The 600 acres of land that build the village are connected together and are surrounded by towering peaks. There is only a two-foot-wide mountain road to enter.
Walking to the crop field, Wang Jian began to observe the surrounding terrain.
Although the soil on the crop fields is a little dry and cracked, it is easy to see that it is very fertile and free of debris such as sand and gravel, making it very suitable for digging wells.
"You first determine the location of the well, and we will move the stones now."
After a young man finished speaking to Wang Jian, he led the villagers to move the stones.
Wang Jian took Xu Hu and his team to carefully walk around the field, and finally selected 20 very good well drilling locations.
Hundreds of young men and women in Xiu Village moved stones very quickly. By the time Wang Jian chose the location for drilling wells, they had already moved stones for three wells.
Several well-drilling team members put up the wood and started to dig the first well.
In order to meet the deadline, Wang Jian also personally helped.
Every time the iron rod dug out a large bucket of mud, Xu Hu's eyes widened.
It turns out that this strange-looking big iron rod is so effective at digging soil.
After digging a deep section of soil, they saw that the ground was getting wetter and wetter. Two well-drilling team members followed the ropes down to build the well radius.
In less than an hour, a well 2 feet wide and 1 feet deep was dug.
When people passing by carrying stones saw the water gushing from the well, they all exclaimed loudly, "The water is coming out, the water is coming out!"
Shouts and cheers, in this The surrounding valleys echoed all the time.
"I got 10 cents!"
After the first well was dug, the well-drilling team members just broke out a little sweat. Each of them earned 10 cents, and everyone worked. The energy is even greater.
The white clouds floating in the sky kept moving under the strong wind, and the fierce sun illuminated them extremely transparently.
And when the sun gradually sets in the west, the white clouds that follow are dyed red with fire.
The fire in the village has burned out, leaving a pile of black ashes blowing in the wind.
Seven dusty young men, carrying large sacks on their backs, stretched themselves out under the setting sun.
He walked into the village skillfully and walked along the alley to his home.
"Agui, you are back. You are darker and thinner, and your body is stronger."
The beautiful woman pinched the arm of a tall young man with both hands and looked at her with distress. His young and tired face.
"Have you eaten? Mom will cook for you." After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she was about to arrange for someone to cook, but she couldn't help but cough continuously as she turned around.
"Mom, I will come back after eating, no need to worry." Xue Rengui walked over and gently patted his mother on the back.
When his mother's coughing slowly stopped, he quickly walked to the sacks on the ground and picked up the sacks from the pile.Take out a brocade box from the herbal medicine.
He turned back to his mother and opened the brocade box.
"Mother, this 100-year-old ginseng was given to me by a wealthy businessman who I rescued from bandits on the way to Chang'an. It has an excellent effect of replenishing qi and fixing inflammation."
< p> "The child is not injured, right?" The beautiful woman immediately looked at her son's body.Xue Rengui patted his chest confidently, "Mother, don't worry about my martial arts. There are few people in the world who are my opponents!"
The beautiful woman looked serious and scolded " Ah Gui, you must know that there are people outside the world, who are as powerful as the ancient overlords. Don't take it lightly."
"Don't worry, mother, I know," Xue Rengui said seriously, and then put the brocade box away. In the mother's hands
The beautiful woman took the brocade box and opened it gently. A piece of dried ginseng as thick as two thumbs was placed flat on the brocade silk. The roots were well preserved and smelled delicious. Light medicinal aroma.
"A century-old ginseng is now a rare thing." The beautiful woman looked at the ginseng with some emotion.
The mother and son sat down and talked for a long time, telling each other everything that had happened in the past few days.
When Xue Rengui heard what had just happened in the village, he stood up with murderous intent, "Mother, where is that old witch? I will kill her!"

The beautiful woman sighed softly, "Fortunately, the people from the neighboring village who came to dig wells stopped them. The wizard has been dealt with by Xue Ah San."
Knowing the fate of the wizard who harmed people, Only then did Xue Rengui calm down.
He boiled water and soaked some slices of ginseng for his mother, and then packed the things he brought back.
Xue Rengui then took Fang Tian's painted halberd leaning against the wall into the room and hid it. Following his mother's instructions, he opened the door with his bare hands and walked out.
When someone comes to dig a well, the food in the field will be saved. As the young master who builds the village, he must help.
"Let's take a rest and drink some water first."
After drilling another well, Wang Jian ordered the sweaty well-drilling team members to rest.
He sat on the piled dirt and squinted at the well dug in front of him.
We worked from morning to afternoon. Except for taking time to eat dry food in the middle, we kept digging wells all the time.
Including the well that was just drilled, 4 wells have been drilled!
When the sun goes down, you can dig another well.
At present, everyone is not proficient in the process of drilling wells. When proficiency increases, the speed of drilling wells will be faster.
Wang Jian looked at the six well-drilling team members who were beating their legs, and asked with a smile, "You have each earned 40 yuan now, are you happy?"
" Happy!" The six well digging team members were very excited at this moment.
So far, they have earnedThe salary is equivalent to the salary earned in the past half a month, how can you not be happy!
Xu Hu exerted the most strength today. Even though he has unparalleled power, he also felt a little tired at this moment.
He sat down on the dry ground, picked up the big gourd next to him, and drank a large amount of water.
His chest was rising and falling violently as he was breathing heavily.
The work of digging wells seems simple, but it becomes tiring after doing it for a long time. Fortunately, he has been helping his grandfather to make iron all year round, so he has a lot of energy.
"Brother Hu, come over here and sit down." Wang Jian opened the dry food wrapped in oilcloth and waved to Xu Hu.
Xu Hu took long strides and came to Wang Jian's side while shaking off sweat.
"Brother Hu, can you still hold on?" Wang Jian handed the last half of the dry food to Xu Hu.
Xu Hu took the dry food and ate it in two mouthfuls. He wiped the sweat from his face and breathed lightly, "No problem."
After a short rest, Wang Jian waved his hand " Brothers, there is still 10 coins waving to us, hurry up and collect it."
"Let's go!"
The six well digging team members shouted excitedly and moved. Hold the tool and continue walking to the next well drilling location.
When Xue Rengui led a few young people to the mountain pass in the field, he happened to meet a large group of soaked villagers. They dragged their tired bodies and came out with smiles on their faces.
"Master, it's the master and the others who are back!" The villagers shouted happily when they saw the burly Xue Rengui.
All the men and women rushed to Xue Rengui, chattering around him and saying hello.
Hearing the various greetings from the enthusiastic and honest villagers, Xue Rengui showed a smile on his handsome face and answered their questions one by one.
After chatting for a long time, a dark and thin woman said in a loud voice, "Master, four wells have been drilled now, and the water in the wells is so clear!"
" The well-drilling master said that one more well can be drilled before sunset!" Another dark and thin young man continued.
Other villagers agreed and praised the newly drilled well.
Xue Rengui nodded, turned around and said to the young men behind him, "That's a lot of gold, a lot of silver. You guys can go move the rocks with the others. I'll go check out the well first."
"Okay."
The six people behind him answered in unison, and then followed the others up the hillside.
