Entering the bully's den, she changed her life by farming!
Chapter 153 Sweet Mountain Spring
The village chief looked at He Xiuer's back walking down the mountain, with a trace of unbearable flash in his eyes.
He didn't want to beat his daughter in front of so many people, but the water source matter involved the survival of Xiaohe Village, and she couldn't afford the consequences.
After solving a sudden trouble, Zhao Zhizhi returned his attention to the smoke of mugwort, his eyes moving along with its direction.
She was using knowledge from books. This was her first time practicing, and she didn't know if she could succeed.
It is said that the smoke of mugwort is different from ordinary smoke in that it will find its way downwards.
If there is water underground, the smoke will find it and evaporate with it.
Therefore, where the wormwood smoke eventually rises, there must be a source of groundwater.
The smoke generated by the burning mugwort piles in four directions continued to go in one direction.
Zhao Zhizhi estimated that the time was almost up, raised his hand and shouted to the villagers: "Everyone, follow me."
The villagers followed suit, and the smoke drifted slowly, just enough for them to catch up.
The group of people followed the smoke through the bare dense forest. The trees were dead due to lack of water. Even if they were cut down, they could only be used as fire sticks and could not be used to build houses.
After walking for who knows how long, just when some people were retreating, the smoke actually took them to a valley that no one had ever been to.
Because this place is connected to a cliff, no one dares to approach it on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, there is a gap on the edge of the valley, forming a natural concave shape with the cliff.
There is a small patch of barely alive vegetation here, and Zhao Zhizhi also discovered some rare herbs among them.
She calmly shifted her gaze. These villagers didn't know these herbs anyway.
If she picked it now, she might be noticed, and when she found the groundwater, she could pick it secretly another day.
The smoke began to rise slowly here.
Zhao Zhizhi curled his lips, pointed at this recess and shouted: "There is a water source in this area. Let's spread out and look for it."
The villagers were already a little tired from walking, but they immediately became energetic after hearing these words.
Everyone yelled and started looking for water. Even the village chief started to look for it seriously.
Zhao Zhizhi became curious about the cliff and cautiously moved forward.
As soon as she reached the edge of the cliff, she was surprised to find water seeping out of the rock wall.
Although not much water seeped out, it only formed a series of water droplets. If you put the bucket below to catch the water, it would probably take nearly a day.
But in this drought season, there is actually running water on the cliff. Zhao Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, God will not destroy Xiaohe Village.
She moved her legs to the edge of the cliff and slowly sat down. Because she was afraid of heights, she did not dare to look down any further.
I could only tilt my head, and tried my best to reach out to the cliff with one hand to take a small handful of water, and tried to take a sip, "It's sweet!"
Zhao Zhizhi said in surprise: "This is natural mountain spring water."
A nearby villager accidentally saw Zhao Zhizhi's figure, and was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak. He whispered in a trembling voice: "Miss Zhao, what are you doing sitting there? It's too dangerous. Come here quickly. Be careful. If this falls, Going down there is no joke.”
Zhao Zhizhi was also startled by his sudden voice. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw the height of the cliff as expected.
My legs instantly became weak, my eyes felt dizzy, and I was so nervous that my mouth went dry and I couldn't speak at all.
It's over. The cliff is too high. She can't use the strength to stand up. What should she do?
Seeing that Zhao Zhizhi was indifferent, the villagers hurriedly ran to find rescue.
Zhao Zhizhi began to take a deep breath and continued to mentally build himself up.
He finally adjusted his emotions and found his voice, but he could only speak, and his legs were still too weak to stand up.
The villagers who just discovered Zhao Zhizhi quickly brought the others over, and Zhao Zhizhi immediately asked them for help, "Someone help me, I can't stand up."
The villagers stood motionless and watched, but they kept talking.
"Oh, Miss Zhao, why did you run over there? It's too dangerous."
"Miss Zhao, please be careful and move towards us. You don't have to stand up, just use your butt to move."
"We don't dare to go there. If we fall here, we will be smashed to pieces."
They said everything, but no one moved.
Seeing that he couldn't count on them, Zhao Zhizhi closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and tried to move back.
However, her body was too stiff. After moving for a long time, except for breaking out in a cold sweat, she was still on the edge of the cliff and didn't move much distance.
The sun is about to set, and the temperature in the mountains is even worse. Moreover, this is a valley. I am afraid that before it gets dark, everyone will be shivering from the cold.
The villagers couldn't bear it and began to urge Zhao Zhizhi.
"Miss Zhao, why are you still dawdling? Hurry up. Don't forget that you yourself brought us here to find water. We can't return without success."
"My child is still waiting to eat. Miss Zhao, you are so scared. Why are you running to the edge of the cliff? You are asking for trouble."
Zhao Zhizhi didn't want to tell them for a while that the water source was on the edge of the cliff.
She was so miserable and irritated that she wanted to block the mouths of these people.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, a deep and powerful voice came from behind the villagers, "Get out of the way."
Just hearing the sound, the villagers felt the inexplicable majesty. They moved in unison and retreated to the side.
Wei Shao walked steadily toward Zhao Zhizhi from the path they had vacated.
The tall figure came against the light, like a god descending from the sky, coming to save her.
Zhao Zhizhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and soon they were stained with tears.
Just now I only felt fear and panic, but when I saw him appearing, I suddenly felt aggrieved.
Wei Shao walked up to her, looked at the cliff with a calm expression, and without saying a word, he bent down and picked her up.
Zhao Zhizhi immediately hugged his neck and shrank her head to his chest in fear.
Wei Shao looked down at her dumbfounded and said softly: "I'm here, it's okay."
Then, he stepped to a safe place and put her down.
Zhao Zhizhi felt embarrassed and hurriedly used his body to wipe away his tears. Then he faced the crowd and said calmly:
"I have found the water source. There is a live spring on the edge of the cliff. It seeps out from the ground. This shows that the underground water source is very rich and will not run out in at least three to five years."
When the villagers heard her say that the water source was on the edge of the cliff, they couldn't help showing panic on their faces, but after hearing what she said, they couldn't help but get excited.
"It won't run out in three to five years. It's great. We are saved."
"The water problem has finally been solved. God has not given up on us after all!"
