Bai Wutong looked into the well. As expected, the water level was very low.
Generally speaking, after water was fetched from the well, underground water would emerge from the ground.
However, with such a low amount of water, it was obvious that there was not much groundwater left.

They were at the border between the desert and the grasslands. It was very likely for conflict between the Central Plains people and the locals to happen. If they forcefully took water and did not give them a way out, the people of the southern frontier would probably be even more unwilling to submit to the management of the Ling Kingdom Imperial Court.
