In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 108 The Well Has Run Dry

Wei Qing smiled bitterly: "If that's all, that would be fine."

Seeing that his voice was a little hoarse, Luo Xi poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Don't be in a hurry, drink some water to moisten your throat and then talk slowly."

Wei Qing was indeed very thirsty, so he didn't refuse. He took the drink and took a few big gulps. His throat, which was almost smoking, finally felt better.

At this time, he also noticed Si Jia standing beside him: "This, this, this... County Magistrate Si?"

Why is he here?

Wei Qing stared at Luo Xi blankly, and even forgot what he was about to say.

"Look how chaotic this is?" Luo Xi quickly told him what had happened in the past two days and the agreement that had been reached with Fengchuan County.

"So, County Magistrate Si will come to Tongning County often in the future?" Wei Qing's eyes lit up with joy.

Magistrate Si was a role model for the younger generation of scholars and writers in Tianqi. He had wanted to ask him many questions for a long time. Although he had met him several times before, he never had the chance.

Luo Xi understood Wei Qing's look very well. Before the end of the world, those people saw their idols in exactly the same way as he does now.

Si Jia was also very happy to see Wei Qing: "It's great to see that County Magistrate Wei is safe and sound."

After hearing what he said, the light in Wei Qing's eyes dimmed a little, but when he saw Luo Xi beside him, his smile returned.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I could live to this day, all thanks to the boss, otherwise, all of us would have turned into a pile of bones now."

Si Jia nodded: "Master Luo does have a chivalrous heart."

Luo Xi was so overwhelmed by their praise that he said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"What have you been doing recently? How did you get yourself into such a mess?"

"Hiss, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten." Wei Qing was anxious again: "You know, the reason why our Tongning County has been able to hold on until now is because there is more well water here, but now..."

"In just a few days, more than a dozen villages have come to me to report that their wells have run out of water."

“If we can’t find another source of water, we won’t be able to survive even if we have food.”

"Master Wei, this is impossible." Liu Xiaoyu was in charge of all matters in the villa. She knew this matter best. "I went to check it this morning. Nothing was missing."

The weather has been getting hotter recently, and she was worried that there wouldn't be enough water in the villa, so she went to check every day, but she didn't see any shortage of water.

Luo Xi: "..."

She pours water into it every midnight, it would be strange if there was less.

"Let's go to the village first."

Luo Xi looked at Si Jia apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, County Magistrate Si. Why don't you go back and rest first? I'll let you know when I have enough seeds."

"It's nothing. Business is more important." Si Jia smiled, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "Can I go with you?"

"Yes." Wei Qing was happy: "Master, the prefect of Si County is knowledgeable and well-informed. If he goes there, he might be able to find a solution."

"Master Wei, you are too kind." Si Jia smiled modestly: "I just read a few more books. There is really no solution to natural disasters and man-made disasters."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be running around looking for a way out now.

"It's okay, let's go together." Luo Xi didn't care. She stood up first and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

When they arrived at the nearest village, many people had already gathered around the well, each of them carrying buckets and looking sad, as if the sky was about to fall.

"What should I do? I only have half a bucket of water at home. Will I die of thirst in a few days?"

"My house is worse than yours. There's nothing left. I wanted to come over to get some water, but look at this..."

The aunt who was speaking lifted up the bucket in her hand, and everyone looked and saw that it was not water at all, but mud.

"Why don't we go back to the town and spend the night there? I think we can get some water out."

"This is the only way." Auntie sighed as she looked at the half bucket of muddy water.

"The boss is here, please get out of the way." At this time, someone shouted.

"What? The Boss!" Everyone was excited, as if they had seen a savior, and they all made way for him.

In their eyes, there is no problem in this world that the boss cannot solve.

"We are saved now."

Luo Xi: "..."

No, not really.

Si Jia was shocked. He never expected that Luo Xi had such a high prestige among the people.

Luo Xi followed the path made clear by the people, walked to the well, and looked inside carefully.

There was really only a shallow layer of mud and water left.

"Is there only one well in the village?" she asked.

A middle-aged man came out. He was the village headman. "Hey, boss. We had one more, but it was dried up a long time ago. It's even less useful than this one."

Otherwise they wouldn't have to worry so much.

Luo Ximing nodded and went to check the water wells in several villages. The situation was similar. In the well of the best village, only one third of water was left. All the villagers were in a panic.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Wei Qing was scratching his forehead in worry.

"Go back first."

Because this was a big deal, Luo Xi called everyone else over, including Xiao Yi, Yin Li, Zhou Cang, and Rong Bai.

After everyone arrived, he told them about Si Jia. After they exchanged greetings, Luo Xi asked, "Tell me what ideas you have?"

"Boss, don't ask me. My family is running out of water." Rong Bai said dejectedly.

"What? It's the same in your city?" Luo Xi looked at him.

"Yes." Rong Bai said weakly: "Recently, many people have come to the county government to ask, but I'm not the Dragon King, what can I do?"

"Oh, Boss, the water in the river at the foot of our mountain has long dried up. I'm afraid we won't be able to plant winter wheat by then." Zhou Cang also sighed.

Hearing everyone say this, Yin Li was surprised: "It seems that the well in our villa is still the best. I went to check it out today, and the water level has not dropped at all."

Luo Xi: "..."

"Really?" Rong Bai finally regained some spirit. "Then, Boss, can I come over and take two trucks back?"

Luo Xi glanced at him and said, "Pull it, anyone who wants to pull it can do it."

Anyway, she doesn't have much left in her space, and they will be thirsty together after taking a shit. However, she will leave some for herself, so she will be fine even if anyone dies of thirst.

Wei Qing was also happy: "Master, you are so kind. I will talk to the villagers and ask them to come and pick some."

Luo Xi: "..."

Looking at her expressionless face, Si Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Everyone then realized that they had lost track of what they were talking about, and they couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Boss, why don't we go to the mountains to look for him." Yin Li was the first to react and suggested.

"You can try this." Si Jia also agreed: "Generally, in places with many trees in the mountains, there will always be water seeping out, or there will be springs or something like that."

"Okay." Luo Xi had no better idea for the moment: "Xiao Yi, tell the soldiers not to train recently, and go find a water source together."

"Yes, the boss."

That's how it was decided.
