Chapter 159 Finding the Water Source
Chapter 159 Finding the Water Source
They continued along the winding mountain road, and every step was extremely difficult.
The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and the stones under their feet made them stumble from time to time. Su Panpan's skirt was scratched in several places by the branches on the side of the road, Erniu's face was covered with sweat and dust, and Shen Ru had blisters on the soles of her feet, but none of them complained.
Su Panpan always paid attention to the surrounding vegetation and thought to herself: Lush vegetation often means there is a water source nearby.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Look, the vegetation over there is more lush. Let's go and take a look." Su Panpan said, pointing in a direction.
Everyone quickened their pace to catch up.
They pushed aside the dense grass and, sure enough, found a clear stream.
Su Panpan's eyes lit up, as if she saw hope.
They followed the stream upstream, hoping to find a larger source of water.
However, after walking for a while, they found that the stream was not big.
They searched several more places, but some had only a little water seepage, some had water sources that were too turbid, and some did not have running water.
They were exhausted by repeated disappointments.
The craftsmen also began to back off.
Craftsman Zhang walked over to Su Panpan and said softly, "Miss Su, it's really hard to find a water source. Why don't we just give up? This toilet doesn't have water, but it can be used."
Craftsman Li also agreed: "Yes, Miss Su, we have been looking for so long, but still have no results. What should we do?"
As Su Panpan listened to the craftsmen's words, her heart began to waver.
She looked at the tired Erniu and Shen Ru, her heart filled with guilt.
Should she really give up? She was in deep turmoil.
Su Panpan's mood plummeted. She sat on the ground in frustration, her eyes filled with disappointment. "How could this happen? Is there no suitable water source?"
Just when they were almost in despair, fate seemed to finally favor them.
When Su Panpan was discouraged and about to go back, they heard the faint sound of flowing water.
Su Panpan's heartbeat instantly quickened, and she quickly ran in the direction of the sound.
Erniu, Shen Ru and the craftsmen immediately quickened their pace and followed behind, with expectant expressions on their faces.
When they passed through a dense forest, they were stunned by the scene before them.
A stream of clear spring water flowed down from the mountain continuously, and the amount of water made them overjoyed.
Su Panpan was so excited that she almost jumped up, tears glistening in her eyes: "Found it! Finally found it!"
Erniu shouted excitedly: "Great! Now the water problem is solved!"
"Wow, really, the amount of water is large enough." Shen Ru also showed a bright smile.
Su Panpan ran forward excitedly, squatted down, and felt the power of the water with her hands.
The craftsmen were overjoyed.
Craftsman Zhang's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief instantly replaced by joy. He rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "Oh my! I didn't expect to find such a good water source! Now our project is finally settled."
Craftsman Li nodded repeatedly, the fatigue on his face swept away, replaced by a flush of excitement. "Yes, this is really great. I've searched so many places before but couldn't find it. I didn't expect to find such a big surprise here."
"It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. With this water source, we can continue to build this house normally." Craftsman Zhao laughed heartily.
"That's good. With the water, we have finally solved this problem. The next thing is to think about how to bring the water down." Craftsman Wang also smiled from ear to ear.
They stood there, quietly watching the rushing spring, their hearts filled with joy and hope.
Then, Su Panpan began to design the water diversion channel.
She used a branch to draw the direction of the aqueduct on the ground and explained to everyone how to use the natural slope of the terrain to guide the water flow.
"We need to dig a channel here to let the water flow down the slope." Su Panpan said, pointing in a direction, his eyes full of anticipation.
Erniu looked at the pattern on the ground, scratched his head and said, "Will this work?"
Su Panpan said firmly: "It will definitely work, but it will require some hard work from everyone."
Shen Ru also nodded in support: "Yes, we must believe in Panpan."
Su Panpan returned to the town happily with Erniu, Shen Ru and the craftsmen.
She couldn't wait to tell everyone the good news of finding the water source.
Su Panpan stood in the center of the house and announced loudly, "We've found a water source! Enough water for our bathroom! And a few craftsmen and I have already designed the water channel. We'll have to work hard on that later."
At that moment, everyone seemed to have pressed the pause button, and then the atmosphere exploded.
Zhao Genlai opened his mouth wide, his eyes wide, and stammered, "This...how is this possible? I said it was not possible before."
"I didn't expect they actually found it." Zhao Gensheng scratched his head, his face full of disbelief.
Zhao Xi was ashamed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Su Panpan.
Aunt Wang covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh my, this Panpan girl is really capable."
"It seems that we underestimated this child." Mother Wang nodded continuously, her eyes full of admiration.
Wang Xierong blushed and said softly, "I shouldn't have questioned her before."
Aunt Liu looked at Su Panpan with admiration: "This girl is amazing. Ambitious children can always achieve great things."
"Sister Panpan is so amazing." Liu Dazhuang scratched the back of his head, blushing and smiling.
Uncle Xiao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "This kid is both brave and resourceful. He's not simple."
The older Li Facai and Uncle Wang looked at each other and saw surprise and relief in each other's eyes.
Li Facai sighed, "It seems that we old bones can't keep up with the ideas of young people."
Uncle Wang also nodded and said, "Yes, this girl taught us a lesson."
The young man Gouzi jumped up and said, "Sister Panpan is awesome! We will follow Sister Panpan from now on."
"Yes, if anyone questions Sister Panpan again, I will get angry with him." Tiezhu, Shitou, and Liu Shunzi also joined in the fun.
They all felt ashamed of their previous doubts, but fortunately Su Panpan didn't seem to take it to heart.
Old man Zhang looked at Su Panpan, his eyes full of admiration: "Little girl, not bad, not bad. I admire you."
The ten masters brought by Old Man Zhang also nodded, and one of them said, "Miss Su really impressed us."
Another master continued, "We must learn more from Miss Su in the future."
Su Panpan looked at everyone's reactions and felt a sense of accomplishment.
Everyone was infected by Su Panpan's enthusiasm, and they trusted her more and more and wanted to do a good job.
