Chapter 52: Finding Water



Shen Yu'an walked up to her father and reminded him, "It would be too slow if a large group of us searched together. Dad should go and discuss with the head of the village and have everyone search separately."

After saying that, she winked at him playfully.

Shen Rong saw his daughter's expression and instantly understood what she meant, and was also a little surprised.

He whispered, "Is there water in it?"

The inside he was referring to was naturally Chen Yu'an's "little treasure chest".

Shen Yu'an nodded at him, urging Shen Rong, who was stunned by the surprise, to speak quickly.

Shen Rong also came back to his senses immediately, realizing that it was inconvenient for his daughter to take it out, and wanted him to send the others away.

He walked briskly to the back of the team and found Shen Lizheng.

Seeing him coming, Shen Lizheng smiled and asked, "Shen Xiucai, what's the matter?"

"It's like this. There are so many of us. If we all go in one direction, it will not only waste time but also slow down our pace."

"If you are willing to join us in finding water, then each family can send a few people to go and look for water."

"Of course, if you want to find water by yourself, that's fine too. It's a waste of time if you keep following us. Just go find it somewhere else."

Shen Lizheng was stunned when he heard this. In simple terms, Shen Rong’s meaning was to follow them and listen to his methods, otherwise they would not give the water to the people of Shenjia Village even if they found it first.

I have to say, Shen Lizheng is telling the truth.

Before Shen Rong came to find Shen Lizheng, he had already thought about it. They had not yet left the area with severe drought and would not be able to find water.

But since his daughter said there was water, then we can definitely find it.

In the past, he would definitely think that he would help anyone in a village if he could, but after witnessing too many shameless behaviors along the way, Shen Rong decisively changed his mind.

He didn't want to follow them and get something for nothing.

Shen Lizheng also thought it made sense, so he agreed with Shen Rong's opinion.

Anyway, he was going to follow the Shen family. They were so powerful, it would be a shame not to take advantage of them.

There were also people from the Shen family who were watching the things on the spot, so he was not afraid that they would sneak away.

Soon, Shen Lizheng selected people to form seven teams. Together with the Shen family's team, there were a total of eight teams, and they searched in different directions.

On the Shen family's side, only Shen Yu'an, the three Shen brothers, and Dalang and Erlang went to look for water, while everyone else stayed where they were to guard the things.

Of course, following them were the brother and sister Wang Zhicai and Wang Xiaogu.

They picked a direction at random and set off.

But after searching for a long time, no water source was found. Wang Xiaogu kept complaining, but no one paid any attention to her.

But after a while she walked to Shen Dalang and started chattering.

"Brother Shen, why don't you talk to the village head and ask him to return to the team? Otherwise, it will be too dangerous."

"No!"

"Your family has sold so much food, is it enough to eat? If not, we can lend you some."

"Thank you, but no thanks!"

“…”

“…”

Wang Xiaogu kept chatting with Shen Dalang for no apparent reason, but Shen Dalang responded coldly without even looking at her.

At this moment, he was trying hard to look around, trying to find a suitable place for his sister to get the water.

Just before setting off, my sister spoke to them and asked them to distract the Wang siblings and find a suitable place to release the water.

After all, water is not food and can’t be just left on the ground.

Shen Dalang felt that the chattering woman beside him was almost annoying. He didn't notice that everyone was "looking for water".

But Wang Xiaogu didn't think so. Hearing Shen Dalang responding to every word he said, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

She tucked the fallen hair behind her ears with her hands and looked at Shen Dalang with shining eyes.

Her gaze was so hot that Shen Dalang, who was looking around, could no longer ignore it and could not help but look sideways.

Seeing Wang Xiaogu's confusing behavior, Shen Dalang kindly reminded him, "Well, if your hair is oily, don't touch it with your hands all the time, otherwise it will become even oilier. Also, do you have a cramp in your eyes?"

When Shen Dalang said this, not only Wang Xiaogu was stunned, but even Shen Yu'an couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her elder brother is too unromantic. The girl was looking at him so lovingly, but he actually said that she had a cramp in her eyes.

It's obvious that Wang Xiaogu is interested in her elder brother, but her elder brother obviously doesn't have that intention.

However, thinking about Wang Zhicai's identity and some of his actions in the later period, Shen Yu'an felt that it was good not to have anything to do with them...

And looking at Wang Xiaogu's red face, if it weren't for the dust covering it, it would probably be even redder. He couldn't be tired at this moment.

But it was true that her hair was oily, and when her eldest brother said that, Shen Yu'an couldn't help but touch her hair.

As soon as he touched Shen Yu'an, he quickly withdrew his hand.

Mmm...it's very oily.

But nowadays, people even save water when eating, so there is no water for washing.

Hearing Shen Yu'an's uncontrollable laughter, Wang Xiaogu stomped his feet in anger and returned to Wang Zhicai.

Wang Zhicai had just been staring at Shen Yu'an in a daze, and always felt that she was different from what he remembered.

Thinking of the pregnant Lin Chunyan, Wang Zhicai frowned.

It would be great if that person was Chen Yu'an.

After walking forward for a while, they still didn't find a suitable place.

Shen Yuan said: "It's too slow for us to search like this. Why don't we search separately? Maybe we can find it faster."

After saying that, he looked at Shen Dalang again, snickered with some ill intentions, "Then Dad and Big Brother will go with Mr. Wang and his sister."

In order to get rid of the Wang brothers and sisters, the eldest brother had to sacrifice himself.

Soon the eight of them separated, and Shen Yu'an, Shen Ming, Shen Yun and Shen Erlang continued to move forward.

Fortunately, their hard work paid off and the four of them quickly found a cave. After making sure there was no danger in the cave, they went in.

This should be a naturally formed cave. The cave is not small and you can walk more than ten meters inside.

There was nothing inside, but when Shen Yu'an walked deeper, he found a large pit with a small hole on it.

Shen Yu'an guessed that there used to be a spring here, but there is no water now due to the severe drought.

She walked forward and touched it. The naturally formed small pit was very smooth, and even if water was poured into it, it would not soak into the ground so quickly.

The few people who came in later were also a little surprised.

"Can this pit be used?" Shen Erlang asked excitedly.

"Okay, wait for me to put the water in and then go call someone over." Shen Yu'an said in a very good mood.

After cleaning up the pit a little, Shen Yu'an took out a barrel of water from the space and asked them to pour it in together.

Several people holding plastic buckets were very curious and asked Shen Yu'an what they were made of.

There were no plastic products at that time, so Shen Yu'an could only say that they were things from the old immortal.

They didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at it curiously for a long time.
