Zhang checked carefully and found that Yun Yiyi had no injuries on her body. She felt relieved instantly.

"Yiyi, have you forgotten that time back home when you fell from a tree and broke your head? How dare you be so brave to climb a tree by yourself!"

Zhang held Yun Yiyi for a moment, then said, "Yiyi, you really scared me to death. Don't climb trees alone next time."

Yun Yiyi saw that Zhang looked extremely frightened and guessed that she was probably scared by what happened to little Yiyi when she fell from the tree.

Yun Yiyi stepped forward and hugged Zhang's waist. "Mom, if you're worried, I won't climb a tree alone next time. Besides, are you still worried about my tree-climbing skills?"

Zhang had recovered by now. "That won't work either. Those who drowned in the river were all able to swim."

Yun Yiyi touched her nose and didn't dare to say anything. This was true. If little Yiyi hadn't fallen from the tree and been seriously injured, Yun Yiyi wouldn't have come.

Zhang squatted down and picked up a basket of wild pears. "Yiyi, are there still wild pears in the mountains now?"

"Mom, there aren't many. Anyway, this is the only one I came across. I also stumbled upon this wild pear tree by accident."

Yun Yiyi also squatted down, "Mom, this wild pear, don't look at its small size, but it is very sweet and delicious."

"The pear tree I came across has only these pears left after all the pears have been picked. I'm sure if it weren't for the drought, there would be more."

Zhang washed the two pears with water, handed one to Yun Yiyi, and started eating the pear in her hand.

"Yiyi, you are right, this pear is very delicious." Zhang finished the pear in her hand in a few bites.

She washed her hands and used a comb to braid Yun Yiyi's hair into two small braids again.

"Mother, I found a rock pool on the mountain. The water there is a flowing spring. We can use it for water for the villagers."

"I'll go up the mountain and talk to Dad in a minute. Let Dad talk to the village chief."

"Yiyi, this is good news. Most people in the village are short of water. I didn't expect you to find water so easily."

"Mom, there are a lot of wild vegetables next to the stone pond. I plan to take my eldest brother and the others there to dig wild vegetables. After digging the wild vegetables, we can also use the water in the stone pond to wash them clean."

Zhang laughed when she heard this. "Yiyi, that's a good idea. Wild vegetables need to be washed after they're brought back. You can wash them over there and take them home, saving your father the trouble of fetching water."

"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going up the mountain."

"Be careful, Yiyi."

"I understand, Mom." Yun Yiyi said, and quickly climbed up the mountain.

"Dad, are you almost done mowing the grass?"

Butcher Yun straightened up and said, "Yiyi, we have already cut a lot of grass and will carry it back soon."

"Yiyi, why did you come up from the foot of the mountain? Didn't you go up the mountain?"

Yun Yiyi chuckled, "Dad, I found a stone pool in the woods ahead. There's a spring flowing inside the pool."

“Although the stone pond is not big, with the flowing spring water, it is enough for our villagers to draw water.”

"Besides, I've already cleaned the stone pond, so you can get water directly when you go there."

Butcher Yun immediately became interested. "Yiyi, you're really capable. Now everyone has enough water. You don't know, I've been getting irritated by the lack of water these past two days."

"We have two mules, a donkey, and our family. We use a lot of water every day. I can't sleep well at night watching the water reserves dwindle."

Yun Yiyi was stunned. She didn't expect that Yun the Butcher was under so much pressure. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to find water earlier. But it's not too late now.

"Dad, don't worry. Although the stone pond is not big, I have carefully examined it and it is indeed large enough for the villagers to draw water."

Yun Yiyi patted Yun Yiyi's shoulder gently and said, "Yiyi, I trust you to do the job. If you talk about the water in the stone pond, I will definitely believe you."

"Dad, there's one more thing. I've looked around the area around Shitan, and there are a lot of wild vegetables there. I'm thinking of taking my brother there to dig for them later."

"I've dug up the wild vegetables and washed them right there in the stone pond. This will save you the trouble of fetching water."

"Yiyi, this is a good idea. By the way, Yiyi, have you told the village chief about this?"

"Dad, go talk to the village chief and ask him to arrange for the villagers to get water."

Butcher Yun thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. You wait here for a while. We'll put the cut grass into the basket and then go back."

"Okay, Dad. You can take the mule cart and go to the official road to get water. It's more convenient than going up the mountain."

"If we walk through the mountains, it's far, difficult, and takes a lot of time."

"It will be much more convenient if we take the official road and then go up the mountain."

"Okay, I'll listen to Yiyi."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, hurry up and pack up, we will be back soon. Yiyi found the stone pond, and we have a place to get water."

"Dad, did we really find water? That's great."

"I didn't expect Yiyi to be so quick. She found the water without making a sound."

"Yeah, that's why I admire Yiyi the most for finding things in the mountains."

"Stop talking and pack the grass quickly. We'll get some water today so we can take a bath tonight."

Brother Yun's words immediately silenced everyone's discussion. It had been over half a month since anyone had a bath. In this kind of weather, they were practically going rancid.

Even if you take a shower every day, it doesn't help. Sweating too much and not washing clothes frequently are all problems.

After a busy day of work by Yun the Butcher and the three Yun brothers, they put all the cut grass into the baskets. The grass that couldn't fit in the baskets was tied into bundles and carried back.

Butcher Yun and the children quickly went down the mountain.

"Wife, I'm going to get some water with the children. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, then go ahead."

"I'll go talk to the village chief about this after I get some water. I'll go with Yiyi to get familiar with the route first."

Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, we need to find our way first."

Butcher Yun was driving a mule cart with three water jars from his family on it. Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were sitting outside the cart.

The three brothers of the Yun family carried baskets on their backs and walked outside the mule cart.

"Dad, it's not very far, and it's convenient to go up the mountain over there, and the road is easy to walk on."

"Yiyi, is the water in that pond clean?"

"Brother, I've already cleared the fallen leaves and dirt from the pond. However, the first few buckets of water I used to draw water from will definitely still be turbid."

"Yiyi, it's okay if the water is muddy. We can bring it back to feed the mules and donkeys. And the water is in the storage tank. If we leave it for a day, it will become clear."

"Dad, there's no need to go to all that trouble. The bottom of the stone pond is all rocky. The water we draw later will be clear water, clean and can be drunk directly."

Butcher Yun was very happy to hear this, "That's great."
