"Is it deep?"
"Hmm... a little further down..."
In the backyard of the stone house, Hu Jiaojiao was squatting on the ground with a dark cave entrance in front of her. Long Mo was digging in the dirt at the bottom of the cave.
The four cubs squatted on the other side of the black hole like little quails, looking down with curiosity and expectation on their faces, and communicating in low voices.
"What is a well?"
"Xiaowu also has a neck, but no water can flow out of Xiaowu's neck, only blood can flow..."
"Can you dig out water by digging like this? Isn't that harder than digging ice?"
"Look, there's water!"
The four kids were whispering to each other when Long Yu suddenly let out a low cry and pointed his finger at the bottom of the cave.
Hu Jiaojiao heard the voice and also looked down.
Long Mo poked with his dragon claw, and the bottom seemed to be pierced through. A small column of water emerged from the bottom, gradually becoming larger, and the overflowing water slowly rose.
Hu Jiaojiao seemed to feel a warm current coming.
is the temperature of the groundwater.
"Long Mo, it's okay, come up quickly!" Hu Jiaojiao waved at Long Mo.
Long Mo responded, and before leaving, he grabbed the wall with one hand and poked through the entire bottom of the cave with the other hand, then climbed directly to the entrance of the cave with his arm strength.
The water level in the well also rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It will not stagnate until it rises to a certain position.
"Long Mo, you are amazing. You dug the well in just a short while." Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward to help him clean the dust off his hair, with joy in her eyes.
From now on, you don’t have to go to the river to fetch water, you can use well water.
Well water is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is much more convenient than river water and can be used to freeze fruits in summer.
Long Mo leaned forward so that Hu Jiaojiao could reach his head from behind.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's generous praise, he pursed his lips, a smile appeared in his cold eyes, and whispered:
“You taught me well.”
It seemed as if he never cared about what he had done, his eyes were full of Hu Jiaojiao's efforts.
The two men's faces were close to each other, and a faint body fragrance lingered at the tip of Long Mo's nose, instantly diluting the unpleasant smell of earth on his body.
Even when he lived in the forest, he hated having strange smells on his body and always kept himself clean, like a weird dragon with mysophobia.
But for Hu Jiaojiao, he dug the soil quickly and efficiently, without any hesitation or disgust.
Hu Jiaojiao was carefully cleaning the dust off her hair, and suddenly her eyes met Long Mo's deep eyes. The low voice that floated into her ears was like candied cheese, incredibly sticky.
Her heart skipped a beat for a moment.
This guy, when did his mouth become so sweet
Hu Jiaojiao gently hit his chest, turned around and saw the four cubs were about to stick half of their bodies into the well, and hurriedly stopped them:
"Yu'er, hurry up and get them up, or they will fall down."
The unfenced well was still too dangerous for the kids.
Upon hearing this, Long Yu and his companions withdrew their bodies and moved to the side.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Long Mo, "Do you still have the materials for building the stone house?"
She wanted to build a fence next to the well to prevent her baby from falling in accidentally.
"Yes, I'll get it." Long Mo walked out of the yard without saying a word, and soon came back carrying a large bag of materials.
There were stones and sticky resins inside. There were still a lot of them left from building the stone house. They were not afraid of wind and rain, so they were piled on the side of the cabin.
"How to do it?" Long Mo asked as he poured out the materials in the bag.
"Pick some smaller stones and build a low wall half a person's height around the well." Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward to help, but was stopped by Long Mo.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at him strangely, asking with her eyes what was wrong.
"Don't get your gloves dirty. I'll do it."
Fox Jiaojiao's gloves are white and made of the softest animal skin.
Originally, she was planning to make the same one as theirs, in black, but Long Mo saw it and insisted that she make it in white.
What else can I say? Females just need nice-looking animal skins.
Fox Jiaojiao had no choice but to change into white animal skin.
In Long Mo's eyes, he must use the best for his females. Even if the journey was very tiring, he would try not to let Hu Jiaojiao do any work at all.
Even the barbecue was barely edible after having killed countless orcs on the road.
"Xiaowu, come and help too!" Long Yao jumped to Long Mo's side, the little guy was eager to try.
Long Yu and a few others also came to help pick out suitable stones and handed them to Long Mo. With five father and sons joining together, the scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
Hu Jiaojiao raised the corners of her lips slightly as she gave instructions. Within half an hour, a solid low wall was erected around the wellhead.
Long Yao stood beside the well, touched his forehead with his fingers, and compared it to the low wall. He found that he was not even as tall as the wall!
He looked again at Long Yu and the other two who were obviously taller than the low wall.
"… "
It hurts the dragon's heart so much!
Why is he so short!!
"Mom, we are so far away from the water, how can we pump water up?" Long Yu looked down at the water level in the well, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.
Do I have to jump in to fetch water
It’s so high and the well mouth is so small, isn’t it more difficult than drawing water from the river
Fox smiled slyly, "Wait, mother will show you later."
She asked Long Mo to bring a few long vines, twisted them into a twist shape, built a small stone platform above the wellhead, and placed a concave stone stick across the middle.
Tie one end of the twisted rattan stick to the stone bucket, and the other end to the stone bucket.
Twisting the stone stick, the vine quickly tightened.
Hu Jiaojiao put the bucket down, waited until the water covered the stone bucket, let Long Yu hold the stone stick, and said softly:
"Yu'er, you try it."
The three cubs all looked at Long Yu with anticipation.
I am so envious of my eldest brother because he can be the first to try what mom makes.
Long Zhong rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, can you lift it? Do you want me to help you?"
Long Xiu had put down his stick and walked behind Long Yu, ready to take over at any time.
Long Yao clenched his hands into fists, bent his arms and placed them on both sides of his body, his eyes were wide open, like a crossbow ready to be fired.
"Brother, can you do it? If not, let Xiaowu do it..."
Long Yu frowned immediately, took a deep breath, grabbed the stone stick with both hands and began to stir.
He originally thought it would take a lot of effort.
Who knew that with just a move of his hand, he easily pulled up the stone bucket.
Long Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his hands in disbelief.
How can it be so easy
The three kids wanted to help, but in the blink of an eye, Long Yu had already brought up a bucket of water.
It was full, not even a drop of liquid.
"Brother, when did you become so strong?" Long Zhong asked in surprise.
In the past, they would shake when carrying a bucket of water, and half of the bucket would spill.
"It's not that I've become stronger." Long Yu shook his head and quickly faced the reality.
"The things my mother made are very useful. It takes no effort to fetch water."
As soon as Long Yugang finished speaking, Long Yao poked the water surface with his finger and suddenly said in shock:
"Hot! The water is hot!"
