"Director, you have to believe my sister. She's our family's lucky charm. You know what a lucky charm is? It's someone who's incredibly lucky, blessed by the heavens."
The director looked completely bewildered.
"Let me tell you this: an old Taoist priest once told her fortune, saying that she would succeed in everything she did."
Anyway, Xiaoxi is no simple person. He has witnessed her abilities. If Xiaoxi says she can dig a well, then she can.
So Ye Yanche changed his story and told a little lie.
"Let's get started this afternoon while everyone's here."
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him," and northern men are known for their straightforwardness.
If everyone works together to dig a well, even if it doesn't produce water, it's just that their village isn't lucky. Besides, the young girl just wants to help the village, so how can we really expect her to pay for it?
"Okay, we'll take the wages. It's rare to meet such a cheerful brother and sister like Xiao Ye."
Luo Yifei and Lu Ran, after their brief interaction with Ye Yanche at noon, found that he had none of the arrogance typical of scions of wealthy families.
This friend is someone I can get along with; the key is that hanging out with him seems pretty good.
I should have teamed up with them, but even if we're not in the same group now, it's not too late to build a good relationship.
"Ye Yanche, count Lu Ran and I as co-diggers when we dig the well!"
"That's great!" Ye Yanche readily agreed.
Xiaoxi was very happy to have gained two more people who truly supported her.
The young and strong villagers all stepped forward, while the women and elderly stayed behind to clear the table and clean up the dishes.
While they were at the village committee collecting tools, Xiaoxi was already searching for a water source.
She took out a tortoise shell and a small compass.
I first used a tortoise shell to perform a divination: Today is auspicious for breaking ground and infrastructure construction.
Then they used a small compass to survey the area.
Actually, the small compass was just a decoy; she had a general idea of the direction of the underground river.
Seeing how well the little girl did it, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep respect for her.
Xiaoxi led everyone to the big elm tree at the entrance of the village. This elm tree was particularly vibrant, and the wind blew through its purplish-brown flowers, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to everyone.
Xiao Xi closed her eyes and used her divine sense to sense that there were underground water veins not far underground.
This is it.
The villagers stared wide-eyed. They had dug wells everywhere before, but they never imagined they could find water here.
Seeing that this old elm tree grows lush all year round, could there really be water underground?
Well digging is also a complex and dangerous job, and a series of precautions must be strictly followed.
Xiaoxi followed several experienced villagers to do surveying and planning.
Although she had never dug a well before, she was exceptionally gifted; her calculation speed astonished even the experienced villagers.
Once the plan was in place, everyone started digging.
After observing for a long time, Ye Yanche grasped the key points and, despite everyone's advice against it, decided to dig.
His thought was: if I work quickly, I can finish early and go back to my rooftop to play a few more games.
Xiao Xi knew that Sixth Brother's strength was now astonishing, and she didn't stop him from participating. She just secretly used her divine sense to protect him and the others in the well.
Ye Yanche broke two pickaxes in a row, but the construction speed increased significantly.
Xiaoxi felt that this depth was enough to get out of the water.
"Sixth Brother is coming up soon; now it's time for the technical work."
"Oh, Xiaoxi, how deep is it? You're already building the foundation stone at the bottom of the well after only three or four meters?"
"Trust me, everyone. Xiaoxi can feel it. At this depth, we can get out of the water as early as after dark, or at the latest by tomorrow morning."
Everyone believed her because they saw that Xiaoxi had just used the tortoise shell compass again.
Didn't they prepare for the possibility of running out of water at the beginning?
The villagers all followed Xiaoxi's instructions and completed the work on the well base and well walls.
Then, everyone agreed to come back tomorrow morning to see the results.
