In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen's life was relatively easy.
Go to the mushroom cultivation base to guard during the day, and sometimes go to the health room to stay.
Occasionally, one or two people from the village would come to see a doctor, but they all had minor illnesses, so he left them to Zhu Jianguo to deal with.
Having him watching over him also gave Zhu Jianguo an opportunity to intern.
In addition, there are Li Weijun and Uncle Yang.
After this period of recuperation, Li Weijun can already walk. Of course, he must use crutches when going to the ground. After all, he almost lost a piece of flesh, and recovery is still quite slow.
Uncle Yang’s condition was more serious. Not only was his hand broken, he also had a thoracotomy.
If Uncle Yang hadn't insisted on being discharged from the hospital, and Tan Youwei knew Zhou Ziwen's medical skills, he would definitely not have agreed to be discharged so early.
In the past few days, Zhou Ziwen went to Uncle Yang's house every day to help him change and prescribe medicine.
Because Uncle Yang’s condition is more serious, Zhou Ziwen will re-prescribe medicine according to his condition every day.
Changing the prescription or dosage is not a big change every day, but it is very beneficial to Uncle Yang's recovery.
After work that day, Zhou Ziwen passed by the Educated Youth Home, and Zhou Qiang was waiting at the door early.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile.
“Ziwen, are you back from work?”
Zhou Qiang smiled and exchanged greetings.
"Well, Brother Qiang, is something wrong?"
Zhou Ziwen asked.
“I’m asking you to help me look at the well!”
“We have dug the well to a depth of five meters in the past few days, but there seems to be no sign of water. Could you please help? Let’s take a look!”
Zhou Qiang habitually showed a flattering smile.
There was no way, he really couldn't stand up in front of Zhou Ziwen.
“Okay!”
Zhou Ziwen nodded and did not refuse.
In fact, he also heard Zhou Chaoyang say that the educated youths in the Educated Youth Academy were digging wells these days, but Zhou Ziwen was too lazy to pay attention and didn't know their progress.
He also didn’t expect that after so many days, they would actually dig the well.
He had said before that he needed to dig five meters deep, but now it seemed that digging would have no effect.
"Great, Ziwen, come in quickly."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiang looked happy.
He is actually under a lot of pressure these days.
After all, he and Zhang Wenli organized the digging of the well. Now they have been digging for so many days, but there is no result. Some educated youths are complaining.
"Is there a rope? I'll go down and have a look."
When he came to the well, Zhou Ziwen took a look inside.
But if you want to understand the cause of the problem, you can't see it from above. You have to go to the bottom of the well.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it right away."
Zhou Qiang nodded hurriedly, then ran back into the house. After a while, he came out with a bundle of hemp rope.
With Zhou Qiang's diligent help, the hemp rope was quickly tied to a tree. After it was firmly tied, Zhou Ziwen asked Zhou Qiang for a flashlight before going down to the bottom of the well.
Zhou Ziwen was agile and reached the bottom of the well in just a few strokes.
After arriving at the bottom of the well, Zhou Ziwen took a look at the surrounding environment. The place where he stood was newly dug by educated youths, and the color of the soil was also very new.
Zhou Ziwen frowned and pinched a little dirt on the ground.
The humidity of the soil is okay, but whether there can be water is really not certain.
Since he said he wanted to help them look at it, Zhou Ziwen didn't hesitate. Then, he checked the soil in all directions at the bottom of the well and observed the moisture of the soil.
He found that his judgment was correct. The wettest part of the soil at the bottom of the well was towards the back of the Educated Youth Yard.
“It seems that we still need to dig towards this place.”
Zhou Ziwen checked it and had an idea in his mind.
Now that the inspection was completed, there was no need for him to stay at the bottom of the well. Zhou Ziwen put the flashlight on his waist and pulled the rope to climb up.
As a result, as soon as he climbed out a few steps, Zhou Ziwen suddenly made a discovery. Because at this time, the flashlight on his waist was just in his sight.
“Why does this place look like it has been touched?”
Zhou Ziwen stopped and moved over to check it out.
“Hey, it’s really been touched. Is there any treasure hidden inside?”
Zhou Ziwen made a random guess, but something moved in his heart.
When he was drinking with Wu Dagang before, he had heard that this educated youth home originally belonged to a wealthy family.
After being abandoned for many years, it was not until the educated youth went to the countryside that the production team settled the educated youth here.
Although these wealthy families are in the countryside, they must have some capital, and if they can't save it, they are hiding it at the bottom of the well.
“Ziwen, are you okay?”
At this time, Zhou Qiang's voice came from above.
“Oh, okay, come up now.”
Hearing this, Zhou Ziwen didn’t hesitate and stretched out his hands to climb up.
It was not easy to check at this time. He planned to come over in the evening.
It’s a surprise if you get something, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.
When it comes to treasure hunting, you always get something.
"Brother Qiang, I saw the situation at the bottom of the well. We need to dig in this direction."
After returning to the ground, Zhou Ziwen pointed in the direction behind the Educated Youth Institute and said.
"How deep should we dig?"
Zhou Qiang asked hurriedly.
"I don't know how deep it will be, but there is a high chance that it can be dug through. It depends on whether you can persist."
Zhou Ziwen said.
“There is no problem in continuing to dig, but now everyone has some opinions. I don’t know if we can dig out water, and we are afraid that it will be in vain.”
Zhou Qiang explained with a wry smile, and then asked sincerely : "Ziwen, tell me honestly, what are the chances of being able to dig out water?"
"The odds are 80%!"
Seeing how seriously Zhou Qiang asked, Zhou Ziwen did not hesitate.
“Really?”
Zhou Qiang asked in surprise.
“Of course it’s true, there’s no benefit if I lie to you.”
Zhou Ziwen glanced at him.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm too excited."
Zhou Qiang laughed and said haha.
"Brother Qiang, are you okay? I'll go back first if everything is okay."
Zhou Ziwen said.
"Why are you so anxious? You have helped us so much, so I won't say thank you. You will have dinner with us today and have some drinks together."
Zhou Qiang hurriedly persuaded him to stay.
“No, the food at home is ready, let’s do it next time!”
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand and refused to leave food at the Educated Youth Home.
The meals in the Educated Youth Institute are very light, and they don’t have much food. Zhou Ziwen is not short of food, and he is too embarrassed to stay here to eat.
In this era, when visiting relatives, you have to bring your own food. If the relationship is not good enough, it is best not to eat at other people's homes.
"Okay, after the well is finished, I'll treat Ziwen to a drink."
Hearing Zhou Ziwen's refusal, Zhou Qiang didn't say much.
"Okay, then I'll wait. I won't come without good wine."
Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
Then, Zhou Ziwen chatted for a while with the educated youth who came out to watch the excitement. Seeing that the time was almost up, he left the Educated Youth Academy and returned to his home. (End of chapter)
