Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After dinner, the couple studied the water meter carefully. When it was quiet outside, they set off with their devices.

First, they measured the three water sources the village chief and the others had found and didn’t expect they would really find one with water in it.

It was in a barren land not far from their house, but at the moment, it seemed that they had to dig 50 feet to reach the water. Luckily, the water inside was abundant. If they could dig deeper, at least the problem of water supply for the villagers would be solved.

“Are we still going to look for more?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Let’s try again along this line. Our village will be in a good position if we get two more water sources.” Gu Chengrui followed the water meter’s instructions and went over them.

Finally, they found another place by the river, not far from the village entrance. The water here was in even larger volumes as if it were connected to the underground river.

“Who is it?” At that moment, a loud shout was heard, and a few figures quickly ran over.

…..

They quickly removed the water meter and placed it in the inters.p.a.ce. They then took out two bamboo sticks and inserted them into the hole where the water-measuring device was.

“It’s me, Gu Chengrui.” Gu Chengrui stood up.

“Doctor Gu, why are you here? What are you doing?” Qian s.h.i.+san, the leader, immediately went forward and asked enthusiastically.

“Oh, Thirteen Uncle. The village is going to dig a well. Since it’s hot and I can’t sleep, I came out to try and look around.” Gu Chengrui pointed at the two bamboo poles.

“I didn’t expect Doctor Gu to have such a skill.”

“I just learned it from the village chief and my uncle in the afternoon.”

“So how is it? Can we get water from here?” Qian s.h.i.+san asked. The rest of the patrol team also surrounded the bamboo pole and looked at it curiously.

“I’m not sure yet; we’ll know soon. By the way, how many patrol teams are here at night?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“Two, one to the east and one to the west,” Qian s.h.i.+san replied.

Gu Chengrui nodded and then chatted for a while.

After about 15 minutes, he pulled out the bamboo pole. As expected, more than half of it was wet.

Seeing this, Qian s.h.i.+san immediately exclaimed, “There’s so much water here!”

“Yes, yes. It seems like our village is saved.” The villagers also exclaimed.

“Maybe it’s because it’s close to the river.” Gu Chengrui replied.

If he wasn’t wrong, this was the junction of the above-ground and underground rivers, which was why there was so much water.

“It should be. Chengrui, you’ve saved the entire village this time.” Qian s.h.i.+san nodded.

“Uncle, don’t say that. The village chief and the patriarch would find this place sooner or later.” Gu Chengrui made a mark and said, “You guys go ahead. We’ll head home after we’re done with the marking.”

“Well, we’ll continue our patrol then. Take care, you two.” Qian s.h.i.+san responded and left with the rest.

Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying heaved a sigh of relief simultaneously. Fortunately, they didn’t ask too many questions or else they wouldn’t know how to answer them.

After finding this place, the two didn’t continue looking. Instead, they went home to sleep.

The next morning, Gu Chengrui told the patriarch about the water source he had found and didn’t mention anything else.

After the young couple arrived in town, they busied themselves with their own businesses. At noon, Fang Qing returned with his men in a sorry state. He approached Zhou Ying in the backyard and said, “Mistress, something happened.”

“What happened?” Zhou Ying, picking vegetables under a big tree in the courtyard, looked up and asked.

“The refugees at the porridge stand are causing trouble.” Fang Qing took a deep breath and explained, “Now, most of the porridge stands don’t even provide real porridge. Some of them are so diluted that they can reflect a person’s shadow, while others use discarded grains to fill the gaps.

“As for ours…

“Our flour dumpling soup is also being criticized..”
