Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 98: Well digging in Shapingba!

He has made breakthroughs in pile skills and is more proficient in grappling than before. In Sun Xiangyang's opinion, there will be no problem even if he goes to Shapingba alone.

But the previous robbery incident made the old branch secretary a little scared.

I thought to myself that fortunately I had the foresight to prevent Sun Xiangyang from running around on his own.

Otherwise, losing some money is nothing, but if you are injured, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, he told Sun Xiangyang more than once that as long as he left Shuangshui Bay, he must ask Sun Qingwu to follow him.

And Sun Qingwu, the commander of a militia company, now seems to have become Sun Xiangyang's personal bodyguard.

The key is that he himself enjoys it.

When Sun Xiangyang came to Shapingba, he didn't need to ask anyone. As long as he came to the location where the well was dug, he could find Sha Hongcheng.

Not only is this person here all the time, but if he doesn't come here a few times a day, he won't be able to eat.

On the contrary, as long as he is around here, even if he is eating the steamed buns, he will find them delicious.

"Sha Zhi Shu."

"Xiang Yang is here? Are you tired from the journey? Didn't I leave the donkey cart over there? Why didn't you come here in the donkey cart?"

As soon as they met, Sha Hongcheng asked with concern on his face.

He only had to look at the shoes and trouser legs of Sun Xiangyang and Sun Qingwu to know whether they came on foot or in a donkey cart.

"The donkey cart is now helping to transport the soil, and the distance is not that big. You can also exercise by walking here."

Sun Xiangyang said.

Upon hearing this, Sha Hongcheng took a closer look and nodded.

"I see that your face looks much better than before."

"Thanks to Mr. Sha for teaching me Zhuang Kung Fu and that prescription."

Sun Xiangyang took the opportunity to say.

"As long as it's useful to you. Anyway, if you don't find someone to pass on these things to me, you'll have to keep them in the coffin."

Sha Hongcheng still couldn't forget the fact that his young master confiscated Sun Xiangyang as his apprentice.

"How is the well drilling here?"

Sun Xiangyang simply avoided the topic.

"It's already twenty meters away, and we're almost out of water."

When mentioning the well, Sha Hongcheng suddenly became very happy.

"So fast?"

Sun Xiangyang estimated that the progress was more than twice as fast as the original Shuangshuiwan.

"The well mouth drilled here is thin. Originally, according to my intention, it was the same as the well in Shuangshui Bay. However, the well drilling team had a bigger objection. They wanted to pump out water first, and then expand it according to the water output."

Sha Hongcheng explained a little embarrassedly.

This method is, to put it mildly, safe.

Otherwise, like the one at Shuangshui Bay, the diameter is often three to four meters, and the amount of work would be more than twice as large.

If you are sure that water can be pumped out [-]%, then of course there is nothing to say. For the sake of the future, just slow down.

But what if?
  Of course, this also has the advantage of being able to see the water earlier, which can calm people's minds.

No matter for Shapingba or for the well-drilling team, the sooner the water is released, the better.

"pretty good."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

"Xiang Yang, I really can't believe you. The well digging team is used to this style of play. I have made suggestions several times, but they don't work."

Sha Hongcheng rubbed his hands and his face turned red.

"Secretary Sha, how the well-drilling team fights is a matter for the well-drilling team. What does it have to do with you? Besides, I also think this method is quite good. It shows that the well-drilling team is more professional."

Sun Xiangyang didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The method of drilling wells like Shuangshuiwan is abnormal.

But it is enough to show how much trust and support the old party secretary has in him in Shuangshuiwan.

"Captain Sun, you are here."

At this time, Liu Chunhua climbed out of the well and quickly came to Sun Xiangyang regardless of the dust all over her body.

The Xunlong Ruler was pinned to her waist at the moment.

"Captain Liu, how is the situation down there?"

"We have hit the flat fault. After cleaning it up, we can determine the underlying geological structure. Although based on the experience of the two previous wells, this well does not look like it contains water, but I still trust your judgment more. "

Liu Chunhua thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.

Although she is the captain of the well-drilling team, she is not in a position to express her opinions at this meeting. Not to mention that the well-drilling team also has a vice-captain. Even a random person can express his or her own opinions.

The key is that Liu Chunhua can't come up with enough theory to support this well. Even if she uses the Dragon Seeking Ruler as a basis, she herself doesn't know how to do it.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the pressure she endured.

If it weren't for the prestige accumulated in the past and Sha Hongcheng's firm support, this well would not have persisted until now.

"Captain Liu, if the well-drilling team really has any objections, they will leave if it doesn't work. We in Shapingba will dig our own people. Slow down."

Sha Hongcheng couldn't help but said.

"Secretary Sha, we have now reached a consensus on thirty meters as the limit. But by then, even if I am the only one left, I will continue to fight."

Liu Chunhua said.

In the final analysis, the previous two wells still failed to produce water. The rest of the well-drilling team no longer had hope for this side. Everyone felt that unless a well of hundreds of meters was drilled here, it would not be possible to drill a well of thirty or forty meters. It is impossible to get out of the water.

Rather than wasting time here, it's better to leave first and go fight somewhere else.

We can't get water out and everyone will be stuck here forever, right?

"Then let's use thirty meters as the limit."

Sun Xiangyang said simply.

It was normal for the rest of the well-drilling team not to trust him. They had not seen many things with their own eyes.

They have been drilling wells for many years. To a certain extent, they represent authority and believe in their own judgment.

However, looking at the looks of Sha Hongcheng and Liu Chunhua, it was clear that they were still willing to believe him.

Since the two of them chose to believe him, Sun Xiangyang couldn't say anything more about trying or not guaranteeing anything at this moment.

He doesn’t have confidence himself, so where do others get their confidence?
  Even if water cannot be drilled thirty meters away, the people from Shapingba can continue drilling after the well drilling team leaves.

In short, according to Sun Xiangyang's judgment, there is [-]% something underneath, even if it is not a water vein, it may be something else.

If this well was not good enough, he would try to use up more experience and continue to upgrade the dragon-seeking ruler, and he would not believe that he would not be able to find water.

The persona he managed to maintain with great difficulty cannot be lost here.

Especially there are [-] temporary team members from Shapingba over at Shuangshui Bay. Those people are also waiting for the good news here.

"Captain Sun, don't worry, I will definitely get the water out here."

Liu Chunhua also said firmly.

"How is your research on Xunlong Ruler going? Did you gain anything down there just now?"

Sun Xiangyang looked at Liu Chunhua's Xunlong Ruler at her waist and asked.

"Maybe I'm too stupid and haven't succeeded yet."

When mentioning this, Liu Chunhua felt a little unnatural.

"It doesn't matter if you don't succeed for a while, as long as you believe in it, and to use the Xunlong Ruler, your mind must be calm, and use your heart to feel the Xunlong Ruler in your hand. Regarding how to calm your mind, you can ask Sha Zhishu for advice later."

Sun Xiangyang gave guidance based on his experience in using the Xunlong Ruler.

"Secretary Sha Zhi?"

"I?"

Liu Chunhua and Sha Hongcheng were stunned for a moment.

"Yes, doesn't Sha Zhishu also know how to perform Zhuang Gong? Even if you learn a little bit about it, it will be of great help to your meditation."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

In fact, the best person to learn from should be Mr. Sha, but it is difficult for him to say this.

However, Sha Hongcheng also learned some lessons from Mr. Sha. Although he didn't stick to it, he definitely understood some of the tricks.

As for whether he can grasp it, it depends on Liu Chunhua himself.

"Zhanzhuang, is that thing useful?"

Sha Hongcheng patted his head and thought about it in his heart.

If Zhanzhuang can learn how to find the Dragon Ruler, should he also try it?

Apart from anything else, he was confident that there was nothing wrong with Zhanzhuang's superficiality.

"Sha Zhishu..."

Liu Chunhua immediately turned her head to Sha Hongcheng, her eyes seemed to be shining.

"It's a trivial matter. I'll teach you later."

Even Mr. Sha doesn't have any sectarian opinions, let alone Sha Hong's achievements.

It's just a stand-in. As far as he knows, his young master knows several sets. In his eyes, this thing is not valuable at all.

"Then do I want to become a disciple?"

Liu Chunhua is now a bit addicted to apprenticeship.

I wanted to worship Sun Xiangyang before, but unfortunately they were unwilling to accept her.

This meeting will target Sha Hongcheng again.

The main reason was that Geng Guohai had instilled in her that these trades were not taught to outsiders, not from master to father, but from father to son.

After listening to it too much, Liu Chunhua instinctively thought that only if she became a disciple would others be willing to teach her.

"No, no, it's not something important. There's no need to become a disciple."

Sha Hongcheng was so frightened that he waved his hands quickly.

At his age, how can he accept a disciple?

What's more important is that he himself only knows a little bit about it. He will have to ask the young master for advice later. How can he accept a disciple?

Isn't that a mistake?

However, he also had no intention of introducing Liu Chunhua to his young master.

The other party is not Sun Xiangyang. The key is that he doesn't want to learn martial arts. He just wants to learn some tricks to understand the Xunlong Ruler. Why does his own young master need to come forward?

Do you really think that my fist can't move him?
  "Okay, then please give me some advice, Secretary Sha."

Liu Chunhua said extremely seriously.

In order to learn how to find the Dragon Ruler, she is willing to suffer no matter how much hardship she has to endure.

"Master Geng is not here?"

At this time, Sun Xiangyang glanced at the well drilling team, but did not see Geng Guohai, so he couldn't help but ask.

According to the old party secretary, Wang Li's incident was the other party's handiwork.

So now the other party should wait for him to come to thank you in Shapingba.

"He has something to do and has returned to the club."

Liu Chunhua's expression suddenly felt unnatural.

Sha Hongcheng, who was next to him, gave Sun Xiangyang a look.

Then the two of them came to the side alone.

"Xiang Yang, you want to ask about Wang Li, right? It's a coincidence that I was thinking about how to start, but Master Geng came to me and told me what Wang Li did in Jinjiagou. I asked someone to check it out, and that guy was really a bastard.

Then I went to Jinjiagou, talked with Jin Laohao, and asked him to come forward to persuade the family to report Wang Li.

Don't worry, I didn't do anything dirty in this matter. It was purely because he deserved it. He had an aunt and a child, but he still harmed someone else's eldest daughter. Jin Lao Kou was also angry and wanted justice.

Therefore, Wang Li had almost no chance of making a comeback, and he was also fired from the well-drilling team.

Master Geng returned to the club yesterday. I don’t know what he was doing specifically. Anyway, that person is mysterious sometimes, so please pay more attention. "

Sha Hongcheng briefly told the process.

When Sun Xiangyang was asked to come forward in Shuangshui Bay, he promised to solve the Wang Li matter.

The goal is now considered accomplished.

Even if Wang Li had an uncle who was the vice president, he would not dare to come forward openly on this matter.

"Please worry about this matter. As for Master Geng, I will pay attention to it."

Sun Xiangyang nodded.

Geng Guohai gave Dudu gifts and favors. It was strange that he had no purpose.

If it's just a simple matter, or something serious, Sun Xiangyang doesn't mind helping.

But he felt that Geng Guohai's purpose was not simple and might be related to that kind of thing. For this, Sun Xiangyang could only say sorry.

But now that the other party is not here and has not looked for him, he can only pretend that he doesn't know.

Later, Sun Xiangyang told him another purpose of coming here, and then accompanied by Sha Hongcheng, he went to Mr. Sha's house.

In the yard, the stone lion in Mr. Sha's hand has obviously changed to another one. This one has just started carving.

When he saw Sun Xiangyang arriving, he just glanced at him briefly and continued to carve with his head down.

But within two seconds, Mr. Sha raised his head again and stared at Sun Xiangyang who was walking over.

"Master, Xiangyang is here to see you."

Sha Hongcheng couldn't help but remind him.

My young master is old and his eyesight is not working well?

You have to keep staring at people.

"You, have you just started Zhuang Gong? No, that's not right. Looking at your walking posture, the roots under your feet, and the coordination of your body, it doesn't look like you have just started, but rather like you have been practicing it for more than ten years."

Mr. Sha directly dropped the stone lion and carving knife in his hand, quickly came to Sun Xiangyang, circled around him twice, and even couldn't help but reach out and pinch Sun Xiangyang's back and spine.

"impossible."

"Master, are you okay? What's impossible?"

Sha Hongcheng couldn't hold it back.

"Not talking to you."

Mr. Sha glared angrily, then set his eyes on Sun Xiangyang again, looked up and down, and then said: "Stand still, don't hide or tuck."

"it is good."

After Sun Xiangyang finished speaking, he put on airs on the spot.

Since the three-in-one pile was upgraded to [Small Success], Sun Xiangyang no longer has to find the feeling and adjust his posture when standing again. The frame of the pile seems to have become a part of his body. If he stands casually, he will be stable. .

Moreover, Sun Xiangyang's breathing can also control the rhythm naturally.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Sha's eyes widened again, his face full of disbelief.

He remembered what it was like when Sun Xiangyang came last time. He even checked it personally at that time. He was sure that Sun Xiangyang had not learned martial arts or stance.

At that time, even if the other party was relatively talented in stances, it would be great if he could get started. How could he reach the current level?
  Is he an old fool, suffering from amnesia, and remembering the wrong time?
  How many years ago was it when Sun Xiangyang came last?

"This skill of yours..."

"Master, has Xiangyang gotten started with Zhuang Gong? As I said, he can become a Feng Shui master, so how can he be so talented? You must have been wrong last time."

Sha Hongcheng also knows Zhuang Kung Fu.

Although he didn't see it at first, when Sun Xiangyang stood firm, he immediately noticed the difference.

Then he spoke eagerly.

"Shut up and go away."

Mr. Sha was interrupted and his fists were clenched, so he reacted in time and did not hit him.

"Old man, I came here just to ask you for advice. That morning, when I was standing on the stand, I suddenly felt something. Then I felt like my whole body was floating at first, and then fell all of a sudden. Then I became a little confused. I felt like I had lost my soul. It took me a long time to wake up, and then I found that my pile skills seemed to be a little different.

I think I'm getting started, but I'm a little unsure, so I came here to ask for your help. "

Sun Xiangyang said truthfully and falsely.

What he described at the beginning was indeed what he felt when he got started, but what followed was just nonsense.

But after listening to his words, Mr. Sha frowned and started thinking seriously.

After a few minutes, the other party spoke carefully.

"Your skill is more than just a beginner. If you have to classify it, it should be a minor achievement. I remember that I also stood for seven or eight years before I could achieve your level of success. As for the feeling you just mentioned, it's a bit like Sudden enlightenment, in Taoism, means entering the Tao.

The reason why this happens is probably related to the fact that you are a Feng Shui master. You have had a good foundation in this aspect since you were a child, so you can have an epiphany after being exposed to Zhuang Gong. "

After Mr. Sha finished speaking, the pity on his face became even stronger.

With this understanding, it is no wonder that he can become a Feng Shui master at a young age. Unfortunately, he is born with deficiencies in the root bones. Even with the prescriptions he gave and the improvement through Zhuang Gong, due to his age, no matter how hard he practices, he will not be able to Achievements in martial arts were also limited.

Perhaps this means that if there is a gain, there must be a loss.

"So it is."

Sun Xiangyang nodded, as if he had cleared up the doubts in his heart.

"Master, are you saying that Xiangyang's skills are so small that he can catch up with you in just a few days?"

After all, Sha Hongcheng couldn't hold it back and asked with a surprised look on his face.

Hearing his words, Mr. Sha twitched the corner of his mouth. In theory, this was not wrong, but...

"Get out of here!"

Sha Hongcheng was startled, looked at his young man's clenched fist, thought for a moment, wisely closed his mouth and took two steps back.

But he just wouldn't leave.

"Old man, although my pile skills have improved a lot, my grappling skills are far behind. I would like to ask you to give me some more guidance this time."

Sun Xiangyang talked about another purpose.

Although the carpenter made a wooden man, it would not move after all. Just by comparing it every day, the progress was too slow.

The best way is naturally to let Mr. Sha give personal guidance. Although this will inevitably lead to another physical and mental suffering, as long as you can master the skills as soon as possible, everything will be worth it.

And as long as you become skilled, the rest will be easy.

"Okay, if you're not busy over there, I suggest you stay here for a few days."

Mr. Sha agreed directly.

"no problem."

Sun Xiangyang thought for a while and agreed directly.

In the next few days, Sun Xiangyang stayed at Mr. Sha's house. The bedding was all brought by Sha Hongcheng, and he lacked nothing.

As for Shuangshui Bay, Sun Xiangyang also asked Sun Qingwu to go back and explain the reason.

However, Sun Xiangyang stayed here not only to learn grappling techniques from Mr. Sha, but also for another reason, which was to see when the well would be able to produce water.

Thirty meters is just a rough, vague number.

Especially according to Liu Chunhua's past experience, this well does not seem to contain water so far.

In fact, experienced well drilling teams can basically determine whether there is water or not as long as they drill to a certain depth.

This involves knowledge such as aquifers and aquifers.

Anyway, Sun Xiangyang definitely didn't understand this aspect. He only believed that the Xunlong Ruler skill, which had been mastered and reached [a small success], would not deceive him.

At present, Sha Hongcheng still trusts him as always. He has said more than once that he should let the well-drilling team leave and lead the drilling himself.

As for the well-drilling team in the company, except for Liu Chunhua and Geng Guohai, who trusted him, the rest of the well-drilling team still did not believe that the well could produce water.

If you continue to fight, it will be a waste of time.

This is undoubtedly a very real problem.

And as time goes by, this dissatisfaction will continue to accumulate.

Even Liu Chunhua will be unable to suppress her sooner or later.

On this day, Sun Xiangyang, under the guidance of Mr. Sha, finished practicing grappling, endured the pain all over his body, and came to the well.

At this time, after several days of continuous fighting, the well had been drilled down to almost thirty meters.

This well is only about two meters thick. There is a shelf standing on top. It uses pulleys to continuously lift up the gravel dug out from below, and then transports it away and dumps it aside.

When Sun Xiangyang came over, Liu Chunhua was arguing with a middle-aged man.

"Captain, the well is now almost [-] meters deep and has reached the stone layer. I think there is no need to drill any further, and there will be no water at all."

Sun Xiangyang, the man who spoke, has also known the identity of the man in the past few days.

The deputy captain of the well drilling team, Ma Zhiwen.

However, although he has always been opposed, he has not deliberately hindered the drilling of wells so far. He even sets an example and works very hard.

"Old Ma, I feel like as long as we break through this stone layer, water will come out."

Liu Chunhua said.

"Captain, I haven't seen the dragon-seeking ruler before. If you say three to five meters of groundwater, it is of some use, I believe it. But at thirty meters, can the dragon-seeking ruler measure accurately?

And who knows how thick this stone layer is?
  What if there are dozens of meters of stone layer, do we still have to keep attacking? "

Ma Zhiwen's dark face was full of helplessness.

He felt that his captain was obviously obsessed with finding the Dragon Ruler.

Then he saw Sun Xiangyang, and his face suddenly turned cold.

It was this young man who claimed to have found water in Shuangshui Bay using the dragon-seeking ruler. Then he was invited here by Party Secretary Sha, and he still used the dragon-seeking ruler to find the current well.

The key is that his captain and Party Secretary Sha firmly believe in this.

But in his eyes, the other party is a liar.

Naturally, he will not look good.

"Captain Sun."

Liu Chunhua also saw Sun Xiangyang at this time. On the contrary, she was obviously relieved.

"Did you hit the stone layer?"

Sun Xiangyang asked.

"Yes, but according to my judgment, this stone layer will not be too thick. I am going to penetrate it."

Liu Chunhua expressed her attitude again.

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look."

Sun Xiangyang shook the Xunlong Ruler in his hand and decided to go down and have a look in person.

"Okay, I'll be with you."

Liu Chunhua's eyes suddenly lit up.

Afterwards, the three of them went down to the well together.

　Chapter One, six thousand words.

　　There is another chapter tonight, which will definitely make up [-] words, but it may take one or two o'clock. Everyone will read it when you get up tomorrow morning.
