When Haitang returned, Shiming arrived in a wheelchair. Haitang exclaimed, "It's done so quickly?"
"It's not fast at all, it took seven days," Shi Ming said. "We agreed on three days, but those people got carried away with their drinking." Hearing this, Haitang nodded. The stone circle was about a meter in diameter, which was quite wide.
When Haitang saw this, she immediately said, "Third Uncle, find me a few people and tell them to come and dig a well for me tomorrow." Shi Ming nodded as Haitang spoke.
Haitang told Shihu about wanting to dig a well. Shihu was stunned for a while before nodding, "Oh, you handle it. Do you need our help?"
"No need, I'll ask my third uncle to come and do the work tomorrow, and I'll pay him." Haitang said, and Shi Hu nodded when he heard this.
"By the way, some more orcs have come to the tribe these days. There haven't been many conflicts, but they asked if we could mark out a territory not far away. However, Huo Qiu and the others disagreed. Those people won't leave anytime soon, so be careful when you go out."
"Father, are the losses inside really that serious?" Haitang asked, a little worried. Where exactly were the losses severe?
"Yes, judging from the way those people looked, it's true; the losses were severe." Hearing this, Haitang nodded, feeling a sense of fear towards natural and man-made disasters.
Shi Hu said to Haitang, "Don't think too much. We'll be fine here." Haitang nodded upon hearing this.
Shi Hu and Dongfang Long went hunting the next day, and the people Haitang had found also arrived. Under these circumstances, they were assigned a place to dig a pit. At first, they dug a very wide pit, and Haitang planned to pile up the soil and take it back later.
"Why are we digging a hole?" Several people didn't understand, but since they had been given something, they didn't ask any more questions. The group started digging frantically with stones. It has to be said that the human race has a very high level of digging ability.
In just a short while, they had dug two meters deep. Shi Ming directed about four people to come and help. By the afternoon, they heard, "There's water...there's water..."
Haitang was cooking not far away when she heard Xingxing's words. She quickly told Xingxing to watch the fire and ran over to see. "There really is water coming out. Put the stone ring down and then push the soil..." Haitang said.
Several people nodded, and as the stone ring was placed down, soil began to be piled up in the narrow gap next to it. When Haitang watched, she was a little surprised by these people; their labor capacity was truly extraordinary.
Under these circumstances, the well was about five meters deep. Haitang had the other party dig a few more times before pulling them up. The well wasn't filled with water at first, and Haitang used the water to irrigate the vegetable garden not far away.
"This is really good, it's just that the water is a bit dirty." Several people started pointing and talking when they saw it. Haitang told them to go wash their hands and eat.
The group of people nodded, ate their food, and asked Haitang what the well was for. Haitang smiled and said, "You'll find out in a few days." She explained that they shouldn't use it for now; once the water is clear enough, they would use it for cooking and other purposes.
When they saw the people off, Xingxing was climbing not far away. Haitang said, "Isn't it amazing?" Xingxing nodded.
Haitang said, "But be careful, if you fall, you'll be in big trouble, so you can't climb like that." Upon hearing this, Xingxing nodded.
Ping An ran over and hugged Haitang's leg, "Sister...I...I want to..." She said she wanted to see, but Haitang didn't let the little one see it because it was night.
They simply carried it away and left. When Shi Hu and the others returned, they all went to check on the water. "Did you brothers pour the water in?"
"No, the water just seeped out of the ground." Hearing this, Shi Hu peeked inside, only to be grabbed by the waist by Xingxing and Yueyue. "Dad, Sister says it's dangerous for you to do this, you can't..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Hu nodded and didn't look anymore. He just felt a little sentimental, thinking that it would be easier to go shopping with water in the future. Dongfang Long also looked at it and felt that Haitang would have an even easier time in the future.
While eating, Haitang made barbecue and cooked rice balls for everyone, which were all their favorites. "Tomorrow, we'll have hot pot..."
"Okay, whatever you say." Dongfang Long nodded and said, "Tangtang, didn't you say you wanted a bathtub before? I saw a very big bamboo today, it's this big. I'll bring it back for you tomorrow. Now that we have water at home, we won't have to go outside to fetch water anymore, and we can use the bathtub."
Shi Hu looked at Haitang and asked, "What do you want... a bathtub? Why didn't you tell your father? Is it for taking a bath?"
"Cough cough... Hmm, it works a bit better, but if we really use this thing, we'll get a few more. One for me and Xiaohe, one for Xingxing and Yueyue, and one for Ping'an. It doesn't matter whether you three grown men use it or not." They weren't afraid of the cold.
Several times, Dongfang Long dared to take a bath on snowy days, which amazed Haitang. When she heard this, Dongfang Long immediately nodded and made up his mind to tow the car there the next day.
When Shi Hu looked at Dongfang Long, he felt a little jealous. His daughter told Dongfang Long everything, but not her father. He felt a little sad. Haitang, unaware of Shi Hu's thoughts, was still eating her meal.
“Father, it didn’t rain at all this spring,” Haitang said, and Shihu nodded.
"It's probably due to the weather, it's a bit difficult, but it won't be a big problem, it will be better next year." He said, looking at Haitang. Upon hearing this, Haitang nodded.
