Chapter 202: Be low-key!
The first stop for the group was Uncle Li Zheng's house. When Uncle Li Zheng learned the purpose of their visit, he immediately sent his son Tang Dajiang to bring a few militiamen to go into the mountains with Xiao Yuanbao and the others to look for spring water.
With the healthy adults around, it’s easy to go into the mountains.
Tang Dajiang held little Yuanbao on his head to prevent her beautiful new clothes from being torn by the branches.
The militiamen in front were responsible for clearing the way. Wherever Little White Hair went, they would follow.
When the little white-haired boy entered the mountains, he began to sniff around.
Soon we found our target and ran all the way into the mountains.
They found several springs at once, all of which were very hidden. The militiamen of Tangjia Village were very surprised, because they had been to the mountains many times, but they had never found these springs.
"Your little white-haired cat is quite amazing! He can always find the right mountain spring water..."
Sanbao really wants to say that the little white dog is a treasure-hunting dog. No matter what the treasure is, it can find it for you.
However, Dabao and Erbao have told us that we should be low-key in life!
You can't tell everything outside.
The beggar boy held a piece of grass in his mouth and smiled with his beautiful white teeth, "Apart from my sister Yuanbao, the one I admire most is Little White Hair. Little White Hair is very human, powerful and capable..."
Suddenly, the little white-haired boy's tail and beard flew up to the sky.
Xiao Yuanbao had some dried meat in his pocket. "Come on, Little White Hair, you did a good job. I'll give you a piece of dried meat as a reward. Keep looking!"
The little white-haired boy ate it all up in one gulp.
"Woof!" got the order.
We have found three springs so far. The water flows are not very strong and can be used for emergency purposes. However, it is still not enough for the whole village to eat and drink.
With such a water shortage right now, more water is definitely better.
The group walked deeper into the mountains.
Little White Hair lived up to everyone's expectations and searched two more places.
At one of the places, there is a large spring and a bottomless pool, but the area is not large, with a diameter of about one or two meters.
The spring is at the bottom of the pool.
This is better!
You don't have to queue up to get water. You can just use a bucket to scoop water from the pond and go out.
At another place, there is a small waterfall with a pool underneath. It seems that the water flow is also sufficient.
These two places are large water sources, which made Tang Dajiang and his friends very happy.
"That's good. Drinking water is no longer a problem for our village. You stay here and I'll go back and ask people to come up and fence off this place and mark our Tangjia Village, so that people from other villages won't find it and come to steal it. We won't look for it today."
We can also look deeper into the mountains, we should definitely be able to find it.
But it's too far!
It would be too tiring to spend a whole day going back and forth to fetch water.
The water they have found now is enough for all the people in Tangjia Village to drink. If they run out of water, they can always ask Little White Hair to help find water.
So, I'll take a rest today.
Tang Dajiang thanked Xiao Yuanbao and Xiao Baimao and sent them down the mountain.
Their adults went to take care of the spring.
Several children were walking home with their dog.
Sanbao asked the beggar boy, "Where did you go today? You are covered in mud..."
The beggar boy said, "Isn't the river almost dry? I went to watch people catch fish and shrimps, and I caught some too, to give to auntie in the evening, as a snack for us..."
Sanbao looked at the sky and saw that it was still early.
"Sister, let's go catch some too!"
Little Yuanbao was a playful person who liked to see the fun, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! Let's go! Let's go fishing!"
The beggar boy said, "Come on, I'll take you there. The fish in other places are almost all gone. There's only a pond near the bridge. I don't think anyone is fishing there. Let's go there. There must be fish."
"By the side of the bridge?" Sanbao was a little confused.
"Yes! It's the big stone bridge on the river in front of your house, the one that connects to Wangjia Village..."
Sanbao said, "I know why no one goes there. There used to be ghosts there. Wang Tiangou drowned there before. My sister also said that it is very evil and full of yin energy."
"Ah! So that's how it is! I said there was a big puddle there, there must be fish, why doesn't anyone go there?" The beggar boy suddenly realized.
Little Yuanbao touched his bald head, "I've always been curious about what's in there. Now that there's no water, it's a good time to go take a look. There must be something in there, maybe some good treasure. Come on, little white hair, let's go take a look."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said it, the little white-haired boy took two steps back.
"Huh? Little White Hair doesn't want to go over? Is there really something there?" Sanbao.
"It's definitely not a baby. If it were a baby, the little white-haired boy wouldn't react like this. It makes me a little curious!" The beggar boy said.
Little Yuanbao was the first to walk forward, "Hey, baby is curious too, Little White Hair won't go, so let's go."
"Walk."
The little white-haired boy followed reluctantly with a wronged look on his face.
Arrived on the bridge.
Looking at the river from a distance, it becomes a small stream.
This river is called Baili River. It circles around Baili Town and finally merges into the big river outside. Normally, the river is about 10 to 20 meters wide in some places. When the river is full, the waves are turbulent and you can row a boat. There are also rapids and reefs at the bottom of the river.
Now it is almost dry, with only a small trickle still flowing. In a few days, this trickle will probably disappear.
The entire riverbed was exposed.
Because the riverbed was uneven, water pooled in some places.
The children played in the water holes, catching fish and shrimps.
The water hole under the bridge is the largest and deepest.
The beggar boy took a long branch and poked it into the water hole. A branch several meters long almost submerged the water.
"Wow, it's really deep here! No wonder no one comes to fish."
Sanbao was also surprised, "How can there be such a deep puddle? It's really strange. If the puddle is so deep, if the fish hides at the bottom, we can't catch it!"
Little Yuanbao rummaged around with his hands and said, "It seems there are no fish in here either."
"Indeed, there are small fish and shrimps splashing around in the small water holes elsewhere, but here there is no movement at all. The water elsewhere is also very clear, but the water here is also turbid. You can't see what's inside at all..." The beggar boy studied it carefully.
Sanbao was not giving up. "Sister, can I go home and get a long net and put it in to catch some fish?"
As he was speaking, he saw the little white-haired boy jump down with a whoosh.
"Hey, brother, why are you so depressed that you jump into the river and commit suicide!" The beggar boy reached out to grab its tail.
Didn't catch it.
Little White Hair dived into the water.
Sanbao saw something seemed to be fighting under the water, and the water surface was rippling with waves.
"What's going on, sister?"
"Little White Hair said he would go down to catch fish for us..." Little Yuanbao replied, "But it looks like it was hit by something down there! It's calling for help!"
When the beggar boy heard this, he reacted quickly. He quickly poked the branch that had found the depth of the water hole into the water.
"Come up, little white hair! I'll help you! Get rid of those underwater things!"
