Chapter 248: Finding the Borehole 1

"But there are a lot of refugees. When we are really at the end of the river, the things in our village are not enough for them to fill their teeth." The village chief said with a sad face.

"Then if you go out to flee famine, you can guarantee that you won't be robbed on the way?" Gu Chengrui asked back.

Then he went on to say: "As far as I know, the whole north is suffering from drought, and the only place we can escape is the south, but when we get there, how can we live without fields and houses? Do we really have to give up our family business here.

If it comes back, I think it's a long way and there's no need to bother.

So I think the most urgent thing is to quickly go up the mountain to find the nearest water source. If we find the water source, even if there is no water in the well, we can survive. "

"Water source?" The village head's eyes lit up when he heard it, but he smiled bitterly soon: "Most water sources are deep in the mountains, even if they are found, it is not easy to transport them outside."

"By the way, is the source of the river in our village far away? Although it doesn't flow out, maybe there is still water at the source?"

"I know, it's not far, but it's high, unless we flow down by ourselves, we can't go up or reach it." The patriarch replied.

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Besides, no matter how difficult it is, it is better than wading through mountains and rivers to escape from famine." Gu Chengrui asked here: "By the way, how deep is the well in our village?"

"The well at the entrance of the village is five feet deep, and the well at the foot of the mountain is three feet deep." The village chief asked here: "Why do you want to talk about digging a well, but there is no water in the well, and it is useless to dig more ah?"

"How could it be? If it hits ten feet or even twenty feet, there will definitely be water." Gu Chengrui said.

The village head and the patriarch looked at each other and their eyes lit up. They didn't know if other places would work, but their village was at the foot of the mountain, so they had more water than other places.

If you dig a deep well, you can really try it. For the money, you can pay it from the two clans, and the villagers only need to contribute their strength.

Afterwards, the village head directly said: "Then let's make a decision first. Let's find someone to try to dig a well. If it really fails, we will talk about fleeing famine."

"It's okay, to be honest, I'm really scared when I talk about fleeing famine." The patriarch nodded in agreement.

"Just make some traps near the village, otherwise, if we have water and food, our village will become the target of public criticism."

"Okay, this matter must be arranged, otherwise it will not be safe to rely on patrol alone." The village chief agreed.

After that, the three of them simply went out and wandered around the village to find the location of the well.

It was also at this time that Gu Chengrui knew that the water measurement here was based on the mugwort in the ground as a guide, and there was no scientific basis.

However, before dark, three boreholes were locked.

In the evening, after returning home, Gu Chengrui asked: "Girl, go to the space to look for the two water measuring instruments we received. Let's try it in the village at night to see if we can find groundwater."

"Why is the well being drilled again in the village?" Zhou Ying asked in surprise.

Gu Chengrui nodded, and told her about the village head and patriarch looking for him: "So we have to try, if we type it out, it will be considered a benefit to the people."

"Then look for someone, I'll look for them." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she went to the Westinghouse before entering the space.

Then I rummaged in the warehouse, and sure enough there were two water measuring instruments, and according to the instructions, they could measure up to 300 meters, which is more than 100 feet deep.

After putting it in the villa, I took a small watermelon about four to five catties out of the space.

After the two finished eating the watermelon, they lay down on the kang to rest for a while.
