After Xie Datou finished speaking, he picked up a horn from the side and quickly blew it.

This was a plan they devised before setting off: if there was any emergency, they would blow the horn, and the carriages that heard the horn would stop immediately.

To prevent the carriage in front from stopping and the carriage behind from noticing it and crashing into it, causing an ancient traffic accident.

After Xie Datou blew the horn, the carriages following him indeed slowly came to a stop.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

Why did it suddenly stop?

The people inside the carriage looked ahead in confusion, wanting to know what was happening.

Xie Datou quickly jumped off the carriage, banged on the gong he carried with him, and shouted loudly.

"Listen up, everyone. The boss wants us to go full speed ahead. Once we find a water source, we'll rest there. Do you all understand? If you understand, then get on the road immediately."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded vigorously. Since Boss Xu had spoken, how could they possibly object? They were definitely going to support him.

So the main force started moving again, but this time the speed of movement was much faster.

While driving the cart, Xie Datou asked worriedly, "Boss, should we find a shady spot to hide in, like we did when we were hiding from the flood?"

Xu Jinhuan shook his head and explained, "Datou, natural disasters are continuous. Even if we escape this drought, there will be other disasters in the future. We can't keep hiding forever."

Xie Datou also remembered what Xu Jinhuan had said before, and sighed upon hearing this, "It's really hard to live. If I hadn't met Boss, I don't know how many natural disasters I could have survived."

Xu Jinhuan looked out the carriage window at the blazing sun, seemingly talking to himself, or perhaps comforting Xie Datou.

"Even if fate doesn't give us a way to survive, we can't give up easily. I don't believe in fate, because this life is in my own hands."

Xie Datou nodded, his face full of agreement, and said, "Boss, you're right. I can't let fate defeat me so easily. A person's life is only a few decades long. I can't be a cowardly coward."

We must not only survive natural disasters, but also live fulfilling and vibrant lives!

Xu Jinhuan chuckled to himself; Xie Datou's choice of words was quite interesting.

Why not be energetic and lively during natural disasters?

"Big Head, you go ahead and catch the train. I need to do some calculations."

Upon hearing that his boss was about to begin the calculations, Xie Datou immediately shut his mouth and quietly drove the carriage, ensuring that the journey was both fast and quiet, so as not to disturb his boss.

Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan, inside the carriage, had the system Xiao Wang open a backdoor for him, accessing detailed maps of the nearby mountains and rivers, preparing to find a suitable place to fetch water.

After all, relying solely on these people to carry water in buckets is simply not enough to survive this drought.

After all, the carriage was moving at full speed, and the road wasn't all smooth. If it started to bump, the water would definitely spill.

Therefore, Xu Jinhuan planned to store some water in the space first, just in case.

[Host, there is a very deep river about twenty miles from here, and its water is cleaner and clearer than in other places. I suggest you choose that place to set up camp and fetch water.]

After a series of analyses and comparisons, System Xiao Wang shared his thoughts with Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan nodded silently after hearing this. She had actually been planning this after looking at the detailed map of the area. She didn't expect that Xiao Wang had the same idea as her. He was truly worthy of being her own little system.

Thinking of this, Xu Jinhuan pulled open the carriage curtain and said to Xie Datou, "Datou, head east. There is a suitable water source about twenty miles away."

Xie Datou nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, boss, I'll head east now."

After saying that, he blew the horn and turned the direction around.

Although the people in the other carriages were puzzled as to why the direction had suddenly changed, they immediately followed.

About an hour later, Xie Datou finally arrived near the river under Xu Jinhuan's guidance.

He cheerfully blew the horn in his hand, then stopped the carriage, quickly jumped off, and addressed everyone.

"Quiet down, everyone, listen to me!"

Those who had gotten off the carriage after a bumpy journey and were looking forward to relaxing immediately stopped talking when they saw Xie Datou's serious expression.

However, everyone was exchanging messages with their eyes.

"What's going on?"

"Why is Lord Xie so serious? Could something really serious have happened?"

"No way, we finally got through the floods, are we going to have a drought too?"

While everyone was exchanging glances and exchanging information, Xie Datou delivered news that sent everyone into a panic.

"I'm sure everyone knows how amazing our boss is, right? Back when it first started raining, he predicted there would be a flood, and some people didn't quite believe him at the time."

But look at the end, didn't the flood come?

A clever person understood Xie Datou's implication and asked hesitantly, "Lord Xie, could it be that there will be another natural disaster later?"

The others also looked at Xie Datou expectantly, hoping for a negative answer. Unfortunately, Xie Datou nodded heavily in front of everyone.

"Clang!"

Some elderly women, unable to withstand the shock of the news, rolled their eyes and fainted.

"mother!"

"Don't crowd together, I'm a doctor, let me take a look!"

Just as things were getting a little chaotic, Xie Guangbai came over carrying his medicine box.

He pushed aside the people around him, first pressing the old man's philtrum, then taking out silver needles from his medicine box and performing a simple acupuncture treatment.

While administering acupuncture, she didn't forget to remind everyone, "The old man is fine. Don't look at me, look at Big Head Brother. He hasn't finished speaking yet!"

Xie Guangbai's reminder brought back the shocking news that had just been circulating among the crowd.

Someone asked Xie Datou with concern, "Lord Xie, has Boss Xu said what kind of natural disaster is coming, and what we can do to help?"

The others immediately chimed in, "Boss Xu told us to get to a place with water as soon as possible. Could it be that there's going to be a drought later?"

"You know what, it's actually possible! We need to store water as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Boss Xu works so hard, we can't hold her back."

Xie Datou looked at the group who had started chatting amongst themselves, coughed helplessly, and reminded them.

The group, who were discussing animatedly, suddenly remembered that Lord Xie was standing in front of them. They quickly shut their mouths and waited for Lord Xie's instructions.

"The boss means we should store water as quickly as possible, as much as we can. At the same time, we should take advantage of the fact that it's not too hot yet and get on our way as soon as possible, otherwise we'll really be stuck in the outskirts of Beijing."
