When she saw the small village in the shade of the woods at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Wanlu felt that it was really not easy.

Looking down, there was a thick layer of mud on the soles of the shoes, and even some of the uppers were on them, so it was no wonder that the footsteps were getting heavier and heavier.

Quietly turned around, and found that Bai Ge had picked up a wooden stick at some point, and was slightly disgusted with the mud on the soles of his feet, and his appearance was always refreshing and refreshing, which should be unbearable enough for patients with cleanliness.

Jiang Wanlu was still a little unbearable in the end, and when she felt that there was still a packet of paper left in her bag, she wanted to give it to him, but suddenly four or five children ran out of the village and were almost knocked down.

The little boy headed by him couldn't stand the reaction, and sat on the ground with a snap, and didn't cry, but he was a little stunned, and several other friends kept making embarrassing gestures to him, so angry that the little boy stood up with his hands on the ground, patted his ass casually, and ran away after him.

"Give you paper. ”

Seeing that Bai Ge accidentally got mud spots on his hands, she walked over and handed the tissue to him, but her face turned to the other side to look at the ground, still angry.

Bai Ge glanced at her twice, and the corners of his lips suddenly showed a little curvature, and then quickly pressed down.

Feeling a warmth in his hand, and then a lightness, it was he who touched her fingers when he took the tissue, Jiang Wanlu hurriedly retracted, looked at the time on the phone, it should be no problem to climb a mountain and come down, stiffened his body, and continued to walk up the mountain as if nothing had happened.

There seemed to be thirty or forty households in the village at the foot of the mountain, and there were old people who were slightly bent over, and from time to time they sprinkled a handful of unknown grain into the yard, and the chickens followed the hens with their heads down and pecked at them.

Occasionally, people from the village passed by and saw the two of them dressed as strangers, and most of them gave them a kind smile.

Jiang Wanlu soon passed through the village, from the foot of the mountain faintly a few villagers stepped out of the path, there is no specially paved bluestone slab in the scenic spot, it is completely a dirt road, the wild grass next to it grows wildly, and there is no taste of artificial carving.

To say something that seems to be very uninformed, cough, no, she has no knowledge, and Jiang Wanlu, who lives in the mainland, also saw the mountain like this for the first time when she arrived in Yunjiang.

I also took the ropeway to the top of the mountain a few days ago, but now I can feel the difference between the two sides.

Jiang Wanlu raised her mobile phone, she didn't walk very fast, but she was very relieved to take pictures while walking, because she could hear the footsteps and knew that Bai Ge was behind her.

People here love to eat mushrooms, and when it rains, you can often see one or two delicate little mushrooms among the grass on the mountain, but she doesn't dare to pick them, and she doesn't know them, what if they are poisonous?

"Ahh

Bai Ge was afraid that Jiang Wanlu was still angry, so he had to follow not far away, frowning and carefully avoiding the small mud puddle on the ground, suddenly hearing her scream, his heartbeat suddenly beat a few beats faster, and he didn't care about any mud puddles or mud puddles, and hurriedly ran forward.

Seeing Jiang Wanlu's body standing there stiffly, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her over, and found that there was no wound from top to bottom.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Ge was in such a hurry, and she was a little embarrassed to recover from it.

"No, in fact, I suddenly saw something running over, like a snake. ”

She took a step back, the place where the white boat touched her shoulder was burning, and she had told herself many times in her heart not to be confused by the tenderness in front of her, but the brain always couldn't control the heart and feelings.

Bai Ge was also a little uncomfortable, coughing and reaching out to pull the blade of grass next to him.

I was too excited before, and as soon as I stopped, Jiang Wanlu felt that my feet and neck were very itchy, and I lowered my head to look at it, but I didn't see anything.

In order to climb the mountain, she specially wore sneakers and long pants, but there was still grass touching her skin from time to time, and the back of her hand was a little itchy.

Jiang Wanlu scratched twice, but the more she scratched, the more itchy she became, and she soon became red.

"I'm almost ready to go down the mountain, do you want to keep climbing?"

Bai Ge had come with her, but of course she didn't want to, so she shook her head.

Jiang Wanlu then crossed him and prepared to go down the mountain, remembering that there was a fork in the road not far ahead, connecting to another path, and wanted to go another way, but he was grabbed by him as soon as he crossed the white boat.

In an instant, the surrounding birdsong was quiet.

Her hands were already itchy, and the sensitive skin was close to the slightly damp sweat, which immediately had a chain reaction.

"You ......"

As soon as he said a word, Bai Ge let go of his hand.

After a pause for a while, maybe a few minutes or just a dozen seconds, seeing that he didn't speak, he was inexplicable, and he didn't understand what it meant, Jiang Wanlu had no choice but to walk over.

The re-selected road is wider, and there are more shoe prints on the ground, as if there are many people walking on it, but both of them are so confused that they don't notice these at all, and even if they do, they will only think that the villagers like to walk this way.

After walking for a long time, there was a faint sound of flowing water in his ears, Jiang Wanlu felt strange, looked at the time and location, they did not arrive at the foot of the mountain as scheduled, stood on tiptoe and looked, only to see that the village that could be seen was still some distance away from them.

It seems to be on the wrong track.

She stopped, looking at White, a little annoyed.

"White worker, we seem to have gone wrong. ”

Bai Ge walked over, looked around, and had to admit that she was right.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't seem to be very outrageous, let's go again, if someone walks this road, you will definitely be able to go down the mountain, maybe it's just a long detour. ”

He frowned slightly, his mind was too chaotic just now to pay attention, otherwise he might not have made such a mistake.

Jiang Wanlu was a little relieved, and she didn't dare to walk around casually, her sense of direction was actually very ordinary, especially when there was no navigation in this place.

Bai Ge automatically took on the task of finding a way out, and he was in front of him, but the people behind him were often not safe, and after taking two steps, he reached out again and grabbed her hand.

"White worker, why do you want to take advantage of me again, what, I signed a work contract not a deed of sale!"

She tried to distort the facts again, and fooled the previous confusion as if she was joking, Jiang Wanlu always has this ability to make wisdom out of a hurry, of course, what the result is, it can't be controlled.

Bai Ge was amused by her and wanted to laugh, how could he use this nonsense so skillfully, but he didn't need to use it in other ways?

"Holding hands is even if you take advantage of it, then your advantage is really good, don't make trouble, I'm afraid that if you walk behind, I can't know immediately if something happens, it's better to be careful in the mountains." ”

The road is still relatively narrow, there is no way to walk side by side, Bai Ge led her to continue to move forward, as long as Jiang Wanlu looked forward, she would inevitably see that figure, she bit her lip, and her expression was worried that could not be hidden.

The sound of the stream in his ears suddenly expanded, and Bai Ge suddenly stopped, Jiang Wanlu had to turn sideways and look through the gap, only to see that the road ahead was blocked by a stream.

"How can there be a river?"

She muttered softly, it is not strange that there is a river in the mountains, she was surprised that the river blocked the way, this road is wrong?

Jiang Wanlu couldn't see it, but Bai Ge frowned, suddenly walked to the river, squatted, put the water under his nose and sniffed it, then hurriedly loosened his fingers to let them fall, and shook his hand.

"Hmm, day worker, does it smell like that?"

She suddenly covered her nose and let go of her hand to smell it again, the smell in the air was strange, maybe it wasn't quite right before, but it was especially strong on this side of the river.

It's a sour smell.

Jiang Wanlu followed Bai Ge's gaze and looked at the river, although the river water is not as clear as the Blue Lake, but the water quality is okay, of course, this thing can not be seen with just eyes, this sour smell is a bit like a chemical always gives people a bad feeling.

"This water ......"

Shira looked left and right, fumbled in her pocket, only had some toilet paper left, and finally looked at her backpack.

"Do you have a container for water in your bag?"

Reacting to what he was going to do, Jiang Wanlu hurriedly rummaged through the bag, and really found a small makeup bottle, and there was half a bottle of toner in it.

"Well, it's just that there's stuff here. ”

If it doesn't work, it's okay, make do.

Bai Ge took it, poured the toner on the ground, carefully filled it and buckled the lid, looked at the small bottle and suddenly shook his head, and secretly said that he was really suffering from an occupational disease.

They are going to leave here in the middle of the night and return to Kitahara City, even if there is a problem with the water, what can they do?

However, he still handed it to Jiang Wanlu and asked her to put it in her bag, to see that it was not too late, and groaned.

"I have something I want to confirm, after going down the mountain in a moment, can you go to the village with me to have a look?"

Some people may think that he is nosy, or has a strong sense of justice and acts as a bad person, but when he thinks of his mother's death six years ago, he still wants to do something as much as possible.

Although the river under his feet looks fine at the moment, he can be sure that there is definitely a problem, if it just flows quietly in the mountains, it is not a big problem, but if it is used as drinking water by the villagers...... He didn't want and couldn't watch what happened six years ago repeat itself.

Seeing that Bai Ge's expression was very serious, Jiang Wanlu also realized that something was wrong, of course she nodded, and instantly switched to the role of a little assistant, what emotions are tangled, they are all thrown aside for the time being, and she can't sort out those things in the first place, maybe when she returns to Beiyuan and her work is on the right track, these things that are temporarily off the rails will be forgotten.

The two of them didn't delay any longer, and their steps quickened a little, since this road could not be passed, they could only return, and it took some effort to finally find the previous one.

It's just that Bai Ge's speed is too fast, and it is very laborious for her to follow, and her face as black as the bottom of the pot makes her dare not ask to slow down, so she has to shut up and insist, and she didn't say a word even when her ankle was entangled in some plant.

Finally walked to the foot of the mountain and saw the shadow of the village, Jiang Wanlu took a breath, adjusting her breathing to make herself look less embarrassed, the two of them also let go of their hands, and hurriedly followed Bai Ge to pick a random house and walked over looking like someone was there.
