Chapter 39: Digging a Well



With these things, they can be safer and their homes more secure.

The medicine cabinet was also moved over, but it was only placed in the living room on the first floor. Qiao Xuejun wanted to wait until they were all out or too busy to pay attention, and then use the system to move the things downstairs when they were least prepared.

Tonight, the entire clinic was emptied out. Everyone was exhausted and out of breath, and by the end it was already completely dark. We were afraid that a mad cow disease patient would suddenly appear from somewhere.

“It’s so hot.”

They worked from 5pm to 10pm, and they worked with their heads tied to their belts, trembling with fear. Fortunately, it went smoothly in the end. Even if they encountered mad cow disease, they didn't dare to come forward because of the mugwort they carried.

But who can remain calm when seeing a monster like mad cow disease!

Several people moved the last cabinet and ran back home. They were all exhausted, especially Kuang Qianli. He was quite active and always moved the heaviest things, leaving the light ones for them.

Now that he was inside the house, he sat down on the floor and collapsed, unwilling to move: "It's so hot that I'm dying."

The carpenter and Wang Juanfeng were so tired that they collapsed on the ground with Kuang Qianli: "No, no, no, I can't walk anymore."

Qiao Xuejun slumped on the sofa, also exhausted.

Although she used the system to move some things, she couldn't do it too obviously, so she did it herself most of the time.

Although Kuang Qianli took the initiative to do the heavier work, after all, the clinic was so big and there were a lot of things to move, so everyone contributed a lot.

Qiao Xuejun wiped the sweat off his face and said, "The rebels didn't come."

Seeing how anxious Kuang Qianli and Wang Juanfeng were today, she thought the rebels would come today.

Kuang Qianli was also a little surprised.

They all agreed that they would go out at 5 o'clock, and in case they encountered rebels, they would hide at any time. If the rebels came, they would leave all their other things behind and come back directly without taking risks for that little bit of stuff.

Because of this, they were very nervous along the way, but they didn't come in until they had moved all their things.

"It's normal actually." Kuang Qianli suddenly said, "I'm a cyclist. When I came to your place, I've been to all the towns around here. Your town is not very impressive, and the resources are average. There are few people, and even fewer rich people. It's hard to rob things, and the roads are not easy to walk on. If Junliu wasn't here, I wouldn't have come in."

"So, it's normal that the rebels don't come."

Wang Juanfeng thought: "Then can we not use ..."

Kuang Qianli shook his head: "They may not come, but we still have to make preparations. The alarm can only be lifted after they are driven out."

Wang Juanfeng nodded: "Yes, maybe they will come tomorrow."

Several people rested for a while on the first floor, placed the anti-theft doors and windows on the first floor, and moved other daily necessities to the shelter.

When no one was paying attention, Qiao Xuejun used the system to help a little.

After moving all the things, the four of them were exhausted and sweating.

Wang Juanfeng: "It's so hot, I need to go wash my face."

As she spoke, she went to the potato field where the water pipe was.

Qiao Xuejun was sorting out some pots and bowls in her hands and took them to the kitchen, intending to put them in order and wash them.

"Ah, there's no water!" Wang Juanfeng shouted.

What? No water? Qiao Xuejun frowned, stopped what he was doing, and went to Wang Juanfeng. Kuang Qianli also came over and asked, "Why, no tap water?"

Wang Juanfeng turned the valve of the water pipe again and nodded: "It is indeed gone. Not a single drop of water can flow out."

Qiao Xuejun rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let me go up and see if the water supply has been cut off."

She said, "Maybe it's just a clogged pipe."

She had just finished her manual labor and was sweating profusely. How could she wash herself without water? Although she had to accept this reality at the end of the world, she still subconsciously prayed that it was just a clogged pipe, not that there was no water.

After all, although she usually stored water, there was only a little water for watering tomato seedlings and fungus. The drinking water was all in the warehouse, which was mineral water.

It would be best if the water supply was not cut off.

But Qiao Xuejun went upstairs and told the other three people when she came down that the water pipe was not blocked and there was indeed no water in the tap. She also tried the water pipe on the first floor, but there was no water.

When the three heard the news, their faces fell.

All four of them were sweaty tonight, and it was a sad thing to be without water.

Kuang Qianli was the one who accepted it the fastest: "Forget it, if there is no water, then there is no water. Let's see if he can come tomorrow to bring water. If not, we can go to the mountain to get some water to use." He usually slept outdoors while riding, and was used to the bad conditions. "Anyway, there is still water to drink, no need to rush."

It’s okay to have no water for washing, but what’s worrying is that there’s no water to drink. There’s a lot of mineral water in the warehouse, but there’s no need to panic.

That's true.

Normally, if Qiao Xuejun used mineral water, she would boil the water in a kettle and fill all the bottles and buckets to ensure that there was no shortage at any time.

However, the original water was enough for her to drink for a year, but now there are four of them, and the time she can use it has been reduced by half. It is also difficult to fetch water from the mountains.

Qiao Xuejun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does anyone have experience in digging wells?"

Wang Juanfeng looked at her and said, "You need a well drilling machine to dig a well, right?"

The young carpenter raised his hand and said, "I have seen it. We carpenters often go to do renovations. In the past, many families in the town also dug their own wells, but they all used well drilling machines."
