I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.
Chapter 28 Living Water
Judging from the activity tracks of wild goats, the most likely water source entrance is more than 300 meters away from the small grassland.
Jiang Qinyu pretended to take Old Man Lu and Meng Tianze around for a while before arriving at the place she guessed.
"Sister-in-law, there are a lot of goat footprints and goat dung here." Meng Tianze discovered the problem as soon as he arrived here.
Jiang Qinyu was also here for the first time. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Yes, but there are only footprints and no water source. It's very unusual."
"The place where their footprints disappeared is in front of that mountain wall. Let's go and take a look." Meng Tianze followed the traces to find the location and pointed at the mountain wall.
Jiang Qinyu naturally saw it as well and opened the map in her mind for comparison.
But there is no water source on the ground on the map, but there is a lot of green light scattered under the mountain wall.
Jiang Qinyu observed carefully and found that the green lights seemed to be converging in one direction from small to large.
It's no surprise that that's where the brightest spot she saw last night was.
But the entrance on the ground looks like it is inside the mountain wall. Could it be that there are mechanisms here like in Qinggang Mountain?
"Hey, Uncle Lu, sister-in-law, come here quickly, there is a cave here!" Meng Tianze ran to the cliff first, followed the goat footprints and took a closer look. He found that the vines hanging from the cliff covered a cave entrance.
Jiang Qinyu and Old Man Lu immediately came forward and looked inside through the vines that Meng Tianze had pulled apart. They were both shocked.
"This hole looks pretty big, doesn't it?"
"Brother Meng, there must be water underneath!"
Jiang Qinyu now understood that the map was indeed not deceiving her. It turned out that the entrance on the ground was actually here.
Meng Tianze excitedly raised his foot to go in, but soon stopped, looked back at Jiang Qinyu and asked, "Sister-in-law, there won't be any danger in there, right?"
Jiang Qinyu thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. Wild goats can go in to drink water, so there won't be any large beasts in the cave. But we still have to be on guard. Let's make some preparations before going in."
"Then you guys prepare here, I'll go call the village chief and others." Old Man Lu said immediately.
Jiang Qinyu quickly pulled him back and said, "Dad, we're not sure how much water there is in here. Let's go in and take a look before we tell the village chief and the others."
"That's right." Old Man Lu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
But there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Qinyu.
Why didn’t I think that A Zheng’s wife was so thoughtful before?
Jiang Qinyu noticed his gaze, but she didn't care. She had talked about this matter at home before, and her personality was not completely different from the original owner, but at least there was a big difference in how they behaved.
She began to let them know little by little how different she was from the original owner. Over time, the doubts of the Lu family and the villagers would naturally disappear, and they would completely accept her existence.
Meng Tianze walked in front with a bow and arrow, Jiang Qinyu followed behind him with a wooden stick in her hand, and Old Man Lu walked behind with a hatchet in his hand. The three of them walked slowly into the cave.
After walking about ten meters, the ground they were standing on began to become wet, and they gradually began to hear the sound of water drops falling from a high place.
Meng Tianze gestured to continue forward. The three of them quickened their pace and walked another twenty meters. Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up.
This is a natural cave with many beautiful stalactites hanging upside down on the ceiling, and a small part of the stalactites are still dripping water little by little.
The water droplets gathered in a puddle on the ground with a diameter of about five meters, becoming the only sound here.
Jiang Qinyu and the other two watched intently, no one saying a word.
After a while, Meng Tianze said, “I didn’t expect there would be a big puddle here.”
The key is that there is still water in this puddle, and it is still full. Although it is not enough for the entire village to drink, with this water, they can safely survive this disaster year.
Jiang Qinyu walked around the puddle and said, "Uncle Meng, take a closer look. There seems to be more here."
According to the map, there should be a way to the next puddle.
Jiang Qinyu walked around the cave again with the torch in hand, knocking on the wall as she walked. After walking around once, she found that the wall was solid.
Seeing her actions, Meng Tianze said uncertainly, "Sister-in-law, I don't think there's anything special here, right? At least the goat footprints and goat dung are normal."
Jiang Qinyu shook her head, squatted down again, and knocked on the ground.
"Hey, Yu girl, how could there be a problem with the ground? If there was a problem, those goats would have trampled it through long ago..." Before Old Man Lu finished his words, Jiang Qinyu suddenly stood up.
She pointed to the ground below and said to the two excitedly, "It's empty down there!"
"Ah?" Meng Tianze and Old Man Lu looked at each other.
However, the two were still not too optimistic. Meng Tianze smiled and said, "Even if it's empty, we probably won't find anything good if we break it open."
"No matter what, let's go down and take a look first. What if there is more water?" Jiang Qinyu raised her eyebrows.
She had a three-dimensional map in her hand and knew very well that there was a water source below, and more than in the current cave.
But she wanted to go down, and the most important thing was to make sure whether there was a way to go further down.
"Old Meng, how about we break this place open and go down to take a look?" Seeing that Jiang Qinyu didn't want to give up, Old Man Lu said to Meng Tianze.
After all, she is his own daughter-in-law, so of course he has to support her.
Meng Tianze thought about Jiang Qinyu's performance in the past two days, and after a moment's hesitation, he nodded, "Okay, I'll see if I can break this place open."
After saying that, he turned around and began to look for a handy tool.
Not long after, Meng Tianze came over holding a stone weighing about 20 kilograms, "Sister-in-law, Uncle Lu, you guys stand aside, I'll smash it."
Jiang Qinyu and Old Man Lu stepped back and watched Meng Tianze lift the boulder and smash it down high.
There was a loud "bang" and the stones on the ground cracked, but they didn't break open yet.
Meng Tianze continued his efforts, and there was another loud bang. The ground finally cracked, and the sound of water came from underneath.
"There's really water underneath?" Meng Tianze was stunned, blinking at Jiang Qinyu.
Jiang Qinyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Meng is still very strong. Then please, Uncle Meng, give it a few more hits to see if you can create a passage. Let's go down and take a look."
Meng Tianze smiled brightly, "Okay! Just wait and see!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and hit the crack several times.
Jiang Qinyu and Old Man Lu watched the hole getting bigger and bigger. Finally, it was big enough for a strong adult man to pass through. Only then did Meng Tianze stop.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's not high down here. I'll go down and take a look. Once I'm sure everything is OK, you two can come down later."
As he spoke, he spat on his hands, rubbed them open, and jumped down through the hole.
Jiang Qinyu immediately stepped forward and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Meng Tianze land safely.
Fortunately, the height from here to the bottom is only about 1.5 meters, otherwise she might not dare to jump down.
"Sister-in-law, there is more water below than above, and it looks like running water!" Meng Tianze's voice suddenly came.
