"In other words, we can select a suitable location in the surrounding area to dig new channels or ponds for drainage. In this way, the water in the river will not be so deep, and the current may become calmer, which will make it easier for us to reinforce the wooden bridge."
"If all goes well, the newly dug pond can be used for fish farming, which will benefit our village as a whole."
The first part of the sentence made everyone hesitate, but when they heard that there would be additional benefits, some people started to get excited.
Doesn't this mean that they'll get a share of the fish raised in the pond during holidays? And with extra income for the village, they won't have to pay for anything if something happens.
With such a perfect win-win-win situation, why would they refuse?
So everyone stared at the village chief with eyes as bright as torches. Unable to withstand their gazes, the village chief had no choice but to agree with a smile.
“Good, Miss Mo’s idea is good. I will gather the villagers tomorrow and tell them.”
"Then I'll have to trouble the village chief. I have children waiting at home, so I'll head back now."
Watching Mo Qianshang's hurried departure, the village chief's previous displeasure with her because of his grandson gradually dissipated.
After all, if Mo Qianchang hadn't come up with a solution, the entire village would have been stuck in the woods for who knows how long...
Even if they had money, they had nowhere to spend it. Besides, none of their family members were good at hunting, so they could only watch others eat meat, and even when they did manage to get a little, it wasn't enough to share.
Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, the village chief revealed a rare, genuine smile.
Mo Qianshang was unaware that the village chief had changed his opinion of her; she was preoccupied with her two sons.
It wasn't until she returned to her resting place and saw her two sons smiling and waving at her that the heavy weight in her heart finally lifted.
"Do you still feel unwell anywhere? Just tell your mother or your Aunt Yao. Don't worry, your mother will make sure nothing happens to you."
Sensing the deep concern in her words, Qin Heming and Qin Zixuan felt a little embarrassed and immediately stood up to bow and apologize to Mo Qianshang.
Mo Qianshang saw through their intentions, grabbed them, and pretended to give them a stern lecture.
"What? Your mother finally managed to get you all a little healthier, and now you're going to start hurting your bodies again?"
Seeing that their mother seemed angry, the two little ones didn't dare to continue and quickly covered themselves with their blankets and lay back down.
Qin Zixuan smiled ingratiatingly at Mo Qianshang, revealing his bright white teeth, which was quite endearing.
"Mother, my brother and I know we were wrong and want to admit it. We won't be so careless again and give others the opportunity to hurt us. Please don't be angry with us, Mother?"
After saying that, he deliberately blinked his round eyes, making him look even cuter, which made it impossible for Mo Qianshang to continue to be angry.
"Alright, it's good that you know the importance of things. I might be a bit busy in the next few days, so you must take good care of yourselves. I will make time to come back and see you."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zixuan's smiling face froze instantly, and even her voice sounded aggrieved.
"Where are you going, Mother? Don't leave us behind. We'll be good and won't cause you any trouble, Mother..."
Before he could finish speaking, large raindrops pelted his face, startling the little guy so much that he quickly covered his face with the blanket.
The weather was alright today, so they didn't set up a shed. But then it suddenly started raining, and Mo Qianshang was caught off guard.
Fortunately, Qin Baiyi was there to help, and they set up the tent in no time.
However, Mo Qianshang's furrowed brows did not relax quickly. Based on his past experience, this rain would last until at least midnight.
Judging from the momentum of the rain, it will only get heavier and heavier, and the sound of wind is gradually rising around us.
"No! We can't stay here any longer, we have to find a new place." Mo Qianshang hurriedly finished speaking to the children and then called to the healthy second child, Qin Qingyu.
"Qingyu, put on this raincoat and go to the village chief's house to tell him to find a way to inform the villagers to pack their things. I'll go find a new place to stay right away."
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Qin Qingyu agreed and quickly ran off in the rain.
After packing up her things, Mo Qianshang turned to look at Qin Baiyi, but before she could speak, he interrupted her.
“I know what you’re going to say, but the two children need you more right now. I’ll take care of finding them a place to stay.”
As Qin Baiyi spoke, he took out the raincoat that Mo Qianshang had prepared for him and put it on. Without caring how Mo Qianshang would respond, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Gazing at the white figure amidst the fine rain, Mo Qianshang felt a warm glow in her heart.
Whether in her past life or this one, she has rarely been taken care of.
Her teammates used to think she was amazing and would come to her for help with anything. Having been relied on for so long, she felt she had to shoulder the responsibility herself, so she rarely showed vulnerability to outsiders.
Unexpectedly, this man, whom he had only known for a short time, would help him.
Even if it was for the sake of the child, she still thought the man in white was very kind.
"Mother, everything is packed. Is there anything else? I can help you with that too."
Qin Yuya was holding a small bundle in her arms, and her little hand gently held hers. There was no fear in her bright, watery eyes.
In an instant, despite the cold and rainy weather, Mo Qianshang felt her heart filled with warmth.
She scooped up Qin Yuya, draped the small bundle from her arms over her arm, and nuzzled the little one's face with the tip of her nose.
“Our Yu Ya is such a good girl, but there’s nothing to do. Mom will just sit here with you and wait for your second brother and Uncle in white to come back.”
On the other side, Qin Baiyi discerned the special markings on the surrounding tree trunks and soon arrived at a cave.
His appearance attracted the attention of the others in the cave, who rushed out with their weapons, but quickly put them away when they saw it was him.
"Master, is there something urgent that you need us to do?"
"Okay." Qin Baiyi didn't want to stay out in the rain any longer, so she led the others into the cave.
Considering that his subordinates were also concerned about the children, he patiently explained a few things to each of them.
"The children are injured, and the rain is too heavy to continue recuperating in the woods. You all need to go out and help find a new place to stay as soon as possible."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the men in black looked worried.
“My men have already scouted the area; there aren’t many caves around. The closest one is right here, and beyond that…”
"If one doesn't know some lightness skills, it would probably take an hour to sense them. How about this, Master, we'll move to a new place, and you can bring the young masters here to stay."
Fortunately, the cave had been repaired by them, and the young masters would soon be able to settle in.
Qin Baiyi also thought of this, hesitated for a few moments, and nodded slightly.
"Then you should set off now, or you might encounter a downpour."
