Chapter 370: The Bottom of the Well
Lao Wu said with a cigarette in his mouth that he would go back first, and let his brothers eat while talking to him, and after eating, he went to Dunzi's house to find him, and was ready to start working. They all listened to the story, and they didn't pay much attention to Lao Wu, only the fourth child looked in the direction that Lao Wu left, and waited for Lao Wu to go away, then he turned his head and continued to listen to the nonsense in the blind man, but he was a little absent-minded and didn't listen carefully to the story behind it.
In fact, it was already afternoon, and there were two or three o'clock, and Lao Wu was not slow to walk behind him against the sun, and it didn't take long to get to Dunzi's house, planning to drill the well first, and wait for the brothers to come over and then let them push the cart with the stones on the wall of the well. Everything was thought about very well, and he didn't say anything when he went to Dunzi's house, and the main old Wu was in a particularly low mood, and he raised his hand to touch his back from time to time. That dunzi dad feels very strange, what is this person's habit? Itchy back? But who doesn't have a quirk? The key has nothing to do with them, so I don't pay much attention to it.
Digging a well is the only ability that Lao Wu can do in his life, and before leaving that day, he asked Dunzi to help find a long bamboo pole, cut out a sharp end and then insert it into the ground instead of Luoyang shovel. But this bamboo pole is never a professional tool like the Luoyang shovel, plus the ground in the courtyard has been trampled and precipitated for many years, and the hardness is not much worse than the masonry floor. Lao Wu almost used the strength of the milk, just to be able to insert the bamboo pole into a head, and then no matter what, he couldn't move a bit, thinking that there was a stone underneath, but when he wanted to pull it out, he found that it seemed to be the card owner.
Seeing that Lao Wu was there as if he was driving a pile, and Dunzi was guarding with his father to the side and watching the excitement, but it seemed that Lao Wu was a little powerless. Dunzi leaned over and said, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”
Lao Wu swallowed his saliva and wiped his face and shouted. He pointed to the ground with a bamboo pole and gasped and said, "Hey, you, you are in this yard." Are there still stones underneath? How do you get all the bamboo poles stuck in the owner? I can't plug it in and pull it out now! ”
After hearing this, Dunzi was about to say that he wanted to help, but Lao Wu waited for him to say this, and quickly asked him to help drag it out and change places. But Dunzi shook his head and said that he didn't need to change places, and after he finished speaking, he grabbed the bamboo pole with both hands, and the whole person climbed on the pole like a monkey, and kept moving hard to stop down, and the pole really made him keep going down. Lao Wu also saw this trick for the first time, and used to use a Luoyang shovel to explore the location of the tomb, and the shovel head in front of that thing was semicircular. You can drill down in a circle, and the soil will also come out of the middle, so that it will not be pushed down. But this bamboo pole is different, although the middle is empty, but each section is sealed, the reason why Lao Wu uses the bamboo pole is just to explore the underground water veins, that is, the moisture in the soil. Although it was a little clumsy, it was better to stick the pole a few meters deep into the ground, which was about the same. He pulled out the pole again with the pier, and it took two hours to probe the water veins.
In fact, you don't need to explore the water veins, because there are many rivers in Lushi County, and the groundwater level is relatively high. Basically, if you find a low place and dig a random well, you will definitely be able to produce water, but there are many problems. Therefore, the place to dig the well has to be chosen by Lao Wu, and he said where to fight.
Lao Wu is a little weak today. At first, it was because they were tired of picking up stones, and then they met a group of people who stopped them to ask for explanations. The noisy not only wasted time but also lost the cost of other people's soup and medicine, which is really unlucky to get home, at this time, it is estimated that drinking some well water can plug the teeth. But the most uncomfortable thing for him was the half-truth and half-truth story told by the blind man when he was having dinner with the blind man at noon, and he faintly felt that there seemed to be some things in the story that should be true, and the widow and the paper man made him faintly uneasy, and he felt that it had something to do with the invisible things behind his back, maybe what he was carrying behind his back was the paper man who became after the death of the widow king.
Suddenly thinking of this thing, Lao Wu Meng thought that he had woken up, but when he raised his eyes, he found that his surroundings were very dark, and he was swishing. But when I looked up and saw the hole above, I reacted, it turned out that I had unconsciously knocked down a lot of wells, and the pier pulled the rope on it and slowly put down a bamboo basket, and the mud dug out by Lao Wu was put in a frame for him to pull up.
But after working for so long, Lao Wu is a little strange, it stands to reason that the brothers have already finished eating, why haven't they come to find themselves yet? Didn't this blind man finish talking about it and leave them on the side of the road? Or did they not find a place to circle around the mountains in the village? After thinking about it, Lao Wu still planned to draw the water first, and he couldn't wait for Ming'er to come over and build the well wall, he was confident in his craft, the well wall was dug neatly and strongly, even if there was no well wall, it would definitely not collapse.
For many years, he was alone on the ground and had to dig mud like a mouse, and when he was young, he also had a nickname called Wu Mouse because his father specialized in digging wells for people, and at this time he was a little irritable and shaved the mud, thinking that the mouse would be a mouse, which was much stronger than the potato goblin! But as the soil under his feet became more and more humid, and the air under the ground became more and more cold, Lao Wu suddenly felt that the back of his neck seemed to be blown by someone, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. But Lao Wu is naturally more sensitive, plus he always encounters some inexplicable strange things these days, he faintly feels that something is wrong in his heart, that feeling seems to be very strange, but it is very familiar, as if he had the same feeling at any time, but when he couldn't remember.
Lao Wu was a little absent-minded with a shovel in his hands, but his eyes were wandering around, but what could be in such a big place in the well? It looks like it's a little hairy, and the bottom of this closed, dark and depressing well has always been the place where the yin qi is heavier, and the heavy yin qi will make people have an inexplicable sense of panic, and even ghosts can be seen.
Estimating the depth, Lao Wu Yue touched and then dug down without a meter will definitely be able to get out of the water, this brain began to break out of a cold sweat, he actually wanted to escape from here at this time, the round hole on his head that small piece of bright sky made him extremely yearning, but it was over at a glance, he is not the kind of person who does not do half of the work, and there must be a beginning and an end to doing things, which is the basic of Lao Wu's life. So he suppressed his sense of panic, and thrust the shovel downward, and the shovel suddenly sank into the soil, but with the insertion of the shovel, a woman's deep voice came from behind him.
"Don't dig up, there's a dead man underneath" (To be continued......)
