Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The further we go, the more water there is in the stream.

The group walked for nearly half an hour and finally arrived at a valley in the heart of the forest.

The valley is surrounded by mountains and dense forests.

As we entered the valley, the cool mountain breeze blew towards us, blowing away the heat from our bodies and making us feel refreshed.

Lin Yinan stopped and listened carefully. Besides the chirping of birds and cicadas, she also heard the sound of gurgling water.

She came to a place that seemed to be covered with weeds, raised her sword and slashed at the weeds wildly.

When she stopped, everyone could finally see clearly that the clear stream appeared again in front of everyone where she had split the river.

"The water here is still flowing!" Lin Shuo showed ecstasy on his face. He washed his hands, scooped up the water and put it into his mouth.

Su Kaifa bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and drank a sip. "This water is sweet and cool. It should be spring water flowing from underground. I just don't know where the spring is?"

Liang Wen stood up after drinking the water. When he heard him say there was a spring, he picked up the hoe brought by Lin Yiheng without saying a word, and followed the cut made by Lin Yinan to pull away the weeds.

The others rushed to help.

Seeing Lin Yinan sitting on a big rock to rest, Su Kaifa walked over and sat on a short piece of wood.

"City Lord Lin, as long as we find the spring and have people dig deeper and widen this long stream, irrigation of the rice fields in the city will not be a problem."

Lin Yinan nodded slightly, "I am now worried about the situation outside the city and in other villages below."

Many crops outside the city are planted on slopes, which makes irrigation more difficult.

The small stream was not far from the spring. When Lin Yiheng was cutting aquatic plants, he accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into the water. The water instantly covered his head.

"Ah Heng!" Lin Shuo exclaimed, "Quick, pull him up!"

Lin Yiheng had floated up by now, but the water was very deep and he had no one to support him. The water went over his head and his head felt like it was filled with paste. He opened his mouth to call for help but instead drank several gulps of cold water. His situation was extremely critical.

Pan Qingfeng broke off a branch and he and Liang Wen stretched it toward Lin Yiheng.

But Lin Yiheng grew up in the north and was a landlubber. The more he struggled, the more panicked he became and the deeper he sank. The more he struggled, the farther he was from the shore. His hands were entangled in the surrounding water plants, and for a moment he was unable to grab the branches that Liang Wen and the others had extended to him.

At this critical moment, everyone saw Lin Yinan jump into the water with a "splash".

She paddled around Lin Yiheng, came behind him, grabbed his hair with one hand and led him to the shore.

As soon as they got close to the shore, everyone worked together to drag Lin Yiheng ashore.

"Aheng, how do you feel?" Lin Shuo was terrified when he saw him fall into the water.

Lin Yiheng, who had drunk a belly full of water, waved at him, "Second Uncle, I'm fine."

He sat on the ground, his face pale with fear, and vomited out the water he had drunk.

"Then sit down and take a rest."

Lin Yinan was also pulled up by everyone.

Looking at Lin Yinan walking towards him, he belatedly touched his scalp which was hurt by being pulled.

Lin Yiheng said weakly, "Anan, why did you pull my hair when you went into the water to pull me out?"

"If I don't pull your hair, are you waiting for you to drag me down with you?" Lin Yinan rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

Lin Yiheng looked at his wet sister awkwardly. He quickly unbuttoned his coat, wrung out the water and put it on her.

Although Lin Yinan was wearing all black and nothing could be seen, it was not good to have water sticking to his body.

Lin Yinan did not refuse. She put on her clothes and buttoned them up to hide her curvaceous figure.

Seeing that the brother and sister were fine, everyone turned around and continued to work.

With Lin Yiheng's experience as a lesson, no one dared to move forward rashly. Instead, everyone first explored the surroundings with sticks before starting to cut the grass.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire appearance of the pool was revealed.

"Now I finally understand why we call this place Longtan." Liang Wen said with a smile while holding the hoe.

Lin Yinan walked around the pond, which was estimated to be about thirty square meters in size. It was surrounded by wild algae. The water was emerald green and clear, but one could not see the bottom at a glance.

Su Kaifa stroked his chin. Based on his observations when he came here, he had already calculated the time and number of people needed to repair the canal.

He said confidently, "The green water pool is rich in water. If we dig the stream a little deeper, we won't have to worry about running out of water."

"Master Su, how long do you think it will take to build this canal?" Lin Shuo asked. He was worried that his ambitions were too long and the crops in the fields would not be able to wait.

"We will organize people to dig early tomorrow morning, and then we will dig in groups and sections, and we will have water in one day."

"that would be great."

It took them a long time to climb the mountain, and the light around the valley gradually dimmed.

Lin Yinan guessed that it was getting late, "It's getting late, let's go back first."

She didn't tell anyone because she was afraid they would be scared. They were in the deep mountains and forests, and there might be wild beasts at night.

Everyone packed up their tools, and Lin Shuo and Liang Wen were reluctant to cut the grass.

"It would be great to take it back and feed the livestock."

They pulled over a few chicken shit vines and worked together to tie the weeds into four bundles, which Liang Wen and Pan Qingfeng carried on their shoulders.

Before they were out of the forest, it was completely dark.

Lin Shuo took out a tinder from his bosom and walked ahead along the way they came so that everyone would not get lost in the forest.

Lin Yinan was in charge of covering the rear, and Lin Yiheng looked back at her from time to time, fearing that she would fall behind.

A quarter of an hour after leaving the pond, the further they walked, the quieter the surroundings became. Even the chirping of insects and birds could no longer be heard. Gradually, Lin Yinan realized that something was wrong.

Her heart was becoming more and more uneasy!

So, he simply stopped and concentrated his inner strength to listen attentively.

Lin Yiheng turned around and found that his sister was missing. He was immediately shocked and hurriedly turned back to look for her, "Anan, where are you?"

Just when he was about to step on his foot, Lin Yinan grabbed his arm.

"Shh! Don't make a sound!"

Lin Yinan's heart was in a panic for a moment, and she didn't hear any sound.

She felt like she was being watched by a prey, and her scalp went numb. Without thinking, Lin Yinan quickly took out her night vision goggles and put them on.

Looking around, Lin Yinan finally found a leopard lying on a big tree behind him.

Under the night vision goggles, the stripes all over its body shone like gold coins.

At the same time she discovered the leopard, the leopard also discovered her.

Lin Yinan calmly took out a torch and a fire starter from the space and handed them to Lin Yiheng, "Hurry up and light the torch."

After doing all these actions, her eyes never left the leopard.

The leopard is the fastest animal in the world.

The leopard was lying lazily on the tree trunk, but Lin Yinan could clearly see that its ears were pressed back against its head and its tail was swaying gently.

She didn't dare to relax at all.

The moment the leopard jumped off the tree, Lin Yinan quickly drew out his sword, threw away the scabbard, jumped into the air with his feet, and slashed at the leopard with the sword filled with internal strength.

Something heavy hit the ground with a dull thud.

The torch in Lin Yiheng's hand lit up, and a few drops of warm stuff fell on his face. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, it was blood!

Looking at my sister again, she was bending down to pick up the scabbard on the ground. When she saw the torch light up, she reached out to touch the thing on her glasses, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What happened?"

As soon as he asked the question, there was an exclamation from the front.
