Her gaze swept over the group, a hint of warning in her voice: "First, the journey is dangerous; you are responsible for your own safety. Second, I will only accept your immediate family members—parents, spouses, and children—if you bring them back. No one else will be accepted. Third, if any of you return with a criminal record or have caused trouble..."

She didn't continue.

"Understood! Understood! Thank you, young lady! Thank you for your great kindness!" Old Man Sun knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face.

"Thank you, young lady! We will definitely follow the rules! We will only bring our own family members!"

"We kowtow to you!" Several men also knelt down excitedly and kowtowed repeatedly!

"Get up! No kneeling!" Jiang Chan frowned and shouted, "I said it's pay for work, not charity! Anyone who kneels again won't get any food!"

The group scrambled to their feet, their faces beaming with ecstatic joy. They patted each other on the shoulder, stammering, "It's done! It's done! We can go pick up our families now!"

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" The news spread like wildfire! When the other villagers heard about it, they rushed over, excitedly expressing the same request to Jiang Chan! The riverside camp was instantly enveloped in immense joy and anticipation!

With the hope of bringing their loved ones home, everyone worked even harder!

However, the issue of grain and vegetable storage has always been a thorn in Jiang Chan's side.

The space was full, and the adobe houses in the deserted village had poor moisture protection, so the stored grains and vegetables could not be kept for long.

"Dig a cellar!" Jiang Chan ordered decisively. "Find a high, firm spot and dig deep! It'll be cool down there, and we can store things there!"

"Alright, girl!" Zhao Si was the first to respond. He was worried that he didn't have a chance to do more to repay the kindness, so he immediately led the new men, carrying hoes and shovels, and under the guidance of Old Man Sun, selected a solid slope on the edge of the camp.

"Dig deeper! At least one person deep!"

"Don't litter! Pile the soil up to the side! It'll be useful later!"

"Level the ground underneath! Leave room for ventilation!"

The shouts rang out again, hoes and shovels were wielded, and dirt flew everywhere.

Jiang Chan then turned her gaze back to the greenhouse. Leafy vegetables grow quickly, but they don't store well. Consumption can't keep up with production, and it would be a waste for them to rot. She looked at the seeds she had collected in her spatial storage, and then at the soil data scanned by the detector.

"Plant potatoes! Radishes!" Jiang Chan decided. "These two keep well!"

She took out the "Abundant" potato and radish seeds that the system had previously rewarded her with.

Turning the soil, making ridges, sowing seeds, covering with soil... In the greenhouse, potato chunks and radish seeds, symbolizing the hope of long-term storage, are quickly buried in the fertile soil.

Jiang Chan looked at the seed clumps and tiny seeds covered in soil, then at the crowd digging the cellar in the distance, sweating profusely, and then at Xiao Tao running around beside her, her face beaming with a carefree smile...

This riverside camp, amidst the interplay of bloodshed and tranquility, the sweat of old and new, the deep cellars and the newly planted seeds, is taking root and slowly growing with a tenacious and steadfast attitude, heading towards a direction that can accommodate more loved ones and store more hope.
