I am the chief of a primitive tribe
Chapter 16
When Mu Feng was doing archaeology in the past, he had seen people digging wells in the mountains, so he naturally knew what it looked like when water came out of the well.
At first, it was difficult to see the situation below the well that was more than ten meters deep, but the sound of flowing water below was very clear.
Then the water level below the well rose visibly, and the stone wall built on the well wall was quickly soaked by water.
A smell mixed with mud and grass roots underneath surged up from the bottom.
Mu Feng's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with the smell of this water. Only real mountain spring water was like this, and it was definitely better than the water in the river.
The water level quickly reached about three meters away from the wellhead, and people around the wellhead could clearly see the water coming up from below.
In the two-meter-square well, the groundwater that surged up was swirling, and the central vortex was clear and bright. Only the relatively turbid mud and sand close to the well wall was there - that was the stone for building the wall and the mud on the newly dug well wall.
Even so, the people around Mu Feng cheered together.
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Mu Feng was also very excited. Without waiting for the water level to stabilize, he couldn't help but take a cane, hang a leather bag and take half a bag of water. Regardless of the fact that the water had not yet clarified, he held the leather bag and drank a sip.
"Ah!" Mu Feng exclaimed, "It's really sweet!"
Even if there was still some sand in his mouth, he didn't care.
Because compared with the water he drank from the river in the past two days, this underground water is incomparably better.
"Great Chief!"
The people around him once again restored the proper respect for Mu Feng, and looked at Mu Feng with burning eyes.
Li Hu couldn't help but say: "Great Chief, can I, can I have a sip?"
"Of course!" Mu Feng nodded.
Li Hu hurriedly followed Mu Feng's example and used a cane to hang a leather bag to take water, and couldn't wait to drink a sip.
It was just a sip, and Li Hu's eyes suddenly widened, his expression was first surprised, then shocked, and finally ecstatic.
"Oh oh!" Li Hu beat his chest and stamped his feet, shouting and looking at Mu Feng with a look that was even more enthusiastic.
"Great Chief!" Li Hu cheered, "This is amazing. I think the old chief should also taste this kind of water!"
"It should be!" Mu Feng nodded, "But wait a minute, wait until the mud and sand here sink, then you can pack it up and send it over!"
"Mud and sand?" Li Hu was surprised.
"Well, there is mud and sand in the water. Wait until they sink completely before drinking it, it will taste better! Otherwise, drinking water with mud and sand will make you burp!"
"Hiccups?" Li Hu looked surprised, "No!"
Mu Feng suddenly realized that they were used to drinking water from the river, used to water mixed with mud and sand and the smell of water. When they drank groundwater at first, they would only feel that it tasted good, so how could they have any other feelings?
But Mu Feng is a modern person, used to drinking mineral water, mountain spring water and boiled water, how can he compare?
"Okay!" Mu Feng had no choice but to nod, "You'll know after you wait a while and drink it!"
"Yes!"
At this time, another well not far away was also dug, and the water output was similar to the previous well.
The surroundings cheered again.
Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "It seems that this underground water vein is wide enough and there is enough water. Otherwise, one of the two wells so close must not have much water."
In fact, what Mu Feng didn't expect was that the wells on Earth in his previous life could not be too close because the underground water sources were used too much by humans.
And now he is in the primitive society. How many people know how to develop and utilize groundwater?
Seeing that the water level of the well is stable at a distance of about two meters from the well, Mu Feng began to think about making supporting facilities for the well.
The so-called supporting facilities for the well are naturally those he knew in his previous life: well wheel, water bucket, hemp rope.
He contacted the system secretly, and the system popped up a hidden task achievement: "Complete the development of a new water source, 300 achievement points!"
"Oh, there are hidden tasks!" Mu Feng was surprised, "It turns out that it is the same as playing games in the previous life, with main lines and hidden tasks!"
With 300 more achievement points, Mu Feng was considering how to use them appropriately.
It would be OK to directly exchange for a set of water-drawing facilities, which would only add up to 200 achievement points.
But the problem is that such a large well wheel and wooden barrel, if he made them out of thin air, it would definitely surprise the people of the tribe.
He thought it would be better not to expose it if he could.
So he took a compromise and exchanged 50 achievement points for the method of making well wheels and wooden barrels, and spent 100 achievement points for a set of carpenter's tools.
He planned to do these things by himself, saving as much as possible!
Meanwhile, Li Hu couldn't wait to get water and ran to the thatched house where the old chief was.
As soon as heWhile running, she shouted wildly: "Everyone, go to the wall to get water! The chieftain dug a well for us to get water!"
So the people in the tribe walked out of the caves and thatched houses where they were, and ran to the protective wall.
The first one to arrive was White Fang. She held a stone jar in her hand, with a smile on her eyebrows, eyes and face. She shouted to Mu Feng from a distance: "Brother Mu Feng, I want to drink the well water first!"
Mu Feng put away his mind, looked at the clear water, nodded, and used a leather bag to get her water, and then poured it into the stone jar.
The girl was full of smiles, holding the stone jar high in both hands, and then Mu Feng poured her water.
"Drink it!" Mu Feng smiled.
"Hmm!" White Fang took a sip of the stone jar, and was extremely surprised. Her almond eyes were wide open, and she was obviously very surprised.
"Oh, this water is so sweet!" The girl looked at Mu Feng with bright eyes, and the smile on her face became sweeter, revealing her white teeth like shells.
Mu Feng was suddenly moved and couldn't help but praise her: "No one can be as sweet as you!"
"Ah!" The girl was like a frightened deer, her face flushed, her chest "thumped", and she hurriedly lowered her head to look away.
