Chapter 149 149. Accident
Yan Shoucheng's classmate came over two days later, looked at all the land in Xiahe Village, and finally settled on five places.

It hasn't rained all spring, and the soil on the ground is broken. Under such conditions, it is difficult for seeds to germinate.

Yan Shiyun had a headache all day, and finally decided to dig the well first.

People in the village do not agree with the matter of digging a well. After all, this kind of land is related to their own food and clothing. Although the land is dry, it has been dry for so many years. How many chances are there for germination.

If the wells are drilled now, the solar term for planting will be over by then, and no amount of water will be of any use.

As soon as Yan Shiyun said this idea, the people below objected.

Isolated and helpless, Yan Shiyun pins his hopes on Yan Shoucheng.

In the impression of the villagers, Yan Shoucheng can be regarded as a young and mature school, who has worked hard outside, seen the world, read books, and knows a lot.

They were still willing to listen to Yan Shoucheng's words.

Under Yan Shoucheng's repeated assurances, the villagers reluctantly moved.

There are many people in the village, and five wells can be started at the same time.

In order to be able to drill wells faster, each well also has a person in charge.

Su Yao is also one of them, but the person in charge is not appointed through the back door, but selected by members of his own team.

On the first day of work, Su Yao brought the firecrackers from home and asked Yan Qingshan in the team to light them.

"Start work and start work".

Su Yao has never worked in engineering, but she understands the basic principles. To celebrate the start of construction, she brought some snacks here today. There are not many things, but they are equally distributed among everyone's hands, so they can try something new.

"Su Yao, how did you make this thing? It's so delicious."

After Hou Erni finished eating, she smacked her mouth.

"There is a lot of oil in it, it tastes delicious when there is too much oil."

It's not easy for rural people to eat some meat. They usually only add a little bit to taste when cooking. Seeing Su Yao's cooking, there is still oil on the hands after eating.

Su Yao smiled: "It's rare to eat, who can make it every day."

After hearing this, Hou Erni gave up the idea of ​​learning from Su Yao: "I still want to learn how to do it for my son, but if it's too expensive, I can't do it."

Su Yao smiled and did not answer.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Su Yao also mobilized everyone to work.

After eating someone's mouth is soft, it is easy to move, and in one morning, he dug half a person's height.

Su Yao brought food to everyone, and it spread around noon.

While Su Yao was having dinner at home, Xia Yulu came over.

Xia Yulu came aggressively, and asked as soon as she entered the door: "Su Yao, can't you make trouble less? As long as you are capable, you can do everything?"

Su Yao looked at Xia Yulu in bewilderment: "I'm not your punching bag, don't ask me if you're angry."

Xia Yulu took a deep breath: "Su Yao, we are a group. You and Yan Shoucheng give food to the people in your team, but we don't. Doesn't this intensify internal conflicts? The people in our team now have opinions and don't do anything. gone."

Su Yao only wanted to appease everyone's emotions, and did not consider others, but Xia Yulu came to question herself like this, which made Su Yao a little unhappy.

"Now is the solar term for sowing. If we drill the well earlier, we can sow the seeds earlier. I also try to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. If my problem has affected you, I apologize to you, but you should think about it." , how to motivate everyone, instead of making trouble for me."

Su Yao understands Xia Yulu's current relationship with the team.

As a former white-collar worker in the workplace, Su Yao also complained about his boss because other bosses were kind to employees, but this problem was due to his different personal management styles, and he couldn't blame other leaders for doing too well.

Xia Yulu looked at Su Yao more sharply: "Okay, since you want to fight with me, I will fight with you. I can still give this little favor."

Su Yao frowned, but didn't speak either.

In the original book, Xia Yulu also relied on her own money and tickets to encourage everyone to successfully dig out the well.Now it's just back to the original point, Su Yao has no right to interfere with what other people do.

Xia Yulu left aggressively, Su Yao felt a little worried.

And her fears were soon confirmed.

The next morning, in front of everyone, Xia Yulu announced her team's incentive plan.

Xia Yulu listed the progress requirements for daily work. As long as the requirements are met, every member of the team can get reward points. When the well drilling is over, the reward points will be exchanged for cloth tickets or meat tickets and distributed to everyone.

As soon as this news came out, not only the people of Xia Yulu's team were moved, but the people of other teams were also a little ready to move, wanting to change with the people of Xia Yulu's team.

The interests are all laid out, and no one is willing to give up. A group of people yelled for a long time before doing their own work.

Su Yao could also feel that the morale of her team was a bit low, and she could vaguely hear others saying that she was stingy behind her back, but fortunately, she didn't care.

Xia Yulu was in the limelight in the village like no other, and she even walked with her toes high.

Xia Yulu's good mood only lasted for three days before she suffered a backlash.

"Something happened, something happened." Su Yao's well was drilled to a depth of more than ten meters, and everyone was moving in an orderly manner. Suddenly someone ran over shouting.

The locations of the five wells are different. The one that Su Yao is in charge of is the closest to Xia Yulu. Su Yao fixed his eyes and could tell at a glance that the man belonged to Xia Yulu's team.

"what happened?"

The man panted heavily, supported his knees and said: "The well collapsed, and people were buried in it."

Su Yao couldn't care about other things, and after calling his own people to pull up the people from the well, he ran to Xia Yulu's team in a hurry.

When assigning teams back then, the whole family was grouped together as much as possible. Now someone is buried below, and the family members are sitting on top, circling anxiously.

"What's the situation now?"

The appearance of Su Yao gave the flustered Xia Yulu a fulcrum.

"Today, I still drilled the well according to the previous method. Not long after I went down, the soil began to fall from the top. It had fallen before, and I thought it was not a big deal, so I didn't care. I didn't expect that the soil behind it began to collapse in pieces. The openings are blocked, we hit too deep, and we don't know what's going on below."

Xia Yulu grabbed Su Yao's hand, looked at Su Yao with panic eyes, and asked blankly, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Su Yao patted Xia Yulu's shoulder: "Let me take a look first."

Unable to let go of Xia Yulu's hand, Su Yao dragged her to the well.

According to the forecast, the water well this time will have to be drilled for about 20 meters before it can see water. Therefore, for the follow-up to be smooth, the opening should generally be made larger, and it will gradually become narrower as you go down.

In order to catch up with the progress, Xia Yulu's team dug as deep as possible, and at the beginning they played two laps smaller than the other teams.

Looking further down, the well may only be as wide as two adults.

As a result, the oxygen supply conditions below are even worse.

Su Yao can't see the bottom of the well, but judging from the current situation, it's not very good.

"I'll go down and see what's going on."

Su Yao was worried about the safety of the people below, so she made a decision immediately.

"How can this matter make a woman stand out, I will go down."

Su Yao decided to go down because she had her own considerations. Compared with ordinary people, space allows her to have more room to move, and she can complete self-help when necessary.

Su Yao directly vetoed the proposal of the team members: "Compared with our well, this well is much smaller. It is difficult for a man to go down and turn around. It is even more difficult to dig a man out. I am small, so I can go in." It’s more flexible. I’ll go down and check the situation first, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll ask everyone for help.”

No matter what Su Yao said, the others didn't insist, they quickly made a brace, put the rope on Su Yao's body, and let her go down.

In order to test the oxygen content at the bottom of the well, Su Yao brought a torch, the further down he went, the smaller the flame on the torch, Su Yao hurriedly let the top slow down the falling speed.

Xia Yulu's well had been dug for about 15 meters, and when he stepped on the ground, Su Yao observed the surrounding situation.

The soil under my feet is soft, and I should be able to see water soon after digging.

It may be for this reason that the well diggers stopped digging down, but began to dig wider to the left and right.

The place where the soil was lost was just to the east of the well, and it was caused by the subsidence of the loose soil due to excessive hollowing out.

"Is anyone there? Hear voices?"

"Yes, yes, here."

Across a mound of dirt, Su Yao heard the voice, took a torch and leaned over to try to see clearly, but it was extinguished.

The voice of the person over there was also very weak, which should be caused by too little air and lack of oxygen.

With the bottom line in his heart, Su Yao shouted at the mouth of the well.

"Take a basket, a wooden plank, and two thicker sticks and come down."

After Su Yao finished shouting, he added: "The sticks should be about the same length."

Saving people is the most important thing now, after Su Yao finished speaking, it didn't take long for these things to be sent down with a rope.

After the top soil layer was covered with planks and supported by sticks, Su Yao began to dig bit by bit.

"I can't do it anymore, get me out quickly, I don't want to die yet." Before Su Yaotu dug a basket, he felt a little difficult to breathe. Hearing the groans of the people inside, his heart skipped a beat.

After stepping into the space to breathe some fresh air, Su Yao took a bottle of Lingquan and handed it in through the dug hole.

"The water in this bottle can help you relieve your pain, so you can share it first."

Su Yao's voice was like a life-saving straw, giving the people inside a little bit of spirit.

After a while of groping, Su Yao felt someone's hand hitting her own, and took the bottle away.

"You stay awake, don't fall asleep, I will speed up here."

Su Yao's hands didn't stop moving, she put dirt little by little, and she was still chatting with the people inside.

"I didn't hear the voice, which family are the people inside?"

The people inside didn't respond, Su Yao continued to ask: "Is it the fifth brother from the east of the village? I didn't see you on the top just now, I remember you are a team of Xia Yulu."

"Yes", the person inside responded weakly.

"Fifth brother, you have to hold on. My sister-in-law is very anxious outside, so I just wait for you to go out."

"it is good."

Fifth Brother responded weakly, Su Yao felt uncomfortable, and the movements of his hands quickened.

"I see that the well can accommodate two people. Fifth brother, there are other people beside you. I haven't heard another person talking just now. Fifth brother, please help me to see if the person is still awake."

"Wake up, wake up."

Compared to Fifth Brother, that man's voice sounded a bit stronger.

"If you talk to me more, you will be able to stay awake, and you will also help each other to cheer each other up. Let's try to get out smoothly."

"it is good."

During the whole process, Su Yao talked the most, and the people inside only gave simple answers, but this is already very good.

A lot of soil fell down, Su Yao kept digging five full baskets without resting his hands, and finally saw the two people inside.

The two lay facing each other, leaning against the earth wall, their whole person was expressionless.

Su Yao stepped forward and reached out to touch the right necks of the two people. The weak beating showed that the two people were still alive.

He patted the two people's cheeks vigorously to wake them up: "Cooperate with me, put the rope on your body, and pull you up."

The man was in a daze, so Su Yao could only take out another bottle of Lingquan and feed it in.

Su Yao sent Fifth Brother out first, and compared to Fifth Brother, the other person was a little more sober.

Seeing that Su Yao still had Lingquan in his hand, he pursed his lips: "Su Yao, give me the rest."

Su Yao's hand holding the bottle tightly.

When I came down, I didn't bring anything with me, but now a bottle of water suddenly came out. I really don't know how it came about.

As the eater of Lingquan, Su Yao knows the function of Lingquan, so Su Yao will not give it to others unless it is absolutely necessary.

Right now, this person's attitude clearly has tasted the sweetness, and there is coveting for Lingquan in his eyes.

"You're fine now, you don't need to drink water, I'll drink this by myself."

Su Yao took a few steps away from the man, raised his head and prepared to finish his drink.

"If you don't give it to me, I will go out and tell everyone."

A secret is a secret because it cannot be known by outsiders.

Su Yao's hand holding the bottle was tight, and she was struggling fiercely in her heart.

Suddenly, a rope fell and almost hit Su Yao.

"The rope is down, you go up first."

The man was not in a hurry, and had a wicked smile on his face: "I can't stand up anymore, you gave me a drink, so I can have the strength to stand up."

Su Yao gritted his back molars.

After a while of ideological struggle, he bent down and picked up the rope, and tied it to his body.

"I've done my best to dig you out. If you can't get out, it depends on your decision. I'm not responsible."

As the voice fell, another clod of soil fell on it and hit the rope.

When the man saw this, he was also scared, and he struggled to climb over, and pulled the rope over: "Xiaomian! You wait."

Quickly tie the rope to yourself and pull it out by the one above.

Su Yao watched the man rise slowly.

When he came to the mouth of the well, the man kicked hard on the wall of the well.

The soil wall, which was already not very stable, fell in large chunks.

Su Yao hurriedly hid in the nearby hole.
