In the days that followed, Xu Jinhuan and his group hurried along the way and finally reunited with the main force in the sweltering heat.
"Boss Xu is back! Boss Xu is back!" Someone in the crowd spotted the familiar Akhal-Teke horse immediately and cheered with joy.
"Boss, you're finally back!" Ma Wencai shouted excitedly, his face increasingly tanned.
Li Xiaoxiao had already let go of her brother's hand and was running towards Xu Jinhuan, calling out, "Sister, sister!"
Li Yichang and the others immediately followed, their faces beaming with joy.
The leader is their backbone; when the leader is around, they have confidence no matter what happens.
Even though their journey had gone smoothly, they were still a little worried when their leader suddenly left. It wasn't until they saw him return that they were finally able to relax.
"Boss, has everything been resolved?" Li Yichang asked with a smile.
Xu Jinhuan nodded. "It's almost resolved. How have you all been these past few days?"
Before Li Yichang could answer, Ma Wencai immediately called out.
"Boss, let's not stand here and chat. It's too hot outside. Brother Xie just made some herbal tea. Let's drink it and chat. That would be so comfortable!"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded. Now that it was the hottest time of the year, it was no longer suitable to travel.
The main force had just found a suitable place to rest temporarily, so she could also take a break and think about the plans for the future.
The group went inside, and even in places without sunlight, the heat was still unbearable.
"This awful weather is getting hotter and hotter. I really want to take a cool bath!" Ma Wencai muttered to himself as he fanned himself with a palm leaf fan.
Li Yichang said helplessly, "We don't know how long this weather will last. We don't have much water left. It's already difficult enough for each of us to have a few cups of herbal tea a day."
You're still thinking about taking a cold shower? You think you're so great, you might as well fly to the moon!
Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai retorted with dissatisfaction, "Why are you making such a big deal out of this? I didn't actually intend to wash it. Can't I even vent my frustration? It's so annoying!"
After saying that, he turned his head in one direction and fanned himself faster and faster with the palm-leaf fan in his hand, as if venting his anger.
Those around them were already used to the two bickering, and simply shook their heads with amusement when they heard this.
Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "If it were before, I certainly wouldn't have been able to fulfill your wish, but now it's just a cold shower, it's just a matter of moving a finger."
"really?"
"Boss, have you made any progress in your cultivation?"
"Boss, is there something wrong with my ears? What did you just say?"
Upon hearing this, the people inside the room looked at Xu Jinhuan in surprise.
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded. Then everyone watched as she closed her eyes, but slowly raised her hand, as if she were tapping something, or perhaps casting a spell that they could not see.
"Hmm, the terrain here is alright, we can dig a well." Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself.
After she finished speaking, everyone saw her wave her hand in mid-air again, but nothing appeared in the air.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xu Jinhuan finally opened his eyes.
"Alright, the well is finished."
The people inside the house widened their eyes instantly. The eldest sister had only waved her hand in the house and the well was already dug?
She's practically a living goddess!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!" Ma Wencai said excitedly, picking up a straw hat and putting it on.
It was just dawn, and although it was still hot, it was a little more bearable than at noon, which is why Ma Wencai dared to go out.
Even if it were raining gold outside at noon, he wouldn't be in a hurry to go out.
“Okay, I want to see my sister’s well too,” Li Xiaoxiao immediately replied.
The others were also excited, wishing they could fly to the well immediately to see this newly created miracle.
Helpless, Xu Jinhuan could only follow his naive underlings to the well.
The well wasn't far from where they were staying. After walking for a short while, they saw the well hidden in the jungle.
The well looked quite ordinary, but looking down into it, you couldn't see the bottom at all. As everyone gazed at the deep well bottom, a hint of anticipation flashed in their eyes.
"It really is a well!"
"Brother Ma, quickly fetch some water and try it!"
"Alright, I'll fill a bucket for you right away."
Several people lowered the water buckets and others shook the well; before long, the buckets were lowered to the bottom of the water by ropes.
“It’s at the bottom, it’s at the bottom. I’ll shake it to fill the bucket with water,” Ma Wencai said with a smile.
The bucket was quickly filled, and with a creaking sound, it was lifted up.
"Wow, this water is so cool! It must be so refreshing!" Li Xiaoxiao gently touched the edge of the bucket and exclaimed in surprise after feeling the icy temperature.
Everyone was even happier to hear this.
"Cold water is great! I can finally take a nice, refreshing cold shower!" Ma Wencai grinned from ear to ear.
Li Xiaoxiao touched her head and said shyly, "Then I can wash my hair properly now. I've been sweating a lot these days."
Seeing that everyone was happy, Xu Jinhuan announced another thing that made them even happier.
"Zhiying has figured out how to make ice faster, and we'll soon be able to use ice to cool down our house."
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Sister Xia, you're amazing!"
"Xia, I'll have to trouble you from now on. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have Da Ni make it for you."
"Miss Xia, if you have any dirty or tiring work to do, just leave it to us. We have nothing else to do right now anyway."
Xia Zhiying was suddenly surrounded by people and felt a little embarrassed. She smiled shyly and said, "There's no need for everyone to be so polite. I am the master's person, so I will naturally try my best to share the master's worries and solve his problems."
Ma Wencai smiled and praised, "Look at my Xia sister's awareness, she's really high-minded. No wonder she's a talent that the boss brought back!"
"Brother Ma, you should learn from him and stop being so carefree all the time." Xie Datou patted Ma Wencai with a smile.
He didn't think he had used much force, but he still managed to make Ma Wencai, who was caught off guard, stumble.
"Big Head Bro, how come you're getting stronger and stronger? I used to be able to keep up, but now I can't at all."
Ma Wencai rubbed his aching, numb shoulder and grimaced as he spoke to Xie Datou.
Hearing this, Xie Datou looked at his hand in confusion. "Does it really hurt that much? Have I really gotten stronger? Brother Ma, let's go to a shady spot and practice properly later."
Upon hearing this, Ma Wencai waved his hands repeatedly, "No, if you want to fight, you and Li Yichang fight. He can take a beating, but I can't."
