Yunxi is a small mountain town located in the southeast of Qianzhou, Yang Bo followed Yuwen here, but he was taken aback, this place is really poor!

There was only one mill, a grocery store, a butcher's shop, and a shop selling fabrics and clothes, and there were no other shops, and the best building was the two-story building of the town hall.

On the second day when Yang Bo and Yuwen arrived in the town, they followed a fellow villager's donkey cart to a remote mountain village.

Yang Bo used to think that the southwest region had abundant rainfall and there should be no shortage of water, but there are always some places where there is no water source.

For more than ten days, Yang Bo and the others have helped four villages find water sources, and the two of them have hardly stopped to rush to the next mountain village.

When I arrived at the last Yinfang Village, half a month had passed.

As soon as Yang Bo and the two walked into Yinfang Village, they were warmly welcomed by the villagers, and the matter of the two of them looking for water for everyone during this time had already spread, and every time they found water, they would leave thousands of pieces to dig wells.

The village chief cloth took out the best wine and meat in the family and warmly entertained Yang Bo and the two.

On this occasion, Yuwen rarely spoke, so it was usually Yang Bo who dealt with it, and he chatted with the village chief Busuo while talking about the layout of the village, wanting to find a place to dig a well as soon as possible.

The cloth is a Tujia family, and they don't speak Mandarin well, so there are some obstacles to communication between the two sides.

"Bran!" exclaimed.

"Hey!" came a crisp response, and a short time later, a young girl in her early twenties walked in.

The woman was dressed in a blue Tujia dress, with pink flowers on her right sideburns, her face was slightly dark, but her appearance was extremely pretty, she held a large bowl in her hand, which contained hare meat, she put the bowl on the table, and looked at the cloth.

As soon as Busuo saw his daughter, he showed a thick proud smile on his face, "This is my daughter Bran, she is in college in Guizhou, I don't speak Mandarin well, you can ask her!"

Yang Bo smiled, "Okay, it's even better if you go to college!"

After that, Yang Bo looked at Bran, "I have some questions for you, has there been a spring on the mountain on your side, and which side has more abundant vegetation?"

Bran turned his head to stare at Yang Bo, then at Yuwen, looking the two up and down, but he turned his head to look at Busuo, "Dad, I will definitely be able to help dig a good well in the village in the future, they are all liars!"

"Bran, what nonsense are you talking about, don't you apologize to the two gentlemen!" slammed the table and scolded.

"Dad, I'm a geology student, how can anyone prospect without tools? Can they find water with a compass?" Bran retorted.

The cloth stood up angrily, "You get me out!"

Bran didn't look back, and walked straight out.

Yang Bo had no choice but to persuade: "Don't be angry, the child is still young after all!"

Despite Bran's prejudice against them, the rest of the village enthusiastically showed them the way.

I don't know who Yuwen came from, he and Yang Bo went around for two days, staying in a valley, but they stopped all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" Yang Bo asked, according to his observations, every time Yuwen stayed for a long time, it usually meant that he had found a water source!

Yuwen stuck the wooden staff in his hand into the dirt and said to Yang Bo: "You dig a few times here!"

Yang Bo didn't care, and dug with a shovel.

After digging a few times, there is no change in the soil, slightly reddish soil, which is the characteristic here, different from the fertility of the black soil, the red soil is more saline, and the soil is poor.

"Click!"

The shovel suddenly dug up the stone, Yang Bo didn't care, changed the angle, and soon dug out the fist-sized stone!

Yang Bo was about to dig deeper, Yuwen suddenly picked up the stone and rubbed it with his hand, which was very strange.

Yang Bo was stunned suddenly, he stared at the ore with a pale red diamond luster in the sun, "This is the ore!"

Yuwen nodded, "It should be an ore!"

Yang Bo didn't know the characteristics of this ore, so he didn't care about it, and put it in his backpack casually.

After a whole morning, neither of them could find a source of water, so they had to turn back.

At noon, Yang Bo ate at Busuo's house, and ate at Busuo's house for two days in a row, killing a chicken at every meal, and at noon there was no chicken, only an egg.

The cloth was a little embarrassed, "Coarse tea and light rice, the conditions are simple, don't be surprised by the two of you!"

Yang Bo waved his hand, "The village chief of Busuo is polite, we have been here for two days, and we have not gained anything, so we are disappointed, we should not accompany us!"

"Don't be polite, Yinfang Village has not been connected to water since ancient times, and other villages have had springs, only Yinfang Village has been in drought, and only there is a river five miles outside the village. "Busho said.

Yang Bo hesitated, "There is a sentence that I have always wanted to ask the village chief of Busuo, obviously there is a river flowing five miles away, why is Yinfang Village still built here?"

"We have lived here for generations, and I don't know why our ancestors chose this place. ”

Yang Bo nodded slightly, "There is another question, what is the origin of the name of Yinfang Village?"

"Oh, legend has it that a long time ago, every household in Yinfang Village made silver jewelry, and at that time, the village was rich, and hired people from outside the village to fetch water from outside the village, which may also be the reason why Yinfang Village was located here!"

Yang Bo looked towards Yuwen, and he took out the pale red ore and put it on the table.

"Pale red silver ore, how do you have such a thing?"

An exclamation came, and it was Bran who walked in with a plate of wild vegetables, and she stared at the ore on the table, her apricot eyes wide!

Yang Bo was a little surprised, "Silver ore?"

Bran put down the plate, picked up the ore and looked at it, nodding, "Where did you find this?"

Yang Bo hesitated slightly, he looked at Yuwen and didn't say much.

The discovery of silver ore here means that there may be silver mines nearby, and the name of Yinfang Village is probably able to understand the connection, but the discovery of silver ore is not a good thing for the village, you must know that silver mines cannot be mined privately, even if they can be mined, do the villagers of Yinfang Village have capital technology?

Bran looked at Yang Bo, "Yinfang Village is too poor, and it needs silver mines to get rid of poverty!"

Yang Bo hesitated slightly, and shook his head firmly, "This is not a good thing for Yinfang Village!"

"Where's the silver ore?"

There was a loud shout, and as soon as the door was dark, I saw a strong man walking in!

The man is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body, fancy clothes, and a smile on his vicious face, but he looks even more evil!
