Chapter 287 It’s indeed a hot spring!

Even at Qiao Ran's speed, it took almost a stick of incense to reach the other side of the valley.

There is no road here, and there are no traces of anyone coming here.

The valley converges here, and further ahead are two large mountains that almost merge together. The high mountain walls on both sides squeeze into a gap in the sky less than a foot wide in the middle. I don't know what is going on on the other side.

In the gap between the sky and the sky, there is a stone surface covered with a lot of gravel and a lot of slippery moss. There is a stream about four feet wide flowing from the other end. The stream is gurgling and flowing into the valley.

Qiao Ran walked to the stream, squatted down, took a handful of stream water and took a sip.

This mountain spring water gushes out from nowhere. It is clear and clear, and the entrance is cool and sweet. Although it is not as good as the spiritual spring water in my own space, it is much better to drink than ordinary distilled water and purified water.

Qiao Ran was very curious as to where this mountain spring and stream originated. Did it emerge from the ground or from the mountain wall?

If it weren't for exploring the terrain around the valley, Qiao Ran would have really wanted to walk along the line of sky and see what the other side of the line of sky looked like, and if she could find the source of the stream.

It's just that this line of sky seems to be very long, and there are corners. I can't see the other side. I don't know how much time it will take.

We can only talk about it next time. There are still many places worth exploring in this new destination.

Qiao Ran planned to have someone dig a ditch here to bring the spring water to the village for drinking, and then dig one well at most, which would be enough for one village.

She began to explore along the mountainside again from the mouth of the valley where she came from the other mountain.

After walking almost half the distance, Qiao Ran looked down at the valley below and suddenly noticed something strange.

Looking carefully, there is a small pool near the foot of the mountain. The clouds and mist on the water are curling up, making it look like a fairyland.

However, the clouds and mist don't look like miasma, they are very light and misty, really like fairy mist.

And standing on the mountainside, still more than ten feet away from the pool, I could feel a warmth blowing in the wind.

Qiao Ran's heart moved and she immediately walked from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain.

To be on the safe side, she still put on protective clothing and a gas mask.

When I walked to the pool, I saw bubbles in the water.

"Could this be...?"

Qiao Ran felt excited.

If that were the case, it would be a huge profit!

She took out a thermometer from the space and put it into the water to measure it. Oh boy! 58 degrees!

Isn’t this a good hot spring?

She took off her gas mask and sniffed gently to make sure there were no toxins in the air. Then she took off her protective clothing and put them into the space.

Then she put her cold hands into the water, voila! So hot!

It is indeed a hot spring! Now, won’t you be able to take a hot spring bath in the future?

Qiao Ran looked around happily and began to outline a topographic map in her mind. She wanted to make use of this hot spring!

Generally speaking, hot springs range from 30 to 90 degrees, but 40 to 70 degrees is more common. Hot spring water suitable for human body bathing is generally 40 to 45 degrees. Too high or too low is not good.

If the water temperature is too low, you may catch a cold, while if the water temperature is too high, you may be in danger of scalding your skin. It may also cause insufficient blood supply to the organs in the body, and the body may lose too much water, causing symptoms such as hypoxia and dizziness.

This hot spring is 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, which is too hot for a bath.

However, she remembered what she saw when she went to a hot spring resort in her previous life to soak in hot springs. Pipes could be used to divert the hot spring water to other places, and the water temperature could be controlled in the process.

However, the conditions here are limited and there is no need to go far.

She planned to dig two large pools next to this pool, divert the hot spring water into the two pools, and then build walls so that the two pools could be used by men and women respectively.

Qiao Ran couldn't help but feel happy at the thought of being able to soak in hot springs in the near future and every winter in the future.

Sure enough, every time she goes out on an adventure, she always gets something unexpected.

Qiao Ran explored the terrain, drew up a new rural construction map in her mind, and went back happily.

After returning, Chen Huiniang, who was waiting anxiously for her, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ran Ran, why are you back so late? Where have you been? Don't dare to go into the Devil's Valley alone!"

"Mom, don't worry. I didn't break in. I just took a look around the perimeter so that I can mark out the isolation zone for everyone tomorrow."

"Well, it's good that you didn't break in. You are a very aggressive kid, and your mother was afraid that you would act recklessly just because you had the protection of the old god. By the way, your village chief grandpa came here just now. He said that he has notified the whole village and asked everyone to follow you to dig the isolation belt early tomorrow morning. At about noon, he asked Tieniu and Dong'er to go to the intersection outside the mountain and wait for the people from the Yamen to deliver food. .”

Qiao Ran nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'm strong, so I'll estimate the time tomorrow and push our cart to bring back the food."

When Chen Huiniang heard this, she opened her mouth to speak but hesitated. She thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

My daughter is so tough, I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Farmers like them, who work in the fields, naturally want a wife who has a strong personality, a tough body and can work hard.

However, the wealthy families in the city don't like someone who is too tough, but rather someone who is gentle and virtuous.

Chen Huiniang didn't want her daughter to marry a farm man and spend her whole life digging in the fields, leading to a miserable life.

On the other hand, I don’t want my daughter to marry into a wealthy family with too many rules and little freedom. With my daughter’s temperament, she will definitely not be willing to be a virtuous woman with red sleeves, caring for her husband and raising children, and be trapped in a deep house all her life. inside.

Alas, all I can say is, how pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are!

Chen Huiniang was really worried about this eldest daughter!

Qiao Ran had no idea that her mother was already worrying about her future life events.

She took a few sips of warm water, and when she turned around, she saw her fourth uncle on a big rock outside the tent, holding a book whose pages were so worn that it broke when he turned it over, and he was carefully reading through it.

Last time I was in Fucheng, Luoyang, I wanted to buy a set of Four Books and Five Classics for my fourth uncle. Unfortunately, that guy Xin Wuneng messed it up. The book was not purchased, and she, the shopkeeper, and the clerk were all taken to the government office.

Now, Fourth Uncle can only still use those rotten books.

However, she remembered that last time in the backyard of Pingwang Liangpu, she had looted the entire study room into her own space.

There is a complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as many books that contemporary literati like to read, as well as some art of war, travel notes, historical records and so on.
