Druid's Country Retirement

When the first ray of sunlight shines through the morning mist on Yuanbao Mountain, Caogou Village is gently awakened.

The crowing of colorful roosters broke the silence of the night. They sang loudly, as if announcing to the mountains that a new day had arrived.

The mountain road leading to the Li family's old house.

Ouyang Hua walked in the mist carrying breakfast. This was specially made by Master Su, old hens stewed with yam.

The old hen was stewed all night. The chicken was stewed first, the bones were taken out and fresh yams were added after the pot was boiled.

The stewed chicken soup has a chicken flavor, and the soup has a chicken flavor. The temperature of the hot soup warms the yams until they are cooked, making the yams crisp and refreshing and rich in chicken flavor.

All in all!

Footsteps sounded in the mist.

"Who?" Ouyang Hua shouted loudly.

"It's me, Brother Ou, what are you doing so early in the morning!"

In the mist, Hongqi also walked out with a bamboo basket on his arm. The mark of the slap on his face had not dissipated. Last night, Fusheng was a bit ruthless in his act of extermination.

"I'm going to deliver food to the Red Soldiers." Ouyang Hua picked up the basket.

Hong Qi was happy and picked up the basket as well, "What a coincidence, I am also delivering food to Brother Hong Bing. My mother made the dumplings herself."

Just as the two of them were talking.

Another person came out of the mist, without exception, each carrying a basket.

"Tiedan, what are you doing here!"

"My father told me that the Red Soldier can't hear, so he asked me to deliver food to the Red Soldier!"

Got it!

Everyone looked at each other and knew that they had the same goal, so they simply walked together.

A large group of people came to the Li family's old house and pressed the doorbell.

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Xiao Wuzi poked his head out, saw the crowd of people, and rubbed his eyes.

"Uncle Ou, what are you doing?"

"Bringing food to your master, has he gotten up?" Ouyang Hua, as the leader, consciously stepped forward to speak.

Xiaowuzi quickly opened the door, "Just got up, the second senior sister made fish soup for the master!"

The group walked into the old house and came to the rice field.

Seeing Li Hongbing sitting under the old oak tree, deep in thought, with two bowls of steaming soup placed on the stone table in front of him, He Lianqian sat opposite the stone table, filially urging her master to drink the soup.

"Master, take a sip. I got up early in the morning to make fish soup."

"Try it. It tastes good. I can't bear to drink it."

"Just try my disciple's filial piety!"

Faced with his apprentice's pleading, Li Hongbing remained calm and determined not to touch him.

The stewed fish didn't even open the belly of the fish. It was put into the pot whole and various inexplicable medicinal materials were added.

After finishing this bowl of soup, I'm afraid I won't be sent away by you.

"Red Soldier, I'm here to bring you breakfast!" Ouyang Hua walked to the stone table carrying the bamboo basket, and his voice was like thunder.

Xiaowuzi said quietly, "Uncle Ou, master is deaf, not hard of hearing. No matter how loud you sound, you can't hear me."

Forehead!

Ouyang Hua looked embarrassed and quickly took out the old hen yam soup from the bamboo basket. Others also took out the breakfast they brought and filled the stone table.

I saw Master eating the breakfast that was brought to me by others, but I only made it with my own hands without touching it.

Sun Lianqian was very angry, picked up two bowls of fish soup, and walked away angrily.

Mingming said last night that he would take care of his master, but these people came here early in the morning to cause trouble.

Master is the same. Everyone has cooked fish soup, but they have to drink what others bring.

"Lian Qian, this is the soup you cooked. It looks delicious!" Fang Wanda came closer.

Hongqi also joked with Swish, "Hey, it's rare to see Dr. Sun cooking in person. It smells so good!"

"Here you go!" Sun Lianqian angrily thrust two bowls of fish soup into their hands.

Take the bowl.

Fang Wanda was very excited. This was the first time she drank the soup made by Lian Qian. She must remember this memorable day.

vomit! !

Then there was a sound of vomiting next to him.

He quickly turned his head to look, and saw Hong Qi bending down and making a sound of retching from his throat. A stream of heat spurted out of his mouth, and the strong smell of vomit filled the entire rice field.

People around him hurried away for fear of being smoked. .

After vomiting, Hong Qi straightened up, feeling weak and green, and looked at Sun Lianqian with eyes full of deep fear.

"Hiss, this soup is poisonous!!"

Fang Wanda's heart tightened, and she looked at the fish soup she was holding. The white air seemed to intertwine and entwine into a mini skull above the bowl.

"Does it taste bad? I specially added rugosa and perilla, and also added licorice, platycodon, wolfberry, jujube, and dried sweet potato to enhance the taste." Sun Lianqian finally knew why the master didn't drink the fish soup she made, and she felt deeply. Frustrated, he murmured, "I'm so stupid, I can't do anything well."

Hearing these words, Wanda's heart seemed to be pinched hard, and she stood up and said, "Who said you are stupid? I like to drink the soup you make the most."

After saying that, with a generous look on his face, he picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp.

Ruthless!

Li Hongqi showed admiration.

I finally know why I can't find my mother-in-law.

As for Brother Fang's unceasing energy, what kind of woman can't find him?

I just took a sip and my face turned green.

Brother Fang drank a full bowl and acted like a normal person.

wrong!

"It's a dog, come here quickly, Brother Fang is frothing!" Li Hongqi ignored his emotion and ran forward to hug Fang Wanda, who was foaming at the corner of his mouth and fell into a coma.

Seeing this, the others helped to put Fang Wanda flat on the ground.

Li Hongbing pushed away everyone, put his hand on Fang Wanda's wrist to check his pulse, then picked up the bowl on the ground, dipped it in the soup and put it into his mouth. His mouth and tongue felt a burning sensation, as well as a slight itching and numbness. His face suddenly changed, and he looked at The second disciple looked panicked.

"Did you put cicada in the soup?"

Attachment?

I didn’t add aconite!

Sun Lianqian, who is proficient in acupuncture, has nine out of ten and knows nothing about traditional Chinese medicine.

When the little boy next to him heard Li Hongbing say the word "attached piece", he immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Li Hongbing shook his head, untied Fang Wanda's clothes with dark lips, and pressed hard on Neiguan, Lianquan, Tiantu and Zhongwan points.

Fang Wanda suddenly woke up, crawled to the ground, and vomited.

A putrid and sour smell came out of his mouth, and he vomited all over the ground.

"Master, here's the raw licorice water for you!" Xiao Wuzi ran over with a bowl of water, "Use this bowl to suppress the poison first, it's still boiling in the pot."

Li Hongbing took the bowl and saw a faint yellow color in the bowl. He knew that the cooking time was not enough and the potency of the medicine had not yet been cooked out, but it was enough for temporary emergency use.

He picked up the bowl and brought it to Fang Wanda's mouth.

"Drink quickly to detoxify."

Fang Wanda was in a daze, opened her mouth and drank it.

"You carry him into the house!" Li Hongbing asked others to help carry him away.

Li Hongqi was almost crying and shouted in horror, "Brother, I also drank fish soup, please detoxify me quickly, detoxify me quickly."

"You're going to throw up a few handfuls of them, you're afraid of making a hair!" Li Hongbing pushed Li Hongqi away angrily and walked to the pale Sun Lianqian, feeling distressed and angry, "Take me to see the soup you cooked. .”

Oh!

Sun Lianqian lowered her head and led Li Hongbing into the kitchen in fear, and came to the pot of fish soup. At this time, there was still a mess of dregs left in the pot.

Li Hongbing picked up the shovel, dug into the dregs, and found a piece of boiled rhizome that turned white.

"What do you think you put this into the soup?" Sun Lianqian glanced timidly, with an uncertain voice, "Dried sweet potatoes?"

I! !

Li Hongbing paused, with many words stuck in his throat.

Use the dried sweet potato slices in fish soup.

How did you come up with such a weird approach?

Not to mention, with so many spices and deodorizing ingredients, it really covers up the appendix.

Fortunately, I stood firm at that time and didn’t drink!

"Fortunately, you still know how to put licorice in the soup. Starting from tomorrow, you will read the Compendium of Materia Medica three times a day. Xiao Wuzi, keep an eye on your senior sister, she almost sent us away."

"Oh!" Sun Lianqian pouted her little mouth aggrievedly, this time she was really frightened.

Although I am not proficient in Chinese medicine, anyone who has studied Chinese medicine will know that aconite is a very poisonous substance. The teacher emphasized it when I was in school.

Aconitine contains a large amount of aconitine, and aconitine can cause symptoms of poisoning in patients, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, general numbness and other symptoms, which will seriously endanger physical health.

If not treated in time, it can even lead to electrolyte imbalance in the body, and can also cause arrhythmia, threatening life safety.

The people watching the excitement no longer had the idea of ​​gloating.

Especially the old bachelors Hongqi and Shengli, who used to have some thoughts about Sun Lianqian, now have no thoughts at all. They are even glad that Fang Wanda has chased her.

If he left it in the past, he would poison his man to death.

A big man drinks medicine alive! !

Fang Wanda was also a blessing in disguise.

He was lying on the bed with a silly smile, and Sun Lianqian, who looked guilty next to her, was waiting on her with greetings.

On the rice field.

Sun Qiang brought the workers and exploration team to the old house for construction. After learning that Li Hongbing was deaf, he showed a look of realization. No wonder he greeted Li Hongbing when work was done last night, but there was no response for a long time. It turned out that he couldn't hear.

The workers began to work.

The idlers who claimed to take care of Li Hongbing were immediately lured away by the exploration team and ran to watch the fun.

Captain Zhou found Li Hongbing and said, "Village Chief Li, the hot spring well will be built today, why don't you come over and take a look."

"Okay!" Li Hongbing nodded. Although he couldn't hear it, he might have seen it.

Backyard Col.

During the construction in the narrow mountain stream, the echo of the clanking drilling was extremely loud. The exploration team members all wore earmuffs, and the idlers could only grin and cover their ears, but it had little effect on Li Hongbing.

When we arrived at Bailongtan, the water was no longer clear and was filled with mud.

A small drilling machine was erected in the water pool. The drilling machine was operated in an orderly manner by the exploration team. Mud spewed outward from the borehole. There was a gantry above the drilling machine with several hollow steel pipes hanging.

Knowing that Li Hongbing could not hear, Captain Zhou stood in front of Li Hongbing to introduce the construction progress.

"Village Chief Li, the drill bit has now penetrated the aquifer to a depth of 580 meters. It can be completely opened by drilling down 50 meters. The current flow of hot spring water exceeds the original estimate of about 800 cubic meters and should reach 1000 cubic meters. "

"It doesn't matter if you have more or less water, as long as it doesn't affect your hot spring bath." Li Hongbing waved his hand indifferently.

Captain Zhou smiled and said, "That won't affect you at all, but I have something to tell you. Please talk to me!"

After saying that, he came to the edge of Bailong Pond, pointed to the stone wall deep in the pond, turned around and said.

"At this location, we were fixing the derrick position and found that there was an echo behind the rock wall and there was water seepage in the cracks in the rocks. It is very likely that there is an underground river inside."

"That is to say, Bailongtan not only has hot springs, but also an underground river. According to the instrument testing, the thickness of the rock wall should be about three meters. We have ready-made tools. It is easy to open, but we need your permission."

underground river! !

Li Hongbing's eyes fell on the position pointed by Captain Zhou.

It is a stone wall covered with moss. If it is broken, it will look like a scar, which will affect the overall beauty of Bailongtan.

"As long as it's not harmful, don't worry about it."

Captain Zhou nodded. It was a simple matter anyway. It only took half an hour to use a drill for a thickness of three meters. Since the investor didn't want to move, he saved himself the trouble.

"Boss, back off for the last 30 meters." The exploration team member operating the drilling machine said and gestured.

"I know, everyone retreat!" Captain Zhou pulled Li Hongbing out of Bailongtan, and called on the team members and the onlookers to leave the dangerous area, because the moment the wellhead penetrated, affected by the pressure, the wellhead would spurt out mud and gravel.

Wait until no one is around.

The three exploration team members shut down the drilling machine, then removed the drill pipe section by section and lifted the drill bit.

Only then did Li Hongbing realize that drilling wells was connected with drill pipes one by one, and drilling could be done no matter how deep it was.

After exiting the drill bit.

An exploration team member controls the gantry chain and moves the hoisted hollow steel pipe to correct the angle and position.

Another team member installed a casing on a section of steel pipe protruding out of the water, while the remaining team member stood nearby to assist in hoisting the hollow steel pipe and docking it with the newly installed casing.

After the docking is completed, the drilling machine fixes the steel pipe and slowly clamps the steel pipe downward.

When the steel pipe reached the designated position, the three team members reinstalled the drill bit and drill pipe and continued to move forward to the last 30 meters.

A team member held an instrument and stared at the screen to report the situation below the well.

"26 meters!"

"25 meters!"

"24 meters!"

"20 meters!"

"15 meters!"

"10 meters!"

As the numbers reported by the team members became less and less, everyone's emotions were also aroused, and they stared at the drilling machine on Bailongtan with full attention.

at this time.

The team member's expression suddenly changed, he put down the instrument and rushed toward Bailong Pond with his arms waving.

"Stop the machine, stop it quickly, the hydraulic column pressure in the well has dropped!!!!"

"Stop the machine immediately!"

The three members of the drilling rig saw their teammates' gestures and quickly pressed the shutdown button.

Unfortunately, it was too late, as the drilling platform's still-rotating drill pipe made a loud crunching sound.

Captain Zhou's face turned dark instantly. When he saw the four team members running out of Bailong Pond holding their heads, the other exploration team members also looked panicked.

Li Hongbing couldn't hear the sound, but it didn't affect his ability to see with his eyes.

There was a panic at the scene. Something must have happened, and it was something big.

When all the exploration team members returned to a safe position, they took out the advance exploration data report and looked at the drilling machine from time to time with a gloomy expression.

"Captain Zhou, what happened?" Li Hongbing stepped forward and asked.

Zhou Dasheng put down the data in his hand and talked seriously.

"Just now, the detection instrument detected changes in the underlying layer, and a slight collapse occurred under the drill bit, causing the pipeline to move."

"It is very likely that the strata are loose and broken, and the degree of cementation of the strata is poor. This situation will occur in some hard and brittle strata in the Neoproterozoic system."

Who cares whether you are Neoproterozoic or Old Proterozoic.

Who can understand these professional terms you speak?

Li Hongbing shook his head and asked.

"Just tell me, what should I do now??"
