"Brother Setou, we are saved."

"Damn it, we have been searching for water for so long and still haven't found any. I didn't expect they actually found it."

"Brother Seto, let's go down the mountain quickly to inform the village head and the others."

They had been thirsty for a long time and, like the people in Xinghua Village, had reached the end of their rope.

"Yes." Wang Zetou nodded and looked at one of them, "Go down the mountain and inform them."

The man went down the mountain without stopping, not daring to delay for a quarter of an hour.

"Brother Seto, how do we deal with these two?"

Da Zhuangnai noticed the murderous intent in the other person's eyes and his heart trembled.

"No, don't kill us."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you now."

Wang Zetou's words are double entendres.

On the other side, Su Yin waited under the tree. The water in her water bag was full, but no one showed up.

After an incense stick of time, she heard a sound coming from behind the rocks. She hid behind the rocks and only walked out after confirming that the sound was made by a human or one of her own.

When everyone saw Su Yin, they greeted her enthusiastically.

"Good job, Su girl."

"Su girl, you've worked hard."

…

Everyone walked onto the platform, their eyes drawn to the crack below the huge stone wall. They saw drops of water flowing out of the crack, dripping onto the ground below, and were quickly absorbed by the soil, disappearing without a trace.

“There is water.”

"God has opened his eyes and left us a way to survive."

"I thought I was going to die of thirst, but now I don't have to."

Yang Lizheng looked at the water dripping into the soil, feeling distressed, and urged: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get some water."

With this rate of water flow, it would take quite a while for everyone in the village to fill up all their containers. At least there would be no way to hurry today.

For water, they had to stay for half a day and set off again tomorrow morning.

Su Yin was the one who found the water. No one rushed to get it, but instead let the Su family take the water first.

Su Baozhu took the lead and placed the bucket below to collect water.

Su Yin learned about the village chief's arrangement from her uncle and nodded continuously.

It's good this way, no one will notice them and they will be much safer.

"Third Grandfather, the water flow here is too small. Judging from the speed of water dripping, it will take at least several days to fill all the water containers in the village."

Su Yin was very reserved for several days.

While waiting for them to come, she used her water bladder to do some calculations.

Calculate based on the capacity of the water bag and the time it takes to be filled.

It is no exaggeration to say that it would take one or two days just to fill her three buckets and four water bags.

Take one of the buckets in her house for example. The capacity of the bucket is about 38 liters, and the water bag is about 600 milliliters. It takes about a quarter of an hour to fill it with 600 milliliters of water.

Thirty-eight liters is equal to three hundred and eighty thousand milliliters, which is approximately equal to sixty-three water bags.

A water bag lasts for a quarter of an hour, so a bucket of water lasts for about fifteen hours, which is nearly six hours.

She has three buckets of similar size at home, and it takes a long time to fill them up.

"I just calculated the time. It will take about a quarter of an hour to fill my water bag."

Few people in the village can count, but with the water bags for comparison, they can easily understand that it would be very difficult to allow the whole village to have water freedom with this little bit of water, unless they are willing to stay here for a few days.

But they didn't have that much time to stay, not to mention that no one could guarantee that the water drops here would remain there forever, in case they suddenly stopped one day.

There are risks involved.

The smiles on the faces of those who were so happy just now faded a lot and they were no longer as optimistic as before.

Yang Lizheng nodded and thought, "We can't stay here for too long."

Aunt Wang's husband said, "At most, each family can decorate less. Walk faster tomorrow during the day, and don't even take a rest at noon."

Some people disagreed, "We walk fast every day, not daring to stop for even a quarter of an hour on the road, and only take a break at noon when the sun is at its hottest. Now we have to hurry again, we adults can handle it, but the children can't."

In fact, everyone’s pace is faster now, and they walk as fast as they can.

Everyone is the same and no one complains.

Many young children could not catch up, and the adults could only put them on carts or carry them on their backs.

It's not so easy for the older children.

Many children had severe leg pain and blisters on the soles of their feet after walking for a day.

"This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. What should I do?"

"If we only get that little water, it won't be long before we run out of water again. By then, we won't even be able to lift our legs, let alone walk."

What everyone says makes sense, and everyone has his own scale in his heart to weigh what is more important.

Yang Lizheng looked at Su Yin, "Su girl, what do you say?"

"I do have a solution, but it has certain risks."

Everyone fell silent, waiting for her to speak.

Master Wan San was sitting under a tree, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, watching her with interest.

He also wanted to see who she would side with in this dilemma, or if there was a better way to solve the two problems.

"I just observed the nearby terrain and this stone. I guess there is an underground river or a spring behind this stone wall. We now have a way, which is to pry this crack a little bigger."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Oh, why didn't I think of that."

"Yes, yes, the hole where water drips is small, so why not make it bigger?"

Su Yin is not as optimistic as they are.

She didn't study geology, so she couldn't guarantee that her efforts would be in vain or that the only water would be destroyed.

"Su girl, is there anything wrong with this method?"

"I can think of two things at the moment. First, I can't guarantee that the water will increase after the cracks in the rocks are enlarged. Maybe it will remain the same, and then we will have done nothing and wasted time collecting water."

"Secondly, I'm worried that if we hit the stone wall here, it will damage the structure inside. If the spring is shaken like this and stops flowing, it will be a waste of effort."

"It depends on what everyone wants to do."

In the face of such a major event, Su Yin would not make decisions for everyone.

Master Wan San's eyes lit up slightly. This girl has thought very comprehensively.

It must be said that these three options all have their pros and cons, especially Su Yin's third option. If it succeeds, it will be a step to heaven. If it fails, it may be a total loss.

Compared with the previous two options, this one is a big gamble.

Master Wan San waited calmly, without saying a word or expressing any opinions.

Yang Lizheng looked at everyone and said, "You have all seen the current situation. Everyone, please tell us what you think."
