Chapter 36 Restoration of the Ancient Well
"⊙⊙! But I've been down there before!" Ali said heartily.

"It can only be said that you are very lucky." Brother Xiaoyong rolled his eyes and pointed to the ground near the edge of the well, "Look, the ground near here is also built with the same kind of stones, and these stones are arranged very closely. At the same time, this well is also piled up by hand, as a whole, it is small on the whole and big on the bottom, if a stone loosens and falls off, the entire wall of the well will collapse!"

So the first thing we have to do is to erect a column in the well, and set up a quadrilateral guard plate on the outside of the column to reach the bottom of the well.

In this way, even if the stone on the well wall collapses, at least personal safety can be guaranteed.

Listening to Brother Xiaoyong's explanation, Ali transferred some planks and other materials from the crew's resources.

There is an old house near the ancient well. Although it has not been lived in for a long time, it is still intact, and it doesn't even leak.Brother Xiaoyong plans to repair the house a little, so that the three big men don't have to squeeze into the tent at night.

After Zhou Hao set up the photography equipment, he followed Brother Xiaoyong's instruction to clean up the old hut. At the same time, he also needed to clean up a place for cooking.

Li Chengxin and Brother Xiaoyong started to vertically put four logs as pillars into the well.

From the edge of the well, the boards used as guards are fastened to the logs with wire.

After the edge of the well was protected by two layers of wooden boards inside and outside, the bamboo ladder was inserted into the well, and Li Chengxin could finally enter the well.

With the support and guard plate added, the wellhead appears even smaller.

"I'm so scared, do I have claustrophobia..." Li Chengxin started to step into the well while talking.

However, Brother Xiaoyong came to stab him again: "If the wall of the well collapses now, you will only die alone."

[Wow, so scary! 】

[Brother Zicheng, don't go down! 】

【Brother Xiaoyong, how can you say that! 】

The well is narrow enough for only a small person to enter.

Li Chengxin held the board in one hand and tied the wire with the other, and had to be very careful not to touch the stones.

It is very difficult to work in a small space.It will take a long time to tie the wire at only one position.

In addition, shade-loving plants that grow randomly in the crevices of the stone are also very obstructive.At this time, you can't pull any grass, because if you pull it, it will probably bring out the stones.

[This is really too difficult! ! ! ! 】

[As expected of the man I fell in love with at first sight! 】

【It seems that I have to pray for Zicheng every day when I wake up...】

The work of building the guard plate was pushed down little by little. The well was deep, under the shade-loving plants, and it was difficult for the sky to penetrate.So Li Chengxin also asked Brother Xiaoyong to pull wires and install electric lights on the guard plate of the well wall, which made his room for movement even smaller.

After working for a long time, Li Chengxin saw that the sky above was getting darker. In order to prevent her white skin and tender flesh from being coveted by the snake spirits that came out to forage at night, Li Chengxin quickly climbed out of the ancient well through the bamboo ladder.

Li Chengxin leaned out of the ancient well, and a black shadow flew towards him, startling Li Chengxin.

He didn't realize it was melon rind until the black shadow licked him, sticking out its wet tongue to touch Li Chengxin's face.

Guapi suddenly found that his master had suddenly become shorter than himself, so he was not a little bit excited.

Compared with when the melon rind was delivered, it had grown a lot, and of course it was also a lot heavier. This pounce almost pushed Li Chengxin, who was caught off guard, back into the well.

Brother Xiao Yong saw this and quickly came over to rescue Li Chengxin.It was not because he was afraid that Li Chengxin would not be able to withstand the pressure, but because he was worried that the ancient well, which had not completed the protection board, would not be able to withstand the impact.

At this time, Li Chengxin discovered that at the door of the repaired hut, besides the three lunch boxes sent by A Li, there was actually a skinned rabbit.

"The food in this crew is not bad! There are even rabbits? But why are they raw?"

Brother Xiaoyong looked at Li Chengxin whose face was being licked by Guapi: "Hehe, Guapi caught the rabbit. When I came back, there was a mouth full of blood. I thought it was injured, hehe."

Li Chengxin hurriedly grabbed Guapi's long face with both hands, pulled the dog's head away a little, then opened a bottle of mineral water to wash his face.

After two days, the installation of more than 50 panels was finally completed.Li Chengxin is almost used to the working environment in a small space.

In this way, at least the downhole operations can be carried out with confidence, and of course the downhole operations must be carried out in turns.

After having the guard board, the first thing to do is to remove the weeds that grow in the stone crevices.During these days in Hongming Village, Li Chengxin has done a lot of work to pull weeds, but this is the first time to pull this kind of weeds at the risk of life.

The further down you go near the water, the less grass there is, but more wispy vines, moss and mold.

This day it was Li Chengxin's turn to scoop water from the bottom of the well to scrub the moss and greasy stones near the water.

Just when Li Chengxin was scooping up water for the third time...

"what----"

A scream sounded from the bottom of the well, and Xiao Yong, who was working around the ancient well, almost fell in shock.

Li Chengxin lifted the plastic bucket used for scooping water, and let the camera set up at the mouth of the well take pictures of the contents inside.

It turned out to be a small white skull.

The upper jaw of the bird.

Soon, Li Chengxin found the corresponding mandible and other bones in the nearby mud.

After almost laying out the general structure of the skeleton, Brother Xiaoyong decided that it was a crow.

"How did this kind of thing get into the well? I'm so scared!" Li Chengxin trembled.

【I guess it was Sadako...】

【my God!scary! 】

[This broken island is too scary! 】

Brother Xiaoyong doesn't need to go down to work for the time being, so he doesn't care much.He urged Li Chengxin and Zhou Hao to continue working quickly.

Li Chengxin then replaced Zhou Hao.

After washing the moss on the stone wall, the next step is to scoop out the silt and sewage at the bottom of the well.

Ever since the crow's skeleton was discovered, Li Chengxin always felt creepy when he went down to work.

But nothing strange happened when it was Xiaoyong's turn and Zhou Hao's turn to go down the well, so when it was Li Chengxin's turn to go down the well, he also worked hard to overcome his fear.

At this point, at least they didn't have to climb up and down the guards in the well.Only one person needs to scoop up the sludge and sewage with a bucket, and the two above pull the bucket up.

While pulling up a bucket of mud, suddenly, the rope slipped in Brother Xiaoyong’s hand, and the bucket filled with mud shook for a while, and the whole bucket of mud was thrown back to the bottom of the well, and he bent down to dig another Li Chengxin, who was in a bucket of mud, was poured over his head and face.

【Gosh!The curse of the crow has finally come true! 】

【In this way, I feel relieved】

[Hey, my son died so badly! 】

Fortunately, this was the only disastrous accident in the entire ancient well repair project.

After a few days, hundreds of barrels of water were changed, and the sludge at the bottom of the well was reduced.

On this day, it rained.

Li Chengxin, three people and one dog squatted in a renovated small house. They could finally have a good sleep and rest without working.

The next day, when it was Xiaoyong's turn to go down the well, everyone found that the water volume in the well was much higher than usual, and water kept seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.

At least it seemed that the newly seeped water was much cleaner and more transparent than the original sewage.

At this time, the sand and stones dug out from the bottom of the well seemed to have been freed from the pollution of the silt.

Brother Xiaoyong believes that the sand and stones at the bottom of these wells should have been put into the wells as a filter layer before.

Cleaning and updating the filter layer is also an important step in the restoration of ancient wells.

"Put clean sand on the bottom layer, top with small stones, and then a layer of big stones. In this way, stones are used to make filter holes of different sizes to absorb various impurities of different sizes that sink to the bottom of the well. This is the most basic filtering device, and when you fetch water, it will not make impurities float up again."

After understanding the basics, Li Chengxin and the others split up to collect the materials needed for the filter device.

Zhou Hao went to collect big stones.

Brother Xiaoyong went to the rocky beach on Zhangba Island, and used a big iron pick to break up the pebbles on the rocky beach to make a layer of small stones.

Li Chengxin went to the beach to collect sand with a cloth bag.

After that came the hardest job.

That is to move the collected 300 kilograms of large and small stones and sand to the well about 150 meters away through the rugged mountain road.

After moving the stones and sand to the well bit by bit, you can't throw them into the well at once, but you have to send them bucket by bucket to the well, and then spread them carefully on the bottom of the well.

When all the stones and sand were spread to the bottom of the well, the water in the well was obviously much clearer.

However, it is not so easy to clean up the old wells that have been abandoned for many years.

Finally, charcoal is used for the final filtration.

The three of Li Chengxin began to collect hardwood branches on Zhangba Island again.

Firstly, saw the picked hardwood into small pieces until it can be put into the carbon furnace, cover the carbon furnace to seal it, and then ignite it outside the carbon furnace.

After burning for about half an hour, thick smoke billowed in the charcoal stove, and it seemed that it was almost done, so the fire was turned off.

Put the charcoal into several net pockets, fix the net pockets at the bottom of the well, and Brother Xiaoyong said that they have completed the task.

This is followed by a three-week wait while the charcoal absorbs remaining impurities in the water.

Brother Xiaoyong and the others greeted Ali, and told him to test the water quality again in three weeks, then packed their bags and set off on their way home.

【Ding!Congratulations, the host reputation has reached 100000. 】

Suddenly, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly made a sound.

[The host is asked to receive the reward and draw the prestige treasure chest. 】

A blue box appeared in Li Chengxin's vision.

[The automatic pick-up function is activated, and the prestige treasure box is successfully collected. 】

The blue box in the field of vision opens automatically.

[The host gets a "Magnetic Physique Card". 】

[Magnetic Physique Card: Use the Magnetic Physique Card, the reputation improvement effect within 72 hours will be +30%. 】

[Do you use it now? (Choose "No", the magnetic physical fitness card will be stored in the inventory)]

【whether】

Li Chengxin silently controlled the system interface with his eyes and chose "No".

Li Chengxin has gradually learned that the reputation value is basically equivalent to the number of loyal fans. When the well is repaired, the fans are relatively low. It is better to use it when the exposure rate is relatively high, so as to have a better effect of attracting fans.

Take a look at your profile.
