Chapter 825 Princess, give up, there's no water to be found (2/2)



The villagers mobilized to move it.

The tents were brand new, and the sheets were soft and warm. No one had ever used such nice things before. They touched the sheets, admiring them and their faces were full of longing.

"As long as everyone works hard, these tents and sheets can all be taken home," Qiao Lian'er said.

The villagers were excited again.

But they immediately realized that they needed a river source; if they dug into a hole, they wouldn't even have a chance to work.

Now they can only hope that they can really dig out a river with a source, not just for these bed sheets, but also for the benefit of Xuan County for a hundred years, saving them from future troubles.

As night falls, the aroma of rice and meat fills the air, making one's mouth water.

Lord Liang observed that they had dug about 15 feet deep, and the rock layers had been broken through, but they still did not see any river.

really--

He and Lord Zhu exchanged a glance.

Have dinner here, spend the night here, and then let everyone go their own way the next day.

Those who started digging all looked disappointed.

After a strenuous physical exertion, they had lost their enthusiasm for watching the spectacle.

Who wouldn't want to actually dig out an underground river? The Princess Zhenguo has been so kind to everyone, and they don't want to embarrass her.

Moreover, if there were a suitable underground river to irrigate the entire county, they wouldn't have to live such a difficult life every year.

Lord Liang carefully considered his words, thinking about how to address everyone.

Now he felt a pang of sympathy for Qiao Lian'er. After all, she was just a teenage girl, and it must be very difficult for her to be in this situation.

One villager said, "Princess Zhenguo thinks there might be other water sources, so we'll go dig again first thing tomorrow morning."

"Hehe, as long as the princess provides a full meal, that's fine." Another villager scratched his head sheepishly.

They weren't just after the Princess Zhenguo; they were willing to gamble with her, hoping that if they won, everyone would be happy.

These villagers are simple-minded; when they hate, they truly hate, but if you treat them well, they immediately become grateful.

Qiao Lian'er used the space detector and said, "Dig another foot down."

She bent down and touched the exposed rocks; her hands felt wet.

I listened carefully again and could faintly hear the sound of water flowing by.

“Princess, let’s forget it, there really is no water here,” a villager said, shaking his head.

From the very beginning, no one had any expectations.

Lord Liang stepped in to smooth things over: "Princess Zhenguo is kind to everyone, and everyone sees and remembers it. It's alright if we can't dig the canal for the time being; there are always other solutions. Alas, it's also because I haven't done my job well. Over the years, I haven't been able to come up with an effective solution."

Qiao Lian'er raised an eyebrow: "Lord Liang, why don't you dig it? If you dig out water, you'll be the first person in Xuanjun to open up a canal."

"Ah—this official—this." Lord Liang was at a loss for what to do.

Is Princess Zhenguo helping him, or is she toying with him?

"What, does Lord Liang intend to disobey orders?" Qiao Lian'er's tone became stern.

With a pained expression, Lord Liang had no choice but to pick up the hoe.
