Chapter 96 The County Magistrate is Crazy
Five feet!
They had never dug such a deep well!
How much time and effort this will take.
The key is whether water can be dug out in the end.
"Mrs. Sang, you have to give us a convincing reason." Yue Buyuan said.
Generally, when digging a well, if there is a water source underneath, a depth of more than two meters is enough.
The well that was dug here before was deeper, more than three zhang and five feet.
When we dug to the back, we found dense tree roots but no water.
"I have my own secrets, and I don't need to tell you, but I guarantee with my life that there must be water within five meters."
No water?
She brought out the spiritual spring!
However, Bai Yi remained unmoved.
“Madam Sang, this is not the capital city where the imperial power is strict. Although I govern strictly, I will not take off anyone’s head for this matter.
You don't have to worry about me getting angry with the Huo family, after all, you're really looking for water."
Sang Ning was helpless.
Why doesn't this person believe it?
"You've brought all the people here, so what if you dig a little?"
"I don't have that much time or manpower. I still need to lead others to continue searching for water, and I also need to assign people to carry water from the inner mountains to ensure the lives of the people. Also... I don't know if your bowl-covering method will work. Anyway, so far, no water has been detected anywhere."
After Bai Yi finished speaking, Xu Wude interrupted: "I borrowed my bowl, and I haven't returned it yet..."
Bai Yi was so angry that he yelled again: "If you can't find the water, I won't return it!"
"If you don't want to return it, then don't. I've done a good deed. But, County Magistrate, I have to remind you that the day before yesterday, ten of my family's guards went into the mountains, and only seven returned. Three were dragged away by blind bears. I don't know how so many ferocious beasts suddenly appeared. If you go, be well prepared."
When the officers heard this, they all looked horrified.
Everyone has elderly parents and young children.
If something happens...
Sang Ning saw the right moment and continued, "You guys frequently go into the mountains, so the wild animals are naturally alert. Since ancient times, humans and animals have lived in separate areas so that they can coexist harmoniously. You've entered someone else's territory, so how can they not teach you a lesson?
Fortunately, the wolves did not come out. If they had, dozens of people would not have been able to return."
Everyone's face looked even worse.
Su Huiye yelled, "Fuck!" "Old Bai! Go ahead and dig! It's only five meters. With so many people working day and night, we can finish it in three days!"
Ding San also carefully advised: "Sir, just think of it as digging two wells. Maybe we really dug too shallow before. Madam Sang even used the most unlikely method to put out the fire! Is she talking nonsense?"
What else can I say? There is no other way.
Let’s do it!
So, we started measuring, setting up the wheel frame, and lowering the cone head.
According to Sang Ning, the diameter of the hole dug directly was three meters.
In this way, people no longer have to queue up to get water.
On the first day, everyone was focused and full of energy.
The next day, the well was dug to ten meters overnight. Everyone's enthusiasm was not as high as before, and everyone's face was tense and solemn.
At night, Bai Yi and Rong Kun set up a tent and slept here.
On the morning of the third day, the water level reached four zhang, about thirteen meters.
There was not enough oxygen underground, so the progress was slow and we had to go down in turns, two by two.
There was still no sign of water, and the tree roots began to be carried upwards in piles.
"You stay here and I'll go back first." Bai Yi said to Rong Kun.
Rong Kun knew that he didn't dare to look anymore.
I didn’t sleep well last night. I tossed and turned and ran out to check what was going on again and again.
He sat up when someone spoke, hoping it was the good news of the water being drawn.
Why!
If I stay any longer, I'm going to go crazy.
It’s better to leave.
Seeing hope shattered with my own eyes is a blow I can’t bear.
When Bai Yi was about to leave, Sang Ning and others came again.
Sanning would come once a day, say some encouraging words and then leave.
Before, I felt that after listening to it, I became more confident and motivated.
Now Bai Yi didn't want to hear a word.
"It's almost there, the water will be out soon."
Sang Ning looked at the dark bottom of the well and said.
It’s time to dig out water. Do we really have to dig to five meters?
If we were to release spiritual spring water, how much would we need?
"Madam Sang, it's already four and a half feet, but there's still no water stain in the soil." Ding San said listlessly as he sat on the ground.
"Well, we're still half a foot away. We're almost out of the water. Hang on."
Will water really come out? Ding San smiled bitterly.
It’s not easy to dig to a depth of five meters.
There are obviously more stones in the soil now, and it is hard to breathe underneath, so I can’t dig much in half a day.
Bai Yi stopped listening after hearing this.
I walked back feeling top-heavy.
Suddenly, in a daze, he heard an inhuman scream.
"The water is coming out——it——it——"
I'm hallucinating again.
But whoever screams when water is splashed out should be shouting with joy.
This illusion is also quite confusing.
Maybe he's lost his mind.
"Out of the water! Out of the water! My Lord, out of the water!"
Many people were screaming.
Without Bai Yi knowing it, his body had already automatically run back. Because he was in too much of a hurry, he tripped over a rock and broke his arm without caring about it.
Then get up and keep running.
He saw a group of people gathered around the well, all with strange expressions on their faces, as if they were excited, yet also terrified.
His eyes were as wide as copper bells.
What's this expression?
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, there's one more and one more. Wang Huzi can't swim, pull him up first!" Rong Kun jumped up and down at the well and gave orders in a very ungraceful manner.
What's going on?
When Sang Ning turned around, he saw Bai Yi running towards him.
She laughed loudly and slapped Bai Yi with her hand, almost knocking him to the ground.
"Hahahaha—Old White! I said there's water! Hahahaha—those who believe in me, there's water to drink!"
Huo Jingya: "Hahahahaha——Believe in Fourth Sister-in-law, there's water to drink!"
Bai Yi: “…”
Finally, he came to the well.
The scene before him stunned him.
God, even in his dreams, he never dared to ask for such a thing.
water!
Plenty of water.
It's like accidentally puncturing a water tank, and the water gushes out in a jet-like manner. It rises layer by layer visibly to the naked eye, and because the speed is too fast, it takes on a vortex shape.
The brothers digging the well inside were spinning in circles in the vortex.
Like a happy duck.
Bai Yi's mind was empty.
Just happy ducks.
He also wants to be a happy duck.
When Rong Kun and his friends pulled up the last wet brother, they heard a "plop".
"Who fell?"
"Sir...it's the County Magistrate!"
"He didn't fall, he jumped down by himself." Sang Ning said casually.
I didn’t expect Bai Yi to be such a reserved person.
You jump in with all your dirt on you. Is this water meant to be drunk?
All I could hear was the sound of happy splashing coming from the well.
"There's water! There's water!"
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
“Haha ...——”
It’s over, the county magistrate has gone crazy!
