Yun Yiyi walked around the village, hands behind her back, and discovered there were only two brick houses: the one they had just settled in, and the other in the very center of the village. There stood an old locust tree. Although its leaves had all fallen, its vast crown was still visible. One could imagine that in years of heavy rain, the tree's lush branches and leaves would have blanketed a vast expanse of ground. In the evening, the elderly gathered under the tree, chatting, while the children played nearby, a delightful sight.
About 10 meters from the old locust tree, there's a well. It's large, with a circular mouth and a roof made of large stone slabs. Looking inside, you can see the stone walls, also covered in lush green moss. The well is deep, perhaps over 20 meters, and it's hard to tell whether there's water at the bottom. However, sticking your head in, you can feel a distinct dampness and coolness. There's probably still water in there, but it's unlikely to be much.
Now everyone was busy packing up and cooking, and no one was out and about. Yun Yiyi thought, well, I could put some water in the well in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, and tell the village chief tomorrow morning so everyone could have water.
Yun Yiyi circled the well a few more times, memorizing the route. She continued toward the end of the village. As she walked, she heard a child's clear voice. "Nurse, you should rest a while. I'll just pack up. You've suffered so much taking care of me all this way." "Young Master, I raised you from childhood. I certainly love you the most," an old woman's intermittent voice came over.
Yun Yiyi took a few steps forward and found a small, isolated house with a thatched roof. There were no other residents within a few dozen meters. Yun Yiyi scurried to the door, placed the 20 or so potatoes and a can of water she had taken from the space next to it, and knocked hard.
Then, he quickly entered the space. Looking out through the space, the child opened the door, glanced at the things on the ground, looked around, and found that no one was there, so he quickly put the things away. After a while, a low voice could be heard from inside.
Yun Yiyi drank two large bowls of water in the space, rested for ten minutes, and then quickly left the space and returned home. When she got home, she found that Zhang had already prepared the meal. She cooked a small pot of porridge, fried a plate of pickled vegetables, heated up the steamed pancakes, and cut up two salted duck eggs. It was a really rich meal.
"Mom, we've had such a delicious meal today," Third Brother Yun said happily. "Yes, it's a rare opportunity to rest in the village today, so let's eat a little better. We don't know where we'll rest tomorrow." With that, Zhang invited everyone to eat. The meal was simple, but it tasted delicious. After a while, after the meal, Zhang brought over the medicine she had prepared for Yun Yiyi. By this time, the medicine had already cooled. Yun Yiyi picked up the bowl and gulped it down in one gulp.
After drinking the medicine, Yun Yiyi felt that her mouth was full of the taste of medicine, which was too bitter. Zhang gave Yun Yiyi a handful of peanuts and asked her to eat them to suppress the taste of the medicine in her mouth. Fortunately, the medicine was almost finished. Yun Yiyi thought thankfully. After a while, everyone went to rest. The family they stayed in today had three bedrooms, and Yun Yiyi insisted on sleeping in her own room. Unable to persuade her, Zhang let her sleep by herself. The three Yun brothers slept in the remaining bedroom. Although it was a bit crowded, they could sleep comfortably.
Yun Yiyi slept in bed for a while, then moved into the space. First, she went to check on the corn and peanuts she had planted. The corn couldn't be harvested yet, but the peanuts would probably be ready in 10 days. She took another shower and washed and hung her dirty clothes. Then she played forty minutes of back-breaking exercise. This activity made her sweat all over again. Yun Yiyi had no choice but to take another shower. After the shower, she estimated that it was almost midnight, so she left the space.
She gently opened the door, crouched down, and walked step by step to the gate. She slowly unbolted the bolt, opened the gate a little, and slowly moved outside. Yun Yiyi turned back and gently closed the door. She leaned on the door panel and listened. No one noticed her coming out. She quickly ran towards the center of the village. Fortunately, there was a moon tonight, and the road could be seen clearly. At this time, it was the most sleepy time, and everyone was fast asleep. The village was also very quiet.
Yun Yiyi quickly arrived at the well. She circled around the old locust tree and the well and found no one around. She reached the well and put her hand to the mouth of the well, letting the water in the space flow through her fingers into the well. The water flow was not strong, and Yun Yiyi lay on the edge of the well until it felt like two hours. Yun Yiyi thought that the water in the well should be enough for tomorrow morning, so she stopped the water. She stretched her head to look into the well. Great, she could see the moon in the water. She clapped her hands and walked back.
She walked back to the door and heard no sound from inside, so she thought no one had noticed she was missing. She went in without worry and lay down on the bed to sleep. Oh, this night was really busy.
When you're tired, you sleep soundly. The next day, Yun Yiyi opened her eyes to hear Zhang calling her to get up and eat. She dressed, washed up briefly, and quickly went to eat. This morning, Zhang had made a dumpling soup with egg drops, which smelled delicious. She also fried some pickles and hot pancakes, and everyone ate heartily.
After dinner, Zhang once again watched Yun Yiyi finish her medicine. Zhang told Yun Yiyi that she still had two doses of medicine to take. After finishing it today, she would not need to take it again tomorrow. Yun Yiyi jumped up happily. Then, Yun Yiyi helped Zhang wash the dishes. Yun the butcher took the three Yun brothers to pack up their things and load them into the car. Yun Yiyi was thinking of finding an excuse to go out and spread the news that there was water in the well. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Zhang went to open the door. After a while, she happily came to the yard.
