Although the people of Songjiazhuang have lived here for generations, the current villagers can’t tell when they started to settle here. Like the villagers in other villages, they like to gossip, men like to brag, and women like to chat. The parents are short-lived, and occasionally have disputes, dirty, and even fist-to-fist fights.

But they have some characteristics that are different from other villages, such as unity, such as never killing them all even if they fight, such as the respect and dedication to scholars for centuries.

At this time, the fight was provoked by Song Zheng's words, and his spirits were even more lifted. He felt that the future of Songjiazhuang could be expected, and reading, wealth, and changing the family were all close at hand.

Song Zheng looked at the villagers in front of him and felt relieved.Thinking about the craft taught by Yiren, it might be a good opportunity for their Songjiazhuang to make a name for themselves and make money!
He muttered in his heart: Maybe this child is really a lucky star!In the past, they took their children to pick mountain products to make money, and later, they built kang and fire walls to make money for everyone!
At this time, Song Yiren, the "lucky star" whom Song Zheng was talking about in his heart, was walking deep into the forest.

After lunch, she followed Sanmao and other children into the mountain.According to her request, the children did not go deep, so soon after entering the forest, she found an excuse to separate from the children and went deep alone with a backpack on her back.

Yi Ren was still a little apprehensive. He heard that there were ferocious beasts deep in the forest.She has never been here, let alone her, even the original owner, such a person who was born and raised in this era, has never been here.Some men or hunters in the village have been here, but what she wants to do is secretive and cannot be seen, so she can only come alone.

She was holding a sharp sickle in her hand, and she was carrying a pannier on her back. In the pannier covered with cloth were some dried wormwood and some medicine bought in the town to poison animals.

She imagined that when she was pregnant, even if it wasn't a beast, if she ran into a wild boar or a lynx, not to mention a catastrophe, it would be enough for her to suffer.Before the beast ate her, I don't know if the poison and drug can bring them down, but it's better than nothing!

Walking in the forest, there is no way to go further.Come to think of it, the villagers of Songjiazhuang have never been so hungry that the only people who go to the mountains to beg for a living are a few hunters in the village, and they only come during the slack season.Several other nearby villages either do not adjoin the forest, or adjoin the other side of the forest.

Therefore, there are few people in the depths of the forest, and there is not even a road to step on.

Yi Ren took the sickle used by Aunt Li's family to mow the grass, and cut the weeds in front of him, so as not to lose sight of the way to go, but also to mark the way from where he came from, so as to avoid being unable to go back.

A gust of wind blew, and she seemed to hear the sound of "rustling" in the woods, as if it was near her, and she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

Yi Ren stopped her movements and did not dare to move, for fear that there would be a pair of peeping green eyes crawling in the grass, dormant, waiting to discover a weakness of hers, and then swooping towards her.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. She let out a big breath and continued walking.After walking a few steps, she heard the sound of "rustling" again. She stopped again, but the sound disappeared again.
After repeated several times, Yi Ren was finally exhausted, and a wave of anger welled up in his heart, giving birth to some heroism of "a soldier can be killed but not humiliated".

"What the hell! Come out if you have the guts!" He yelled towards the green forest, but there was still no movement.She waited quietly for a while, thinking that maybe she really made a mistake, otherwise no animal would be able to withstand her tossing, and either ran away, or rushed out to bite her throat.

After walking a little further, Yiren walked onto a slightly higher ground, and she took advantage of the terrain to look into the distance.

Here is a ring-shaped mountain range, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the terrain gradually flattens towards Songjiazhuang.Moreover, there are many copper money grasses growing here, which are much denser than when they first entered the forest.

Yi Ren, who studied agriculture in his previous life, also suspected that there was an unknown water source or groundwater on the mountain because of the copper money grass on the edge of the forest and knew the water-loving habit of the copper money grass.That's why today's trip came about.

She looked around, and finally her eyes stopped at a low-lying place. She walked over, grabbed the money grass on the ground, and rolled a handful of soil on the ground.

It has a slight moist feeling, which is different from that outside the forest.

Yiren picked up a few dead branches, put them on the ground, and put the dried wormwood in the basket on the dead branches, leaving a hollow in the middle to allow air to circulate, and then lit it with a torch.

After the wormwood is ignited, the smoke spreads slowly and evenly from the burning center to the ground.Yi Ren stared at the smoke without blinking, and couldn't help showing a disappointed expression.

In the history of agronomy, she learned how the ancients searched for water sources: Dried wormwood has a characteristic after being ignited, that is, the smoke will go down and go downstream along the cracks in the ground. If it encounters a place with heavy humidity, the smoke will It will emerge upwards, and judge the location of groundwater based on this.

But she hadn't practiced it, and although she didn't have much expectation in her heart, she was still a little disappointed seeing her hope coming to nothing.

Seeing that half of the dried wormwood in the basket was about to be burned, she could only put the other half on it.At this moment, the already sparse smoke rose again.

She followed the smoke a little further, and came to the edge of a lower-lying mountain.

The smoke rose suddenly, as if half of the immortals were ascending to immortality here at this moment.

Yi Ren's eyes were bright, and he didn't care about his pregnant body, so he rushed forward in three steps at a time.I saw the corner of the mountain, as if being pierced in by a giant with an iron rod, and then opened a little crack - there is a gap there!The nearby vegetation is also exceptionally strong.

Yi Ren touched the crack, and it was wet, like water-stained, not slightly wet!She turned around to look at the crack, which was deep and slender, so dark that it was impossible to see if there was water.

She stretched out her hand to pull out the surrounding vegetation, and put her ear against the stone, and she could hear the sound of water flowing slightly!

"Hua hua hua", the water flowed through the gaps in the stone walls of the mountain, and only a place as thick as a baby's arm could see the sun, and then returned to the ground again.

There must be water!There's water coming out!Yi Ren thought excitedly.Who can seep out from the rocks of the mountain is enough to show that there is groundwater here, and the resources of groundwater are very rich!If a water source can be found, even if it is really dry, the whole village will not die of thirst.

She reached out to feel the depth of the crack again, because the crack underneath was so small that her fingertips barely touched a little water.But this discovery was enough to make her excited and satisfied!For a moment, I forgot that I was still deep in the dangerous and rare forest.
