I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

The excitement faded, the villagers left, and the Shen residence finally returned to peace.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the Shen family also left.

Shen Lianxin pulled Xu Guihua, "We agreed to stay here. You stay with me today."

Xu Guihua smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't leave today and will stay in your big house."

The two of them slept together at night, with Gu Chengzhen sleeping inside.

"Your bed is so big and comfortable. The quilt is so soft. Is it made of cotton?"

"Well. If you like it, I'll give you a set."

"I don't want it. I'm used to your quilt, what should I do with my old quilt? If you give me a quilt, it will last me a lifetime."

"Then I'll give it to you for the rest of your life." A quilt is not worth much.

"Oh, oh, oh! Look how generous you are. I must take advantage of you in the future!"

The two chatted and laughed and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly again, and the autumn weather was crisp and cool.

Xu Guihua went home and came back, "Lianxin, Lianxin! Something bad has happened."

Shen Lianxin was confused, "What's wrong?"

"The well at the entrance of the village is running dry. The villagers said that there is not much water left in the well, and they are lining up to get water. Come on, go and get some water."

Shen Lianxin had a new house with a well in the yard, so she didn't need to go to the public well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.

He quickly ran to his own well and drew a bucket of water.

“There’s water!”

Xu Guihua's eyes lit up. "I forgot that you dug your own well. Your well is new, so it might be deeper. But the well at the village entrance is really running out of water. If you don't go, I have to go quickly. If it's really a severe drought, people will die."

Shen Lianxin was shocked. The expected drought was about to come.

She immediately began to draw water. Although the well was hers, she didn't know when it would dry up if the drought continued.

Although she could buy water from the space mall, the deep well water in this mountain village was really cold and sweet, which she could not drink in modern times.

After buying dozens of large barrels in the mall, Shen Lianxin began to stockpile water. The water here tastes very good, and Shen Lianxin wanted to stockpile as much as possible.

After working for a whole morning and stockpiling dozens of barrels, Shen Lianxin was so tired that beads of sweat covered her forehead.

After sitting in the pavilion to rest for a while, he brought some milk to Gu Chengzhen and asked her to drink it.

"Fourth sister, fourth sister!" A hurried voice came from the door.

When Shen Lianxin opened the door, she saw that it was Shen Lai Fu, who was carrying two buckets of water to Shen Lianxin.

"Hurry, Fourth Sister, the well at the village entrance is running dry. I queued all morning and only managed to draw water three times. My wife asked me to bring it to you this time."

Shen Lai Fu walked towards the yard and said, "Where is the water tank? I'll pour it in for you. I have to go drain it again."

Leading Shen Lai Fu to the water tank, Shen Lianxin was busy storing water in the space. The water tank at home was only half full of water.

With a crash, Shen Laifu hurried out.

"Second brother, there is water in my well." Shen Lianxin quickly grabbed him.

"Oh! Okay, I'll go get you two more buckets to fill the water tank." Shen Lai Fu did not slow down and stood up and was about to leave in a hurry.

"Brother, there is water in my well. You don't have to go to the village to get it."

"Ah! Ah? There is water in your house?" Shen Lai Fu finally heard it clearly and looked at her in surprise.

Shen Lianxin led Shen Laifu to the well, "This is a newly dug well, maybe it's deep, there's still a lot of water. Let's dig it quickly."

"Oh!" Shen Lai Fu was happy and hurried to fetch water.

Outside the door, Xu Guihua came in again, "Lianxin, Lianxin, the well at the village entrance is dry. This time it's really dry. There's not a drop of water left. The last few buckets were half filled with mud and half filled with water."

Seeing Shen Laifu fetching water, Xu Guihua lowered her voice and said, "Lianxin, my boss has been queuing for the whole morning and only got three buckets of water. Is that possible? Is that possible?"

Xu Guihua's meaning was obvious, but in this year of severe drought, water was as precious as life. Shen Lianxin had water, and no matter how good their relationship was, it was embarrassing for her to ask for it so openly.

"Yes, go get a bucket." Shen Lianxin held her hand. They could still hold on without food, but they couldn't survive without water.

Xu Guihua was so happy when she heard this that she hurried home to get a bucket. "I'll just get two buckets to fill up the water tank."

Shen Lai Fu had a complicated expression. This fourth sister was naive and probably didn't know how precious water was at this moment.

"Fourth sister, you can't let anyone know that there is water in your house." Shen Laifu hesitated. "You still have to protect yourself first."

Shen Lianxin understood that she was not short of water, so she wanted to help if she could.

"I understand, second brother." Shen Lianxin nodded.

Shen Lai Fu also left with his water, and Xu Guihua and Zhang Lianfu also left with two buckets of water.

Shen Lianxin took Gu Chengzhen out and took a walk around the village.

Sure enough, the well was dry.

Shen Lianxin knew that if one well dried up, her family’s well would not last long.

The head of the village called everyone to a meeting.

Everyone frowned.

"We are all here today for two important matters. Both are closely related to our lives, even our lives."

The village head cleared his throat and continued.

"Everyone knows. First, it's food. The worst drought in 10 years may be coming. The village has started to harvest food these days. This year's harvest is not good. After paying taxes, it's hard to survive with the remaining food. Second, the more difficult thing is that the well at the entrance of the village has dried up."

The head of the village sounded somewhat sad. These damned years, there is no way for the common people to survive.

The villagers began to talk about it and sigh.

"Li Zheng, what should we do?"

"Yes, Li Zheng, if we don't have food, we can still go up the mountain to dig some vegetables. But if we don't have water, it will be fatal."

"Yes, yes! What should we do?"

Shen Lianxin also began to worry unconsciously. She asked in her mind, "Tongzi, what's going on? Is there really going to be a drought? What is the plot of this book? Tell me."

Tongzi replied speechlessly, "The wells are all dry, so it must be a severe drought. Is there any need to ask?"

Here we go again. This Tongzi is like a child who deserves a beating. He never speaks in a way that makes people feel comfortable.

"I have never experienced a severe drought. How can I deal with this?"

Tongzi, "Just wait. You don't lack water anyway. The mall can contact the 21st century for supplies. What are you afraid of?"

Shen Lianxin was speechless. Of course she was not afraid, but what should she do with these people? She couldn't just keep taking water out of the space to provide for them.

Don't treat her like a monster then. Just let her watch and do nothing? Just like the plague, who could have the heart to watch so many people die in front of their eyes even though they had the ability to save them?

Tongzi is Tongzi, he won't understand her feelings. Shen Lianxin doesn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

"Now, there are only two ways." The head of the village spoke, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Or we can find a new source of water and food. After all, there are mountains. If that doesn't work, we can go up the mountain and compete with wild animals for food. At least there is a chance of survival." The village head looked gloomy. This deep mountain is a primitive forest, full of dangers and ferocious beasts. If we really reach out to the mountains, the villagers will inevitably be killed or injured.

"Or, flee from the famine."

As soon as these two words came out, the discussion among the crowd increased again.
