Farmers Can't Appear Out of Thin Air

According to the hint, as long as one walked three miles north of the small courtyard, they would discover that small stream.

Zong Shen rode his old traveling horse forward at a constant speed. In just six to seven minutes, he saw the stream.

Although it was a small stream, the entire surface of the stream was about 10 feet wide. The current was a little rapid, but the water was not deep.

Zong Shen dismounted and came to the stream.

The stream was very clear. As the water was running, it was not muddy. One could clearly see the pebbles at the bottom of the stream.

He looked upstream.

He discovered that this stream flowed from the northern side, from the distant mountain forest.

It flowed from the north to the southwest.

He recalled that the system had previously indicated that there was a lake in the southwest direction. Presumably, this stream should be one of the water sources that the lake had gathered.
