027 Poisoned Water and Wasteland

"Excuse me, anyone?"

The two discussed it and decided that Zhao Xin still knocked on the door, after all, she was a little girl, and she looked more affinable than Bai Ge, whether it was down to eight years old or up to eighty years old, men and women were less protective of her.

"Who?"

A woman in a white dress with a blue background poked her head out, still holding a few green vegetables in her hands.

"Sister, we are here for a tour, we want to climb the mountain, we just came down from the mountain, can I ask you for some water?"

After asking Jiang Wanlu, she complained in her heart, it is really an ancient way of inquiry, Journey to the West was forced to read it many times when she was a child, except for the sentence "Senior brother, second senior brother, the master let the monster be arrested" is "The four of us master and apprentice came to the West from the Tang Dynasty to learn scriptures, can we make some food or ask for a bowl of water to drink".

As for why it was forced, because it was going to be broadcast as soon as the winter and summer vacations were released, there were no other good-looking TV programs at all.

Although the reason is old-fashioned, it is very practical, the woman looked at them twice, with a little guard, Jiang Wanlu hurriedly showed what she thought was the brightest smile, and secretly pulled off the white boat, telling him not to be so serious.

Bai Ge glared at her, still trying to adjust his facial expression, but unfortunately the expression looked strange.

Jiang Wanlu covered her face, you should change to a poker face quickly!

Maybe it was Jiang Wanlu's smile that infected her, or maybe Bai Ge was still a handsome guy despite his strange expression, and his sister nodded and let them into the house.

The houses here are all made of stone, and there are some dry firewood and farm tools piled up in the yard, and after taking two steps, suddenly a little milk dog pops out of the small corner, and barks at them.

"Xiaobai!"

The woman scolded, took a wooden stick and made a gesture to hit it, but the little white dog hurried two steps and continued to bark at them.

"This dog is like this, don't be afraid, it will bark and dare not bite. She smiled apologetically.

Jiang Wanlu looked at the puppy, and then at the white gee, back and forth twice, covering her mouth and shoulders trembling slightly and snickering.

Bai Ge pressed her strangely, and suddenly understood what she was laughing at, and actually laughed at him for being a puppy!

Do you remember who your boss is?

He rolled up his sleeves, but the woman in the house had already brought out two bowls of water, so he had to press them down and teach her a lesson when he returned.

The woman's eyes were still defensive, even though the two of them did not enter the house, but just stood in the courtyard.

Jiang Wanlu took the bowl, since it was not like saying that she wanted water and didn't drink it, she touched the edge of the bowl, it was still warm.

I thought of the pungent smell of the river on the mountain, and I was a little hesitant.

After taking the water, Bai Ge lowered his head and drank it without saying anything.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Wanlu also lowered his head to drink, but was stopped by him.

"Didn't you say you're not thirsty, give me a drink. ”

As he spoke, he reached over and took the bowl in her hand.

Jiang Wanlu's face changed slightly, and she understood what he meant, but what if there was really something wrong with the water, what if something happened to Bai Ge here?

She held the bowl and refused to give it, but she smiled and said, "You have drunk a bowl, you were not thirsty just now, but I am thirsty now." ”

Bai Ge cast a disapproving look, and the two were fighting in private, but the woman next to him laughed "poof".

"Are you lovers out of town so fun, we don't have anything else here, there is a lot of water, I'll just go and serve another bowl." ”

As he spoke, he walked away with the bowl he had just put down.

Waiting for the people to go in, Jiang Wanlu finally became a little anxious, "Bai Gong, why did you really drink it, can you spit it out, or I will give you a buckle in your throat?"

She stretched out a finger and bent it, this hand had touched the dirt before, touched the blades of grass, and touched a lot of things, uh, anyway, with the cleanliness of the white boat, it was definitely not clean.

Bai Ge waved his hand, the account just now has not been settled, and here again?

"It's okay, even if there is a problem with one or two bowls, it won't get in the way, but you better don't drink it, be obedient. ”

Afraid that the woman would hear it, the two of them were relatively close, and they spoke quietly, and finally even a word floated and floated, floating into Jiang Wanlu's ears, the roots of her ears were slightly red, and when she heard the woman's ambiguous laughter, she hurriedly took a few steps back and separated.

"Thank you. ”

Bai Ge took the bowl of water again, but did not drink it immediately, and looked twice in the courtyard.

"Sister, do you live alone?"

There seem to be three rooms in this house, and there are also men's clothes drying in the yard, so it seems that he is definitely not alone.

Maybe it was the previous events that dispelled her doubts a little, and finally showed a little smile.

"And my man and my child. ”

"You have children!" Jiang Wanlu said in surprise.

"yes, they're six years old. ”

"It's so big, but sister, you look so young, you don't look like it at all. ”

Sweet words work everywhere, the woman smiled happily and said, "How can there be", and Jiang Wanlu's praise is actually serious, but I don't know that in the small village here, the marriage is early or the green mountains and green waters raise people.

It's just that if there is poisonous water in the village, it can only harm people.

Girls chatted with girls, and it was easy to get acquainted with each other after chatting a few more words, plus Jiang Wanlu praised her a few words, specifically looking for her favorite topic, it was even more harmonious, the woman didn't even notice that the two of them didn't drink water anymore, and Bai Ge even poured water while she wasn't paying attention.

"Grandma, grandma!"

There was a child's shout outside the courtyard gate, and soon a mud monkey ran in, and the white dog that was lying on his stomach at the base of the wall rushed out again, and the mud monkey boy immediately hugged the puppy and made a lot of mud on it.

"Why did you get your clothes dirty again. ”

The woman hurried over to help the child up, her tone was slightly reproachful, but her eyes were full of maternal love, which seemed to be her child.

Seeing an outsider, the little boy looked over curiously, and suddenly let out an "ah".

"Aren't you brothers and sisters who quarreled at the entrance of the village?"

When the woman looked over, Jiang Wanlu and Bai Ge glanced at each other, and suddenly remembered that there were a few children running over at that time, and one of them hit her.

Jiang Wanlu blinked and snorted, but her face was a little shy, "It turns out that you are one of those children, yes, this big brother, he had to dry him to teach him a lesson in the annoying things before, or he thought that the earth would not turn away from him!"

The woman laughed again and said that they had a good relationship, and took the child into the house to change clothes first.

Bai Ge leaned over, "I annoyed you and taught me a lesson?"

"Cough," Jiang Wanlu coughed dryly, "Didn't I dispel her concerns, the interaction between the male and female protagonists on the TV series is like this, by the way, Bai Gong, do you think this village is a little weird?"

Although it is a change of topic, she does have doubts in this regard.

Seeing that Bai Ge didn't understand, he looked into the house, but the woman hadn't come out yet, so he continued.

"This small village is backed by the mountains, as the saying goes, the mountains eat the mountains, I have roughly looked at the yards of several houses before, there are many farmers who raise chickens and ducks, and there are some abandoned farm tools in the yard, and at the foot of the mountain I also met a person who picks mushrooms with a basket on his back, which shows that the people in this village basically rely on farming to support themselves, but do you see the ground?"

Bai Ge thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Actually, there is still land, you see that the other side has planted some vegetables in the yard, and there is actually land on the mountain, but you didn't find it, because it has become a wasteland. ”

Jiang Wanlu has been to the picking garden, people not only grow fruits and vegetables, they can pick, the field will be divided into small pieces, there are slightly high ridges, when she was on the mountain, she squatted down to tie her shoes just to find it, and there are a few fragments of corn growing in it.

Perhaps due to the topography, the distribution of those corns is fragmented, indicating that in the past, when farming, people even planted on gentle slopes.

But if the fields are deserted, what do they rely on to make money, this is not a tourist area, even if the occasional tourists come to play, they are all adventure travelers, most of the previous long and difficult dirt road made many people give up.

"I think ......"

Jiang Wanlu was about to continue, but Bai Ge suddenly grabbed her, "What you said is right, don't be angry if I'm wrong." ”

The unusually gentle tone made Jiang Wanlu a little disgusted, but he immediately understood the meaning in his eyes, and continued to say the words.

"It's good to know that it's wrong, if there is a next time, you will kneel on the keyboard and kneel on the durian when you go back!"

I said in my heart: Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, how dare you kneel, you are the group pet of Qingyuan Technology, my boss, I really punish you for our little life!

The woman who pulled her son out with a change of clothes laughed, "You outsiders are really fun, your boyfriend looks very scary, it turns out that he loves you so much that he is willing to kneel on durian." ”

Jiang Wanlu laughed twice, begging the eldest sister to stop talking, someone's eyes are going to put her clothes out of the hole.

"Sister, the water here is so sweet, by the way, when we walked around the mountain, it seemed to smell a very pungent smell, he didn't say that I smelled wrong, and he was anxious with me, sister, which of us is right?"

The smile on the face of the woman who had let down her guard against them froze, and her eyes were a little evasive.

"Well, I haven't smelled it anyway, so it's your boyfriend's right. ”

There's definitely something going on here.

In fact, seeing the pollution of the stream, the two of them had a guess, it must be the discharge of domestic garbage or sewage, and the former is nothing, not to mention the depths of this mountain, even in the countryside in other places.

But if it's the latter, and they still drink it, do they know the consequences?

The two were silent, and an elderly man staggered outside the courtyard, standing at the door and shouting.

"Manshan daughter-in-law, are you okay, who are these two people?"

The old man's hands holding on to crutches were like dry old bark, and his face was full of old age spots, but his cloudy eyes were very energetic.

"Uncle, these are two strangers who have come here to travel, begging for water to drink, why are you here, come into the house. ”

In the face of the same villagers, the women are much more enthusiastic.

The old man finally retracted his gaze that fell on them, and waved his hand, "I won't go in if I have nothing to do, it's not that Xiaohuzi is coughing again, I want to ask if you have any medicine for cough at home." ”

When the woman heard this, she was a little anxious and asked with concern, "Why are you coughing again, wasn't it better last time?"

"I don't know, even if it's a cough, there's nothing else, don't talk about children in our village, adults also have coughs, it should be that I've had a cold every day in the past two days, you lend me some medicine and I'll give you money." ”

The woman hurriedly refused, "What kind of money is not money, it is still a little, and it is also the leftover from the monkey in my family's skin, Ah Bo will take it, and put it away." ”

After she finished speaking, she went to find medicine, Jiang Wanlu looked at the child who was squatting on the ground and playing with the dog, and coughed twice from time to time, it shouldn't be what she thought.
