Jiang Xia and her family had already obtained more than the others. If they appear too eager, it might cause dissatisfaction among the other villagers.

Therefore, Zhou Lan led Jiang Xia to wait for Jiang Chuan at the mountain’s exit. To others, it looked like they were worried about her husband’s safety, and not many people gossiped about it.

Zhou Lan’s apparent anxiety wasn’t entirely an act for the villagers. She was genuinely concerned for Jiang Chuan’s safety.

Even she, with her immense strength, wasn’t confident she could escape from the ferocious wolf pack unscathed. Last time, they were able to escape only because Shen Mo’s team had handguns that helped them fend off the wolves.

Although they had hunting rifles in their hands, they had not used them for a long time, and the hunters had been out of practice for so long. Facing a hungry wolf pack that had just lost its cubs, there was no guarantee that accidents wouldn’t happen.

They waited until the sun was about to set, and everyone became anxious.

Some of the women, who had not seen their husbands come home for such a long time, were scared and worried that something had happened to them. They couldn’t help but start to tear up, initially silently, but as the atmosphere grew tenser, more and more people started crying, gradually filling the air with sobs.

The village chief was worried as well, but he couldn’t scold these women who were concerned for their husbands. He could only comfort them, saying, “Don’t worry, there are many of them. They will be fine.”

Although he said that to reassure them, it was getting quite late. The sun was almost completely set, and the moon was slowly rising. The village chief felt uneasy too.

Jiang Xia knew that waiting like this was not a solution. After spending a whole day on the mountain, everyone would certainly be exhausted. It was better to prepare something for them to replenish their energy when they descended.

Jiang Xia led Zhou Lan to look for a water source nearby.

Jiang Xia could give everyone the water from her interspace directly, but the effect of the water was too strong. Just one or two sips of it would invigorate people remarkably. Moreover, the water was sweet like sugar. Once people drank it, they would notice the difference and would definitely suspect Jiang Xia’s family. Therefore, she could only find some water source and mix it with the interspace water for the villagers to drink.

Fortunately for Jiang Xia and the others, they looked around and found a small spring under a crack in the rock.

The spring was located in a depression in a stone, shaped like a bowl. Water bubbled from the bottom of this stone, but it would stop flowing once it reached the edge of the “bowl.”

Jiang Xia used a water bag to scoop out the water from this stone bowl, but it was only enough to fill half of the bag.

Just as Jiang Xia was starting to feel disappointed, water began bubbling from the spring again, soon refilling the stone bowl. She quickly and happily filled her water bag once more.

Jiang Xia had hoped for another bowlful of water, but the spring stopped flowing. It seemed that in these dry times, a constantly flowing water source didn’t exist.

Out of respect for nature, Jiang Xia poured some water from the water bag into the stone bowl and filled the empty space with water from her interspace.

After she sealed the bag tightly, she shook it a few times to mix the waters.

Soon after, they heard someone shouting, “They are coming down! They are coming down!”

Upon hearing that Jiang Chuan was descending, Zhou Lan, holding Jiang Xia’s hand, rushed towards the path down the mountain. Their pace was so fast it could be described as flying.

Being pulled along, Jiang Xia stumbled, thinking bitterly that while her mother was eager to see her father, she should consider that Jiang Xia, being only thirteen, had short legs and couldn’t keep up!

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan in the crowd, Zhou Lan disregarded the people around her. She rushed over and hugged Jiang Chuan tightly, burying her head in his neck.

Jiang Chuan, knowing that his wife must have been very worried, comforted her by patting her shoulder, saying, “It’s alright now, let’s go home.”

Seeing the affectionate reunion between Jiang Chuan and his wife, the villagers teasingly cheered from the side.

Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Xia handed the water bag to Xiao Wu, who was leading the group, and said, “Uncle Xiao Wu, this is the water I found over there. Our uncles must be exhausted. Please distribute this to them quickly.”

Impressed by such a thoughtful child, Xiao Wu genuinely appreciated her gesture and found himself hoping that he might have such a considerate child in the future..
