Chu Chenyin asked everyone to continue digging, and soon a black, sticky substance began to gush out of the pit.
Fu Qianhong squatted down, sniffed it, and immediately covered his nose and said, "Sister-in-law, this black stuff is not only smelly but also undrinkable. What are we digging it out for?"
Chu Chenyin didn't know how to explain this to her for a moment. After thinking for a while, he comforted her, "I've seen a book mentioning that black water is as valuable as gold. Now that we've dug it out, we might as well keep it. Maybe it can be used in the future."
Fu Yanting brought over a fence and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Since we have dug it out, we should keep it and fence off the land here."
Fu Kanghong nodded when he heard what his elder brother and sister-in-law said, and walked forward to help build the fence.
After sealing the oil entrance, Chu Chenyin and Fu Yanting then looked for several places.
No water source was found.
It seems that the water here has been wasted by Lieutenant General He.
At night, Chu Chenyin first returned to the barracks with Fu Yanting and others, informed Lord Fu and Madam Fu of what happened in the city, and then secretly got up and prepared to go to the city.
Fu Yanting, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened and hugged her from behind, "Where do you want to go?"
He held Chu Chenyin's waist tightly, and he held her tightly like an awakened wolfhound and refused to let go.
She patted the back of his hand gently and said, "I want to go back to Zi'an City."
Fu Yanting asked, "What are you doing there?"
Chu Chenyin replied: "We will move into the city tomorrow, but we haven't found a water source yet. I want to build a water tower in the city before my parents leave."
"Since it's a water tower, you can take me with you. Why are you leaving secretly?" Fu Yanting slowly let go of her and took the clothes beside him.
Chu Chenyin chuckled, "I haven't had time to call you yet, are you sober?"
Fu Yanting put on his clothes, turned around and held her in his arms, "Madam, do you want to dress yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
Chu Chenyin bit his shoulder and immediately broke free. He put on his clothes and said with a smile, "No, if you dawdle any longer, it will be dawn soon."
Fu Yanting turned his head to look at the teeth marks on his shoulder and gave a silly smile.
The two of them secretly left the tent and walked towards the city along a small path.
Normally they would go out to do their work when no one was around, but today Fu Xingcheng happened to go out to pee urgently and accidentally saw his elder brother and sister-in-law sneaking out of the tent.
He became puzzled, so he went into the house and woke up his third sister. The brother and sister followed Chu Chenyin and the others.
