Chapter 177 Coolie, Water from the Well
At 10:51 am on the 96th day of the game, Nanxing slept very late.
But it doesn't matter, it's daytime all day anyway.
When he got up, he was all sticky. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, took a shower, and had breakfast before Nanxing slowly went out.
Those survivors did not leave. Even if they wanted to run away, they couldn't. How could Nanxing let them run away?
She had already sent wolves and dogs to live on the pasture opposite them, and any disturbance would cause them to be torn to pieces by the vicious wolves and dogs.
Nanxing deliberately didn't give them dinner. How could they possibly be full by relying on catching rabbits?
As soon as she went out, the survivors across the street received the news and followed her immediately.
But Nanxing was not so fast. She still needed to check the condition of the animals in the livestock shed, pick up some chicken eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, and milk the cows.
She has 6 lactating cows, and she has to milk so much milk every day.
Even in this kind of weather, cows produce a lot of milk, dozens of kilograms a day, which is impossible to drink up.
The dogs and wolves help her consume a lot of dairy products every day.
"You're just in time. Can you milk me?"
Nanxing put on a farmer's hat, dressed in his equipment, and took a look at the survivors outside the door.
"Milking?" The survivors were stunned. Isn't it digging a well?
How can there be such a huge span at once? This little bitch is really sick.
"If you don't know how, just learn. Go wash yourself over there. There's soap and shampoo on the windowsill. Wash yourself clean. After you finish milking, you can take two buckets back."
Nanxing still understands the principle of giving a slap in the face and then giving a sweet date, and it is especially useful for these wandering survivors.
“!!!”
The survivors were stunned when they heard about Nanxing's generosity, especially those who insisted on staying, who looked at their companions with pride.
Let them say it.
Yesterday they had an unprecedented argument over whether or not to stay.
In the end, the arm is no match for the thigh. The female survivors who have dealt with Nanxing always feel uneasy.
She didn't think Nanxing would be such an easy person to talk to, but the majority of people in the team agreed to stay, so she had to go with the flow.
She knew that these people wanted to stay for other reasons besides the threat from Nanxing. Who wouldn't want a ranch like this?
I just hope her premonition is wrong.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The homeless survivor kept expressing his gratitude and looked longingly at the faucet outside.
"The water is a little hot, be careful." Nanxing said casually after putting on her equipment. She had no intention of telling the names of these survivors.
They are just laborers and consumables. Why should they know each other's names?
The survivors swallowed, licked their dry lips, looked at each other, and then rushed to the faucet at the same time.
Even the female survivor who had always been wary of Nanxing was no exception.
Even if Nanxing wanted to plot against them, there was no need to use such precious water resources.
The faucet was turned on, and clear, sweet water flowed out from it one after another. They stared at the water in a daze and couldn't help crying.
Nan Xing glanced at it and didn't take it seriously at all. He just said, "Hurry up."
Then she walked towards the barn.
Currently, the animals' feed is hay mixed with corn kernels and other feed that have not caused any problems. Nanxing also uses milk to supplement their nutrition.
Anyway, I can’t finish it every day, so it would be a waste and a pity to throw it away.
After picking up all the chicken and duck eggs, Nanxing collected their feces and made compost with the kitchen waste.
She made use of the racks in the shed next door that the original rancher used to grow vegetables, and the vegetables on the rows of racks were growing vigorously.
It just consumes a bit of water, and there is still some distance before delivery.
The power equipment in the ranch area can still be used. After all, it relies on wind power generation. Although the weather is hot, there is not much wind.
But hers is the only household in the entire ranch area that can sustain the operation even if it has enough electricity.
Moreover, the ranch area has human-powered electricity generation such as hand-cranked generators and foot-operated generators, which is how the role of coolies came about.
After watering the wilted seedlings in the shed, Nanxing saw the homeless survivors who had hurriedly washed their hair and showered and finally looked like human beings.
"Let's go." Nanxing walked into the livestock shed, followed by two dogs.
After briefly teaching a female survivor how to milk, Nanxing directly handed the task over to her.
After giving a brief explanation, he led the other survivors towards the pasture behind.
Of course, she didn't forget to pretend to pick up the drilling tools.
She had already dug dozens of meters yesterday, and they had to do the rest.
The shed was still there, and Nanxing sat leisurely in the shed in the orchard watching them busy.
This feeling is really good. No wonder her former evil capitalist boss kept an eye on them while they were working.
The wandering survivors were much more capable than Nanxing. Even in such weather, they quickly dug up groundwater within two hours.
Looking at the water column gushing out, which was completely different from the small stream yesterday, Nanxing knew that they had finally dug up the real underground water layer.
After digging up the water, Nanxing didn’t know what to do with it. Should he wait for it to settle?
It doesn’t matter. She has a water purifier anyway, so it’s the same.
But she didn't need to say that the survivors had already started to deal with it on their own.
However, they did not forget Nanxing's existence and still asked her a question.
"Um, should this well be treated in the normal way?"
"How should we deal with it normally?" Nanxing asked back.
"Dig a little deeper, then install the well frame, fill it with some freshwater river sand, and pump water to wash the well frame for a few days."
"When the well frame is almost clean, drain the water. Wait until it is full of water before draining it out again. This process will continue for half a month to a month."
"Oh." Nanxing nodded. The entire country is an arid area, and there won't be much water underneath.
If the well frame is not cleaned properly according to the normal method, there will be no water.
Besides, she didn't have a pump.
"Okay, that's it. You guys go back and get some water from the tap."
Nanxing took a look at their bulging bodies. They must have been filled with water, and she didn't know where the containers came from.
The wandering survivors turned their heads away uncomfortably. Anyone who didn't steal the water at this time would be a fool!
But now that the ranch has a well, they no longer have to worry about water.
Everyone's face was filled with joy and they didn't notice Nanxing's expression at all.
"Then, shall we go back first?" the wandering survivor asked impatiently.
"Yeah." Nanxing nodded, and the wandering survivors immediately went back to share the good news with their companions.
As soon as they left, Nanxing used a water purifier to pump all the water from the well into the endless water kettle.
