After everyone else had gone down the mountain, Shen Shuli found an abandoned cave and hid inside.

We began processing a batch of chickens, ducks, and geese.

The water stored in the space can last for a few more days, but the water sources outside are rapidly decreasing and cannot be replenished.

After finishing her task, Shen Shuli continued searching for a relatively damp cave in the mountains.

I searched for a long time before I finally found one that didn't quite meet my requirements.

The drought in the mountains is so severe that it's not easy to find a cave with some moisture inside.

Shen Shuli immediately started digging a pit inside the cave.

The cave's geology was too hard, making it too difficult for Shen Shuli to dig it out manually.

The drilling rig was retrieved from the space and dug a hole at a very fast speed.

The excavated soil was transported using spatial means and thrown into the mountains.

Soon, a well that was 20 meters deep and 2 meters wide was dug out.

Unfortunately, although the underground soil in the deep well was damp, there was still no sign of water coming out.

Shen Shuli reinforced the soil on the rock wall of the deep pit to prevent the soil from falling off and contaminating the water source.

After dealing with everything, Shen Shuli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pour the water from the space into the deep pit.

It took five tons of water to fill the deep pit.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Shen Shuli reluctantly sprayed a lot of water on all the walls and corners of the cave to increase its humidity.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a few more prey from his spatial storage.

There were three wild boars and five wild wolves.

These were all prey hunted while searching for water sources in Baishan Village.

It also contained a lot of fresh horse meat, which was from previous stock.

With a considerable daily consumption of grain, this is a good opportunity to replenish our oil and fat reserves.

Shen Shuli fired a yellow signal flare into the sky from outside the cave.

This was something I had discussed with Su Yunhai beforehand.

As soon as Su Yunhai sees this yellow signal flare, a group of people will come up the mountain to fetch water.

They waited in the cave for more than an hour.

Su Yunhai finally appeared with a large group of people.

Shen Shuli stood at the entrance of the cave and quickly called out to everyone, excitedly saying, "Dad, come over here quickly! I found a spring in the cave. Come and fetch some water!"

Su Yunhai feigned surprise and, without any modesty, praised his daughter as a lucky star.

Shen Shuli loved listening to this, smiling happily and nodding in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Rui and other villagers quickly praised Shen Shuli without hesitation.

Shen Shuli felt even more relieved.

I've done so many good deeds behind their backs, what's wrong with listening to some nice words that have no real practical use?

"Father, alright, alright, you two hurry up and go fetch water," Shen Shuli urged.

In just two hours, the water level in the well had visibly dropped by half a meter.

This shows how fast the soil absorbs water!

She was worried that if she didn't fetch water quickly, the soil would absorb it all away.

When the villagers saw the water in the well in the cave with their own eyes, they were all shocked.

Even when there was no water shortage in previous years, the wells in their village had never been this full!

Everyone immediately began to divide the work, some fetching water, others carrying water.

Nobody paid any attention to the pile of processed wild animal meat placed next to the well.

Shen Shuli poked Su Yunhai's waist and teased, "Dad, with so much fat on you, do these people really not see it?"

Su Yunhai chuckled and said, "In this severe drought, water is the most precious thing for everyone; everything else has to take a backseat."

"Alright, I was being redundant. I shouldn't have thought of bringing it out as an extra treat for you guys," Shen Shuli said, feigning disappointment.

Su Yunhai immediately smiled and coaxed his daughter, "How could that be! They'll take the meat down after they finish fetching the water. Don't be upset, Dad will definitely eat a whole pig later."

"Alright, I was just teasing you."

Shen Shuli then asked, "By the way, Father, are the herbs I prepared enough? If not, I'll use the spiritual spring water to encourage another batch to grow later."

"That's enough, that's enough. The medicine you gave us is very effective. Those villagers who suffered from heatstroke were almost cured after drinking one bowl. I also arranged for everyone who didn't suffer from heatstroke to drink half a bowl as a preventative measure. There should still be half left."

"There's just a severe water shortage."

Su Yunhai couldn't help but sigh, "Luckily, my daughter transmigrated here, and she even brought her companion space with her. Otherwise, your father and mother definitely wouldn't have survived this natural disaster."

Shen Shuli felt heartbroken after hearing this.

She has the space to cheat.

But there are countless ordinary people in this world. How many of them can survive in this cannibalistic world?

"Don't think about it too much, it's all fate," Shen Shuli comforted her.

It took an hour to draw all the water from the well.

The remaining water was all dirty water mixed with mud and was unusable, so we had to give up on it.

Shen Shuli did a rough calculation.

She retrieved five tons of water from the space, but the villagers only managed to transport and store four tons down the mountain.

The wear and tear is simply too severe.

This was because the villagers had been extremely careful in transporting the water all the way, not wanting to spill a single drop.

However, without this method, Shen Shuli had no way to conjure water in a reasonable way.

In short, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

Watching the water being carried down the mountain in buckets, though somewhat murky, all the villagers saw hope for survival.

"My God, where did you get so much water?" the villagers exclaimed.

"Yes, most of the plants on this mountain have died, and the water source must have dried up long ago. How did you manage to get so much water!"

"It was spring water that Su Yunhai's daughter found in a cave. If she hadn't risked going deep into the mountains, how could we have gotten so much water!"

"That's right, we should be grateful to the Su family for their great kindness to us, otherwise we would have died eight hundred times over!"

"Yes, yes, the medicine I just drank was all gathered by the Su family girl on the mountain. That girl is truly a lucky star; she saved me again!"

Shen Yuehua felt much better listening to the villagers praising her daughter without reservation.

Because someone suffered from heatstroke, there was a longer delay at noon.

After the villagers had recovered, Su Yunhai had the team boil several large pots of water to make herbal tea before they began their journey.

Originally expected to arrive in Qinzhou tonight, it will be delayed by one day.

Of the migrants following behind the Peach Blossom Village group, only a small number managed to catch up.

Most of the refugees lacked water and food, and were simply unable to travel under the scorching sun in such hot temperatures.

Many refugees perished on their journey to escape the famine.

They died of thirst, starvation, or heatstroke and were unable to get up.

In short, they never got up again.

The hundreds of Lin family guards who escaped from the Lin family were actually faster than the refugees who were ahead of them because of their superior physique.

They had no food or water, and they traveled day and night, desperately trying to reach the nearest town as quickly as possible to find a way to replenish their supplies.

The Lin family members who remained in the mountain village were also facing a test of survival.
