Chu Qingzhi then went to the Xu Village where she also successfully found a water source and received ten taels of silver. However, Chu Qingzhi really had nowhere to put the things given by the villagers, so she did not take any.

When she arrived at the third village, it was time for lunch. The village chief treated her warmly and made a table full of good food to entertain her.

The water issues in five of the six villages were perfectly solved.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi was walking towards the sixth village, Zhou Village.

Village Chief Zhou was the oldest among all the village chiefs, but he was only in his early sixties and was very healthy.

He had seen Chu Qingzhi’s ability and admired her whole-heartedly. “Miss Chu, if it weren’t for you, we really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and waved her hand. “I’m just doing the little things 1 can do to help everyone.”

Village Chief Zhou couldn’t help but ask curiously, ‘Miss Chu, do you know anything about feng shui?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “I’ve learned it before, but I’m not a master.” She had dabbled in many things, but she did not learn in depth because she did not have that much time.

Village Chief Zhou felt that Chu Qingzhi was being humble. “If you are not a master, then I guess no one is. You can accurately find the water vein every time. No one is better than you.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Village Chief Zhou, you’re flattering me.”

Village Chief Zhou admired Chu Qingzhi even more. She was capable and kept a low profile. In this day and age, such a person was rare.

As they walked along the mountain and turned a corner, they suddenly heard a commotion.

“Put out the fire!! Put out the fire!!!”

“Dang, dang, dang! Everyone, put out the fire!!!”

“Put out the fire, put out the fire!”

The Zhou Village was also surrounded by mountains. At this moment, a small mountain not far from the village was emitting thick smoke. Accompanied by the crackling sound of trees burning, it sounded like a death warrant to everyone’s ears. The raging flames devoured everything in the surroundings and gradually expanded in all directions…

Village Chief Zhou’s expression changed drastically. At this rate, the entire village would be burned to the ground in no time.

He rushed back to the village like a gust of wind to take charge of the situation. “Hurry up and take out all the water in our house to put out the fire.”

Everyone had already taken out the little water they had at home, but it was a drop in the bucket. There was no way to put out the fire.

A cry for help suddenly came from the top of the small mountain. “Help, help…”

This was the voice of the children in the village. There were often children who went up the mountain to play. Today, they were unlucky and were trapped by the wildfire.

Chu Qingzhi naturally would not sit back and do nothing. She flew up the mountain like a beautiful butterfly. At the same time, she sent a voice transmission with her spiritual power. “Village Chief Zhou, get everyone to bring a hoe to the foot of the mountain and wait for me. I’ll bring you to extinguish the fire.”

These words were accurately and clearly heard by everyone. Then, the entire village seemed to have pressed the pause button. Everyone looked at Chu Qingzhi, who was flying towards the small mountain.

“Did a fairy descend to the mortal world?”

“I think I saw a fairy?”

“A fairy came to save our village.”

Everyone had different thoughts, but they all thought that they had seen a fairy and were stunned.

The village chief had seen Chu Qingzhi display her abilities several times and knew what she was capable of. He shouted excitedly, “Hurry up and do as Miss Chu says! Hurry up!”

The village chief’s shout pulled everyone back to their senses. With someone in charge, everything was soon in order.

However, the villagers who were running to the foot of the mountain with hoes were filled with doubts. Shouldn’t they use water to extinguish the fire? How could they extinguish the fire with hoes?

Chu Qingzhi flew to the top of the mountain and was about to bring the two children down the mountain when she suddenly smelled blood.

She immediately spread out her divine sense and found a carriage about ten meters away. The carriage seemed to have fallen from the mountain and was shattered. A horse was lying on the ground with blood flowing out of its nose and mouth. A coachman was lying on the side with blood all over his body. There was also a person in the carriage whose life and death was unknown.

She retracted her divine sense and brought the two children to the carriage.

The coachman was dead. The horse was still breathing. The person in the carriage was still breathing and could hold on for a while.

She immediately picked up the two children and flew down the mountain. She could only save two people at a time. After saving the children, she would come back to save the others.

When the villagers saw that the children were saved, they thanked Chu Qingzhi profusely.

Village Chief Zhou walked up to Chu Qingzhi. “Miss Chu, how should we put out this fire?”

There was a lack of water in the village and there was a fire. He didn’t know what to do.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Everyone, listen to me. It’s no longer realistic to put out the fire now. The only thing we can do is to clear everything that’s flammable in the surrounding area. When there is nothing to burn, the fire will stop on its own.”

The villagers were not stupid. They quickly understood what she meant, so they did not delay any longer. All the people immediately took action.

Chu Qingzhi flew back to the mountain. The scorching heat swept over her body. Coupled with the sunlight, she had the illusion that her clothes were about to burn.

She went straight to the carriage. The bottom of the carriage was already dyed red with blood. It was a shocking sight. With a wave of her hand, she completely destroyed the swaying carriage. The person in the carriage was revealed. It was a young man in exquisite clothes. He was unconscious and his face was pale.

Chu Qingzhi carried him and flew down the mountain. Immediately, people came over.

A warm-hearted auntie said, “Miss Chu, quickly carry him to my house. 1 have an empty room to let him rest.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Auntie, please lead the way.”

The auntie’s house was not far. It was only a few steps away. She placed him on the bed. The man’s breathing was weak. He had lost too much blood and could die at any time.

Chu Qingzhi injected some spiritual energy into the man’s body to protect his heart. She would treat him after she saved the horse.

“Auntie, don’t touch him. I’ll be back soon.”

Chu Qingzhi flew back to the mountain again. The fire was getting stronger and stronger. When the horse saw the fire approaching, tears flowed out of its eyes and it let out a low neigh of sorrow and despair…

Chu Qingzhi circulated her spiritual energy to her arms, picked up the horse, and flew down the mountain.

She placed the horse under the big tree in the auntie’s courtyard and pressed her hand on the horse’s stomach. She injected her spiritual power and an invisible white barrier immediately enveloped the horse.

This horse was even more injured than the man. Not only were its internal organs displaced, but they were also damaged.

The auntie walked over and asked with concern, “Miss Chu, are you going to treat the horse?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Auntie, can you help me boil some hot water?”

“Of course, I’ll go right away.” The auntie went to the kitchen to boil water without hesitation.

After Chu Qingzhi temporarily stabilized the horse’s condition, she came to the room.

The man’s heart was protected, so his life was temporarily out of danger.

However, his hands and legs were broken, and two of his ribs were broken. One of them had pierced into his lungs. In this era, even if he was brought back, he could not be saved..
