Chapter 25  

Zhao Xiuhua’s face turned pale. If she was chased away, her ending would be miserable.

Zhou Qingzhong stood in front of Zhao Xiuhua. “I think you’re the one who should be chased away. Chu Qingzhi, if you can find a water source, I’ll go by your surname from now on.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Do you even know how to write my surname?”

Zhou Qingzhong’s face immediately turned red. He had never gone to school before, so how could he write?

At this moment, the village chief said, “Chu Qingzhi, if you can really find a water source, I can promise you that.”

Compared to the entire village, Zhao Xiuhua was nothing.

Zhao Xiuhua staggered as fear overwhelmed her. “No, Village Chief, you can’t promise her that…”

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Zhao Xiuhua, hoping that she would remember this lesson and be kinder in the future. “Follow me.” After saying that, she turned around and walked straight ahead.

Tang Jinghong caught up and walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side. “Little girl, can you really find a water source?” Chu Qingzhi had a good impression of Tang Jinghong. “Get a few people to go back with you to bring the tools to dig out the water source.”

Tang Jinghong said without hesitation, “I believe you.” Then, he stopped and called a few people to get the tools.

Chu First chased after Chu Qingzhi worriedly. “Fifth Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled at him confidently. “Brother, it’s fine. Don’t worry.”

Zhao Xiuhua nudged Zhou Qingzhong and urged, “Son, go and keep an eye on Chu Qingzhi.”

“Okay.” Zhou Qingzhong followed everyone.

When the cold wind in the ancestral hall blew on Zhao Xiuhua, she couldn’t help but shiver. This place was spooky. She scurried away.

Finding a water source was easy for Chu Qingzhi. She observed her surroundings and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a bush that was very lush. It was very different from other places.

Chu Qingzhi picked up a rock and placed it in the middle of the grass. “This is where the water source is. Dig it.” Everyone felt that Chu Qingzhi was playing with them. Their eyes revealed doubts. Would there be water in this place?

The village chief was also in disbelief. “Chu Qingzhi, are you sure there’s water here?”

Chu Qingzhi said casually, “You’ll know when you dig it up.”

Coincidentally, Tang Jinghong came over with a few people with hoes and other tools.

Chu Qingzhi took two steps back. “Dig.”

Tang Jinghong removed the grass and started digging with the hoe. Everyone stared at the ground intently.

Now that the river had dried up, if there was no water, what would happen to them in the future?

Fortunately, the soil was moist, which gave everyone hope. Zhao Xiuhua, who was hiding behind the crowd, clenched her clothes and thought to herself, “Did Chu Qingzhi really find a water source?” This made her panic.

Chu Second walked to Chu Qingzhi’s side and intertwined her hands. Chu Second was also very nervous. If Chu Qingzhi could not find a water source, she would definitely be ostracized in the village in the future.

Chu Qingzhi patted Chu Second’s shoulder and said confidently, “Second Sister, believe me.”

Chu Second nodded. “Qingzhi, how did you know there was a water source here?”

Chu Qingzhi stretched out her finger and pinched at her eyes. “I can see through the ground. Do you believe me?”

Chu Second definitely didn’t believe her. “Don’t joke around. How can you know this legendary ability?”
