At this time, two subordinates entered Li Xiuwen's room to help Li Xiuwen clean up, and took a bath with a bucket of water.

Li Xiuwen arrived at Fu Wenrui's Commander's Mansion in the afternoon, and when he slept this night, he slept until the next morning!

"Ahh Why did I fall asleep? After Li Xiuwen woke up the next morning, he quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed. I quickly got dressed and went out of the room.

There was a subordinate who was cleaning the yard, and after seeing Li Xiuwen get up, he hurriedly walked to Li Xiuwen's side and saluted Li Xiuwen.

"Li Gongzi, you woke up, our commander has dinner, let me see you wake up, let you go to the front hall to find him!"

"Oh, I see, I wonder if you can show me the way?"

The little guy smiled, revealing a whole row of teeth: "Of course, the minion's name is Xingzhu, and he will take you to meet our commander." ”

Li Xiuwen followed behind Xingzhu and saw Fu Wenrui again. Li Xiuwen looked at Fu Wenrui's dark eyes and eating some relatively ordinary meals.

Presumably, because of the drought in the entire Zhangwu Prefecture, he also can't eat and sleep, and he can't sleep at night!

"Big brother, you're early!"

Li Xiuwen has respect for the eldest brother Fu Wenrui, and he is always polite when he speaks!

"Hmmm! How did you sleep last night? Come over and eat! Come on, bring me the food I prepared for Li Gongzi! ”

After Fu Wenrui saw Li Xiuwen coming, he shouted towards the back of the dining room.

"You don't have to prepare anything, I think your meals are good, I can eat anything." Li Xiuwen felt very embarrassed to ask Fu Wenrui to help him prepare another meal!

"How can you comfort your tired body for days? I eat these dishes mainly because of sores on my mouth and tongue, and I can't eat anything else. You're welcome, just sit down! ”

Fu Wenrui also specially helped Li Xiuwen pull out a stool next to the dining table.

At this time, the servants also happened to bring Fu Wenrui and arranged for them to cook the meal for Li Xiuwen.

Li Xiuwen saw that the meal that Fu Wenrui helped him prepare was much better than the one on his own table: "Since the eldest brother has prepared it, then I will work hard to finish it, and then hurry up to do what I need to do!" ”

Li Xiuwen was chewing on the food in a big gulp, and seeing that Fu Wenrui had difficulty swallowing the food because of the sores on his mouth and tongue, he was even more determined to find a water source as soon as possible!

Li Xiuwen said that he would do it, and after breakfast, he and Fu Wenrui embarked on a trip to find a water source.

At the same time that he and Fu Wenrui went out, he also asked Fu Wenrui to send someone to find a place to find a water source such as the one written by Fu Wenjing, and find someone to distribute and print. Then he added some methods that Fu Wenjing missed.

So that more people can go out and see that Zhangwu Prefecture is a place that meets the water source standards.

In one day, in the fields of Zhangwuzhou, as well as on the lofty mountains and river beaches, there were officers and soldiers looking for water sources everywhere.

They took the detailed description that Fu Wenjing had already attached, and wandered around the places that might be water sources.

When they felt that the similarity was eight or nine points, they recorded the name and location of the place, and then waited for Li Xiuwen's final decision.

Not long after Li Xiuwen and Fu Wenrui set off, they found a place that met the necessary conditions for two water sources.

It is "two mountains that meet, and there is a spring flowing under them." "There are many pebbles on the floodplains, and the underground springs flow from the undercurrents." place.

It is a place not far from the Commander's Mansion, because of the topography of Zhangwu Prefecture, so the place where the Commander's Mansion was built is also close to the mountains. Therefore, not long after Li Xiuwen and Fu Wenrui came out, they saw two more mountains connected, as well as a floodplain, and a magical place with a lot of pebbles!

After Li Xiuwen saw it, he quickly jumped off the horse, stood at the place where the two mountains docked and looked down: "There is such a good underground water source here!" Why didn't the eldest brother find out? ”

"Is it true that you say there's a water source down there? I've lived here for seven or eight years and the river has always been dry and I've never seen water? And people who have lived on the side for a long time have never seen water flowing on this river! ”

It's not that Fu Wenrui doesn't believe Li Xiuwen, he just feels that there is water under this small river that has been dry for I don't know how many years, and he feels a little outrageous.

"In a place like this, where there is a water source, the average layman really can't see it. Looking at the trees growing on that hill, I can guarantee that there is a very large dark river down there, and even the wells we dug are artesian! ”

After Li Xiuwen finished speaking, he was very excited and ran to a very green, tall and thick tree on the top of the mountain!

After listening to Li Xiuwen's words, Fu Wenrui was a little dazed. He was a layman and didn't quite understand what Li Xiuwen said.

In order to understand what Li Xiuwen meant, he followed Li Xiuwen to the mountain, and asked curiously: "Xiuwen, what is an artesian well?" How can you be sure that there is water underneath that tree? ”

Li Xiuwen came to the bottom of the tree until he pointed to the root of the tree and said to Fu Wenrui: "The root system of trees has the ability to find water sources on their own, and although other trees are also green, they are far less vigorous than this tree's green. It must be because he absorbs enough water to grow differently from other trees! ”

After hearing Li Xiuwen's words, Fu Wenrui asked in surprise: "If I don't understand it wrong, that is to say, under this tree, is there a water source?" ”

Li Xiuwen nodded firmly, with excitement on his face: "It can be understood in this way, and if this is really an artesian well, we can drill the well from here, then the water will flow from the underground water source from this mountain to the river below, and eventually the flowing water will also follow the river beach to the place where the water can reach!" ”

"God help me! God help me! ”

Fu Wenrui shouted excitedly!

"My lord, have you found a water source?"

The group of soldiers who came out with them to explore the water source at the bottom of the mountain asked anxiously after hearing Fu Wenrui's shout.

Fu Wenrui glanced at Li Xiuwen excitedly, and then shouted loudly with his hands down the mountain: "That's right, we did find a water source, you guys hurry up and bring all the tools up." Now we're going to start drilling! ”

After the officers and soldiers under the mountain heard Fu Wenrui's words, they were very helpless and picked up those ancient cumbersome drilling tools and walked up the mountain!

Speaking of the suspicion of the officers and men, there are actually some reasons. Mainly because since the drought this year, Fu Wenrui has also taken some measures, he took officers and soldiers everywhere to find water, but because of the lack of technical personnel to find water sources, they drilled many places in order to make a lot of efforts, but not a single well was drilled!

This time, Fu Wenrui asked them to carry the drilling tools to the mountain, although Li Xiuwen, a "talent looking for water sources," came. "But because they have worked hard in vain before, they have not been able to drill out of the water source, and they also have deep doubts in their hearts!
