Chapter 211
On the erection day, Shen Xinran took four uncles and Qin Wei Fengchi and Li Zhutou as the guards, a total of nine people to explore the undeveloped deep mountains.
All morning, several people were struggling to walk into the depths. Stop and go, fortunately, it is walking in the tall trees, otherwise it will be cool if you are directly exposed to the sun. Even with the foliage, the heat of the scorching sun through the gaps in the leaves was enough for them to bear. Fortunately, they were well prepared, otherwise they would have died of thirst.
"Miss, thirsty for water." Seeing that Shen Xinran's face was flushed and his lips were chapped, the wind chime hurriedly handed over the water wrap.
Shen Xinran was also thirsty, so she swallowed her head violently, she urgently needed to replenish the water in her body now, like a sponge absorbing water, until she was full, she didn't feel alive.
"Xiao Ran, shuttling like this, can there really be water in this deep mountain and wild forest?" Wu Yuan was not sure in his heart, if there was that tree, how could it dry up. Along the way, several trees were dry.
Wu Yuan said what everyone thought. This kind of day sweats on my back, and my clothes have never dried.
"I don't know, but it's up to people, not in the sky." Shen Xinran said tenacity. No affirmation and no denial.
"yes, it's only been a morning, how can you go back." Man Heng encouraged and said, "As long as there is perseverance, the mountains have flowing water, otherwise how can these tens of millions of trees live." ”
"My lord has commanded, and we all listen to Miss Shen." Li Zhutou responded. Cheer each other on.
Unfortunately, I didn't find the best location for three days in a row. Everyone is still a little sad in their hearts. They were not well prepared on the first day, and went back in the evening, and on the second day, Shen Xinran asked people to prepare dry food and water for four days and three nights to enter the mountain again.
The sooner we find water, the more people we can save.
Even Shen Xinran's heart was unstable, the whole person was irritable, uncomfortable, and had to maintain a superficial calm. I'm tired, I'm annoyed, I want to give up, I don't care if they live or die. In my heart, the two villains are arguing endlessly, ready to move.
"We are heading north, surrounded by mountains, and from afar there are still a little green trees." Shen Xinran held back the agitation in his heart and took the lead.
"Try to find a tree with dense shade and a lot of rotten leaves at the roots."
"Miss, be careful of the rugged mountain roads."
"It's okay, they're all children who grew up in the mountains." Regardless of her previous life or this life, the place where she grew up was built around the mountains, and she really grew up in the mountains.
"Ouch." Man Yong was knocked down by a man. The thorns cut through his face, but there was no injury in the place. But everyone was taken aback by him.
"How old are you, don't pay attention to it." Man Heng didn't have the anger to tease his younger brother, but he kept helping him cut off the thorns.
"Brother, be careful, your brother is still under it, and I am always the one who is injured." Man Yong was also in the mood to refute.
And the people were accustomed to his temperament, and all the people who came nearby came to help him cut off the thorns. Others moved on.
"Uncle Yong is not hurt?" Shen Xinran also came over to ask.
"It's okay, it's all leaves, help me pad it, but this thorn is really tenacious, and it grows so green." Man never said it disapprehantly.
Shen Xinran was stunned, he didn't say anything strange. The heart is happy, the hand is faster than the brain, the hand pulls out the thick dead leaves, and the bottom is rotten leaves, no wonder the depression in the heart has subsided when I first arrived here, because the humidity here is heavier than in other places.
"Come here, everybody, dig here." The surface of the ground was still wet when the rotting leaves were pulled, and everyone was overjoyed, and there was a premonition of hope.
"Xiao Ran, you go to the side and sit down first, and let your uncle come." Wu Qiang also felt that hope was in sight at first glance, so he hurriedly let his eldest niece rest, and the next thing was heavy work, which was not suitable for her.
Shen Xinran also left the point automatically, not in the way. Give up the spot. Watch from the sidelines.
Seeing that they were full of energy in an instant, she only prayed not to rejoice in the air, everyone's morale was low before, but she was afraid of affecting her so she strengthened her spirit and ventured forward with her in this deep mountain and dense forest.
Several people were full of energy, and they dug about two meters in less than an hour with their arms raised, but there was still no water. It is like a stream of hot blood rushing to the face, and it is cold to the heart.
Shen Xinran was also uneasy in her heart, could it be in vain and time-wasting. But the trees were growing so well, and the humidity in the air told her that it should be fine. But there is no water.
"Miss, take your time, don't rush." Seeing Shen Xinran's guilty look, Qin Yan couldn't bear it. Through these two years of getting along, they really accept her wholeheartedly, and so many difficulties have been overcome with ease. In her opinion, there was no need for her to do so.
They don't have the mind to worry about the world, and some of them are absolutely obedient to their masters. Continue to be afraid, the greater the expectation, the longer the disappointment. Persuade her to give up, and understand her perseverance not to give up. Contradictory and distressed her.
I was deeply impressed by her charm.
Shen Xinran didn't stop, no one dared to stop. But everyone didn't have hope for this, and let her observe around the surroundings. They understood her urgency. Obviously you can't do it, but you do it in the opposite direction.
As the same people, they don't have her tenacity, they hit the south wall, their heads are broken and they don't look back, and they tear down the wall when they encounter it. As men, they feel guilty, and they don't have the worries of the world in their hearts, and they just want to keep one acre and three points of land in their hands.
Half an hour later, it went down to the next meter, and the bottom became harder and harder, everyone was a little exhausted, they were more than three meters, and they still had to continue digging, and the substitutions were becoming more and more frequent, and the bottom breathing was not smooth.
But no one dared to speak. Atmosphere once gelled. No one had the same momentum and confidence as they had at the beginning. These two days of high work, eating and sleeping overnight, worrying. While there has been no harvest for a long time, on the other hand, you have to guard against the fear of fierce sun in the deep mountains, physically and mentally exhausted, and the spirit is also close to collapse.
The only thing that sustained them was the girl in front of them. Having her is like having a faith that makes them follow her and listen to her.
The wind chime decisively took the shovel and resolutely jumped down to dig her head, she couldn't bear to look directly at it, Shen Xinran was stunned, and firmly believed that there was water here.
She is the master of her heart, and obedience is her only mission!
Everyone was startled by her sudden jump, but fortunately she landed safely in the pit.
"Xiao Ran, you can rest." Wu Qiang saw that Shen Xinran was still not giving up studying the surrounding environment and soil. I feel distressed.
"You can't be wrong, this place should be suitable for digging wells, but how can there be no water. Qin Yan, take me down to have a look. Shen Xinran decided to go down and take a look, there must be a reason for this.
Qin Yan saw that Shen Xinran did not give up, and jumped down with her waist around her. The three people in the well could barely move.
Coming down, the humidity below was heavier, and Shen Xinran wondered, could she really insist on being wrong. Shen Xinran's hand rotated in a circle along the wall of the well.
Wrong.
Shen Xinran came up at a moment, his face was not as tense as he was just now, and his face was also light and calm. A confident look.
Hooking everyone's hearts, eager to know what she found down there, how to go down, it's sunny.
Then, the wind chimes followed, along with the tools underneath.
Shen Xinran pretended to be mysterious, and asked everyone to use the well as a radial extension to expand the surrounding area by half a meter to dig.
