Hearing Lu Shiyan's words, the villagers all breathed a sigh of relief. It was clear that Lu Shiyan was a capable man.
In any case, having him paving the way is better than me wandering around like a fly.
Village Chief Song's eyes welled up with tears, and he said excitedly, "Thank you for your trouble! It's a blessing for our Dawan Village to have a young man like you. You will be the village chief from now on—"
Lu Shiyan stopped him, saying, "Village Chief Song, I'm not good at handling village affairs. You should be the village chief. Don't say that again."
“That’s right!” Village Chief Song nodded as he looked at Liu Chengjun and the others who had voluntarily followed Lu Shiyan. “You’re destined for great things.”
In this chaotic world, with Lu Shiyan's abilities, he could easily become a high-ranking official if he wanted to go out and make his way in the world. Why would he care about being a village chief?
He didn't say anything more, took the knife and went over to continue helping to butcher the wild boar.
Lu Shiyan planned to take advantage of the fact that it was still dark and quickly go to scout out a water source.
Jiang Tangtang ran over with the water bottle and handed it to him, saying, "Husband, have some water first!"
Lu Shiyan took the water, his gaze falling on her feet, and asked with concern, "Are your feet feeling better?"
Jiang Tangtang blinked and said in a pitiful, coquettish voice, "It hurts so much."
Lu Shiyan was a little at a loss and subconsciously reached out to help her. "Then you go sit down and rest first. I'll find some medicine to treat your injuries later."
Jiang Tangtang snuggled into his arms, "No, I'll go with you too."
The soft body in his arms, along with its faint fragrance, made Lu Shiyan's usually aloof expression even more unnatural. "There are a lot of people here, so stand still. I'll carry you in a bit."
Jiang Tangtang deliberately acted coquettishly, saying, "My feet hurt, I can't stand steadily."
"Then you can sit down first." Lu Shiyan helped her sit down and went to get the water bag.
Jiang Tangtang mentally called out to the system, "Is he moved? Has he fallen in love with me?"
Not yet.
Just as Jiang Tangtang was about to give up, the system added, "[However, you gained reputation points by leading a group to catch wild boars today, which unlocked a career side quest. You can also add career points when you pursue your career in the future.]"
Jiang Tangtang asked sincerely, "What's the use of career points?"
[Besides unlocking random rewards like character points, career points can also be used to increase storage space.]
Jiang Tangtang's eyes brightened slightly. "The storage space you're talking about, is it the storage space I understand?"
Yes, like a mustard seed space, time stands still inside, and things placed inside will not decay or rot.
Jiang Tangtang felt that God at least had some conscience, giving her two useful cheat codes for transmigrating.
But wait, given the system's cunning, would it let her use such a good thing so casually?
How many points are needed to use storage space?
[Of course, the more career points the host has, the larger the space that can be opened. Currently, you only have ten points, so you cannot open the space yet.]
Jiang Tangtang sneered. She knew the system wouldn't be that generous. [How many points are needed to unlock it?]
[100 points can unlock one square meter of space; the more points you have, the larger the space you can unlock.]
After learning about how to earn points from the system, Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but start thinking about it.
After Lu Shiyan squatted down in front of her with the water bag, Jiang Tangtang climbed on top of him. She opened the search system and selected the water source.
Although Lu Shiyan was carrying her on his back, he was still moving very fast, and the scanning range was constantly being refreshed.
After walking dozens of miles along the canyon, the system finally indicated that a water source had appeared.
Unlike the usual system prompts indicating a small amount of water, this time the map showed a large green area, indicating that there was plenty of water.
Jiang Tangtang was excited. "Husband, let's try going down that side road. It looks quite interesting."
Lu Shiyan had already noticed Jiang Tangtang's unusual behavior and guessed that the route she pointed out was probably related to the water source. He didn't ask any further questions and followed the direction Jiang Tangtang indicated.
After passing through a relatively narrow crevice, the road ahead suddenly widened, and further ahead, there was a river.
The river is clearly affected by the drought, as evidenced by the rocks on both banks, which have significantly lowered the water level.
Even though the water level has dropped significantly, the river still has enough water for the entire village.
"Husband, put me down quickly." Jiang Tangtang was overjoyed. She had been living in a drought for so long since she transmigrated, but now there was finally water.
As soon as Lu Shiyan put her down, she happily took off her shoes and socks and stepped into the river.
The cool water washed over her ankles, and Jiang Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief. It felt so good to be in the water.
Thinking about her newly created side quest, Jiang Tangtang quickly opened the search system, typed in a few words about what was edible, and instantly the map was filled with markings. Besides wild vegetables in the wasteland and birds and beasts in the mountains, there were also fish and shrimp in the river.
Jiang Tangtang felt that this place was not only suitable for staying temporarily to rest, but also suitable for cultivating wasteland and settling down here.
She can do side quests without having to suffer the hardships of war outside.
At the same time, Lu Shiyan was also considering the possibility of resettling the villagers here.
The people of Dawancun have been on the road for far too long. Many children are starving, and the elderly are barely able to keep up. They are really not suited for long journeys.
Now that war has broken out, it's hard to find a safe haven outside. It would be better to lead the villagers to find a place to settle in the mountains.
After washing himself with river water, Lu Shiyan said, "You play here for a while, I'll go take a look around the neighborhood."
Jiang Tangtang guessed that he wanted to see if the nearby terrain was suitable for settling the villagers, and nodded obediently, which was rare for her.
In fact, Lu Shiyan considered things much more than Jiang Tangtang. He not only had to look at the surrounding terrain to see if it was suitable for the villagers to settle down, but also the source and course of the river to see if there were other routes that could lead to the outside world more quickly.
Jiang Tangtang didn't think as much as Lu Shiyan. After Lu Shiyan left and she made sure it was safe around her, she took off her clothes and planned to take a shower.
Although I washed up in the cave yesterday, I had traveled a lot and sweated a lot afterward, so my clothes and shoes were covered in sweat and dust.
Jiang Tangtang is clean, and since this place is secluded and there's no one else around, she simply took off her clothes and took a good bath.
After getting into the river, Jiang Tangtang discovered that although it wasn't wide, it was deeper than she had expected. Despite being nearly 1.7 meters tall, she couldn't even touch the bottom.
However, she wasn't worried. She was a good swimmer and, because she was interested in diving, she even got a diving certification.
She had more fun in the deeper water.
Lu Shiyan never expected that he would see this scene when he rushed back to give her a talisman he had hastily carved out of wood because he was worried that he had gone too far and left her alone by the river in danger.
