The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

The team reached the foot of a big mountain and Ruyi found Zhou Jia, "Master, the water is almost gone and there is not much fodder for the livestock. We have to find water and fodder."

Li Yu turned to look at everyone's tired and sallow faces, and discussed with Zhou Jia, "I think everyone should rest here for a few days! If we continue like this, we will collapse."

Zhou Jia turned to look at the exhausted villagers and nodded, "Okay, let's find a flat place to live first and then look for water."

Li Yu walked to the village chief's oxcart and said to the village chief: "Village Chief Grandpa, we don't have much water and fodder. I think this mountain is quite beautiful. I think we can find a place to rest nearby." God, let everyone keep their spirits up."

The village chief licked his chapped lips and looked at the old scalper who was foaming at the mouth. "You may as well look for it. The fodder for the livestock disappeared yesterday. What's left is the beans that everyone feeds the cows and mules."

Li Yu discussed with the village chief and informed the team to stop, and everyone put their things on the roadside. Li Yu stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked around, and found that the terrain of the mountain road in front was gentler. He took the machete and walked towards the south mountain with Chen Yaohui and Ruyi.

The village chief took everyone at the foot of the mountain to cut dead grass and find fodder and young leaves to feed the animals.

Li Yu and Chen Yaohui Ruyi pushed aside the grass and shrubs and walked towards the mountain. They walked for more than an hour and looked at a mountain land in front of them. There were caves on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain.

Ruyi thought of the water she had replenished in the cave on the way, and pointed to the cave with a hopeful face, "Miss Li, do you think there will be spring water in the cave?"

Chen Yaohui stopped and put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily, "Let's go and see if there will really be water in the cave."

The three of them chopped down the bushes and vines on the road, cut a path and walked to a cave. After splitting the bushes at the entrance of the cave, mountain rats and hares ran out of the hole. Li Yu blew a fire stick and lit a dead branch, and walked away. When they got closer to the cave, they saw that there was no water in the cave and only some animal excrement. The three of them walked towards another cave in disappointment. They went to two places in succession but did not find any water source.

Chen Yaohui looked at the cave above with disappointment, "There is no water in the three below the little fish, so we don't need to look at the one above!"

Li Yu wiped his sweat and looked at the last cave above, "Since Uncle Chen is here, let's go check out the remaining cave!"

Chen Yaohui could only nod in agreement, and the three of them walked towards the last cave. Ruyi cut off the bushes at the entrance of the cave and walked into the last cave. They heard the sound of dripping water coming from inside.

Ruyi seemed to have heard the most beautiful voice and shouted excitedly to Li Yu, "Miss Li, come and see, there is water here." The loud voice echoed in the valley.

Ruyi shouted while cutting the bushes at the entrance of the cave. Li Yu and Chen Yaohui also rushed to the entrance of the cave, lit the dead branches and walked in. When they walked into the cave, they saw a pool under the rock wall, and water dripped into the pool from the top of the rock. , the water in the pool is crystal clear, and a mountain spring water as thick as a little finger flows out from the cracks in the cliff.

Chen Yaohui rushed over and quickly took two sips and drank it. He turned to look at Li Yu and said, "This water is so sweet. Let's go get them up quickly. Let's rest here for two days before leaving."

Li Yu nodded and took two mouthfuls of water to drink, moistening his dry throat that was about to smoke, and walked down the mountain with Ruyi and Chen Yaohui.

When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Chen Yaohui rushed down the mountain, hugged the village chief and laughed loudly, "Dad, we found water, there is water."

The village chief was suddenly hugged by his son and stiffened for a moment, then he smiled and patted his son, "The boss is not young anymore, but he is still so frizzy."

Everyone became happy when they heard that they had found water. Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's peeling smiling face and felt a sadness in his heart. He walked over and took Li Yu's hand and said softly: "Are you tired?"

Li Yu looked at him and nodded, "I'm a little tired but also very happy. We found water."

Seeing Zhou Jia looking at Li Yu tenderly, Chen Baozhen felt sad in her heart and whispered, "Hu Meizi, you are shameless."

Mrs. Li saw her jealous look next to her and whispered in her ear: "You are so shameless that you dare to covet Xiaoyu's fiancé, and you don't even pee and take pictures of yourself. Are you worthy of Mr. Zhou?" I advise you to stay calm and not embarrass our old Chen family."

Tears welled up in Chen Baozhen's eyes when she heard Li's words. She didn't dare to talk back to Li, so she stepped on the mud on the ground and rubbed it back and forth angrily.

Li looked at Chen Baozhen contemptuously and thought to herself: A shameless woman will suffer a lot in the future.

Everyone worked together to climb up the mountain. The weaker ones split the bushes on the mountain in front, and the stronger ones pushed the mule cart towards the mountain. It took more than two hours to reach the mountain peak and put the cart into the mountain. Unload the livestock and let the cows and mules graze on the mountains.

Chen Yaohui excitedly pointed to the three caves below and said loudly: "We saw that there was no water in the caves below. My heart went cold at that time, so I said forget about the small fish! If there is no water below, there is no need for the top. Look, Xiaoyu said that since everyone is here, let’s finish watching before leaving. Fortunately, we listened to her, otherwise we would have missed it.”

The village chief smiled angrily and patted him, "As you said, you are already dozens of years old and you are not as steady as a child."

The older man looked at the two men with a smile, "It's time to hit him, he's so frizzy."

Everyone lit torches and walked into the cave. When they saw the water pool, they all cheered. They scooped up a little bit of water with a ladle and swallowed it slowly, as if they were drinking nectar. It felt so sweet and delicious.

The village chief shouted excitedly to Chen Yaohui and Chen Zhong: "Quickly, go and bring the bucket and fill it with water."

After everyone drank water, He Xiaoyu pulled Zhaodi and Laidi, "Zhaodi, Laidi, let's go cut the grass for the cows." Li looked at the three of them and warned: "There are wild beasts on the mountain, don't go too far. It’s right around here.”

The three of them happily agreed. Zhaodi touched the grass on the ground and said, "I used to be annoyed when talking about cutting grass, but now I feel so happy when I look at the grass!"

He Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose playfully, "I have seen dead branches and hay every day for more than a month. There are bare branches everywhere. I have never seen anything green. Of course I find it gratifying!"

Li Yu asked Aunt He to take out the big iron pot, smiled at Mrs. Lin and said, "Congratulations on finding the water source. Let's have a big pot meal tonight."

Mrs. Lin smiled and clapped her hands, "Okay, let's eat the big pot rice. I also have taro, and the taro rice is also delicious."

"Okay." Li Yu responded and took out sausages and bacon from the bamboo basket. Mrs. Li also brought dried cowpeas. Aunt He and Li Mei washed the rice. The other women found some rocks and chopped some firewood. He set up three large pots. Li Yu sliced ​​sausages and bacon and stir-fried them with oil. Then he added taro and dried cowpeas and stir-fried them. Then he poured the rice in and added water to simmer.

Aunt He and Li Mei washed some streaky bacon and pork ribs, took out dried sauerkraut and cooked a large pot of sauerkraut soup. The fragrant sour taste and bacon flavor attracted the children to gather around the pot and salivate.

Two large pots of taro, sausage, bacon, cowpea stewed dry rice, plus a large pot of pickled cabbage soup, and finally some dry food were added. Everyone ate until they sat on the ground without moving.

The village chief looked at the sky and kicked Chen Yaohui, "Xiaoyu and the others will cook food for you. You go and clean up the cave, chop some firewood and sticks and pile them at the entrance of the cave. Let's sleep peacefully tonight." Night."

Chen Yaohui got up and took the people to clean up the cave. They tied a broom with withered grass and cleaned up the feces and stones in the cave. They also chopped some sticks and came back. They dug a hole and buried it in the soil to drive wooden stakes. , led the animals into the cave and tied them to wooden stakes, bowed and moved them into the cave, lit firewood at the entrance of the cave, and everyone separated to rest.
