The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

After Yan Daqiang's family left, the seventh uncle warned everyone sharply.

"No matter whose family has water, it was saved by them themselves. If I find out that someone steals other people's water, I will severely punish them!"

With the lessons learned from Yan Daqiang's family, the villagers have become more honest.

The seventh uncle walked up to Yan Shu and Jiang Ci and said with a sad face: "Erlang, fourth girl, what happened just now has made you feel wronged. You have all seen the current situation. If you can't find the water source again, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it." These people live here.”

Having experienced a great famine, he had already seen the evil side of human nature.

As long as everyone has food and drink, they can live in peace along the way. Once there is no water or food, the team of thousands of people will break the peace and cause internal strife and riots. At that time, the evil of human nature will be fully displayed.

Yan Shu also knew this truth well. She once thought about leaving the team and going alone, but in the end she rejected the idea.

In troubled times, there are groups of refugees everywhere on the road. If they follow the large army, those refugees will be psychologically afraid. If their family walks alone, they will be constantly harassed by refugees, and the problems they will face will be Bigger and more.

The lesser of two evils, they still had to continue on their way with the large army. The most difficult problem at the moment was to find the water source.

"Seventh uncle, we have entered the deep mountains. There is probably an underground river nearby. We will continue to arrange for everyone to find the source of water tonight."

Uncle Seven nodded in agreement. Only by finding water can we calm everyone's restless hearts.

After the seventh uncle and others left, Yan Shu said to Jiang Ci, "Let's go look around."

"it is good."

"Little sister, we will go with you too."

Yan Shu looked at the three brothers of the Yan family.

"The eldest brother's arm is still injured, so he will stay with his parents to guard our things. The second brother and the third brother will go with us."

After assigning tasks, Jiang Ci exchanged a few words with Yan Ersheng before leaving.

"There are some people with evil intentions among those villagers who come to steal things. Second uncle, please pay more attention to what's going on around you."

"Okay, we've written it down."

Liu Wenniang glanced around and said warily: "There is still enough firewood in the donkey cart. The three of us are not going anywhere tonight. We will just stay in front of the donkey cart."

Seeing that they were all very concerned about this matter, Jiang Ci, Yan Shu, Yan Wu, and Yan Huai walked towards the depths of the mountain.

-

The sky gradually darkened.

At the beginning, Yan Shu and the others met villagers who were also looking for water on the road. As they walked further and further away, the area gradually became quiet.

Dark clouds covered the stars in the night sky, and the mountain forest was pitch black. Yan Shu took out two flashlights from the space.

She and Jiang Ci walked side by side with one in front, and gave the other to Yan Huai.

Yan Wu on the side stared at the flashlight in surprise.

"Is this the legendary magic weapon? Little sister, your treasures in the fairy world are different. A small tube can actually shine?"

Yan Wu took it from Yan Huai's hand and looked at it carefully with bright eyes, and he became more and more longing for the cultivation of immortals.

How great it would be if I could become the disciple of the old god like my little sister.

Yan Shu: This...

Jiang Ci held up a flashlight and looked around at the surrounding environment. When he looked at a stone wall not far away, his eyes brightened slightly.

"There's a cave ahead."

Yan Shu said happily: "Let's go over and have a look."

As soon as the four of them reached the entrance of the cave, a gust of cold wind blew in their faces.

"There is cold wind blowing out of the cave. It is probably connected to an underground river."

Jiang Ci raised his flashlight and looked inside. The cave was very deep, but the light from the flashlight still did not reach the end.

"Everyone, beware of wild beasts."

With a warning, Jiang Ci walked in first, with Yan Wu and Yan Huai protecting Yan Shu on the left and right.

The entrance to the cave is about three meters high and two meters wide. The cave is very spacious and relatively dry. There is no peculiar smell and no trace of large animals has been found.

This is great news for them.

After walking about 30 meters, the road ahead began to become narrower. Several people walked all the way to the end, where a downward cave suddenly appeared, and the cold air emanated from it.

Jiang Ci used the light of a flashlight to look down. The end of the light was pitch black, indicating that there was no bottom within ten meters.

"I heard the sound of water flowing below. This is indeed the entrance to the underground river."

Jiang Ci had good internal skills, and as he approached the entrance, he heard the sound of gurgling water below.

Yan Wu and Yan Huai both had excited expressions on their faces.

"Then let's go back now and inform Uncle Seven and them, so that everyone can come over to get water."

Yan Shu frowned slightly: "This cave is so deep that I don't know what's going on below."

Jiang Ci agreed: "There is wind in the cave, which means there should be another outlet for the underground river. I will go down first to check the situation."

"I'll go with you. If there's any danger down there, it'll be easier for the two of us to handle it."

Jiang Ci thought that Yan Shu had room to be with him, and that if she followed him, he could indeed ensure their safety.

"it is good."

Yan Wudao: "Let's go down together. There is strength in numbers."

Yan Huai also said: "Little sister, how about I go down with Erlang, and you and my second brother wait for us up there?"

Yan Shu shook his head: "I have magic skills with me, and Aci is very strong in martial arts. It is more suitable for the two of us to go down there. The second brother and the third brother will help us guard the entrance of the cave. If there is any situation above, we can be notified in time."

After saying this, she conjured two climbing ropes out of thin air, tied one end of the rope to a large rock not far away, and tied the other end to herself.

Jiang Ci fixed another climbing rope to himself.

"I'll go down first."

Jiang Ci went down into the cave first, followed closely by Yan Shu.

"Erlang, little sister, please be careful. If anything happens below, please notify us in time and we will pull you up."

Yan Shu said "Hello" and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The cave was much deeper than she imagined. After visually descending more than 100 meters, she finally heard the sound of running water that Jiang Ci mentioned.

The sound was very small, the clear sound of a gurgling stream.

Yan Shu glanced down. Jiang Ci was about five meters away from her. He had a qinggong skill. The climbing rope was just a strength for him. If she hadn't been there to hold him back, he would have already descended by now. At the bottom of the cave.

She moved down faster, Jiang Ci staring at her all the time.

"Don't worry, there is a lot of moss on the mountain wall below. Try to go down as slowly as possible."

The further Yan Shu went down, the more he felt that the soles of his feet were wet and smooth. If he used the wrong force, he might slip and hit the stone wall.

Jiang Ci waited until Yan Shu came down to his side, then continued walking down.
