o, just tell me. If I'm able, I'll definitely help you."Her villa still needs to be built by Li Muhai.Li Muhai mustered his courage and spoke, "I, I would like to request from Lady Zong that my wife a...After finishing his meal, Zong Bai wiped his mouth and left with his things.

In fact, Fang Jinshu also wanted to go and see the place where they were digging the canal, but she wasn't comfortable leaving Mu Shi alone at home. So she didn't say anything.

Under the scorching sun, most of the young and strong men in the village came to dig canals. However, after such a long drought, even the young and strong had been emaciated by hardship.

There are also some older people, at a glance they seem to be pushed out by their selfish and unfilial children who fear death.

Few people are truly capable, besides him and Zong Hu Tie Zhu, there are three young men who can be considered strong.

The rest of the people were either too old or too young, and with this small team they went into the mountains to try and dig a canal to bring water to the village.

Even Lian Zongyu couldn't help but frown, it was like a madman talking about his dreams.

When will this be dug up

Tiezhu and Zongyu led the way, and he felt more and more familiar with the road as they walked.

Looking at the time, it was already noon. The crowd had been walking for nearly two hours and hadn't reached their destination yet. The villagers, young and old, clearly showed signs of exhaustion.

Everyone was so hungry they could barely walk, how could they possibly dig a canal

"Let's just have everyone find a place to rest here for now, but don't go too far. The mountains are dangerous, it's best not to leave the group's sight."

Before going up the mountain, everyone had signed a risk agreement and the village head explained it to them clearly.

For their own lives, no one dared to run around in the mountains.

The village head, Wang, really didn't expect that the villagers would be so physically weak after going up the mountain. They hadn't even reached the water source yet, and they were all exhausted. How could they possibly dig a canal like this

He anxiously asked his son, "Tie Zhu, how far is the place where you found the water source"

The wild mountains are really vast, with several peaks connected together. Even Tie Zhu hasn't been up here many times.

He originally thought he hadn't taken the wrong path, but after being asked by his biological father like this, he became somewhat unsure.

"It should be just about here, I remember this is the right direction."

Seeing his son's uncertain expression, Village Head Wang could only sigh and turn to walk towards Zong Yu.

Zongyu was talking to Zonghu over there.

"Ah Yu, too many people from the village, young and old, have come. Without food and drink to sustain them, I'm afraid they won't be able to dig the irrigation canal."

This point also reveals his integrity.

But now, whose grain is not more precious than life itself Who would be willing to provide it for the teams digging the irrigation canals

Before he left, he asked the village headman to inform the villagers that they should bring their own food when going up the mountain, so as not to faint from hunger and trouble others.

Looking at the villagers before him, their eyes glazed over with hunger, it was clear they hadn't listened to the village head.

"Tiger Brother, did your family prepare some food for you I'm starving," a young man leaning against a tree beside Zong Hu asked, grabbing at his clothes.

Zong Hu angrily pulled his hand away, "You're looking for something to eat Didn't we tell you all to bring your own dried food before going up the mountain"

The young man smiled bitterly. "Who even has spare rations these days"

"Don't you all just go out every day to dig wild vegetables and gnaw on tree roots"

"Are we really able to dig a canal like this We might all starve to death in the mountains before we even get there."

The youth's words spoke the hearts of everyone.

Especially those who were forced out by their families, one by one with almost desperate numbness on their faces. They felt like they weren't here to dig canals, but rather to come and die.

Zong Hu looked visibly agitated.

Village head Wang walked up to Zongyu with worry etched on his face, "Zongyu, look at this, what are we going to do"

We've been walking for too long, everyone is tired.

Tie Zhu also chimed in, "That's right, Zong Yu ge, aren't you pretty familiar with the mountains You should think of a way."

Zong Hu originally never cared about trivial matters like family reputation, and treated this cousin like a stranger.

Since Fang Jinshi saved Xiao Xiaohu, Zong Hu's attitude had undergone a significant change. Moreover, after Wang Yan'er returned, she constantly reminded him that one should be grateful and reciprocate kindness.

Zong Hu didn't say a word and followed the team digging irrigation canals up the mountain, all to help his brother Zong Yu.

Upon hearing Tie Zhu's words, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

"What do you mean Ayu knows the mountains well, at most he can only guarantee that you won't be attacked by wild beasts."

"Can you still control your eating, drinking, urination, and defecation"

Tie Zhu was speechless after being scolded, but Wang Village Head's gaze remained fixed on Zong Yu. His meaning was very clear: he had already put the entire burden of digging the water channel on him.

I hope that the reputation can solve all problems.s, why were Jade Lotus and Zong Bai so hesitant last night"Fang Jinshi smiled, "Because the two of them also wanted to go along for the fun, I didn't let them, and even scolded them.""I guess I was a...
