Gu Yunxi sighed and sat on the stone slab beside the well.

Suddenly, a child, about two or three years old, moved cautiously, approached her, and looked at her eagerly.

"Madam, you are so beautiful! As beautiful as my mother!" A child's tender voice sounded, making Gu Yunxi stunned and look at the child.

Gu Yunxi smiled at him and asked, "You are so young, how can you understand what is good-looking and what is not?"

Although she was indeed good-looking, Gu Yunxi didn't believe it when a child said it.

The child nodded seriously and said, "My mother looks just like you, both are pretty! It's a pity that my mother is dead!"

As the child spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. His already cracked lips became even crackier as he cried, and blood could be seen oozing out.

An elderly woman came over in a hurry, put her arms around the child, and apologized to Gu Yunxi: "I'm so sorry, I was away for a while, but my grandson was really thirsty, so I asked you for some water."

After saying this, the old woman picked up the child and turned to leave.

Gu Yunxi was stunned and hurriedly called to the old woman: "Auntie, your grandson didn't ask me for water just now, you don't have to apologize to me."

"Just now he just said that I look a bit like his mother. Who is the mother of this child?"

Having said this, Gu Yunxi paused, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked so many questions, so she quickly added: "Ah, it's also my fault for asking so many questions, Auntie, I'm so sorry."

Seeing that Gu Yunxi was kind, the old woman sat down next to her, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's not a secret, my poor second daughter-in-law is dead."

"She went to get some water. She finally found some water and brought it back in a wooden bucket. But someone spotted her on the way. Not only did they take the water away, they also pushed her down."

"When I found out that my daughter-in-law hadn't returned, I went out to look for her. I saw her lying on the side of the road, motionless, with blood gushing from her head. She was no longer breathing."

Gu Yunxi was stunned when he heard this. What kind of thing was this? A life was lost for a little water?

Has the world become so crazy?

The old woman looked at the dry well with cloudy eyes and continued, "I don't know how long we can hold on like this. God wants us to die!"

Gu Yunxi didn't say anything, but just frowned and folded his hands together.

"Oh, God! I've lived for decades and have never done anything that was against the law. I've never taken a single needle or thread from others. Why is it that such an honest and decent family like mine is going to have no descendants?" The old woman looked up at the sky and wailed again.

She hugged her grandson tighter in her arms, her face filled with despair. Who could save them?

Gu Yunxi took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.

"Madam, perhaps there is water in the well again? Can you come and have a look tomorrow morning?"

The old woman was very surprised to hear Gu Yunxi say this, and a trace of desire appeared in her cloudy eyes: "Really? Is it true? If God doesn't rain and the wells are dry, can water be produced again?"

Gu Yunxi nodded firmly: "Yes, I will! I had a dream last night. I dreamed that an old immortal came to me and said that there was water in the well suddenly. Otherwise, I would not have come today."

"But the old immortal didn't tell me whether there would be water today or tomorrow."

"I think it will be either today or tomorrow, Auntie. You should come early tomorrow and prepare the bucket. Maybe you can get a full bucket of water!"

Hearing Gu Yunxi's words, the old woman's eyes sparkled with a desire to live, and she nodded towards Gu Yunxi: "Okay, okay, I will come and see you early tomorrow."

"Madam, if there is water tomorrow morning, I will bring my grandson to thank you in person!"

Gu Yunxi smiled and waved his hands, saying, "No need, it's not my credit. If you really want to thank someone, then thank the old immortal in my dream."

After saying that, Gu Yunxi stood up and left with Xiao Cui.

The old woman held her grandson in her arms and watched Gu Yunxi leave. For some reason, she felt that what Gu Yunxi said was very likely true. After all, what Gu Yunxi dreamed of was a god!

Gods will never lie and will never deceive people.

By nightfall, there was no one on the street and it was quiet all around. Gu Yunxi watched Lu Jianchuan snoring softly, quietly lifted the quilt and got up.

"Shuangqiu, escort me to the well on the street." Gu Yunxi called softly into the darkness.

Soon, she was pulled up, flew to the corner of the wall, left the Lu family, and came to the well on the street.

Everything was silent and pitch black all around. Gu Yunxi found the right spot, walked towards the well, and gently placed his hand on the edge of the well.

The spiritual spring water in the space flowed down along the edge of the well.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Gu Yunxi listened to the sound of water and felt that the well was almost full, so he withdrew his hand and slowly stood up.

She felt her legs were numb and she couldn't stand up. She whispered, "Shuangqiu, take me back home."

Upon hearing this, the secret guard Shuang Qiu immediately picked up Gu Yunxi and used his lightness skills to send her back to the mansion.

Gu Yunxi tiptoed back into bed. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

The next morning, she was woken up by Xiao Cui.

"Madam, this is incredible. There is water in the well at the corner of the street this morning! I went out to see that many people were lining up to get water!"

Xiao Cui asked in a panic, "Madam, do we need to arrange for someone to fetch water?"

When there was water in the well at the street corner before, the mansion arranged for servants to fetch water. Now Xiao Cui can't make up her mind, so she can only ask Gu Yunxi for instructions first.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi did not wake up today. Xiao Cui waited and waited for a whole hour. When she could not wait any longer, she mustered up the courage to wake Gu Yunxi up.

Gu Yunxi rubbed his sleepy eyes, as if not surprised at all, and nodded at Xiao Cui.

"Well, just arrange two people to fetch water. Fetch two buckets."

Xiao Cui nodded when she heard this, and immediately turned around and went out to do it.

Gu Yunxi got up, washed, and had breakfast. He felt in a very good mood. He turned around and walked out of the house through the side door and looked along the street.

From a distance, she saw officials guarding the well, and people lined up in a long queue, all holding buckets and pottery jars in their hands, waiting to fetch water.

There was no more dejection on anyone's face; instead, there was excitement, excitement and hope.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yun smiled happily.

She hesitated for several days about this matter, but in the end she followed her heart and did this thing. It could be considered as bringing hope of survival to the people, right?

She doesn't ask for anything in return, just hopes that no one will discover her secret.
