Chapter 145 Digging Ditches
Xiuxiu went to the factory this morning and found that Liu Xifeng did not come to work. Thinking that her home was located near the front, she knew that her home must be severely affected by the disaster.
So after paying out allowances and supplies to the workers, Wu Xiuzhen and I came to Liu Xifeng's house to help.
Liu Xifeng frowned and said: "Xiuxiu, how do I channel the water? I don't know what to do in such deep water!"
Xiuxiu said: "There is an abandoned mine ahead. The water in your yard will be diverted into the abandoned mine."
When Xiuxiu came, she kept an eye on it all the way to see if there was any place to divert traffic.
I happened to find an abandoned mine more than a hundred meters away from the military area, with a large stone lid covering it.
This abandoned mine was dug during the period of large-scale production in the 1950s. At that time, someone reported that there might be a mine underground on Ludao, so the higher authorities sent a mining team to Ludao.
This mining team dug a dozen large pits on Ludao, but not a single mineral deposit was found.
In the end, the country began to engage in cultural struggle again, and the mining issue was dropped.
These dozen or so large abandoned pits were also covered with large stone lids and have never been opened since.
There is a large mining pit more than 100 meters in front of the military area.
Liu Xifeng also knew about the big mine, but she had never taken it to heart.
Hearing Xiuxiu say this today, Liu Xifeng suddenly remembered.
Yes, she can divert the stagnant water in the yard into the big mine!
Look at her brain, it's really hard to work. She passes by the big mine every day and she can't think of this method!
On the contrary, Xiuxiu thought of the use of this big mine after seeing it only once. No wonder Xiuxiu can become the boss and turn the rotten coconuts on the island into money!
But Liu Xifeng quickly remembered another question and frowned tightly.
"Xiuxiu, there is a big stone lid covering the mine pit. The lid is solid, and we may not be able to move it."
Xiuxiu said: "Whether it can be moved or not, you have to try to find out. There is only one ready-made pit nearby that can be used to divert water, let's go and try it!"
Liu Xifeng nodded: "Okay!"
So the three people came to the big mine together.
The stone lid on the large mine pit was firmly covered and looked like it had not been opened for many years.
Xiuxiu said: "I will shout one, two, three, and we will lift it together."
Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen nodded together.
So, the three people put their hands on the edge of the stone cover, and Xiuxiu counted three numbers: "One, two, three!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiuxiu, Liu Xifeng, and Wu Xiuzhen lifted it with all their strength.
Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen tried their best to suck the milk, but the stone lid didn't move at all!
Liu Xifeng said with a look of disappointment: "Let me tell you, it won't work at all. If the stone cover could be removed so easily, it would have been removed long ago. It can be seen that it is too heavy, so it was not removed!"
Wu Xiuzhen originally didn't want to put in any effort, but she was doing all these physical jobs now because Xiuxiu was with her, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to do these dirty and tiring jobs.
Xiuxiu was also secretly surprised. She didn't expect the stone cover to be so heavy.
Looks like she needs to work harder.
However, if you work hard, Wu Xiuzhen and Liu Xifeng won't be able to spot it, otherwise they will become suspicious.
So, Xiuxiu deliberately said to Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen: "Just now, the three of us were each lifting one side of the stone cover. Our strength was too scattered, and it was normal that we couldn't lift it. Now the three of us lift one place and push it together."
Let's see if we can lift the stone lid!"
Liu Xifeng had already tested the weight of the stone cover just now, and she didn't have much hope anymore, so after hearing Xiuxiu's suggestion, she just nodded numbly.
As for Wu Xiuzhen, she was just here to make soy sauce. Anyway, she didn't think the three of them could lift the lid of this big stone. She would just do whatever Xiu Xiu asked her to do.
So Wu Xiuzhen, Liu Xifeng and Xiu Xiu stood together this time, with their three hands supporting the same place on the edge of the stone cover.
Xiuxiu said: "I call three two one, let's lift the lid together - three, two, one..."
While shouting slogans, Xiuxiu installs the power, and concentrates all the strength on the arms!
Since traveling to this era, her kung fu has declined a lot since it has not been used for a long time.
But even so, the strength is still greater than the strength of ten men combined!
I saw Liu Xifeng exclaiming in surprise: "Oh, the stone cover has really been lifted a little!"
Wu Xiuzhen, who had been playing soy sauce, suddenly became energetic. She thought it was the result of the three of them working together, so she worked harder to lift the lid of the stone.
Not to mention Liu Xifeng. He was just helping her, so she naturally had to put in extra effort.
In fact, what Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen didn't know was that 99% of the weight was supported by Xiuxiu alone.
Xiuxiu remained silent, concentrated her energy, and channeled all her strength to her arms.
Seeing that a small opening had been opened on the stone cover, Xiuxiu continued: "I call 321, let's lift it hard again and lift the cover over!"
Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen were both very serious this time and said in unison: "Okay!"
So, Xiuxiu shouted "three two one", and at the same time, she used all the strength she had accumulated in her arms, and saw that the lid of the big stone was opened up with a big hole, and finally rolled to the other side of the mine.
Liu Xifeng and Wu Xiuzhen cheered happily: "Great, great, we really lifted the stone lid!"
Wu Xiuzhen is now full of confidence in herself.
She had always felt that she was weak in the past, and she looked no less strong today. She could lift the cover of such a heavy stone!
Liu Xifeng was even more happy and kept repeating, "Women hold up half the sky."
Xiuxiu looked inside the big mine and was surprised when she saw the blackness.
It seems that the mine is not shallow!
I must have put in a lot of effort when digging!
But she was very curious about why it was said that there was a mine on Ludao, but it was not dug out in the end.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Liu Xifeng urging from the side: "Sister, let's quickly divert all the water in my yard!"
Liu Xifeng finally saw hope now. The haze in her heart had been swept away and the sun was shining brightly again.
Xiuxiu nodded: "Okay."
So Xiuxiu and Liu Xifeng went over and started to divert the water, digging a shallow trench from Liu Xifeng's yard to the location of the mine pit.
As for Wu Xiuzhen, she had no strength and could not dig, so she rested at Liu Xifeng's house and watched Xiuxiu and Liu Xifeng dig ditches.
