Seeing the man's red face and thick neck from exhaustion, Han Cheng tried to turn the windlass for a while, and then he discovered with embarrassment that the windlass he made was more tiring to use than simply pulling soil up with a rope.
When the hoe is empty, you don't feel anything when stirring it, but when the hoe is full of soil, stirring it becomes really tiring.
After just a quick inspection, Han Cheng and Bo discovered the problem.
It’s not that the windlass is poorly made, but that the frame is not built properly.
When the hoe is filled with soil, the windlass will be pressed hard into the fork, making it difficult to stir.
After discovering the problem, things became easier to solve.
For a tribe that can make two-wheeled donkeys, this problem is really not a big problem. They only need to install the bronze bearings used on the donkey wheels on both ends and improve the frame slightly, and all problems will be solved perfectly.
"Come, come and try it again to see if it works or not."
After reinstalling the windlass, Han Cheng smiled and said to the man who was gasping for breath from exhaustion.
Upon hearing this, the man grasped the handle of the windlass again.
At the beginning, he stirred the water by holding the handle of the windlass with both hands and using a lot of force.
But after stirring it twice, he found that this improved windlass was much lighter than before.
After stirring it twice more, he simply used one hand to hold the handle and stir it, and he didn't feel it was too strenuous.
“It works! It works really well!”
After stirring up a pile of soil with one hand, the man seemed extremely excited and loudly praised the usefulness of the windlass.
When something new is invented, a witch is of course present.
After seeing that this man could stir a heavy load of soil out of the well with just one hand, Wu could no longer bear it and told Han Cheng that he also wanted to try this new tool.
Faced with Wu's request, Han Cheng agreed after a slight hesitation. However, he stood aside while Wu was conducting the experiment, ready to take over and hold the handle of the windlass immediately if Wu could not stir it.
"Alright! Pull!"
The empty casserole was put back into the well, and after a while, a message came from inside indicating that the soil had been filled.
The witch, who had been waiting for a while, perked up after hearing what he said, grasped the handle of the windlass with both hands and began to stir vigorously.
After stirring it twice, I found that it was much easier than I thought.
This discovery made Wu suddenly excited, and he immediately increased the stirring speed.
Seeing this scene, Han Cheng, who was standing aside and ready to take over if Wu ran out of strength, couldn't help but sniff. It seemed that Wu was still in good shape!
After the witch stirred up a pile of soil, Han Cheng did not let him pull it up. Instead, he bent down and reached out to pull the pile of soil out of the well.
After all, Wu is old. He can use a tool like a windlass to pull the heavy water scoop out of the well, but he can't really pull it out by hand.
Looking at the pile of soil that he had stirred up, Wu's neck and face turned red.
He was not tired, but simply excited.
He was old and his strength was gone. Normally, he couldn't even lift such a pile of dirt out of the well.
But now, not only did he do it, but he didn't even feel like it took much effort!
Things like this indirectly prove that he is still relatively young. How can Wu not be excited?
Of course, in addition to this aspect, Wu also thought of other aspects.
He looked at the person standing not far away, whose whole body was round, and remembered the tiredness he felt when he was drowsy at night.
How great would it be if the Son of God could also allow people to create a tool for this purpose, saving people’s effort?
It doesn't need to be as labor-saving as a windlass, it only needs half the labor-saving effect...
When this thought came to his mind, Wu became extremely excited.
He felt that he seemed to have discovered something extremely unusual.
After standing there for a while, Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Son of God, I, I have something to tell you."
Wu spoke to Han Cheng excitedly and walked to a place with fewer people.
Han Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Wu's excited expression.
When people are young, they always look forward to growing up. When they grow up and face all kinds of pressure, they will envy those old people who can do not have to do too much every day, just take a stroll and play with their children.
But when it really comes to that point, I will envy the children for their long life ahead and the strength of the middle-aged people.
Han Cheng understood all of this, so he could roughly understand Wu's mood at the moment and knew why he was so excited.
He simply used the windlass to lift the weight that he could not lift normally, and with the help of the windlass he felt young and strong again.
However, when he followed the witch to a relatively secluded and deserted place and listened to what the witch said, Han Cheng found that he was wrong, and very wrong.
Looking at the witch in front of him who was looking at him excitedly and expectantly, Han Cheng's eyes widened and he fell into a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, Han Cheng turned his neck stiffly to look at the windlass on the well not too far away. After looking for a while, he turned his neck stiffly again to look at the witch in front of him.
What a serious and useful tool that windlass is for the tribe!
But why, in the eyes of the witch, everything becomes not so serious?
Wu, what on earth are you thinking about every day? How did you associate the windlass with sleepiness and make yourself so excited?
Are you still the witch who is devoted to the tribe?
Sure enough, people will change, especially those who have a wife, the changes will be faster and more obvious.
For example, Wu, who has lived a happy old age, now has things in his mind that make even a modern man like Han Cheng feel astonished and a little ashamed.
"Witch, this kind of tool doesn't exist. The tribe can't make it."
Han Cheng shook his head and said to Wu, which seemed very cruel as he broke Wu's beautiful dream.
Wu, who was very excited about his idea, immediately lost his excitement after hearing what Han Cheng said.
He looked at Yuan in the distance who was looking at him, and felt completely drained of energy and exhausted.
Looking at Wu in this state, Han Cheng tried to endure it for a long time but finally couldn't bear it anymore.
As an old man who has lived in caves for a long time, lived with others, heard countless moving songs, and experienced such scenes as joyous gatherings more than once, don't you know that all it takes is one person who can move?
Wouldn't it be more labor-saving if you just stood still? Wouldn't that be better than any tool? Why do you have to think of making some weird tools?
After hearing Han Cheng's words, Wu's eyes lit up, and at the same time, a sense of enlightenment and regret rose up in him.
What the Son of God said seemed to make sense! How come I didn't think of such a simple thing?
"Son of God, you are awesome!"
The witch, who had come to his senses, expressed his heartfelt admiration for Han Cheng and gave a thumbs up to their Son of God.
Han Cheng couldn't help but twitch his face. He had experienced a lot of things in his life and received a lot of praise, but this praise and admiration was what he wanted the least.
Looking at Wu who left happily with his chest puffed out, his head held high, and even his walk looking a little light, Han Cheng couldn't help but twitch his face again.
I thought you were an experienced driver, but I didn't expect that you were a complete rookie, not even as good as me...
After the windlass was successfully made, it was not only the old frivolous Wu who was excited and thrilled, but everyone else was also very happy.
Of course, the happiest ones are the minors in the tribe. They always like to come here when they have nothing to do, always wanting to get a chance to stir the windlass a few times.
Just like when Han Cheng was a kid and rushed to use the well pressure to pump water out.
However, the windlass is different from the well pressure in later generations. The mouth of a well with a well pressure is sealed, while the well with a windlass in the tribe has an open well mouth.
It seems that after the well is dug, we need to ask Bo and the others to make a big well cover, which can be covered when there is no water being drawn, and opened when water is being drawn.
“Water is coming out! God, Son of God! There is water in the well!”
While Han Cheng was standing here thinking about these things, extremely excited shouts suddenly came from the well.
Hearing the shout, Han Cheng was startled and ran to the well.
I came to the well, lay down and looked inside. I saw the man digging in the well, looking up and shouting excitedly.
"Is there a lot of water?"
Han Cheng asked, also with some excitement.
"Not much, just some water!"
The man replied.
"Then dig deeper! Dig a little more!"
Han Cheng raised his voice.
Digging deeper is not only because it can make the well water flow more vigorously, but more importantly, it can store more water in the well.
There are many people in the tribe, and a lot of water is needed just for daily meals, vegetable washing, and bathing. If the well is dug shallow, Han Cheng is worried that there will not be enough food.
"Okay!"
这人痛快的答应了一声，拿起短柄的铜镢头就朝着下面用力刨。
这样刨了一阵儿之后，就出声喊叫，让上面的人将椤头放下来装土。
“好了！拉！”
把椤头装了一个七成满之后，这人出声喊叫。
上面守在井口边上的人，闻言就开始搅动辘轳，片刻之后一椤头土就被拉了上来。
与之前拉上来的土不一样，这次拉上来的土显得湿漉漉的，有浑浊的水滴顺着椤头的缝隙滴落下来。
在部落里没有出去的人，闻听到这个消息，全都围拢了过来，一个个显得极为兴奋。
因为，这代表着他们部落在神子的带领下，又完成了一个前所未有的壮举！
从今以后，他们除了雨水与河水还有雪水之外，又多了一种用来饮水的途径，他们还可以选择吃井水！
而且和雨水以及河水这些不同，井水是自己等人，在神子的指导下，通过自己的努力挖掘出来的！
就跟自己等人，在神子的指导下修建起房屋、围墙，从洞穴之中搬出来，改变居住方式，在神子的带领下开辟出田地，种植庄稼改变了以往依靠打猎和采集来获取食物的方式一样。
以前是依靠大自然，但是现在，自己等人不用依靠雨水与河水，单单是依靠自己的力量也能获取水了！
这种自豪与骄傲，早已经过上更好生活的，习惯了吃自来水的后世人是不太容易体会到的。
不过，作为一个在原始时代生活了十多年的半原始人，并亲自参与到其中的韩成，却是能够体会到这种快活与自豪。
“拿个水罐来，打上来一些水尝尝！”
又往下挖掘了并提出来几椤头的土之后，韩成显得有些激动的对边上的人喊道。
听到他的吩咐之后，立刻就有人从这里跑去厨房，拎着一个空水罐，并顺便拿来了一个陶制的舀子。
将柄不是太长的舀子放到陶罐之中，然后把串陶罐的绳子挂在辘轳绳子上绑着的木钩之上，将它们往下放。
这次，往下放的时候，没敢再如同之前放椤头那样放得这样放心大胆，而是一个人用手虚虚的握着井绳，控制着速度，不让其往下滑的太快。
等到陶制水罐快要落到井底的时候，更是直接把井绳握死，不让其再往下去。
下方等待的那人，则用手接住了放下来的水罐，将之从钩子取下，从中拿出舀子，开始‘刮’井底的水。
经过这一阵儿的泉，再加上又将井往下挖掘了一些的缘故，井下面的已经积攒了一些水。
随着辘轳的不断转动，一罐子浑浑的泥浆水就出现在了众人面前。
韩成拿起舀子，迫不及待的从里面舀出来了半舀子，放在一边等待着这些水变清澈，在这个过程里，整个人显得有些忐忑。
因为不会看水脉的非专业人士往下挖井，有着不小的运气成份在里面。
不是说挖不到水。
只要往下挖的足够深，就是沙漠里面也一样能够挖到水。
而是担心挖到的地下水好不好吃。
地下水这东西很是奇妙，有些时候相隔不过十来米的两口井，里面出来水吃起来就会截然不同。
有的口感好，有的不仅仅吃起来不好吃，用锅稍微一烧，还能留下一层的粉末。
正是因为知道这个情况，韩成才会显得比较忐忑。
倘若部落里挖出来的这一口井，味道不好，且烧滚之后有大量沉淀的话，他一定会让人将之填上，再重新挖掘一口井出来。
毕竟这可是跟健康息息相关的事情。
在这个缺医少药的时代，韩成会尽可能的避免有害健康的东西。
而蕴含杂质过多的水，显然就是一种对人体有些害处的存在。
其余不说，单单是肾结石这一条，一旦得上，就足够人痛苦的了。
与部落里众人的健康相比，多花费上一些力气，根本就算不得什么。
想起肾结石，韩成倒是忽然想起了没有穿越之前曾看到过的一个极为清奇的帖子。
帖子是——你知道吗？其实人类从来都没有停止进化，只不过都被医生给治愈了。
单看帖子，也不觉得清奇在哪里，关键是配上下方的神回复之后，一切也就变得有灵魂了起来。
做恍然大悟状的网友——这么说我体内的金丹被医生当作结石给摘了！
搞笑归搞笑，但类似结石这种的金丹，韩成却一点都不稀罕，更不希望出现在自己体内，这玩意实在是太痛苦了，痛起来能够要人命的那种。
在这样的等待里，水瓢以及水罐里面的水怎么都澄不清了，又等待了一会儿，待到水瓢里面的水稍稍的清澈了一些之后，韩成终于是等不下去了。
他端起显得比较浑的水，凑到嘴边喝了一小口。
刚从地下提出来没多久的井水，入口之后又凉又甜，口感极佳。
一直有些不放心的韩成至此一下子就放下心来。
“神子，好喝吗？”
围拢在周围，看着韩成喝水的巫等人，满是期待的看着韩成，迫不及待的询问。
韩成没有回答众人的话，而是先将口中的水吐掉。
这样的一幕看的满是期待的众人，心中不由的一沉。
这水肯定不是太好喝，不然神子怎么会将之吐掉？
“好喝！特别好喝！你们都尝尝！”
吐掉口中井水的韩成，情绪很高的向部落里的众人热情洋溢的夸赞着井水的滋味。
看起来特别的像后世听信了各种宣传，跑到某号称几A景区旅游之后，大失所望，回来之后面对在同事们的询问，立刻就一副不虚此行，眉飞色舞的开始讲述，把同事也忽悠过去经历一遭的无良人士。
“喝到嘴里尝尝味道就可以了，别咽下去，水还没有澄清，还不能喝。”
韩成补充说道。
这话出口之后，立刻就让周围那些为此疑惑不已的众人恍然大悟起来。
原来是这样！
当即便拿着韩成递出去的舀子，对着这还显得有些浑浊的井水，你一口我一口的尝开了。
亲口品尝到井水的甘甜之后，众人脸上，全都布满了笑容，欢喜的不成样子。
在厨房这边的这口井出水之后，隔了大约半天的时间，位于外院的牲口棚边上的那口井也出水了，这让部落里的众人振奋不已。
而韩成，在让人一边往外刮水，一边继续将井进行加深的同时，也让部落里的一部分人从采石场那里往部落里运送石头。
这些石头是等到将井彻底挖好之后，圈井用的。
所谓的圈井，就是把井打好之后，在距离井底一定距离的井壁上，挖出能够支撑石块、砖之类东西的平台，然后以这里为底，以砖石为原料，贴着井壁一圈圈的垒上来的行为。
用石头圈过的井，可以有效的防止井壁上的泥土发生坍塌，延长水井的使用寿命。
并且，也可以在一定程度上保持井水的洁净。
在韩成这个只动嘴不出力的神子的指导下，四天后，青雀部落的两口井就被彻底修建好了。
在井口的最上边，用了重量差不多得有七八百斤的大石板进行镇压，并且将圆形的井口给砌成方形的，再配上架在井口之上的辘轳，很像那么回事。
“把鱼拿过来。”
韩成趴在井沿上，往水井里面看了看，下方的水倒映出了一方小小的天空，以及他的半个身影的剪影。
井里面的水已经不少了，可以往里面放鱼了。
听到韩成的招呼之后，二师兄就端着一个水盆过来了，水盆里面放着的是四条大约一扎长的鲤鱼。
鲤鱼的尾巴，还有鱼鳍这些位置的颜色都有些泛红，而且嘴边还长有胡须。
韩成就伸手从水盆里面捞出两尾鲤鱼，一手抓着一个，将它们两个同时轻轻的抛进了水里。
鱼与水面接触，发出一些声响，平静的水面泛起圈圈涟漪。
至于两条重新接触到水的鲤鱼，只是把尾巴一摆，就钻进水里消失不见了。
趴在这里看了一会儿之后，韩成就和端着盆子的二师兄一起，到了外院的井边，如法炮制，将剩下的两尾鲤鱼也放了进去。
看着消失不见的鲤鱼，韩成脸上露出笑容。
这当然不是期待着不知道多少年后，几条鲤鱼能有化而为龙，成为守护部落的存在。
而是因为，想起了往井里面放鲤鱼的作用。
一方面，鲤鱼在里面生活，可以吃掉在以后的岁月里产生的虫子以及一些虫卵，让井水尽可能的保持清洁，
另外一方面就是，可以通过鲤鱼来判断井里面的水质是不是坏到了可以吃死人的程度，也能有效的防止有人往井水里面投毒。
当然，这个标准是需要用鲤鱼的生命来进行衡量的。
至于为什么会往里面放入两条，而不是一条，这一方面是担心一条鱼会出现一些意外，可能会死掉，多一条就多了一个保险。
In addition, it is too lonely for a fish to live in a well, and it is prone to depression and loneliness. How can two fish live happily together?
Of course, Han Cheng did not think too much about the details of whether the two carps put into the well together were a male and a female, or two fish of the same gender...
While Han Cheng was squatting beside the well and smiling at the carp in the well, the Qingque tribe's team, led by the eldest brother, finally arrived at the sphere of influence of the Black Stone Tribe coalition after a long journey.
(Sorry for the delay.)
