On the edge of the hill is a large plain, Shiva and his tribesmen turned over the soil on the ground with shovels, it is understood that they are going to plant some cassava, oats, corn, melon, kapok, flax, radish, cabbage, winter melon and other rich plants, so the industrious dwarves on this hill can live a very rich life in the future.

In addition, Stern also found an important problem, that is, in order to prepare food, the dwarves need someone to be responsible for fetching water on the river far east of the hill, and the time spent on fetching water is much more than preparing food every day, which is a waste of time in Stern's opinion, and he thinks that he can find a place near this hill to dig a well, so as to bring greater convenience to everyone's life.

He was going to take a look around the hills, which were located in the northeast of the island, with plains and hills, and the terrain was relatively flat, and there were no mountains nearby, so it would be relatively difficult to find a place with groundwater, but he would have to investigate it himself to get the results.

Stern came to the back of the hill after circling the hill for a long time, at this time he was about to return to the original point of departure, which was located at the intersection of the two hills, and the careful Stern found that there were many plants suitable for growing at the water's edge, such as wolf's tail grass and cattail, indicating that there was a groundwater accumulation here, and since he had found a suitable place to dig a well, Stern no longer stayed, and began to go home.

The way back was not far, and at a normal pace of walking, it took Stern ten minutes to get back to the foot of the hill where he had set out, and it was lunchtime, and Stern and Higg got together to make a hearty lunch of wine, meat, and vegetables.

Today Higg was making a chainsaw according to Stern's method, and before he set off to build a boat on the seaside, Stern put forward his thoughts, and he came to Higg and said to him: "Uncle Higg, during the time I have lived here, I have found that the people are not very convenient for drinking water, and they have to walk so far every day to fetch water, so today I went around the hill and found a place near here where there may be groundwater. ”

Higg was immediately interested when he heard Stern say that he had found groundwater, "Brother Andy, you said you found groundwater?"

"It's on the back of a hill not far from here," said Stern, who led Higg to the place, "You see that this place is very different from other places, there are many plants here that grow much more luxuriantly than other places, like this wolf's tail, cattails only grow where there is water."

Higg felt that it made a lot of sense when he heard this, and said, "This place is indeed different from other places, if there is really water, then our dwarves' long-standing drinking water problem can be solved." Stern continued: "Then let's arrange for some men to dig wells here before we go to the sea to build a ship." Higg nodded, "Then I'll arrange for someone to come and dig the well now."

Sigg soon called a dozen people and began to dig with shovels and shovels, and it took them more than two hours to dig a small pool three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep, when water kept coming out of the corners of the pool.

The dwarves boiled instantly, and they continued to dig down half a meter, and at this time the water in the pool came out faster, and Higg made everyone climb out of the pool, and all of them gathered around the edge of the pool to watch the water level in the pool get higher and higher, and their hearts became more and more excited, and finally they didn't have to run all the way to the river to fetch water.

"Brother Andy, you have done another important thing for our dwarves, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts, I know you are an aspiring and unusual person, otherwise we would really want to keep you in our dwarves forever, hahaha......" Higg was so happy after solving the drinking problem that he joked with Stern, and the group of people rushed back to the hill and told all the dwarves the good news.

During dinner, Higg was sitting next to Stern, watching Stern finish eating, Higg turned to him and said: "Brother Andy, according to your requirements, the first batch of saws, nails and wooden planers we have made, we have tried it and feel very handy, with these things we have encountered many problems can be solved, now I will take you to see it." Stern nodded, "Okay, then we'll go now." With that, he stood up and followed Higg towards the iron-making cave.

When he came to the cave and lit a gel candle, Stern saw two iron saws, a dozen iron nails, and two wooden planers neatly placed on the ground. He picked up the saw with his right hand and looked at it, although it was not as standard as the saw on the earth, it looked quite hard and firm, and there were two handles fixed with wood at both ends, so there was no discomfort in his hand, and it was quite comfortable.

Stern saw a piece of wood on the side, took it and put it in front of him, put the saw on the wood and pulled it up, "squeak, squeak......" and quickly sawed the wood in half, only to see him nod and express his satisfaction with the two chainsaws.

Stern then took out his axe, split the sawn wood into thin pieces, and then picked up a nail from the ground, "Uncle Higg will lend you a hammer."

Stern stacked the two split planks on top of each other, took the hammer, and said, 'Ding... Ding...' I saw that the iron nail was driven into the wooden plank, and the two wooden planks were firmly fixed, and it seemed that the quality of the nail was also passed, "Uncle Higg, you can make nail models of different sizes according to your needs in the future, such nails should be strong enough for use on the ship." ”

Higg nodded and said, "Yes, we never thought of using this method to make iron nails before, with planks and nails we can make all kinds of tables, stools, cabinets and beds."

Then Stern picked up the split plank and tried to smooth it with a planer, and after a while, he finally smoothed the plank, but the planer was too small, and it took a lot of time to make the wood planer too big, "Uncle Higg, you can make wood planers of different sizes according to different sizes of wood, so you can save a lot of work time" Higg stood aside and nodded approvingly, then I'll continue to modify these tools tomorrow, and after meeting the requirements, we can make a batch first, and then we can set off to find a coastal shipbuilding.

Stern returned to the cave where he was resting after inspecting the shipbuilding tools, and he had removed all the hay from the cave and laid it with the planks he had brought from the cave, and the planks were covered with sheepskins, which he was more accustomed to sleep on, and he hung a canvas at the entrance of the cave so that the wind from outside would not blow into the cave.

In addition to the cave where Stern was, Higg also set aside a cave next to him for his contract beasts to live in, and Ash and Avanti followed Stern to take a little light. After taking off his clothes and rubbing a little blood orchid potion on the wound, Stern slipped into the bed and slept.

The dwarves are busy preparing for shipbuilding these days, and then they need to go to the coast to choose a better place to use as a shipbuilding base.
