When Master Zhang saw Fu Yanting, he was surprised and delighted. He trembled all the way and trotted to him. His eyes were red as he said, "They all said that the capital was burned by the sky fire for more than half a month. Everyone inside died, including Master Fu and you."
"We left the capital before the heavenly fire came and happened to escape this disaster. But what exactly happened in Zi'an City? Why did it become like this now?" Fu Yanting asked seriously.
Master Zhang sighed, "Our Zi'an City is the only place with water in the nearby ten counties. Hundreds of people gathered here, but unfortunately they were all killed by Deputy General He. He occupied the land and became the king here. After recuperating, he led his army to attack the capital and become the new king of our Dayong."
Fu Kanghong kicked at the dust on the ground. "He, the man surnamed He, wants to be the new emperor. He is really a beggar holding a stick and thinks he is the leader of the Beggars' Gang!"
While the three of them were talking, Chu Chenyin walked alone into the back of the yard. Seeing the shovel still on the ground, he turned around and asked Master Zhang, "What were you originally going to do here?"
Master Zhang quickly raised his head and looked in her direction. "Before you came, Lieutenant General He was planning to dig for water here, and it seems he had already dug halfway."
"Is there water here?" Chu Chenyin squatted down and pinched the sand on the ground.
Mr. Zhang shook his head. "We don't know either. More than ten days ago, Vice Admiral He dug a pit nearby with a small amount of water in it."
Chu Chenyin stood up and said, "We have already dug half of it, so let's continue digging."
"Okay, I'll ask the villagers to come and dig!" Mr. Zhang responded loudly.
He said, turned around and called to the back of the house: "Come out, it's General Fu who's back!"
When they heard that it was General Fu, the villagers who had been hiding in the back came out one after another.
There were old and young people, as well as young men and women, about eighteen in total.
It's sad that there are only so many people left in the whole city.
Chu Chenyin threw the shovel to Fu Yanting, "Yanting, dig together!"
She looked carefully at the dug hole and found that the underground rock layers were somewhat different from what she usually saw. It was very likely that there was more than just water inside.
Fu Yanting took it in his hand and then led the group to dig.
Although the loess rain in Mobei has stopped for a while, if the wind blows, the sandstorm is still very strong. If you continue to dig in the big pit, after a few more days, the hole will be buried by a layer of sand.
Everyone seized the opportunity to dig.
Although there were not many of them, they were all very strong and soon dug to a depth of more than ten meters.
Because it was too deep, they finally sent out the youngest guy, who tied a rope and continued digging inside. After half an hour.
Suddenly a voice came from below, "General Fu, it's been dug out!"
"We dug out water?" the other villagers asked excitedly.
The young man in the pit shouted back, "It doesn't look like water! It's black and slimy!"
Chu Chenyin's eyes lit up, and she quickly shouted at him, "Come out quickly! Don't drink what's in there!"
After hearing this, the young man immediately pulled the rope to climb up. Fu Yanting and Fu Canghong grabbed the rope and pulled him up.
Fu Qianghong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked in confusion, "Is it really black water? How come we have never heard of it before?"
The young man nodded and stretched out his hand, and there was indeed something black in his hand.
Chu Chenyin smelled it and was overjoyed. This was a great treasure.
