Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Water source, water source.

Bai Yi was quite sensitive to these two words.

Even in his sleep, if someone speaks to him, he will jump up.

He's almost gone mad in his search for water.

So how could he not hear what Sang Ning said?

"What did you say?"

"I said, I can find a water source!"

Sang Ning spoke each word clearly, using both his voice and lip movements, so that Bai Yi could hear and see them clearly.

I have a way to put out the fire.

That's what she said back then.

Then, she put out the fire.

Bai Yi suddenly felt his heart pounding loudly.

Could she really find water?

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop around us.

Then, whispers started to emerge from every nook and cranny.

"It's hilarious! I've worn out five pairs of shoes and haven't even seen a drop of water. This newcomer hasn't even figured out our terrain yet, and he's already making such big promises. Isn't he afraid of biting his tongue?"

"He's really desperate to make a name for himself!"

"She can find water sources, but I only see them when it rains and the water is flooded."

Even Rong Kun said, "Do you know what Kunlun Hill is? Do you know why a battlefield is called a 'battlefield'? This isn't the capital city where you can just fight and draw water anywhere!"

His last sentence sounded somewhat resentful.

How could these pampered people of the capital possibly know the cruelty here?

What kind of lives do the people here lead year after year?

In the Northwest region, the phrase "favorable weather for crops" will never apply!

"Hawthorne! Don't joke around with the water source!" Rong Kun gritted his teeth.

How did my defenses get breached?

Why would an old man be jealous?

Huo Jingya gave a dismissive "ha".

"What a joke! What you understand, my fourth sister-in-law certainly understands; what you don't understand, my fourth sister-in-law also understands. Your inability to find water is due to your incompetence! My fourth sister-in-law can tell where there is water just by smelling it!"

Sanning: "..."

Who taught Huo Jingya her speaking skills?

Why do kind words always sound so unpleasant?

Is she a dog? Does she rely on her nose to find someone?

Enraged, Rong Kun blurted out, "You're so arrogant!"

"My lord, I just want to know, what kind of preferential treatment will I receive if I find a water source?" Sang Ning asked, staring at Bai Yi.

"If you find a water source, according to the imperial court's regulations, it will be considered a major merit for the country and its people. Your entire family will be exempt from corvée labor, and may also..."

Report to the capital, and the sentence may be reduced, or the emperor may grant a pardon, allowing the person to return to the capital.

However, the charges against the Huo family are unlikely to be dismissed.

Therefore, Bai Yi didn't say it.

"It can also meet some other small requests of yours."

“Sir, you actually told her this? How could she possibly find water!” Rong Kun said.

"What loss do you and I suffer whether we find it or not?" Bai Yi retorted.

It's just one more person looking for it.

It seems so.

Rong Kun didn't say anything more, and of course, he didn't expect anything.

"Fine, my other demands are simple. The person who committed the crime at my house today, besides paying for medical expenses, is not allowed to drink the water I found! Unless they receive forgiveness from my entire family!"

Let's see if they'll kowtow then!

“Okay!” Bai Yi replied.

A burly man shouted, "If you can really find the water, I'll not only kowtow to you, I'll even call you 'Dad'!"

Sang Ning sneered: "Don't joke about gender. You can call me 'Mom'!"

Everyone: "..."

Does she really think she's found water?

However, the more arrogant Sang Ning became, the more excited Bai Yi became.

That shows how confident they are!

He liked it, he was excited!

Suppressing his surging emotions, he asked calmly, "How long will it take you to find it?"

"I will find a water source within three days!"

Sang Ning gave a number.

She is the one who will find a water source for Liangzhou City, and she doesn't want to do good deeds in obscurity.

Those who benefit should also know who gave them a way to survive!

"Three days... Good!"

We can hold out for three days without causing a riot.

The two doctors finally arrived late.

After examining the Huo family members.

Xie Yurou, barely able to speak, pleaded, "Doctor, please save my child! Prescribe the best medicine to prevent miscarriage: Angelica sinensis powder, Atractylodes macrocephala powder..."

Doctor A took the patient's pulse.

"You're almost three months pregnant, this is a crucial time, you can't worry too much, there are signs of miscarriage..."

The old lady wiped away her tears: "Doctor, you must save this child. The child's father will thank you from heaven."

Doctor A: "...No need to disturb the child's father, I will do my best."

Huo Chang'an woke up at just the right moment: "My chest hurts, it hurts when I breathe, it feels like being pricked with needles..."

The experienced doctor, B, accurately diagnosed: "This is damage to the lungs and internal organs!"

"You need to take good care of yourself with ginseng, astragalus, and yam."

Jintang: "I have a headache, and I feel like there are sounds in my head, and something is moving around."

Doctor B was greatly surprised and held up one finger: "Child, how many can you see?"

"Two...no, three...no, my fingers are moving, I can't count them."

Doctor B lamented, "A head injury with internal blood stasis will, if not treated properly, lead to blindness in mild cases and dementia in severe cases!"

Li Yuzhi exclaimed in shock: "Doctor, you must prescribe the best medicine to save my son! He's a child who was praised by the Dean of the Military Academy for his exceptional talent!"

"Good good."

Where did you find these two doctors with such superb medical skills?

Sang Ning even believed it was true.

After all that, the cost of the medicine alone reached a hundred taels!

This doesn't even include precious medicinal herbs like ginseng.

The villagers were furious.

"Sir, I didn't hurt him! I only grabbed the water, I didn't touch anyone!"

"Sir, I only dug up the vegetable garden."

"Sir, my son is injured too!"

……

It's no use talking to them; they broke into a private residence.

A group of people were crying and cursing Wu Hecai.

Wu Hecai was given fifty strokes of the cane and ordered to pay the bulk of his medical expenses, sixty taels of silver.

"Lady Sang, I was wrong, please forgive me!" he begged loudly.

"I don't have that much silver, and I have no food either. I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise..."

Sang Ning clicked his tongue, "How is that possible? Master Wu makes 150 taels of silver just by building two kang beds!"

"No, no, it's because I was asking for an exorbitant amount..."

Actually, he hadn't made a sale in a long time, and he had originally thought he could get a big one from Sang Ning...

"I also want to spare you, but my family has been harmed by you and needs to recover! How about this, for Old Cao's sake, I'll give you fifty-nine taels."

Sang Ning returned Wu Hecai's words to him.

"Madam Sang, you're forcing me to my death!"

"Go to hell! Remember to die somewhere far away, in your own house, lest your whole family be cursed!"

Wu Hecai was just finished with the last blow when he vomited blood and fainted.

The villagers who caused the disturbance were each beaten with ten sticks, and then they went home to raise money and food.

Next.

Sang Ning and Huo Jingya sat at the doorway collecting their belongings.

Someone brought dried green beans.

Someone brought some grain flour.

Some people even brought hickory nuts.

It's obvious at a glance that they're hiding something they wouldn't even eat themselves.

Many brought their children along, letting the children cry that they were hungry, hoping to soften Sang Ning's heart.

Sang Ning smiled and said, "Hungry? If you're hungry, tell your parents to stop doing things that are against their conscience, so you won't suffer retribution!"
