The young man asked with a smile for a long time before he found out that this ancient well in the village was several hundred years old. It is said that many years ago, this place was originally a swamp. At that time, Liangshui City, a hundred miles away, was at war, and many people fled here. They opened up fertile fields, built houses, and settled here. They lived here for hundreds of years, and the well was dug during that time.
"... The ancient well is not always full of water. In winter, the water level drops, exposing the well's bottom, and the village chief would have us go down to clean out the silt..."
The young man nodded. Such things were common. If there were underwater channels beneath the ancient well, silt would accumulate. To prevent the well bottom from getting thicker and the water level from getting shallower, cleaning out the silt during the dry season was common. But this year, this farmer found something in the silt while doing the usual cleaning.
