When the people above heard that they were to pull up the people below, they started to use ropes to pull up the villagers who were digging in the mud below.
Gao Zhijun waited for the villagers to untie the ropes. She took another one, tied one end to a big tree, and tied the other end to herself. Then she took the sickle and prepared to go down.
"Miss Gao, what are you doing?"
"Sister, if you want to go down, your second brother can pull you up."
Huo Jinhao said puzzledly.
"No need, second brother. This is the best way. If we dig a water outlet, the groundwater will surge up and we will be submerged if we walk slowly."
Gao Zhijun didn't want to hand her life over to someone else, even if that person had no ill will towards her.
If you give the initiative to others, if he is slower, you may lose your life.
Hearing that it was so dangerous, Huo Jinhao, Huo Jinqian, Huo Jinting and Huo Jinqing immediately stopped her from going down.
Da Zhuang and the others also disagreed. It was impossible to let a little girl do such a dangerous thing. How could they, as grown men, have the dignity to live like that?
"Sister, if my second brother doesn't agree, I'll be the one to go down."
"Sister, brother doesn't agree either. You, a woman, can't go down and take such a risk!"
"Yes, my brother doesn't agree either. If anything happens to you, how are we going to explain it to Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Auntie?"
"I don't agree. I'll do it. It's so dangerous. I just promised grandpa and grandma that I can't let you take risks."
"Miss Gao, we don't agree with you going down either. Leave the dangerous things to us."
"Yes, you just need to tell us what to do!"
"Yes, yes, you take charge and we'll do it."
Gao Zhijun felt warm at heart when she heard the opposition from her brothers and villagers, but they really couldn't do this thing. After all, they didn't know martial arts, and their ability to escape was not as good as hers.
“I receive your kindness.
You don't know martial arts, it's very dangerous to go down there.
Because once the outlet is dug through, the water will surge up like a raging storm. If you are a little slower, you will be submerged."
"So, I'll go down!"
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took the sickle and jumped down.
Every time she stepped on the mud wall, she would use her sickle to dig a footprint so that she could escape later.
Huo Jinqian and others watched her go down nervously, especially the Huo family, who were all worried and clenched their fists tightly, afraid that she would accidentally get into an accident.
Not until she arrived safely did everyone feel relieved and wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
Gao Zhijun arrived below, untied the ropes, and observed the wetness of the surrounding mud walls.
Then he squatted down, picked up a small piece of soil, smelled it, and pinched it. It smelled good and it was moist, and there was a water outlet underneath.
She stepped on the ground until she heard a squeaking sound and knew that was where the water outlet was.
She dug with a sickle, digging hard until a quarter of an hour later, the soil became more and more moist, and a little water seeped into the ground. Gao Zhijun knew that she had dug out the water outlet.
She stood up, tied the rope around her body, and came back to dig hard.
With a "bang", the groundwater spurted out like a fountain, splashing water everywhere.
The underground water surged up and quickly flowed on the soil, reaching Gao Zhijun's ankles.
If you don't escape now, when will you escape?
Gao Zhijun pulled the rope, and with the help of the external force of the rope, she jumped onto the footprints she had just dug and climbed up.
The villagers of Huojia Village above heard a "bang bang" sound and then saw the water rushing up. They were terrified and looked at Gao Zhijun in horror, shouting in panic: "Miss Gao, come up quickly!"
"Sister, come up quickly!"
"Zhijun, the water is coming up, come up quickly."
Huo Jinhao, Huo Jinting, and Huo Jinqing screamed in fear. Huo Jinqian was even more terrified, calling out Gao Zhijun, so frightened that he didn't even know her name.
Of course Gao Zhijun heard the villagers' calls, but she ignored everything and just wanted to go up quickly.
This time the water was so strong that she almost couldn't escape.
Amidst everyone's fear, Gao Zhijun finally made it to safety. However, due to the drought, the groundwater was scarce. After flowing up two-thirds of the way, no more water began to rise.
Even though it was only two-thirds full, the villagers were already very happy. They jumped for joy, dancing and shouting, "There's water! We finally have water to drink!"
"Are you okay?"
Huo Jinqian's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed when he saw Gao Zhijun safely up. He ran over to her and asked with concern.
Huo Jinhao, Huo Jinting, and Huo Jinqing also ran over in panic, anxiously asking, "Is your sister okay? We were so scared. Is she hurt anywhere?"
Seeing the Huo family members trembling because of their worry about her, and listening to their worried questions, her heart felt warm. It is really good to have family members worrying about her.
When I settle down, I will definitely repay them well.
In order to prevent the Huo family from worrying anymore, she smiled and said, "Who am I? How could there be anything wrong with me?"
Don't worry, I'm very capable."
"Second brother knows how powerful you are. Don't do this next time."
Huo Jinhao said angrily that if his mother knew that he failed to protect his sister and put her in danger, she would never let him go.
"Yes, we can't do this next time, otherwise grandpa, grandma, and second aunt won't let us go."
Huo Jinting and Huo Jinbai said accusingly that they couldn't calm down now.
"I understand. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Gao Shijun knew that they were concerned about her, and although their tone of voice was not nice, she did not take it to heart. She took her nephew back from Huo Jinhao and admitted her mistake obediently.
