Chapter 26 The Rise of the Little Village Girl (4)
Su Zhan got up early in the morning. Most of the children in the countryside are free-range animals. They have been running around in the mountains and rivers since they were young.
As the child king of Lihua Village, Li Quyue's favorite thing to do is to take a bunch of little kids everywhere.
Going up to the mountains around Lihua Village and down to the surrounding rivers, there was no place they dared not go.
If it were modern times, many parents would not worry about their children wandering around places where snakes, insects, rats and ants are infested.
But in small villages of this era, except in winter, you can sometimes see various snakes, insects, rats, and ants even at home. Therefore, children in every household are very courageous and are not afraid of these things at all.
No, a little girl who ran out with Su Zhan picked up a snake from the crack of the stone, pressed its seven inches tightly, ignoring the snake's body and wrapped it around her arm. She was pleasantly surprised.
He shouted to Su Zhan, "Yueyue, do you see what I caught?"
Su Zhan took a look at the snake she had captured, and felt a little strange. This kind of creature likes warmth, and the current Lihua Village is obviously not in line with its living environment. Why do snakes appear here?
Su Zhan's eyes narrowed, he turned over the stone where the little girl caught the snake, squatted down and twisted the soil on the ground with his hands, and then touched the surrounding soil.
She suddenly had a guess in her mind, and after decisively using her soul power to explore the situation below, Su Zhan's lips curved into a smile.
It seems that God has left a glimmer of hope for the people living in this area.
"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?" The little girl catching the snake looked at her friend's movements in confusion, and squatted down with the same curiosity.
"It's nothing." Su Zhan moved the stone back without changing his expression, and then said, "Let's go look elsewhere."
By the way, let’s take a look and see if there are any places like this around Ewha Village.
In one day, apart from eating, Su Zhan and his friends basically traveled to all the surrounding areas.
As expected, she found several more places with underground water sources.
This Lihua Village is indeed very lucky, but in Li Quyue's life, no one thought of going to the underground water source.
Because it is difficult to accurately find places containing underground water sources with current technology, but to this world, Su Zhan seems to exist like a bug in the game.
The same thing is always much simpler in the hands of a non-human like her.
After writing down these places, Su Zhan went home.
After a few more days, the villagers in Lihua Village finally couldn't help but panic.
Half a month ago, there was no water to irrigate the crops in the soil, but now even people have no water to drink. How can we not make people panic?
Can people still live without drinking water?
Not only Lihua Village, but all surrounding villages began to become restless.
Suddenly, water is more expensive than oil.
From ancient times to the present, when natural disasters occur, they are always followed by man-made disasters.
Some people with evil intentions and people who really can't live a good life actively or passively do things that violate laws and disciplines, and from then on they become bandits and bring harm to the village.
After raiding some villages, this group of bandits set their sights on the villages around Baihua Town, but just as they were about to take action, they were suddenly cleared out by people sent by the Shanling Palace.
From the beginning to the end, these bandits didn't know why Shanling Palace moved so quickly and accurately to find their location.
Although there were riots, under the orderly arrangements of Shanling Palace, these bandits who had made a big fuss in their previous lives disappeared.
After doing all this, the little princess kept her merit and fame deep in her heart, shook her fan and prepared to find her sweetheart.
Li Xiaoyu has been feeling uneasy these past few days, but he doesn't know exactly what he is worried about.
But when he heard that a rare drought in decades had occurred around Baihua Town, something clicked in his mind, and he immediately understood where the uneasiness of the past few days lay.
Fortunately, he received a handwritten letter from his father, saying that he would bring his family to meet him in Shanling City, and he felt relieved.
The Shanling Private School where Li Xiaoyu studied was named after Shanling, so it was naturally not far from Shanling City.
In order to prevent his second son from running back and missing his family, Li's father sent a message to him in advance and asked Li Xiaoyu to wait for them in Shanling City.
Originally, Father Li planned to let his daughter take refuge in Shanling City, but he changed his mind after his third daughter, Li Quyue, mysteriously told him that she had discovered a water source.
Father Li followed Su Zhan to the place where the little snake-catching girl had caught the snake that day, and moved the stone away. Father Li looked at it and saw that it was similar to the surrounding soil, and he couldn't help but asked suspiciously, "Is there really water here? Yue'er,
Don’t fool daddy.”
Su Zhan said seriously, "Dad, you just need to have someone dig this place to find out if there is water."
Father Li knew that his third daughter was usually very naughty, but he had never deceived him. The water source was a big deal now.
Father Li thought for a moment, then randomly found a reason, went to the village to invite a few strong young men, paid some money, and asked them to dig a hole where Su Zhan pointed out.
Although it is very puzzling, Li's father is very respected by people in Lihua Village, and then even if it is not for Li's father's face, he must act for the sake of money.
After digging all morning, I found nothing but stones and clods of earth.
Everyone went back to rest at noon. Father Li looked at the dug hole with disappointment in his eyes.
Su Zhan also walked to the cave and looked inside. The water source she detected was not far away.
"Dad, don't be discouraged. I guarantee that we will get water today." Su Zhan looked back at Father Li with a disappointed look on his face and quickly comforted him.
Father Li didn't say anything and paid all the money. He was not the type to give up halfway.
In the afternoon, the group started having sex again in full swing.
A villager was swinging a hoe vigorously when his steps suddenly stopped. He looked down at his feet and found that they were stuck in the mud.
Wait, was this mud just now?
The villagers were stunned for a while, then suddenly thought of something and shouted in surprise. Because they were so happy, there was even a tremor in their tone: "Water, there is water below."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a drop of water dropped into a hot oil pan, and it boiled instantly.
"Water? Where is the water?"
Almost instantly, everyone who heard this sentence gathered around and craned their necks to look inside.
The villager at the bottom stupidly bent down and grabbed a handful of mud, as if he had grabbed a handful of gold. He happily showed it to everyone, "Look, it was dry just now, but now it's wet. This is not what's down there."
What's the water coming up from?"
"There is really water."
"God has opened his eyes."
"Why are you still standing there? Keep digging."
There were sounds one after another, and the villager at the bottom spat into his hand and dug hard.
The rest of the people were watching his movements with rapt attention, expecting to see the source of life in the next second.
As the hoe in the villager's hand fell to the ground, finally, a stream of water quietly seeped upward as everyone watched.
A burst of cheering sound suddenly sounded after the silence. Everyone seemed to see hope when they saw the water that could not even fill a basin.
In fact, in the past few days, people in Lihua Village have been discussing whether to leave their hometown and leave here. But their ancestors have lived here for generations, and no one is willing to leave their hometown.
What's more, farmers in this era always have a deep obsession with the land.
Wherever their own fields are, that is their world.
But if they really reach the point of running out of ammunition and food, they will still choose to abandon it.
But before that, they had to persist a little longer no matter what.
And now the emergence of water sources has made everyone feel like they are surviving a disaster.
They no longer have to worry about people dying without water, nor do they have to worry about leaving their homes and the land that raised them.
Father Li stared blankly at the scene in front of him with an excited expression. If he had a choice, he would not know Lihua Village either.
With his family fortune, he could have purchased another property in the town, but he still chose to stay in Lihua Village.
In addition to the fact that his foundation is in Lihua Village, the main reason is that he is unwilling to leave Lihua Village.
This drought also destroyed his fish and shrimps and other aquatic products. Fortunately, he still had savings, so his muscles and bones were not injured.
As long as we regain our strength, and with Father Li's experience and connections, we can make a comeback soon.
Now that there is a water source, Lihua Village can be saved.
The reason for doing all this is that he believed his daughter's words.
Father Li looked at Su Zhan blankly, but after seeing her smiling face, he denied it in his heart.
How could his own father not know what his daughter is capable of?
Li Quyue definitely doesn't have the ability to detect water sources, so the question is, who told a half-year-old child that there is water here?
It wasn't that Su Zhan didn't notice the strange gaze that Father Li was looking at. She quickly understood what Father Li was thinking. In fact, this way, it saved her the trouble of trying to explain.
If you make up a non-existent person, you can blame that fictitious person for everything in the future.
Although this is a bit cliché, it is indeed an excellent reason.
Due to Su Zhan's status as a girl, first of all, this person must not be a young man, otherwise Father Li would never approve of Su Zhan's association with that person again.
Secondly, although this era was relatively relaxed for women, it was obvious that few women were interested in this skill of detecting water sources.
So the most appropriate way to say it is that an old man who was proficient in detecting water sources saw that this area was suffering from drought and couldn't bear it and told her where there was a water source.
After Su Zhan thought for a while, he suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the male and female protagonists in those novels to use the white-bearded old man to deceive people when they had nothing to do.
