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

Topics like family, country, and war always weigh heavily on people's minds.

Even the sound of footsteps on fallen leaves felt oppressive.

Su Huiye also knew that the idea of ​​taking back Yequan was nothing more than a self-deceiving expectation.

He probably won't see it again in his lifetime.

However, I'm still grateful to Sang Ning; her words of comfort were very sincere.

"General Su, actually, a person's appearance, whether black or white, beautiful or ugly, is not the most important thing. What matters is sincerity. If you are sincere to Miss Xiaofang, she will feel it."

Sang Ning began to seriously consider Su Huiye's situation.

“I am sincere and genuine, but Xiaofang seems to be afraid of me. She hides whenever I go there.”

"Why don't you try shaving your beard?"

To be honest, this full beard really affects his appearance, making him look ten years older for no reason.

Su Huiye frowned, his thick eyebrows furrowing: "You just said that appearance doesn't matter."

Sang Ning slapped her mouth.

"Actually, that's also important. You have to make Xiaofang unafraid of you first before she has a chance to understand your heart. What girl wouldn't love a hero like you who protects the people?"

Su Huiye was a little embarrassed by the praise, and he coughed twice while stroking his beard.

"Then I'll go back and try it out."

Although he was very reluctant to part with his beloved Mei Ran, he couldn't care less about that in order to marry Xiao Fang.

A group of people walked through the burned forest, thick ash covering the ground beneath their feet.

The charred, broken pieces of wood lay scattered about, a testament to the intensity of the fire.

Bai Yi, filled with doubt, asked Sang Ning, "Is the water source in this direction?"

"Yes, it's another 15 minutes' walk."

So, she knew about the water source a few days ago, but only brought them here now?

Bai Yi felt sorry for the people for a moment.

But the further I walked, the more I felt something was wrong.

this place……

“This place has bad feng shui! Shall we go around it?” Xu Wude spoke first.

And she even covered her nose.

“Fatty, you even know about feng shui?” Sang Ning chuckled.

Look at these rows of ash trees. If this were modern times, this would be a key protected area, wouldn't it?

“Here…” Su Huiye scratched his head, “When we come to the mountains to hunt, we usually relieve ourselves here when we can’t hold it in anymore.”

“Yes, some shameless people do like to avoid this place.” Bai Yi glanced at him sideways.

Because the grass here grows tall enough to provide shade.

Sang Ning's face darkened. What do you mean by not caring about one's reputation?

She also wanted to use this place!

However, it was clear that Bai Yi wasn't referring to her.

After he finished speaking, General Su and some officials all stared at him.

Previously, when people went hunting, there were often wild rabbits and pheasants in this area, so many people had walked through this area.

Indeed... the feng shui is bad.

After looking around without saying a word, Yue Buyuan finally spoke.

"Lady Sang, is the water source you mentioned nearby?"

He had been walking for a while, and his breathing was uneven; his body was indeed weaker than others.

His polite manners and scholarly air made him stand out among the group of rough, tough men.

"It's either nearby, it's right here, right where you're standing! We've arrived!"

To everyone's surprise, her words caused a change in everyone's expression.

Still clinging to a sliver of hope, Yue Buyuan asked again, "You say there's a water source here, is that based on these tall trees and the lusher grass than elsewhere?"

"more or less."

Sang Ning couldn't say that the space told her there was an underground river; just from the surface, these things did have the characteristics of a water source.

But why do everyone look so grim?

The moon's expression seemed to have been shattered, filled with disappointment.

Bai Yi twitched his lips in self-deprecation, unsure whether he wanted to cry or laugh.

At this point, he didn't even have the strength to blame Sang Ning.

To be frank, she didn't delay anyone in any way.

Perhaps he really does know some tricks to finding water, after all, when he first started flipping through books about the moon not being full, this was the place he was looking for.

Sang Ning had already started looking around to see where would be a good place to fetch water.

We definitely need to avoid hitting the ash trees.

Although the tree wasn't that valuable at the moment, Sang Ning's impression of it was already ingrained, and she still couldn't bear to cut it down.

"Let's drill right here, make a large one, or we can dig a pool."

After speaking for a long time, no one responded.

Sang Ning looked up.

To everyone's surprise, the officials carried chisels, pulley frames, grates, drill rods... and were about to leave.

“No need to dig anymore. The first well we dug a month ago was right here, but there was no water,” Bai Yi said.

Then he waved goodbye, looking exhausted, and headed home.

"They dug here too? Which place? I don't see it."

“It wasn’t the place you chose; it was behind that big rock. They filled it in again because they were afraid of hurting someone,” Rong Kun explained.

She even glared at Sang Ning resentfully.

"How many meters did you shoot?"

No one answered; everyone obeyed Bai Yi's orders and prepared to retreat.

Only Yue Buyuan asked in confusion, "What is rice?"

"Oh, it's so deep!"

Sang Ning didn't have time to explain and first called out to Bai Yi, "Your Excellency, I can guarantee there's water down there. I've already searched for it. What's the point of you not digging?"

"So what if there's water below? What if the water is a hundred feet deep? How are we supposed to dig then?" Bai Yi suddenly turned around and questioned.

"This towering tree is at least a hundred years old. Haven't you heard of a tree with deep roots? Its roots may be higher and extend further than the trunk on the ground!"

It can draw water from dozens of meters underground. Can we humans dig that far?

No water! No water!

Bai Yi roared, a rare occurrence for him.

But it wasn't directed at Sang Ning.

It was a desperate roar.

The grass here is so lush because there is a stone wall in front of it, which is shady!

He even dreamt last night that he had gotten water today, and woke up excitedly from the dream, unable to fall back asleep until dawn.

He saw this as his last hope.

But in the end...

The others also had tears in their eyes, all feeling a deep sense of sympathy.

Even Xu Wude was sighing and complaining.

At that moment, he really hoped to find water, even if it meant damaging five shops.

No matter how arrogant he usually is, his roots are in Liangzhou, and he doesn't want all the people to die!

“My fourth sister-in-law said there’s water here, so there is water here! She can even smell the water!” Huo Jingya retorted defiantly.

Seriously, what kind of expressions do they all have? Do they even know how amazing Fourth Sister-in-law is at finding water?

Li Yuzhi also firmly stated, "Yes, Your Excellency, my sister-in-law found several water sources during her exile, including one at the bottom of a thirty-zhang cliff!"

"You smelled it?" General Su blurted out.

Is she a turtle from the river? She can still smell water?

Xu Wude wrinkled his nose and sniffed hard.

I can't smell anything, not even the smell of feces and urine that used to be there.

Sang Ning had no other choice and nodded resignedly, "Yes, I can smell it. There's water down there. We don't need to dig that deep, just..."

Sang Ning looked at the location of the cave.

That place is higher, probably more than ten meters higher than here.

The annoying guy said it was 30 meters down the cave, so if we cut that to 50%, it would still be 15 meters.

"Dig no more than five zhang (approximately 10 meters), and you'll find water!"
