With his towering and strong body, he pushed Luo Xuan aside without any explanation and said, "Go and fetch water. There is a coarse grinding wheel hidden under the stone mill on the eaves. Bring it over."
Luo Tiezhu is a stonemason.
There are two types of masonry work: one is rough masonry work such as grooving and wielding a sledgehammer.
Another method is to use a small hammer and chisel to carve various patterns or detailed patterns on the stone slab.
Luo Tiezhu is an all-round mason.
Although he can't carve birds and animals, he can still do some simple lines on stone slabs.
Therefore, when Luo Tiezhu polishes his chisels, he needs to use a grinding wheel.
There were sharp tools like a coarse grinding wheel, and strong men like Luo Tiezhu, who helped Luo Xuan grind hard on the grinding wheel.
The top of the thin steel wire was polished into shape by Luo Tiezhu in a short while.
Then he took two steel wires, went back into the kitchen, and lit a fire with a "huh-huh-doo" sound.
When the hard wood in the stove was burning brightly, Luo Tiezhu stretched the steel wire into the stove and heated it up.
It's just breaking the wire into a hook shape.
If such a trivial matter were left to the future, a pair of needle-nose pliers could be done in a few seconds.
But in this era.
Just such a small thing can stump someone!
Just because the entire production team does not have a pair of needle-nose pliers.
Even the entire Zhengxing Brigade would be hard-pressed to find a vise.
Fortunately, the working people have their own set of survival wisdom: Luo Tiezhu took out a piece of steel wire, inserted its tip into the gap on the handle of the fire shovel, and gently broke it.
A fishing hook appeared perfectly in front of Luo Xuan's eyes!
"呲——"
After quenching the fire, Luo Tiezhu handed the hook to Luo Xuan: "Don't force yourself to catch eels. If you feel that your body can't handle it, come back and rest."
When Luo Tiezhu was working previously, Luo Tiezhu did not say a word to Luo Xuan during the entire process.
Moreover, his face never showed any emotion, just like the cold bluestone on the mountain.
It was only at this last moment, when Luo Tiezhu was around, that he experienced something slightly different.
After taking the fishing hook, Luo Xuan found a hoe and ran to the field next to the house to dig up earthworms.
Only this kind of red earthworm, which is half mud and half sand, is the favorite of fish.
The fat and big black earthworms under the garbage pit are fine for feeding chickens and ducks, but the effect is not so good when used for fishing.
Find a piece of bamboo tube.
All the earthworms and earthworms are packed in.
When it comes to holding earthworms, it is best to use an ink bottle or a can bottle.
It's a pity that in this era, rural people are poor and can't even jingle.
It is impossible to find an inkstand in many people's homes.
The cans and bottles that city people throw into the garbage dump are rare treasures in the eyes of rural people.
Everyone is eager to pick up a few quickly, wash them after coming back, and use them to store salt, sugar, etc.
Taking the fish basket, fishing hook, and earthworms, Luo Xuan walked towards the well in the ravine under the scorching sun.
The well is not big.
Spread your legs, step on the walls of the well on both sides, and go down alternately.
After a while, Luo Xuan slipped down to about two or three meters below the well and stopped one foot above the water.
Take out the fishing hook and stick it into the crevice of the stone.
Then he shook his wrist slightly to let the smell of earthworms spread through the cracks in the rocks.
If the eel smells the smell and sees the shaking earthworm, it will think it is a small insect that poses no threat to it.
Bending down, Luo Xuan tried in several stone crevices, but to no avail.
It seems that the soil behind the stone cracks has been drilled by eels in all directions and is riddled with holes.
Maybe the eels are hiding in the crevices of the rocks above, which is not necessarily known. This kind of thing can only be explored one by one slowly.
Luo Xuan slowly raised his head and was about to move his body.
But suddenly he found that there was a black shadow at the mouth of the well, slowly enlarging, enlarging, and enlarging again in his eyes...
"I suck!"
Luo Xuan couldn't help but scream out in surprise and wanted to turn his head to avoid the incoming thing!
But the well is narrow, how can it be moved open?
Just as Luo Xuan's exclamation came out, the word 'I' was still echoing in the well, and the word 'trough' was still drifting between Luo Xuan's lips.
It's too late, it's faster than that!
All I heard was a loud "bang"!
The heavy bucket fell from the wellhead and slapped Luo Xuan hard on the head!
With a "pop" sound, the bucket whirled Luo straight into the cold well water!
"ah?"
The person at the wellhead obviously heard the noise. She just heard her exclaim and quickly stretched her head to look into the well.
The bucket sinks and floats.
Luo Xuan's head also rose and fell next to the bucket. For a moment, it was hard to tell which was the head and which was the bucket.
"Are you okay?"
The person who shouted was Dai Hongmei, the "former" village beauty in the 6th production team.
She married in the mountains before, just when the flowers were beginning to bloom, but they had not yet had time to bloom.
Unexpectedly, the worker bees collecting honey disappeared...
Due to Dai Hongmei's misfortune, she had no choice but to return to her parents' home to live.
The people in the village are simple.
In their simple concept, as long as a product is returned, no matter what the reason is, everyone agrees that there must be something wrong with the product!
If the product is really good and the customer is not happy enough, how can they return it?
So the gossip in the village is like rice stubble soaked in paddy fields, constantly fermenting and changing...
Until it finally became stinky.
There were too many people gossiping behind his back, and Dai Hongmei's thin shoulders could not bear such a heavy burden.
As a result, Dai Hongmei, who used to laugh at everyone she met, now stays at home and seldom goes out, and she doesn't like to have too much contact with people in the production team.
At this time, others were either taking a nap or working in the storage room of the production team.
Dai Hongmei wanted to take advantage of the time when no one was around to go out and pick up a few loads of water.
During this period, there were no iron buckets for carrying water.
Everyone used two carrying poles and two large wooden buckets to carry water.
This time, it was Dai Hongmei’s third trip to pick out the water.
So the big wooden barrel she dropped had been fully soaked by the well water.
As a result, the bucket becomes extremely heavy.
How could Luo Xuan's thin body withstand the destruction of this wooden barrel falling from the sky!
"You, you grab the hook and I'll pull you up."
Dai Hongmei stretched the pole in her hand into the well, but the length was still a little bit short.
There was no other way, so Dai Hongmei had no choice but to lie down on the edge of the well and try her best to stretch the pole as much as possible.
Fortunately, the well water was cold, and Luo Xuan managed to stay awake despite this sudden heavy blow.
There is a length of rope at both ends of the pole, and the end of the rope is an iron hook.
Luo Xuan reached out and grabbed the iron hook on the rope. Dai Hongmei, who was on top, pulled Luo Xuan out of the water with all his strength.
Then Luo Xuan stepped on the well wall with his feet, and in the hustle and bustle, he was finally pulled out of the well mouth by Dai Hongmei.
Seeing that he didn't hit anyone to death, Dai Hongmei calmed down for a moment. Then he asked Luo Xuan with a concerned look on his face: "Are you...are you okay?"
"faint..."
Luo Xuan struggled to spit out a word.
"I...I'll help you lie down in the bamboo forest for a while."
The view from three sides of the well mouth is very wide. Dai Hongmei didn't want others to see this scene, so she had to reach out to support Luo Xuan.
It's just that Luo Xuan didn't have the strength to help him.
Dai Hongmei had no choice but to hug Luo Xuan, half-hugging and half-supporting him, and walked towards a bamboo forest more than ten meters away...
