Chapter 114 Finding Groundwater
Chapter 114 Finding Groundwater
"What did you say? Hundreds of people are coming with tools to help dig a well?" Luo Xi was stunned when he heard the news.
She turned her head and looked towards the well. There were more than fifty people gathered there, some digging, some carrying mud, and some handing out tools. It was so crowded that they could hardly turn around.
Where will we put so many more people? Will we put them on top of each other?
Yin Li tried her best to suppress the corners of her lips that kept curling up: "Boss, how about I send them back?"
It was originally just a work done by the boss on a whim, but he didn't expect it to become such a big deal. It's really...
Others couldn't help laughing.
How could Luo Xi not notice their weird expressions? They didn't believe that there could be water from this well. Okay!
She thought about it and said, "No need. Go and tell the people to find a place to wait. I will tell them where to dig."
The latter sentence was addressed to the guard who reported the news.
Now that everyone is here, it is a good opportunity to solve the water problem at once, and she doesn’t need to gather people, which saves trouble.
As for those who don’t believe, huh!
After the guards left, Luo Xi called Liu Xiaoyu over again and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the people who are coming to help. Remember, don't be reluctant to give away food. You can't dig if you are not full."
In ancient times, digging wells was a physically demanding job.
Is the master serious? Liu Xiaoyu was full of doubts, but she still walked towards the kitchen neatly.
In a word, it's always right to listen to your master.
"Boss, you're not going to dig more, are you?" Yin Li looked at Luo Xi with lingering fear.
If there is no water after digging one hole, it is not a big deal. But if there is still nothing after digging eight or ten holes, then their Chaoyang Villa will probably become famous again.
It's still a name that people can joke about for a long time.
"Yes, one well is not convenient." Luo Xi automatically ignored his hesitant expression and began to use her new ability to explore underground.
Now that she had found groundwater, things were much easier this time. She just had to follow the direction of the water and find a suitable place to dig a well.
"Xiao Yi, listen to my orders. You will bring a team to follow me. When I tell you where to dig, you will have people mark it. Don't mark it wrong."
After Luo Xi finished speaking, he tapped his toes lightly and jumped a few times before floating out of the village.
Before Xiao Yi could react, he could no longer see Luo Xi and was stunned.
This this……
"General Xiao, remember, you owe me a good drink." Over there, Baihu and a group of men in black quickly followed, leaving behind only a string of echoing laughter.
Xiao Yi: "..."
People who can fly are really annoying!
"Someone, follow me quickly."
This is the mission given to him by the boss. How can he let someone snatch it away? He would have no face to be a general then.
Xiao Yi led a group of people and chased after them at the fastest speed.
Yin Li and the others who stayed where they were didn't know what to say.
The situation has become so serious, if we can't dig out the water, then...
Yin Li had already thought about what kind of excuse he should make up to restore the boss's image in the hearts of the people if he couldn't dig out any water.
If it really doesn't work, then we can say that it was Yin Li who asked us to do so and the boss had no idea about it at all.
Wei Qing trusted Luo Xi very much: "Don't worry, there is nothing in this world that the boss can't do."
Yin Li: "..."
Si Jia didn't know much about Luo Xi, but she still comforted everyone in a gentle voice: "Maybe... Boss Luo has other plans in mind."
This consolation sounds a bit dry.
Several of Zhu Da's spies also did not believe it.
"My Lord, you said that Luo Xi is deep-minded and difficult to deal with. I think she is just a fool."
"That's right. If wells were really that easy to dig, there wouldn't be so many people fleeing famine in Nanyue County. They would all have dug one at home."
"Yes, it usually takes a lot of effort to dig a well that can produce water. Now it is a year of severe drought, so it is even more difficult. I don't know where Luo Xi got the confidence to dig so many in one go?"
"Well, actually it's better this way, we don't have to do anything to ruin it, she can just kill herself, it saves a lot of trouble."
"That's true!"
But the simple people don’t care about so much. The boss always knows a lot and can do a lot.
Take the magical seed for example. In the entire Apocalypse, only Chaoyang Villa had one, which saved them from the suffering of hunger.
I don’t know how many people are jealous. I heard that a few days ago, many men in the county wanted to come over to rob, but fortunately, they were all killed by the boss.
Therefore, they just need to listen to the boss.
And when the people learned that Luo Xi had asked people to prepare breakfast, they were even more moved.
"Obviously, digging the well was to help us find water, but the boss did it so thoroughly."
"Yes, although Chaoyang Villa is a bandit, they are much more kind and righteous than them. They are not like them, who only think about themselves and force us to death."
"I won't say more. Eat quickly. After eating, do more work. Only then will you be worthy of the boss's grace of saving your life."
"Yes, yes, yes. We don't have anything else, but we do have plenty of strength, hahahaha—"
By the time Luo Xi had found his location and returned, the people had already finished eating and were all gathered around the well being dug. Those who could help did so, while those who couldn't squeeze in watched from afar to learn from the experience.
She nodded with satisfaction.
"Yin Li, Wei Qing, I'll leave this matter to you two. I've already had them mark out the locations for digging wells in several nearby towns and villages. If there aren't enough people, go and gather them yourselves."
She had to go back and meditate to restore her supernatural powers. Her head was a bit painful from using too much mental energy.
"Don't worry, boss." Wei Qing's handsome face was full of joy. The problem of water source was finally solved.
Yin Li was very conflicted: "Boss, how about we wait a little longer until the well has water? Otherwise, we will work in vain."
He was really afraid that things would get too out of hand and wouldn't end well.
The common people were happy: "Military Advisor, it's okay. We have plenty of strength. It's just a matter of using a few hoes."
Yin Li: "..."
He was just about to give some more advice.
At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the well: "Wang Silang, are you all right?"
Along with it came the sound of flowing water and the sound of people struggling in the water.
Luo Xi was happy at first, then shocked. He quickly ran to the well and saw several soldiers floating in the water, wet all over, but with smiles on their faces.
Seeing Luo Xi and others showing their heads above the water, he said happily: "Boss, you are amazing. You let us dig and we can find water just by digging."
Luo Xi: "..."
If it were that easy, would she still be having a headache now?
"Okay, hurry up and get out of here, otherwise it will be filled with your bath water. You haven't taken a bath in a while, and you stink."
The soldiers were not angry when Luo Xi rejected them. Instead, they laughed and said, "We don't mind even if it becomes our bath water. We have drunk any dirty water before."
Having said that, the people in the well climbed out nimbly with the help of the soldiers outside.
"Boss, where do you think we should dig the next well?"
Now, even if the boss asked them to dig in the toilet, they would not say a word.
Facts speak louder than words, right? When everyone thought it was impossible, the boss insisted on doing it, and unexpectedly it really worked. This is real skill.
