I practice the Tao by blind practice

Chapter 106
Zeng Zhiguo was mentally prepared for the fact that he had to obey Chen Hai's orders.

He nodded, and yelled at his workers who had been waiting by the side for a while.

Soon, everyone started to act.

The countryside below is basically dominated by dirt roads. Although the location of Liuyuan No. [-] Middle School is relatively remote, it is still inside the county after all.

The ground at the school gate is a cement pavement, but the cement layer is not thick, only about a few centimeters.

After wielding a big hammer, he drilled holes in the concrete floor with iron fiber, and then pried it with a crowbar, and the cement layer began to fall off in pieces.

The workers under Zeng Zhiguo were already familiar with doing this kind of thing.

After digging the concrete floor, they followed Chen Hai's instructions and continued to dig down.

I heard people say that construction in big cities has special machinery and equipment, and the speed of digging holes is very fast.

However, in Liuyuan County, this kind of thing has not been seen for the time being. A small construction team like Zeng Zhiguo basically relies on manual labor for construction work.

Chen Hai originally thought that it would not take long to dig a hole of about seven meters.

When he saw that the earth pit at the gate of No. [-] middle school had only been dug to a depth of two or three meters in one morning, he had to temporarily change his plan.

After all, the further down this kind of pit is dug, the more difficult it is to construct.

And Zeng Zhigui's small construction team has just this amount of manpower.

On the first day, Zeng Zhiguo and the others dug a pit that was only four meters deep. On the second day, they dug a little more than six meters.

Compared with the circle drawn by Chen Hai, the earth pit dug out by the construction team must be much larger when they actually do it.

After all, with such a deep pit, if the space below is too small, it will be difficult for them to construct.

They didn't stay at the gate of the No. [-] Middle School all the time. Chen Hai and Sun Jinzhong only came to visit occasionally.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Chen Hai, Sun Jinzhong, and Director Tao got up a sun umbrella and kept watching nearby after feeling that the depth of the pit was almost the same.

"Master Chen, what is buried under the gate of our school?"

Under the sun umbrella, Director Tao couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked Chen Hai.

He has looked at the dug earth pit many times, but unfortunately, he can't see anything at all.

"Don't worry, Director Tao, wait for a while, and you will be able to see what's buried inside!"

With an unfathomable look, Chen Hai smiled, and said again: "I asked you to prepare the wooden frame and the half-length mirror, are you ready?"

"Well! Regarding the bust mirror and the wooden frame, I have already fixed it for you the day the construction started!" Director Tao nodded.

He pointed to the direction of the campus behind the school gate, and added: "Mirrors are relatively fragile, and those things have always been placed in the auditorium on campus!"

"Do you want to use this thing now?"

"If you want to use it, I'll have someone move it here now."

Up to now, among Zeng Zhiguo and his group, there are only three people who are actually continuing to dig at the bottom of the pit.

This happens not because they are lazy, but because the deeper the pit is dug, the more limited the space at the bottom of the pit becomes.

If there are too many construction workers at the bottom of the pit, it will be impossible to use them at all!

One side of the square pit has been turned into a slope by them.

With this slope, it is much more convenient for workers to go up and down, or to transfer the excavated soil to the outside of the pit.

"Old Zeng, get two people out and move the mirror and wooden shelves inside here first!"

After seeing Chen Hai nodding his head, Director Tao hurriedly got up and gave instructions to Zeng Zhiguo over there.

"Okay!" Zeng Zhiguo, whose face was greasy under the scorching sun, quickly nodded in response.

At around twelve noon, the earth pit at the gate of Liuyuan No. [-] Middle School was finally dug to the location Chen Hai had planned.

"Brother Zeng, tell your subordinates to stop for a while!"

Chen Hai, who sat idle for a while under the sun umbrella, finally stood up.

Don't look at him sitting all the time, on the other side of the pit, he didn't even take a second look.

But in fact, every time a while, he would get out of his body and pay attention to the situation over there!

"Brother Zhong, you've already drank five bottles of soda, and you still drink it. I remember, you don't seem to be a pig?"

After giving instructions to Zeng Zhiguo, Chen Hai looked at his cousin, and he made a joke.

"In such a hot day, the water evaporates quickly. If you don't drink soda and add more water, how can you survive this!" Sun Jinzhong explained with a dry laugh.

"Okay, it's time to do something!"

"Did you see those wooden shelves and half-length mirrors that were just moved in? Ask Brother Zeng to find two people to cooperate with you and set up the mirrors for me!"

"The angle of the mirror should be adjusted properly. You have to let the sunlight pass through the mirror and reflect it to the bottom of the pit, you know?"

Patting this guy on the shoulder, Chen Hai ordered.

"I'll take care of things, don't worry, just such a small matter, I promise nothing will go wrong!"

Standing up quickly, Sun Jinzhong nodded in response.

After instructing Sun Jinzhong, Chen Hai himself walked through the slope to the bottom of the pit.

Director Tao, who had been idle for a while, quickly followed behind Chen Hai and walked to the edge of the pit.

Although he was extremely curious about what was buried at the bottom of the pit, he still lacked courage after all, and did not follow Chen Hai down into the pit, but just stood on it and watched.

The three construction workers below, although holding shovels in their hands, have already stopped.

The six or seven meter deep pit is not a little deep. If there is no slope, it would take a lot of effort for ordinary people to climb out of the pit.

When he got down to the bottom of the pit, a sense of coldness flooded Chen Hai's heart, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Big brothers, how do you feel?"

"It's okay, the more you dig down, the cooler it gets. I didn't bring a coat, or I would have put it on!"

"If you don't feel any discomfort, that's good. Next, continue to dig down. Maybe some bad things will appear. Whoever feels afraid can go up now!"

After greeting several workers, Chen Hai raised his head.

He yelled at Zeng Zhiguo on the top of the pit, "Brother Zeng, the wages of the workers who stay and continue digging will be doubled, what do you think?"

"Since Master Chen has spoken, there must be no problem!" Zeng Zhiguo responded immediately.

After this business is done, No. [-] Middle School will only settle the bill with him, and he will naturally pay the wages of his workers.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Hei, you guys, whether to go up or continue to dig down, you can decide for yourself!"

Zeng Zhiguo kindly asked the three workers at the bottom of the pit.

"It's broad daylight, so many people gather here, what's wrong with it? I'll definitely stay and continue digging!"

"Me too, the salary is doubled. After this job is done, when I go back, I can just buy two catties of pork back!"

Several workers nodded. They looked at each other, and none of them chose to back down.
