General Grim wants to post every day

Chapter 30 Discovering the Spirit Spring
Ye Lingce's sharp and narrow eyes under the golden mask sank, he turned to look at Ye Minglan, a strong oppressive force emanated from his body, and the temperature of the whole room dropped suddenly.

"Ye Minglan, tell me the truth, are you really copying scriptures here all this time?"

He was obviously talking to Ye Minglan, but his eyes fell on Jiang Xiuxiu.

Ye Minglan shrank all over, swallowing uneasily.

"Of course, Doctor Jiang and I have been copying from morning till night."

If he let his brother know that he slept most of the night, he must be beaten to death!
Jiang Xiuxiu stood on the sidelines, watching her heart, without showing any signs of panic.

Only then did Ye Lingce look away from her and reached out to Ye Minglan.

"Okay, now show me the Tao Te Ching you copied."

Ye Minglan hurriedly presented the "Tao Te Ching" he had copied. He had copied so many times and copied out his experience early, so he copied most of it quickly this time.

Jiang Xiuxiu also took the copied paper on the table to Ye Lingce.

Ye Lingce just touched it, and he felt a measure in his heart.

"Ms. Jiang, you can go back and rest first. General Ben has something to tell you tomorrow morning."

After Jiang Xiuxiu retreated, Ye Minglan wanted to go out too, but suddenly a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Who told you to leave, you haven't finished copying the "Tao Te Ching", you will be fined to copy five times before you can go out."

Ye Minglan:? ? ?

On the second day, Ye Minglan finally finished copying the "Tao Te Ching" without sleep

And when he happily rushed into the back kitchen, ready to eat the roast chicken left over from yesterday, he looked at the roast chicken missing two legs and fell into deep thought.

"..."

Who killed a thousand knives and stole the roasted chicken leg that he secretly kept! ! !
……

……

Jiang Xiuxiu followed Ye Lingce out of the General's Mansion early in the morning.

Ye Lingce walked very fast, and Jiang Xiuxiu couldn't keep up for a long time. Fortunately, he stopped and waited for her for a while.

Jiang Xiuxiu asked out of breath, "General, where are we going?"

Ye Lingce said calmly, "Look for water."

Zhenxiguan is located in the Western Region, which is arid and lacks water. The main water source is the snowmelt of Tianshan Mountains and groundwater sources. Even if there are lakes, they are all saltwater lakes.

But this year's weather is extremely hot. The water source from the Tianshan Mountains is close to drying up. God does not rain. The food in the crop fields is now short of water and dry. If the water source is not found in time, it is likely to affect this year's harvest.

The military rations will also be affected, and the situation at Zhenxiguan will also become bad.

Jiang Xiuxiu looked around, and found that most of the place was desert, and it could be said that dripping water was hard to find, and even green vegetation was rarely seen.

"The general is bare everywhere, where is there any water?"

Ye Lingce took a few steps forward, knelt down and picked up a handful of sand from the ground, rubbed it in his hands a few times, and kicked it all up.

"There is no water above the ground, but there is water under the ground."

Jiang Xiuxiu believed Ye Lingce's nonsense, she ran with him all morning, but didn't find a drop of water, instead she was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

They found a teahouse to sit down and drink tea.

Jiang Xiuxiu slumped on the chair exhausted, her smooth forehead was covered with fine sweat.

"How can there be any water here, General, it's not a problem if we go looking for it like this!"

Ye Lingce pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and he was also frowning for a while.

If the water source problem is not solved for a day, the situation of Zhenxiguan will become more dangerous.

Jiang Xiuxiu picked up the teacup and took a big sip of tea before gradually recovering.

After she put down the teacup, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the space bracelet on her wrist.

Yes!How could she forget that there is such a good thing!
Jiang Xiuxiu raised the corners of her lips suddenly, "General, if I say that I can find water in the rest of the afternoon, can I not have to pay back the hundred taels of gold?"

Ye Lingce looked up at Jiang Xiuxiu suspiciously.

He originally planned to find the water source, which may take five or six days, but because she can find the water source in just half a day?
"If you can find it, let alone the one hundred taels of gold, this general can reward you with another hundred taels of gold!"

Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, and she stood up abruptly from her seat.

"General, are you serious?"

"Exactly!"

……

……

In the afternoon, Ye Lingce's barracks had important matters to deal with, so he left first.

As soon as he left, Jiang Xiuxiu pressed the bracelet and said to Xiaotong, "Xiaotong turned on the investigation mode."

[Good master!Xiaotong has opened the survey mode for you! 】

Since she stayed by Ye Lingce's side, Xiaotong has been continuously upgraded and unlocked many new functions, such as this survey mode, which can survey things within a radius of 500 meters, including water sources.

Jiang Xiuxiu asked Xiaotong to investigate while walking, but Xiaotong didn't make any movement.

Just when she was about to give up, Xiaotong suddenly issued a rapid siren.

[Master Xiaotong has detected a total of five water sources, one of which is most likely a spirit, spirit, spirit spring! ! !right in front of you! ! 】

Xiao Tong's voice was trembling with excitement, Lingquan is a good thing of S level in the system book, and it is a treasure that can't be found!

"Lingquan?" Jiang Xiuxiu stared at the flat desert ahead and asked, "What is a Lingquan?"

Xiaotong explained to her with a trembling voice.

[The water of Lingquan can not only heal the wounds of people and animals, but also promote the growth of plants, and the owner can harvest crops in a short time. 】

There are such good things! ?

Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes widened in surprise. If she had a spiritual spring in hand, wouldn't she not have to worry about starving to death in such a place where birds don't shit.

She immediately took out the shovel from the space bracelet and started digging, but all she dug out was loose sand, and she didn't see a drop of water, which made her half dead from the heat.

Jiang Xiuxiu slumped on the ground.

"Xiao Tong, measure how deep the water source is from the ground."

[Hmm... The master's water source is 15 meters deep from the ground! 】

15 meters is as high as a five-six-story building. If she wants to dig it, she will have to dig it until the year of the monkey, and even if she digs it out, it is not convenient to use.

Jiang Xiuxiu frowned, she looked up sadly at a small slope not far away.

If there is something that can bring up the water from the ground, it would be great.

At this moment, a bold idea entered Jiang Xiuxiu's mind.

yes!She can use Karez to draw water from the mountain down!
After Jiang Xiuxiu returned to the General's Mansion, she immediately took out a pen and ink and drew a sketch of Karez on rice paper.

Ye Minglan leaned over curiously, but couldn't understand even after looking at it for a long time, "Ms. Jiang, what are you drawing? Why are there holes in each hole?"

Jiang Xiuxiu explained, "Oh, this is a karez, which can be used to divert water in arid areas."

She paused, and suddenly said with a smile, "By the way, Ye Minglan, how about I make a deal with you?"

After a while, Ye Minglan left with a few bottles of wine contentedly, and Jiang Xiuxiu also had a heavy bag of broken silver in her hand.

With the money she earned from selling wine with Ye Minglan, she hired a few local people to dig Karez in the desert with her.

Jiang Xiuxiu took out the designed drawings, pointed to the small soil slope not far away, and said, "Just follow my blueprint and dig all the way down."

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the afternoon was about to pass.

Suddenly there was an exclamation, and Jiang Xiuxiu hurried over.

"Come and see! Come and see! I dug out the water!"

I saw a bucket of spring water coming out of the well. The water was clear and bright without any impurities.

Jiang Xiuxiu immediately took a handful with her hand, put it to her mouth and tasted it.

Sure enough, it was a spiritual spring, the spring water was sweet and clear, and after just taking a sip, she felt full of strength all over her body, and all the fatigue of the day was swept away.
