sfied, "Just following orders from the banner""I heard that their family lives right here. Apparently, his sister got into some trouble, so Qi Tou probably came to defend her.""Forget it, forget it. W..."Boss, where did you go" Old Zong had just returned from outside.

Since the drought, we still have some food at home and won't starve to death, but not having water is also a big problem.

He had just returned from discussing water matters with the village head.

As soon as I walked in, I saw the eldest son running out with dried eye boogers.

He didn't do much serious business all day. While others were looking for food, drinks, and ways to make money and stockpile grain, he was idle and carefree, not even going home.

If the second son were at home, he wouldn't even be without someone to discuss things with.

"Father, I'm going to Second Brother's place." Zongping was intimidated by the sight of his father.

"We've been running to Old Second's place these days, the wild boar is probably already sold by them." Old Zong looked a bit grim.

If the second brother was still around, these little rascals wouldn't dare to be so disobedient and go against the family.

All of this is Mu Shi's doing!

"The wild boar has indeed been sold by the second son, I saw it with my own eyes, he even has money to buy grain."

"Father, the children of the second brother are increasingly disregarding us." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You're their own grandfather, that Zong Yu is young and strong, why not show some respect to your elders by providing them with food and drink"

"Whose younger generation isn't obediently doing chores at home and listening to their elders"

Only the few children of the second son were unfilial, each one worse than the last.

"Old Master Zong let out a cold snort, recalling the details of his recent conversation at the village head's house."

"Just wait, they'll soon be here begging for my forgiveness."

Upon hearing this, Zongping was greatly surprised. Their family patriarch wasn't someone who would speak without reason.

At once, they couldn't help but follow behind the old master Zong, chasing after him and questioning him.

"Father, have you thought of any way to deal with those brats"

Zongyu was tall and strong, not to mention his terrifying strength and hunting skills. Just his face alone was enough to make few people dare to look directly at him.

He looked fierce and menacing, like a bandit who had just come down from the mountains.

If he hadn't grown up in the village since he was a child, the villagers would have definitely driven him out.

The old man smiled and pointed at the water bucket.

"Nowadays, nothing is more effective than having clean water to drink."

He frowned and looked at Zongpingkang, who immediately stood still.

"Father, don't look at me like that."

Now, you can't even find clean water anywhere. It's good enough just to have something to drink.

"Everyone's helpless, just watch what I do."

Could it be that the old man was going to drive him out again to find water

Mori's surroundings had been thoroughly searched, and living in a remote mountain hut made it even harder to find him. No one dared to go deep into the mountains.

Don't go in, you might not find water and instead be taken away by a wild beast as their dinner.

The elder looked at his cowardly appearance and shook his head, sighing inwardly. Forget it, hoping for him was no better than hoping for that unfilial son in the Zong family.

"If our family really depended on you to find water outside, I'm afraid we would all die of thirst at home."

The village head's son Tiezhu found a water source.

But in the mountains.

Hearing the first sentence, Zong Ping was very happy. The second sentence directly stunned him, his eyebrows and eyes instantly drooped.

"What use is there in the mountains Who would dare to go up there"

Besides Zong Yu, that vicious killer, everyone else who enters the mountain dies.

"Because of the long drought, there aren't as many ferocious beasts in the mountains as there used to be."

"Heaven won't stop raining. Don't we all just have to wait to die"

The village head called us together to discuss a plan. Each household was to send one male member to form a team and dig a water channel from the mountain to bring water down.

"Then you only need to take one risk, and there will be water afterward."

"Tie Zhu said that the water source wasn't in a deep mountain, but rather groundwater bubbling up."

"Much cleaner than the water we drink now."

Every household in the village now drinks water that is essentially muddy, murky sewage. No matter how long it sits, the color remains a sickly yellow.

The groundwater on the mountain, at least you can still see your fingers when you put your hand in it. Bring some down and let it sit for a while, drinking it is better than the mud water we have now.

Many people in the village became ill from drinking unclean water.

The village head was also in a panic, which is why he dared to propose this idea.
