"The Well Team! They dug down and found water! It's bubbling up!"
"That's—that's AMAZING!" She took off running toward the well site, Qing Lin following close behind.
Sure enough, there was a hole about six feet deep, and water was pooling at the bottom.
Clear, clean water.
"We need to line it with stones," Xin Yi said immediately. "So the walls don't collapse. And we need to build a pulley system to draw water up. And—"
"One thing at a time, little female." Qing Lin's hand settled on her shoulder. "We have three days. We don't need to finish everything today."
Right. Pace herself. She could do that.
"Okay. Well Team! Start collecting flat stones! We're going to line the well!"

When the sun began to set, they had successfully done the following:
- Foundation trenches for 5 buildings (2 more than planned!)
- Three drainage channels (still needed more)
- One functional well (lined with stones, still needed pulley)
- A pile of materials (clay, sand, more stones)
