They walked for almost two hours, visiting several places that Aygul and the university students thought had a chance of yielding water.
Du Jianshan sensed each one in turn, pretending to explore, then shook his head: "No, it doesn't feel right, too shallow."
This made the college students a little discouraged.
Finally, the group reached the edge of a relatively low-lying but seemingly unremarkable hard alkaline crust.
Aygul pointed to several clumps of camel thorn that were growing exceptionally lushly with thick leaves: "The soil here seems to be a bit more moist than in other places!"
A bespectacled former educated youth squatted down and pinched a clod of earth: "Hmm, it's a bit damp under the alkali crust, and the shape of this depression looks like it's flowing into a river..."
Du Jianshan strolled over slowly, and as soon as he stopped, his mind sank into the space.
A faint but continuous pulsation of water could be clearly felt!
It's clearer and more stable than the previous few points!
Found it!
"Right here!" Du Jianshan's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand decisively, pointing to the ground: "Dig! Start digging down from here!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Ma Jinbao's anger flared up immediately.
He was exhausted, like a dead dog, and finally managed to stop to rest.
As a result, Du Jianshan just stood there and pretended to look at it for a moment, then let them dig?
What the hell are you talking about?!
They're deliberately making things difficult for people!
He threw the rope off his shoulder to the ground and started cursing, pointing at Du Jianshan's nose:
"Du Jianshan! You're just messing with us, aren't you?"
"You've been circling around from morning till noon without uttering a single word! You've arrived at this godforsaken place, barely even gotten a foothold, and you can tell there's water down there with just one glance? Are you kidding me?"
"I think you're deliberately making things difficult for us! Making us carry all that stuff for nothing! And now you're making us waste our energy on this alkaline ground that's as hard as iron! What are you up to!"
Du Jianshan's eyes turned cold instantly, before he could even speak.
"Smack!"
A crisp, loud slap!
Wang Tieniu rushed forward, swung his arm, and slapped Ma Jinbao hard across the face!
The force was so great that it made Ma Jinbao stagger, and five bright red finger marks instantly appeared on his face!
"Ma Jinbao! You fucking ungrateful bastard, don't you think you're so ungrateful?"
Wang Tieniu pointed at his nose, spitting almost onto his face, and his voice was so loud it made people's ears ring.
"You're complaining just because I asked you to carry something! Brother Du says to dig, so we dig! Who are you to talk nonsense?"
"If you dare to spout nonsense again and interfere with Brother Du's water-finding, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents! I'll show you why flowers are so red!"
"You...you dare to hit me?" Ma Jinbao covered his face, both shocked and furious, his eyes red, and he was about to pounce on him.
"So what if I hit you?" Wang Tieniu retorted defiantly, his neck stiff.
"Don't want to work? Fine! Get the hell out of here now! Go back to planting your trees!"
"I'll skin you alive, company commander! Eight hundred trees! Not a single one missing! I'd like to see you plant them for ages!"
"You...you all!" Ma Jinbao trembled with anger, a huge wave of resentment and fear washing over him.
Does he dare to leave?
He dares not!
Those eight hundred trees in the windbreak forest were like a guillotine hanging over his head!
Damn it!
