"Master, do you already feel that there is something wrong with this bamboo pear?" Ling'er asked, but judging by the tone of her voice, it seemed that she had already felt it.

"Yes, I seem to feel that there is a power hidden in this bamboo pear, or a kind of spiritual power, that feeling...... I'm not sure yet, but I hope to find out where I found the bamboo pear!"

The reason why Zhong Lin asked Xue Xiaojie to take them to find Zhuli was precisely for this.

"Xiaojie, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"Zhong ...... Owl, ask whatever you want, as long as I know, I will tell you. Xue Xiaojie said very resolutely.

"Ha, it's actually nothing, you don't have to be so nervous, besides, I've checked, there are no 'eyes' around here, if you don't get used to calling me, you don't need to call me 'owl'. ”

"Hey, Brother Zhong, you said it earlier, I've really been nervous all the time! Seeing that her father's illness had obviously improved under Zhong Lin's treatment, Xue Xiaojie's mood was much better.

"Xiaojie, what I want to ask is, what kind of people are sick in your village?" Zhong Lin frowned when he saw Xue Xiaojie after listening to his question, and didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he continued to ask: "I mean, do the sick people in your village have anything in common, such as ...... in addition to your father?"

Speaking of this, Zhong Lin paused, because he was afraid of arousing Xue Xiaojie's sadness again.

"Brother Zhong, you said my grandfather, right?"

"Yes, except for your father and grandfather, I have seen it just now, you and your mother have no problem, I wonder if there is any difference between you and your father and grandfather, such as food or other aspects?"

"This ...... I didn't think about it, let me think about it, ...... eating, drinking."

Xue Xiaojie naturally knows the "looking, hearing, inquiring" that Chinese medicine pays attention to, and through the process of Zhong Lin treating her father just now, Xue Xiaojie has regarded Zhong Lin as an existence no less than a divine doctor. Because many people in the village, including his father, have almost been sentenced to death by the town's doctors. At this time, since Zhong Lin asked such a question, it must be related to the treatment of the disease, and it is likely to find out the root cause of the disease and the way to cure the pain. Therefore, Xue Xiaojie thought seriously.

But after a long while, Xue Xiaojie still shook her head and said, "There seems to be no difference, we all eat together, and the drinking water is the same." ”

"Well, I thought a little bit. ”

It was a lark who spoke, and Zhong Lin nodded to her and motioned for her to continue.

"Miss Xiaojie, are there more men and fewer women in your village, or are there no women at all? Like your family, your father and grandfather are sick, but you and your mother are fine. The lark said.

"I thought about this question just now, although this is the case in our family, but there are also women in other families who have this disease, but what you said reminds me that no child in the village has this disease, I don't know if this counts? I was just thinking about the food and water we ate, after all, everyone suspects that it is a pollution problem!"

A word to wake up the person in the dream, after the guidance of the lark, Xue Xiaojie said.

"Kid?"

Xue Xiaojie's discovery can indeed be regarded as a feature, but this feature is beyond Zhong Lin's expectations. Because children's resistance and immunity are definitely weaker than adults, if the problem is water pollution, then the first to hit the child should be right, why no child gets sick, is there no problem with drinking water?

"Bamboo pear?"

Something flashed in Zhong Lin's head, so he asked, "Xiaojie, when did you find the bamboo pear?

"Soon after the completion of the island enterprise, someone found bamboo pears in the mountains, and I heard the elders say that the appearance of bamboo pears is not a good thing, at the beginning there were relatively few, and no one ate them, and later, oh, by the way, children, yes, it is the children who eat bamboo pears first. Later, when people knew that this bamboo pear was edible and delicious, the adults thought that bamboo pear was a rare thing, and they would pick it off and give it to the children at home to eat, could it be a bamboo pear......

Xue Xiaojie said and spoke, and crystal tears appeared in her eyes.

"Xiaojie, haven't your grandfather and father ever eaten bamboo pear?"

In fact, Zhong Lin also suspected that the power contained in this bamboo pear might be able to suppress the harm caused by water pollution to the human body, and the reason why he asked Xue Xiaojie was to get confirmation from her.

At this time, Xue Xiaojie couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly squatted on the ground, covering her face with her hands and crying "woo-woo". She cried so sadly that the lark and the plum finch had to be by their side to comfort them. After a long while, Xue Xiaojie stood up with sobs, but her eyes were already a little red and swollen from crying.

"Bamboo pears are rare, and they are very delicious, and generally the adults in the family will pick them up and take them back to the children when they see the ripe bamboo pears on the mountain. My family is no exception, my grandfather found out that all the bamboo pears were brought to me to eat, and he always said that the bamboo pears were too hard, and his teeth were not good, and he couldn't bite them. And my father will bring it to me and my mother when he finds out about it. If it's really because I didn't eat bamboo pears that my grandfather will die and my father will get sick, then ......"

Xue Xiaojie choked up as she spoke, tears falling again......

"Xiaojie, don't be sad, I don't know if this bamboo pear has a detoxification effect, even if it is, no one knows before, our Chinese men are the same, and if there is a good one, it will let the old and the young, women and children. ”

At this time, Zhong Lin thought of his grandfather, although he now knows that his grandfather is not his biological grandfather, but in his memory, his grandfather loves his grandson more than the grandfather of other children. If there is anything delicious, he is reluctant to eat a bite, and he has to leave it all. In fact, looking at the whole of China, this is not the case.

Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and even when encountering danger, they will surround the old and young women and children in the middle, and the young and strong stand outside to meet the enemy, which is the thinking of the Chinese people......

Several people were silent, quietly searching in the bamboo forest, and on the way, they also found patches and patches of dead bamboo, this scene made people feel a breath of death, and everyone's heart was like pressing a big stone, breathless!

"Is that a bamboo pear?!"

The cry of the plum finch broke the silence, and everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, there were two fruits hanging from a bamboo in front of her, and the shape of the fruit was very similar to a pear, a fruit that people often eat.

"Yes, that's it. ”

Xue Xiaojie said excitedly and rushed over directly.

"These two bamboo pears are ripe. ”

After Xue Xiaojie finished speaking, she carefully picked off the two bamboo pears and put them in the bamboo basket.

Zhong Lin stepped forward and picked up the bamboo pear that Xue Xiaojie had just picked. Sure enough, the faint but very strange power he had felt before also existed in the two bamboo pears.

"Master, these bamboo pears may contain the source power of water!"

Xiao Dingling suddenly said excitedly.

"What, the source power of water, how can the source power of water exist in this bamboo pear?"

Although Zhong Lin felt that the power in the bamboo pear or the weak spiritual power fluctuation was a little weird, he didn't think about the source power, because it was too incredible.

"Perhaps the ground under our feet contains a wealth of water source power, and these bamboos that grow here naturally absorb a small amount of water source power. Now that the bamboos have realized that the environment in which they live has been severely damaged and is no longer suitable for their growth, they have concentrated all the essence of their bodies on their fruits. These water source forces are too weak to be discovered by the owner when they are scattered throughout the bamboo, but when they are concentrated on a small bamboo pear, the water source power and the wood source power on the owner's body will sense each other, so it is perceived by the owner. ”

Xiao Dingling shook his little head and explained, I have to say that what he said does have a certain truth.

"If it's really as you said, this area hides the source power of water, then I shouldn't just perceive ......it," Zhong Lin was a little puzzled.

"Master, are you saying that when you approached the source power of the wood when you were in the Red Continent, the source power in your body increased, but the source power of you did not increase at all now?"

Ling'er also appeared in Zhong Lin's mind at this time.

"Yes, that's exactly what I thought of, isn't this water source power related to me?" Thinking of this, Zhong Lin couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Master, when you were in Hongzhou, the original source power in your body was almost exhausted, so as long as a little bit of source power entered your body, you could clearly feel it. But now it's different, you've completely absorbed the source power of the wood, and with the continuous improvement of your cultivation, the source power of the wood is also growing, and the source power in your body now is not the same as before. Therefore, on this basis, add a little bit of source power, and you will not feel it so easily. For example, if you add a tablespoon of water to an empty bowl, you will obviously see that there is water in the bowl and that the water is newly added, but if you add a tablespoon of water to a pond, you will not notice any change in the water in the pond......"
