“Dig a well to get water.”

"Dig a well to get water?"

"Yes, we need to dig a well to get water." Bai Yan affirmed.

"Dig a well? Get water?" Xi was a little stunned, thinking that he heard wrong: "Isn't there a lake after passing through the woods over there?"

Bai Jie shook her head: "It's too far and inconvenient! If outsiders block the exit, we will die from lack of water! Also, we plan to tame some wild animals and grow some food, which require a lot of water. of!"

The evil dragon has not appeared for several days, and I don’t know what it went to do. Maybe it left the Gurao Rainforest, so the wild beasts here began to slowly appear. Maybe those who escaped here will come back soon.

In the past few days, Bai Yan had thought a lot and felt that if she wanted to develop a force of her own, it would be useless to rely on the three of them. A force would definitely require a lot of people.

If we want to develop, we should first solve people's livelihood problems.

Although it seems that the problem with water is not big now, they only need to walk a certain distance if they want water.

But in the future, there will be more and more people in the tree hole, and the water problem will become bigger.

Having said this, Bai Yu suddenly thought of something, waved her hand and said: "Okay, you go and call someone first!"

"Yes!" Xi hurriedly left.

Xi quickly found the other two people.

Bai Yan handed them three wooden shovels: "Take this, we will use it to dig the soil later!"

These three wooden shovels were made by Bai Yan when she had the idea of ​​digging a well.

"What is this? It's a special harpoon!"

Bai Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said: "This is a wooden shovel, used for digging soil!"

Bai Jie was helpless and too lazy to worry about it anymore. She led the people towards the big tree next to the thorn tree wall. She wanted to dig a well next to the thorn tree wall.

The reason why wells are dug here is because the plants grow more lush here than elsewhere.

Bai Yan chose a place near the big tree, used a wooden stick to draw a large circle with a radius of two meters, stood in the center of the circle and said, "Dig a well here."

"Dig a well?" Guotou asked in confusion, "What can a well be used for?"

Bai Yan said with a smile: "If we dig deep enough here, water will flow out of the ground automatically. We won't have to go far away to get water in the future!"

After a pause, Bai Yan added: "And the water flowing out from the ground will taste a little sweet!"

"But isn't there all earth under the ground? How can there be water?" Xi couldn't help but ask.

Bai Yan's head felt heavy again. She thought about it over and over again, but found that it was difficult to understand given their IQs, and it was also difficult for her to explain clearly.

So she simply stopped explaining, just reached out and took the wooden shovel and said: "As long as you dig deep enough, water will come out!"

Xi immediately shut up. He knew that all he had to do was implement Lady Maria's decision.

The other two people stopped talking.

Bai Jie held a wooden shovel in both hands, stepped on the ear of the shovel with one foot, stepped hard, and then pushed it out with both hands, and a shovel of soil was dug out for her.

She raised her hand and shook the soil aside.

These actions seemed normal to Bai Yan, but in the eyes of the people around her, they looked different in expression and shock.

Bai Yan didn't know what the people around her were thinking. After digging around, she handed the wooden shovel to Xi: "Hey, you dig like me."

"Guotou, you use rattan to hang the animal skins, and when you dig deep, just pull the soil out from underneath!"

Bai Yan added: "If you feel tired, take a rest and continue digging."

"Yes!"

So Bai Yan stood aside and gave instructions, as if a foreman was inspecting the construction site.

Whether it was the motivation brought by the wooden shovel or the pressure brought by Bai Yan watching them work, everyone took the wooden shovel and started digging with a life-threatening attitude.

I saw the wooden shovel flying up and down, and the soil was constantly being thrown out of the well mouth.

Bai Jie watched as they were digging and gradually only the top of their heads was exposed. Finally, all they could see was soil thrown out, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"This digging speed!" Bai Yan was stunned, "It's almost as fast as the excavators in the real world!"

As expected, their primitive hands-on ability cannot be underestimated.

Three people dug a well and dug six to seven meters in less than half a day!

It's just that there are fewer people going down, and in the end only two people can go down at the same time. Even so, the digging speed is still not slow.

What excited everyone was that the soil layer at six or seven meters had begun to become moist, and the soil thrown up was obviously wet and sticky!

"There is really water!" Xi couldn't help exclaiming.

Guotou, who was hanging animal skins and soil on rattan at the mouth of the well, was also very excited and looked at Bai Jie with eyes full of admiration.

More than two hours later, when the cane hanging down was already twelve or thirteen meters high, an exclamation suddenly came from the bottom of the well: "Ah, the water is coming out!"

Upon hearing this, the pot head at the wellhead hurriedly pulled up the cane, and then saw two muddy people hurriedly climbing out of the cane.

And from the bottom of the well, there was the sound of gurgling water!

The water well that is more than ten meters deep can't be clearly seen at first, but the sound of running water below is very clear.

Immediately afterwards, the water level under the well rose visibly to the naked eye, and a smell mixed with soil and grass roots surged out from the bottom up.

Bai Yan's eyes lit up. She was very familiar with the taste of this water. Only real mountain spring water was like this. It was definitely better than the water in the lake.

The water level soon reached about three meters from the wellhead, and people around the wellhead could clearly see water rising from below.

In the two-meter-wide well, the groundwater that surged up swirled. The central vortex was clear and bright, and only the relatively turbid silt clung to the well wall.

Rao was like this, and everyone around Bai Yu cheered.

"Oh oh oh!"

Bai Jie was also very excited. Before the water level stabilized, she couldn't help but take a cane and hang a wooden cup on it to take a half cup of water. Regardless of whether the water was still clear, she took a sip from the wooden cup.

"Ah!" Bai Yu exclaimed, "It's really sweet!"

Even if there was still some mud in her mouth, she didn't care.

Because compared with the water taken from the lake that I drank in the past two days, this groundwater is incomparably better.

"Lady Maria!"

The original trio looked at Bai Yan with burning eyes.

"Dip! Your dependents will be happy with +5 loyalty!"

"drop!……"

"..."

Xi couldn't help but said: "Ms. Maria, can I have a sip?"

"Of course!" Bai Yan nodded.

He was so busy that he imitated Bai Jie and used a wooden cup hung on a rattan to get water, and couldn't wait to take a sip.

After just one mouthful, Xi's eyes suddenly opened wide, with an expression of surprise at first, then shock, and finally ecstasy.

"Oh!" Xi beat his chest and shouted, looking at Bai Jie with an even higher level of enthusiasm.

"But there is still sediment in the well water. It would be better to drink without it."

"Si Sha?" Xi was a little surprised.

"Well, there is silt in the water. Wait until it sinks completely before you drink it. It will taste better! Otherwise, drinking the water with silt will end up with your teeth!"

"Hiccup Ya?" The original trio looked strange, "No!"

Bai Yan suddenly realized that they were used to drinking water from the lake, and were used to the water mixed with sediment and the fishy smell of water. When they first drank the groundwater, they only felt that it tasted good. How could there be any other feeling?

But Bai Ju is a modern person. She is used to drinking mineral water, mountain spring water and cold boiled water. How can she compare?

"Okay!" Bai Yan could only nod helplessly, "You will know after waiting for a while before drinking!"
