As the days passed, the worry in Li Qingling's heart grew deeper and deeper. The weather became hotter and hotter, and the flowers and trees in the mountain forest began to slowly wither without sufficient moisture.

This was especially true for small rivers. If the water level continued to drop, the river would dry up in less than half a month.

If this were to continue, then even if their family had grain, they would starve to death here due to lack of water to cook.

Li Qingling felt that they could not just sit there and wait for death. If they continued to sit there and wait for death, they would not even have their lives left.

"Let's go dig a well!" After Li Qingling finished eating, she hesitated for a while before speaking to Liu Zhimo, "The water level of the little river is getting lower and lower, in a few days, it will really dry up. At that time, without water, what should we do?" If he could dig a well and dig out a spring, that would be for the best. She wouldn't have to worry and would run out of water.

Liu Zhimo knew the severity of the problem. Once the water in the river ran out, they would also be forced to walk on the road of escape. If they really went to flee, the chance of their family surviving in safety was very small.

In order to survive, he had to open a well.

"I don't know much about drilling wells, do you?" Liu Zhimo raised his head to look at Li Qingling, and asked, digging a well was not that easy, he had to see if the Earth Rune met the requirements to do so.

If the conditions were not met, it would be very dangerous to dig deeper and collapse.

Hearing Liu Zhimo's words, Li Qing Lin became serious and shook her head, saying that she didn't know either.

Previously, when she was digging a well in her house, she had not gone to have a look and did not understand much about it. If she had been allowed to act recklessly, it would have resulted in her death.

Was he going to give up just like that?

Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo's hearts were both heavy. They looked at each other and fell silent.

If there was no way to dig a well, he would have to find a water source.

Without water, one would truly die of thirst.

At this time, Big River's timid voice rang out, "I will … "I can drill a well." As he said this, everyone's eyes were on him. This made him even more nervous, and his face was red as he rubbed his hands together, "My father helped people in the village to dig wells. I went to take a look, and he also told me how to look at soil."

Li Qingling looked at the perturbed Great River, and revealed a smile: "Alright, I believe you." She believed that Big River would not say such a thing and would deceive them.

If he didn't have any confidence, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

Li Qingling's words of belief shone brightly in the large river. He had originally thought that Li Qingling wouldn't believe his words, but she didn't expect her to believe him as soon as he said them.

This inadvertently increased his confidence.

"Since the Great River Union is like this, then let's go and look for it!" Liu Zhimo encouraged Big River by patting his shoulder. He thought that there was no hope, but who knew, hope was right in front of him.

"Alright …" Big River nodded his head, then turned and ran over to get his hoes, then followed Liu Zhimo and the others to the river side.

The river wandered around the riverbank before finally deciding on a location that was not too far away from the riverbank. He said that this location could be used to dig a well.

Hearing his words, Li Qingling immediately picked up her hoe and started digging.

Only after digging continuously for half a month did he finally dig out the water. The moment he saw the spring water, Li Qingling's eyes moistened.

Half a month's time was too hard to bear. Both his body and mind were exhausted.

Fortunately, they hadn't given up. If they had, they really wouldn't have been able to see the spring water.

After Li Qingling went up from the well, she gave him a big thumbs up and praised him. She knew that since she hadn't dug up any spring water in this period of time, he was under a lot of pressure.

Today, the spring water was finally out, and he could rest assured.

Big River scratched his head and laughed foolishly. He was completely relieved and did not let down everyone's expectations.

The few of them put down the well-built ring together and covered the cover of the well. Only then did they finish what they were doing.

Li Qingling sat paralyzed on the ground. Although she was very tired, she was very happy in her heart.

She did not expect to benefit from such a kind action.

For a young child like Big River, not only did he know how to drill wells, but he also knew how to drill rings. This truly surprised her.

If it weren't for him, they might really face the dilemma of not having enough water to drink in a few days.

Her eyes worriedly looked at the river which was about to reach its end. She didn't know how long it would take for rain to fall in this heaven that was so hot that it could kill people. When will this drought end?

She really couldn't take it anymore, she was so hot, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Let's go home." Li Qingling stood up and said in a loud voice. It was really too hot today, so sitting here for a minute felt like it was going to be cooked.

Liu Zhimo held the hoe and walked back with her side by side. Behind them, there were three boys.

Once she returned to the cave entrance, Li Qingling felt a gust of cold air pouncing out, causing her hot body to instantly feel more comfortable.

At this moment, she was very glad that she was living in the cave. If she was living in a house, it would be so hot that she would die from the heat.

The temperature was at least 40 degrees.

It's really hot...

"Elder sister …" Li Qingning was like a small penguin as she walked towards Li Qingling, constantly calling him Big Sis.

Li Qingling replied, she put down the hoe in her hand, squatted on the ground and spread her hands, waiting for Li Qingning to come over.

Li Qingning laughed out loud and threw herself into Li Qingling's embrace. Li Qingling kissed her on the cheek and asked her if she was obedient? Did you listen to elder sister Rou's words?

A child as young as Rou Rou had to take care of Li Qingning who was younger than her.

Even though she was small, when she took care of others, she still behaved quite well.

Li Qingning stretched out her hands and hugged Li Qingling's neck, pointing at her head, she stuttered as she said that she would listen to Sister Rou's and Sister Xi's words.

Hearing that, Li Qingling rubbed her little head and said it was good, then praised Liu Zhirou and Little River again, until both of their faces were red.

Li Qingning was a very obedient and sensible child, it was easy to take care of her.

"Xiao Lingjie, eat your meal. It's ready." Brook's face was red as he whispered.

Li Qingling suddenly felt that with the Creek, she would be able to help out a lot. With her at home, she could take care of the two little girls, and she could even cook and let them have food or porridge as soon as they came back.

"You've worked hard."

Creek shook his head and said it wasn't hard.

Xiao Lingjie was the savior of her and his brother. If not for Xiao Lingjie bringing them back, they would have starved to death.

It was only right for her to do some work.

Li Qingling laughed, and asked them if they had eaten yet.

"Yes." Before waiting for the stream to open its mouth, Li Qingning had already nodded her head, saying that she was done eating.

Seeing her silly expression, Li Qingling kissed her a few times, "Ghost spirit." She put Li Qingning back on the bed for her to play with and went to eat.

Before she could finish her meal, Tiger hurriedly ran back. Before she could call him over to eat, he bit her pants and dragged her outside.

Her heart thumped, Li Qingling quickly finished the remaining two mouthfuls of rice, and vaguely asked A Huang what happened.

Ah Huang was anxious, but it just couldn't speak. It turned in a circle, nudged Li Qingling's bow with its big head, and looked at Li Qingling.

Seeing Tiger like this, Li Qingling had a bad premonition in her heart.

She quickly went to pick up her bow and arrows, "Don't make any noise at home. I'll go with Tiger to take a look. What happened?" With that, she took her bow and arrows and followed behind Tiger.

Tiger took her to some remote roads, and she followed silently with a bow and arrow.

Tiger didn't stop until they reached a thorny patch of land. He looked at her and then looked outside.

Li Qingling did not even need Huang to remind her, she had already heard the voices of people talking outside.

She looked through the thorns and saw a group of men in soldier's clothes sitting on the ground and talking.

"I wonder how long this battle will last?" If this continues, we will be chopped to death or starved to death. "

"His Royal Highness didn't turn back earlier or later, he turned back during the drought. What can we do?"

"I've been eating porridge so much that my mouth has almost turned to a bird. I wonder if there's any prey hunting in the mountains?" "Let this father beat the tooth sacrifice."

"I'm going to rest a bit before going to take a look!"

Hearing their words, Li Qingling's mind was shaken, the hands holding the bow and arrow trembled.

These people were the troops of the Southern Swallow King. If they found her family, they would truly die without a burial ground.

She stealthily took a deep breath and gave Tiger a look. One man and one tiger, they quietly left.

When she was quite a distance away, Li Qingling started sprinting. If she did not hurry up, it would be too late.

"Tiger, go secretly find the Little White and head deeper into the mountains. Don't ever go against those villains, they have so many people and we can't beat them. We can only hide for a bit and wait for them to leave before coming back."

Li Qingling ran and told Tiger so. Tiger snorted and ran in another direction.

She ran back to the cave as fast as she could, and before she could even catch her breath, she had already moved the rocks piled up at the cave entrance, covering the cave entrance with her hands.

Since the last time they met the bear blind and Flower Leopard, they had to use rocks to block the entrance of the cave every night before they dared to sleep.

She had already seen it from the outside and had blocked the entrance with rocks. As long as she did not examine it seriously, it would be difficult for her to discover that this was a cave.

"What's wrong? What happened? " Liu Zhimo saw that Li Qingling was panicking, his heart sank as he asked her.

After blocking the entrance of the cave, Li Qingling heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "A group of Southern Swallow King soldiers is coming from Matsuyama. We'll hide inside first." Hopefully not.

Hearing that, Liu Zhimo's heart sank even more.
