Chapter 41 Good Luck Today
Chapter 41 Good luck today
Jiang Yan looked at the mugwort under her buttocks. She had done moxibustion several times before, and she was very used to the smell. She found the aroma to be strong, but some people couldn't stand the smell.
"It's not just for padding, I have other uses for it. I just like it because it smokes a lot. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't like it!"
"After you finish eating, just follow me with this pile of wormwood in your arms."
Jiang Yan briefly tied up Mugwort and held her in Lin Xi's arms. Lin Xi couldn't smell the smell and was holding back her breath as soon as she touched it, and her face turned red.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
"Just follow me."
Jiang Yan took the lead, and Lin Xi followed behind.
She walked to a place where the soil was slightly moist, circled a place, and asked Lin Xi to pile up the mugwort. When she was waiting for her purse to be filled, she remembered that she didn't have a lighter, and she didn't even bring a lighter.
Lin Xi looked curious: "Mom, why are you touching yourself?"
Jiang Yan looked at the mugwort pile and said, "I didn't bring any fire sticks. I want to burn these mugwort sticks."
Lin Xi immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll light the fire, mother, wait for me!"
With that said, Lin Xi found some hay around, found a piece of rotten and dry wood and a straight stick, squatted next to the mugwort, and began to rub it vigorously.
The stick and hay drilled a small hole into the rotten wood and then rubbed it out to produce fine smoke. Lin Xi blew while exerting force, and soon it started to burn.
Looking at Lin Xi's familiar movements, Jiang Yan knew that this child had been doing this all the time. She looked relieved. It would be great to have a son who could drill wood to make fire, which invisibly helped her save money on buying fire coupons!
"Mom, the mugwort is already burning, what should you do next?"
Jiang Yan looked at the direction of the smoke and waved to him: "Follow me!"
Jiang Yan cut a lot of mugwort, and the mugwort was still relatively fresh. It burned a lot of smoke, and the smoke drifted towards the rocky mountain col.
The two followed the smoke through the rocks, to the side of the mountain, and went all the way down to a smooth stone in the valley. There was a small open space here, with almost no tall trees growing. A large stone occupied almost half of the mountain, and the entire
The great valleys blend together perfectly.
Jiang Yan carefully looked at the surrounding vegetation. There were tall trees and lush grass. She also saw two lone pheasants along the way, and the smoke suddenly started to rise here.
The water is down there!
"Mom! The soil here is so wet!"
Lin Xi shouted with joy. He stepped hard on the wet soil a few times. Like a squeezed sponge, water flowed out and formed a small puddle in the shallow pit left by the footprints.
"The groundwater is here! Third brother, go and call the boss and the others over!"
Lin Xi was as happy as a child weighing more than 100 pounds. He grabbed Jiang Yan's hand excitedly: "Mom! There is water in the mountains!"
At a time when crops are dying, rivers are drying up, and every household in the village is deprived of water, there is actually water in the mountains!
Lin Xi looked at Jiang Yan excitedly, with pious eyes as if looking at his most respected god: "Mom, you are so amazing!"
Jiang Yan patted his head and said with a smile: "Hurry up and find the boss and the others. Let's pack up and get ready to go home."
Lin Xi nodded quickly and ran out of the dense forest to find Lin Dong and the others. Now his mother was the person he admired most, so he would do whatever she asked him to do!
Jiang Yan rubbed the water stains beside the rock. It seemed that this method was really effective, and she actually found the water source.
Water can seep out from the ground, which shows that the groundwater is very rich!
And this water is closer to Linjia Village than she thought. In this way, the drinking water in the village will be solved!
Jiang Yan has a bold idea in her mind. If it can be implemented, at least half of the drought problem in the village can be solved!
The water source was found, and Jiang Yan was relieved of her worries. As soon as she relaxed, the pain in her body hit her from all directions. She found a place to sit down, and thought about her future plans.
Now we just want to see how far it is to go down the mountain from this location and back to Linjia Village.
Tick tock tick.
The water seeped out from the cracks in the stones, dripped on another stone, then flowed to the ground and seeped into the soil.
Jiang Yan waved her hand to shoo away the mosquitoes. As soon as Lin Dong and others arrived, they immediately gathered around the stone col to look around, with surprise in their eyes.
Lin Nan also dipped some water in his hand and put it in his mouth to lick it. His face was full of disbelief and he exclaimed: "Mom! How do you know there is water here? The water tastes weirdly sweet!"
Lin Xi said excitedly: "My mother is so awesome. I used that mugwort seed to burn a pile on the other side of the mountain. As soon as the smoke came out, my mother took me to find it, and then I found water!"
Lin Dong: "Mom, why can Artemisia find water?"
Jiang Yan smiled. Of course she couldn't say that she spent 20 yuan to buy a book and saw other people's success stories.
She said with a mysterious face: "It seems to be luck. I don't know who I heard in the early years. Artemisia can cure diseases. It is also a medicinal material that can remove moisture. A few days ago, I discovered that ordinary hay can be used to burn fire.
After the smoke comes out, the smoke goes upwards, only the smoke from mugwort goes downwards."
"The land in the mountains is moist, and the grass and trees grow very luxuriantly. Mushrooms can also grow. I thought that there should be springs or underground water in the mountains. I burn mugwort in the mountains. If the smoke goes downwards, I will definitely find it in the soil.
In the wet area, the smoke does not rise until here. The land here is also the wettest, and water can seep out when you step on it, so there should be a source of water under the ground, and it can be regarded as a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
It was difficult for Jiang Yan to explain the principle, but she also hoped that her sons could learn something, so she told them in simpler terms that she had never thought about the reason when she used moxibustion. Now it seems that moxibustion is based on
Mugwort has a downward nature.
Lin Xi's face was filled with admiration: "Mom, you think so much! I also want to be like you!"
Lin Dong was also very excited: "Mom, you are so awesome. I just think this mugwort smells very bad. I didn't expect it to be so useful!"
Lin Nan frowned: "Mom, this water is under the ground. Do we have to dig a well here?"
"However, it is also far away from the village. It will take more than half an hour to go back and forth. Even if we have time to carry water back and forth, the trees and grass here are tall and dense, so we still have to open a way out!"
Lin Xi said excitedly: "Mom, it was hard to find water! The wells in the village are almost out of water. Now every household has a rationed water intake. When there is no water, you will have to go to other villages to borrow it. I am the strongest and the strongest! Here we go.
I come to carry water every day!"
Several young men began to discuss how to open roads, how to carry water, and how to dig wells. Each one of them talked about it in a good way!
Apart from digging wells to carry water and cutting down trees to clear roads, they could think of no other way.
