Wang Cui'e carried the bucket into the kitchen, and Wang Dahua followed closely.

"Where does this water come from?"

Wang Cuihua glanced outside and saw that Su Xiaotian was staying in her room, so she lowered her voice and told Wang Dahua about Yan Yao finding water on the mountain.

"Mom, Yao'er said that the water falls drop by drop, and it can be used by the whole family. You can't talk about it everywhere."

Wang Dahua looked happy: "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative woman who likes to gossip. Since our family discovered it, this water is naturally our family's private property, and no one else can take advantage of it."

Wang Cui'e was worried about Wang Dahua's mouth, but she was her mother-in-law after all, so she didn't dare to speak too frankly.

"What mom said is true, so it's best not to tell even Brother Peng's daughter-in-law that Yao'er discovered the water source."

When it comes to Su Xiaotian, Wang Dahua is full of complaints.

"Huh, I can't tell her. If she finds out, I'm afraid I'll have Brother Peng go up the mountain to get her water every day. There are so many people in the village, how can I hide it?"

-

When Yan Shu returned home, Liu Wenniang came over with a sullen face.

"You girl, do you want to scare your mother to death? You haven't been seen since you woke up early in the morning, and your three brothers are looking for you everywhere."

Yan Shu took Liu Wenniang's hand and acted coquettishly.

"I have something urgent to deal with this morning. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you. Mom, please don't be angry. My daughter is very hungry. Is lunch ready?"

Liu Wenniang glared at her, reluctant to say too harsh words after all.

"Go and wash your hands and face, your little face is dirty."

Yan Shu wiped his face with his sleeve, maybe it was stained with dirt while hiding in the grass.

"I'm going right now."

Yan Shu ran to the backyard to find a basin of water and wash up. As soon as he returned to the front yard, the three brothers of the Yan family came back together.

Seeing that Yan Shu had returned home, the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little sister, you disappeared so early in the morning, which made us worried to death."

Yan Shu sincerely apologized to his three brothers and promised to inform his family in advance before going out next time.

Yan Ersheng couldn't see his daughter being scolded, so he interrupted: "Okay, okay, Shu'er already knows she was wrong, so don't talk about her anymore. Shu'er is hungry, come in and eat quickly."

Yan Shu nodded obediently.

The family went back to the main room to have lunch, and Yan Shu told them about finding a water source on the mountain.

"Great, this is a great blessing for the entire Xinghua Village."

After Yan Ersheng heard the news, he had no intention of hiding anything.

Yan Shu sighed softly in his heart. Except for the original owner, the second room of the Yan family were almost all honest people.

People like them usually suffer a little bullying at most, but if they encounter a major disaster, it will be difficult to survive.

The fate in the original book is enough to explain.

But this time she did not intend to stop Yan Ersheng's idea. Originally, the water in the cave was discovered by Yan Yao, and her purpose was to make the fact that there was water in the cave known to everyone.

Liu Wenniang and the three Yan brothers were also very happy.

Yan Shu continued: "But the water dripped from the cracks in the rocks. The water pool below can only fetch seven or eight buckets of water a day."

Yan Ersheng smiled and said: "It's better than nothing. The village chief and seventh uncle should be informed of this matter immediately."

Yan Shu had this intention. Yan Yao wanted to monopolize the water source. How could he let her get her wish?

"Second brother, go and notify the village chief now."

"Good dad."

Yan Wu got up and ran out.

Yan Ersheng asked in detail about the specific location of the cave. Yan Shu roughly told the direction and the situation near the cave. Yan Ersheng hunted in the mountains all year round and quickly locked the location.

Yan Wen said: "Dad, my son remembers that we went to that cave once, and there seemed to be no water in the cave at that time."

Yan Shu thought to himself that this should be the water source specially provided by the heroine, but he accidentally discovered it due to his own bug.

"Dad, if the village chief and the seventh uncle ask about it later, just say that the three brothers went hunting in the mountains and discovered it accidentally."

If she was the one who discovered it, a woman running into the mountains by herself would inevitably make people suspicious.

Yan Ersheng also thought of this.

"Okay, Dad understands."

The village chief and the seventh uncle got the news and hurried to Erfang's house.

"Er Sheng, I heard that you found a source of water on the mountain?"

Yan Ersheng said with a smile: "The boss, the second, and the third accidentally discovered it when they went hunting in the mountains today."

The seventh uncle stroked his gray goatee: "Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai, you can lead people up to know the way later."

"Okay, seventh uncle."

Later, Yan Fugui called a dozen young people and followed the three brothers of the Yan family up the mountain.

Yan Wen often followed Yan Ersheng to the mountains for hunting, and was very familiar with the area Yan Shu mentioned.

A group of young and strong men, whose footsteps were much faster than the women, found the cave in about an hour.

"Wow, this water is so clear and ice cold."

"It's much cleaner than the water in the river in our village."

A dozen young men came forward in turn to drink water. After drinking, they filled the seven or eight buckets they brought.

Yan Wen and Yan Wu took the opportunity to wander around the cave, but found no springs or undercurrents, so they had to return without success.

-

Yan Fugui and his seventh uncle were quite excited when they saw eight buckets of clean and clear spring water in front of them.

Yan Wen said: "Seventh Uncle, I see that the water dripping from the stone wall is very slow. We may have to wait until tomorrow evening to fetch water."

Uncle Seven nodded: "The water is extremely clear. I don't know where the water source is above the stone wall."

Yan Huai followed: "We observed the environment near the cave. Except for the dripping water on the mountain wall, there are no other sources of water nearby."

"Forget it, being able to go up the mountain and fetch seven or eight buckets of water every day is better than nothing."

Yan Fugui said: "Seventh Uncle, how do you think this water should be divided?"

The seventh uncle thought for a moment.

"The river water is getting turbid and turbid. Long-term drinking may cause some diseases. Each family can share some of the spring water and drink it all day long."

"You are always thoughtful. When it comes to fetching water, I suggest that each family send one person, ten people go up every day. There are more than 100 households in our village, and the water is collected every ten days on average."

The seventh uncle nodded in agreement: "Then let's do it."

The news that the water source was found on the mountain quickly spread throughout Xinghua Village. Everyone else was secretly rejoicing, but only the head of the Yan family was furious.

Yan Yao was full of doubts: "The cave is very secret and cannot be discovered by ordinary people. Who discovered it?"

Wang Cui'e was filled with indignation and said: "I heard from the villagers that the three boys from the second house's family discovered it. It's really a coincidence. We just found the cave today and the second house of the Yan family found it on the back foot. Yao'er, was it when you went to the mountain? Were they discovered?"

Yan Yao suddenly reacted.

When she went to the mountain this morning, she always felt like she was being followed. She looked back several times to check but saw no one. At that time, she thought she was being suspicious.

Now it seems that someone must have been secretly following her that morning.

Apart from Yan Shu, she really couldn't imagine anyone else doing such a thing.

Thinking of this, Yan Yao clenched her back molars angrily.

Yan Shu, since you are seeking death, don't blame me for being cruel!

In this new life, no one can stop her ambition to climb up.

She was born with a phoenix life, the heroine of this world, but if you don’t believe it, she is just a lonely soul in another world!
