Chapter 113 The search for water is showing signs of progress.



To verify this, Rosie controlled herself, constantly extending outwards—that's right, groundwater.

She knew that Tongning County had abundant groundwater, but the ancient exploration techniques couldn't really help much.

But if she awakens her spiritual power, then...

Luo Xi quickly turned around and burrowed into the soil. It was actually quite easy, though a bit strenuous, but still within her tolerance.

At that moment, she sensed that a certain area was relatively damp. Rose was overjoyed and rushed over at full speed. It really was... groundwater!

She quickly followed the underground water and found a place without large, hard rocks, and scrambled up. Luckily, it was on the path outside her yard.

After memorizing the location, Rosie opened her eyes with a start.

"Very good!"

She yanked off the blanket, quickly put on her shoes, and rushed out, startling Liu Xiaoyu who was still standing guard nearby.

"Master, what, what's wrong?"

"Don't worry about me, go do your thing." Luo Xi took three steps at a time and ran out without looking back.

Seeing her master acting so strangely, how could Liu Xiaoyu possibly ignore it? Without even thinking, she followed him out.

I followed her all the way to the outside of the courtyard before I saw her stop and look around.

"Master, what's wrong here?" she asked, puzzled.

It's just an ordinary road, what's so interesting about it?

Luo Xi didn't answer her, and used her newly awakened mental power to carefully check again. And sure enough, it was exactly the same as what she had just 'seen'.

Her actions naturally alerted the patrolling guards, who quickly came over and asked, "Boss, what happened?"

With a smile in his eyes, Luo Xi pointed to the spot they had just inspected and said, "Go get the tools. Start digging from here!"

Now, the water problem should be solved!

Guard: "..."

“Boss, this is outside your yard. If you dig it up, it will be impossible to see.”

Although the head of the gang may not necessarily live here anymore, it's not right for him to still live here now. What kind of mess is this, with all these pits and holes?

Luo Xi glared at him: "I told you to dig, so dig. Why are you making so many excuses?"

If she dared to say she saw water down there, these people would definitely think she's out of her mind.

So, let's start digging.

The guards had no choice but to lead their men to carry out the task immediately.

The boss must have been obsessed with finding water lately to pull something like this in the middle of the night.

In that instant, Rosie seemed to grow even taller in the eyes of the guards.

The bright lights and noise here naturally woke up Sijia, who was staying at the mountain villa.

"Has something happened?" he asked Si Mo, who was standing next to him.

Si Mo had just gotten up and naturally didn't know: "My lord, please wait a moment, I'll go and check the situation."

"No need, let's go together." Si Jia walked quickly ahead.

When they arrived, Yin Li, Xiao Yi, and Wei Qing were all there, standing beside Luo Xi, asking her with puzzled expressions what she was doing.

Luo Xi didn't explain, but just smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough?"

The place she found is very shallow; she should get results soon.

Si Jia, being experienced and knowledgeable, immediately saw through what the guards were doing: "Chief, are you having them... dig a well?"

"Good eye." Rosie nodded.

Everyone: "..."

This is on the path outside the courtyard wall.

Yin Li thought for a moment, then advised, "Chief, we know you're very worried about the water source drying up, but..."

He carefully considered his words: "Drilling a well requires experienced well diggers to survey and re-survey the area, confirming the location before starting, only then is there a chance of finding water. Otherwise..."

“Yes, Boss,” Xiao Yi said, “If you just dig anywhere like this, you’re probably just wasting your time.”

“Yes, Master.” Although Liu Xiaoyu always agreed with whatever Luo Xi said, this time she also felt it was not feasible.

"The soil along this path by your wall is so dry it's cracked; there's definitely no water underneath. Let's go back to sleep and think of something tomorrow, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the guards all stopped what they were doing and looked over expectantly: "Boss, shall we continue digging?"

Loxi's expression was resolute: "Dig!"

They acted like, "You can say whatever you want, I'll just do what I need to do."

The group looked at each other.

How could they not know that the leader had this side to him?

Well, it's just a bit of work anyway, so they stopped trying to persuade him and instead stayed by Luo Xi's side, watching the guards dig.

Yin Li even went over to instruct them on how to dig faster and better.

Immediately, things started bustling around here, and it really looked like a proper business.

The next day at dawn, the well-drilling teams from the neighborhood heard about it and excitedly came to offer their help.

It seems the chief's search for water is finally showing promise, that's great!

Before long, the surrounding people all knew about it.

"What? The chief knows where the water is? If we dig a well, we'll have water to drink?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's all go help! The boss is still working late into the night, how can we just sit back and reap the benefits?"

"Yes, yes, everyone go help! Big brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, big brother, second brother, third brother, grab your tools and go dig a well!"

Suddenly, young men carrying various tools lined up along the paths, forming long queues. To the uninitiated, it looked like they were going to war.

The guards at the entrance of Chaoyang Manor were so frightened by the sight that they stammered, "Brother, look! Is it...is it that bastard surnamed Zhu who attacked again? Why are there so many people?"

"Where? Let me see." Another person quickly craned their neck to look: "My God, there are really a lot of people coming this way! We weren't prepared at all, what are we going to do?"

"Quickly, close the gate right now, I'm going to report to the chief."

“Wait, something’s not right,” the guard said. “They seem to be local people, and they’re carrying tools like hoes, not weapons.”

"It really is! Thank goodness, that scared the hell out of me. Ouch... The boss is digging a well right now. Do you think they... might be planning to come and help?"

"That's quite possible." The guard breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't attacking their manor, he was relieved; he was terrified.

Although they may not necessarily lose the war, there will always be people who are injured or killed.

Finally, those people arrived at the entrance of the villa.

"Brother, we heard that the chief is going to dig a well, so we've brought some strong men to help. Could you please let him know?"

Everyone stood properly at the door, and only one representative was sent forward to speak.

The two guards looked at each other, dumbfounded: they really had come to help dig a well.

“But the chief only needs to dig one well, why does he need so many people?” one of the guards whispered.

"Should we send them back?"

“That won’t do.” Another guard shook his head. “I’ll go in and ask. This matter needs to be decided by the chief.”

"Okay, then hurry back."
