It seems that you are going to flee from famine, don't be anxious or panic

Chapter 246 Water Pressure Well

After returning, Suifeng said with a smile: "Boss Huo, once we get out of this mountain, we will be out of the desert."

The mountain in front of us, or you can call it a mountain range, is located in the northern part of Moyang. It runs east-west in the desert and then extends northward. It looks like an arc shape.

If they went west through the mountain, they would cross the border, and then walk through a section of uninhabited area to reach the Mangshan area.

Now after listening to Suifeng's words, Huo and the others decided to continue their journey after lunch, trying to cross the mountain and reach the border of the no-man's land before dark.

Although the soil environment is relatively poor, the terrain is relatively flat and the view is relatively wide. You may occasionally see a few rabbits running on the barren grassland.

They will rest there then, and it shouldn't be as cold as here at night.

However, it was a good idea, but it took them two days to get out of the mountain.

After getting out of the mountain, I saw a deserted grassland, but surprisingly, there were people here.

Suifeng was driving the car and Huo was sitting in the passenger seat.

Seeing those people chasing rabbits in the wild field ahead, Suifeng said, "Boss Huo, these people look like people from our Donglin Country."

"Hmm." Huo Yu took a look and hummed, then said, "Keep going, no need to stop."

It's still early, so they go directly to Mangshan.

Suifeng nodded when he heard this, and then drove forward without slowing down.

After chasing the rabbit, the few people picked up the rabbit and looked up to see Suifeng and his car.

One of them asked in surprise: "What is that?"

"I don't know, maybe a car?" another person said.

“It’s so fast.”

"Should we go over and take a look?"

"Can you outrun it?"

"Forget it, let's go stew the rabbit meat first."

Then several people left.

Ning Yan sat in the carriage and asked the abbot, "Has the abbot been to Mangshan before?"

"No," said the abbot.

"Then how did you know that Mangshan is the most suitable place?" Ning Yan asked curiously.

"Observe the stars at night."

After hearing this, Ning Yan stopped asking questions. The secrets of heaven were not something that mortals like him could comprehend.

Qiao Yuan stood up and looked in the direction ahead, then asked, "Do you think there will be pythons coming out of this mountain by then?"

"I don't know." Huo Yun said like a little adult.

After saying this, he asked Hui Ting, "Hui Ting, have you ever seen a python?"

"No." Hui Ting was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating. After hearing Huo Yun's words, she opened her eyes and said.

"My brother and I have seen it." Huo Yun said proudly, "That snake was huge, several times longer than me and as thick as three of my arms."

"Aren't you afraid?" Ge Cong said when he heard this, "It can eat people."

"Don't be afraid, I can fight it." Huo Yun clenched his fists and said confidently.

Ge Cong believed what he said. He had seen how strong Huo Yun was.

Qiao Yuan glanced ahead and sat back in the car. There were too many uncertain factors in the future, and it was useless to think too much about it.

After an incense stick of time, they arrived near Mangshan.

The entire Mangshan Mountain is distributed in an irregular shape, with a larger span from north to south and a slightly smaller span from east to west. The outside looks no different from other mountains, but not many people know what the inside looks like.

After walking around for a while, they saw the shadow of a river at the foot of the mountain.

The water pours down from between the two peaks, then meanders down along the cliffs of the mountain, flows through the canyons on both sides of the mountain, then gathers into a pool below, and then flows to the distance.

Seeing this, Suifeng sighed, "We're finally here. Now we don't have to worry about running out of water anymore, right?"

The sound of running water makes people happy just by listening to it.

"Are we going to settle down here in the future?" Qiao Yuan stood up and asked after stretching.

Although tractors are good, it is really tiring to sit on them for a long time.

"If you don't want to, you can go back." Suifeng said jokingly.

"Forget it, I'll just stay here honestly." Qiao Yuan said.

"But this area is quite deserted," Qiao Yuan said again.

The area of ​​Mangshan is a no-man's land and is not officially under the jurisdiction of any country. The Ximao Kingdom to the west, the Yanaga Kingdom to the south, and the countries to the north, basically all pass through here and take a detour.

Because of the barrier of Mang Mountain, wars between Donglin Kingdom and Ximao Kingdom occasionally occurred, but not very frequently.

This place is sparsely populated and still maintains its most original state.

"That's nothing to be afraid of. Once we plant crops in the land, the wasteland can be turned into fertile soil." Suifeng said in a heroic tone.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and they were full of hope for the future.

Next, everyone found a relatively flat place at the foot of the mountain not far from the river to rest.

The next day after breakfast, Huo began to give orders to everyone.

Since this place may become the most important water source, it naturally cannot be destroyed at will.

They couldn't control the top of the mountain, but based on the geographical location, Huo directly designated the location of the upstream pool as a protected area, surrounded it with things, and had people take turns guarding it every day.

Ning Yan drew a well-pressuring device and asked Qiao Yuan to build it.

At that time, they will directly build a water press here, and the water pumped out can be used as drinking water.

Old Man Zhou and his friends began to think of ways to build a house. They didn't need to think about the brick house for the time being, so they built the thatched house first.

After a few days, all the thatched houses were built. At first glance, the houses were arranged in an orderly manner, making this originally desolate place look a bit more lively.

The well was dug on the same day the house was built.

Everyone gathered around the well.

A water pressure well is a water pipe with a pressing device on it.

Seeing Qiao Yuan still not moving, Sui Feng urged, "Qiao Yuan, can you do it? If not, I'll do it."

It's so annoying to be so dawdling.

If he hadn't made the water well device, he would have asked Ding and Gefu to let him be the first to pump the well.

"What's the rush?" Qiao Yuan said calmly.

Then he added, "Watch it."

Then he grabbed the handle and pressed it down. A stream of water flowed out from the opening of the water pipe above and flowed into the wooden barrel below.

"It really came out." Someone shouted in surprise.

"Let me try it too." Suifeng said.

Then he reached out and "grabbed" the handle from Qiao Yuan's hand, and pressed it down.

Another stream of water flowed out.

"Brother Qiang has a really smart brain," Old Man Zhou praised.

"That's right. If we take out the water this way, we don't have to worry about it being unclean." Aunt Zhou also said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Ning Yan curled his lips and smiled, accepting everyone's praise.
