Chapter 210: Finding a Source of Water (4)
"Okay, it's not early, I'll go out." Ye Tianqing thought that Purple Butterfly and Huang Li should be coming, so she would no longer fart with Fu'er.
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Tianqing came out, he heard the sound of a purple butterfly screaming softly outside the door.
After saying yes, the two of them came in with water and lanterns.
Seeing that she was already dressed and waiting, she immediately confessed, and one served her to wash her face and teeth, while the other went to pass breakfast.
Breakfast was eaten with Mother Ye, and knowing that her daughter was going into the mountain today, Mother Ye also got up early.
After eating breakfast together, Mother Ye insisted on sending her out of the door, and said that she would watch her enter the mountain.
Ye Tianqing saw that she couldn't persuade her, and she also knew that her mother was worried about her, so she personally helped her out of the main courtyard together.
Fortunately, when they went out, Peng Changfeng and Lin Hongan, the two escort captains, were already waiting outside the courtyard with Ma Laifu and Ding Zhongping.
This time she went into the mountain to find a water source, in fact, at the beginning, whether it was Ye Mu or the guards, they did not approve of her entering the mountain in person.
If you really want to enter the mountain, you only need to send a few guards into the mountain.
But after Ye Tianqing threw all the guards to the ground, everyone stopped.
However, they all fought to go with her.
Ye Tianqing didn't want to have contact with more men, so she still chose Ma Laifu and Ding Zhongping.
Originally, according to Ye Mu's intentions, she must have asked one of the escort captains to accompany her, but Ye Tianqing did not agree.
It's just because, in this Yejiazhuang, in addition to the four maids around them, the two guard captains are the most trusted. Leaving her mother to them, she was relieved.
Ye Mu sent her to the foot of the mountain according to her words, and then she stood up and watched her and the two guards enter the mountain with a worried face.
In fact, the stream that meandered through the front of Yejiazhuang bypassed two hills in the Daqing Mountains northwest of Yejiazhuang and turned around to the south of Yejiazhuang.
The last time Ye Tianqing and the three of them entered the mountain, they walked in the southwest direction of Daqing Mountain, and this time they walked along the stream in two different directions.
This time, the goal is clear, Ma Laifu and Ding Zhongping have good martial arts, and they have light skills, and the speed of the three of them should not be underestimated.
"Not good. Miss. There is no water left in front. The three of them advanced at full speed, and in the afternoon, Ding Zhongping, who was walking in front, suddenly let out an exclamation.
"How so?" Ye Tianqing and Ma Laifu heard this and immediately rushed to his side.
Take a look. Both were dumbfounded.
As Ding Zhongping said. The creek has come to an end.
upstream of it. Except for the whitened gravel blocks, there was no more water running down*.
"What's going on, doesn't it mean that someone walked for three days and three nights without seeing the source of this stream?" Ye Tianqing was irritable. The tone is inevitably a little bad.
"Miss Hui, the villagers did say so, but they also said that it was a rumor, and no one personally confirmed it. Maybe it's just a stream that collects rainwater from the mountains. Malayshua replied.
He didn't want this to happen, after all, so many people in Yejiazhuang were still waiting for their good news.
If this is really the source of the creek, how will the rest of the days be lived?
"Actually, Miss San, the villagers' statements may not be wrong." Ding Zhongping has a different view.
"Third Miss, although we have only been on the road for most of the day, there are so many roads, for ordinary villagers, it may not be possible to walk it in three days."
"Well, it does." Looking back at the road, Ye Tianqing sighed before saying evilly.
To say, coming out of Yejiazhuang and walking along the stream, there is actually no ready-made road on both sides.
In some places, there are cliffs on both sides, which makes it difficult to walk, and ordinary people will have to go around a few hills to get back to the stream.
But for Ye Tianqing and the three of them, there was no need to be so troublesome, and they directly used ropes, eagle claws made of fine iron, mountain shrubs, etc., to transport light skills, and help each other to get over.
This saves a lot of time, which is not possible for ordinary people.
"Miss, perhaps, we should go up again." Just when Ye Tianqing was disheartened and thinking about whether to go back here, Ma Laifu, who had already walked up for a while, called out loudly.
"Horse guard, did you make any discoveries?" As soon as Ye Tianqing heard his tone, he immediately picked up the Qingyu secret and rushed over, asking eagerly.
"Miss, you see, these sand and gravels are very clean and smooth, and you can see that these big stones also have traces of being washed, and if it weren't for the riverbed, there would be some plants." Ma Laifu said, pointing to the ground.
"Are you trying to say, actually, this was once a riverbed?" Ye Tianqing, who had read a lot of books on local travelogues, mountains and rivers, immediately lit up when he heard it, and asked in surprise.
"It's just some of my guesses, but I'm not sure." Ma Laifu said with a hearty smile.
"Since there is such a conjecture, then what are we waiting for, let's go and see it immediately." Ye Tianqing didn't want to waste time here.
If you have this idea, why don't you go and see it for yourself?
The master spoke, and of course the two guards had no objections, and immediately rushed forward with light skills.
Whether or not the valley was once a riverbed, the road was easier than any stretch of road ever walked.
With no boulders in the way, no bushes and weeds to stumble, the three of them quickly ran a long way.
Eager to know the answer, Ye Tianqing rushed to the front first.
When the faintly shimmering water appeared in front of her under the illumination of the sun, Ye Tianqing couldn't help but shout happily: "Great, there is really water!" ”
After thinking about it up and down, I guessed that the reason why there was no water in the middle section was only because the riverbed was relatively high, and after the water level dropped, the creek also broke off
"There really is water! Now there is hope. Ma Laifu and Ding Zhongping, who arrived later, also laughed as they spoke.
If it weren't for their own lady by their side, they would all want to rush into the water to wash themselves freely, after all, after so many roads, they came out with stinky sweat, all of which stuck to their bodies, and they were very uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's rest first, and we'll set off later." Although the water level here was still very low, as if it was going to dry up at any time, Ye Tianqing still commanded excitedly.
"Okay, miss, would you like to boil some hot water?" Ding Zhongping asked thoughtfully.
"I brought cold boiled water, so I don't have to boil it now." Of course, Ye Tianqing naturally brought spiritual spring water, not cold boiled water as she said.
Although she will suffer when she goes out, she doesn't want to suffer herself as long as the conditions allow.
