Jiang Yan picked up Lin Feng's bowl and coaxed him to eat a mouthful of meat and porridge, the little guy was reluctant at first, his eyes were panic and greed, Jiang Yan had to be carefully appeased.

She looked at a few children, and the hatred in her heart became deeper and deeper, she had never given birth to children, never raised children, and did not know how to take care of a few children.

But now that she is slowly integrating into this family, she knows that every child is different, each has its own personality and ideas, but they are all filial and obedient, Jiang Yan began to accept them and began to learn to love them.

After Lin Feng and Lin Bei fell asleep, Jiang Yan was still guarding by the bedside, and after a while, she would reach out and touch Lin Bei's forehead, until she confirmed that the temperature had dropped and she no longer had a fever, and then rearranged the matter of going up the mountain.

The current situation at home does not allow her to stop, and she must always take precautions before she reaches a desperate situation, so she must find the water source in the mountains before the water in the village is cut off, so that even if she really reaches the step of escaping the famine, there is one more way.

Jiang Yan took her three sons up the mountain, and asked Liu Xiaomeng to help at home, and the sensible two daughters-in-law had already helped her steam a few nests, so that she could stay in the mountain for a longer time.

A group of five people went up the mountain, in order to pick more wild vegetables and green leaves, in addition to their own two back baskets, they also borrowed three back baskets from Zhang Yanzi's family.

The fierce sun shone on the whole land, the rice in the fields was already half dead, and the villagers they met along the way were all sighing and mourning.

The parched land seemed to have its mouth open, longing for some rain from God, but unfortunately, there were more and more cracks, and they were getting bigger and bigger, but God still had no sign of rain.

When they reached the mountains, the towering trees blocked most of the sunlight, and the mountain breeze was much cooler, allowing a few people to take a deep breath comfortably.

Jiang Yan let them move in a familiar place, and she went deeper, today's purpose is to find a water source, so for the sake of safety, she didn't let a few children follow the adventure.

She has her own mall, if she really encounters any beasts, she can also buy some weapons to defend herself, Jiang Yan groped in the mountains, and while looking for it, she followed the tips of the mall to see if there was anything valuable.

Jiang Yan tried hard to recall that when she was studying astronomy and geography in school, she had no way to find groundwater or mountain water sources, but her mind was useless.

She clicked on the mall, searching for instruments such as detecting water sources, although she couldn't think of any professional instruments, but she looked in the mall to see if there was any cheapness.

Forehead......

Jiang Yan looked at the detector that could only be purchased for a few hundred taels, and then thought of all her belongings, she rolled her eyes, it was outrageous!

It's not something she can afford!

She flipped through it without giving up, what ore surveyor, metal scanner...... There is everything, only what you can't think of, there is nothing that it doesn't have, provided you have to be rich!

Jiang Yan shook her head helplessly, and could only look back and forth in the mountains based on her shallow knowledge of the ground.

In this era, there are no instruments to find water sources, so how did they find water sources?

Jiang Yan suddenly remembered a method, which was used in the countryside in the past, that is, to use a bowl to put the soybeans upside down, and wait for the next day to see the soybeans rise, there is groundwater.

Bowls and soybeans can be purchased directly in the mall, but you have to wait until the next day, if the birds in the mountains eat the soybeans, it will be a bamboo basket to draw water, and it is impossible to spend the night in the mountains......

Jiang Yan searched in the mall for a long time, but Huang Dou didn't think about whether to buy it or not, but found a strange geography book first.

The book is about the discovery and exploitation of groundwater, and it also details where water sources may appear in the mountains, and it costs 20 copper plates, and it is still under discount.

She immediately bought the book and immediately found a shady place to read it.

She sat for an hour or two, and mosquitoes flew around her, no matter how rough her body was, she was bitten into several large bags.

She didn't care about tickling, she endured the itch, and searched back and forth in the mountains according to the cases in the book.

Everyone says that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, for Jiang Yan, the most important thing at the moment is the water source, and the water source is her golden house Yan Ruyu.

But the talk on paper is just empty talk after all, and she can only look for it in the mountains according to the information in the book.

The book says that a more suitable method for current use is to use mugwort to burn cigarettes, mugwort burns up smoke, and the direction of the smoke is downward, when there is groundwater, the smoke will evaporate and rise with the water.

There are voids on the surface of groundwater, and when mugwort burns, the heat generated travels down the voids, and when it encounters water, it turns into steam, and there must be a water source in that place.

Jiang Yan thought about it, only this method was the most suitable and reliable at the moment, and she began to look for mugwort, which was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.

People here will judge the time by looking at the sky, Jiang Yan has not learned this skill after staying for so long, and every time she looks at the time in the mall.

She walked back to her separate position from her sons, and sat on the mud floor with a handful of mugwort in her arms, panting, drenched in sweat.

She gulped down the nest head, replenishing the lost physical strength, since taking over this body, she has been busy working all day long, tired is tired, but I feel that the body is much stronger, the original body is a lazy and slippery virtue, although it is a peasant woman, but the body bones are much weaker than ordinary peasant women.

The first to come back was Lin Xi, who was carrying a basket full of green leaves, and at a glance saw the mother sitting in the haystack rubbing her legs and touching her feet, and ran over in a hurry.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Did you sprain your foot? ”

Jiang Yan shook her head and smiled knowingly: "What are you doing in a hurry, I didn't sprain, you can rest for a while, eat something, and follow me to the west to have a look." ”

The soil is the wettest there, and there is a greater chance of water!

Lin Xi nodded hurriedly, quickly took out the nest head that had been divided a long time ago, and began to eat it in a big gulp, he saw Jiang Yan laying on the ground mugwort, lowered his head and smelled it.

"Mother, this is Artemisia, why are you cutting so much? Can this also be eaten? ”

"Could this be something as delicious as cold tofu?"

Lin Xi already had a deep understanding of how his mother could make delicious things out of leaves, and when he saw so many mugwort, he thought he could make them into food.

"No, it's not for food."

Lin Xi scratched the back of her head: "I can't eat it, what is that mother cutting for?" This thing smells bad, and it burns with a lot of smoke, if my mother uses it to pad her ass, I'll cut other hay for you again. ”
