"good!"
The three elders looked thoughtful as they watched the people outside who had received the water leave with smiles on their faces.
Following his gaze, the second elder pondered carefully for a moment and asked:
"Little Fish, for the next three days, please come and collect two buckets of water from each household, morning and evening, okay?"
Everyone present was intelligent and knew what those words meant.
They understood each other perfectly, and looked at the fish in the pond with nothing but reverence and respect in their hearts.
It was as if they were looking not at a junior member of the clan, but at an immortal being blessed by their ancestors!
Seeing their expectant looks, Chi Yu hummed in agreement.
As they breathed a sigh of relief, they said, "But just like today, we're keeping people out."
I'm not afraid of what our people might do, but the people who came to fetch water are also from Xiechi'ao.
They went down the mountain to fetch water, which was much closer than going to the Northern Union Mountains.
Upon hearing this, the two elders patted their chests repeatedly to assure them:
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'll take care of this."
After saying that, he went out.
Only after seeing that there were only people from Chijia'ao outside the door, and that the people from Xiechi'ao had all left, did he say:
"Fellow villagers, you should all know to some extent that we have water here because of someone else."
Xiaoyu will be at home for the next few days. Starting tomorrow, you can fetch two buckets of water twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Perfect timing, I can replenish all the water I used up before.
Three days later, Xiaoyu will be leaving for the Northern United Mountains. Everyone should use water sparingly then.
Every two weeks thereafter, the little fish will come down the mountain once. Then everyone will come back to fetch water.
If the water supply at home is insufficient, then one has no choice but to go into the mountains to fetch it.
However, no matter where you get water, you will have to queue like you did today.
Remember, protecting the small fish is protecting yourselves!
The people of Chijia'ao have always known about the special nature of the pond fish.
But at this moment, an inexplicable sense of pride rose within them.
Such a special person, with such great abilities, is their Chi family's great-aunt!
Sure enough, as long as the little fish are there, they can survive any disaster!
At this critical juncture, having water to drink and food to eat makes them far better off than most people in the county town.
As long as they protect the little fish/Auntie Little Fish, they will receive her protection!
The group, their minds racing with these thoughts, immediately replied in unison:
"Alright, Second Elder, don't worry, we understand!"
Those who came to fetch water, whether they were members of the Chi clan or people from other surnames in the village, all had determined expressions on their faces.
It's like making an oath, steadfastly upholding a certain belief!
Even if the fish in the pond in the main room couldn't see the expressions of those people, they could still guess what was going on from those sounds.
Her efforts were not in vain, which made her feel that everything was worthwhile.
As Chi Dongyi and the others were about to leave, she mentioned Liu Luyuan and his group again.
Upon hearing that a new teacher would be arriving soon, the three old men beamed with joy.
Whether the men in the clan are literate or not makes a big difference to them.
Even if it doesn't bring any benefits in the short term, it will definitely not be harmful in the long run.
With time and effort, and through generations of development, the Chi clan will eventually rise to prominence.
They were already feeling regretful that after Master Shen left, even Scholar Song, who had promised to help with teaching, also left.
As a result, Xiaoyu brought over new ones.
For the Chi clan to have a great-aunt like Xiaoyu who is so devoted to the clan is truly a blessing from their ancestors.
