C16 The Well Water Was Sweet

In the past, when Arslan was exploring the mountains, he had seen people digging wells in the mountains. Naturally, he knew what it looked like when the water came out of a well.

At first, he could not see the bottom of the well clearly, but the sound of the water flowing down was very clear.

Soon after, the water level in the well rose visibly. The stone walls of the well were also quickly soaked by the water.

A smell of mud and grass came out from the bottom of the well.

Arslan's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with the smell of the water. Only the real spring water was like this. It was definitely better than the water in the river.

The water level soon reached about three meters away from the well. The people around the well could clearly see the water coming up from the bottom.

The water in the two-meter-wide well spun. The center of the whirlpool was clear and bright, and only the mud and sand near the wall of the well were relatively muddy. Those were the stones and the soil that had been used to build the walls.

Even so, the people around Arslan cheered.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Arslan was very excited. Before the water level stabilized, he could not help but take out a vine and hang a bag of water. He took half a bag of water, regardless of whether the water was clear or not. He held the bag of water and took a sip.

"Ah!" Arslan exclaimed, "It's really sweet!"

Even though there was still some mud and sand in his mouth, he did not care.

Compared to the water he had taken from the river two days ago, the water in this well was much better.

"Grand Sheikh!"

The surrounding people once again addressed Arslan respectfully. They looked at him with burning eyes.

Popit could not help but say, "Grand Sheikh, can I have a sip?"

"Of course!" Arslan nodded.

Popit hurriedly imitated Arslan's action and hung the bag with a vine. He took a sip of the water and could not wait to drink it.

It was just a sip, but Popit's eyes suddenly widened. His expression was first surprised, then shocked, and finally ecstatic.

"Oh!" Popit thumped his chest and stomped his feet. He shouted and looked at Arslan with a passionate gaze.

"Grand Sheikh!" Popit cheered, "This is too amazing. I think I should give the old grand Sheikh a sip of this water!"

"Of course!" Arslan nodded, "But wait a moment, when the sand here has sunk, you can go and load it up!"

"Sand?" Popit was surprised.

"Yes, there is sand in the water. Let's drink it after it has completely sunk. The taste will be even better! Otherwise, if you drink the water with sand, you will burp!"

"Burp?" Popit's face was filled with confusion, "No!"

Arslan and Popit were both shocked. They had been used to drinking water from the river and were used to drinking water mixed with the smell of the mud and sand. When they drank the water from the ground, they would only feel that it was delicious. How could they have any other feelings?

However, Arslan was a modern person. He was used to drinking mineral water, mountain spring water, and cold water. How could he compare to that?

"Alright!" Arslan could only nod his head helplessly. "You'll know after drinking for a while!"

"Yes!"

At this time, another well not far away was also completed. The water flow was similar to the previous one.

The surroundings cheered once again.

Arslan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and thought, "It seems like the underground water vein is wide enough and there is enough water. Otherwise, one of the two wells would definitely not be able to produce water."

In fact, what Arslan did not expect was that the water wells on Earth in his previous life could not be too close to each other because the underground water source was used by humans too much.

Now that he was in the primitive society, how many people knew how to develop and use underground water?

Seeing that the water level of the well was stabilized at around two meters away from the well, Arslan began to think about building a matching facility for the water well.

The so-called matching facility was naturally the ones he knew in his previous life: the well, bucket, and hemp rope.

He secretly contacted the system, but the system popped up a hidden mission achievement, "Opening a new water source, Achievement Points: 300!"

"Aiyo, there's a hidden mission!" Arslan was pleasantly surprised. "So it's the same as the game in my previous life. There are also main storylines and hidden missions!"

With the sudden increase of 300 Achievement Points, Arslan thought about how to use them.

He could directly exchange for a set of water facilities, which would add up to 200 Achievement Points.

However, the problem was that he had to make such a big thing out of thin air. It would definitely shock the people of the tribe.

He felt that it was better to not reveal it.

Therefore, he decided to use 50 achievement points to exchange for the method to make the well and the bucket. He also spent 100 achievement points to exchange for a set of tools for woodcarving.

He planned to make these things himself. He could save some money!

On the other side, Popit could not wait to get the water and rush towards the old chief's straw house.

As he ran, he shouted, "Everyone, go to the wall and get water! The Grand Sheikh has dug a well for us!"

Therefore, the people of the tribe all walked out of their caves and straw houses and rushed to the protective wall.

The first one to arrive was Alona. She held a stone jar in her hand. Her eyebrows, eyes, and face were all smiling. She shouted at Arslan from afar, "Brother Arslan, I want to drink the well water first!"

Arslan collected his thoughts and looked at the clear water. He nodded and used the leather pouch to fetch some water for her before pouring it into the stone jar.

The young girl smiled as she held the stone jar with both hands and poured the water into her mouth.

"Drink it!" Arslan said with a smile.

"Yes!" Alona held the stone jar and took a sip. She was extremely surprised. Her eyes were wide open, and she was obviously very happy.

"Ah, this water is so sweet!" The girl looked at Arslan with eyes full of light, and the smile on her face became even more sweet, revealing her pearly white teeth.

Arslan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but praise, "No matter how sweet it is, it can't be as sweet as you!"

"Ah!" The girl was like a frightened deer. Her face was flushed red, and her chest was thumping wildly. She quickly looked away.
