"It's not too deep, if you can dig it up. Just inform the other tribes. You'll have to work hard these next few days."
Ling Yun’s answer was very affirmative.
Mei Yan shook his head: "It's not that hard. Such a big thing does need to be notified to everyone. The two tribes I informed seem to be completely unprepared."
"You've come so far, what's the climate like over there?" Ling Yun asked about the situation outside.
Mei Yan shook his head: "At least the two tribes I visited also reported that it hadn't rained in a long time."
"Oh my God... this range is too large." The orc working nearby was shocked when he heard Mei Yan's words.
There is usually a large distance between tribes, and since it didn't rain in the two tribes outside, everyone knew what that meant.
Whether it was wild beasts or orcs, they had nowhere to migrate during this drought.
"Hurry up and work, dig the well, and build a pavilion on top of the well to provide shade. No one will lack water!" Ling Yun encouraged everyone, and everyone started working hard again.
Mei Yan went home and cried with Xin Lan all night, and left the tribe again the next day.
The climate was getting drier and drier, the earth was scorching hot, even the air was hot, and Lin Qiu felt that he was having trouble breathing.
"Go and transfer two more people to Ju Niu's place and build some shaded cowsheds for them. Bigger ones will keep them cooler, otherwise the air underneath will be quickly sunburned. The tribe is short of manpower, so stop the people building the wall."
Lin Qiu was giving instructions to Ling Yun who was about to go out. She held a fan made of leaves in her hand and fanned Ling Yun.
"Okay." Ling Yun nodded obediently. While Song Mu was washing in the kitchen and didn't look over, he bent down and kissed Lin Qiu, then smiled at her silently, as if he had gotten some advantage.
Lin Qiu raised the corner of his mouth helplessly and raised his hand to rub Ling Yun's head.
"Then I'll be leaving. You should go quickly. It's too sunny outside." Ling Yun waved his hand.
Lin Qiu also waved to Ling Yun.
Song Mu was also very busy at home. While there was still water, he wanted to wash all the animal skins in the house and clean up all the things that needed to be wiped and swept. Who knows how precious water will be in the future and whether he can still waste it on this.
"There's water! There's water! There's really water! We dug out the water from underground!"
"Quick, dig a few more times!"
Before Ling Yun got close, he heard everyone cheering.
“This is simply a miracle!”
“There really is water underground!”
"Hurry, both of you, come up here, the water is coming up."
"Grab the rope!"
Ling Yun quickened his pace and ran to the well: "I really dug it out."
"Yes, Chief, we really dug it out!"
"We don't have to worry about running out of water. Even if it doesn't rain, there's water underground."
Everyone pulled the two people out of the well and hugged each other excitedly.
Ling Yun looked down at the yellow mud soup rising from the bottom of the well, and a smile appeared on his face.
"After the celebration, let's get back to work. Surround the well and don't let dirt float into it." Ling Yun felt relieved when he saw that the groundwater level was gradually rising.
He turned around and went home to tell Lin Qiu the good news.
"Xiao Qiu, the well has been dug!"
Several orcs took turns digging this well for five whole days. Everyone's front claws were almost worn out and even cracked.
When one wave of orcs' claws were injured, another wave took their place. Everyone took turns sticking their butts out and digging the soil hard. Today, they finally saw hope.
Lin Qiu was also very excited: "You guys are really amazing. This well was dug faster than I thought! Wait a minute and I will give you the blueprints. You can build a device on the well to make it easier for us to get water in the future."
"Yes, in order to reduce evaporation by the air, the wells I dug have small openings. It is indeed very inconvenient to draw water."
Lin Qiu returned and took out the blueprints for the cradle. "Let Pu Su do it. Now that the tribe has experience digging wells, we can continue digging the remaining two without worry. Don't worry."
"Let's finish it as soon as possible." Ling Yun said as he looked at the blueprints.
After all, it's a matter of life and death.
"The weather has been unusually hot these past few days. My throat is dry after every few breaths. Once the signs of drought appear, they will spread faster and faster." Ling Yun closed the blueprint and said, "I'm going out first. Xiaoqiu, don't bother with the females. You guys stay home and don't go out."
Song Mu also said: "Yes, you will easily get sunburned if you go out in the sun now."
