Chapter 813 The Well
There are no wild animals, not even a small insect can be seen. Apart from the sudden changes in high and low temperatures, there is no danger.

At night, Fan Xiaoxiao taught several leaders how to make fire. Only with fire can we really keep warm. As long as someone is watching, the fire will not be extinguished or burn too big. We must pay attention to safety.

After giving a few instructions and asking them to teach others, she left their resting place and went to look for underground water sources alone.

Digging a well is not just about finding a place to dig soil. You must find the source of underground water in order to successfully dig out water.

In any case, the dense forest is here, and the groundwater should be particularly rich. Because there is no vegetation outside, the land will dry up.

As long as the location of the water source is determined, after the water is dug out, a simple straw shed is built, and a few trees are planted nearby. As long as the well is not exposed to the sun, everyone's draft problem should be temporarily solved.

In one night, she walked almost half a circle around the woods. This was hundreds of kilometers and not something ordinary people could do.

It is also because there are no wild animals and people are sleeping soundly at night after working hard during the day, so Fan Xiaoxiao can concentrate on the road without any distractions and roughly determine the location of the water source through the touch under his feet.

Although her spiritual power is sealed, she has five spiritual roots and has a natural affinity for the five elements. Finding water is not difficult for her.

It's just that you can't escape, you can't drill into the soil, and there are no ants coming out to help, so you can't locate it too accurately. After all, the underground water is very deep, the shallowest is about a hundred meters, and the deepest may be hundreds of meters underground.

At dawn, she roughly determined the locations of five water sources, took out a strong laborer from each team, and dug a well in groups of ten, while the rest continued to dig the ground.

Then they organized the old, weak, women and children to repair the broken weapons. The digging of the ground caused a lot of wear and tear on the weapons. Because they were not made of metal, the wood and stones were not sharp to begin with, and they became even smoother after being worn. It was all about digging the soil with brute force.

The old people also contributed the wooden sticks they used as crutches for the young people to use to dig the soil. Although it was useless, it was still much better than hand planing.

Everyone was in high spirits and so busy that they seemed to have forgotten the blazing sun in the sky.

At night, water finally came out of a well.

Of course, this is not a real well yet, but people are already boiling when they see the water coming out.

The groundwater is extremely cool, but the water that just emerged is very turbid with a lot of sediment.

These people can't control so much. They haven't had a good drink of water for a long time.

Many people crowded in, all wanting to drink enough water. The chaotic scene almost got out of control, and a fight was about to begin.

"All right!"

Fan Xiaoxiao gave a soft drink, and everyone immediately fell silent and looked at her with awe.

When she appeared yesterday, few people really regarded her as a fairy, but just one day later, she found water for them.

People will not starve to death if they don't eat for a few days, but they will definitely die of thirst if they don't drink water for a few days.

Two days have passed, and the progress of plowing the ground has not been very fast, because everyone is skeptical that anything edible can grow in the ground.

Now that they suddenly saw groundwater being dug out, no one would doubt Fan Xiaoxiao's words anymore.

If she says crops can grow from the ground, then it will.

"This water is too muddy and cannot be drunk for the time being. It needs to be filtered and clarified before drinking."

Although everyone couldn't understand what she said, as long as she said it, just do it.

This well is only one meter in diameter and about [-] meters deep. The water in it is very turbid and cannot be drank directly.

There is still a lot of follow-up work to be done to ensure that the water quality becomes clear.

It was still the ten people who dug the well. Their teams were basically next to each other and they were digging the ground together. Fan Xiaoxiao called the ten leaders over and asked them to find some wood and build a simple shed around the well. , it is important to have a roof to avoid direct sunlight, so as to ensure that the well will not dry up.

From now on, the well will be managed by them, but they cannot prevent people from other teams from using it.

The ten leaders all nodded in agreement like little chickens pecking at rice. They don't have any selfish intentions for now, but it's hard to say in the future.

The other four places heard that water had been dug out here, but they didn't even see any trace of water there, and they couldn't help but become a little anxious.They discussed it and decided to eat something first and then continue digging. They would not sleep until they dug out water.

At midnight, water came out of water in two more places.

Now more people are happy.

Those who still had two places where water had not been dug could not help but become a little anxious.

There is no need to plow the ground at night, and more people come to help and watch the fun.

They already understand that ten people represent ten teams, and as long as there is water here, it is the jurisdiction of these ten teams.

Although they can't stop others from coming to get water, their ten teams must be given priority.

The ten leaders spontaneously selected a few young adults to come over to help. Anyway, there was no need to plow the ground at night. What everyone was most concerned about now was water.

Two deep holes have been dug for hundreds of meters. One meter in diameter cannot accommodate several people. Only three people are digging underneath.

Without a ladder, they could only dig a few small holes in the cave wall that they could step on as they dug down.

Although there is no water yet, the soil has become somewhat soft and moist, indicating that there is indeed water underneath.

When daybreak came, water came out of all five wells.

Fan Xiaoxiao gave on-site guidance to the three wells that produced water first in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, she completed the route that she had not completed last night and found two more water sources. However, she did not let them dig for the time being. They built the five wells first.

Except for the elderly and children, the young people almost stayed up all night. They all saw the miracle of water emerging from the soil, so they were particularly excited.

After dawn, I didn't feel sleepy, but continued to dig the ground.

Since the gods have found water for them from the ground, it must be true that the gods said they can make crops grow in the ground.

Therefore, everyone must dig out more land to grow more crops.

Enthusiasm for digging is at an all-time high, even though most of their tools are no longer usable.

Fan Xiaoxiao had nothing to do about this. She walked around the dense forest and couldn't find any usable metal materials.

It seems that if you want to find metal materials, you still have to go to the mountains. Although the mountains have become barren hills, gold is born in the soil, and ores should be found in the mountains.

For example, among the stone weapons used by these people, some stones have much better wear resistance. Although it is not clear what metal materials are contained in them, it at least proves that these stones do contain metal materials.

If her golden spiritual power can be used, she can accurately determine the material of the metal material inside the stone with just a little induction.

She questioned in detail the few people whose stone weapons had remained intact, and found that their stones were all quarried from the same mountain.

It's just that because of the long journey and the migration distance, they can no longer remember the specific location of the mountain.

Several people said their own things, and some said it was in the east, just over five mountains.

Some say that it is in the south and has to climb ten mountains to reach it.

Some said it was in the west, some said it was in the north. Several people were arguing with each other. If Fan Xiaoxiao hadn't been here, they would have taken action long ago.

Fan Xiaoxiao sighed secretly. These people gathered from all over the world and came from different directions, so they remembered in different directions.

But in the end, I concluded that only the person from the east was the closest, because he only climbed five mountains to get here.

With their footsteps, it would take them three days to cross the five mountains, because those five mountains were all big mountains.
