Since the village chief told Jiang Hu not to worry, Jiang Hu really didn't worry about it. Anyway, their home had water and food, so he didn't even step out of the house and went to the study to attend classes instead.
However, sometimes Jiang Hu would take a ladder, climb up to the roof, and check out the situation outside.
It was clear that there were still people fetching water from the mountain, but obviously not as many as before.
Jiang Hu specifically stood watch once—someone going up the mountain and coming down took at least an hour.
It seemed they still managed to get some water out, just not much of it.
By the fifth day of the new year, there were only a few sporadic people left going to the mountain to fetch water, probably realizing how hard it was to bring the water back, many came once and didn't return.
Well, Jiang Hu figured it out; seeing that everyone had stored quite a bit of water.
