Chapter 15 Digging Wells for Water

Lihu quickly found all the people.

Mu Feng handed the two shovels to Lihu: "Take this and use it for digging later!"

"Golden Item!" Lihu's eyes froze, a golden item that only big tribes have!

The people around looked at the shovel in Mu Feng's hand with expressions of astonishment - in their eyes, gold artifacts were no different from divine artifacts.

"The Great Chief..." Someone couldn't help but swallowed and asked incredulously, "This is, is this a gold tool?"

The tone of his question reminded Mu Feng of the shocking scene when he only had one dollar for pocket money when he was a child, and when he saw other children holding one hundred dollars.

The wood wind was blowing, and the primitive social tools were basically made of stone and bone, and metal products were extremely rare. No wonder they were so surprised.

"Well, it's gold!" Mu Feng was too lazy to explain, "Now that it belongs to our Jiang clan, just use it to dig soil!"

"Dig soil..." Lihu exclaimed in disbelief, "This kind of gold should have been enshrined in the ancestral land!"

Mu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said, "This is a shovel, it's for digging soil!"

After a pause, he added: "This is my guide as the Great Chief!"

Just this sentence, no one around has any objection.

Lihu took the shovel respectfully and cautiously.

Mu Feng was helpless and didn't bother to care anymore, so he led the person to the big tree beside the thorn wood wall, where he was going to dig a well beside the thorn wood wall.

There are two reasons for digging a well here.

First, because the place where the tribe draws water is too far, and the water is filled with animal skins, a lot of water will be missed on the way, not to mention the water quality is not good.

Second, Mu Feng took a closer look at the location on the west side. It was a place where water came out—the place where the Jiang clan was located was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side was the exit.

This location is a geographically famous spot and the best place to get out of the water. Groundwater will flow from the Sanshan location to Zuojikou—that is, the location to the west of the tribe.

In particular, a jungle to the west of the tribe shows that the groundwater source is sufficient!

In the past, when Mufeng was still in modern times, archaeology had entered the mountains, and the experienced old people in the mountains had dug wells like this, and it was very effective.

Mu Feng chose a position near the tree, drew a large circle with a two-meter square with a stick, and stood in the center of the circle and said, "Here, dig a well and come out!"

"Dig a well?" Someone asked in confusion, "What can a well be used for?"

Mu Feng smiled and said: "If you dig deep enough here, water will flow out of the ground automatically, and we won't have to go to the distance to get water in the future!"

After a pause, Mu Feng added: "And the water flowing from the ground will taste a little sweet!"

"But isn't there all soil under the ground, how can there be water?" Li Hu couldn't help asking.

Mu Feng has a big head again, and after thinking about it, he only feels that it is difficult for him to explain clearly because of the intelligence quotient of Lihu, or the people of the surrounding tribes.

So he simply stopped explaining, just reached out and took the shovel and said, "As long as you dig deep enough, water will come out!"

Lihu shut up immediately, he knew that as long as the decision of the Great Chief was implemented, he would

okay.

The people around are no longer talkative.

Mu Feng held a shovel in both hands, stepped on the ear of the shovel with one foot, stepped on it hard, and then shoved it with both hands, a shovel of soil was dug out for him like this.

He raised his hand and waved, and the soil was thrown aside by him.

These actions seemed normal to him, but in the eyes of the people around them, they had different expressions and shocks.

"The Great Chief actually uses gold tools like this!"

"He stepped on gold under his feet!"

"That's gold!"

...

Mu Feng didn't know what the people around him were thinking, and after digging a circle, he handed the shovel to Lihu: "Hey, there are two shovels here, more than 20 people... um, there are too many people... just the one I dug. Dig in the circle and dig out all the soil inside!"

"Find a few people to hang the animal skins with rattan, and when the digging is deep, just hang the soil from below!"

However, he glanced at the twenty or so people around him, and after thinking about it, he drew a circle of similar size not far away: "You are divided into two groups of people, each digging down, with a shovel on one side, and a bone knife on the other! One When people get tired of digging, replace them, take turns!"

"Yes!"

So Mu Feng stood aside to direct, as if a foreman was inspecting the construction site.

I don't know if it was because of the motivation brought by the shovel or because of the pressure brought by his status as the great chief. Everyone who took the shovel to dig the soil was completely desperate and started digging the soil.

I saw the shovel and the bone knife flying up and down, and the soil was constantly being thrown out of the well.

Mu Feng watched as only the top of the head of the digger was gradually exposed, and then he could only see the soil thrown out, so he couldn't help being stunned.

"The speed of this digging!" Mu Feng was stunned, "It's almost catching up with the excavator in the previous life!"

A dozen people dug a well, and they dug six or seven meters in less than half a day!

It's just that the more people go down, the fewer people go. In the end, only four people can go down at the same time. Even so, the speed of digging is still not slow.

What excites everyone is that the soil layer at the position of six or seven meters has begun to become wet, and the soil thrown up is obviously wet and sticky!

"There is really water!" Li Hu couldn't help exclaiming.

Rattan at the mouth of the well

The people who hung the animal skins were also excited, and looked at Mu Feng with admiration.

After more than two hours, the rattan that had lowered the soil was already 12 to 13 meters long, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the bottom of the well: "Ah, there is water!"

When the people at the wellhead heard it, they hurriedly pulled up the rattan, and then saw four muddy people hurriedly crawling out of the rattan.

And at the bottom of the well, there was a sound of gurgling water!
