It was already dark, and there was no moon in the sky, so visibility was not very good.
Su Nanxi was starting to regret it. If only she had come sooner! She had searched for so long but hadn't found the cave, and to make matters worse, there was no moonlight at night!
She wouldn't have spent so much time if she wasn't looking for a cave or a better place to stay. Sigh, I need to be more careful next time and pay more attention to the time!
It's her fault, she was so happy that she forgot about the time!
But it's okay, since things are already like this, we can just go camping, which is something she wants to experience anyway.
With so many people, as long as we stay united, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Just be on high alert at night.
As they walked and talked, Su Nanxi paused after hearing Xiao Wu's words, then took out her beloved flashlight and shone it forward.
It's really quite dark, and I have no idea what's ahead.
On moonless nights, it is always particularly dark, and even with a flashlight, it doesn't feel bright enough; the light seems to be gradually swallowed up by the darkness.
But something is better than nothing!
"SuSu! There's water here!" Xiao Wu suddenly shouted.
Su Nanxi was almost startled and stumbled. Hearing that there was water, she immediately steadied herself and ran forward.
Upon closer inspection, there was a shimmering effect; it was indeed water!
However, the water is a bit shallow and there isn't much of it.
Could this be the last puddle of water?
Wasn't it all scooped away during the day?
That doesn't make sense!
At times like these, who wouldn't see water as a lifeline, wishing they could fence it off and use it all for themselves?
Not only Su Nanxi was puzzled, but the others were also quite confused.
They exchanged a glance, instantly becoming alert. After looking around and finding no danger, they approached the puddle of water.
Su Nanxi observed carefully and discovered the problem: the water was slowly increasing!
Mo Qinghe also noticed, and after glancing at his wife, they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.
This might be a spring that doesn't produce water during the day, but slowly starts to flow at night!
As for the reason, it's hard to say; nature is full of wonders!
This was the first time Su Nanxi, a modern person, had ever seen something like this, so she couldn't explain it. However, she had seen some news reports about similar situations, but none of them were the same.
So in the end, she could only conclude that they were just lucky!
Otherwise, there's no way to explain it. How come no one else looked for it, but they found it as soon as they arrived and just started looking around!
No one would believe it if you didn't have some luck involved!
This explanation is the most convincing.
Xiao Han ran back and told the men to carry their wooden buckets over, as many as they could carry.
The village chief didn't quite understand, but Xiao Han wasn't one to explain, so the village chief hesitated for a moment and then sent some people over first.
He went to check on the situation as well.
When I arrived at the scene and saw that there was really water, my eyes lit up instantly. It was so great!
He was so happy that his beard twitched, and he wasn't tired at all.
Su Nanxi told them to be quiet and try not to make a sound. If others found out, they would swarm over and there would be no water left to draw!
The villagers nodded; they understood. They immediately shut their mouths and walked as quietly as possible, making no noise.
Fetching water in the dark—that's an incredibly thrilling experience!
They no longer needed flashlights; their eyes glowed green, allowing them to see directly!
Upon learning of the situation, the village chief rushed back; he needed to oversee things!
After the fire was lit, the flames shone brightly, and the commotion could not be kept secret for long. Soon, others discovered that there was water, so many people immediately picked up buckets and ran over.
Su Nanxi knew this would happen. Fortunately, they had almost finished fighting and could leave the battlefield, letting the others fight it out.
And let me tell you, the fight for water was fierce. Everyone wanted to get more water, and no one was willing to give way to anyone else, especially since no one knew anyone else!
When Su Nanxi left, she took the light with her, and the area was instantly plunged into darkness, with no water visible.
Someone shouted, "Who took the light? Let us borrow it! We'll return it right away! It's too dark, we can't see anything!"
"Yeah! We can't see anything, how are we supposed to get water! It's so unfair, they left the light on after they finished getting the water so we could see it too!"
"We really can't see it! We don't even know where the water is. We can only feel our way in. So many people have stepped in, it's filthy! Hey you, the one who took all the water, stop for a second! Leave it for us to use. We'll return it as soon as we get some water!"
"How selfish! He just attacked and ran away without caring about the people behind him at all! Why waste words with him? Just go and take it!"
"That's right! We couldn't see anything when we got here, how are we going to get water? Come on! Let's borrow some light!"
Those people spoke very loudly, without any attempt to hide their voices, as if they were afraid Su Nanxi wouldn't hear them.
Su Nanxi chuckled. It was obvious they wanted her to hear this!
So what if she heard it? Judging from these people's attitude, it's impossible for her to borrow it!
Come and take it if you dare!
Let's see who's more arrogant!
If it were them, would they lend it?
The answer is obvious!
Won't!
They are selfish and self-serving themselves, yet they criticize others. Ha, how ridiculous!
They think they're so tough and want to use force? Well, let's see what happens!
She's easy to talk to; she won't lift a finger. But it's not so certain for Xiao Wu and Xiao Han. Who knows, they might die if they even try!
They dare to bully anyone!
Those people were really bold; they actually chased after us, running aggressively while shouting.
Su Nanxi told the other villagers to go back quickly. She stood still, turned around, and waited for those people to come over.
Those people probably didn't expect this. They rushed over and almost couldn't stop, making a fool of themselves. They were furious, and when they saw that the person holding the light was a woman, they became even less afraid.
They directly asked Su Nanxi for the flashlight in her hand, hoping to force her to comply by taking advantage of their numbers.
Su Nanxi looked at these ugly people and smiled contemptuously. What, are they bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong again?
Seeing that she was a woman, they thought she was easy to bully and wanted to take advantage of her, right?
That depends on who's bullying whom!
"Light is not something a woman can carry! Give us what you have. We won't ask where you found it, but since you picked it up, we can use it! We need to go over there to fetch water, but we can't see without light, so hurry up and give it to us!"
"That's right! It's something only men should have! You've had it for so long, it's time for us to take it! People can't be so selfish, taking what doesn't belong to them! Hand it over!"
Su Nanxi clicked her tongue; she could practically hear the sound of greed in that voice!
Which blind man saw her pick up from the ground?
What, you think you can just take her things off her head with a casual remark?
Su Nanxi couldn't be bothered with these ugly people who wanted to possess any treasure they saw!
He gave Xiao Wu and Xiao Han a wink, signaling them to make their move.
"Huh?! Why is there no light? It's so dark!"
"Ouch! Who hit me? It hurts!"
