"No, we still have to wait for the adults to come!" Qin Qingyu gazed quietly into the distance like a little adult, while also nimbly protecting the Ganoderma lucidum.
They stayed here because of this Ganoderma lucidum, and they couldn't let their friends be in danger, make their mother worry, and end up getting nothing in return!
If that's really the case, he won't be able to face his friends anymore...
Liu Xiaoyun noticed Qin Qingyu's emotions and quickly patted his shoulder, comforting him in a low voice while also comforting herself.
"Brother Qingyu, don't worry. Aunt Mo is so capable, she'll definitely find a way. We'll all get back safely."
The other two children from the hunter's family were named Dong Ming and Dong Qiu.
Perhaps because they had been going into the mountains with their families since they were young, they were not too panicked when they encountered such a situation, which reduced the pressure on Qin Qingyu.
Amidst the flames, Qin Qingyu suddenly remembered the vines her mother had brought back. They were not only edible but also very juicy, and perhaps they could help contain the fire…
With that in mind, he immediately placed the Ganoderma lucidum in a safe location and then told his friends about his plan.
“If I remember correctly, my mother brought back this kind of vine last time. Maybe we can cut some vines and throw them into the fire. Maybe that will make the fire smaller.”
The other three children couldn't think of a solution, so they could only listen to Qin Qingyu and give it a try. They all nodded their round little heads.
To their surprise, the fire was too intense; the chicken vine burst into flames within moments of being thrown in.
The fire is even bigger than before!
The children were stunned, and Qin Qingyu apologized to her friends repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through properly. Everyone, please move closer and don't go to the edge to avoid getting burned."
Despite saying that, he continued to peer around to check the herbs that had not yet been burned.
Not knowing how long it would take for the adults to arrive, he had to think of as many ways as possible to change the current situation.
Persistence pays off; he finally found the herbs that could treat burns under another clump of vines.
This time, however, he didn't call his friends, worried that they might get hurt. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly circled around the vines from behind and quickly gathered herbs.
When Mo Qianshang arrived, a small flame had already spread to Qin Qingyu's back, which startled her so much that she quickly unscrewed the water pouch and threw it away.
Fortunately, her skills hadn't become rusty. The water in her water bag was steadily sprinkled around the small flame, quickly extinguishing it.
"Qingyu, hurry up and go to the middle, don't run around anymore!" She had refrained from saying anything just now so as not to frighten the child.
Upon hearing his mother's voice, Qin Qingyu was so excited he almost cried. He obediently ran back to a slightly safer area, only to discover that the spot where he had just been was about to be engulfed by a fire.
He was immediately filled with guilt again, but he knew this was not the time to admit his mistake, so he forced a smile in Mo Qianshang's direction.
"Mother, don't worry, we will stay here obediently. Thank you for your help in getting us out of here."
At first, he thought only his mother would come, but now he realized that all the able-bodied uncles and aunts in the village had come to rescue them...
He suddenly felt like he was being a jerk.
While Ganoderma lucidum is certainly important, how can we let everyone worry about them?
The other children thought the same way, so Qin Qingyu put the Ganoderma lucidum back among them, intending to discuss the ownership of the Ganoderma lucidum with his companions again.
On the other side, seeing the children so calm, Mo Qianshang felt a little more at ease, but her mind was also racing.
The river is quite far from here, and carrying water bucket by bucket would be too slow, like a drop in the ocean, and wouldn't be very effective.
The store sells water pipes, but she can't explain to everyone where they come from...
So for now, she can only use what she already has to replace the water pipes!
Having made up her mind, Mo Qianshang began searching for a suitable replacement, while constantly recalling her memories of being a mercenary.
Perhaps because she was too concerned, she couldn't remember it even after thinking for a long time.
Finally, when she saw Da Hua suddenly running over, she slapped her thigh and shouted at the panicked crowd.
"Everyone hurry up and cut bamboo, especially the thick ones. Bring any ropes you have in your bundles too. We need to be quick!"
Before they knew it, everyone had developed a good level of trust in Mo Qianshang. When they heard her say that, almost no one objected, and they all picked up the machetes they carried and started chopping bamboo.
It is said that many hands make light work, and many people can put out a fire quickly.
Before long, a large bundle of bamboo was piled up around them. Mo Qianshang quickly pointed out a group of people and directed them to proceed to the next step.
"Let's split the bamboo in half and then put it back together. Let's start from the side closest to the river. Everyone, please hurry up!"
The children surrounded by the fire had already started taking off their outer clothes, their little faces burning red from the heat.
It was so hot for them.
Since the water source needed to be piped into bamboo pipes, Mo Qianshang took advantage of everyone's inattention to exchange for a water pumping device from the store and quickly piped the water there.
Unfortunately, the bamboo pipes were not long enough to reach the fire directly.
To everyone's relief, this also saves them at least half the distance, allowing them to fetch water faster and greatly increasing the speed of extinguishing the fire.
Seeing hope, everyone worked even faster cutting bamboo to connect the pipes, and finally, after half an incense stick's time, the pipes were completely connected.
"Alright, those who are really tired, take a break. Those who can still manage, come and put out the fire!"
Although Mo Qianshang's words did not contain any coercive meaning, no one sat down to rest. Everyone took their own tools to collect water and went to put out the fire.
Seeing that the children were about to faint from the heat, the fire was finally extinguished. Mo Qianshang and the parents of the other three children rushed forward to hug their children.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and sit on the ground to catch their breath.
Qin Qingyu didn't rest in Mo Qianshang's arms for long. He drank a few sips of water and then got up.
"Mother, I have something I want to discuss with Grandpa Village Chief. Could you come with me?"
Thinking the little guy wanted to thank the village chief, Mo Qianshang didn't stop him, nodded, and led Qin Qingyu over.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as Qin Qingyu saw the village chief, she handed over the Ganoderma lucidum that she had brought out with great difficulty, her little face full of guilt.
"Grandpa Village Chief, it's all because we children were ignorant and caused everyone so much trouble. Consider this Ganoderma lucidum as an apology. Once it's sold, we hope Grandpa Village Chief can use it to build up our village."
Qin Qingyu's voice was still a little hoarse, but everyone was too tired to talk, so the little guy's voice became exceptionally clear.
