Chapter 259: Chapter 258 Genius, Calculation, There is Water_1

After all, this was the Human Realm, and the Snake King had no peers, so he must have been very lonely.

However...

He Tiantian assumed too much!

The Snake King and the Rotating Turtle had taken a mutual dislike to each other from the start!

Because she was preoccupied, He Tiantian could not sleep, so she began to clean the cave.

Due to her frequent visits with the Snake King, they had accumulated many small tools, pots and pans—it was like a little home.

After tidying up, He Tiantian went to the open area to dig up wild vegetables, discovering that they tasted better than those outside.

Only when the sky started to brighten did the exhausted Snake King and Little Rotating Turtle laboriously return.

Seeing how weary they were, He Tiantian refrained from questioning them right away and asked with concern, "Are you two alright?"

"I’m hungry, I need to drink water." The Rotating Turtle slowly crawled to the spring, opened its mouth wide, and began to drink and filter water.

Initially, He Tiantian was a bit taken aback, but as she got used to it, she really came to think of it as a water filtration device, and she felt much more comfortable.

The Snake King didn’t feel like talking and went straight into the Barrier Space to cultivate.

Seeing that it was getting late, He Tiantian sneaked home, deciding to wait until they had rested before asking.

During the day, Liu Dahai personally brought two provincial experts over to search for water at the only place where the water source was deemed adequate.

With tools in hand, they roamed around the village only to conclude that aside from that spring, no other place in Qijia Village could provide water. A small spring on the mountain was of no use. After drilling holes at different spots in the village, they arrived at a disappointing conclusion: the whole village was built on a massive rock and getting to a water source would require penetrating several dozen meters of solid stone.

He Tiantian had no time to listen to the experts about how to find water; she went to the back mountain to cut grass instead.

When she got to the livestock team, she saw Professor Wang washing clothes.

Only her clothes were slowly being carried away by the creek water, and she had not noticed it at all, but was fixated on the surface of the stream.

He Tiantian hurriedly quickened her pace, took off her shoes and helped fish the clothes back.

"Professor Wang, your clothes floated away; didn’t you see?" He Tiantian asked, "What are you staring at so intently?"

Professor Wang did not answer, but rolled up her trouser legs and got into the water.

"Professor Wang, if you’re looking for something, tell me, and I’ll fish it out for you," He Tiantian reminded her, fearing that the elderly professor might slip and suffer in the water.

Professor Wang still didn’t speak, but reached into the water as if to touch the bubbles rising from the bottom.

He Tiantian was about to support Professor Wang when she suddenly said, "Don’t come down!"

He Tiantian was startled and drew back her leg, but luckily the creek wasn’t deep, and she was on the edge, poised to assist Professor Wang at a moment’s notice.

Professor Wang repeatedly touched several spots where bubbles kept surfacing, mumbling to herself as if possessed.

What on earth was Professor Wang trying to do?

Following Professor Wang’s movements, He Tiantian was astonished to find numerous places along the bottom of the shallow, two-meter-wide creek where bubbles constantly emerged, as if there were holes at the bottom of the stream.

While He Tiantian couldn’t figure it out, Professor Wang finally came out of the water and picked up a sharp rock to write on the flat ground.

It wasn’t writing per se, but calculations.

The complex formulas and symbols dazzled He Tiantian!

Although she recognized some of the numbers, she was completely clueless when they were combined with some symbols.

However, with an expression mixing seriousness and exhilaration, Professor Wang didn’t seem like she was possessed. He Tiantian protected her from falling without disturbing her thoughts.

After all, a genius engrossed in their work is hardly distinguishable from a madman!

About half an hour later, Professor Wang burst into hearty laughter, a sound of deep satisfaction emerging from within.

"Professor Wang, what on earth has happened to you?" He Tiantian asked, fearing she might have really gone mad.

Professor Wang shook her head and said, "I’m fine, I’m just too happy."

He Tiantian looked back at the stream, which, besides a few bubbles surfacing, seemed unchanged and unremarkable!

"Hehe, I’ve found a water source," Professor Wang said gleefully, "go call Village Chief Qi and tell him to bring a few strong young men over, and don’t tell anyone else."

As Professor Wang was currently a sent-down cadre, she didn’t want to take the lead with some matters. Having Village Chief Qi come over and start the digging means that they could talk about the credit once water was found.
