MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family-Chapter 6 water source

Chapter 6 Water Source

The Chu family used to live in the city with Luo Tiezhu and was very knowledgeable.

Aunt Tian agreed very much and picked the leaves and said: "Sister-in-law Luo is right. Now that there are still leaves, let's eat more leaves and save the food we can save for later. Although these leaves are bitter, they can live people."

Gu Jinli also picked some leaves, but there were too many victims, and the mountains and plains were filled with hungry victims. As soon as they saw greener leaves, the victims rushed forward, and in less than a cup of tea, the entire tree's leaves were picked. The branches were broken by the light.

The third grandma looked at the bare branches and sighed: "Let's go forward. If we walk more, we can always fill the basket."

"Hey." Mrs. Chu responded and helped Third Grandma to move forward. Aunt Tian and Erhua Xiaohua were walking behind her. Gu Jinli did not move, but looked to the right, where there was a dry river.

She ran to the waterless river and squatted down, looking at the dry ground. There were more than a dozen snail shells on the ground.

Gu Jinli often performed field missions in his previous life. When he saw these snail shells, he immediately thought of one thing - shallow groundwater.

 Shallow groundwater is the first water storage area under the surface. The ground with shallow water will be relatively humid, and snails, malans, and day lilies will appear.

They are short of water now. Water can be exchanged for food. If they can find a water source, their family will be saved.

Seeing that Gu Jinli did not follow, but instead squatted on the ground and looked at the ground, Mrs. Chu hurriedly shouted: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking at? Let's go quickly."

Gu Jinli responded, ran to Mrs. Chu and Third Grandma, pointed at the victims who were pouring into the mountains ahead, and suggested: "Third Grandma, so many victims are walking this way, and we won't be able to find them if we follow them." If you want to eat, why not walk along the wadi to the right."

She turned her hand and pointed to the dry river on the right: "No one is walking this way. Let's go this way. Maybe we can find wild vegetables."

 More likely to find water.

The third grandma looked in the direction pointed by Gu Jinli. Although there was no road there, there were no victims. Looking back at the front, she saw that a large group of victims had blocked the way. She immediately agreed: "Okay, listen to Xiaoyu, we will go along the way." Go right along the wadi."

Mrs. Chu and Aunt Tian had no objections and listened to the third grandma. The group of six people walked to the right, pulling away the thorny thorns and stepping on the dry weeds to open a mountain road.

 Gu Jinli lowered his head and searched for the snail shell all the way. After walking forward for a quarter of an hour, he saw another snail shell. When he walked further, the time to find the snail shell became shorter. After walking a few meters, he could find a new snail shell.

Ms. Chu kept paying attention to her, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoyu, what are you looking for? Why do you keep staring at the ground?"

Gu Jinli replied: "Mother Luo, I'm looking for wild vegetables."

Mrs. Chu smiled and shook her head: "You kid, you must be starving. Mother Rob's house still has some beans. I'll give you some tonight. You just woke up and need to replenish them."

Beans are durable. Many victims carried beans on their backs to make food on their way out of the famine. When they were hungry, they would grab a few handfuls of beans and cook them with leaves, grass, and roots for a meal.

"Thank you, Mother Rob." Gu Jinli thanked her and looked down at the ground, looking for something that excited her more than a snail shell.

Her judgment was correct. After walking forward for half an hour, she finally saw a few half-withered day lilies among thorns: "Third Grandma, there are Sichuan herbs over there. Let's go there quickly."

In the Chu Dynasty, day lily was called Sichuan grass. As soon as Gu Jinli mentioned Sichuan grass, the third grandmother and others all looked at the place she pointed, and sure enough they saw a few half-withered Sichuan grass.

The third grandma smiled from ear to ear: "Xiaoyu is a lucky person, he really found wild vegetables."

Aunt Tian took her two daughters to clean up the thorns, looked at the few Sichuan grass plants, and said regretfully: "There are only a few plants, and the flowers are almost gone." Third Grandma's smile did not diminish: "Just be content. This area is full of thorns, and no disaster victims have come, so we can find Sichuan grass vegetables. We are lucky enough."

Gu Jinli was excited and helped Aunt Tian and her daughter clear the thorns, and said: "Third Grandma is right, we are lucky today, and we are sure to find something better."

 The better thing she said was water.

Shallow groundwater is determined based on animal activities and plant growth. If the previous snail shells were a coincidence, then the current daylilies can prove that there is shallow groundwater in this area.

The thorns were pricking people. After they cleared the thorns that were blocking them, their hands were already bleeding, and their patched linen clothes had a few small cuts. They didn't care and ran to several rivers in two or three steps. In front of the grass, I carefully picked the half-withered Sichuan grass flowers, and then picked up the withered Sichuan grass flowers on the ground.

None of the six people robbed them, but gave the Sichuan grass flowers to the third grandma, who distributed them among them.

The third grandma counted the Sichuan grass flowers, and there were forty-five in total: "We are six people looking for food together. Regardless of age, as long as we contribute, we will share it equally. Each person has seven flowers. The Sichuan grass flowers were found by Xiaoyu. , give the remaining three to her."

Gu Jinli did not refuse, and collected his portion with satisfaction. He stood up, looked around at the field full of thorns and withered grass in front of him, and said, "Third Grandma, there should be Sichuan grass vegetables in this area. Let's look for them again." try to find."

Everyone was in high spirits, and when they heard this, they all agreed: "Okay."

As they spoke, the six people spread out and carefully walked around the nearby fields, looking for Sichuan grass.

Gu Jinli walked forward, using the branches in his hands to dig at the soil on the ground every five meters to check the moisture of the soil. He dug a dozen small mud pits and walked forward for several dozen meters. Finally, he found the soil here. The soil is wetter than before. It is no longer dry, but moist with moisture.

She was overjoyed and looked around the small mud pit she dug as the center. Sure enough, she saw a patch of Sichuan grass hidden among thorns and dead grass on the left front.

She shouted: "Third Grandma, Mother Luo, Aunt Tian, ​​Erhua Xiaohua, there are Sichuan vegetables here, a lot of Sichuan vegetables!"

Hearing this, the third grandma and others hurriedly looked towards her, and then looked in the direction of her finger. Sure enough, they saw a large area of ​​half-withered Sichuan grass, and they hurried towards her.

"The eyes of the little fish are very good. I found a piece of Sichuan grass after searching for it." Aunt Tian was so happy that she almost ran over with her two daughters. This piece of Sichuan grass was only half an acre, and she picked it all and divided it into six sections. The portion is enough for their family to have a full meal.

Mrs. Chu and the third grandma followed and started picking Sichuan vegetables with faces full of joy.

Gu Jinli knew that the third grandmother would divide the Sichuan grass vegetables into six parts, so he did not pick the Sichuan grass vegetables. Instead, he used sharpened branches to dig the soil where the Sichuan grass vegetables grew best. After digging a full foot, the soil was Moisture turns to mud.

Gu Jinli was overjoyed, there was water below.

Mrs. Chu always felt that Gu Jinli was very strange today. Seeing that she was digging soil instead of picking Sichuan grass vegetables, she couldn't help but said: "Xiaoyu, what are you doing again? Hurry up and pick Sichuan grass vegetables. We have to rush back after picking. , it’s getting dark.”

 Gu Jinli did not dare to shout loudly, for fear that there were other victims hiding nearby, so he trotted up to Mrs. Chu and Third Grandma, and lowered his voice: "Mother Rob, Third Grandma, I have found the water source, we are saved!"

Shallow groundwater requires digging at least five meters. It is impossible for a family of six to dig out water alone. They have to find helpers. The Luo family, the third grandma’s family, and the Tian family are the best helpers.
