Chapter 257 Volunteer to Find Water

At noon, the team stopped to rest. Li Yaoguang went to the front and personally found the tribe leader who had a worried look on his face.

Seeing her coming, the clan leader tried to suppress his bitterness and fatigue, and looked at her with all his strength, "Guang boy, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Li Yaoguang simply nodded, "Yes."

Recalling Li Yaoguang's kindness in giving him medicine, the clan leader was afraid that something serious might happen, so he did not dare to take it lightly and said politely: "I have been grateful for your care in the past, Guang boy. We are all family, so if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Li Yaoguang was not vague and went straight to the point.

"Uncle clan leader, now that we have come this far, everyone must be short of water, right? We don't know what the road ahead will be like, but we really can't survive without water, right? I have some skills in finding dragon points, and there is a mountain ahead. Uncle clan leader, why don't I go into the mountain to see if I can find water, and by the way, I can scout the way for everyone first, what do you think?"

What's so good about this? The tribe leader was overjoyed. He grabbed Li Yaoguang's hand excitedly and thanked him repeatedly. Not only that, he directly selected a dozen smart and strong men in the tribe, including Uncle Yin, and asked them to go with Li Yaoguang.

Before leaving, the clan leader looked at the eleven of them and couldn't help but give them earnest instructions.

"Children, whether or not you can find water is secondary. What matters most is your own safety. Don't be gone for too long, or your family will worry."

"Okay, we've made note of it, don't worry, Chief."

Just like that, Li Yaoguang and his companions set out to find water, carrying drinking utensils and the hopes of the whole village. Along the way, Uncle Yin felt uneasy and couldn't help but come close to Li Yaoguang and ask in a low voice.

"Brother Guang, do you really know how to find dragon points? Can you lead us to water?"

Obviously, this was also a topic of common concern among the group. Even if Uncle Yin's voice was very low, it could not stop everyone's attention.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Yaoguang pointed at the withered forest nearby.

"When I was young, I had a fortuitous encounter and saved an old immortal. The old immortal taught me some skills for a period of time..." This was evolved from the Five Ghosts Moving Technique that fooled my uncle. It is quite magical. "Later, my master passed away. I am not talented enough. I may still be lacking in finding an excellent Feng Shui site, but I believe I have some experience in finding water veins." No way!
It's just relying on the full water in the peace tank in the space.

The people in front of her had no idea that she was talking nonsense. In addition, people believed in ghosts and gods at that time, so after hearing what she said, everyone couldn't help but feel hopeful.

There was a straightforward young man who patted his chest and assured, "Brother Guang, I don't have any other skills, but I have a lot of strength. As long as you can lead us to find water, just give me your orders."

The rest of the people, even Uncle Yin, were frightened by her and nodded in agreement.

Li Yaoguang was very satisfied with this attitude, but he was also sincere in looking for it.

If it can be found, the water in the space can be left to save lives again.

With this in mind, she quoted the lines from Ghost Blows Out the Light, looked at the mountains in front of her, shook her head and muttered, "Looking for dragons and dividing gold, look at the mountains, each layer of entanglement is a level of difficulty..."

Seeing her pinching her fingers and chanting incantations, everyone pricked up their ears and nodded secretly: "Yeah, looking at this, Guang Ge'er is a capable person. This water must be stable."

Uncle Yin also felt relieved, and the curve of his lips could not be stopped. Seeing the voices of the young people around him getting louder and louder, he could not help but shout, "Shut up, don't disturb Brother Guang's distraction!"

Everyone quickly covered their mouths, leaving only a pair of eyes staring at the man who was talking nonsense.

Li Yaoguang had a big headache, but fortunately she was not completely clueless. She had no real ability to be a charlatan, but she could find water. You didn't watch Bear Grylls and Democrat for nothing, and survival shows were not for nothing. It is said that people go to high places and water flows to low places. If you want to find water during drought, you naturally have to find the lowest land, shaded and sheltered places. In addition, you have to follow the direction of the original water veins to find water easily. Li Yaoguang relied on the experience learned from later generations, muttered in his mouth, and led people to continue moving forward, focusing all the factors in the land together for analysis and observation, climbing over mountains and ridges, and finally found a dry stream after searching for more than two hours and their legs were weak from exhaustion.

However, the stream was mostly made of bluestone and sand, and was dry and charred. It was extremely difficult to jump in and dig it out personally. Li Yaoguang decisively gave up this place and led his men to continue down the stream. Finally, when the setting sun was shining on the mountains and forests, they climbed down a rugged slope and went down to the heart of a mountain stream. They saw a pool of water that should have been formed by the impact of the waterfall.

Unfortunately, the pond had dried up at this moment, with only gravel exposed at the bottom and no water at all. The people who followed were filled with disappointment when they saw this, but Li Yaoguang did not stop there.

Because she discovered that this place was blocked by steep mountains on both sides, it was a shady place, and there was a pond of water accumulated over the years, so there might be water underneath.

Li Yaoguang walked forward happily and squatted, feeling around along the cliff wall where it touched the ground.

Uncle Yin felt bad when he saw this, thinking that Guang boy had a hard time too, and he might have gone crazy trying to find water for them. He felt a pang of bitterness for no reason and couldn't help but step forward to pull Li Yaoguang to persuade him.

"Guang boy, Guang boy! It's okay. It's okay if you can't find it. If it doesn't work today, there's always tomorrow. Don't be like this. It hurts your uncle..."

Li Yaoguang's mind was not on this at all. He threw the handful of soil in his hand back to the ground, interrupting Uncle Yin's concern behind him, and decisively pointed to the place under his feet and said to Uncle Yin and the others: "Uncle Yin, hurry up, call everyone over, we will start digging from here."

Everyone...

"Brother Guang?"

"Have you found water?"

Li Yaoguang: "I'm not sure, but the soil here is obviously wetter than other places, and this place is in the shade. If there is water, it's probably only here. Anyway, we have to give it a try first. What do you think?"

So what are you looking at? Go get some work done!

Uncle Yin spat into his hand without saying a word, snatched the only two hoes from the young man next to him, called Li Yaoguang, and started digging with his arms swinging.

Seeing this, the others nearby came to their senses and started to work together with the man holding the hoe.

It’s okay for the rest of the people who didn’t bring any tools. They brought axes and machetes, and were reluctant to waste them on digging the soil. Couldn’t they have cut a few suitable wooden shovels to use?

Li Yaoguang didn't even need to assign any more tasks. The young men who came with him all started working together and began building at the place Li Yaoguang pointed.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. They are all men who are used to farm work. No matter how thirsty or tired they are, they are full of energy because they have a big carrot hanging with life-saving water. Gradually, a two-meter square pit is formed. They go down half a meter, one meter, three meters, five meters...

In the quiet mountain stream, they lit up their homemade simple torches. The people digging the pit inside were no longer visible. Only more and more soil was blown out, and the people waiting outside were responsible for pushing the soil away.

Li Yaoguang was anxious. She secretly checked the time, and told herself to wait, just wait, for one hour, just one hour. If she still couldn't find water after an hour, she would send everyone away and do something with this big pit.

Just as I was thinking about this, suddenly, there was an unusual sound when a shovel of dirt that was lifted up from the pit fell to the ground.

Heavy and dull, yet lingering.

Realizing something, Li Yaoguang took a closer look in the light of the torch. He was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped the man who was about to pry away the shovel of mud. He then pounced on the man, grabbed a handful of mud in his hand and looked at it carefully.
