Hearing this, Jiang Qinyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted towards the cave entrance: "Brother Meng, come up first. Let's go and call the village chief and others over. I suspect there may be an underground lake or a hidden river underneath!"

"What?" Old Man Lu looked at Jiang Qinyu in confusion. "Just based on that, you say there's a lake or a hidden river down there?"

Although he supports his daughter-in-law, he cannot support her blindly!

What if she calls the villagers and tinkers with it here, but in the end nothing is found? Wouldn't the villagers hate her?

Jiang Qinyu nodded without hesitation, "I've seen it in one of my eldest brother's books. The terrain and conditions here indicate there's an underground water source."

Of course, this was all made up by Jiang Qinyu. Her confidence came from the map prompts given by the system. If she continued at the current pace, she would find the big bright spot in no time.

But you have to find a reason to convince others.

Old man Lu thought of the deceased scholar Jiang, who was the only scholar in the surrounding villages. After hesitating for a while, he felt relieved.

He had never read a book in his life and didn't know anything about it, but his son A Zheng had read books and was very good at it. A Zheng used to often say things like "Books are the golden house". I guess it's similar to what Yu Yatou is saying now, right?

Meng Tianze came up quickly and sat down on the ground. It was obvious that he was a little tired from the continuous physical exertion. "Uncle Lu, my sister-in-law and I will stay here. You go and ask the village chief and others to come over. I feel that what my sister-in-law said may be right. There is also an empty area under the ground."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lu immediately said, "Okay, I'll go right away. You guys should be more careful here."

After he left, Jiang Qinyu asked, "Brother Meng, is there really any empty space downstairs?"

"Well, I just imitated what you did and knocked on the wall and the ground. There is indeed an empty place underneath." Meng Tianze took a deep breath and spoke more coherently.

Jiang Qinyu was secretly delighted. If this was true, they would be able to find plenty of water without having to undertake major projects and survive this disaster year!

Of course, she can also complete the task of unlocking the aquatic area within the time specified by the system, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Jiang Qinyu had been very conflicted before. She could draw a three-dimensional diagram of the distribution of water sources to help the villagers find water, but that would take a very long time and it would be impossible for her to complete the task within the specified time.

Water is so important to the people of Dingshui Village. She can't take away all the water before finding a large source of water, leaving the villagers with no water to drink, right?

Fortunately, Tiandao's father doted on her and made her search for water easier.

But she couldn't relax now, after all, the time had not come for her to finally find the water source.

Village Chief Li and his men arrived quickly. "Old Meng, niece, your luck is incredible! We searched everywhere around here and didn't see any water, and you found two in one go."

"Village chief, you are wrong. Old Lu just said that there may be more below!" Li Dachui immediately reminded.

Village Chief Li laughed heartily. "Right, right, right! Maybe this time we can solve all the water problems in the village!"

With such a beautiful wish, the people left behind in Dingshui Village began to go down into the cave one by one, and Jiang Qinyu also went down.

The height of this cave is a bit low, so the men have to bend over, and even Jiang Qinyu has to lower her head.

But this did not affect everyone's high spirits at all. They basically came in with their weapons, and after asking where Meng Tianze was talking about, they concentrated their strength on knocking and smashing there.

"Look, sister-in-law, this water is not flowing down from above, but seems to be coming up from below." Meng Tianze pointed at the puddle and said to Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu knew the reason, of course. The location indicated on the map was different from what everyone had seen. She was just thinking about how to remind everyone, but when she heard this, she immediately said, "If that's the case, then we can also look for it underwater."

"A Zheng's family, do you need to go into the water to take a look? I'll go!" Liu Erlang heard what they said and immediately stepped forward to express his opinion.

Originally he thought he would dig a well in the mountains this time, but now he has found a new way out. Liu Erleng felt that he was not valued and was feeling depressed when he heard Jiang Qinyu's words.

He is very good at swimming, and most of the young people in the village who want to learn how to swim go to him.

"Then Brother Erleng, you go down and take a look." Meng Tianze agreed.

It would be great if we could find the source of the groundwater.

Liu Erlang immediately found the longest stick and tied a rope around his waist. The other end of the rope was in Meng Tianze's hand.

He had to first determine how deep the puddle was, and tied the rope for safety reasons.

As Liu Erlang explored, progress was also made in digging the hole on the other side.

"The shorter ones can go down first!" Village Chief Li shouted.

A man nicknamed Skinny Monkey was the first to step forward and said, "Village Chief, I'll go down first!"

After saying that, he jumped down.

As expected of a skinny monkey, his body was so agile that he went down in the blink of an eye.

"You idiot! You jumped down without even looking, are you trying to show off how capable you are?" Village chief Li didn't have time to stop him when he jumped down, and now that he saw him land safely, he laughed and scolded him.

The skinny monkey laughed from below, "Village Chief, please get a torch down here! It's too dark down there, I can't see!"

Someone quickly threw a torch down.

At the same time, Liu Erlang also touched the entrance to the cave, "Lao Meng, I found it!"

"Village chief, the water in the puddle above is connected to here!" The skinny monkey's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, meaning that these two holes were connected?

This meant that Liu Erlang no longer had to stay in the water. He quickly came up, put on his clothes, and stood behind Meng Tianze.

"It's quite cool to take a dip in the summer." Liu Erlang said with a smile, fearing that Jiang Qinyu would feel embarrassed.

In fact, he was really worrying too much. Jiang Qinyu was not embarrassed at all.

"Hurry up and smash it! Make the hole bigger. Let's go down and take a look to see what's going on..." Village Chief Li urged.

Jiang Qinyu couldn't help but be surprised when she heard what Shouhou said. Could it be that this place is connected to an underground lake or a dark river?

With hope, the men moved faster, and before long, the hole they made was big enough.

Village Chief Li asked Meng Tianze to protect Jiang Qinyu, and then he jumped down first.

Jiang Qinyu cut in line with the person in front of her because she really wanted to see what was going on down there.

"It's a bit high here. Sister-in-law, tie a rope around your waist and I'll let you down." Meng Tianze tied the rope that Liu Erleng had just used to tie to Jiang Qinyu.

Jiang Qinyu did not refuse their kindness and was soon moved to the next level.

When she landed and saw the ditch, she understood.

This must be the path to the underground water source, and due to the drought, the caves in the rock formations are now dry, so there are puddles.

However, the one at the top does not seem to be a flow of water from underground sources, but should be formed by the melting snow on the top of the mountain.

"Niece, what should we do now?" Village Chief Li looked at Jiang Qinyu habitually.

Jiang Qinyu pondered for a moment, then looked up at the dried-up ditch. "Uncle Village Chief, I suspect there must be a hidden river underground. It's not a lake, but a river. Let's dig down along the direction of this ditch and see what we can find."

"Okay," Village Chief Li nodded in agreement without hesitation. "Then let's continue as before and take a look."

For the entire day, the dozen or so people they left behind were working hard to smash down.

Under Jiang Qinyu's intentional or unintentional guidance, when night fell, everyone stood in amazement on the bank of the silently flowing underground river.
