Along the way, Zhang Qiao found some useful herbs and dug them up. After three days of searching in the mountains, they found several small streams and ditches that were drying up, but there was no big water source.


    Everyone was a little bit discouraged.


    At night, they found a cave for the night.


    Mr. Han spent most of his life marching and fighting. He didn''t feel uncomfortable in such an environment. He was lying on a haystack and sleeping soundly.


    Gu Qian clenched Zhang Qiao''s hand and asked, "ah Qiao, let''s go down the mountain first tomorrow. I''ll send someone up the mountain to look for water. I can''t let you and your grandfather work so hard. "


    "Jiuye, I''m thinking that the river can''t be broken somewhere. If there is a Yinhe River, it will flow to other places. Are we in the wrong direction? " Zhang Qiao didn''t answer the question.


    The river is open.


    It''s impossible for all the water to accumulate together, or if there is too much water, the mountains will be washed away.


    The Yinhe river is said by old man Zhang. It should have been rumored for a long time. If there is no Yinhe River, it will flow to other places.


    As long as it is mobile, they can not go to Datong mountain, directly along the surrounding Datong mountain.


    Of course, it''s not easy to find the underground river, because I don''t know how deep it is.


    Smell speech, Gu Qian also began to think about this problem, after a long time, he said: "then we go down the mountain tomorrow, arrange people to look around Datong mountain, as long as there is a river, there will be clues."


    "All right!" Zhang Qiao stretched out her hand, "Ninth master, do you have a map of the mountain with Datong mountain?"


    Gu Qian took out the drawing from his arms and spread it beside the fire. "What do you want to see?"


    "The water flows to the lower part, even if it is not the lower part, it has to be parallel, and it can''t flow upward. According to this, let''s carefully consider this drawing and see where the river may pass through? "


    Zhang Qiao looks down at the drawing.


    Gu Qian also watched with him, guessing the possible direction according to the characteristics of the current.


    It''s just that it''s hard to guess where the river is.


    "Nine masters? This is it? "


    Zhang Qiao''s finger stopped on a lake. Gu Qian fixed his eyes on it and said with certainty, "this is Qinghu village. Can''t you recognize the green lake in front of my grandfather''s house?"


    “……” Zhang Qiao''s fingers crossed between Datong mountain and Qinghu lake. Gu Qian understood her meaning in an instant.


    "Ah Qiao, we have always limited our vision to the surrounding areas of Haitang village, but we have not gone further. Since it is a river and underground, it can flow further.


    It suddenly occurred to me that although there was a drought in Qinghu village and the water in the stream was dry, the water in Qinghu did not drop much


    "Jiuye, we left some people here to look for them. We sent people to Qinghu village to check where the water of Qinghu came from. If the water was dry, but the water of the lake did not change, then we can be sure that there must be some secret at the bottom of the lake.


    At that time, let''s send someone to the bottom of the lake to investigate and see if there is a water outlet? As long as we make sure there is a water outlet and the direction, we can find the water source. "


    Gu Qian put Zhang Qiao in his arms. "Ah Qiao, you are really a lucky star. I have been pondering over the drawings every day these days, but I didn''t think about it. When you say that, I feel like I''m in a hurry. "


    The next day.


    Gu Qian made arrangements for the dark guards on the mountain and pointed them in several directions. He asked them to look under the Datong mountains, focusing on the direction of Qinghu village.


    Mr. Han and Mr. Zhang went down the mountain together.


    ……


    Zhang Jia and Zhang Dacheng are waiting at the gate of the courtyard every day. They often run to the back mountain to wait, and wait until the evening to come back.


    These days, both husband and wife are very busy. They feel that they have no energy to do anything. They have been thinking about the people on the mountain.


    Zhang Dacheng is particularly clear about the secret guards.


    Once I''ve seen it, I can''t forget it. When I think about it, my hair will stand up. I feel that as long as there are all kinds of dangers on the mountain, Zhang Qiao can''t let go if they don''t go down the mountain.


    In the evening, the family went to the fields to water.


    Zhang Dacheng carried an empty bucket to the river to carry water, just met Lin Changqing.


    Lin Changqing is standing by the river, looking at the river which is falling every day, sighing.


    Zhang Dacheng patted him on the shoulder, "still worried? You can''t worry about water. "


    "By the way, ah Qiao, have they come back yet?" Lin Changqing turned to see him and asked.


    Zhang Dacheng shook his head and looked back in the direction of the mountain. "Not yet. I don''t know what happened to them on the mountain? Can''t it be that they sent us down to Datong mountain again? "


    This is what Zhang Dacheng has been worried about. Now Datong mountain is a nightmare for him.


    Hearing the three words of Datong mountain, Lin Changqing was also worried. "I don''t think so. Jiuye and Laozi won''t let ah Qiao go into danger. After all, she is pregnant and has a baby, so she will think more about it.You, I think you are very worried these days. Can you persuade me, why can''t you persuade yourself?


    Don''t think too much about it. Ah Qiao will be fine with the old man and Jiu Ye. Your girl is a capable one. You know that. Don''t worry


    Alas


    With a long sigh.


    Ability belongs to ability, do parents, the child is not in front of you, which can be at ease?


    "Carry water! Water the flowers


    "Yes! Together


    No one knows how long it will last to carry water and water flowers like this? No one knows when there will be water? Or God''s mercy, it can rain heavily.


    "You''ve gone too far. The river is getting less and less because you have to water the flowers every morning and evening.


    If you don''t think about it, the river water has been taken to water the flowers. After the water is dry, what shall we drink?


    What''s important, now or those lives?


    Don''t pick! Stop all of you. You can''t carry any more water. You''re killing people. "


    Several old women of the Lin family are stopping the villagers from carrying water and watering flowers by the river. Seeing that the villagers can''t persuade them, they sit by the river and clap their thighs and cry.


    "Sooner or later, you will regret it. When there is no water, what flowers are you watering? Is life not important?"


    "God, it''s going to take us all at once."


    "Someone here must have done something to offend God, otherwise how could it be dry? There has not been such a situation for decades, such a sudden disaster, it is impossible that things happen for no reason. "


    "My God Please open your eyes We don''t want to die These people want money but not life. If they want to be punished, they will be punished. We are innocent... "


    Zhang Dacheng and Lin Changqing turn to look over there. They put down the barrel in a hurry and go over there anxiously.
