Chapter 244, This Water Can't Be Drunk
The old man black is the village chief here, called Ye Dabao, and with an order, almost the whole village mobilized to entertain Li Yu and Ye Hui, especially Ye Hui, everyone respected him very much, and this kind of most simple respect for intellectuals Li Yu had never felt before.
The originally gloomy village was also filled with a hint of joy, but the hot atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.
"When I arrived in Xiangbei, the mission has not yet responded... It seems that they need to be sent home accurately. Li Yu muttered, for the time being, ignore the zombies in Taishanyin, and now look at this desolate village, full of burning and scorching.
Li Yu looked at Ye Dabao, and the panel appeared.
Name: Ye Dabao
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Remarks: The head of the dry village
Li Yu noticed that Ye Dabao's panel was very strange, showing a green and gray color, which was the first time he had seen it.
"Ding, a weekly task. ”
"Heluo Water Town, a green city, drought and poverty, why?"
"Objective: Understand why this area is drought, and solve the problem, with a completion score of 50.70.100"
"Accept/Give. ”
Today happens to be the time for the weekly tasks to refresh.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yu accepted the task.
"Phased reward tasks, three mission stages, triple rewards... I accept. ”
The villagers were also very enthusiastic, and they entertained Li Yu and Ye Hui to the village chief's house, which was no different from others, they were all earthen houses made of yellow clay, which were simple and abnormal.
"Wait a minute, I'll give the gifts I brought to the villagers first..."
Ye Hui smiled, and led everyone to the front of the car, looking at this box of pure water and mineral water, it was as if he had seen gold, and he was excited one by one.
"Water! it's clean water..."
"Take your time, take your time... Don't worry, every household has clean water, good drinking water..."
After getting this pure water, everyone was very satisfied, Li Yu sighed, no wonder the gift is not candy, but clean water, for them this is indeed the most precious gift.
"You... How embarrassing this was, you helped us a lot before, you are a high-level intellectual, you are willing to stay in a place like ours..."Ye Dabao looked at Ye Hui with a tangled expression, and he was grateful and other emotions were mixed.
"It's okay, I've made some money over the years, it's nothing to buy some water for the babies, and this water is not very expensive... I've brought back all the textbooks I ordered, and by the time next month, my children will be able to go to school. Ye Hui smiled, and what he said was an understatement.
Speaking of which, Ye Dabao is going to kneel...
From beginning to end, Ye Hui was giving, and he had no complaints about paying.
When the car came in before, it also passed by the school, the only school in the village, the place where Ye Hui used to teach, and now it is deserted and there are not even a few benches.
It's not that I don't want to go to school, but I really don't even have teachers, and the Hope Primary School in this village can't run at all.
This also shows that Ye Hui is a good person, and he is willing to come back to coach in this situation.
Break through the calamity of the heart, recognize yourself, act from the heart, and seek your own way.
Li Yu really admires this product...
"Come on, come on, you're tired, I'm going to prepare food for you!" Ye Dabao smiled and went to greet his son and daughter-in-law to prepare a meal.
Smoke rises.
Li Yu took Xiao Li Huan on the table.
"This is the status quo of the village, mainly relying on negligible precipitation to obtain domestic water, it is impossible to cultivate anything, only do some manual work to maintain the appearance of life, fortunately, there are also kind handicraft factory owners outside who are willing to come to collect materials, otherwise everyone has to choose one way to leave their hometown..."Ye Hui introduced Li Yu, pointing to the greenhouses that every earthen house has.
These greenhouses are used to divert water, and the water flows to a small pond at the back, which is surrounded by thick adobe walls on all sides to prevent the vapor from evaporating.
If you look at the past, you can see that the water inside is very dirty, and you need to disinfect it with disinfectant before drinking.
"There is a well in the village that produces water, and when I was still here, there was often no water, and now it may be often without water..."
There was a hint of helplessness in Ye Hui's tone, but his expression still looked very optimistic.
"Now that I have a little money, I can buy pure water and send it in the future, at least, so that the children can drink clean water..."
The cooking in the kitchen was in full swing, first the staple food was brought up, it was a kind of baked dough, and Li Yu smelled it here, so he couldn't help but taste it first.
The fragrance of sesame oil and onion and garlic lingers at the corners of the mouth, and it is really fragrant.
But after chewing it, something feels strange...
Ye Hui didn't have anything, and ate happily.
Xiao Li Huan picked up the water cup and began to drink water.
When he drank the first sip of water, Li Huan spit out the water, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered.
"Bah, bah..."
The incident happened suddenly, no one expected this kind of thing to happen, Ye Dabao was even more stunned, and looked embarrassed: "Ah, I'm sorry, it's this water that is hard to drink, I'm sorry, this water is the groundwater in our village, it's really not delicious, I'm sorry..."
Cooking inside, Ye Dabao's daughter-in-law and son also came out to see when they heard the voice, and saw Li Huan hit the cup on the ground all of a sudden, which was not a taste for a while, in this village, the most precious water resources were wasted like this.
Ye Dabao's son also swallowed his saliva, looked at the water stains on the ground, and even wanted to lick it in distress...
Facing all kinds of eyes, Xiao Li Huan said with a stiff neck.
"It's... This... This water.. You can't drink this water!"
"We drink this water every day... Forget it, let's go get mineral water to drink. Ye Dabao waved his hand, although he was a little distressed, but this was the child of the distinguished guest, so it didn't matter.
Li Huan felt the subtle changes in the surrounding atmosphere, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, obviously this water was not drinkable...
Li Yu touched Li Huan's little head, knowing that she was definitely not the kind of person who was willful... of demons.
As dryads, they naturally have the most say in water, which is the source of their life.
"Is this water really undrinkable?"
Li Yu looked at the water in his cup, took it, and sniffed it gently.
First of all, the pungent smell of disinfectant water, the average person will definitely feel sick to their stomach when they smell it, which is certainly not a reason for the little guy to throw away the cup.
Under the mask of the pungent smell of disinfectant, there is a hint of something else.
Li Yu frowned, looked at Ye Dabao and said.
"Village Chief Ye, can you let us go and see the water source in your village?"
