Chapter 361: Identifying Dug Land

After tying all the horses and feeding them grass.

Wang An took out the rag, showed the pattern on the rag to everyone, and explained to everyone that this was a rough map, letting everyone help study it.

However, after everyone took turns watching, they all looked at Wang An with suspicion.

Old aunt's husband Feng Chengmin frowned even more, scolding Wang An:

"Xiao An, did you draw this? You drew this... hiss... it's not as good as your cousin Ruosi drew..."

Ruosi is Feng Chengmin's daughter, full name Feng Ruosi.

To be honest, the name "Feng Ruosi" is quite good in the rural areas of this era; one feels that the person who named it has a degree.

The key is that this name was named by Feng Ruosi's father, Feng Chengmin, the reason is that Feng Chengmin's family has a few pages of ancient books, and there is an idiom on it, called "thoughtful."

It must be said, Feng Chengmin still has some culture.

Big aunt's husband Lin Dajiang heard this, looked at his brother-in-law Feng Chengmin with full mockery, and then said:

"You say you are such a big person, just talking nonsense, this is clearly drawn by two little nieces, look at how well these circles are drawn, big circles inside small circles..."

Speaking of this, Lin Dajiang paused, and then asked with a blank face: "Xiao An, what is this drawing?"

Wang An, who was waiting for the two of them to come up with ideas, looked at his two aunts' husbands, twitched the corners of his mouth, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Reaching out to take the two pieces of rag, Wang An said helplessly: "That, you two should just do whatever you want."

"Hey, okay," both said at the same time.

Wang An suddenly discovered, "Everyone's eyes are actually pitch black," "Many people, strength will be scattered," "Three Zhuge Liangs together, maybe not as good as a stinky cobbler"...

So Wang An decided to follow his own ideas.

This bunch of people, useless!

And so, everyone stood there with tools, smoking, chatting, waiting for Wang An to find the location.

This time into the mountains, various tools for digging pits were basically brought by this group of people.

Ice chisel, long steel rod, big shovel, board axe, sharp pick, cross pick, these things are all hard-hitting tools.

The main role of these tools is to dry the frozen soil, and to cut off the tree roots encountered in the process of digging pits.

Board axe also has the role of chopping firewood; in this freezing cold weather, burning a fire to warm up is something that must be done.

Of course, as for tree roots, theoretically, they should not exist, but nothing is certain.

If the time for burying things is too long, and the tree roots grow again, it is also possible.

Or when burying things, the person burying things digs a hole horizontally inside, deliberately not damaging the tree roots above, to achieve the purpose of confusing the public, which is also a normal situation.

In any case, the more complete the tools, the better, mainly to be prepared.

Apart from these hard-hitting tools, the tools for shoveling soil out are sharp shovel, square shovel, small basket, etc.

To be honest, Wang An doesn't know at all where things are buried.

Mainly because the pattern on the rag is just big circles inside small circles, and the distance between the circles, how it is defined, is also incomprehensible.

So, wanting to find the accurate location is basically all about "touching."

Finding the right direction, Wang An took big steps, and when Wang An walked to the 9th step, he stopped. Then Wang An used a sharp pick against the ground and began to dig; by comparison, frozen snow is relatively easy to dig, but when it reaches the soil, it is very difficult to dig.

The frozen soil is quite hard, not only hard, but also quite tough.

This reminded Wang An of the second day he was reborn, digging guns from behind the broken temple in Yangshu Tun.

But the guns were buried very shallowly, and this time, what was buried was unknown, and how deep it was buried was even more unknown.

Fortunately, there are many people!

So Wang An only dug a shallow pit, then gave up the position, and said to everyone in a high-sounding way:

"You dig, I still have to look."

Just then, eldest uncle Wang Dashu said:

"Xiao An, we can't dig like this, the place you dug, there is clearly nothing underneath."

In fact, Wang An also found that digging like this wouldn't work, but he had no good way, so he asked with a face full of desire for knowledge:

"Then eldest uncle, what do you say we should do? The key is that I don't know which piece of land it is."

Only heard Wang Dashu say: "Look at the grass in this place, it's no different from the grass next to it, that is to say, the soil underneath has never been moved."

Wang An blinked blankly, because Wang An didn't understand this matter at all.

Wang An said: "Eldest uncle, continue, how do you see which piece of land has been dug?"

Wang Dashu explained: "I heard people say it before I helped people dig pits."

Digging pits for people means someone died, and then helping to dig, used to bury coffins.

Then Wang Dashu told the method of how to see whether this piece of land had been dug open and then backfilled.

It turns out that in these mountains, no matter which piece of land, the grass growing on this piece of land is basically the same height.

And as long as the grass on this small piece of land grows relatively high, then the soil on this small piece of land must have been moved.

Of course, it doesn't have to be man-made; it's the same if wild boars have turned this piece of land, or if it has been washed by rain.

Because grass roots are not long, and relatively loose soil can let grass roots go deeper into the soil, and the grass naturally grows higher.

Therefore, looking for places where the withered grass is relatively high, the probability will be greater.

At the same time, Wang Dashu also said that all the land that has been backfilled, even if stepped on very solidly, the soil of this piece of land is softer than other places, even if it is frozen soil, it is much easier to dig.

Finally, Wang Dashu also said that digging a pit in any place, and then filling the dug soil back and stepping on it a few times, these soils will definitely not fill this pit.

After Wang Dashu finished speaking, apart from Wang Daliang and Lin Dajiang who didn't show any strangeness, everyone else was full of surprise.

To be honest, although these things sound very simple, they are also things that can be experienced in daily life, but it must be said that without careful observation, one definitely doesn't know.

At the very least, the soil of the original pit backfilling the original pit, but the pit is not full, is a very surprising thing.

It must be said, no matter what one does, experienced people are indispensable.

After everyone was silent for a while, Wang An said with a smile:

"Eldest uncle, you still find the location with me, don't talk nonsense with them."

Wang Dashu heard this and said with a smile:

"Okay, you are the leader of our group, today eldest uncle will listen to your arrangement."

After Wang Dashu finished speaking, everyone laughed, and one after another echoed that today they must listen to Wang An's arrangement.

Thank you to all the relatives and big bosses for the votes, the monthly votes finally broke through 1000, thank you again for everyone's strong support, hands clasped, hands clasped.
