

"That's enough..." Zhao Guoliang slammed the table again, "Black Dog, watch your mouth from now on. Otherwise, sooner or later, you'll get into trouble because of your mouth."

After Zhao Guoliang finished scolding Zhao Heigou, he looked at Zhang Hulan and said, "Hulan, we are all villagers. Don't hit people without thinking."

"Uncle Village Chief, if he didn't provoke me, would I hit him? Hit him? I'd even think it would dirty my hands. It's just that some people just have bad mouths and deserve to be punished."

Li walked up to Zhang Hulan and pulled her to stop talking.

Some villagers also advised: "Hu Lan, don't bother with Zhao Heigou. Just leave it as it is. Don't pay any attention to him."

"That's right, everyone in the village knows who he is."

Some villagers also whispered, "Why is Zhang Hulan so angry? The wound on her head must have been from a fight with the men in her family."

"With such a bad temper, she must have fought with her husband a lot."

However, the voices were low and far away, so Zhang Hulan didn't hear them. Otherwise, she would have to have a good chat with the two of them.

Zhang Hulan smiled at the villagers who tried to persuade her, then said to Zhao Guoliang, "Village head, I'm not angry with you. I grew up in the village, too, and everyone knows what kind of person Zhao Heigou is. He's done all sorts of thieving and cheating in the village.

When someone has a wedding or funeral, everyone goes to help, but he brings his mouth. People like him should be driven out of the village and not allowed to bother the villagers.

Many people in the village agreed with Zhang Hulan's words, but since they all lived in the same village, they couldn't bring themselves to say such things.

Zhao Heigou's wife is also a lazy and gluttonous person. The grass in their field grows better than the crops.

Zhao Guoliang said, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's all work together to figure out how to get through this period."

This was indeed the real business. Zhang Hulan said nothing more and walked back to Wang with Li to listen to what they were discussing.

In this situation, who can do anything? The villagers talked about it for a while but couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Zhao Guoliang said: "The most important thing now is water. Judging from the situation, the wells will run out of water in a few days, and there may be no water tomorrow.

The food is still okay. At worst, we have to eat grass roots and tree bark. We have encountered disasters in the past.

And I don't believe that you don't have any money at home. Why don't you use the money to buy food at this time? Are you going to take it with you to the ground after you die?

Fleeing famine is a last resort. Out of ten people fleeing famine, eight or nine will die on the way, so I urge everyone to think carefully."

Zhao Guoliang's words made the villagers feel even more depressed. Some elderly people had experienced several famines, and many people died in each famine.

Zhang Hulan was also trying to find a solution. The water supply was a major issue and needed to be addressed. If the water supply ran out in this weather, people would likely die of dehydration within two or three days.

She searched her mind for a possible source of water, and then she thought of the ditch where she had caught the snake.

In the past, water flowed down from the mountain for a long time, which means there was water on the mountain.

She also learned from her original body's memory that there was a big hole halfway up the mountain, and the water on the mountain flowed out of that hole.

Zhang Hulan felt that there might be caves and groundwater on the mountain.

So Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Chief, why don't we go to the mountain and take a look?"

Zhao Guoliang asked, "Go to the mountain? Which mountain?"

"It's the mountain with water on it. Isn't there a big ditch at the bottom of the mountain?"

A villager asked, "But there's no water on the mountain now, right?"

"There's no water, so let's go take a look," Zhang Hulan said. "The water comes from a cave halfway up the mountain. Let's find a way to get in and take a look. There used to be water there, so it means there's a source. Let's see if the water has flowed away."

Another villager chimed in, "Although the cave is not small, it's still too big for people to get in, right?"

"Then we should find a way to enlarge the hole. We can't just sit there and wait."

"We can go and take a look." Zhao Guoliang nodded and said, "Hu Lan is right. We can't just sit there and wait."

Zhao Guoliang asked, "Who would like to go up the mountain with me tomorrow?"

After Zhao Guoliang asked, no one spoke.

After a while, a villager said, "It's been so dry for so long, where's the water? It's a waste of time to go there."

Then another villager said, "Forget it. I'd better take my family to the city. If we stay here any longer, we'll either starve to death or die of thirst. Maybe there's a way out."

Zhao Guoliang's expression turned pale. "If you insist on leaving, I won't stop you. I'll just remind you to think it over carefully."

Zhao Guoliang finally called out the names directly, "Liu Yongquan, Wang Lin, Dajun, Zhou Dashan, and Tiezhu, you will follow me up the mountain tomorrow."

"Okay, let's all disperse."

The crowd dispersed, and everyone was worried.

They are short of water and food, it seems God is killing them...

On the way home, Wang was lecturing Zhang Hulan, "Girl, why are you so angry now? Zhao Heigou is just that kind of person, why are you competing with her? You need to change your temper, otherwise how will you get married in the future?"

"Okay, okay, I'll change it." Zhang Hulan agreed perfunctorily.

When they got home, Zhang Dahua and Daya had already cooked dinner. Wang told Old Man Zhang that the well was about to run out of water. Old Man Zhang immediately became anxious, "What should we do? Has the village head come up with a solution?"

Zhang Hujun said, "Dad, my eldest sister suggested we go to the mountain to have a look. It's the mountain where the water flows all year round. The village head said we should take a few people up the mountain to take a look tomorrow morning."

The adults didn't enjoy their meal tonight and tossed and turned all night long, unable to fall asleep.

It's not just the Zhang family. Not many people in the village can sleep tonight. They are all wondering what to do if there is no water.

In the middle of the night, a quarrel was heard in the village, waking up everyone in the village.

Zhang Hujun and Zhang Hulan both ran out to see what was happening and found that several villagers were fighting for water.

Some villagers cried out, "There's no water in the well. What should we do?"

Zhang Hujun ran to the wellhead, took the torch from a villager and looked into the well.

There was really no water left in the well, only a little turbid water at the bottom.

Zhang Hujun was also panicked. There was no water at all. What should he do now?

Zhao Guoliang also rushed over. After looking at the bottom of the well, he said, "We can't wait any longer. Let's go up the mountain and find water now."

Zhao Guoliang immediately asked the few people who were named yesterday to go home and get their things.

Bring a shovel, hoe, hatchet, chisel, hammer, and rope.

Zhang Hulan said, "Uncle Village Head, there's no need to rush for an hour or two. Let's go after daybreak.

If you go there now, it's pitch dark and you can't see anything.

It would be dangerous to light a torch. The weather is so dry now, it's easy to start a fire. If the mountain burns down, it will be troublesome."

Zhao Guoliang thought about it and felt that Zhang Hulan was right. If a fire burned the mountain, it would be a big trouble.

"Well, then, let's wait until daybreak before going up the mountain."
