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

After the two descended to a depth of 150 meters, they finally reached the bottom of the cave.

What came into view was a slowly flowing underground river. There was a piece of gravel ground beside the river, which was a bit painful to walk on.

"It used to be a fast-flowing river, but it became like this due to a severe drought this year."

The two untied their climbing ropes and continued walking forward together in the direction of the water flow.

This underground river was very long. Yan Shu estimated that they walked for about a quarter of an hour before they finally reached the other exit of the underground river.

The exit here is also a cave entrance, and the water from the underground river flows along this cave to the pool not far away.

The water in the pool is green and deep, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. After the water from the underground river flows into the pool, it should flow to another place along the bottom of the pool.

Jiang Ci identified the direction: "This is in the southeast direction of our team. The visual distance is about four or five miles."

Yan Shu said: "Let's meet up with the second and third brothers first, and then go back together to inform the seventh uncle and the village chief."

"it is good."

The two returned to the original cave.

Yan Wu and Yan Huai had been guarding the entrance of the cave. When they saw Yan Shu and Jiang Ci coming back, they immediately pulled them to the ground.

"How's it going?"

Yan Shu said: "There is indeed an underground river below. There is an outlet at the other end of the underground river. It is more convenient to hold water there."

Yan Wu and Yan Huai were both surprised.

"Great, let's go back and inform the village chief and them."

Due to the water shortage in the past two days, the villagers have become increasingly irritable and restless. Finding the water source now undoubtedly solves the current dilemma.

Yan Shu put away the climbing rope: "Let's go."

A group of four people left the cave and walked towards the camping area of ​​the large army.

the other side

The seventh uncle and several village chiefs were sitting around the campfire, discussing the next itinerary with a frown.

"The villagers who were looking for water have all come back one after another, but there is still no sign of any water source."

"If this keeps going on, we won't be able to hold it anymore, what should we do?"

"Seventh Uncle, what do you think we should do next? Should we look for water where we are or should we continue on our way?"

The seventh uncle was also a little hesitant and looked at Yan Ersheng's family with turbid eyes.

"Fourth girl and Erlang haven't come back yet. I hope they can bring good news."

These two children are capable people, and maybe they can bring good news today.

After a while, Yan Changming came over and reported: "Dad, the seventh uncle, the fourth sister and Jiang Erlang are back."

The seventh uncle, Yan Fugui and several village chiefs stood up immediately, and everyone looked towards the woods not far away.

Only four people, Yan Shu, Jiang Ci, Yan Wu and Yan Huai, were seen walking towards the main force together.

After the four people came, the seventh uncle took the lead to greet them.

"How about it?"

Yan Shu smiled and said: "Good news, the water source has been found. It is a large pool about four or five miles away from us."

"But really?"

Chen San couldn't believe what he heard, fearing that he was too thirsty and hallucinating.

Jiang Cidao: "It's true. Please tell me to get down. The troops will continue on their way in a quarter of an hour. We will stay overnight near the waterhole tonight."

The seventh uncle was surprised and praised him repeatedly.

"Quick, quick, quick, you all go back and inform the villagers that everyone will be ready to leave in a quarter of an hour."

"Hey, here we go."

Several village chiefs trotted back to their teams. The villagers were all excited when they learned that they had found the water source. They quickly packed up their belongings and headed towards the water pool under the leadership of Jiang Ci and Yan Shu.

About an hour later, the large army finally arrived near the waterhole.

"It's really water, we finally found it."

"Hahaha, I don't have to die in this mountain."

An old woman knelt on the ground with her hands clasped and prayed: "Oh, oh, oh, God bless, God bless!"

The young man on the side snorted softly: "This is not God's blessing for us, it is the work of Shu Yatou and Jiang Erlang."

"That is to say, without Si Yatou and Erlang, we really wouldn't be able to drink such clean and clear water."

Many villagers began to echo, including those who were aggressive during the day.

Yan Shu did not take their gratitude to heart. Human nature will change according to the environment. When people have enough food and clothing, they will be benevolent and abide by their duties. Good nature.

What she wants is that this team can be maintained for the time being, which is good for everyone.

Everyone ran towards the waterhole with buckets in their hands, fearing that if they arrived late, they would be robbed by others.

Soon, everyone filled their own water containers and drank enough, and then they began to look for a resting place for the night.

The Xu family team camped not far from the main army, and Xu also sent people to fetch water in his later years.

They brought a lot of water with them when they set off from Nanwei. Due to the large number of people and the many masters who were delicate and well-accustomed to fine clothing and food, they could not change their daily living habits even on the way to escape.

With water available tonight, everyone started to set up their own pots to prepare a good dinner to comfort themselves after many days of hardship.

The Yan Shu family found a secluded place, surrounded by cattails half as tall as a person. The open space in the middle was cleared by Yan Ersheng and the three brothers of the Yan family. The cut cattails were used as mats to sleep on at night.

After cutting the grass, Yan Wu ran nearby to pick up some firewood to burn, but unexpectedly saw several servants of the Xu family leading a few people back to the Xu family camp.

Yan Wu frowned tightly.

How did Yan Daqiang and Yan Peng get involved with the Xu family?

Watching Yan Daqiang and others enter the Xu family's tent, Yan Wu bundled the dry firewood on his shoulders and ran back in a hurry.

-

Yan Shu is making dinner with Liu Wenniang. Everyone is boiling water for cooking tonight, and many people use lard. The smell from her side will not attract attention.

So Yan Shu is going to make a pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. She has not eaten the Chinese cabbage grown in the space yet. She just picked one and is going to use it to make a pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.

"Little sister, little sister, do you know who I just met?"

Yan Shu took the time to glance at him: "Who?"

Jiang Ci also walked over this way.

"Yan Daqiang's family?"

Yan Wu looked at Jiang Ci with wide eyes: "Did you see them too?"

"Guess."

Yan Yao would not sit idly by when she learned that Yan Daqiang's family had been driven away, but by bringing them back so quickly, it seemed that Third Master Xu listened to her words.

"That's right, it's Yan Daqiang's family. I just saw a few servants of the Xu family ushering them into the Xu family's tent. I'm curious when did they get to know the Xu family?"

Yan Shu was not surprised when he heard the news brought back by Yan Wu.

Yan Yao is now favored by Mr. Xu San. If she asks Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu will definitely satisfy her.
