Early the next morning, Zhu Lin was woken up by the noise in the yard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When I got up, it turned out that Zhu Yi was practicing knife techniques with Zheng Jiu. With a wooden knife, the two of you come and go, and the fight is not lively. Zhu Lin also wanted to practice, but when he looked at his thin arms and legs. Forget it.

I just wanted someone to fetch water to wash up. I heard Uncle Zhu shouting in the front room: "The well at my house is out of water, so I won't go to another house to fetch water." Chang Yulin said aggrievedly: "I asked them to ask for half a street in the east and west, there was no water, the wells were all dry, and there was still a tank of water in the firewood room, so I asked them to cook for the young master first."

I didn't expect the lack of water to be so serious. Even the well water has dried up. Zhu Lin walked to the well in the southeast corner of the backyard, surrounded by a bluestone platform, and a circle of well railings was enclosed with blue bricks on the platform. The well has been taken aside. Only two bald wooden poles were left on either side. Zhu Lin stretched out his head and looked down, but he couldn't see clearly. Streams of cool air rushed out. It's so deep, so deep that the water is dry. One can imagine how severe the drought is. Zhu Lin took a closer look. Then he called Uncle Zhu and Zheng Jiu to come over and have a look. Is there a way to deepen the well a little deeper. They gathered around a well and watched. Talking.

Zhu Lin suddenly thought of a way, and ran back to the house without saying a word. Zhu Lin ran into the study, picked up charcoal, and drew on a piece of paper. After the drawing, I drew another one. And he went to the house, and took out ten denarii. Then find Uncle Zhu and ask Uncle Zhu to find a blacksmith shop to make a handful of this Luoyang shovel. One is hollow, the other is solid. If you sell iron bars, buy some iron bars and come back.

called Zheng Jiu again and asked Zheng Jiu if there was a place to sell Nanzhu in the city. Zheng Jiu said that there are those for sale. Then Zhu Lin told Zheng Jiu to let Zheng Jiu buy a few Nan bamboos, but it was best to hollow out the middle, and the whole bamboo should be hollowed out, buy a few of the thickest ones, and then buy a few of them that are slightly thinner than the thick ones. Holes should be punched on the top of the thin bamboo, and the thin bamboo should be able to be put into the inside of the thick bamboo. After you are done, buy a few sturdy logs. Buy some rope. After explaining a lot, I kicked them out to buy something.

Zhu Lin looked at the well railing, and thought about it and asked Chang Yulin to take someone to pick it up. After picking it up. Zhu Lin chose one of the children named Da Niu, tied the rope on the shaft, and slowly asked them to put him into the well. Zhu Lin told Da Niu that if it is in the end, you will shout.

"Little master, in the end." The big bull shouted at the bottom of the well in a trembling voice.

Zhu Lin looked at the rope. The depth of the well was estimated. It looks like about three meters. Three meters, you can generally see water in places where water sources are abundant. But now that there is a big drought, the groundwater level has dropped, and I have to dig more than ten meters deep, and it is estimated that water can be seen. Zhu Lin asked people to pull the big cow up.

It didn't take long for Zheng Jiu to come back, bringing with him about a dozen bowl-thick Nanzhu bamboos and a few pieces of wood. Each bamboo is about three meters long. Not only is it opened, but it is also dried. Zhu Lin asked them to put the slightly thinner one into the thick one to test the lubrication level, which was a little astringent. It should be better with water. A bunch of stuff was piled up there.

Zhu Lin waited for Uncle Zhu to ask the blacksmith shop to come to the place. While waiting, I had a hasty meal with a group of children.

Chang Yulin told Zhu Lin that he was going to buy rice and noodles again. The house is gone. Zhu Lin said that he would wait for Uncle Zhu to come back and let him buy it. After eating, Zhu Lin commanded to set up a shelf there. A large stand was made by tying up the wood with rope. There is a small pulley hanging from it, and the so-called small pulley is a shrunken well wheel without a crank. It was almost noon, and everything I had built was back. Zhu Chengli gave the rest of the silver to Zhu Lin, and a few things cost less than three taels of silver in total. The rest of the silver, Zhu Lin, asked Uncle Zhu to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil, and then buy some pig's head meat. I feel that Uncle Zhu has become a housekeeper now.

The thing created is like a bamboo shoot cut in half diagonally, and the inside is hollow. One is a solid bamboo shoot-shaped iron bump, like a pointed Luoyang shovel. Although it doesn't quite fit Zhu Lin's wishes, there is no way, just make do with it. I saw that Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu to connect the things that had been built like Luoyang shovels with two kinds of Nanzhu. The hollow one is connected to the thick bamboo, and the solid one is connected to the slightly thinner bamboo. The connection is secured. Then let the wooden shelf just now be put on the well platform. Iron bars are used to attach the thick bamboos to the wooden shelves, and the bamboos hang down into the wells. However, because the wellhead is relatively wide, it will deviate when it is drilled down, and someone must go down to the well to support Nanzhu.

Zhu Lin looked at it for a while, only the big cow was more suitable. Da Niu, fourteen years old, is relatively large among the children, but due to malnutrition, he is not tall, but he is very strong. There is no choice but to let the big cow go down. Other kids are too skinny. I guess I can't hold it. Under the temptation of Zhu Lin's coaxing, deception and threats, and promised to give the big cow a pig's head meat at noon. The big cow went down with a sad face. After the big cow went down, he grabbed Nanzhu and put it in the center of the well, and then Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu to smash it twice with a big wooden mallet, feeling that Nanzhu was not shaking. Then Zhu Lin put the bracket to the side of the well, inserted the slightly thinner Nanzhu into the thick Nanzhu, and connected the fine Nanzhu with iron bars and ropes. One end of the rope is passed through a small pulley. Zhu Lin asked them to move the stand again. Seeing that it was almost there, Zhu Lin asked people to fetch buckets of water. Then ask a couple of children to pull up the rope and loosen it. Pull it up and loosen it. I saw the thick Nanzhu going down little by little. When the speed of the coarse Nanzhu was getting slower and slower, Zhu Lin asked a few children to carry a bucket of water, picked up the water scoop and added a scoop of water to the slightly thinner Nanzhu, and told Chang Yulin to keep adding water to it one by one. Keep adding water.

The fine Nanzhu was pulled up again and again and put down. The thick Nanzhu paused inch by inch. It didn't take long for another thick bamboo to be attached. Zhu Lin calculated, not counting the original well, now it has been drilled to a depth of 4 meters, and it is 8 meters deep with the addition of a nanzhu. In addition, the original well is almost 11 meters deep, so it's almost time to see water. I saw that the second Nanzhu was also going down.

Zhu Lin asked the big cow to come up and went down to watch it himself. When Zhu Lin went down, the second Nanzhu was about to reach the bottom of the well. I only heard the "goo-goo-goo" sound inside the Nanzhu inside. Zhu Lin hurriedly asked people to pull him up. Let everyone pull out the slightly thin Nanzhu. No more fighting.

Zhu Lin gave a mud monkey to command there. Next to him, Zheng Jiu asked Zhu Lin if he could get out of the water. Zhu Lin told Zheng Jiu that it was almost.

Sure enough, not long after I pumped the fine nanzhu up, I heard a child shouting there: "Out of the water, out of the water." Zhu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there are no stones in the soil below, but yellow mud and sand.

If there are stones, it is troublesome. There is also no condition, you can only wait for the water to slowly seep up. If you can, you can make a pressurized water well, so don't wait. It's a pity that there are two bamboos in it that have not been pulled out. You should pull out the bamboo and put two more bamboos again. But now it's not very good to smoke. That's it.

Zhu Chengli ran over and asked Zhu Lin if he could have dinner. Zhu Lin waved his hand and beckoned everyone to eat. Just next to the well platform, the old and the young took the steamed bun and rolled the pig's head meat, rolled the salt beans and began to eat. A large vat of millet porridge is right next to it. Eating everyone's mouths are full of oil, and they are addicted. Zhu Lin deliberately added more pig's head meat to the big cow. The tears that moved the mud monkey-like cow were rattling.

Zhu Lin squatted on the ground and accompanied everyone after eating and drinking, then pulled Zhu Chengli and Zheng Jiu aside and said, "Brother Zheng Jiu, Uncle Zhu, I heard Chang Yulin say just now that the wells in half of the street are dry. I think, Brother Zheng Jiu, you take a few older children to set up a well-drilling team. What do you think about helping the neighbors dig wells? Of course, you have to pay for digging wells, and now we don't have a lot of money."

Zheng Jiu replied: "No problem, I will take a few children to dig a well to earn some money to make up for it, and the group of children in the province have nothing to do."

Uncle Zhu nodded there and said, "No problem, this method is good, at least you can make up for it." Young master, there is another one is that there is a great drought now, the surrounding land is abandoned, and the grain is constantly rising, and it used to be seven taels of silver to buy five stones of rice, but now it can only buy two stones of rice. Xiao had to take the initiative to buy a stone of rice, and the rest bought a bucket of millet and a half bucket of noodles. There was a little change left, so small that I made up for it, and I bought all the meat. Master, we can't eat like this. People eat two meals a day, and we eat three meals a day with meat in the middle. And keep them fed. Half the size of the child, eat the dead old man. If you eat like this, you will soon have to sit and eat empty, and when the big handsome leaves, you will have to ask the little one to invite a gentleman for you, Zheng Jiu and I and the children are clumsy and can't take care of people, and the little one is thinking about buying a few maids to take care of the little master in a few days." When Zhu Chengli said that he had eaten too much, Zheng Jiuhei's face was rarely flushed.

"No, Uncle Zhu, we must go on like this, when the children and I are growing up, we can't lack food. There are no conditions now, please postpone it first with the maid. I'll figure it out with money, so I don't have to worry about that. Now the most important thing is that there are more than ten children, the oldest is less than ten years old, and the youngest is only 7 years old. Ay. Otherwise, Uncle Zhu will clean up the east wing and let the children move to the backyard. I'll take it first. Yes, it's not okay to buy a maid. A half-grown child with a group of small children. Hey, just wait for the conditions, and then buy a maid and ask for a gentleman." Zhu Lin said.
