Novel Full Chapter 1097: The stream dried up
The coyotes did not dare to make a sound, they had been electrocuted and choked. If they dared to make a move then they would be a goner! The coyotes learned their lessons and then lay down on the ground like salted fish. Forget it, as long as they were alive, nothing else mattered.
But who would have thought that Yu Dong would end up roping them like pet dogs and then look down at them contemptuously? They were actually being disdained instead of being feared! Now that the coyotes were sentient they knew what kind of expression Yu Dong was making.
They looked up at her with a wary expression on their faces, the shackles on their neck were enough to make them feel uncomfortable but now that they were tied like pet dogs they were even more uncomfortable. They tried to shake their neck and then get rid of the shackles and ropes but no matter how they struggled the collars made with wood did not budge and stayed where it was.
Their struggle was to no avail.
” Don’t even think about breaking it. Though it looks weak, it’s made with my spiritual energy. Unless I die you will never be able to get rid of these collars. Accept your fate and follow me like good boys.”
Good boys? They were not dogs! Following a human would be their biggest humiliation!
Howl! The leader refused. They were willing to admit defeat but they would never follow a human.
Yu Dong looked at the coyotes and laughed lightly, she lowered her head and then sneered, ” Not only will you follow me but you will also help me carry those whom you have hurt.”
With that, she pulled the coyotes towards Lang and the mer, Jiang Ye.
However, how could the coyotes be willing to follow Yu Dong? They fought tooth and nail with Yu Dong. They dug their nails in the ground and shook their heads but as soon as they went against Yu Dong, they would end up getting choked. They no longer dared to run amok and could only follow Yu Dong like dogs.
The leader of the coyotes looked at Yu Dong with immense hatred, it could be said that because of Yu Dong, he had lost all his prestige and had suffered the greatest humiliation of all time. He wanted to bite Yu Dong’s head to send her to the underworld but he knew he could not as long as he made a move the one who would die would be him!

Yu Dong knew that the coyotes were upset which was why she released her spiritual energy and then said, ” Calm down, as long as you follow me you will not have to worry about meat.”
Then she picked up Lang and the mer before putting them on the back of the largest coyotes and then went to get her horse before returning to the village but as Lang was injured she did not dare to ride the horse way too fast. Based on her current speed, she would be able to meet with her husbands in a few hours.
She swallowed hard as she pushed the wave of dizziness that washed over her eyes. She had used her spiritual energy to summon men eating flowers and the thunderbolt later Yu Dong used it to make the coyotes sentient beings, how could she not be tired?
On the other hand, Chen Mi looked at the door which was open but showed no sign of Yu Dong. He looked down at Little Bun who was dressed impeccably and felt his heart hurt, today was Little Bun’s first birthday but Yu Dong was not here to celebrate it with Little Bun.
” Bah!” Little Bun pointed to the door and then looked up at his father, even though he was a child, he grew up drinking spiritual water and thus he was very smart. He knew that his mother was not at home and thus he could not help but ask his father where his mother went.
Chen Mi knew that his son was waiting for his mother but what he could do? His mother went to save Lang and if she did not return they would have to celebrate Little Bun’s birthday without her.
” It’s all right, daddy’s here,” Chen Mi told Little Bun before turning to Fang Chi who nodded and then let Bo Bo play with Little Bun even though Bo Bo was a really calm child and did not like to play around he was witty enough to understand that his big brother was in bad mood.
Thus in a rare moment of love for his big brother, he crawled over to the spot where Little Bun was sitting and then plopped down on the lap of his big brother. Don’t look down on him just because he was young, compared to Little Bun, Bo Bo relied on spiritual water and food even when he was in his father’s belly thus he was not only stronger than Little Bun, he could even crawl.
When compared to other kids his age, Bobo was simply too good!
Little Bun saw that his ever-silent brother was willing to play with him and thus lost interest in Yu Dong for a while but then there was a loud ruckus from outside causing Chen Mi and Fang Chi to look over.
” What do you mean by you want extra water? Old Ding looked at the stream and then spoke carefully, the stream has dried up and we have no other water sources other than these wells, how could you even think about using extra water?”
” I… I really don’t need much but three buckets why are you angry?”
” Bah, what do you mean by three buckets? When Yu Dong asked you to dig a well, you refused saying that the stream dries and fills up every month there is nothing to worry about. You did not pool the money and left us to deal with the mess, now that you don’t have any well in your house, do you think that you can pick and choose? These wells are used for our entire village!
You are only allowed to take two buckets and not one more! We have an entire summer to spend who knows when will it rain, do you want us to live on Mountain Dew?”
One of the villagers scolded Ding Jiayi.
Chen Mi did not go out, he knew that there were many villagers who did not believe Yu Dong, thinking that she was lying. It was years ago when the drought happened how could it happen again?
Thus they did not think too much and with Yu Dong building wells they all thought that they could take water from it as they wished but now that the stream had dried more than a hundred families who refused to build a well would take water from the wells how could they be allowed to take as much water as they wanted?
The villagers thought the same as Village head Gu looked at Ding Jiayi and then coldly snorted, ” Let me tell you something, Old Ding. If you and the rest of the villagers don’t want to die of thirst then you better not take more than two buckets, the summer is yet to start and the weather is cruel like this, do you think we will survive if you snatch water like this?”
” What? The stream dried up?”
” We can’t get more water?”
The bad news that the stream had dried up was spread all over the entire village in a few minutes. This was not a good thing if the stream had dried up then doesn’t that mean that they were going to rely on the wells that were dug up for the entire summer? Those wells were now the only water sources left.
Thus thinking about it they decided to keep an eye on the wells, they could not allow anyone to take an extra bucket. Because one extra bucket to another family was one less bucket for their family.
Everyone knew how important water was if the wells were to get dried up as well, then they would definitely die of thirst! So it was necessary to make sure that the wells remained filled, fortunately, Yu Dong was smart enough to dig the wells and did not listen to the words of the villagers because if she did then they all would be waiting for death just now!
Village head Gu looked at the panicked villagers and did not know what to do. Though Yu Dong was smart enough to dig wells with the current situation how long would these wells last?
” Old Gu what do you think? Do you think that everything will be well? Is this really okay? I mean setting up a limit for each family?”
Old Master Gu asked his wife as he looked at the villagers who were discussing the matter of the stream getting dried up.
” I don’t know whether the situation would become better or not but at least it would not get worse.”
