Chapter 231 Determining the Water Source

"I see." Jiang Chuyue understood the villagers' hint, and as she was just strolling nearby, the man gradually became less worried. When he fetched some water and prepared to return to the village, he saw Jiang Chuyue going deep into the woods.

"Sister, there are wild boars in the forest and wolves on the mountain. You'd better not go too deep alone." The man's enthusiasm made Jiang Chuyue hesitate to tell him the purpose of her trip.

I simply followed the man's meaning and said, "I'll just walk around here. Don't worry about me. I know the situation. Sister-in-law Song told me about it."

The man knew the Song family where Jiang Chuyue stayed, so after hearing what Jiang Chuyue said, he stopped trying to persuade her.

Because there was no water at home, the man was busy rushing back home. After saying hello to Jiang Chuyue, he hurriedly carried water towards the village.

On the road leading to the village, in the dim light, you can see many families carrying buckets of water towards the pond.

Jiang Chuyue turned around and went straight into the depths of the forest.

Based on the existence of the water pond, we walked along the lush vegetation growing near the water pond, but the wild vegetables and weeds on the ground had been harvested by the nearby villagers.

Jiang Chuyue could only squat on the ground, carefully following the traces on the ground and the degree of moisture in the soil, and walked slowly in. She didn't know how deep she had walked. She watched the sky gradually brighten up, until the sun was high in the sky, she finally found a place where she could faintly hear the sound of water.

Delighted, Jiang Chuyue took out the stethoscope from the space and used it to carefully identify the source of the water sound on the ground.

Finally, after walking about a mile deeper into the forest, we finally found a deep cave, and the sound of water came from inside.

Jiang Chuyue didn't hesitate and walked in. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she stepped into the cave, she heard rustling noises outside the cave.

Jiang Chuyue realized something was wrong and hid in the space. She sat in the space and looked at the situation inside the cave. She found that it was a group of wolves that came.

It's no wonder. Water is in short supply nowadays. Along the way, the leaves on the mountain have turned yellow due to days of drought and exposure to the sun. I think the animals on the mountain also rely on this water source to replenish water.

However, if all these animals need the water source here, Jiang Chuyue will have to consider the risks of diverting water down the mountain and subsequent maintenance.

She can come and go freely in the space without worrying about being attacked by wild beasts, but the subsequent care of the water diversion equipment cannot be done by Jiang Chuyue alone.

She has too many things to do every day, and it is impossible for her to guard the water source here every day across the mountains.

After thinking it over, Jiang Chuyue searched through the space for various usable tools, and finally found a good thing in a room where miscellaneous items were stored.

"It turns out that we still need the equipment from modern society." Carrying a plastic pipe, Jiang Chuyue sat on the ground and assembled a simple water diversion device directly in the space.

She didn't know much about the assembly of water pipes and other equipment, but fortunately it wasn't too difficult. She followed the instructions and managed to make a water pipe device.

The opening at the water inlet is deliberately made very large to allow as much water as possible to flow down the mountain through the pipe.

As for the latter part, you still have to use a bamboo tube.

This is a big project, but with Jiang Chuyue completing the early equipment production, the subsequent task of making the water diversion device and drip irrigation system will be relatively easy.

It can also avoid face-to-face encounters with wild animals.

After finishing all this, Jiang Chuyue strolled down the mountain. Just as she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Manager Wu and his men coming.

"Boss Jiang, I finally found you. If you don't come back, I will really bring people to search the mountain directly." Finally seeing Jiang Chuyue's figure, Manager Wu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He explained the emergency to her, "The magistrate urgently needs food, and said that the food must be delivered by this evening at the latest."

"Isn't there still two days? Why did they suddenly change the time?" Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but think more when she heard that the county magistrate had made some trouble. "Did something happen?"

"I sent someone to inquire about it. I heard that they are preparing to reinforce the wall of the county town and connect the wall of the county town with the wall of the town. I think there must be a fight in the south, so they started preparing in advance to prevent an attack from coming over."

Manager Wu's guess is also based on the current situation. To find out what is going on, Jiang Chuyue still has to wait for her to find out the actions of Shuiyun Pavilion.

"Connecting the county and town walls is not an easy project." Jiang Chuyue pondered.

The county and the town are more than ten miles apart. It would be difficult to connect the two cities. But if the city wall is successfully built, the two places can unite to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

Coupled with the natural assistance of mountains, it creates a situation that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But why didn’t Shuiyun Pavilion and the county magistrate take any action before, but suddenly started to take action at this time?

They must have received some news, or something big happened in the south, which is why they are so anxious.

"It's a big project, but it's not that difficult." Seeing that Jiang Chuyue didn't understand the situation in the two places, Shopkeeper Wu took the initiative to explain, "The previous county magistrate had this idea, and it was because of this that the government office was moved from the county to the town. However, before the connecting wall between the two places was built, the previous county magistrate was transferred away."

Now they can start construction directly on the unfinished city wall, which won’t take too much effort.

Jiang Chuyue nodded in understanding, and she had an idea in mind, "Since they are in a hurry to get food, then let's go and meet them. At least we have to find out what happened."

Although there are some guesses, some things still need to be clarified from the well-informed Shuiyun Pavilion.

"We have found a water source on the mountain. When the time comes, we can have people prepare the water diversion equipment and bamboo tubes for the drip irrigation system." Jiang Chuyue did not forget to give instructions before leaving.

"Boss Jiang, don't worry. We have already left a few of our people in this village. We are just waiting to start reclaiming the wasteland and planting crops and medicinal herbs."

The wasteland they chose was just outside the village, not far from the water pond.

Seeing that Manager Wu had arranged everything, Jiang Chuyue got on the carriage with peace of mind.

The carriage swayed all the way, and after more than an hour, Jiang Chuyue and Manager Wu returned to the county.

"Isn't the government office in the town? Why are you in the county?" Jiang Chuyue lowered the curtain and looked at Manager Wu.

"I heard that the construction of the city wall will start from here. I guess the magistrate wants to personally monitor the progress of the construction, right?"
