That night, Lu Yu heard a group of people gathered in the village dirt field, all noisy and didn't know what to say. Lu Yu was curious, and took Yan Xiding and went over to take a look.

It turned out that every household was running out of water, and the villagers spontaneously organized and said that they would go out of the village to find water, so the people on the soil field were carrying pots and jars, and some people were carrying buckets. Lu Yu was a little unhappy, these people went out to find water, why didn't they call themselves.

Everyone was discussing where to find water. Some people said that they could borrow some if they went to a nearby village and had water in a well. But this proposal was quickly rejected by the rest of the people, and at this time the weather was dry, and there was no village that did it, and even if people had water, they would not lend it to us.

After discussing for a long time, a consensus was finally reached, and everyone went to Yangshan to find it, maybe there would be water in the mountain.

There is water in the mountains, and Lu Yu Lao Gao and Lu Di all know it. Lao Gao, who was also present, told the villagers that he knew that there was a stream in the mountains, and that there might be water there.

And all the people were overjoyed, and they all gathered around and asked where the stream was. Lao Gao glanced at Lu Yu, saw Lu Yu nodded, and then said that he could take everyone to take a look.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu said to Yan Xiding: "Let's go back and pick up the bucket and go to the mountains to get some water and come back." ”

After going back, Yan Xiding asked Lu Yu: "Doesn't our family still have water, why do you have to go to the mountains to pick it up." ”

Lu Yu said: "The water in our house is all conjured by me, but the trick is fake after all, and there must be a little water in the well to change." Now there is hardly a drop of water in the well, and it is difficult to make water. ”

Yan Xiding suddenly realized, and then asked to go into the mountain with Lu Yu. Yan Xi'an knew about this and also clamored to go with Lu Yu. Lu Yu said that it was too late now, let them take care of the house at home, and take them with them next time they went. The sisters and brothers were a little reluctant, but Lu Yu insisted on refusing to take them, so they had to stay at home obediently.

Picking up a bucket of water, he followed the villagers into the mountain. Lao Gao led the way at the front, and with the faint light of a few torches, everyone slowly walked to the depths of Yangshan.

At this time, it is still the season of late summer and autumn, and the insects and birds in the mountains and forests should be endless, but a group of people walking in the mountains can not hear the sound of insects and birds.

The mountain stream was dozens of miles away from Yangshan Village, and it was a nocturnal mountain road, so it was already the second half of the night when a group of people bypassed the boulder, passed through a dense forest, and arrived at the stream.

Sure enough, there was still water in the mountain stream, and these people could hear the sound of the waterfall from afar, and when they reached the stream, they couldn't help but cheer and jump when they found that the stream was full.

Some of them were thirsty, and threw themselves on the ground, and took up the stream in their hands and drank it; Someone else scooped up half a bucket of water and poured it directly on their heads. These people were overjoyed to see so much water.

When everyone calmed down, Fang Daping asked Lao Gao how he knew that there was a stream here.

Lao Gao said that he and Lu Yu came out hunting and accidentally ran into it. This place is too far away from Yangshan Village, except for Lu Yu, no one will come here to hunt in the deep mountains.

Fang Daping didn't ask any more questions, but called the villagers together and said to everyone: "This creek is too important, so we can't let people from other villages know where this stream is." Fang Daping's concern is very reasonable, although there is a lot of water in this stream, if people from nearby villages come here to get water, it may not be enough. Besides, if there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts when taking water, and in these years, it is not uncommon for people to break their heads and even kill each other for a bucket of water.

So Fang Daping decided to take turns to arrange people to guard here, and hide in the woods during the day, the stream is very cool, and the trees are lush, so there is no need to worry about being exposed to the scorching sun.

Lu Yu felt that it was useless to leave someone to guard it, if someone really wanted to come over to grab water, the few people left behind couldn't stop it, maybe there was still danger.

Everyone fetched water and returned to the village in high spirits. Although it was almost dawn when I returned to Yangshan Village, everyone thought that there was water in it, and they felt that this hard work was nothing.

Every night after that, every family in the village went out to the mountains to fetch water, but on the evening of the sixth day, they finally met people from other villages by the stream.

Although the villagers all said that they should keep their mouths shut, after all, some people were not so tight-mouthed, and they first quietly told their relatives in the outer village that there was water in Yangshan.

Then it was a ten, ten to hundred, so many people from nearby villages came to get water, and every night, there were many villagers from various villages by the stream. The people in Yangshan Village had a lot of opinions, and several verbal conflicts broke out with other villages, but after all, there was no fight. First, because this mountain stream has no owner, the villagers of Yangshan Village can take water, and people from other villages also have the right to take it; In addition, the people of those villages, facing the people of Yangshan Village who want to dominate the mountain stream, are all angry with the enemy. If you really want to do it, the villagers of Yangshan Village will suffer.

Fortunately, although the mountain stream is narrow and shallow, it is long enough that even if people from several villages come to fetch water, the stream will not dry up for the time being. Except for Lu Yu, no one knew where the source of the mountain stream was, and some people had traced the stream up to find it, but this stream was too long, and they didn't see the source after going up for dozens of miles, and they didn't dare to go deeper, so they had to give up. Lu Yu was not worried that they would find that green valley, which was not only remote, but also surrounded by high mountains, and ordinary people could not enter it.

But what's worse is that more and more people know about this place, and now not only at night, but also during the day, many people gather by the stream. When there are many people, it is easy to get confused, and there are people fighting every day over the matter of getting water, and blood can often be seen by the stream.

Lu Yu originally planned to take Yan Xi'an and his sister and brother out to take a look occasionally, but because the stream was too chaotic, he didn't dare to bring the two out.

In addition to the frequent fights, what is worse is that the water in the lower reaches of the mountain stream is becoming less and less, and the swimming fish in this section are all caught regardless of size.

There was less and less water downstream, so someone started looking upstream. Or because the stream is too long, and further upstream, it has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yangshan Mountain, where not only is there no mountain road to pass, but also dense trees and bushes, and no one can reach the outside of the valley. What's more, there are hundreds of miles away from there to the nearest Yangshan Village, and no one can carry a load of water and walk on the 100-mile mountain road.

By August, the weather was not so hot, but it still didn't rain, and the villagers still had to go to the mountains to get water. But at this time, a good mountain stream was almost bottomed out by the villagers who came to get water, and everyone could only get half a muddy muddy water home every day.

Originally, Lu Yu followed everyone to fetch water, but most of the reason was that he didn't want to act too different from others, and there was not much water in the mountain stream, so he didn't bother to go again. Lu Yu was now stepping up his cultivation every day, and he wanted to have the ability to arrange a teleportation array earlier, which could be directly connected to that valley from his own home.

In August, Lu Yu, with the help of Yan's family, harvested all the corn and soybeans in the field. This year's harvest was so poor that Lu Yu looked at the withered yellow crops in one place, and he didn't even want to bother to harvest them. But in vain, although the harvest is small, it is better than nothing, and it is enough for five people to eat for a few days.

The crops were harvested, but it still didn't rain that day. Lu Yu is now worried not only about the lack of water, but also about the lack of food at home. Although I bought 20 stone of rice in the spring, there are five people in the family now, and even if I eat a little less, I will definitely not be able to last next autumn's harvest. To make matters worse, there is little life in the mountains and forests, and even if you want to hunt, you can't get anything.

Lu Yu now uses spells to get some barely enough water every day, although his cultivation is getting higher and higher, but the water aura between heaven and earth is getting less and less, so it is difficult for Lu Yu to get more water.

However, this afternoon, Lu Ming also came back from the town and borrowed water from Lu Yu.

Lu Yu evened half of the remaining water in the water tank to Lu Ming. According to Lu Ming, all the wells in the town have dried up, and the water in their cellar is almost the same, and if they don't come here to borrow water, the family will have to run out of cooking.

When Lu Ming went back, he asked Lu Yu to give him a ride, he said that the road was not very peaceful, and he was worried that someone would grab water.

The brothers went to town together, and they were both equally worried. Lu Ming said: "If it doesn't rain again, our family is afraid that it won't last for a few days." ”

In the past few days, Lu Yu has been thinking about how to arrange the teleportation array, so as to draw some water out of the Green Valley, but he has never seen an eyebrow. If he really can't do it, he can only go into the depths of Yangshan by himself and carry water back to use it, which will be half of Lu Ming.

It's just that this mountain road back and forth is nearly two hundred miles, and even if Lu Yu travels fast, he will not be able to bear it after a long time.

But Lu Yu didn't want Lu Ming to worry too much, he said: "You don't have any water, come to the house to get it, there are not many at home, but it's barely enough." ”

Lu Ming sighed and asked Lu Yu again: "Brother, why are the people of the Yan family here again?" ”

"I can't stay in the city anymore, I'll pick them up."

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Hey, you're so kind." ”

When the two of them were about to enter the town, they really ran into someone blocking the road and robbing them. These people are all ragged, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and all of them have dry and chapped lips, but the eyes of each of them reveal greed and cruelty.

Lu Ming was a little panicked, these people were all holding sticks in their hands, and some even carried Ming's big knives, they asked the brothers to put down the water, and they also taught valuable things.

Lu Ming put down the water he was carrying, and slowly took out a few taels of silver from his arms, trembling and frightened to hand them over. Lu Yu was glad that he had sent Lu Ming back, otherwise the water would be robbed, and even others would be in danger.

These robbers were forced by life to come to this point, so Lu Yu didn't intend to hurt them, he just took the sticks and big knives in their hands and didn't care about them anymore.
