Lin Ru was startled and quickly hid. She was on a hillside, some distance from the village!

She gained such hearing and vision only after drinking the pills given by the system and being nourished by the spiritual spring water!

She was certain she hadn't made a sound, yet the man had spotted her solely by her breathing!

This is absolutely terrifying!

The water source was right in front of her, but the enemy was too powerful, and she was just about to leave!

Then a cold, menacing voice was heard!

"Master Huang! We are only responsible for protecting you, not for killing for you! If you are unwilling to give us food, that's fine too! Then our deal ends here! I'll leave with my men immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Master Huang's expression immediately darkened!

"Wu Ling! Are you sure you want to leave me with your men? If you leave me, no one will be able to support such a large group of you!"

"If you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your people!"

Wu Ling's gaze was fixed firmly on the mountain beside him!

"Then you don't need to worry about it!"

Seeing his unwavering resolve, Master Huang was momentarily unsure. Was he just saying it in anger? Had he really made up his mind?

So he could only soften his voice and say, "Young clan leader! I was just joking! Since you are unwilling, I will not force you!"

"Giving them a well is my way of doing good!"

Wu Ling replied expressionlessly, "These two wells should be enough for you. Give the other one to the refugees who need it!"

Master Huang looked very unwell, but he didn't say much!

The refugees who heard this were overjoyed and thanked Master Huang and Wu Ling!

But Lin Ru always felt that Wu Ling was telling the refugees in need that he was talking to her!

This made her uneasy, but then she remembered the people in Shili Village who were almost dying of thirst!

She should go back and tell her grandfather the news, and let him decide.

Unbeknownst to her, when she opened this place, a flicker of panic crossed the face of the man named Wu Ling! But it vanished in an instant!

When Lin Ru returned, she saw that everyone had stopped!

They sat in a circle, as if someone had fainted!

She pushed through the crowd and went inside, where she saw a young man giving acupuncture to someone lying on the ground!

If she wasn't mistaken, this person should be her third great-uncle's son!

The moment the needle went in, the person on the ground instantly regained consciousness!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they saw Lin Ru return!

They all stepped forward to ask if a water source had been found!

Lin Ru thought for a moment and said, "We found it, but there are guards there! If we go there, we'll probably face a fierce battle!"

Upon hearing about the fierce battle, the villagers immediately fell silent!

Lin Ru continued, "Anyway, if you want to go, I'll take you there. If you don't want to, then keep looking ahead to see if there are any other water sources!"

At this moment, Diao Yan and Xue Bao and the others also rushed back, but they found nothing. Lin Ru repeated what he had just told the villagers to them!

Diao Yan and Xue Bao immediately said they wanted to go and give it a shot!

"We're all going to die of thirst if we can't find water anyway! So we might as well give it a shot before we die of thirst! If we succeed, we'll have a chance to survive!"

The villagers behind heard this and agreed, and they all expressed their desire to go over!

So, led by Lin Ru, they walked for almost two hours before finally arriving at the village!

They were stopped as soon as they reached the village entrance. The people who stopped them were not the landlord's men, but another group of refugees!

"This place is already taken! If you want to find somewhere else to stay for the night, you'd better look for another place!"

Bai Chengye looked at the group of refugees with a smile on his face!

"Young man! We heard there's a well in this village! We've been thirsty all this way! Let us in for a drink of water! Or we can just get some water and leave!"

The group of refugees sneered!

"Where did you hear that? There's a well here! We've been thirsty all the way here and haven't had any water! If you want to find water, you should go somewhere else!"

The villagers of Shili Village looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

They were all a little doubtful that there really was no water inside, but it wouldn't make sense for a village not to have a single well, and Lin Ru wouldn't lie to them!

Lin Ru was speechless. Just now, they were all humble and subservient to that group of obviously powerful people, but when they encountered these obviously weaker refugees from Shili Village, they acted all high and mighty and even blocked the entrance to the village to prevent them from entering!

She thought she was bound to fight the landlord's men, and was a little scared, but now she hadn't even seen Wu Ling's face before being stopped!

I originally wanted to have a proper discussion with them, but now there's no point in even discussing it anymore!

Enraged, she pulled a large knife from under the donkey cart and swung it with lightning speed. The knife sliced ​​off a lock of hair from the man opposite her and stopped right in front of him!

"I'm asking you now, do you still have a well?!"

The man was terrified when he saw the knife so close to him and the shredded hair on the ground. He screamed and collapsed to the ground!

The commotion immediately attracted the refugees from the village. When they saw Lin Ru holding a large knife and pointing it at their own people, they rushed over in a fit of rage!

At this moment, everyone in Shili Village who had a knife took it out and assumed a defensive stance!

The refugees were terrified when they saw that the refugees all had weapons in their hands!

Just then, a man dressed in tattered beggar's clothes walked over!

This man was probably sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tall and straight figure like an ancient pine tree! His aura was as vigorous as the blazing sun! His body was imposing, and his appearance was dignified! Beneath his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars, sparkling with surprise!

Although Lin Ru couldn't see Wu Ling's face clearly from a distance, she was certain! This person was Wu Ling!

She immediately became alert, gripping the hilt of her knife tightly. As she watched him approach step by step, Lin Ru's muscles tensed even more!

Unexpectedly, the man simply pointed at Lin Ru and the others, and said to the refugees opposite, "Give them the other well!"

Lin Ru?

She was right; those words were meant for her!

Hearing this, the group of refugees opposite were very unwilling, but they were forced by Wu Ling to give up the other well.

Bai Chengye expressed his deepest gratitude!

But Wu Ling didn't say anything, he just gave Lin Ru a deep look and left!

Lin Ru was completely baffled!

When the villagers of Shili Village saw the well, chaos erupted as they rushed towards it in a frenzy!

I wish I could jump right into this well and have a good drink!

Bai Chengye frowned and shouted!

"Everyone line up, one at a time. Don't push. If you push someone off the line, then nobody will get to drink this water!"

"Let's rest here tonight! Everyone will have a chance to drink water!"

Upon hearing this, the villagers tacitly made way for Bai Chengye!

"Village chief, you guys go first! We'll line up after you're done!"

Seeing their kindness, Bai Chengye felt a warmth in his heart and didn't stand on ceremony. He had his four sons fill two large buckets, then found a family to carry the water inside so they could cook!

Seeing that everyone was still safe, Lin Ru wanted to see if she could find any nearby, or if there were any medicinal herbs or the like!

She gets some things, puts them up for sale on Taobao, and then exchanges them for seeds to plant in the land in her space!

She's starting to regret selling that health-enhancing pill; getting a black iron token is useless!

She sighed, took the iron plate out of her spatial storage, and examined it from all angles.

I didn't figure out what was going on, but I still put it in!

When she looked up again, she saw that Wu Ling had appeared at the door at some point and was staring straight at her!
