Happiness System

"Ma'am, look, there's dust ahead!"

Xiao Xia looked at the building in front of her from afar and was extremely happy.

Meng Yuxi glanced at it lazily and continued to do nothing.

She really had to admit defeat. No one told her that besides the lack of water, it was also extremely dry here. She was now like a fish that fell into the desert!

Outside the gate of Sand City, the team stopped for a quarter of an hour. They received an order from above to let them choose a place to live. They would rest here for three days.

"Ma'am, please drink some more water. Commander Orange has already taken people in to look for a house. I believe they will find a suitable place to live soon."

Xiao Xia poured a glass of water for Meng Yuxi and was almost about to feed it into her mouth.

Meng Yuxi took two sips and said with a smile, "You guys drink too. Don't be frugal. Even if there is no water in the city, we can still hold on for a while."

Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu happily poured themselves two cups of tea.

In fact, except for the two masters, everyone has a fixed water intake. Due to insufficient intake, they have not urinated for two days.

Although it saves some trouble, it is also a bit uncomfortable.

The Wen family is relatively lucky. They have always had full water stores so they are not too short of water. The amount they drink is also determined by the court physician, so for the time being no one in the Wen family has had any problems due to lack of water.

The situation is not so good for the Meng family next door. Ever since Meng Yuxi refused to borrow water last time, the two sides have never reconciled.

Because the team was not advancing very fast, the Meng family ventured into the mountains to look for water and banana trees.

Finally, I found some, but not much.

The Meng family has to swallow even the mouthwash to replenish moisture, not to mention washing their bodies these days!

Not to mention the people, even the horses were almost foaming at the mouth.

Meng Yiyun couldn't control his daughter. His daughter hasn't forgiven him yet for almost starving herself and her son to death last time!

Fortunately, they are weak, and the high temperature weather does not have as much impact on their bodies as the low temperature. In addition, Meng Yuxi gave them some ice saltpeter to cool them down, so they don't sweat too much.

Without affecting their health, they saved some water and gave it to the old man and the old woman, but there was nothing they could do for others.

The Meng family does indeed dote on their female relatives, or in other words, they indulge them without any bottom line. The same goes for Meng Yiyun. He loves and cares for his daughter, so naturally he doesn't dare to make any demands that would upset her.

That's it, everyone must be responsible for their own actions!

"Madam, we have found a house. The government offices and inns in the city have all been booked by the royal family and nobles. Manager Cheng has found a private house. There is even a well in the house!"

Before Meng Yuxi could say anything, Xiaoqiu opened the curtain and poked her head out, happily asking, "Wen Qing, is there water in the well?!"

Wen Qing touched his nose and felt a little guilty. "There's no water, but we jumped down and took a look. The sand underneath is quite moist."

Meng Yuxi was also somewhat happy, "That means there is still water here. Let me go and take a look. Maybe I can find some water if I dig deeper!"

Wen Qing felt even more guilty after hearing this. In fact, they had to dig down half a meter before they found the moist soil. Now he didn't know whether Wen Cheng and the others had dug out water.

In fact, at this moment, the people in Shacheng who did not flee the famine were truly desperate.

Not counting the deep wells that are still being dug and have no water yet, the only ancient well in the entire city is the one in the center that can produce ten buckets of turbid water per person.

They didn't dare go out during the day. They all hid in the basement to reduce sweating, and only went to fetch water and let it settle at night.

The water was not enough for them to drink, so they even risked their lives to go out hunting at night and use the smelly blood of animals to replenish the water they needed...

Now that the royal nobles of Tianyuan City have arrived, they have seized their water source and are leaving no way for the common people to survive!

Meng Yuxi knew a little about the situation in the Sand City. She could now release water from a distance. If no water could be dug out, she would quietly get some water out.

It doesn't need to be too much, just enough for everyone to drink some water, wipe themselves and wash their dirty clothes, and then fill up their water containers!

"Madam, the sandstorm in Sand City is very strong and we haven't been able to dig water out of the well to clean it. For now, we can only live in tents in the house."

Wen Cheng sighed inwardly. They had already dug nearly two meters down but still no water had come out. It seemed that there was not much hope.

This is a sandy plain with sparse vegetation. During the days of rest, we couldn't even go into the mountains to find water!

This so-called rest is meaningless except for consuming water and food!

Meng Yuxi walked to the well and took a look. Then she used her supernatural power to sense it. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, "Let them come up. There is no water in this location. Let's dig somewhere else!"

Wen Cheng looked at the moist soil that had been brought up, "But this soil..."

Meng Yuxi shook her head, "Then find a few people for me and I'll take them out to play!"

The house they found had two courtyards and the well was located in the backyard. But unfortunately, there was an underground river about ten meters below the front yard near the gate!

However, with this kind of horrible weather, coupled with the unreasonable settings of the world, it is estimated that the flow will be cut off in a few days.

"Forget it, let's go back and rest, and come back to dig after the sun goes down!" Meng Yuxi looked at the sun in the sky and sighed, and decided to be a human being.

Xiao Qiu scratched her itchy scalp and said, "Madam, does digging a well also require the right time, right place, and right people?"

Meng Yuxi pretended to be mysterious and thought for a while before saying, "Actually...actually, I just don't like the sun being too strong!"

"Well, the sun is really hot, so we should hide from it to save water..." Xiao Qiu was speechless.

Wen Yujin didn't come back until dinner time.

Seeing that he looked much more relaxed, Meng Yuxi asked, "Did the higher-ups give you another day off?"

Wen Yujin went up to her and held her hand. "Yes, you don't have to be on duty until you leave Sand City. Are you happy to be with Xier for two days?"

"Happy!" Meng Yuxi smiled at him, "I thought His Majesty would send you to find a water source!"

Wen Yujin smiled helplessly, "In fact, Sand City is the place with the most water resources in this area. The reason why we chose to build the city here was because there is plenty of water underground.

Moreover, the water source has been found!"

"Found it?" Meng Yuxi was curious, "Who is so capable?"

Wen Yujin paused for a moment before saying, "She is your biological mother's stepdaughter, Cui Jiaojiao."

"Oh!" It is not surprising that people who study agriculture can identify the location of water sources from the soil of plants.

Meng Yuxi asked someone to set the table for dinner. After dinner, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped a little, he took Wen Yujin to the outer courtyard.

Wen Yujin thought his wife wanted to go out for a walk, but she stopped at the gate and pointed, saying, "Dig eighteen meters down from this position!"

Eighteen meters?

Who offended the lady?

That's a big offense!

This means digging eighteen meters and burying him alive as if he were sent to the eighteenth level of hell!

Meng Yuxi didn't understand the strange thoughts in their minds. Seeing that no one moved, she tilted her head and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough?"

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Go dig first, and then ask the kitchen to make you some extra snacks!"

Everyone was very touched, but they were still confused, "Are they really digging it?"

Although they are quite strong, it is not a good idea to dig up other people's houses, right?

Maybe the homeowner came back halfway through his escape?

"Really dig!" Meng Yuxi found a stick and circled a piece of it, "Dig down from this position!"

"Madam, why don't you step aside?"

It was so hot that they wanted to take off their clothes before digging!

"Okay! There's so much to do!"

Meng Yuxi turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

The sun here doesn't set until after nine o'clock, which is similar to her original world in Xinjiang.

Oh, she didn’t even dare to imagine how sweet the melons and watermelons would be if she went out to find some sandy land!

After taking a walk back to the inner courtyard, Meng Yuxi found that she had slept too much during the day and now she was not sleepy at all. The longer she stayed awake, the more she wanted to eat watermelon and cantaloupe!

Her eyes rolled around for a few times, and she lifted her skirt and ran out again, "Brother Jin, let's go out of the city. I have a feeling that we can find natural fruits and vegetables if we go out of the city today!"

The corner of Wen Yujin's mouth twitched. He opened the gate and pulled the people outside before saying to the inside: "Wen Cheng, lead the horse out, and select twenty people to accompany us!"

"Yes, Master!"

They were almost stabbed by their master's eyes just now!

There's no need to take off your clothes. It's not like you're going to die of heat!

Wen Cheng pointed at his younger brothers with his finger. The guards looked innocent. Who knew that the lady would suddenly run away? Didn’t she just leave?

There was no horse-drawn carriage on this trip. Except for Meng Yuxi and Wen Yujin who rode together, everyone else rode a horse alone. Of course, they did not forget to bring the sacks.

Nowadays, sacks are a must-have item when going out.

The mutant beasts in the woods closer to the Sand City had been almost all cleared out by the people. They rode for more than half an hour without seeing a single green-eyed beast, but instead encountered several local hunting teams that were out looking for supplies.

The two sides were on guard against each other and chose different positions far away.

Meng Yuxi dismounted when she saw that it was almost time, and walked for a while, taking the opportunity to produce a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Maybe this world is really suitable for cultivating superpowers. She kept promoting them, and her superpowers actually rose to the late level five.

Now her operating range is within one thousand meters, and she can also use her supernatural powers to throw things out of the space, which makes it quite convenient for her to cheat.

"Hey, what is this?"

"This fruit is so big, can I eat it?"

"It's God's chosen food! Look at the roots and leaves, it must be God's chosen food!"

"It's edible! God finally gave us a way to survive!"

Meng Yuxi was speechless when she heard the ghosts and wolves howling over there. She just didn't want her harvest to be too unique or conspicuous. She didn't expect those people to be so excited.

She pointed in the opposite direction and said, "Brother Jin, look over there, is there something like a bunch of big rocks? Could it be what I'm looking for?"

The moonlight tonight was so bright that they didn't even need torches.

Wen Yujin followed the direction her finger pointed and saw round black shadows that really looked like watermelons!

"Go over and take a look!"

He carried his wife onto the horse and then rode on top himself.

Meng Yuxi has never treated herself or her people unfairly. They have more sweet potatoes and fruits!

“It’s really a watermelon!”

She happened to be a little thirsty, so she smashed a large melon with one slap, and it was too late for others to stop her.

Wen Yujin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xi'er, just tell me which one you want to eat. The rough work of opening the melon should be left to your husband!"

Meng Yuxi gave him a sweet smile in return, "Then Brother Jin, can you help me break the melon apart? I'm thirsty!"
