Chapter 211: Finding Water (5)
If you don't want to wronged yourself, it is logical to put a pot of spiritual spring water in the back basket.
After finding a place to sit down, each of them drank some water, ate some dry food, rested for a while, and continued along the stream.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Ding Zhongping reminded: "Miss, it's getting late, and it's inaccessible here, so you may not be able to find a shack to stay." ”
"Okay, let's see if there's a cave or something, and if we can't find it in a quarter of an hour, we'll figure it out ourselves." After entering the mountain once, Ye Tianqing also knew that the mountains could not be compared with the flat land, so he had to prepare early.
Otherwise, you won't be able to see anything as soon as it's dark, and you'll be half-effective if you want to do something.
"Miss, I didn't find it."
"Miss, I didn't find it either."
The three of them split up, and after a quarter of an hour, they met at a relatively flat hill ahead of them, and they all said that they had not found the cave.
"Then you can only do it yourself, where do you see where to rest?" Ye Tianqing was already ready to spend the night in the open air.
However, if you can, it would be better to have a shelter from the elements.
Although she knew in her heart that it would not rain in a short period of time, the mountains were deep and densely wooded, and the ground was piled up with thick deciduous and rotting grass, and the humidity was very heavy.
"Why don't you go there?" Ding Zhongping chose a mountain wall ten zhang away from them, which can block some mountain winds, and the ground is relatively flat, with about thirty square meters of openness, which can barely be used as a place to spend the night.
Ma Laifu also nodded in agreement. Ye Tianqing has no opinion.
Since it was decided, the three of them went their separate ways again, cutting trees and cutting trees, cutting thatching and thatching, and fetching water, but they were busy in full swing.
By the time the two men barely built a shack out of tree trunks and branches, Ye Tianqing had already cooked a jar of pheasant porridge by the stream and roasted two rabbits.
Originally, she didn't know how to cook, but with the experience of spending the night in the mountains last time, plus the time she spent in the kitchen these days, she deliberately went to the kitchen to learn some time.
With her ability to almost never forget. Just want to learn. It took a lot of time to learn.
Although the taste cannot be compared to that of the chef, at least it can be tasted.
With the dry food they brought, the three of them had a hearty dinner, and Ding Zhongping and Ma Laifu were even more excited.
Because. They were lucky enough to have a dinner made by Miss San.
Of course, the shack is for Ye Tianqing to live in. As for Ding Zhongping and Ma Laifu. Then he made a fire in the clearing, spread some thatch on the ground, and said that he would take turns to keep vigil.
As Miss Yefu. Ye Tianqing felt that it should be so, but in view of the fact that they would be very hard to keep vigil at night, he said: "It's still early, I don't want to sleep yet, you guys should rest first, and wake you up when I want to sleep." ”
"It's okay, then it's hard Third Miss." These days, they also know their young lady's temperament, and know that she is not the kind of delicate lady who will scream when she sees an ant, so they agreed.
Immediately, the two of them lay down on the thatched pile, perhaps they were too tired from the mountain road for a day, and after a while, there was a deafening snoring sound.
One by one, more thrilling than the other, Ye Tianqing frowned again when he heard it.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of their sleep to practice the Qingyu Secret to pass the time, but now I can't.
I could only get into the shack, quickly flash into the space, take a medical book out, and read it on the bonfire.
She brought this book from Lingfeng City, and she hasn't read it since she bought it, but now it's okay, but she can read it casually.
First, you can understand the medicinal properties of some medicinal materials, and second, you can learn more about several herbs by looking at the illustrations in the book.
so as not to be trampled under her feet and not recognize him.
The medical books were all tasteless, but Ye Tianqing read them with relish, and even the earth-shattering snoring was ignored by her.
Several times, sparks from the campfire splashed on her body, and she woke up.
In this way, Ye Tianqing looked at the bonfire and the book at the same time, and the time passed unconsciously.
It wasn't until Malaifu woke up and scratched her head embarrassedly that she got up and went into the shack.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Ye Tianqing got up early.
Although she secretly took out the quilt in the space when she was sleeping, it was not as good as sleeping at home, and in the end she hid in the space to sleep for an hour, which made her still look radiant and radiant.
After a brief meal of dry food, the three of them continued to walk in the direction of the stream.
Every time they saw a small tributary of the stream coming in, they were very excited, but each time they returned to their original place disappointed after tracking it down.
It's just that some of the small tributaries are fed only by the dripping drops of water from the damp rock walls in the cave.
Others are formed by water flowing from small mountain springs.
It's just that the water from those springs is very small, and most of them are between the rock walls, so they can't get more water out for a while.
If these small mountain springs are placed outside, they may be able to supply daily water for several households, but in the deep mountains, when they flow into the stream, they have little meaning.
After all, there is much more water in the stream than these mountain springs, but the stream is still cut off and cannot flow smoothly to Yejiazhuang.
"Miss, there's a mountain spring here." Hearing Ding Zhongping's shout of surprise again, Ye Tianqing hurried over unhurriedly, not particularly excited.
After all, in the past two days, she has heard too many such sounds, and she has discovered several mountain springs herself.
"Huh? There's even a big waterhole here? After Ye Tianqing walked over, he found that there was a waterhole with a size of one acre by the mountain spring, and after the spring water flowed out, it first flowed into the waterhole, and then flowed out from the low-lying place on the side of the waterhole, and flowed into the stream.
The area of the waterhole is not small, at a glance, the surface of the pool is slightly moving, there are mountains and rocks and trees reflected in the water, it looks very beautiful, and then look closely, the bottom of the pool is dark, and you can't see the bottom at a glance.
"I don't know how deep this pool is, but if it's deep enough, the amount of water is very objective." Ding Zhongping said as he wanted to go into the water to check.
"Wait, let me try first." Seeing this, Ma Laifu picked up a fist-sized stone from his feet and threw it into the waterhole with a thud.
However, after the stone was thrown in, even Ye Tianqing didn't hear an echo.
"It seems that this waterhole is very deep, if all this water flows to Yejiazhuang, it should be able to deal with it for some days." Seeing this, Ye Tianqing said excitedly.
"But, Miss, we can't let them flow to the village automatically, not to mention that the pool can't get out, even if it can flow out, the riverbed has been cut off in many places." Ding Zhongping shook his head and reminded when he heard this.
