"I want to, but people's hearts are complicated, so it's better to be careful."
Bubble stretched out his claws and scratched his head.
“What a hassle!”
Lin Jiuyue didn't explain any further.
"Okay, the water is full, let's go back."
There was a lot of water in the puddle, so the people in the group definitely couldn't use it all, and those who came later could also drink some water.
However, over time, the water in this puddle will slowly dry up.
Lin Jiuyue ran all the way back to the gathering place holding Bubble.
Before reaching the temporary camp, Lin Jiuyue heard the voices of Lin Qiye and Gu Chengyan.
"Brother Gu, my sister is not here."
Gu Chengyan looked at Lin Qiye.
"Not here? Where did your sister go in the middle of the night? Do you know how dangerous this mountain is? You actually let your sister go out alone. What if something happened?"
Lin Qiye curled his lips.
With my sister's current abilities, what could possibly happen? Moreover, my sister still has a space. If she really encounters any danger, she can just hide in the space and be done with it.
"Brother Gu, it would be great if I could take care of my sister's affairs."
Gu Chengyan was anxious. He felt that Lin Qiye, a grown man, shouldn't let Lin Jiuyue, a weak woman, go out alone. He completely forgot about their ages.
"Forget it. Tell me, where did your sister go? I'll go find her."
Lin Qiye avoided looking.
Before leaving, my elder sister repeatedly told me that her whereabouts must not be known to anyone else. I had promised my elder sister that.
"Brother Gu, actually, you don't have to be so anxious. My sister will probably be back soon."
"Where did she go? If you don't know, just point me in the direction."
Lin Qiye: ...
It’s not that I don’t know, but I can’t say it.
Lin Qiye hesitated for a long time without saying anything, and Gu Chengyan frowned anxiously.
"What? You don't know?"
Just when Lin Qiye was about to be unable to bear the pressure, Lin Jiuyue came back.
"What do you want from me?"
When Gu Chengyan saw Lin Jiuyue appear, he finally felt relieved.
"Where did you go? Why did you leave without telling me? This mountain is dangerous..."
A smile appeared on Lin Jiuyue's lips.
"Are you worried about me?"
Gu Chengyan: ...
This girl, at this hour, actually still had the mind to tease me, did she even know how dangerous this mountain was? Especially a mountain like this that few people had entered all year round.
Does she think that she can be invincible with her mediocre skills?
"Do you know how dangerous this mountain is? What if you encounter a pack of wolves? Yes, you can kill a wild boar by yourself, but wolves are not as simple as wild boars. They live in groups and are very vindictive..."
Lin Jiuyue had never heard Gu Chengyan say so many words at once, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she first heard it.
"I'm going to find water."
Gu Chengyan was stunned when he heard this, and then his face turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Looking for water? It's so dark, you're going to look for water? Are you trying to save your life?"
There is such a shortage of water now, and even places with water sources are dangerous.
Because not only humans need water, animals need water too!
"It's okay, I'm being careful."
Lin Jiuyue knew that Gu Chengyan was worried about her, so she didn't say anything unpleasant.
"If you want to go out later, ask me to come with you."
Lin Jiuyue agreed on the surface, but she didn't think so in her heart.
How could I let others know about this? If I brought Gu Chengyan with me, how could I let it go? Wouldn't they think I was a monster then?
"Gu Chengyan, I found the water source."
Gu Chengyan looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
I couldn't find any water when I was exploring the road ahead, but this girl found one right away when she went out in the middle of the night? What a coincidence!
"Oh? Where?"
"Actually, it's not really a water source, just a small puddle. If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a spring there, but the spring didn't flow out, and now it's just a small puddle. There's not much water, but it's enough for us to drink."
Ever since Gu Chengyan heard Lin Jiuyue say that she had found a water source, his eyes have never left Lin Jiuyue.
If this water source was really that easy to find, the people in the team wouldn't have been thirsty for so long.
This girl suddenly told me that she found a water source. Is it really such a coincidence?
"Yeah?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded calmly.
"Of course it's true. Would I lie about something so important?"
"Well, let's go get some water when it gets light."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
The small puddle is so small and can't hold much water. I don't know how much water will be left by tomorrow morning.
But I think it should be enough for our group of people to drink.
"Okay, don't tell the village chief and the others about this for now, lest they have a bad night's rest and affect their journey tomorrow."
Gu Chengyan also had the same idea and agreed immediately.
The next day, before dawn, Gu Chengyan and Lin Jiuyue found the village chief and told him about the water source.
After hearing this, the villagers opened their eyes wide in shock, not daring to believe what they heard. It took them a while to react.
"Ji family boy, Jiuyue girl, are you serious? Did you really find water?"
"It's true, village chief, quickly call all the villagers together, let's go get some water now."
Seeing the village chief so happy, Lin Jiuyue said with a smile.
After hearing this, the village chief couldn't wait to run and tell the villagers about it.
The villagers who learned the news immediately packed up their things. Their movements were so fast that they seemed like professionally trained soldiers, which shocked Lin Jiuyue.
On the way.
The village chief came close to Lin Jiuyue and Gu Chengyan.
"Ji family boy, Jiuyue girl, when did you two go to find the water? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Ah? Actually, it wasn't us who went looking for Bubble at night. Village chief, you know Bubble likes to run around in the mountains, and I didn't restrict him."
"Who knew it was wet when it came back last night? I guess it must have found some water. It's Bubbles' credit that it found the water."
As soon as Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, Bubble rushed into Lin Jiuyue's arms from the side.
The village chief and Gu Chengyan both knew that Paopao was picked up by Lin Jiuyue on the road and had been raising it as a pet all the way.
Before, the village chief thought that Lin Jiuyue was ignorant. In such a year of food shortage, he actually raised an animal. And the animal was just like a human, eating whatever humans ate.
It's even better than what the villagers in the team eat.
Later, the village chief saw with his own eyes that Bubble ran out and came back with a ginseng on its paw, and then he changed his opinion of Bubble.
