Escape from the desert

Chapter 41 Good luck today
Jiang Yan looked at the mugwort under her butt. She had done moxibustion several times before. She was used to the smell, but felt that the aroma was strong, but some people couldn't stand the smell.

"It's not for butt pads. I have other uses. I just like it because it smokes a lot. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't like it!"

"After you finish eating, follow me with this pile of Artemisia seeds."

Jiang Yan simply bundled the mugwort and held it in Lin Xi's arms. Lin Xi couldn't smell the smell.

"Mother, what are you doing here?"

"Just follow."

Jiang Yan headed in front, and Lin Xi followed behind.

She walked to a place where the soil was slightly moister, circled a place, and asked Lin Xi to pile the wormwood on it. When she waited for a purse bag, she remembered that she didn't have a lighter, and she didn't even bring a fire bag.

Lin Xi looked curious: "Mother, why are you touching yourself?"

Jiang Yan looked at the wormwood pile: "I didn't bring the firewood, I'm going to burn this wormwood."

Lin Xi immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll set the fire, mother, wait for me!"

Having said that, Lin Xi found some hay around, found a rotten and dry wood and a straight wooden stick, squatted next to the wormwood, and began to rub it hard.

The stick and hay drilled a small hole in the rotten wood, and then rubbed out fine smoke. Lin Xi exerted force while blowing, and it burned in a short while.

Looking at Lin Xi's familiar movements, Jiang Yan knew that the child did not do this much on weekdays. She was relieved that it would be good to have a son who could drill wood to make fire, which helped her to save money for fire money!

"Mother, the wormwood is already on fire, what are you going to do next?"

Jiang Yan looked at the direction of the smoke and waved to him: "Follow!"

Jiang Yan cut a lot of mugwort, and the mugwort was still relatively fresh, and a lot of smoke was burned, and the smoke drifted towards the rocky mountain.

The two followed the smoke through the mountain stones, to the side of the mountain, and went all the way down to a smooth stone in the valley. There was a small open space, and there were hardly any tall trees. A large stone took up almost half of the mountain, and the whole The Great Valley blends together perfectly.

Jiang Yan took a closer look at the surrounding vegetation, the trees were tall and lush, and two pheasants were seen alone along the way, and the smoke suddenly began to rise here.

The water is right down there!
"Mother! The soil here is so wet!"

Lin Xi shouted with joy, he stepped on the wet soil a few times, like a squeezed sponge, the water flowed out, forming a small water hole in the shallow hole left by the footprint.

"The groundwater is here! The third child, go and call the boss and the others!"

Lin Xi was as happy as a child weighing more than 100 kilograms. He excitedly grabbed Jiang Yan's hand: "Mom! There is water in the mountains!"

When this kind of crops withered, the rivers dried up, and the villagers had no access to water, there was actually water on the mountains!

Lin Xi looked at Jiang Yan excitedly, with a sincere look as if he was looking at his most respected god: "Mother, you are so amazing!"

Jiang Yan patted his head and said with a smile, "Quickly find the boss and the others, let's pack up and prepare to go home."

Lin Xi nodded quickly, and ran out of the jungle to find Lin Dong and the others. Now his mother is the person he admires the most, so he must do whatever he wants!

Jiang Yan rubbed the water stains on the edge of the rock. It seemed that this method was really useful, and she actually found the water source.

Water can seep out from the ground, which is enough to show that this groundwater is very rich!
And this water is closer to Linjia Village than she thought, so the drinking water in the village will be solved!
Jiang Yan has a bold idea in her mind. If it can be implemented, at least half of the drought problem in the village can be solved!

The water source was found, and Jiang Yan's hanging heart was more than half relieved. After this relaxation, the soreness on her body came from all directions. She found a place to sit down and pondered the future plan.

Now, let's see how far it is to go down the mountain from this position and return to Linjia Village.

Tick ​​tock.

The water seeped out of the crack in the stone, dripped onto the stone in another place, then flowed to the ground, and penetrated into the soil.

Jiang Yan waved and chased away the mosquitoes, and Lin Dong and the others immediately looked around the Shikou as soon as they arrived, with surprise in their eyes.

Lin Nan also dipped some water with his hand and licked it in his mouth. His face was full of disbelief, and he exclaimed: "Mother! How do you know there is water here? This water tastes strangely sweet!"

Lin Xi said excitedly: "Mother is amazing, so I used that wormwood to burn a heap over the mountain. As soon as the smoke came out, my mother took me to find it, and then I found water!"

Lin Dong: "Mother, why can Artemisia find water?"

Jiang Yan smiled, of course she couldn't say that she bought the book for twenty cents and saw the successful cases of others.

She said mysteriously: "It's also luck, I don't know who I heard in the early years, this Artemisia Seed can cure diseases, and it is also a medicinal material that can remove moisture. A few days ago, I found that ordinary hay burns After the smoke comes out, the smoke is upward, only the smoke of Artemisia japonica is downward."

"The land in the mountains is moist, the vegetation is very lush, and mushrooms can grow. I thought that there should be springs or groundwater in the mountains. I was burning artemisia seeds in the mountains. If the smoke goes down, I must find them in the soil. In wet places, the smoke only rises here, and the land here is also the wettest, and water can seep out when you step down, so there should be a source of water under the ground, and it can be regarded as a blind cat catching a dead mouse.”

It is difficult for Jiang Yan to explain the reason, but she also hopes that her sons can learn something, so she told them in simpler terms that she did not think about the reason when she was doing moxibustion before. Now it seems that moxibustion is based on Mugwort has the downside characteristic.

Lin Xi was full of admiration: "Mother, you think so much! I want to be the same as you!"

Lin Dong was also very excited: "Mother, you are so amazing, I just think this Artemisia smelt smells very bad, I didn't expect it to be so useful!"

Lin Nan frowned: "Mother, this water is underground, are we going to dig a well here?"

"However, this place is also very far from the village. It is estimated that it will take more than half an hour to go back and forth. Even if we have time to fetch water back and forth, but the trees are tall and the grass is dense, we have to make a way out!"

Lin Xi said excitedly: "Mother finally found the water! The wells in the village are almost running out of water. Now every household has a fixed amount of water. When the water runs out, why not go to other villages to borrow it? I am the strongest and the strongest! I'll come to carry water every day!"

Several big guys began to discuss how to open a road, how to carry water, how to dig a well, and they all said the same thing!

Apart from digging wells to fetch water and logging to make way, they couldn't think of any other way.
