Chapter 344 The Well Has No Water
All the way to Hongmei Village.
When we were clearing the road two days ago, everyone cut up the furniture and trees that were blocking the road and piled them on the roadside.
Their goal today is to take back the wood they had cleared out earlier and store it.
It was only slightly sawed off before, and not split.
So it still needs to be split, so it is more convenient to burn.
The task of chopping wood was still given to Lu Yuan and Lin Ting.
Han Ying and Lei Minghu were sawing the dry trees around them into pieces.
Wu Tingfang and Qin Qinghai took the fire axes they had just found and chopped off the thinner branches.
He Xiu took Lei Yuhang and Lin Yang to pick up the firewood and put it into the RV.
Most of the supplies in the RV were moved to the temporary residence, leaving a lot of empty space to store a lot of firewood.
The apocalypse has been going on for so long that everyone is used to doing things, so they are very quick in their movements.
In more than half an hour, the RV's through area was filled.
The kitchen hallway and the living room were also piled with firewood.
"Lu Yuan and I will take them there first, you guys be careful."
After Han Ying finished speaking, she gave some instructions to Tangyuan and asked it to be on guard before getting into the car with Lu Yuan.
With Tangyuan guarding here, the two felt more at ease.
After getting in the car, Lu Yuan drove the car while Han Ying stored all the firewood in the car into the space at the back.
In addition to the firewood, Lu Yuan and Qin Qinghai also moved the door that the two soldiers had found into the car before setting off.
Han Ying then put the door into the space.
After arriving at Hongmei Village, they parked the car on the section of road closest to Lu Yuan's grandfather's home and got out of the car.
They didn't carry any lights, they all wore night vision goggles.
While they were away, Han Ying opened the fuel tank cap of the RV and filled it with diesel.
Before, Lei Minghu and his three families gave Han Ying a total of 200 liters of diesel.
The fuel tank capacity of this car is 800 liters.
So in addition to the 200 liters, Han Ying also filled up the tank.
Now there is only about half of the diesel left in the tank, which shows how huge the fuel consumption of this RV is.
After filling up the gas, the two held hands and walked towards Lu Yuan’s grandfather’s house.
When I arrived, I climbed up the ladder and piled the firewood I had just collected together with yesterday's.
Including today's trip, almost two-thirds of the room is already filled.
After stacking the firewood, the two men did not leave immediately.
Because there was a lot of firewood, it would be impossible to get back so quickly at a normal speed.
The two entered the space and began to busy themselves with the things inside.
The time is set at about 30 minutes, which should be about the right amount of time.
In half an hour, you can do a lot of things in the space.
Lu Yuan took an electric saw and cut down the bamboos that had grown thick.
After the bamboo is sawn down, there will be more space for new bamboo to grow.
Han Ying was picking grapes with a stepladder.
Today we picked Kyoho grapes.
There are not many Kyoho grapes planted, only 5 trees.
But the yield is very high. With 5 grape trees, we can pick three large boxes every time.
After picking all the grapes, it’s almost time.
He went to the bamboo forest and called Lu Yuan, and the two of them left the space together.
Afraid that picking grapes and sawing bamboo would leave a smell, Han Ying sprayed deodorant on both herself and Lu Yuan.
After getting in the car, Lu Yuan was still driving.
Han Ying came to the water tower and filled the water tower that could hold 2 tons.
The water tower was originally half filled with water, and she and Lu Yuan would continue to transport firewood here later.
So it is normal for them to fetch some water during the transportation.
When I returned to the place where I was just now, there was a lot of firewood piled on the roadside.
Everyone worked together to move the firewood onto the RV, and then Han Ying and Lu Yuan continued to drive the RV to the small building to transport the firewood.
This time, after the two men stacked the firewood, they did not enter the space again, but took out the door that had been put into the space before.
I compared the sizes first and found that the lever is really good.
Then the two of them worked together to dismantle the door of Lu Yuan's house, took out tools, and started installing the door.
Lu Yuan had installed doors with Lei Minghu several times, so he knew how to install it without Lei Minghu's help.
In more than half an hour, the two of them installed the door.
After installing the door, the two of them drove over together to fetch firewood, and then installed the lock on their return trip.
After three more trips, the lock was installed and the firewood filled the entire room.
That room was no small room.
Self-built houses in rural areas are different from commercial houses in cities. Many of the rooms are built larger.
So the room where they store firewood is more than 30 square meters.
According to Lu Yuan, this room used to be where his grandfather kept his instruments and medicine cabinet.
Of course, all the things inside had been taken away by Lu Yuan before.
When we went there for the last time, Han Ying told everyone to take the firewood back to their temporary residence and store it there.
You can temporarily pile them on the balcony and use them during this period.
We came back early today, so we cooked and ate in the RV.
Then everyone discovered that the water in the half-filled water tower had been filled up and the door was gone.
Everyone guessed that Han Ying and Lu Yuan must have moved the door over when they were transporting firewood, and also drew water from the well.
This workload is much greater than cutting down trees over there.
Seeing that everyone noticed the water, Han Ying said, "I noticed that there seems to be a lot less water in the well today than yesterday."
After hearing Han Ying's words, everyone fell silent.
Everyone knew what it meant when the water in the well began to run low.
"That can't be helped. We have already pumped up a lot of water. Even if the well stops producing water tomorrow, the water we pumped up is still profitable."
Qin Qinghai saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he spoke up to comfort everyone.
But everyone understands this truth, it’s just a bit regrettable.
"Yeah, we are already much better off than others. At least each of us has stockpiled a lot."
Wu Tingfang looked at the water tower and licked her lips. She had just said yesterday that she could finally drink water freely, but she didn't expect that she would be back to square one today.
But when I think about the fact that there is still a lot of water at home, if I save it a little like before, it will last for a long time.
They had been drawing water from that well for three days in a row; they should be content.
Next, He Xiu continued to cook, while the others gathered together to discuss things.
Lu Yuan suggested that when collecting firewood these days, they should also pay attention to bricks and sand.
After the base is moved here, we will buy some cement from the government.
The wall must be built.
Not only does it need to be repaired, but it also needs to be raised and thickened.
Therefore, the amount of bricks and sand needed is definitely not a small amount.
