"Yes! We will soon reach Liangzhou."
Gao Zhijun said.
"Girl, even if there is a water source below, how can we accurately find the source of water in such a large area? We can't dig everywhere."
The village head was happy for a while, but he still didn't forget the purpose of everyone gathering here for the meeting.
The young people from Huojia Village also looked at Gao Zhijun, wanting to hear her thoughts.
"Actually, I have the oldest and most troublesome method of finding water. It's a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive."
Gao Zhijun spoke briefly.
"What method?"
The Huo family, the head of the village, and the young people in the village all looked at Gao Zhijun, waiting for her to come up with a solution.
Looking at so many eyes, Gao Zhijun felt embarrassed for the first time. She cleared her throat and said, "Just dig a hole, put the mugwort in, light it, and block the hole to prevent the smoke from escaping. As the mugwort burns, if there's a water source below, mugwort smoke will rise above. We can dig in the direction we follow and find water."
Gao Zhijun simply explained her method, and the village head and others were as magical as if they were listening to a divine book. This way they could find the water source, it was that simple.
This method is certainly feasible, Gao Zhijun used it frequently in her previous life.
They often have to go on missions, and have to go to deep mountains and deserts. They simply cannot bring much water, so their training programs include how to survive and save themselves in deep mountains, deserts and other places.
"Girl, is this really possible?"
The village head was the first person to raise questions.
"Uncle Lizheng, is it feasible? I'll take them there to try it out later.
Since the place is so vast, it might take several days to find the water outlet. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Gao Zhijun was sure about this method, and she was also sure that there was a water outlet here. After all, the weeds here were too lush.
Without a second thought, the villagers all said, "We do!"
"Okay, after drinking the summer heat tea, let's get started."
Seeing that everyone was willing to give it a try, Gao Zhijun changed her opinion of the villagers.
They are not arrogant or pedantic, and are able to listen, which shows that their values are pretty good.
If the villagers are unwilling to stay, she will also persuade the Huo family to stay and find water.
Without water, continuing on the journey will only hasten death.
Huo Jinxiu, Zhong, and Yang also prepared herbal tea, and the village head took the young people to drink it.
Gao Zhijun went to look for mugwort and observed the growth of weeds.
Generally, the exit should be at the bottom of places where the plants grow particularly lush and green.
"Sister, what are you looking for? I'll accompany you!"
When Huo Jinqian saw Gao Zhijun leaving, he hurried over to speak.
"No, I'll look for some mugwort. I should be able to find it here."
Gao Zhijun refused without thinking.
Her heart told her that this man was dangerous and asked her to stay away from him, especially when they were alone.
Although she didn't understand why, since it was her inner desire, she naturally did it.
Seeing her refusal, he knew that she didn't want to be with him. This was a good opportunity and he didn't want to give it up.
Since she already has someone she likes, he won't break it up or destroy it. He wants to be by her side and protect her until she finds her fiancé: "Sister? One more person means more safety. I can protect you when you're in danger."
Gao Zhijun looked at him as if he were an idiot: Are you sure you can protect me, not me protecting you.
"No, I have martial arts skills, so I won't be in danger."
Gao Zhijun thought about it and politely refused.
She felt that in just a few days, she had used the most expressions in her two lives, and she even used them in a tactful way, which was really amazing.
In her previous life, she was very frugal with words and was very straightforward.
Seeing that she still refused, Huo Jinqian was disappointed, but he did not give up: "Although you can protect yourself, one person cannot fight four punches, and a pair of eyes cannot see things.
I'll follow you and help you look around, and you can do your own thing without worrying about it."
Seeing that Huo Jinqian was unwilling to give up, Gao Zhijun had no choice but to agree. She felt that he was right. Letting him watch over the surroundings allowed her to do her own thing without worrying about danger. "Okay, then you can follow me."
Gao Zhijun walked forward carrying a backpack and a small hoe.
Huo Jinqian also followed behind, carrying a backpack and holding a small hoe.
Gao Zhijun walked towards the lush weeds. Fearing that there were snakes hiding in the weeds, she gave Huo Jinqian a sachet containing snake-repellent herbs.
She asked Lu to make this sachet to drive away snakes, insects and wild beasts.
She also hung a sachet for herself and walked forward.
She didn't know that in ancient times, people regarded sachets as tokens of love from girls to their loved ones.
Huo Jinqian held the sachet tightly and looked at her with a dark look in his eyes: What does this mean? Doesn’t she have a fiancé?
If Gao Zhijun knew that I gave him the sachet to drive away snakes and insects and caused him to misunderstand, he would definitely die.
She was right. There was mugwort and many other herbs here.
Gao Zhijun taught Huo Jinqian how to dig herbs, and she was digging mugwort.
Mugwort is a good thing. It can warm the meridians and stop bleeding, dispel cold and relieve pain, reduce dampness and kill insects. It is suitable for bleeding and abdominal pain caused by deficiency and cold, and has a therapeutic effect on irregular menstruation, abdominal pain, and metrorrhagia caused by deficiency and cold in women.
There was a lot of mugwort here. Gao Zhijun dug a basket full of it before taking Huo Jinqian back.
The village head and others drank some summer-heat-relief tea and waited for Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to come back.
Putting down the mugwort, she asked Huo Jinxiu to spread it out. She took the head of the village and others to the place she had just observed, and asked the young man to dig a deep pit. She put the mugwort into the pit, lit it, and asked someone to block the pit, waiting for the smoke from the mugwort to rise.
A quarter of an hour later, Gao Zhijun led everyone to observe the situation within 200 meters around the pit.
