My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 233 Teamwork
At this point, Old Xin's eyes lit up, and he pulled his daughter to sit down on the wooden stairs.

"Daughter, we found a lot more charcoal under the rubble. We've already notified everyone to collect it."

“We also found a spot where the ground was quite damp. We were wondering if we could dig down and find some groundwater?” Xin Wenyuan said, taking a few sips of orange-flavored vitamin C water. “Why don’t you come with me to take a look when you have some free time?”

Xin Nian nodded, "Okay, let's take my older brother with us and the three of us go check it out later."

"Dad, take a nap first, and we'll go later."

“My dear daughter, I’m out and about all day, look how sunburned my neck is.”

Xin Nian took out a small jar of ointment, "Apply some after you take a shower."

Xin Wenyuan had no objections, and asked his daughter for two boxes of men's face masks and a bottle of sunscreen spray before happily leaving.

Xin Nian sat on the stairs and looked up at the sky.

The trees had blocked most of the sunlight. But the light that filtered through the leaves was still very bright.

Xin Nian went to the training room to practice her supernatural abilities for a while, and then practiced on the wooden pillar and sandbag. When she saw that it was almost time, she went back to her room to take a shower and called her father and older brother to go out together.

Xin Wenyuan pointed in a direction, and Xin Nian pulled the two of them to teleport several times, but they teleported too far and had to turn back.

"Stop, stop, it seems to be around here." Xin Wenyuan pointed diagonally ahead. "This is it. I saw the markings we made earlier. Follow me."

The brother and sister followed Old Xin downhill for a while.

Xin Wenyuan put on gloves, squatted down, and touched the ground. "You two come and feel it, is it just Dad's imagination?"

The two siblings put on their gloves, stepped forward, touched the ground, and looked at each other.

"How did you find out?" Xin Nian asked curiously.

“There’s a young man in Zhoucun who’s really good at finding underground water sources. A few days ago, he volunteered to come to me and said he wanted to go out with our team to see if we could find any underground water nearby.”

"This young Zhou is a very good person. He's not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and he has good stamina. These past few days, he's been running with the brothers from Longhu Village, and he hasn't fallen behind in terms of pace."

Xin Nian nodded, directed Old Xin and her brother to move further away, and then unleashed several spatial blades that cleaved the ground.

With a loud rumble, a large hole appeared in the ground.

Xin Nian walked over and took a look. It looked like a natural basin with a lot of sand and gravel deposits.

Xin Wenyuan and Xin Mochen approached and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh dear!" "There used to be a river flowing through here. Now the terrain has changed a lot. Let's go down and take a look. Maybe it was an underground river that was later cut off by the mountain due to an earthquake."

Xin Nian pulled the two of them to the bottom, and the three of them strolled around the basin, touching this and that.

"Niannian," Xin Mochen called out, raising his hand to stroke the stone wall. "Can this be cut open?"

Xin Wenyuan also came over to look, "Will it collapse?"

“Hold me.” Xin Nian grasped her father and brother’s fingers with one hand, and with the other hand, several spatial blades flew out, slicing open the stone wall in front of her.

When half of the stone wall shattered, Xin Nian felt a tremendous force and quickly pulled her father and brother to the ground.

At the same time, the other half of the stone wall collapsed with a roar, and a torrent of water rushed out, filling the basin with half a meter of water in no time.

Xin Nian then pulled the two of them down and stood on a protruding rock to the side.

After testing the water quality with a water quality tester, Xin Nian turned to look at her father and brother, "The water is fine, it's okay for washing and rinsing. But if you're going to drink it, it needs to be filtered multiple times, so let's forget about drinking it."

To avoid getting an upset stomach and wasting medicine!
The water source wasn't far from their camp; for someone with a fast pace, it would only take about ten minutes to walk there.

But... Xin Nian looked up at the height of about ten meters above the ground, "You can't get down without some martial arts skills."

Both father and son looked at her. Xin Nian pouted and said, "I can create a spatial staircase, but that thing can only last for a day at most."

“Girl, mark this spot.” Xin Wenyuan grinned when he saw the girl giving him a cold look. “There’s no need for them to come and build the spatial stairs every day. Just have them come and fetch water every three to five days.”

"This way, Chen Ling and Mianmian can make more water balloons every day and store the water for future use."

Xin Nian thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright then."

After the three returned, they convened a meeting with representatives from each family and explained the situation to them.

Everyone is happy.

As it grew dark, the delegates followed Xin Mochen to find out the location of the water collection point.

You don't know until you come out; once you do, all the representatives are taken aback.

Their campsite in the woods was so much cooler than outside; it felt like they were in a completely different world!
Marquis Yongkang, Han Wanli, looked shocked. "Is it even hotter today than the day before yesterday?"

"Yes, yes!" Lord Chang of the eldest branch of the Chang family nodded repeatedly, "The feeling of heat is very abnormal."

Xin Mochen quickened his pace, "It's just ahead, let's go and come back quickly."

Han Zhao and Han Li carried the bucket and jogged along.

Xin Nian's spatial staircase is transparent, so it's definitely not a problem for superhumans to walk around, but there are many weaklings in the group. If they accidentally fall down, it would be a loss.

Therefore, Lao Xin specially asked his wife to lay a layer of green grass on the steps.

Han Zhao and Han Li rushed down the mountain, followed by a line of Dragon Tiger Stronghold brothers.

Lord Chang and Lord Han did not go down, but stood above the pit and looked around with a joyful expression.

Xin Mochen said to everyone, "This staircase will probably last for one day. Those who need to fetch water for a bath should go as soon as possible. If you are late and the staircase disappears, you will have to wait three days to make arrangements."

"I suggest that each of your representatives discuss this amongst themselves. Don't all rush over and waste time queuing up."

“Yes, yes, what the Third Young Master says is right.” Village Chief Zhou bowed to the representatives around him with excitement. “Let’s discuss the water usage time first.”

Seeing that they had started their discussion, Xin Mochen went back on his own.

He had only walked a few steps when he saw his third uncle, Xin Wen'an, carrying two empty buckets and running over with a worried look on his face. As soon as he saw him, his eyes lit up.

"Chen'er, Chen'er." Xin Wen'an quickly put down the bucket and stepped forward to pull him. "Can you do your third uncle a favor? Help your third uncle carry the bucket of water, okay? Your third uncle must take a bath today."

Nothing could stop him from taking a bath.

Xin Mochen glanced at him and reluctantly nodded.

The uncle and nephew walked down the spatial steps, and just as Xin Wen'an was about to jump into the water, Zhao Hu grabbed him by the back of his collar.

"Third Master, you can't jump!" How are the others supposed to wash their faces and clean the pots if they jump? They can smell the stench coming from Xin Wen'an from far away, and they can't let him spill a whole pool of water.

Xin Wen'an wanted to jump in and swim a couple of laps to wash off the musty smell...

But seeing everyone eyeing him covetously, he could only give up in frustration.

The two men each carried a bucket of water upstairs. When Xin Wen'an turned around, he saw that his nephew's bucket had vanished.

"Hey? Chen'er, where's your bucket?" This spendthrift brat, did he throw it away because it was too heavy?
