Chapter 253: Digging a Well

At the same time as the boats were built, more wooden houses were planned.

There was another lively scene inside the tribe.

It's just that the only thing that worries Bai Guoguo is that since the last three days of heavy rain, God seems to have suddenly run out of water and no rain.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and if it doesn't go on in the next few days, it means that there will be no rain for a month and a half.

When there were no ginkgo fruits, everyone relied on hunting to eat fruits, and occasionally came across edible fruits, so they would pick them and eat them, and no one thought of planting what they ate with their own hands.

If you are thirsty, you go to the water source to drink, and there is no filtering or boiling water, and there is no such thing as washing.

So even if it doesn't rain, the impact on them won't be too big.

But now there are more places to use water, such as this one that does not rain for more than a month, which has caused a lot of trouble to everyone's life.

The daily water needs are picked up by manpower, and this is especially true for the water in the fields.

Bai Guoguo wanted to use the warehouse to carry water, but was denied by Chongyi.

"Guoguo, your ability is naturally very useful. But have you ever thought about what if one day you go out hunting with me, or go somewhere else to do something, and you are not in the tribe, then they will have to use water, do you have to wait for you to come back and carry water for them? ”

Heavy Wing's questioning made Bai Guoguo dumbfounded.

She really didn't expect this.

Now that he has been reminded, Bai Guoguo also feels that he is cheating too much, which is not good for exercising everyone and letting everyone develop good habits.

So, people are busy every day.

Busy with the work in hand, but also busy carrying water back.

Seeing that the temperature during the day was getting higher and higher, even if there was artificial watering, those vegetable seedlings and saplings were still listless, and Baiguoguo finally couldn't sit still.

"Heavy Wing, it's not okay to go on like this! Let's try to dig a well ourselves! ”

Bai Guoguo didn't have the tools to dig the well, so she never brought it up.

But nowadays, it is easy to get in touch with the animals in the forest, not to mention the manpower required to carry water.

Water is the source of life, and humans need it, and animals need it.

At times like these, there is a high chance that a fight will arise over a sip of water.

"Dig a well? What is that? ”

Chongyi hadn't heard of this word, so he could only look at Bai Guoguo, waiting for her to answer for himself.

Bai Guoguo couldn't explain it clearly, so he turned over the relevant information of the well and showed it to Chongyi.

For example, in terms of architecture, on the same basis, men's receptivity and understanding are basically better than women's.

Today's Chongyi is no longer the barbarian when Bai Guoguo first saw him, so this kind of thing falls into his hands, and if he studies it for a long time, he will probably understand.

So, at the beginning of the second day, there was another team in the tribe, led by Heavy Wing himself, and began to dig the ground and dig a pit at the center of the tribe.

How to dig wells and find water sources is all theoretical knowledge, and even the most knowledgeable ginkgo fruit in the tribe has no experience.

Therefore, I simply chose the location of the center to dig the well.

Without the help of any external force, he relied on a few men to dig with a shovel and shovel, and spent a lot of time practically.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and two months have passed since the last rain.

The area of the lake at the foot of the mountain has shrunk a lot to the naked eye, and the well in the tribe has been dug for dozens of meters.

In order to facilitate the digging of the well to go up and down, plus to transport the soil, the pit dug by the heavy wing is a funnel type with a wide top and narrow bottom.

Bai Guoguo came to the side of the well pit with a warm pot of smoothie, and shouted below: "Heavy wings, come up and drink water!" ”

A moment later, a response from Heavy Wing was heard from inside.

For more than ten minutes, three men appeared in front of Bai Guoguo covered in dust.

The two men above pulled the three men up, and then several people sat in the shade of a tree not far away.

Bai Guoguo poured the smoothies from the thermos into the bowl one by one and distributed them to the five people.

Nowadays, outside, Ginkgo rarely uses the portable warehouse in person.

Dia's betrayal is a wake-up call for Ginkgo fruit.

Things that are too easy to get are not easy to cherish, and in turn they may get into trouble, so being an ordinary person as much as possible is the best protective color.

"It's a shame that Miss Guoguo insisted on planting the tree back again, otherwise we wouldn't have a shady place to stay at this time."

One of the men wiped the sweat from his forehead and talked about it with a happy face.

When others heard this, they also nodded in agreement.

"Isn't it, if it weren't for Miss Guoguo's insistence, we would really be sunburned."

"It needs your support to do it. Come, have some smoothies to relieve the heat. ”

Bai Guoguo smiled and added some smoothies for everyone, and then came to sit down beside Chongyi.

"What's next? Still nothing happens? ”

Heavy Wing shook his head, then nodded again.

"It's not that it's not unresponsive, the soil below is getting wetter, but it's still a lot worse than coming out of the water."

"It's a good thing that the soil is moist, it proves that there is still water down there." Bai Guoguo said, suddenly paused, and only asked after a moment, "You mean, it's wetter?" ”

"Hmm."

Heavy Wing nodded, and sent a smoothie to his mouth, the cold feeling made his mind calm down a lot.

Bai Guoguo sat aside, touched his chin and thought about it, and a laptop suddenly appeared in his hand.

This kind of operation startled the other four people, but soon everyone calmed down again.

"What do you think of?"

Chongyi saw Bai Guoguo's brows tightly locked, and his fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and he knew that this little woman must have thought of something.

Bai Guoguo shook his head, pursed his lips and did not speak.

After three or two minutes, Bai Guoguo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You can't dig any more soil below!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Chongyi was stunned, and the others also looked at Bai Guoguo in puzzlement.

I saw that Bai Guoguo's face had been replaced with a relaxed smile, and his eyes were still looking at the screen, but the words were said to Chongyi on the side.

"My former teacher used to specialize in far, uh, some of the current soil characteristics, and one of them is the most special soil layer. It is said that as the soil below becomes more and more wet, it will get closer to the water source. At times like these, if the last section of the barrier is dug through, the water will be enough to blow the people who are blocking the entrance to the cave into the sky. But if there is a slight barrier around, then the person is likely to be broken or even crushed by the current. ”

"Hit, smash?"

The faces of the five people changed in unison.

"Guoguo, you mean, if we keep digging down, there's a good chance that this will happen? Crushing people? ”

"Well, it's possible."
