"Give me a hand."

Li Changlong reached out and, without much effort, pulled Lu Qiqi out of the pit.

Before anyone could ask, Lu Qiqi spread out the mud she was holding in her left hand for everyone to see.

The yellowish-white mud and sand, mixed with small pebbles, was dry and not a drop of moisture in sight.

Niu Dahang stretched out his hands, and Lu Qiqi poured all the sand and mud in her hands into his palms.

Niu Dahang held the sand and mud in his trembling hands, his face looking indescribably pale.

He said, "It's all sand and mud down here, how can we possibly survive?!"

Li Changlong stepped forward, watched as Niu Dahang slowly squatted down, and then whispered in Lu Qiqi's ear, "Qiqi, in this situation in Tianping Village, can crops still be grown?"

Lu Qiqi shook her head silently.

Such land is simply unsuitable for growing crops.

The pit dug by the four villagers was about 1.78 meters deep, according to Lu Qiqi's own height plus her arm's length.

Crops are usually grown in paddy fields.

No matter how abundant the external water source is, a field that does not retain water cannot compare to a field with good water retention in terms of crop yield.

In times when technology was underdeveloped, it was possible to have no harvest at all.

That's just how things are underground; it can't be changed, but that doesn't mean there aren't other paths to take.

After thinking it over, Lu Qiqi decided that it would be fine not to plant crops on this land in the future.

Just as she was about to tell Niu Dahang the plan, she suddenly heard someone shout.

"Village chief, he's fainted!"

The one who shouted was one of the men who had dug the pit earlier; he was now clinging to the village chief's shoulder, preventing him from lying flat on the ground.

Seeing this, Lu Qiqi quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and took Niu Dahang's pulse.

While taking Niu Dahang's pulse, Lu Qiqi examined his complexion, noting that his face was slightly bluish and his lips were pale.

Even when he fainted and lost consciousness, his brows remained furrowed.

Seeing that he was clutching his chest with his right hand, and based on her pulse diagnosis, Lu Qiqi could conclude that Niu Dahang had fainted because of chest tightness and shortness of breath, and because he had learned that Tianping Village had no hope of making a living in the future.

In this situation, acupuncture is too late.

Therefore, she quickly avoided everyone's gaze, used her mind to retrieve the heart pills from her spatial storage, and then pretended to carry them with her.

He took out a small red porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured a small, bright red pill into his palm.

Then, Lu Qiqi pinched Niu Dahang's nose with one hand and fed him the nitroglycerin pill with the other.

After a moment, Niu Dahang's brows relaxed, and Lu Qiqi took his pulse again.

"It's alright now."

Many eyes were drawn to Lu Qiqi, and everyone relaxed their shoulders after she uttered those three words.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to discuss the future plans for Tianping Village.

So Lu Qiqi said to the four men, "Let's send Village Chief Niu back first."

Tell him when he wakes up that he feels fine, then tell him to come find me in Tianxin Village. I have a way to get the land in Tianping Village.”

The four men also wanted to know if there was any way to solve the problem, but they dared not ask.

After all, Lu Qiqi's status is different now. If they say something wrong, they will make a big mistake.

The village chief was carried back to the village by four men, while Lu Qiqi and Lu Da wandered around the grounds of Tianping Village.

Tianping Village has a flat terrain. Originally, there was a river here, but it was gradually transformed into farmland after the riverbed shifted.

Numerous irrigation ditches meander smoothly along the ridges of the fields.

Lu Qiqi walked to the edge of the ditch. The water was crystal clear. She put her hand into the ditch and instantly felt a cool sensation.

After washing her hands, Lu Qiqi was about to shake off the water when she suddenly saw a handkerchief appear in front of her.

"Thank you, Second Brother." Lu Qiqi took the handkerchief and wiped her hands.

As noon approached and the sun grew stronger, Lu Qiqi, Lu Da, and Li Changlong returned to Tianxin Village.

On their way back, the three chatted. According to Lu Da, there was a small river near Tianping Village that was always full of water and never showed any signs of drying up.

This was undoubtedly good news, reinforcing Lu Qiqi's confidence and solidifying her resolve.

The three returned to Tianxin Village, and Lu Qiqi invited Lu Da to go back and have dinner together.

Lu Da, thinking that he would be going to Tianlong Village with Lu Qiqi in the afternoon, did not refuse.

The three returned to the courtyard, but the door was locked.

Judging from the situation, Lu Qiqi knew that Zhou Yi and Doctor Luo had not returned yet.

Li Changlong stepped forward, opened the courtyard gate, and said, "Please sit down and rest for a while. I will prepare the meal soon."

Lu Qiqi shook her head and said, "Too much trouble, let's just have pancakes instead."

Li Changlong nodded and went to the kitchen to get the dough, preparing to make pancakes.

Lu Da, of course, didn't sit idle either; he went to the kitchen to help with the fire.

Lu Qiqi went back to her room, closed the door, and then entered her spatial dimension.

Upon entering the space, Lu Qiqi went straight to the cabin, where she remembered storing many seeds.

She originally planned to plant these seeds using the extraordinary growing environment of the space, and then irrigate them with spiritual spring water to improve the local grain varieties and achieve high yields.

Then the improved seeds will be sold.

In this way, the people can not only avoid the situation of exchanging children for food and eating each other, as was the case when they fled famine.

She could also make a fortune and realize her dream of living in a villa in the mountains sooner.

However, things didn't go as planned. Before she could put her plan into action, Heshun Prefecture forcibly conscripted her as a doctor and brought her to Tianxin Village, leaving her with a mess to clean up.

Even if it's a mess, she'll turn it into something useful!

Make her a fortune!
