Chapter 71 The Poor Little One Killed by His Uncle 27
The next day, the water level in the reservoir rose by more than two meters, and the water level in the well also rose to the point where water could be scooped out with a scoop.

This phenomenon shocked and delighted the villagers.

The old village chief knew how important water was to the disasters in the next three years, so he immediately blocked the news and forbade the villagers to spread it.

But on the next day, the old village chief discovered that the dry river outside the village had the sound of flowing water overnight.

Now, not only the villagers of Xiaxi Brigade were saved, but also the people living in the villages along this river were saved.

On both sides of the river, countless people were happily carrying water to save the corn seedlings that were about to die.

Yuanchun, who was tired after a night's work, slept soundly at home.

It was not until the evening that she slowly woke up.

007 reported to her, "Host, Cheng Fang came to see you. He went to the reed marsh during his lunch break and picked up three wild duck eggs. He brought them to you to eat. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, he didn't call you and put them in your cupboard."

"Your aunt came here at noon. She made some dried fish and brought you a bowl of it. It's also in the kitchen cupboard."

"Okay, got it. Thank you 007 for looking after my house."

Yuanchun twisted her neck, then felt her own special powers, which had recovered one third.

She compromised with 007 and asked, "How many points are there for the water pump you mentioned the day before yesterday?"

007 was excited. "Host, do you want to buy it? It's only fifty points. You can buy it on credit first. Moreover, this machine is permanent. You can use it in other small worlds in the future."

"The tube is infinitely long?"

Yuanchun confirmed again.

007 hummed twice, "Infinitely long, guaranteed quality, and repairs are included."

The system's products are absolutely top-notch and will never break.

"Then buy one." Yuanchun finally softened her heart.

Thinking of the people who starved to death in the disasters over the past three years, she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart, so she chose to help the nearby villagers.

A life saved is a life saved.

If she had not found the water source, perhaps she would not have had this idea. After all, she wanted to save the people, but there was nothing she could do without rice. But now, she knew that there was an underground river under the mountain with lots of water, but she had to watch the people in dozens of nearby villages starve to death of thirst.

Is she still human then?

Yuanchun bought a water pump with a large pipe as thick as an oil barrel. She went to the mouth of the underground river at night and installed the pump under the underground river. The pipe extended from the bottom of a large lake ten miles away.

After spending five points and putting an invisibility talisman on the water pump, Yuanchun went down the mountain.

Afterwards, the people living on both sides of the river discovered that the originally dry river actually had flowing water, and the amount of water was increasing day by day.

The weather was hot and not a drop of rain fell, but the water level in the river was gradually rising. This situation made the people surprised and happy.

The corn seedlings in the field are saved.

The food was saved.

Although the people had to carry water every day to irrigate the crops, it was hard work, but it was better than starving to death.

Because of Yuanchun's unexpected action, the food in the villages on both sides of the river and even in the villages farther away was preserved.

The yield was not as high as before, but after handing over the grain, the remaining was enough for the people to eat half full.

However, in this drought year, Xiaxi Brigade had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes. Every household received a lot of sweet potatoes and potatoes. After the autumn harvest, everyone in Xiaxi Village was busy drying the sweet potatoes and potatoes at home.
