Chapter 674: Check the terrain

Lu Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his handsome face leaned over and smiled: "Or, do you want to do it and then sleep?" ”

Qiao Xiaoru's face turned red, and she hurriedly shook her head: "Don't, don't!" I'm so tired, sleep, sleep! ”

After speaking, he quickly lay down, covered his head, and covered his head.

provoked Lu Zhan to laugh.

This bastard, all meat words are casually pinched, Yuanfang still lay on her that night and sighed with emotion, what to say: "No wonder the brothers used to say that the best things in the world are on women's bodies, women's tongues are fragrant, smooth and soft, and the taste is too wonderful to say!" But this is not the most delicious, the best thing to eat is the two wonderful things on the chest, once you get it, you can't quit, it's really ecstasy......"

This bastard, if you want to say that he hasn't been in the barracks, she doesn't believe it.

For several days, Qiao Xiaoru was wandering outside.

The road was very difficult to walk, with potholes, and in many places the carriage could not go, so I had to walk.

I climbed a lot of stone mountains, and when I stood on the mountain, I had a wider field of vision and could see farther.

The rocky hills were steep, with light grey stone walls outcropping, and clusters of low shrubs and vines growing in places where a little dirt had accumulated.

The soil in this kind of place cannot withstand tall trees, and the soil layer is very shallow, and under the thin layer of soil is hard stones, and the trees cannot take root at all.

These rocky mountains are difficult to climb, and in many places they are so shocking that there is no place to climb with your feet down.

If it weren't for Lu Zhan accompanying him, Qiao Xiaoru felt that he would definitely not be able to climb to the top of the mountain.

It's hard enough to get up the mountain, but it's even harder to get down the mountain.

In modern times, she had seen such news, and it was also on such a stone mountain, there were eleven or twelve-year-old boys who were naughty, climbed high on the mountain to dig birds' nests, but they couldn't get down, and passers-by couldn't save them when they saw them, so they had to call the police and let the police rescue.

There is nowhere to put your feet down the mountain than uphill, and if you are not careful, you may step on the air and then roll down from the top with a grunt.

And this kind of mountain full of stones, if it really rolls down the mountain, it will definitely be lifeless.

On this day, on a high rocky mountain, looking northwest, the water was shining brightly under the sun, and it was a river.

With a width of about three meters, it does not seem that the water is shallow.

If you see such a river elsewhere, it is really nothing, but this is the largest river Qiao Xiaoru has seen in the local area.

In the past three or four days, I have seen some water sources in places with villages and farmland, but they are all small ditches or a developed spring pool, which supply drinking water and production water for the people of the village.

It can only meet the production and life of the local people.

If you want to divert water to the vast barren land, not to mention whether the villagers will pick up their hoes and sickles and fight with you, even if they do, I am afraid that such a small amount of water will have dried up on the road before it reaches the land over there.

And the river in front of you, which can really be called a "river", is different.

Qiao Xiaoru thinks that if the water of this river is quoted from the past, it can solve at least half of the wasteland water.

In the future, dig some ponds to store water, plant more trees to maintain and nourish the water and soil, and in five or eight years, that place will naturally breed its own water source, and use water to nourish the land, and all the wasteland can be developed.

"Dugu Gongzi, you see there's a river there!" Qiao Xiaoru pointed and shouted with some excitement.

Dugu Yuzhang's eyes also lit up, and he said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a big river, if the water of this river can be led over, then there is a way!" ”

Lu Zhan looked at the two people who seemed to be overjoyed a little speechlessly, and asked the guide: "Why is such a big river here, and no one has thought of diverting water?" ”

The guide scratched his head and said, "The water of this river can't get out, just go and take a look." ”

Qiao Xiaoru and Dugu Yuzhang were puzzled when they heard this, but when they took a closer look, they understood everything.

The river looked like it wasn't small, but unfortunately, it didn't go far before it disappeared

In fact, it cannot be said that it has disappeared, but it has been drilled into the ground and has become an underground river.

None of the sections of the river on the ground are suitable for use as aqueducts, either between two mountains and cliffs, or there are several mountains separated from the barren land, and it is impossible to open a canal.

If it is really suitable, it is the back of the big rocky mountain where the river disappeared at the end is suitable, but unfortunately, when it comes to the right place, there is no river anymore.

If the river flows a little longer and flows through this big stone mountain, and a canal is dug on the side of the mountain, a bloody path can be carved out between the stone mountains.

It's a pity -

"What a pity! No wonder! Dugu Yuzhang shook his head and sighed regretfully.

Qiao Xiaoru stared at the behemoth in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "Are there any caves or anything like that on this mountain?" ”

The guide thought for a moment, nodded and said, "There is a hole on the east side, but there is no water in the hole. ”

Qiao Xiaoru snorted and said with a smile: "Let's take a look." ”

In the past few days, the guide has already known that this Qiao lady is a serious person who is not afraid of hard work, such a high stone mountain, she can climb it, and she has to climb to the top of the mountain after two or three hours of panting.

She said to go to the cave and take a look, and he just had to lead the way honestly.

The cave ** is about three meters wide, and the hole is slightly convergent, but it also looks wide.

The depth is not too deep, but it is more than 20 meters to the end.

The cave was dimly lit, the walls were covered with moss, and there were some debris discarded on the ground, traces of a visit, and a burning fire.

Maybe it's passers-by who come in to shelter from the wind and rain, or maybe it's the mischievous children who occasionally come in to play.

But, as the guide said, there is no water source here.

Qiao Xiaoru looked at the two walls of the cave very carefully, stopped at one place, and reached out to touch it.

This patch of moss grew extraordinarily luxuriantly, verdant and dripping, so full that it dripped.

And when her hand pressed it, it was indeed moist and steamy.

Most of this water is soaked from the stone wall.

"Did Mrs. Qiao find something?" Dugu Yuzhang asked when he saw this.

Qiao Xiaoru said: "You see this stone wall, it is obviously much wetter than other places, even if it is not a water source behind this stone wall, I think it is close to the water source." Also, don't you think the air in this cave is very humid? ”

Several people were stunned and secretly looked at the cave.

Dugu Yuzhang said: "Yes, the air in this cave is indeed much wetter than outside. It stands to reason that this can't be ......"

Outside, there is a typical arid landscape of water scarcity, and even if it is cooler in this cave, it is unlikely that there will be so much humidity. There is obviously only one reason for such a large amount of moisture, and that is the proximity to the water source.
