Chapter 544 544. Too many water chestnuts
We will go back at 9:00. It’s not that Song Tan can’t endure hardship, it’s just that the summer sun is too harsh.
What's more, with Professor Song's level of professionalism, it would be impossible for them to return in such a graceful manner.
For example, at this moment, although Professor Song closed the tablet, he pointed to the height of the hill in front of him: "I just happened to go there on the way back."
“Yan Ran, I remember where you put your hoe, right? Go dig it up and see if the soil underneath is wet?”
They definitely didn’t take the tools with them wherever they went. Instead, they marked the selected places and then dug them out on the way back.
This is what he said...Song Tan thought to himself: If it weren't for the fact that you are all well-equipped with sun protection, I would have thought you were not afraid of heatstroke!
In this weather, her father didn’t dare to go out in the sun!
Yan Ran didn't refuse. He put the things back in his pockets. When he got to the place, he held the **** and was ready to dig.
Hum Chi, two hoes went down, and the soil underneath was indeed red and moist.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Professor Song squatted down and twisted it with his hands: "First make a mark here, and then dig down twice."
Song Tan:…
Forget it, she stretched out her hand: "I'll do it."
The arms and wrists are exposed to the sun, not to mention how white and tender they are.
"Don't do it!" Yan Ran, who had a wheatish complexion and a bit of dark skin, felt sorry for her: "I just wear a straw hat, the sun will be too much. I'll come, I'm used to doing this, and I'm strong."
No, there are calluses on my hands!
It can be seen that professionals make farmers!
Song Tan grabbed the **** and said, "I'll do it."
As he said that, he went down with the hoe. My dear, the **** pole went straight into the soil!
Then he lifted it up with force, and the roots of the weeds were pulled out, and the few people standing here fell silent.
Without trying it, the soil underneath is obviously wet and sticky.
Professor Song looked at the pit and then at Song Tan. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise her for her strength in digging deep or sigh that there was a great possibility of water source underneath...
There was silence for a long time, until Song Tan knocked the mud off the **** and put it on his shoulder: "Let's go to the place halfway up the mountain next, right?"
She remembered that Qi Lin's shovel seemed to be lost there.
So—
Before coming, Professor Song walked in front and looked around.
On the way back, Song Tan walked in front carrying a **** in a posture similar to that of Sun Wukong carrying a golden hoop. The four masters and disciples behind him were inexplicably a little reserved.
Wait until the next location—
“Where to dig? Towards the mountain wall or at the bottom?”
“On the mountain wall. Be careful, there may be rocks underneath.”
Qi Lin, who was supposed to take action, took a step back knowingly.
Song Tan admired his understanding very much. He picked up the shovel, then replaced the pickaxe he brought with him, and started to dig directly into the mountain wall.
Her sense of water was no worse than the experience of this old farmer. After a few pickaxes hit the rock formations and were mixed with soil, they made a strange sound.
Then a small stream of water gurgled out.
It sounds like the sound is really mixed with layers of stone!
Song Tan, on the other hand, looked at the water flowing out:
"It stands to reason that there are more stone layers here, and the water coming out should be clean. Is it considered a spring?" Professor Song shook his head: "I don't know, but you can see that there is a lot of soil on your pickaxe, and the terrain here is quite rough. It’s not that high. Even if the water inside is clean, it can easily be contaminated when it comes out..."
“If we look at the water quality, we have to drill out this place and test it again.”
Alright.
Song Tan just asked casually. In fact, there was no shortage of water in all directions. He made a mark and continued walking back.
He hummed again and climbed up the hill again. Standing at the top, Professor Song pointed to the pile of rocks and soil and said, "Come here."
“I’m not sure of the exact location, but look at the grass. It’s the most lush we’ve ever seen. It grows so strong in the crevices of the rocks. There’s a high possibility of water.”
Tang Xiaodong is gearing up: "Shall I do it?"
Song Tan didn’t want to work, but look at these people. There are layers of sweat under the brim of the sun protection hat, soaking and drying...
Ouch, she can’t bear it anymore.
He simply pretended not to hear what Tang Xiaodong was saying, and started digging with a hoe. He turned over five or six stones in one go, but there was still a click at the bottom!
Song Tan made a move.
Then, she withdrew her hand and said, "There are rocks underneath, so let's keep them for now. We'll wait until the well digger comes to get the drill to deal with them."
She could dig through it if she had to use force, but it was not necessary.
and…
“If you don’t come back, I’m afraid you’ll really suffer from heat stroke.”
This time no one really refused.
Professor Song’s purpose of going up the mountain today has been achieved, and he is now satisfied. What's more, everyone is not tired or hot. At this moment, they are running faster than anyone else with their hoes.
Until I descended the mountain and climbed over another hillside, on one side was a tea field that had just been cut, brown and green, on the other side was a lush chestnut forest, and there were as many trees climbing on the tall fence. The fairyland-like golden cherry blossoms are swaying in the wind.
For a moment, even the mountain breeze seemed to bring the coolness of the forest, and the expressions of several people relaxed visibly.
Subsequently, Yan Ran came forward curiously: "Your golden cherry trees are blooming so beautifully!"
"certainly!"
Song Tan couldn't help but feel proud: "This golden cherry fruit can be sold at a sky-high price."
"But if you really want to see it, come back in the evening after the sun sets. You have all drank all the water. Aren't you thirsty now? Hurry, I will cut off a few chestnut branches and go back, and let's eat watermelon."
She didn't need to say anything this time. Everyone used hoes and picks to hook up the branches. Song Tan took the scissors and clicked the basket, and soon he carried the full basket.
Back in the courtyard, not to mention Professor Song who unscrewed the water pipe and washed his face regardless of his image, even Yan Ran also splashed water on his face.
Seeing this, Wulan hurriedly chased people away: "Oh Yanran! Girls, don't pour cold water on your head like this, it's easy to get a headache... Hurry, when it's hot, go into the house and take a shower with warm water first, and then go to the living room. The air conditioner in the living room is always on. It’s open!”
At this time, Professor Song did not refuse. The clothes on his body were also wet with sweat and were stained with white salt.
So, Yan Ran rushed upstairs, and they rushed to the bathroom downstairs with a simple change of clothes.
When they entered the living room again, the cool air in the room mixed with the sweet smell of watermelon hit their faces. Everyone immediately collapsed on the sofa, completely liberated.
Then he looked at the large pot of water chestnuts and the similarly cut plate of watermelon in front of him, and sat upright again in high spirits.
Here, Song Sancheng was sitting on the shady corridor, facing a load of water chestnuts in front of him, pulling at the vines and picking them one by one.
Ouch, there are so many water chestnuts! If I had known I wouldn't have caught so much, I wouldn't have been able to finish it all!
There is another update in the middle of the night. Go eat!
