Mystery Leaks

Chapter 94 Digging a Well
"Hmph, Meng Lei, I'd like to see how you refuse today." Tu Hu walked up to him, crossed his hands and sneered.

"Everyone listen to me!" Tu Bao shouted standing on the roof of the car, and said, "The water source was decided to be requisitioned by the village after research and discussion. Now it belongs to everyone. There is no need for Meng Lei to nod. Come with me. Take advantage of the coolness in the morning, dig water!!"

As soon as a few words were prodded, the crowd immediately became enthusiastic. They responded to Tu Leopard's call to go to dig water immediately, and gave way to agricultural vehicles one after another, trying to pass things out.

"Boss Meng, look at this..." Uncle Liu looked puzzled.

When Guo Chao saw it, he put the money into my hand anxiously, and said, "Meng Lei, you guys are in a hurry, you can't do it like this."

"To shut up!"

I was so disturbed that my brain hurt, and I yelled: "Who said I don't want to dig!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and they all looked at me inexplicably. The three brothers of the Tu family exchanged glances, and the sneer on their faces froze.

"Since you agree, why are you tearing up the sign?" Guo Chao asked puzzled.

"What are you doing, look at those three people!" Cao Nan yelled, pointing at the three brothers of the Tu family and said, "That's Leizi's enemy, what do you want to do by dragging the enemy down to Grandpa Leizi's grave to make a fuss?"

"I have one condition!"

I took over the conversation and said: "I must preside over the matter of digging the well. I will provide all the materials for digging the well privately. I will not bother the village and the village. How far the three brothers of the Tu family will go, otherwise I will have to see who Dare to touch my Meng Lei's things."

At this time, the momentum must overwhelm these people, don't be cowardly!
Otherwise, it will be difficult to speak when there is any disagreement.After all, no one knows what's going on in Taoshulin, and it's hard to tell if grandpa's grave is dug up.The last time the python made such a big commotion inside, the soil layer below might have been misplaced.

As soon as these words came out, everyone whispered, but the faces of the three brothers of the Tu family darkened.

"Then... what about the compensation?" Guo Chao was puzzled.

I pushed the envelope back, "You send the money back to the village, I don't want it, I personally pay for the land, it counts as a reputation."

This money was given by the mastermind behind the three brothers of the Tu family, so they cannot ask for it, otherwise they will give him an excuse to intervene.

"Uncle Liu, do you think you can agree to this?" I looked at Uncle Liu.

"Promise, promise, as long as Boss Meng lets us fetch water, everything else is easy to talk about." Liu Bogong nodded quickly.

"You really believe it!" Seeing that the situation was about to get out of his control, Tu Hu jumped out immediately, and said to the crowd: "He is empty-handed now, and he doesn't have a water pump, cement, sand, or anything. When he is ready, your rice will be ready soon!" It's gone."

"Bullshit, my Cao family has a diesel water pump. It's ready-made. It has more horsepower than yours!" Cao Nan immediately snapped back.

I also said: "My third uncle is a mason, you have as many materials as you want, and I have what you don't have."

"you!!"

When Tu Hu heard this, his face turned red immediately.

"Do you still want to do something?" Cao Nan immediately stood beside me and said to the crowd, "Meng Lei's character is obvious to all over the years. Do you want to believe in Leizi, or the three mad dogs of the Tu family?"

At this point, the scene suddenly turned upside down. Although no one spoke, the eyes of the three brothers of the Tu family were faintly repulsed.The three brothers of the Tu family had some appeal because they brought machines and materials. Once they were replaced, they would immediately be rejected by everyone.

Nobody likes working with mad dogs unless absolutely necessary.

"You can go." Someone in the crowd suddenly said.

"Boss Meng has spoken, you are no longer needed."

"hurry up."

"..."

Soon some people agreed, some hid themselves from talking, and some were bold enough to drive people away in front of their faces.

Although everyone in the village is afraid of the three brothers of the Tu family, there are no distinctions between them. Those who do business on the street must be afraid. If you can bear it, bear it, otherwise you won't have to open the door to welcome business in the future.

But the peasants who farm the fields are different. Many of them gather together, and next door are the children of uncles. The three brothers of the Tu family will not provoke them no matter how ruthless they are.

For example, the Feng family, if they dared to go to Fengjia Bay to make trouble, they would definitely go in standing up and come out lying down.

Even Liu Bogong said: "Tu Da, since Boss Meng doesn't accept you, then I won't bother you, thank you."

This is said to be polite, but it is actually driving people away. The humble Uncle Liu hates these three mad dogs from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay! You...you!!" Tu Hu blushed furiously, gritted his teeth, pointed at everyone and me and said, "If you dare to play tricks on our three brothers, wait for me!"

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand furiously, and drove away in a farm vehicle with the equally furious but helpless Tu Xiong Tu Bao.There are many people with great strength, and they dare not make mistakes at all, otherwise they will drown them with one mouthful of saliva.

"Who doesn't know how to talk harshly, so I can leave!" Cao Nan said loudly.

I laughed, the three brothers of the Tu family thought that they could lead people to dig the peach blossom forest in an open and aboveboard way when their conspiracy was realized, but they didn't expect that I followed the trend and kicked them out.

Then, Cao Nan invited everyone to go to his house to move the diesel engine and water pump. Everyone cheered and followed happily.I took some people to my third uncle's house and asked for some tools to open wells.

The third uncle went to work, and my aunt was at home. There was a large shed next to his house for storing tools, and there were all kinds of tools.

At the beginning of the sun, we gathered in the peach grove. I first burned incense paper and bamboo horses for my grandfather, and Liu Bogong also brought everyone to burn incense for my grandfather.

After the sacrifice, Cao Nan and I picked the biggest water hole and started digging. All the people were very motivated, and they dug a hole three times and two times.

Surprisingly, there was no trace of the well until it was dug down more than one meter, but the water gushing out was getting bigger and bigger.

"It seems that Grandma Qiu is right. There were frequent floods in the village in those years." Cao Nan analyzed.

I nodded. After the waterlogging, the land is covered with ocean. After the water recedes, a lot of sediment will be deposited. If there are too many times, the wellhead will be raised.

The pit was dug deeper and deeper, and it became bigger and bigger. It was a full two meters deep. With a sound of "jumping", a man dug into something hard and sparked.

The hoe was pulled again, revealing a piece of blue marble under the soil layer.

"Dug it, there is really a well!"

"Quick, quick, dig!"

"..."

The crowd immediately cheered, the pit couldn't accommodate so many people, and many people were urging beside them.

The location of the spring was obviously not dug, and what should be dug should be the bluestone slab on the edge of the well, and the well head is still in the thick soil.So the crowd immediately dug towards the side, and others dug trenches to drain the water that had accumulated deeper and deeper.

Half an hour later, an ancient well surrounded by bluestones was cleared out. The well mouth was about the size of a jar, and several bluestone slabs were pressed on it. The gurgling well water was flowing out from the cracks in the bluestone slabs.

"It's not filled, it's covered!" Cao Nan said.

I nodded, it really can't be considered as filling, it should be said to be sealed.The soil layer is higher than the wellhead. Grandpa just covered the wellhead with bluestone slabs, and then filled the top with soil, but did not fill the bottom of the well.

This is not filling the well, but sealing the well. Grandma Qiu obviously didn't know the truth, and what's even more strange is that my grandfather didn't even make any excuses.

"Quickly, quickly, lift the stone away!" Guo Chao greeted, he was the captain of the production team, and Arita was naturally here.Several men immediately carried the bluestone slab away, exposing the mouth of the well, which was full of water from a well.

Everyone was overjoyed. If there is a well, it is much easier than digging a well, and it is full of water, which is still flowing out.Cao Nan and I squeezed down immediately, and the well was indeed a Suolongjing, just as Grandma Qiu said.

An iron chain as thick as a small bowl extends from the mouth of the well, and one end is wrapped around the stone pillar. On it are engraved with three crooked characters like earthworms crawling: Lock Longjing.

It is Qin Zhuan, which is exactly the same as the eight characters in the tomb on the mountainside, and the characters on the temple plaque of that temple are also the same.

"Hey, what is this iron chain for?" Someone grabbed the iron chain curiously, shook it, and then pulled it up vigorously.

"You can't pull it, it's a dragon rope!" Suddenly, an extremely familiar low shout sounded from behind.

Cao Nan and I hurriedly turned our heads, and there were two people standing behind, one with yellow hair and one with a sesame seed face, both of whom were quite recognizable.

Huang Mao and Hu Lai!
