Chapter 1434 - 836: Li Yu’s Grandpa Is in Trouble! (Part 2)
But some reservoirs also engage in fish farming, so they didn’t use concrete to cover the bottom.For most fish ponds, the mud and waste in the water are beneficial for fish growth, whereas a concrete bottom, although clean and impermeable, doesn’t allow pollutants to decompose easily. Naturally, it’s more suitable to use a dirt bottom.
This is actually a choice: using concrete to seal the bottom prevents water leakage but isn’t conducive to farming.
Yet not sealing the bottom with concrete fails to resolve Li Yu’s initial intent of using concrete, which was to prevent any more incidents of zombies sinking to the bottom in the mud.
Just when Li Yu was feeling a bit conflicted, Ding Jiu offered a solution.
Instead of using concrete at the bottom of the reservoir, lay a layer of crushed stone underneath.
"Director Li, using stone at the bottom has quite a few benefits.
When I helped build lakes for some holiday resorts before, this method was employed.
Firstly, it helps regulate the water’s pH level, keeping the water quality neutral.
Additionally, stones have an adsorption function, they can absorb impurities, keeping the water clean. Moreover, stones contain minerals that can enhance the fish’s immunity.
Furthermore, laying stones at the bottom of outdoor fish ponds can promote the metabolism of animal cells and clean out cellular waste, having a certain health benefit.
There are drawbacks, though, namely it being rather cumbersome, requires many stones, and is quite costly.
But it doesn’t seem too troublesome now, since there’s a quarry not far from our base with plenty of stones, we could just drive over and bring them directly."
Li Yu naturally knew about that quarry.
The quarry is less than two kilometers away from where his house used to be near the national highway.
Before doomsday, every evening, you could hear the sound of explosions.
There was also a lime factory over there, years ago people would load it up and sell it at the market.
In the era when building new houses was popular, there was great demand for lime.
Li Yu thought about it carefully and felt that Ding Jiu’s suggestion truly was the best solution.
So he explained it to Li Gang and asked Ding Jiu to go and have a look, then give some professional advice.
Li Gang felt the stone bottom solution was also good after hearing it.
So he shared the result with Grandpa and Grandpa.
Li Yushi looked at the expanded mountain pond and sighed, "This is a big project. In the past, with so many people and stones, it would have cost a fortune, but now it’s not an issue."
Then he went down the mountain with Li Yu’s grandpa.
But just as they were descending, because there had been a typhoon recently, and there were still rocks and wood debris in the forest, the road wasn’t level, and there was some water, making it slippery.
Grandpa rushed down the hill, his foot slipped, and he accidentally took a fall.
"Ouch!" Liu Zhengyi slipped down, his head hitting a rock.
Since they were descending, his body fell forward, and he couldn’t get up.
"What happened?"
Grandpa Li Yushi turned his head upon hearing the sound, seeing Liu Zhengyi unable to get up from the ground.
Hurriedly walking a few steps back, he helped Liu Zhengyi up.
"Are you alright? Are you okay?" Grandpa asked worriedly.
Although both their health was strong, they often did things and had no health issues.
But with old age, bones become frail, a fall like this is not the same as for younger people.
"My foot slipped, I’m fine, I’m fine." Liu Zhengyi’s face was pale, sweat pouring from his forehead.
His head had hit the rock, no bleeding, but a bump quickly formed.
"Let’s go, get Dr. Meng to check on you." Seeing his distressed expression, Li Yushi supported him and tried to walk him down the mountain.
"No, no, let me sit for a bit." Liu Zhengyi seemed uncomfortable, waving his hand repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Yushi didn’t force him.
He slowly supported him, letting him sit down.
Liu Zhengyi gasped heavily, his mouth twitching involuntarily.
Li Yushi’s anxiety surged at the sight.
This didn’t look okay, it seemed severe.
He didn’t know what was wrong with Liu Zhengyi, blindly moving could worsen it.
The priority now was time, speed!
So he said to Liu Zhengyi, "Wait here, I didn’t bring the walkie-talkie, I’ll go call someone."
Then he sprinted up the mountain.
"Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang!"
Yelling as he ran uphill.
Sprinted a hundred meters!
They hadn’t gone far down the mountain, in half a minute, Li Yushi reached the shore, without catching his breath he shouted to Li Gang, "Quick, quick, Old Liu fell down, the situation isn’t right. Quickly contact the doctor with the walkie-talkie to come over. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
After speaking, he managed to breathe in large gulps.
With his hand resting on his waist, his eyes filled with urgency and worry.
They had been friends for decades, and relatives besides, keeping good relations all along. After doomsday, except for Hua Qian beyond the Outer City, within the Inner City, he was the only old buddy he did things with.
Li Gang dropped his shovel hearing this, running towards Li Yushi.
Nearby Song Min, Lai Dongsheng, Zhang Qinchao, and some former Armed Police team members all ran over.
This was serious!
Li Yu’s grandpa had an accident, they knew Li Yu was always extremely concerned about his family.
