What does 1 Samuel 9:11 mean?

As Saul and his servant were climbing up the hill toward the town, they ran into some young women coming out to get water. They asked the women, 'Is the seer here today?' 1 Samuel 9:11 - Modern Text Bible

(Saul and his servant are searching for the prophet (called a 'seer' back then) and ask some local women for directions. This shows how ordinary and unplanned their journey seems.)
