Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu and thought to himself: God is still fair. If they hadn't been pressing every step of the way, he wouldn't have returned to his former residence and encountered Yu'er. It seemed that his grandfather had persuaded him before that he would have to make mistakes. It makes sense to have success. Meeting fish is God's compensation for you.

Li Yu saw Zhou Jia looking at him and giggling, and pointed to the road ahead: Why are you giggling? If you don't watch the road, the mule will go into the woods.

Zhou Jia looked at the children behind him and swallowed the words that were on his lips, After we get out of this forest, we can reach the village in front before dark. We will stay there tonight.

Okay. Li Yu mentally calculated the water in his own space, then looked back at the nearly 100 panting villagers walking behind him, and felt that the water was just a drop in the bucket for so many people.

The villagers have run out of water. It's best to find water out front to replenish it. Is there sufficient water in the village?

I don't know what the water source is like there now, but under such circumstances, even if there is water, they won't give it to us.

Li Yu sighed, That's true! You can't rob it by force!

Zhou Jia laughed and said, Okay! How about we go up the mountain and become the king of the mountain?

Li Yu rolled his eyes at Zhou Jia and said, Fuck you! You are the king of the mountain, and you are just as good as the lord of the village.

Okay, if you become the king of the mountain, won't I be your lord of the village?

The children clapped their hands and cheered, Oh, Mr. Zhou is going to be the Prime Minister of the village!

The dusk was dim, and the villagers dragged their exhausted bodies and gritted their teeth as they trudged forward. A ray of setting sun stretched the silhouette of the passerby, making even that figure look so exhausted.

The car turned a corner and passed through a bare forest. Li Yu saw the village in front of him and turned around and shouted to everyone: Folks, there is a village in front of us. We will stay in the village in front of us tonight.

Chen Guijia raised his head and roared, I really can't walk anymore. After saying that, he put the bamboo pole on his shoulders on the ground, then slumped there, looking up at the sky with tears in his eyes.

The little girl in Li Yu's car saw her slumped on the ground and called Li Yu anxiously, Sister, sister, what's wrong with my mother? I want to go down and see my mother.

Li Yu endured the sourness in his heart and comforted softly, Your mother is fine. She is just too tired. You can go down and rub her and she will be fine.

The little girl nodded glumly, Zhou Jia stopped the mule cart, Li Yu took her out of the cart and watched her dash towards Chen Gui's house.

Li Yu picked up the children and put them on the ground. Xiaodouzi pointed at Chen Zhong, Sister Xiaoyu, look, my dad is here.

Li Yu smiled and patted him, Okay, go find your father!

Everyone unloaded the car in an open space on the roadside. Chen Gui found Li Yu with a worried look on his face, Xiaoyu, my Ah Yin, Artai and Ah Chun are all injured. Is there anything I can do?

Where are their injuries? I have gold medicine here. You can bandage their wounds first.

Chen Gui gestured at his body, A Yin was slashed on his arm, A Tai was on his shoulder, and A Chun was on his back. The blood has stopped flowing. It's so hot that the wound will become red and swollen.

Zhou Jia, please help Uncle Chen bandage it. Li Yu took out the wine and clean cotton cloth from the bamboo basket and gave them to Zhou Jia. Zhou Jia told Chen Yin, Atai, Ah Chun, and Chen Yin to wash the wounds with wine and then sprinkle them with gold sores. Medicine, bandage the wound.

After hearing this, Zhou Jia smiled and said, I know, go and have a rest. Li Yu nodded and helped unload the luggage.

Zhou Jia followed Chen Gui and took a look at the wounds of several people. Sure enough, they were a little red. He lowered his head and helped bandage them patiently and carefully.

Chen Baozhen secretly glanced at the handsome Zhou Jia from the side. Listening to his low and gentle words, ripples appeared in her heart.

Uncle Zhou, Aunt He and the others were busy. The villagers living on the roadside looked at Li Yu and the others from a distance, with nervous and defensive expressions on their faces.

Zhou Jia and the village chief walked towards the villagers. When the villagers saw someone coming, they all retreated behind the fence and closed the fence door.

The village chief Zhou Jiahe walked outside the fence and saluted an old man with shabby clothes and gray hair, Old man, you are polite. We are villagers from Xishan Village, Qingshui Town, Qingshan County, because our hometown was hit by a locust plague. After fleeing the famine and arriving in your land, we will stay in the open space in front of you for one night and leave early tomorrow morning.

The old man saw that the older man was covered in dust and looked tired, and the younger man was also covered in dust, but he looked quite handsome.

The old man felt that the two of them did not look like bad people. He opened the fence door and walked out. He said to the two of them with a sad face: We are also suffering from a disaster! Look at the field, there is not even a leaf left!

Zhou Jia took out a bunch of money and handed it to the old man, Old man, please accept your kindness. I would like to ask you where there is water nearby? We want to get some water.

The old man looked at the copper coins in his hand, then at the chapped lips of the village chief and Zhou Jia, sighed, quickly pointed to the mountain behind the house, and lowered his voice, There is a path behind my house. You can follow the path. There is a pool of water halfway up the mountain, and there is water in it. You can go there to get water, and remember to be quiet. Remember, don't go to the well in the village, or you will be driven away.

Thank you, old man. Zhou Jiahe, the village chief, bowed to thank the old man and returned to the camp, whispering to Li Yu, The old man in the village said that there is a pool halfway up the mountain with water in it. If he wants us to be quiet, we can go there now!

Li Yu's eyes lit up after hearing this, Okay, let everyone copy out all the things that can hold water and give them to us. We will go up in batches and fill all the household items that can hold water.

Everyone took action. Aunt He and Uncle Zhou emptied the barrels, tied them with ropes and handed them to Jixiang. Ruyi and Zhaocai took the barrels with them. Li Yu looked at Ruyi and whispered, I'll take them first. Two of you go up, and you will come back after we have left for a while, and please spread out and don't crowd together.

Several people nodded, Li Yu picked up the machete, carried the barrel, and walked into the woods with Chen Yaohui and Chen Yaozu, heading towards the path behind the old man's house.

When the three of them arrived at the old man's house, they saw a narrow path leading to the hillside above.

Li Yu led the two of them towards the mountain. The path became more and more rugged. After walking for more than half an hour, the leaves on both sides of the path became green. The mountain wind also brought a hint of coolness. Li Yu thought to himself: It should be About to arrive.

The three of them walked for another quarter of an hour and saw a cave in front of them. The wild grass at the entrance was lush and green. Li Yu pointed at the cave and said to the two of them: Uncle Chen's pool should be inside the cave.

The three of them approached the entrance of the cave and looked around. They saw that it was so dark inside that they couldn't see anything clearly. They listened carefully and heard the sound of water dripping, dripping and dripping.

Li Yu took out a fire stick and blew it to light it up. He walked into the cave and saw a pool as big as a round table. The water in the pool was crystal clear, and water drops dripped from the top of the cave from time to time.

Li Yu happily handed the fire certificate to Chen Yaohui, Uncle, hurry up and fill the water. I'll chop some firewood to make the cave brighter.

Go! Chen Yaohui happily agreed and took the fire certificate. Li Yu put down the barrel and walked out of the cave with a machete. When he walked outside the cave, he saw Ruyi leading two villagers up the mountain. Li Yu pointed at them. When I got out of the cave, I found two dead trees in the forest, cut them down and chopped a few sticks, picked up some dead branches and leaves, and carried them into the cave.

Ruyi quickly helped light the dead branches and leaves to start the fire. Only then did everyone see clearly that the water in the pool was soaked from the cave wall.

Chen Yaohui had already filled the barrel, closed the lid and smiled happily, Educated people are really different. You see, Mr. Zhou's bucket looks like a wine can, and it can even be sealed!

Later, the villagers also marveled after seeing it, It's true! If I had known, we would have made two wooden barrels like this.

Ruyi said to Li Yu: Miss Li, you wait here for the other villagers. I will carry the water down first.

Li Yu brought a wooden stick from the entrance of the cave and handed it to Ruyi, The road down the mountain is difficult, so use the wooden stick to help you go down the mountain.

Thank you, Miss Li. Ruyi knelt down, picked up the barrel, and walked quickly down the mountain with the stick.

Everyone was busy until half past midnight, and then they filled up everything that could hold water. After eating and arranging the manpower on duty, they rested with peace of mind.
