"What did you say? Hundreds of people are coming with tools to help dig a well?" Luo Xi was stunned when he heard this news.

She turned her head to look at the well, where there were more than fifty people gathered, digging soil, carrying mud, and passing tools; it was almost impossible to turn around.

If so many more people come, where will we put them? Stack them on top of each other?

Yin Li desperately suppressed the ever-growing corners of her lips: "Boss, how about I go and send them back?"

It was originally just a spur-of-the-moment thing by the boss, but it unexpectedly caused such a big fuss, it's really...

The others couldn't help but laugh.

How could Luo Xi not see their strange expressions? They didn't believe the well could produce water! Fine!

She thought for a moment and then said, "No need. You go and tell the people to find a place to wait. I'll tell them where to dig in a bit."

The following sentence was spoken to the guard who brought the message.

Since everyone is here, we can solve the water problem all at once without her having to gather any more people, which saves her trouble.

As for those who don't believe it, hmph!

After the guards left, Luo Xi called Liu Xiaoyu over and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to cook breakfast for the people who came to help. Remember, don't be stingy with the food; how can they dig if they're not full?"

Digging wells in ancient times was a physically demanding task.

Is the master serious? Liu Xiaoyu was full of doubts, but she still walked briskly towards the kitchen.

In short, it's always right to listen to your master.

"Boss, you're not going to dig again, are you?" Yin Li looked at Luo Xi with lingering fear.

It's not a big deal if you dig one hole and find no water. But if you dig eight or ten holes and still find nothing, then Chaoyang Manor will probably become famous again.

It's a name that people can still laugh about for a long time.

“Yes, a well isn’t convenient.” Lori ignored his hesitant expression and began to use her newly acquired ability to probe underground.

Now that groundwater has been found, things will be much simpler. She just needs to follow the direction of the water and find a suitable place to dig a well.

"Xiao Yi, listen to my command. You will lead a team to follow me. When I tell you where to dig, have your men mark it so that it is not marked incorrectly."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated out of the manor with a few leaps.

Before Xiao Yi could react, Luo Xi had already disappeared from sight, leaving him dumbfounded.

This, this...

"General Xiao, remember, you owe me a good drink." Over there, Baihu led a group of men in black and quickly caught up, leaving behind only a string of echoing laughter.

Xiao Yi: "..."

People who can fly are really annoying!

"Someone, hurry up and follow!"

This was a mission given to him by the chief, how could he let someone else steal it? He would lose face as a general.

Xiao Yi led a group of people and chased after them at top speed.

Those who remained in place, including Yin Li, were at a loss for words.

If things have gotten this big and we still can't find any water, then...

Yin Li was already thinking about what kind of excuse he should come up with to salvage the image of the chief in the hearts of the people if he couldn't dig up any water.

If all else fails, just say that Yin Li ordered him to do it, and that the head of the gang had no idea.

Wei Qing, however, trusted Luo Xi completely: "Don't worry, there's nothing the Boss can't do in this world."

Yin Li: "..."

Si Jia didn't know much about Luo Xi, but she still gently comforted everyone: "Perhaps... Chief Luo has other plans in mind."

This consolation sounds rather dry and unconvincing.

Several of Zhu Da's informants also shared this disbelief.

"The master also said that this Luo Xi is cunning and difficult to deal with, but I think she's just a fool."

"Exactly. If wells were really that easy to dig, why would so many people in Nanyue County be fleeing famine? They would all be digging their own wells at home."

"Yes, it usually takes a lot of effort to dig a well that produces water, but now it's a year of severe drought, so it's even more difficult. I don't know where Luo Xi got the confidence to dig so many in one go?"

"Hey, actually it's good this way. We don't even have to sabotage her. She'll just kill herself. It saves us a lot of trouble."

"That's true!"

The simple, honest people didn't care about all that; the head of the household always knew a lot and was good at many things.

Take that magical seed, for example. In the entire Tianqi, only Chaoyang Manor had it, which saved them from the suffering of hunger.

I wonder how many people are envious. I heard that a few days ago, many big shots from the county town tried to come and rob it, but thankfully, the boss killed them all.

Therefore, they just need to listen to the leader.

The people were even more moved when they learned that Rose had also arranged for breakfast to be prepared.

"Digging a well was clearly meant to help us find water, but the boss did it so meticulously."

"Yes, although Chaoyang Manor is a bandit group, they are much more benevolent than... unlike them, who only think about themselves and are pushing us to our deaths."

"Enough said, eat up. Eat more so you can do more work and repay the chief for saving your life."

"Yes, yes, we may not have much else, but we have plenty of strength, hahaha—"

By the time Luo Xi returned after finding the location, the people had finished eating and were gathered around the well-digging site. Those who could help did so, while those who couldn't squeeze in watched from afar and learned from the experience.

She nodded in satisfaction.

"Yin Li, Wei Qing, I'll leave this matter to you two. I've already had them mark out the locations for digging wells in the nearby villages and towns. If you don't have enough people, you can gather them yourselves."

She needs to go back and meditate to recover her powers; using too much mental energy has given her a headache.

"Don't worry, Chief." Wei Qing's handsome face was full of joy; the water problem was finally solved.
