"Let's go into the city and take a look."
As they spoke, they had already walked to the outskirts of the city gate.
Due to the severe drought, the number of soldiers at the city gate had doubled to prevent any unforeseen incidents.
Most townspeople are law-abiding, but there are some who want to take advantage of the situation for personal gain, as there are indeed those affected by the drought.
As their group entered the city, just as they did, the sound of someone beating a gong rang in their ears, followed by shouts about fetching water.
"Fetch water, fetch water!"
The next moment, they saw many townspeople, each holding various types of wooden barrels, rushing silently towards a specific direction.
"You stay here and keep watch, Lao San and I will go fetch water."
Even the soldiers guarding the city gate sent two people to fetch water because if they didn't, the soldiers at the gate would have no water to drink for the day.
