When Zhao Zhizhi walked far away, the medicine boy caught up with her again and apologized to her with a red face:

"I'm sorry, girl, I was blind."

Zhao Zhizhi smiled. Although Bi Laoshou's apprentice was a bit young, he was not bad in nature.

She waved her hand generously and said: "Don't worry about small things, just go back quickly."

After hearing this, the medicine boy gave her a bow, turned around and ran away again.

Before leaving, Zhao Zhizhi took out another five taels of silver from the space and put it in a cloth bag with the money for the herbs she had just sold. After returning home, she handed it over to Father Zhao together.

Father Zhao weighed the bag and asked in disbelief: "Where did you earn this money?"

Zhao Zhizhi sat on a chair and took a drink of water and said:

"Dad, don't worry. This is the money my daughter earned from selling herbal medicine. She sold it for a total of five taels and more than two hundred coins."

"So many!" Father Zhao suddenly stood up from his chair and said in shock: "Daughter, are you being deceived by others?"

Zhao Zhizhi couldn't keep up with his thinking.

If you earn less money, you must have been deceived by others.

But if you earn too much, how can you still be cheated?

Father Zhao hurriedly came over, caught her and checked her over and over, "I heard that there was a group of traffickers recently. They first lured young girls with winning money, and then abducted the people after the girls trusted them."

Zhao Zhizhi hugged Father Zhao's shoulders in a funny way and said softly:

"Dad, you are too worried. I am your daughter. No one can deceive me."

Father Zhao liked hearing this, he put his hands on his hands and laughed, "My daughter is right, no one in this village is as smart as my daughter."

The main room immediately became filled with warmth.

The days passed day by day.

The weather is getting colder, and frost has condensed on the watery areas in the courtyard.

"There is no water, the spring has dried up." The villagers shouted in panic and ran to inform them of this important event.

The other villagers who heard the news became more and more panicked. They all gathered at the village chief's house and got into a row with sad faces.

"How can we live without water? Village chief, please think of a way."

The village chief was smoking a dry cigarette, but he was also at a loss.

The villagers couldn't think of anything to do, so they started looking for trouble and blaming all the mistakes on others.

"I went to get a bucket full of water yesterday, and the spring didn't look like it was drying up. Why is there no water today?"

"Aunt Cheng, what do you mean? Could it be that the person we were collecting water deliberately let the spring dry up?"

"I can't say for sure. Maybe you have committed too many sins and offended God. God punished you and hurt us."

"You damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Let me see if I don't tear your mouth apart."

For a time, the scene became more and more chaotic.

The village chief had a headache due to the noise and shouted: "Shut up, everyone. Can you get anything done by making such noise?"

Suddenly, a villager who looked at the honest boy said cautiously:

"I remember Miss Zhao once said that if the spring water dries up, she would still have a way to find the source of water, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, the villagers who were only thinking about themselves began to say in unison:

"Da Cai is right. Zhao Zhizhi said it himself at that time. When the spring breaks, she is the one to be looked for."

"I heard it too."

"That's right, let's go find her now."

When Da Cai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh silently. He originally wanted to send someone to invite Zhao Zhizhi over, but how could he be so confident when asking for help.

It's a pity that the current world is still such that good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others.

Even if he says what he wants to say, probably not many people will listen.

He placed all his hopes on the village chief, hoping that he would be able to say something fair.

However, the village chief, like the confident villagers, said without hesitation:

"In that case, let's go find Zhao Zhizhi."

As a result, all the able-bodied people in the village followed the village chief towards Zhao's house. The formation was unprecedentedly huge.

It's a pity that they came to Zhao's house in a big way, and they even thought about how to question Zhao Zhizhi along the way.

When I arrived at the door of Zhao's house, I found that the door was locked tightly.

The villagers then remembered that Zhao Zhizhi should be attending doctor Liu's home at this moment.

However, none of them went to Dr. Liu's home for consultation today. What could she do alone in Dr. Liu's home?

Doctor Liu had left for a long trip a few days ago.

Because he was not sure whether Zhao Zhizhi was really at Dr. Liu's house, and in order not to waste his efforts, the village chief thought of sending a few people to find out first.

Ma Liu and others trotted all the way to Dr. Liu's home. The door was open to the outside, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen working in the courtyard.

Ma Liu and Mao Dan looked at each other, knocked on the door, and politely shouted inside:

"Miss Zhao, are you done? We have something to ask you for."

Zhao Zhizhi was picking out broken herbs in the dustpan. When he heard this, he looked up at the door, tilted his head and asked:

"What is it?"

Ma Liu argued, "You will understand if you come back to your home with me."

Zhao Zhizhi realized something was wrong. Whenever he went home and someone came to invite him, it must be an uninvited guest.

She clapped her hands and asked calmly:

"Why are you so anxious? If you don't tell me, how can I prepare in advance?"

Ma Liu thought it made sense, so he told Zhao Zhizhi about the drying up of the spring.

Zhao Zhizhi frowned. She had long thought that such a day would come, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

Then, she looked at Ma Liu in a funny way, "You said they were at my house, so they rushed there in such a hurry. Could it be that they were afraid that I would run away?"

Ma Liu touched his head guiltily, not knowing what to say. This is indeed what they thought.

Zhao Zhizhi didn't care about him, just picked up the door lock and said:

"Okay, let's go, I really have a way to find a new water source."

Ma Liu's eyes shone brightly, "Really?"

"Is there any benefit to me from lying to you?" Zhao Zhizhi was puzzled.

Ma Liu shook his head hurriedly and smiled naively:

"No, no, it's just that I judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart."

Zhao Zhizhi laughed and teased him, "How many kilograms of ink do you have in your stomach?"

Ma Liu blushed and said:

"Miss Zhao, please stop teasing me. I learned this from reading a story book. It's not really ink."

The two of them were walking and chatting, but the village chief and the others were extremely anxious.

"Why hasn't Ma Liu come back? It couldn't be that Zhao Zhizhi really ran away."

"No, the spring water dried up early this morning. No matter how powerful she is, she can't predict the future."
