slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 27 Drilling a Well ([-])

Bringing a trot, I have never seen the old man run so swiftly, far away from the well, Hu Shijie shouted: "What water vapor, what water vapor, Haiwazi is blowing water vapor?"

"Brother, Haiwazi is blowing water!"

Holding a handful of soil, Li Licheng approached Hu Shijie in front of him, his words choked up a little.

Hu Shijie immediately squeezed a handful of soil, and rubbed it lightly. It was obvious that the soil was a little damp, and it didn't crumble like ordinary water, and it was still dry.

This soil is different. Although it is broken when twisted in the hand, some soil dregs can still be seen sticking together. It is obvious that there is water in the soil. Although there is not much water, there is no doubt that there is water.

"Water vapor, it's really water vapor!" Hu Shijie murmured.

"Haiwazi and Ping'an have been fighting for four days, and they finally got angry!" Li Lida said.

After reminding Li Lida, Hu Shijie also quickly came to the edge of the well, and shouted to the Canghai below: "Haiwazi!"

Cang Hai pulled the rope, signaling to the higher-ups to pull up the latest basket of soil.

Pingan knew what Cang Hai meant: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm going to grab the basket!"

As soon as they heard about pulling the basket, everyone moved away one after another. Seeing Ping An urging the clown donkey to move forward, as the clown donkey got farther and farther away from the edge of the well, the basket at the bottom of the well became higher and higher.

As soon as the basket reached the edge of the well, everyone hurriedly pulled the basket aside, and then began to pinch new soil.

steam!

This time everyone was finally sure that there was indeed water vapor at the bottom of the well.

"Haiwazi, come up and rest for a while, let me go down and dig for a while!" Wei Wenkui rolled up his sleeves and shouted towards the bottom of the well.

How could Cang Hai let him come down at this time, so he said to the mouth of the well: "Uncle, I'm not tired yet, I just replaced Ping An, please stay for a while, I think the water is about to come out, by the way, Grandpa Hu Has it come back, has the brick been pulled back? If the brick is pulled back, the well will be drilled, and there will be a layer of bricks to filter, so the water quality may be better."

Now even if Cang Hai said that the sea water is fresh, this group of people believe it, and everyone's heart is full of a sense of happiness. There will be a well in the village soon, and it will be a well with raw water.

"I'm back, I'm back, I brought three carts here, if not enough, I'll go back to town to drag them!" Hu Shijie shouted at Canghai in the well.

"Then you are going to pack a basket!" Cang Hai said.

Hearing what Cang Hai said, Hu Shijie and the others immediately started to get busy. Hu Shijie came back with five or six old men, each driving a cart. It's just a few hundred catties, and the animals can't stand any more.

While everyone was busy unloading and stacking bricks, Cang Hai sent two baskets of new soil to the center of the well, and the soil was already moist.

Seeing this, Hu Shijie asked a group of women to come back after passing the village, fetching water or something is no longer the most urgent task, the most urgent task now is to unload the truck and then stack the well.

After unloading the cars, they entertained the old man who drove the car. After paying the wages, the old man turned around and left. It was far better for them to go home early than to have a good meal in the village. What's more, I have to pull bricks over early tomorrow.

When the latest basket of soil comes up, it's not soil at all, it's just mud, and even a blind person can see the water in the mud.

"Haiwazi, take a break, I'll dig for uncle!" Wei Wenkui couldn't help it.

The work here in Canghai is about the same, the water seeds have already been sprinkled, not to mention that after working in the well for four days, I am already tired and dizzy. Hearing what Wei Wenkui said, he immediately shouted: " Then pull me up!"

Sitting in the basket, Cang Hai felt like he was flying this time, and soon reached the edge of the well.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of the well, Cang Hai felt that he had been dragged out of the basket before he got used to the sunshine outside.

Seeing Wei Wenkui sitting directly in the basket, he quickly said, "Uncle Wei, put on your boots and go down, or the whole village will drink your footwashing water!"

Hu Shijie laughed and said: "Yes, yes, go to my house and get the water tank, you can wear it before you go down!"

Just like that, everyone hurriedly brought the water support, let Wei Wenkui put it on, sat in the hanging basket and slowly put him down.

As soon as he got below, Wei Wenkui shouted happily: "It's raw water, it's already raw water, the water has already reached the edge of the foot!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it!They all stretched their heads to look in, as if they could see through the dark well that was more than ten meters deep.

"Is the water clear?"

Someone shouted down the well.

Wei Wenkui shook his hand, took a sip and said with a big smile, "Qing, it doesn't taste bitter at all, and it still has a hint of sweetness!"

Hearing Wei Wenkui's yell, Li Liren immediately turned around and ran to the nearest house, took each jar and ran back to the well: "Fill some water for us to taste!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pull the rope, waited for the empty basket to come up, put the jar into the basket and tied it down, and when the jar came up again, there was already half a pot of water in it.

A circle of people by the well surrounded the jar, looking at the clear well water inside, they forgot to drink it for a while, and just stared at it for several minutes, and everyone who watched had red circles in their eyes.

"How many years have passed, I never thought that this old well could really pump water!" Hu Shijie said while wiping away tears.

Li Liren also wiped away his tears: "Yes, yes!"

At this time, Li Licheng picked up the jar and took a sip of water from the mouth of the jar.

Everyone looked at Li Licheng one after another, their eyes were full of inquiries.

"Delicious, delicious, sweet, really sweet!" Li Licheng said.

As soon as they heard the sweetness of the water, everyone came back to their senses and drank it one after another. Everyone wiped their mouths and shouted sweetness loudly after taking a sip of water.

At this time, Wei Wenkui's voice came from down the well: "I can't dig anymore, the water has already reached my feet!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Shijie immediately shouted, "So fast?"

"He's still alive, and I don't know if Haiwazi has dug into an underground river vein!" Wei Wenkui roared.

Upon hearing this, Hu Shijie immediately made up his mind: "Down the brick, down the brick, hurry up and down the brick! Don't go down alone, go down with two people!"

In this way, a fast brick was transported to the mouth of the well by the women, and Hu Shijie himself replaced it with a water support, and went down to the bottom of the well in a basket.

The bricks in the well don’t need cement or sand, they just need to be surrounded in circles like this, so the two of them surrounded it very quickly, but the two of them surrounded it quickly, and the well water was not slow to grow, and it arrived soon. The calves of the two of them didn't look good, Hu Shijie asked them to come down one by one, so that the three were almost squeezed together.

However, because of the water, the big guys worked in full swing, and suddenly forgot the biggest hero, Cang Hai.

At this time, Cang Hai looked at the villagers in Busy Hai, and the strain on his body disappeared all of a sudden, and he looked at the busy and smiling people with a smile.

Cang Hai can understand the feelings of the villagers. For Chinese farmers who are full of farming talents, they can dig food out of even the barren land with only water.

Three people work at the bottom, and a group of people above help. The belly of the well has been built in two hours. After the belly of the well is built, the diameter of the well cannot accommodate three people. So, two people came up to hang the baskets, and the person squatted in the baskets to build them. As for the bricks, three or five pieces were hung down together with ropes.

I have been busy working from noon until dark at night, and the Jingjing side has only completed more than half of it.

"Continue to build, even if it is until tomorrow, we must build this well!" Hu Shijie waved his hand.

Everyone is not in the mood to eat at all now, and no one feels hungry at all. Naturally, no one mentions cooking. Everyone is focused on building the well.

"Uncle, the well water has already filled the well!" Wei Wenkui shouted happily.

Hu Shijie laughed loudly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, okay!"

The three voices in a row not only represented Hu Shijie's voice, but also represented the voices of everyone in Jingyankou.

The only ones who feel hungry are Ping An and Cang Hai. Ping An is stupid, and he will be hungry when the time comes. Cang Hai knows that everything is in his plan, but they don’t eat, and they have no choice but to squat I waited stupidly.

The electric light by the well was picked up. The villagers who were reluctant to use electricity, now directly hung a [-]-watt light bulb, which illuminated the surroundings brightly. Everyone had smiles on their faces and listened to the reports of the people in the well from time to time. , Where did the well water come from?

Hearing that the well water is half full and the Jing Jing is still rising, Cang Hai understands that his house is a little too big, and the water in the space is a little bit too much.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the well was finally built.

So a group of people smiled and surrounded the newly built brick well, as if there was some treasure in it.

At this time, a ray of moonlight came down and just fell into the well. The clear well water seemed like a mirror, reflecting a bright moon in the sky onto the water.

"It's so beautiful!"

I don't know who made an exclamation.

"Right!"

A group of men and women nodded one after another, and no one felt that what he said was wrong.

Cang Hai couldn't stand these people any longer, so he opened his mouth and said, "Everyone just watch, fetch water, there won't be any water in the well, everyone will drink the water with sand in it tonight?"

Everyone immediately said: "Yes, right!"

Hu Shijie waved his hand and said, "Kill the chicken tonight! The sheep at home is also slaughtered. Everyone has a good meal. It's a greeting to Haiwazi. This bastard is indeed educated in the city. The pharaohs in the county are much better, if they hadn’t said that there would be no more water coming out of the well, would we have suffered for so many years?”

"Right, right!"

Everyone agreed after hearing it.

Cang Hai got a black line on his forehead when he heard that, because what he said was right, if Cang Hai hadn’t brought space, the well would have opened up the loess layer to get water.It's a pity that this can't be said, not only can't say that Cang Hai has to echo the voices of the villagers.
