Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Deep mountains and dense forests.

The breeze blows.

The wild grapes are full and heavy in bunches, hanging on the vines.

Many grapes had been bitten by insects. Cui Zhaozhao carefully picked out the complete bunches of grapes, cut them off, and put them in the basket.

Yesterday, the shopping mall was upgraded to level three, but before I had time to study it, it was disrupted by Zhao Yougen. Now that the problem has been resolved, I went up the mountain as soon as possible.

Probe.

The shopping mall panel floated in the air, and I found the detection option. It was just two general words before, but after unlocking it, an introduction and usage were posted next to it.

Cui Zhaozhao read it carefully.

"...This function can detect resources within a ten-kilometer diameter. You must specify the type, and only one resource can be selected at a time."

"Note: If you want to increase the detection range, you need to pay to unlock it."

Look down and find the price list.

"Unlocking the 30-kilometer radius requires one hundred taels of silver.

To unlock a range with a diameter of fifty kilometers, three hundred taels of silver are required.

To unlock a range of 100 kilometers in diameter, one thousand and two taels of silver are required.

Note: Once purchased, there are no refunds.

Cui Zhaozhao:......

Why after reading the last sentence, I feel that the detection function is somewhat unreliable.

After reading the introduction again, Cui Zhaozhao was eager to try it.

When there is a severe drought, the source of all poverty is water, and Xiahe Village is short of water.

Without water, crops cannot grow; without food, people cannot survive; and without hope, people will become confused.

Cui Zhaozhao decisively chose water resources.

It costs five taels of silver to detect once!

The purse deflated visibly like a deflated balloon.

Cui Zhaozhao was heartbroken.

The shopping mall panel floating in the air slowly disappeared, and a map gradually appeared before our eyes.

The map is simple and clear, with a water drop icon in the middle and a red dot not far from the water drop.

There is really water!

Cui Zhaozhao's heart beat faster and a look of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

The mall never deceives me!

However, since he hadn't seen the water in person yet, Cui Zhaozhao suppressed his excitement and studied the map carefully.

Needless to say, the water droplet is the location of water resources. What about the red dot next to it?

Cui Zhaozhao studied it repeatedly.

…The red dot seems to be her location.

According to the map, she is right next to a water source?!

She didn't believe it and strode to the side. On the map, the red dot moved slowly at the same time.

Okay, she believed it.

Standing in the woods, Cui Zhaozhao wanted to laugh and cry even more. Five taels of silver, but the water source was right under her feet.

The chestnut forest stretches across an area, and when you first see it, the scene of abundant fruits comes to mind. No wonder there is a good harvest.

Cui Zhaozhao suddenly remembered something very important.

A few days ago, when she just found out that they were still in their original city, she vaguely felt that there was something on the mountain, but when she was in elementary school, her grandparents moved to the city, and she hadn't been back to the village for many years.

Childhood memories are too far away, and my eldest brother interrupted me at the time, so I turned around and put the matter out of my mind.

Now I think about it, when I was a child, my grandmother told me that there was a spring on the mountain that was clear, sweet and never ran dry all year round.

During the three-year drought, the spring water continued to flow day and night, helping several surrounding villages through the difficult times.

If this is the spring detected, Xiahe Village will no longer have to worry about water.

Cui Zhaozhao was secretly looking forward to it.

She had been to the chestnut forest many times, and there was no trace of water source nearby. If there was water, it should be underground.

Following the mark on the map, at the northernmost edge of the chestnut forest, the red dot overlaps with the water droplet.

I grabbed a handful of soil, smelled it and crushed it, but didn't feel any difference.

In fact, it is not the edge of the chestnut forest. It is a steep stone wall that stretches as far as the eye can see and stands straight up.

Cui Zhaozhao dug a small hole as a mark and prepared to go down the mountain to ask his mother for advice.

She found water!

I picked up the basket and hadn't even walked out of the chestnut forest when I heard rustling sounds outside the forest. It seemed like they had entered the forest.

Cui Zhaozhao hurriedly hid behind a tree.

Most of the people in the village went to the county to exchange food. Just now, on the way up the mountain, there were only a few children digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and the chestnuts had all been picked. Who would come here?

The footsteps came closer and then went away.

She held her breath and carefully looked out.

A man walked to the edge of the stone wall, took out a bowl from his backpack, and lowered his head as if looking for something.

Cui Zhaozhao opened her mouth wide. She was very familiar with this person.

He came here with a bowl. Could it be that he hid food here?

Wouldn’t storing food in the mountains be too much of a challenge for the animals there?

Cui Zhaozhao observed quietly.

Cui Chengliang put half a bowl of soybeans into the bowl. This was a method he learned in his previous life. Soybeans swell when they come into contact with water. For example, during flood control, sand and soybeans would be mixed together to fill the gaps caused by pipe bursts.

Put soybeans under a bowl. After one night, if the soybeans swell up, it means there is enough water vapor in this place and there is a high probability of a water source.

Ever since he came to the chestnut forest a few days ago, he became even more certain that there must be a water source on the mountain.

In the previous life, there were people in the village who planted chestnuts. Chestnut trees are easy to take care of. You just need to water them when watering the fields.

Anyway, if you water less, you will get fewer fruits. If you water enough, the tree will be full of hair balls.

He had observed that the chestnut forest before him had a good harvest.

The groundwater is most likely near the chestnut forest.

Cui Chengliang put the bowl away, stood up and walked a few steps along the stone wall. He put his hand against the stone wall and felt a slight chill on his palm.

Just wait for the results tomorrow.

After Cui Chengliang left the chestnut forest, Cui Zhaozhao walked out from behind the tree. A bowl was lying quietly on the ground next to the stone wall.

"...So it's not a place to hide grain." Curious, he turned the bowl over.

The soybeans rolled around, filling up more than half a bowl.

The crops in the fields were almost unable to grow, and every grain of food was gone. My cheap father actually threw half a bowl of soybeans onto the mountain.

Cui Zhaozhao took a deep breath and turned around to look around.

Is it to help others?

Widow Qin's face flashed through her mind, and her face suddenly became angry.

I was almost cheated by my cheap dad.

[4 liang of natural soybeans, purchase price wen, would you like to sell?]

【For sale, for sale!!】

The soybeans disappeared, and four copper coins were scattered on the ground.

Cui Zhaozhao squinted his eyes, put the money into his pocket, and turned the bowl upside down on the ground again.

Don't leave her a single soybean!

The people who went to the county town had not returned yet, so Cui Zhaozhao hurried down the mountain and returned home.

I met Cui Chengliang at the door, who had just returned carrying firewood.

Cui Zhaozhao's face was cold and she walked away from him without even looking at him.

Cui Chengliang was confused.

The door is not installed properly?

There were some dumplings left from lunch, so Lin fried them over low heat.

Just now, Yu asked Liqiu to send some dried ground vegetables, saying that they were picked from the mountains in her mother's hometown. She soaked some in water and planned to stir-fry two eggs and eat them.

I turned around and saw my daughter coming back angrily.

"What's wrong?" Lin put down her chopsticks.

"...It's okay." Cui Zhaozhao suppressed her emotions. Telling this to her mother would only increase her disappointment. She could just bear it alone.
