Chapter 310 - Digging a Well (1/2)

Winston’s body tensed as he stiffly bent over.

“Wasn’t it said that the water in the lake had dried up? Get them to dig a hole in the center of the river, the deeper the better.”

“Mm?” Winston cocked his head sideways and glanced at Bai Qingqing with a perplexed look.

Bai Qingqing explained softly, “The mud in the bottom of the river has water content. Once the hole is dug deep enough, water will surely seep in.”

Winston’s eyes spun quickly in their sockets for a bit. The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt the idea was. He gazed at Bai Qingqing agitatedly, a scorching hot glint in his eyes.

Embarrassed from being stared at, Bai Qingqing retreated a step.

He’s making it seem like I’m very smart or something. Actually… it’s just that you beastmen are too unintelligent! We humans dig wells everywhere, and there has never been a deliberate need to publicize this method.

“Also, you guys can try somewhere where the terrain is low, and not necessarily have to do it at the bottom of the river.”

“I will,” Winston said in his deep voice.

Although Bai Qingqing spoke softly, the surrounding beastmen heard her perfectly well due to their keen sense of hearing. Someone asked with uncertainty, “Will there really be water?”

“Try it and we’ll know.” Winston didn’t give any excessive explanation, simply leading them and leaving.

Bai Qingqing, too, felt curious. She ran back to her bedroom and covered herself with an animal skin before getting Parker to carry her to the clear lake in the Camel Hump Valley.

With the beastmen’s immense strength, the progress of digging the well was very fast. Shortly after, there was a small mountain piled up by the side. In less than five minutes, the beastmen digging the well let out a gasp from inside.

“There’s water!”

Someone raised a basin of murky water up. Standing under the shade of a tree, Bai Qingqing was stunned.

So fast? There’s indeed a lot of water at the bottom of the lake!

Bai Qingqing indicated for Winston to continue digging—the deeper the better. News of them digging up water quickly spread throughout the entire city, astounding even the ape king.
