There is room for the evil peasant woman

Chapter 32 Found water
  "Mom, what are you doing lighting this grass?" Chen Yuan saw Shen Yan go to a relatively open place and light the grass brought from home, but Chen Yuan didn't know what kind of grass it was.

Shen Yan found a hole, lit the mugwort and put it in quickly. There was a lot of smoke inside, some of it went into the hole, and more of it overflowed and floated gently on the ground.

Because of the incomplete combustion of mugwort, the smoke is granular, which is very similar to the principle of modern backflow incense.

However, after Shen Yan ignited all these, he felt a little regretful. He felt that his brain had been abnormal recently. The functions of mugwort, moxibustion, and mugwort leaves were basically to remove dampness, drive away dampness, and dispel cold. However, there is no statement indicating that mugwort smoke has hydrophilic properties, and the book Shen Yan read only gave a very superficial introduction in this regard, without any factual basis to support it.

Shen Yan sighed, it was here anyway, so let's try it first.

"This grass, mother, try using it to see if you can find water."

Chen Yuan's eyes were full of doubts, "How can you find water with grass?" Chen Yuan didn't understand, and Shen Ran, who was standing on the side, also turned his attention to Shen Yan.

"Hmm... Well, my mother saw that the smoke from mugwort was pointing downwards, and she wanted to see if she could use the smoke to find water." Shen Yan didn't have confidence in this method either.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately praised: "Wow, mother is so smart!"

Hearing this, Shen Yan chuckled and said, "You, you, okay, you two will help mother look around to see if there is any smoke coming out. If you see it, tell mother."

"Okay!" The two agreed.

Shen Yan ignited all the remaining mugwort. Of course, Shen Yan paid attention to the surrounding scenery to ensure that there were no combustibles around the lit mugwort that could cause a fire.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Mom, did you see the smoke? I didn't see it." There were a lot of sweat on Chen Yuan's face.

Shen Yan handed the water he brought from home to Chen Yuan, "Drink some first and see how tired you are? Okay, if you can't find water this way, let's try another method."

Chen Yuan drank the water and handed it to Shen Ran who was standing aside. However, Shen Ran's condition looked much better than that of Shen Yan and Chen Yuan, but his face was slightly red.

Shen Ran hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it. Just as he was about to pour the water into his mouth, he saw smoke slowly rising from a place not far away.

Shen Ran paused with his hand holding the kettle, pointed at that place, and said uncertainly: "Mom, look...where?"

Shen Yan looked in the direction of Shen Ran's finger in confusion, and her eyes lit up instantly, "That's..."

After saying that, he walked over. When he saw that there was indeed a lot of smoke slowly spilling out from inside, and this was not where Shen Yan lit the mugwort, Shen Yan became even more excited, "Xiao Ranran, you are really mine. Lucky star!"

Taking the shovel he brought from home, he dug down along the muddy ground. After digging for nearly a quarter of an hour, he slowly saw the moist soil and vaguely exposed water. When he saw this, Shen Yan knew he had found it.

"Yuanzi, Xiaoran, there is water! By the way, you two go around and see if there are any similar places!"

When they heard that they had found water, Shen Ran and Chen Yuan were also very happy and obediently looked around.

Shen Yan continued to dig in the soil, trying to get more water out of the soil, so that he could do some things later.

"Jiujiu, can you help me see how much water is down here?"

[I’m sorry, host, I can’t~] The ones online now are all customer service staff.

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled half-heartedly, "Hey, do you really not want to consider taking a look?"

[Don’t consider the host~]

"By the way, what can I do with my points?"

[Points can unlock the land in the space and open some things. Limited-time items such as dining rooms can only be obtained through points and rewards. Also, when the points reach 500, you can unlock the function of planting and harvesting in the space... There are more, I look forward to the host discovering them in person~]

"Speak normally! Okay, just use your points in exchange for the following information."

[Okay, -1, leaving 91. Data is being read - the groundwater source below is ten meters above the ground, with a volume of approximately 100 cubic meters. The data has been read, please check it with the host~] After saying that, he went offline. Hearing the system's report, Shen Yan felt relieved. It seemed that the water issue could be solved.

Shen Yan threw the shovel aside, casually slumped on the ground, and called over to the two children who were still looking for water.

"Yuanzi, Xiaoran——"

When the two of them walked in, Shen Yan asked, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Chen Yuan shook her head, "Mother, no, I didn't find any smoke coming out from around me!"

Shen Yan understood in his heart that it seemed that the method of finding water using mugwort was really not very good. It was estimated that the situation that had just occurred was just an accident.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. Our harvest today is pretty good. Let's go back and make a delicious meal to reward you today!"

"Okay!" Chen Yuan was visibly excited. Compared to Chen Yuan, Shen Ran seemed much calmer.

Shen Yan rubbed the two people's heads in a funny manner, "Wait until mother puts out all the ignited mugwort, and then we'll go home!"

At this time, Chen Yuan suddenly patted her head, "Mother, I suddenly remembered a place I had seen when I came to collect firewood on the mountain. It seemed that there used to be water there!" As he spoke, he pointed with excitement. Far away from this place, it seemed to be a little closer to the bottom of the mountain.

"Really?" Shen Yan was confused.

"Yes, I used to... um..." As he spoke, his voice became softer again, "Before... I accidentally fell down from there when I was collecting firewood. No one there should know."

Chen Yuan thought this naively, thinking that as long as no one knew about the water there, the water would not decrease.

Hearing this, he saw Chen Yuan's still excited little face and rubbed his head distressedly. The original owner used to make Chen Yuan, a child, do all kinds of things, wash clothes, collect firewood, clean and light fires, and often refused to eat and beat and scolded him. It is a common occurrence, and it is not easy to grow up to this point.

When Shen Yan first arrived, Chen Yuan's mental illness was quite serious. On the one hand, Shen Yan revealed in front of Chen Yuan that she was not the original owner, and on the other hand, she secretly treated him, which made him look much better now.

Touching Chen Yuan's head, "Yuanzi is doing well! Does it hurt?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, she didn't react yet. When Chen Yuan reacted, her eyes turned slightly red and she shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, because Yuanzi now has a good mother!"

After saying that, he hugged Shen Yan's waist.

Shen Ran, who was on the side, had no idea what was going on at Shen Yan's house. He looked at the suddenly strange atmosphere with an inexplicable look on his face. He stood quietly aside. Seeing this scene, he inexplicably thought of his mother, who was gentle and timid, but at the critical moment. The woman who always protects them.

After thinking about it, he didn't even hear Shen Yan calling him.

"Xiao Ran——"

Shen Yan walked up to Shen Ran and asked softly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Huh?" Shen Ran came back to his senses, saw Shi Chenyan, and said embarrassedly: "No...it's nothing."

Seeing this, Shen Yan didn't ask any more questions and took the person's hand, "Let's go, let's go home!"

Family?
  Shen Ran looked blankly at the hand he was holding. He was born with a cold body, and his hands were cold even in summer. Now being wrapped in the warmth of Shen Yan's palm, Shen Ran suddenly felt an unknown emotion coming over him. heart.

Chen Yuan's soft and waxy voice followed: "Brother Shen Ran, I want to hold you too..."

The moment she felt the warm touch on her hand, Shen Ran was stunned for a while. After she came to her senses, a long-lost, heartfelt smile slowly appeared on her usually indifferent face. Her eyes were slightly red, and she clenched her fists tightly. The big stone in my little hands and my heart seemed to turn into ashes at this moment...

He has a family again...
