Lin Sanqi didn't want to become the country's exclusive water-finding tool. The drought was so widespread across the country, especially in the northern provinces, where water was scarce everywhere.
Not only is industrial and agricultural water supply not guaranteed, but in some places even domestic water supply has become difficult.
In this serious situation, if the relevant departments knew that Lin Sanqi could find groundwater, it goes without saying that they would force him to search all over the mountains and plains and all over the country for groundwater without giving him any rest.
This is not a question of voluntary or not, because water is related to everyone's survival. It is a huge matter, an overriding matter.
Compared with the national drought, Lin Sanqi's personal safety is nothing.
This is different from "selling" food.
Although grain is precious, from a national perspective, a few hundred tons more or less of grain is not a big deal. The country will not even bat an eye at this little bit of grain, nor will it target you personally.
Therefore, Lin Sanqi was very cautious when looking for water and must not let anyone see him.
Perhaps someone else would say, since you, Lin Sanqi, have this kind of instrument and the ability, why don’t you purchase tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of geophysical water-finding instruments and well-drilling machines and give them to the country to help the country?
A well drilling machine alone is not enough, it also requires matching consumables such as probes and probe tubes. The water meter requires batteries, which are also not available in China.
Then the machine breaks down, the computer board burns out, the LCD screen doesn't light up, etc. How do you repair it? This machine is too advanced and too far ahead of its time. It is far beyond the ability of people in the 1960s to repair it.
Whether it is a well drilling rig or a water pump, they all need electricity to drive them, but there is no electricity in most parts of the country, so you can't operate them.
The key point is that Lin Sanqi knew that a good comrade named Xiaoqiang had already done the same thing before. He brought in all kinds of machines, made outstanding contributions, and then... ahem... entered the palace...
In the quiet of the night, everyone on the farm was asleep.
The few street lights that were left were turned off by Lin Sanqi in advance. The entire farm, or rather the entire Ming Tombs, had no light except for the ghost lights.
On a dark and windy night, it is time for murder and arson.
Lin Sanqi held the geophysical water detector and began to quietly search for groundwater in the fields throughout the farm.
He first went to the west side of the farm to look for it. Previous exploration of the farm showed that the ground here was all rocky and not suitable for drilling wells. But for Lin Sanqi, who had a well drilling machine, the rocks were not a problem.
The question is whether there is an underground river under the rock?
The geophysical water-finding instrument in Lin Sanqi's hand is an imported product. As a civilian model, it can generally detect a distance of 300 meters underground. This is also the limit of civilian well drilling rigs. To go deeper, a large drilling rig is needed.
Lin Sanqi took the sensor stick and surveyed almost the entire west side of the farm, but he couldn't find any water source. He couldn't help but feel discouraged.
As a last resort, we had to pack up our machines and head north to look for it in the direction of Xingfu River.
We did find an underground water source here, but the scale of the water source is very small. It is enough for domestic use, but it is far from enough to irrigate 1,000 acres of farmland.
To the east is the well for drinking water, but Lin Sanqi gave up.
Finally, he even went to the office area in the south to look for water sources, but still found no trace of groundwater. Lin Sanqi was scratching his head.
Outside the farm, the land belongs to the surrounding villages. If groundwater is found in someone else's field, who will get the water once a well is dug?
It is entirely conceivable that the peasants of the Ming Tombs would certainly seize the well, claim it as their own, and would not even let the Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm have a share.
In the face of major disasters, don't expect any spirit of humility or dedication.
Even if Lin Sanqi knew where the water source was in advance and asked his superiors to mark out the land in advance, as soon as a well was dug, the original owner of the land would definitely tear up the transfer agreement and cause trouble.
This made Lin Sanqi sigh, it seemed that God really wanted to destroy the Chinese medicine hospital.
It was already dawning, and Lin Sanqi was worried about not finding any groundwater. At this moment, an old man walked out of the bungalow dormitory. He bent over, kicked his feet, and jogged a few steps, obviously doing morning exercises.
When Mr. Shi Jinmo was doing exercise, he found Lin Sanqi sitting on the ground, holding his chin as if he was troubled by something, so he became curious.
"Hey, Xiaoqi, why are you sitting here in a daze so early this morning? Did you have a quarrel with Xiaoyezi?"
Lin Sanqi saw his master coming and quickly stood up:
"Grandpa, I'm really worried. You see, the seeds have been planted, but now the water source is still not solved. Our farm can't continue. It's a waste of my good crops."
After hearing this, Mr. Shi stood up straight, facing north and seemed to be looking at the Yanshan Mountains in the distance.
"When digging wells, you can't just dig randomly. A few days ago, I saw Dean Ji and Section Chief Yang digging wells everywhere. After digging a meter or two, they found nothing but rocks. If I remember correctly, they dug three times in the west, four times in the north, once in the east, and once in the south.
In the end, they didn't find any water, and they were exhausted. In fact, they had fallen into a misunderstanding. Whether digging a well or finding an acupuncture point, there are certain patterns to be found. If you find the pattern, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you can't find it, you will return empty-handed.
Lin Sanqi understood what was going on and asked in surprise:
"Master, when you talk about digging wells and locating acupuncture points, do we have to follow Feng Shui?"
Mr. Shi smiled and said, "Do you believe in our traditional Feng Shui?"
Lin Sanqi looked around to make sure no one could hear him, then nodded repeatedly, "I believe it, I believe it. Feng Shui is very important."
People in the south believe in Feng Shui the most, especially in the provinces and Hong Kong. No matter what they do, they must first find a Bodhisattva or a Feng Shui master to calculate the good or bad luck.
Even in a prosperous metropolis like Hong Kong, the financial and economic center of Central, where all the employees are elite white-collar workers, they still believe in feng shui. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a melodrama as the "Central Feng Shui War."
Lin Sanqi was the most pious person when he worshipped in the ancestral hall every year, so naturally he believed very much in the theories of ghosts and gods, or feng shui.
Mr. Shi laughed when he heard it:
"I almost forgot you're from Guangzhou. If you believe in Feng Shui, I'll give you a mantra:
The word "block" is the most important to be very clear. The dragon and tiger are both examined clearly. Sand and water are used to block and protect. There is a sense of going and coming. Just like water should flow straight, it will turn back if blocked. This is used in both clear and complex structures. Block the sand, water and air flow."
Lin Sanqi blinked, not quite understanding this. After all, Southern Feng Shui emphasizes throwing the Holy Grail, a crescent-shaped bamboo object.
There are generally three results when throwing a holy grail. If one is heads and the other is tails, it means that the gods agree to what you have asked for.
If both cups are heads, it means that the statement is unclear or the opportunity has not yet arrived, and the gods need to make a decision and ask again. Some people also explain that the question raised has already been determined and there is no need to ask more questions.
If both cups face up opposite, it is a crying cup, which means that the gods do not agree with what people ask for.
Therefore, whether the feng shui in the south is good or not, in addition to surveying the terrain, it is more important to see whether the gods or ancestors agree, which is the key.
Just like when Hu Jianren wanted to go abroad, he just had to throw the holy grail in front of Mazu, and Mazu would agree, and he could pick up his luggage and board the ship and set off.
Don't worry about whether today is a good day to travel according to the lunar calendar, or whether the other country will issue a visa...
The Northern School of Feng Shui is more disciplined, emphasizing that every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every river has a fixed number, and several Feng Shui conditions must be met to be a Feng Shui treasure land.
Therefore, the skilled tomb robbers in the north do not need to check whether there is a grave mound or not. They only need to look at the surrounding Feng Shui pattern to find the tomb and even accurately point out the location of the main coffin.
"Master, um, um, I'm looking for water, not tombs. Although the Thirteen Tombs are mostly tombs, and they're filled with treasures, there are too many traps."
Mr. Shi was a little stunned: "The mechanism is all legend..."
Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed: "I'm talking about the public security agency..."
"Hahaha, kid, why would I let you rob a tomb when you can? Besides, what era is this? Antiques and curios are worthless. Do you believe that if the people were asked to choose between the second best running script in the world, Yan Zhenqing's "Eulogy for My Nephew", and 100 kilograms of rice, which would they choose?"
Old Man Shi was obviously in a good mood, so he patiently explained:
"Feng Shui teaches us how to find the best location for a burial site. Dragon, cave, sand and water are the four most basic reference standards.
The motto I gave you is to teach people how to avoid water sources when choosing a site, to prevent water from entering the underground palace in the future. But if you think about it the other way around, isn't it also telling you where there is water?
Lin Sanqi understood immediately and stood up quickly:
"Master, you know Feng Shui, so tell me quickly, where is the source of water on our farm?"
Mr. Shi chuckled:
"I can't guarantee other places, but the layout of these Thirteen Tombs is completely in line with Feng Shui. It's very regular, so it's not difficult to locate acupuncture points or water sources. Xiaoqi, just look at the direction of these mountains in front of you and you'll find the pattern."
The fields of the Chinese Medicine Hospital farm were vaguely surrounded by mountains on three sides. Tianshou Mountain, the highest in the north, was flanked by smaller mountains on either side, forming a semi-enclosed structure. The south, like an exit, was where the hospital and dormitories were located.
This layout is equivalent to the Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm being a semi-independent piece of land. Over the hill on the right is other villages, and over the hill on the left is Siling.
If an experienced person takes a look, he will know that this is not the best feng shui site, and the emperor would not look down on it, but it is also a good site, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen’s Siling Mausoleum would not be next door.
Lin Sanqi looked for a long time but couldn't see anything. There were only mountains. What was different about the mountains?
"Master, I really don't see it. Can you explain it to me?"
Mr. Shi was not angry either. He had a good temper, so he pointed to the highest mountain in front of him and said:
"Look at this mountain. It's called the Main Mountain, also known as the Black Tortoise. With this mountain as the center, there are other minor mountains and ancestral mountains behind it, but we won't worry about that for now. On either side of the Main Mountain, you can see several small mountain ranges extending out like claws, forming an embrace.
These two hills are very particular. The one on the left is called White Tiger Hill, and the one on the right is called Green Dragon Hill. However, the front is missing a table hill, so the layout is incomplete, so it is destined not to become the emperor's mausoleum, which is a pity.
Lin Sanqi thought, what a pity, I want to be buried in Huadu after I die, it is better for the Ming Tombs not to be jealous, and just tell me where the water source is. I have wasted so many words, the readers will scold me.
Mr. Shi was in a good mood today. He took Lin Sanqi and slowly walked towards the mountain. Then the two of them slowly began to climb the mountain.
Standing on a raised rock halfway up the mountain, Mr. Shi observed for a long time, then pointed at a spot and said:
"If we want to build a tomb, oh, that is, a grave, it will definitely be built in that place."
Lin Sanqi took advantage of the morning sun's light to take a closer look. "Is that the place with the earth pit?"
"Yes, right there. Dean Ji and his team tried to dig a well here before. Although this location is all soil and no sand or gravel, it is absolutely impossible to get water. So the well was dug in vain."
From the perspective of Feng Shui, water must never appear in the place where the underground palace is built. If water appears, construction must be stopped and a new site must be moved.
Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty chose to destroy the entire mausoleum because there was water in the underground palace, and found a piece of land in the Western Qing Tombs to rebuild it.
Lin Sanqi was a little dissatisfied:
"Master, I heard that the Yuling and Jingling Mausoleums in the Eastern Qing Tombs are both flooded, which means that this dragon-finding and acupuncture point-finding technique may not be accurate."
Mr. Shi nodded:
"It's certainly not 100% accurate, just like when we doctors treat patients. Are you absolutely sure you can cure them? So some errors are normal. However, the overall feng shui of the Eastern Qing Tombs is problematic. Both Empress Dowager Cixi's Dingxi Mausoleum and Emperor Guangxu's Chongling Mausoleum were flooded."
Lin Sanqi thought, the Eastern Qing Tombs don't have bad feng shui, the Thirteen Tombs and the Western Qing Tombs are both very peaceful, but the Eastern Qing Tombs have been completely looted. That doesn't make sense, it seems the grave of the crematorium wasn't looted.
Old Master Shi pointed his finger again, pointing south, and Lin Sanqi's gaze also moved south.
"If this is an underground palace, look along the foot of White Tiger Mountain. Is there a stream without water?"
"Yes, isn't this the River of Happiness?"
"Then look at the edge of Qinglong Mountain. Isn't there a small ditch there as well?"
Lin Sanqi took a closer look. If the Xingfu River was relatively obvious, the area at the foot of Qinglong Mountain could only be described as a ditch, and there was no water in it.
"Master, are you saying there's something special about these two streams?"
Mr. Shi used a branch to draw a diagram on the ground:
"The two Qinglong Mountains and Baihu Mountains are embracing each other, surrounding our farm. The two streams flow in this way. They are not visible now because there is no water, but they will be very obvious if there is a heavy rain.
From a feng shui perspective, the two streams can be called "Tiger Water" and "Dragon Water," and the point where the two waters converge is called the "Water Mouth." When entering a mountain, one seeks the Water Mouth, and when climbing a cave, one seeks the Bright Hall. Therefore, the Water Mouth is where the Dragon Qi thrives, as feng shui says. Do you understand?
Lin Sanqi held his chin and thought:
"Master, are you saying that this water outlet with the strongest dragon energy has some special features?"
Mr. Shi laughed:
"If you insist on finding water somewhere, this is the most likely place. If there's no water at the water outlet, then you can forget about finding a water source on our farm."
Lin Sanqi thought this statement was really mysterious, but he was now forced into a desperate situation and this was his only chance.
As the morning began, more people came and Lin Sanqi put away the geophysical water-finding instrument.
While following the main group to farm during the day, Lin Sanqi had been looking for the location of this "water outlet", and roughly determined that it was a little south of the cornfield.
Because there are obvious traces of a stream here, although it is very shallow.
That night, Lin Sanqi quietly came to the "water mouth" with a geophysical water-finding instrument. As soon as the detection rod was released, an underground space appeared on the screen, about 120 meters deep from the ground.
Lin Sanqi took out his cell phone again and compared it with the pictures sent by the drilling rig owner, confirming that this was the location of the groundwater he had dreamed of.
"Haha, God bless the Chinese Medicine Hospital, I'm not going to die!!!"
Looking at the time, it was only 8 o'clock in the evening. Lin Sanqi thought that there was still time, so he might as well deal with this deep water well tonight.
However, when the drilling rig is working, the banging sound is very loud, and there will definitely be people coming to watch the fun. This must be stopped. If there are too many people watching, the news will be spread immediately due to the gossip.
Lin Sanqi found Vice President Ji.
When Vice President Ji heard that Lin Sanqi had obtained a set of well-drilling equipment, he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. Then he was ecstatic:
"Good boy, Xiao Qi, you really always surprise me. What else can I say? We will start work tomorrow. Now we have everything ready, we just need the east wind."
Lin Sanqi pretended to be mysterious and said:
"Deputy Ji, this machine of mine is, ahem, a bit sensitive. It's not from our country. So the well drilling needs to be kept secret. We'll start the operation tonight. Arrange someone to block the dormitory door and prevent anyone from coming out. Arrange two more people to operate it with me."
Deputy Ji knew that Lin Sanqi had "mysterious overseas connections", so he was not surprised at all when Lin Sanqi said that he had obtained a well drilling machine from abroad. He also knew the consequences of such a leak.
"Okay then. I'll have Shao Lecheng from the Security Department lead the team to enforce martial law. If you need any small jobs, Yang Shaohua from the General Affairs Department and I will personally assist you. We'll try not to let outsiders know."
Lin Sanqi thought this was the best approach: "Okay, thank you and Uncle Yang for your hard work. This is physically demanding work."
"What's the hardship? You've even got advanced machinery from abroad. How can we say it's hard work? As long as I have water, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life."
In the evening, the Changping branch immediately took action.
In the quiet night, there was a sudden roar of an engine coming from the other side of the field, which was very abrupt.
It was only 9 o'clock in the evening and most people were still asleep. When they heard the noise, they all got up and wanted to see what was going on.
As soon as I walked out the door, Shao Lecheng from the Security Department shouted downstairs:
"Everyone go back and stay indoors tonight. The relevant departments are digging a well for us in the fields outside. Everyone, please don't stand around and go back to sleep."
At this time, the people were well-behaved. When they heard that it was a special department taking action, they hurried back into the house.
In the cornfield, darkness is the best cover.
The deepwater well drilling rig was working hard, and suddenly all the probes were buried in the ground. At this time, new probes needed to be replaced.
A probe is 6 meters long and weighs more than 100 kilograms. Lin Sanqi, Vice President Ji, and Section Chief Yang lifted it up with great effort and then used all their strength to stand the probe upright.
One end is connected to the old probe and then welded, and the other end is connected to the "drilling rig". This process looks simple, but it is very physically demanding.
Lin Sanqi had previously detected groundwater at a depth of 120 meters underground, so at least 20 probe tubes would have to be replaced, which was definitely a major project.
Fortunately, this deep-water well drilling rig is the latest model with strong horsepower, and the probe can drill the well very quickly.
The drilling rig was running until 3 a.m. When Lin Sanqi was still adding diesel to the machine, the drill head, which had been making very noisy noises, suddenly became quiet, and even the drilling rig vibrated.
Then I heard a gurgling sound coming from the pipe.
Lin Sanqi, Vice President Ji, and Section Chief Yang all felt a little strange.
"Xiao Qi, why did the sound suddenly change? Is the drill broken?"
Lin Sanqi himself was a novice, so he had no idea what this meant. He wondered if this was the same as a thoracotomy. Did the drill hit the area where the chest was filled with water, causing the resistance to disappear?
Everyone was puzzled. Lin Sanqi turned off the drilling rig and the three of them climbed up to the copper mouth.
"There seems to be a sound?"
"Is this the sound of air flowing?"
"Why do I feel like the sound of running water?"
"Did something rush up through the pipe?"
Before the three men could react, a radical stream of water suddenly spurted out from the pipe, hitting their faces and bodies directly, and directly spraying them out and making them fall upside down.
Before Lin Sanqi could cry out in pain, he felt a heavy rain falling from the sky, and he was instantly soaked.
"Hahaha~~~ Water is coming out, Lao Ji, Lao Yang, water is coming out~~~"
Vice President Ji didn't care about the pain and quickly got up, looking ecstatic:
"Water, really water, it's gushing out, oh my god, so much water, hurry up and catch it, don't waste it~~~"
Section Chief Yang is also crazy:
"Wow, there's so much water! We won't be short of water anymore. Our crops are saved~~~"
In the entire Ming Tombs, or the entire Changping area of thousands of square kilometers, there is only one deep water well like the one at the Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm. The groundwater finds this only outlet, and the pressure suddenly bursts.
Lin Sanqi succeeded in digging a well on his first try, and it was a jet well, so there was no need to install a water pump.
The three people in the field sang and danced like crazy, and soon attracted the attention of the staff of the Chinese medicine hospital again.
Everyone was lying in bed, listening intently:
"Am I hallucinating? I seem to hear the sound of running water..."
"Who's yelling? Such a lowbrow voice! Why does it sound like Dean Ji's..."
"Who is it? Are you crazy? Look at the time..."
Only Mr. Shi was lying on the bed. He first heard the sound of running water, then heard Lin Sanqi's crazy roar. He smiled slightly in the dark night, turned over and continued to sleep.
The next day, after getting up, the staff of the Chinese medicine hospital ran to the cornfield without even having time to eat, wash their faces or brush their teeth.
Then everyone was stunned.
They saw a huge stream of water coming out of the ground in the middle of the field.
After several hours of spraying, the water no longer rushed up to the sky like a "fountain", but like the Baotu Spring in Jinan, it gushed out quickly from the ground, and a huge pool of water had formed around it.
Lin Sanqi has already hidden the well drilling machine.
At this time, he, Vice President Ji, and Section Chief Yang were all as frightened as clay figures, shouting at everyone desperately:
"Everyone, grab your tools! Hurry up and dig canals and reservoirs. Now we have water. We won't be afraid of drought anymore."
When the men saw that there was water, they all excitedly took their tools and started working.
The female staff members were equally excited: "Vice President Ji, there's so much water. Can we use it to take a shower later?"
Vice President Ji waved his hand and said, "Let's wash. Our hospital has built a large bathhouse. We won't be short of water anymore. We can wash ourselves clean every day~~~"
"Great~~~" (End of this chapter)
