Chapter 62 Surprise
After Xu Zhiyi had listened to more than ten places, he finally heard something wrong in one place! There seemed to be a subtle sound of water flowing inside. After pulling away the grass around, he found a little water coming out of the mountain wall. He was sure that there was a spring inside.
Xu Zhiyi: "Hurry up and get your hoes over here and dig up this part of the mountain wall."
"ah???"
Xu Zhiyi: "Hurry up, there might be a spring in here"
When the seven people heard this, their eyes widened, they came to their senses, ran over with hoes, and started digging with all their might.
When they dug to a depth of half a meter, they actually saw a small stream of water coming out, and the seven of them cheered excitedly.
"Xu's sister, there is really water, look, there is water"
"Great! Woohoo! We are all saved!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, keep digging, the water flow should be stronger."
"Why"
Half a quarter of an hour later, seeing the water level rising, Xu Zhiyi reminded them, "Tell a few of you to go back and tell the head of the village that we have found a water source. Ask them to bring buckets or water bags to fetch water."
"Sister Xu, let's leave a few more people to accompany you!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi shook his head and said, "No need. Just leave one person to continue digging. When you guys bring the stuff over, we can get some water! Go quickly and come back soon. Don't worry! We have walked all over this place just now! There won't be any big insects here."
"Oh, all right!"
"Let's go, let's run back and tell the villagers the good news."
The six of them ran back, and saw that two teams had just returned disappointed.
"Village head, good news! Village head, the Xu family's sister has found a water source!"
The head of the village was so excited that he couldn't believe it. He trembled and confirmed whether he had heard it wrongly: "What??? You...you say it again"
"Village head, the girl from the Xu family has found a water source. She asked the six of us to come back and inform everyone to get some water."
The village head finally believed that he was not hallucinating, and then quickly shouted to the villagers: "Great news, our Liuhe Village's great hero Xu Zhiyi has found a water source, everyone quickly take the water container to get water!"
When the villagers heard this, they jumped up excitedly, then quickly picked up the wooden buckets and excitedly followed the six people.
Shen Wuyou saw that everyone was carrying wooden buckets and followed, so he also took the wooden bucket from the cart, looked at Su Shi and said, "Mom, I will follow the villagers to get water."
Su also understood that everyone was going to get water, so their family must not be the exception, and nodded to Shen Wuyou: “Okay, go! Changan and I will just watch the items here.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou hurriedly followed behind the villagers.
The head of the village followed the six men and walked in the front. Behind them followed a villager from each family who came to fetch water. There were fifty households in total, which meant fifty people. They came in a grand procession, and everyone had a hopeful smile on their face.
When everyone came to Xu Zhiyi, they became excited when they saw the water slowly flowing out from the mountain wall.
The village head glanced at Shen Wuyou and said loudly: “Since this water was found by Xu Zhiyi, let’s let Shen Erlang take the water first. Do you have any objection to this request?”
Except for Xu Lei and Shen Ercheng who were extremely reluctant, the other villagers said there was no problem.
Seeing this, Shen Wuyou didn't hesitate and immediately took the lead to get the water. The water was thin, so it would take a little time to get a bucket.
After Xu Zhiyi saw Shen Wuyou fill his cup with water, he looked at the villagers who were vying to be the second one, thought for a moment, and still said nothing.
The village head watched as the villagers were secretly competing with each other over who would take the second call, and immediately shouted, "Stop it, everyone, line up. Anyone who resists will be kicked out of the team."
Now, the villagers rushed over to line up.
Xu Zhiyi patted Shen Wuyou’s shoulder: “Wuyou, let’s go back first”
"good"
After the two walked for a while, a pheasant suddenly flew out from the bushes and flew directly in front of Xu Zhiyi. When it reacted, it tried to spread its wings and run away, but Xu Zhiyi, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, pounced on it and hugged it tightly in his arms.
Xu Zhiyi was also very excited when looking at the pheasant in her arms. She had just muttered in her heart that she wanted to eat pheasant meat, and then this pheasant appeared.
This scene happened to be seen by the villagers who had just collected water and were following Xu Zhiyi. When they saw Xu Zhiyi actually catching a pheasant, they immediately became envious.
Then I quickly looked around, maybe there are more, maybe more than one?
However, they were disappointed after all. They did not see any chickens around. Looking at the big pheasant in Xu Zhiyi's arms, they suddenly felt a little sour and several of them began to make sarcastic remarks.
"Hey, how come the more disrespectful people are to their elders, the better their luck will be?"
"How can it be bad? He's very cunning and has everything planned out!"
"That's right, no wonder some people are so eager to leave first, it turns out there's something good going on!"
"How can that be called a good thing? That's called eating alone. Forget about others, but she doesn't even give her grandparents anything."
When Xu Zhiyi heard the sarcastic remarks behind him, he turned around, holding the chicken in his arms, and stared at the four people who were talking with cold eyes.
The four men were so frightened when they saw Xu Zhiyi suddenly turned around that they stopped moving. When they saw the cold eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Somehow, they thought of the day when Xu Zhiyi stabbed people with a knife, and the four of them started shaking with fear.
"Xu Zhiyi, don't misunderstand me, we weren't talking about you just now."
Xu Zhiyi laughed coldly: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, no, no, we really didn't mean it. We will never queue up randomly again."
Xu Zhiyi: "Haha! But I was very unhappy when I heard what you said just now. When I'm unhappy, I can't control my urge to chop people. What do you think I should do?"
The four of them were so scared when they heard this! What did Xu Zhiyi mean? She...she...she wanted to kill people, to kill the four of them?
"We were wrong! Please forgive us just once! We will never dare to do it again!"
"Wrong? What about your sincerity?"
The four of them were a little confused when they heard this. What sincerity? This... is this asking them to give money? But they don't have money! They are all run by their mothers-in-law, and the money earned by the head of the family must be handed over, so how can it be their turn?
Xu Zhiyi: "You four, just slap yourselves ten times and say I'm wrong ten times! Otherwise..."
“We said, we fight…”
“Pah…Pah…”
“We were wrong!”
By the time all the villagers had come back from fetching water, it was already 3 p.m. The village head simply asked everyone to rest for the night and continue their journey the next morning.
Just when everyone was starting to cook, thirty refugees suddenly came out from behind the woods. Judging from their appearance, they were probably fleeing from famine.
The group of refugees looked at the villagers in Liuhe Village and saw that they had water and food. They stared at the villagers' pots and swallowed subconsciously.
