Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 51 Looking for water in the mountains

When Jiang Wei arrived home, he packed up the deer for a while, stuffed it into the space, and then led Jiang Xiaoxiao up the mountain.

"Mom, what are we going to the mountain for?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was very confused. Didn't he just come back from the mountain? Why did he have to go up the mountain again?

Jiang Wei carried a hoe on his shoulder and led her all the way to the mountain. He said: "Xiaoxiao, even if all the water in our well is given to the villagers, it won't last for a few days. We need to fundamentally solve it." Water problem.”

Jiang Xiaoxiao understood what her mother meant. The entire Yuhe Village, old and young, had a population of more than 700, and the well in their home would dry up in less than seven days.

Even if she has water powers, the water she releases every day is only enough for her own use, and she cannot save so many people in the village. After all, her powers have only barely reached the second level.

"So, we have to find water from this mountain."

Jiang Wei looked at the deep forest not far ahead and said slowly: "I have observed on the mountains in the past few days. These mountains are densely wooded. The rainwater and melted snow water in previous years seeps into the ground. The mountains are rich in minerals. As long as we find a way to divert water out of the ground, water resources can be used by villagers for daily use.”

When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this, she also looked at the mountains in the distance. These mountains have existed for a long time. Even though the weather has become increasingly dry in recent years, there are many wild animals in the mountains, lush trees, and even They also picked up ginseng in the mountains a few days ago, which proves that these mountains contain very rich spring water.

As long as this water is found, not only the drinking water problem of the villagers can be solved, but the crops in the fields can also be irrigated.

Otherwise, if the drought continues like this, there will be no food harvest in the fields this year. By then, every household will have no food, and they will definitely not be able to survive the winter, and a large number of people will starve to death.

"Mom, how are we going to find water on the mountain?" Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the surrounding environment and frowned slightly.

In ancient times, finding water sources was an extremely difficult problem.

Without modern scientific instruments to detect groundwater, even experienced Feng Shui masters cannot accurately predict the location of water veins.

Although her mother's space is extremely rich in supplies, it can't even have modern scientific detectors, right?
  "So, it's up to you to find the water source, Xiaoxiao." Jiang Wei said slowly.

"Ah? Me?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned and pointed at herself in disbelief. She was only a five-year-old child, how could she find water?
  "My mother used to have a friend who had the same water power as you. She could use the water power to communicate with the water energy factors between heaven and earth, and sense where there was a large amount of water resources buried." Jiang Wei explained, "Xiaoxiao, Although your current abilities are still very low-level, you can still give it a try."

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

Isn't that friend someone her mother knew in her previous life?

But since her mother said she could find water this way, she would give it a try.

So, Jiang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes according to the method taught by Jiang Wei, and felt the surrounding water energy factors with her heart.

But it was probably because her powers were too low-level and she didn't sense anything.

"It's okay. Let's take a closer look. The land here is too dry and there probably isn't much water underground." Jiang Wei comforted her and took her to the mountains.

Under drought conditions, the roots of many plants will grow toward water sources. Even if the specific location of the water veins cannot be found, the range can be roughly determined based on where the vegetation grows lushly.

Or you can pay attention to the activity tracks of insects in the grass. Generally, wherever there are insects, flies, and animals, there is water nearby.

The mother and daughter walked all the way to a larger mountain stream. There is a gorge between two mountains. The terrain is humid and dense with water and grass, and the moisture in the air is relatively high.

Jiang Wei stopped and asked Jiang Xiaoxiao to try sensing again, "There should be water nearby."

Jiang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and once again calmed down and carefully perceived the surrounding situation. At this moment, her spiritual platform was clear, her mind was clear, and her thoughts were quieter than ever before, as if she had entered a very ethereal state.

She seemed to be able to hear the chirping of birds throughout the mountain, as well as the rustling of insects burrowing into the grass... Mixed with these sounds, she could vaguely make out the sound of the gurgling spring water in the mountain...

After a moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes and fixed her eyes on a place five meters away from her. She pointed there and said: "Mom, I feel there is water down there!"

"Okay." Jiang Wei nodded, then picked up the hoe and started digging there.

The soil here is moist and digging is effortless.

After a while, Jiang Wei dug a deep pit, but no water came out of it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said worriedly: "Could it be that I sensed something wrong..."

Jiang Wei shook his head, reached out and grabbed a handful of sand in the pit, and said: "This sand is wet. This is a sign of water accumulation in the mountains. There is indeed water below. Your feeling is correct, but it is buried deeper. .”

After saying that, Jiang Wei raised the hoe and continued digging.

After digging nearly three meters deep, water finally seeped out of the pit.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up: "I'm out of water!"

There was also a slight joy on Jiang Wei's face. She went down with the hoe again, and the moment she dug out the soil, a large amount of spring water spewed out!

"It seems that there is quite a lot of water stored down here." Jiang Wei squinted his eyes, washed his hands, and took a sip of spring water with his hands. It was refreshing and quenching his thirst. This is the best mountain spring water!

"Mom, let's go back to the village and tell Li Zheng that everyone should come here to get water!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said with joy. With the water here, everyone can survive this drought!

"Okay." Jiang Wei found a few stones to push the spring water back to the bottom of the pit, then marked the edge and took Jiang Xiaoxiao down the mountain.

When they arrived in the village, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and many villagers ran to the ancestral hall.

"What happened again?" The mother and daughter were confused and followed the crowd to the ancestral hall.

When we arrived, we discovered that Li was leading a group of villagers to worship the gods and pray for rain.

An incense table was set up next to the ancestral hall in the village. The incense table was filled with incense burners, sake, eggs, as well as donated tea, glutinous rice cakes and other food.

The summoned villagers took turns to come forward to burn incense and kneel down to worship. Each of them looked solemn and stepped forward to burn three sticks of incense, kowtow three times, and offer three glasses of wine.

The weather was dry and there was no water for bathing. These people were all miserable, and some villagers even had chapped lips that were bleeding.

"God, please have mercy on us farmers, please give us some rain..."

Some elderly people in the village couldn't stop kowtowing and praying in front of the incense table, and their foreheads became red, swollen and bleeding.
