"Is it deep?"
"Well... a little deeper..."
In the backyard of the stone house, Hu Jiaojiao squatted on the ground, in front of a dark hole, Long Mo was digging the dirt at the bottom of the hole.
The four cubs squatted on the other side of the black hole like little quails, looking down with curiosity and expectation, and whispered to each other.
"What is a well?"
"Xiaowu also has a neck, but no water flows out of Xiaowu's neck, only blood..."
"Can you dig out water by digging like this? Isn't that harder than chiseling ice?"
"Look, there's water!"
The four cubs were whispering to each other, and Long Yu suddenly cried out and pointed to the bottom of the hole.
Hu Jiaojiao heard the sound and looked down.
Long Mo poked with his claws, and the bottom seemed to be pierced through. A small water column emerged from the bottom, gradually getting bigger, and the overflowing water slowly rose.
Hu Jiaojiao seemed to feel a hot current coming.
It was the temperature of the groundwater.
"Long Mo, it's okay, come up quickly!" Hu Jiaojiao waved at Long Mo.
Long Mo responded, and before leaving, he grabbed the wall with one hand and poked through the entire bottom of the cave with the other hand, and then climbed directly to the cave entrance with his arm strength.
The water level of the well water also rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It did not stop until it rose to a certain position.
"Long Mo, you are amazing. You dug the well in just a short while." Hu Jiaojiao came forward to help him clean the dust from his hair, with a look of joy in her eyes.
From now on, they don't have to go to the river to fetch water, they can use well water.
Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is much more convenient than river water. In summer, you can even freeze fruits.
Long Mo leaned forward so that Hu Jiaojiao could reach his head from behind.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's generous praise, he pursed his lips, a smile appeared in his cold eyes, and whispered:
"You taught well."
His eyes seemed to never care about what he had done, and were full of Hu Jiaojiao's efforts.
Their faces were close together, and a faint body fragrance lingered at the tip of Long Mo's nose, instantly diluting the unpleasant smell of soil on his body.
Even when he lived in the forest, he hated having strange smells on his body the most, and he always cleaned himself up thoroughly, like a weird dragon with a cleanliness fetish.
But for Vixen, he dug the soil quickly and neatly, without any hesitation or disgust.
Vixen carefully cleaned the dust on her hair, and suddenly her eyes met Long Mo's deep eyes. The low voice that floated into her ears was like pulled cheese, extremely sticky.
Her heart skipped a beat.
This guy, when did his mouth become so sweet?
Hu Jiaojiao lightly hit his chest, turned around and saw that the four kids were about to stick half of their bodies into the well, and hurriedly stopped them:
"Yu'er, quickly take them up, or they will fall in."
The well without a fence was still too dangerous for the kids.
Hearing this, Long Yu and the others withdrew their bodies and moved to the side.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Mo, "Do you still have the materials for building the stone house at home?"
She wanted to build a fence next to the well to prevent the kids from accidentally falling in.
"Yes, I'll get it." Long Mo walked out of the yard without saying a word, and soon he came back with a big bag of materials.
There were stones and sticky resin in it. There were still a lot of them left from building the stone house before, and they were not afraid of wind and rain, so they were all piled up next to the cabin.
"How do we do it?" Long Mo asked as he poured out the materials in the bag.
"Pick smaller stones and build a wall half a person's height around the well." Foxy Jiaojiao stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Long Mo.
Foxy Jiaojiao looked at him strangely, asking what was wrong with her eyes.
"Don't get your gloves dirty, I'll do it."
Foxy Jiaojiao's gloves were white, made of the softest animal skin.
Originally, she was going to do the same as them and make black ones, but Long Mo saw it and insisted that she make white ones.
What else can he say? Females should use beautiful animal skins.
Foxy Jiaojiao had no choice but to change to white animal skins.
In Long Mo's eyes, his females must be the best. Even if he had to rush on the road, he would try his best not to let Hu Jiaojiao do any work.
Even the barbecue, after killing countless beastmen on the road, was barely edible.
"Xiao Wu, come and help!" Long Yao came to Long Mo's side, and the little guy was eager to try.
Long Yu and others also came to help pick out suitable stones and handed them to Long Mo. The five fathers and sons joined the battle, and the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
Hu Jiaojiao raised her lips slightly and directed from the side. In less than half an hour, a solid low wall was erected around the wellhead.
Long Yao stood beside the well mouth, touched his forehead with his fingers, and compared it with the low wall. He found that he was not even as tall as the wall!
He looked at Long Yu and the other two who were obviously taller than the low wall.
"..."
It hurts Long Yao so much!
Why is he so short! !
"Mother, we are so far away from the water, how can we get water up?" Long Yu looked down at the water level in the well, with a trace of confusion on his face.
Do we have to jump down to get water?
It's so high, and the well mouth is so small, isn't it harder than getting water from the river?
Foxy smiled slyly, "Wait, I'll show you later."
She asked Long Mo to bring a few long rattan sticks, twisted them into a twist, and built a small stone platform above the well mouth, with a concave stone stick across the middle.
Tie one end of the twisted rattan stick to the well, and the other end to the stone bucket.
Twisting the stone stick, the rattan quickly tightened.
Foxy put the bucket down, waited until the water covered the stone bucket, and asked Long Yu to hold the stone stick, and said softly:
"Yu'er, you try it."
The three kids all looked at Long Yu with anticipation.
They envied their eldest brother for being the first to try out what their mother had made.
Long Zhong rubbed his hands: "Brother, can you lift it? Do you want me to help you?"
Long Xiu had already put down his stick and walked behind Long Yu, ready to take over at any time.
Long Yao clenched his fists, bent his arms on both sides of his body, and his eyes were wide open, like a crossbow ready to be fired.
"Brother, can you do it? If not, let Xiaowu do it..."
Long Yu frowned immediately, took a deep breath, grabbed the stone stick with both hands and began to stir it.
He originally thought that it would take a lot of strength.
Who knew that with just a move of his hands, he easily pulled up the stone bucket.
Long Yu was stunned, looking down at his hands in disbelief.
How could it be so easy?
The three kids wanted to help, but in the blink of an eye, Long Yu had already lifted up a bucket of water.
It was full, not even spilled.
"Brother, when did you become so strong?" Long Zhong asked in surprise.
In the past, they would stagger when lifting a bucket of water, and would only spill half of it.
"It's not that I've become stronger." Long Yu shook his head and quickly faced the reality.
"It's the thing my mother made that's easy to use. It doesn't take any effort to get water up."
Long Yugang finished speaking. Long Yao poked the water surface with his finger and suddenly exclaimed:
"Hot! The water is hot!"
