Chapter 87: Searching for Water Source


    Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions


    There were six viges around the Chu Vige. On this day, the vige chiefs of these six viges came to the house of the Chu Vige chief. Their faces were covered in dust and they had worried expressions.


    Vige Chief Chu received them with hospitality and asked them to sit in the central room. “What brought you here?”


    The vige chief of the Zhang Vige said bitterly, “Only your vige has enough water in this area. Who else can we look for other than you?”


    Vige Chief Chu immediately understood what he meant. It had not rained for more than two months, and the sun was scorching the ground every day. Everyone was running out of water. “Are you nning to fetch water from the Chu Vige?”


    The vige chief of the Xu Vige waved his hand and said, “No, 1 heard that someone in your vige can find water sources. 1 wonder if you can get her to help? Of course, we will pay.”


    Vige Chief Chu didn’t mind, but he couldn’t make the decision for Chu


    Qingzhi. “I agree to this, but whether she agrees or not is up to her.”


    The vige chief of the Zhao Vige said anxiously, “Brother Chu, bring us to see her. Well ask her ourselves.”


    This concerned the lives of tens of thousands of people. Vige Chief Chu did not dare to dy. “Alright, follow me.”


    Coincidentally, when they walked near Chu Qingzhi’s house, they bumped into Chu Qingzhi sending Chu Qingyue back.


    Vige Chief Chu went forward and said politely, “Qingzhi, some people are looking for you. Can 1 borrow some of your time?”


    When the vige chiefs saw this, they revealed looks of disbelief. Did this little girl find a water source? Was she that capable?


    Chu Qingzhi nced at them and said, “Sure.”


    Vige Chief Chu first introduced the other vige chiefs and briefly exined what had happened. Only then did they let the few vige chiefs talk to Chu Qingzhi.


    Vige Chief Zhang said anxiously, “Miss Chu, please help our vige find a water source. There’s no more water in the vige. Now, everyone has to go to the river 20 miles away to fetch water. They usually go early in the morning and onlye back at noon. Many people are suffering from sunstroke.”


    Vige Chief Zhao also said, “Miss Chu, if you help us find a water source, our entire vige will thank you.”


    Chu Qingzhi understood what they were here for. She looked at the sky. It wouldn’t rain for at least a month. If this continued, someone would probably die. “I’ll go with you after I tell my family about it. You can discuss among yourself which vige I should go to first.”


    The vige chiefs hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Miss Chu.”


    Chu Qingzhi turned around and returned home.


    She walked into the kitchen. “Mother, I have something to do. I might not be back for lunch.”


    Li Qingyu was cutting meat. When she heard this, she immediately stopped. “Qingzhi, what are you going to do? Is it so urgent that you can’t stay for lunch?”


    Granny Chu also asked with concern, “Yes, what is it?”


    Chu Qingzhi exined to them with a smile.


    This matter concerned the lives of many people. They did not dare to dy Chu Qingzhi.


    Li Qingyu immediately washed her hands and went to get an umbre for Chu Qingzhi. “Use the umbre. Your skin is tender. It won’t be good if you get a sunburn.”


    Then, she went to get a bottle and washed it. She filled it with water and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “You have to keep yourself hydrated. The weather is so hot.”


    Feeling the love from her mother, Chu Qingzhi’s heart felt sweet. She smiled and said, “Mother, Grandma, I’lle back as soon as possible.”


    Li Qingyu sent Chu Qingzhi to the door. “By the way, Qingzhi, I almost forgot. Your Uncles willeter. What do you want me to arrange for them to do?”


    Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “You can ask them to make ice cream bars, help Father with the furniture, or help build the house. They can choose whatever they want as long as they work hard.”


    Li Qingyu nodded. “1 understand. Come back early.”


    Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I know.”


    Chu Qingzhi walked over to meet up with the vige chiefs. They were still waiting.


    Vige Chief Zhang said, “Miss Chu, we’ve discussed. Let’s go to Zhang Vige first.”


    Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Let’s go.”


    The Zhang Vige was five miles away from the Chu Vige. There was a mountain between them, and it was an hour’s walk. In this era, it was considered close.


    It was still filled with vitality when Chu Qingzhi came to pick orangesst time. At this moment, the nts, animals, and people were all in low spirits and listless.


    The Chu Vige was next to a small river, and the Zhang Vige was in the opposite direction of the river, so there were mountains here. The vige was in a valley surrounded by mountains.


    Vige Chief Zhang’s eyes were filled with anticipation. “Miss Chu, do you think we have a water vein here?”


    Chu Qingzhi observed her surroundings. “Let me take a look first.”


    To the south of the vige, there was a small mountain with many pine trees. The mountain was not high, and many children in the vige yed in the mountain.


    Chu Qingzhi flew up the mountain.


    There were martial arts in this world. Everyone knew this, but it was rare for people in the vige to see it with their own eyes. When they saw Chu Qingzhi fly up, they were stunned.


    “She can fly?!”


    “Miss Chu can fly! She will definitely find a water source. We are saved.”


    “We’re saved! We’re saved!!”


    Seeing this scene, not only the vige chiefs, but also the vigers of the Zhang Vige stood rooted to the ground, as if they had seen a fairy descending to the mortal world.


    Actually, she was really a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.


    Chu Qingzhi flew to the top of a big tree and looked around. Soon, she discovered a small water vein that was enough for the vigers.


    She flew down. “Vige Chief Zhang, get the vigers to bring the hoes over to dig for water.”


    “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll go immediately.” Vige Chief Zhang turned around and ran to inform the vigers to get their tools.


    The water source was beside a cluster of lush bamboo outside the vige. After digging half a meter deep, water seeped out.


    The moment they saw the water, many vigers could not help but wipe their tears.


    Some of the vigers surrounded Chu Qingzhi and handed her fruits. “Miss, thank you. Thank you.”


    “If it weren’t for you, we’d all be dead.”


    An old woman walked over and ced the only two eggs in her house into the small bag Chu Qingzhi was carrying. “Good girl, good girl. You saved the entire vige. Thank you so much.”


    Everyone was doing their best to express their gratitude. Chu Qingzhi had never encountered such a situation before and was a little touched. “No need, no need. You can keep it for yourselves.”


    Everyone kept stuffing things into her hands. “Take it, take it. We don’t have anything good. This is all we have. Don’t refuse.”


    Therefore, when Chu Qingzhi came out of the Zhang Vige, the small cloth bag was already full.


    Chu Qingzhi touched the small cloth bag. She really couldn’t reject the enthusiastic vigers.


    Vige Chief Zhang sent Chu Qingzhi to the entrance of the vige. “Miss Chu, take this. It’s not much, but it’s a token of everyone’s appreciation. Don’t decline.” It was a silver ingot worth ten taels of silver.


    After thinking for a while, Chu Qingzhi took the silver ingot. “If you need anything, you cane to the Chu Vige to look for me again.”


    Vige Chief Zhang was extremely grateful. “Thank you, Miss Chu..”
