The old man sighed silently, and the dim candlelight shone on his face full of vicissitudes.

"It's not that I don't want to go, my family has lived here for generations, not to mention that I am also a person who has buried most of the loess, I really don't want to toss, I just want to be able to guard this land after I die." After the old man finished speaking, the tears in his eyes also flowed down the dry wrinkles on his face.

Gu Qi looked at it and trembled in his heart, stepped forward to hold the old man's dry hand, "Uncle, I'll help you find a way." ”

"You?" The old man raised his eyes, looked at the little girl in front of him suspiciously, and then shook his head: "Girl, forget it, no matter how many people have tried, you should go tomorrow in the morning, don't delay your efforts here in vain." ”

The corners of Gu Qi's lips were slightly raised, and her round little face was confident: "Uncle, you just let us try it, what if this succeeds?" ”

Seeing the confident look in the little girl's eyes, the old man didn't say anything, beckoned the little grandson to arrange the few of them in the room where his son and daughter-in-law lived before, and went back to the house to rest with his hands behind his back.

It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, it's that there are so many failures that he can't believe it.

Seeing the old man leave, Gu Qi asked his little grandson a few more words, and then called everyone together: "How about it, do you see a drama about this matter in Shahe Town?" ”

"I don't know." Qingquan finally took up the hat that stayed on his head, revealing his face that was alluring to the country and the city, Duanmu Jiya's attention was immediately attracted, I thought that the zongzi was even a dragon and phoenix among people, but when I saw this Qingquan, I found that there was still such a stunning color in the world.

Noticing someone's burning eyes, Qingquan glanced at her coldly, and continued: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Qiqi If you really want to crack the matter of not growing crops in Shahe County, it's best to go to the field tomorrow to take a look, not to mention ......"

Qingquan glanced at everyone: "Everyone here is not an idle person, presumably everyone will contribute, right?" After that, he also deliberately glanced at the direction of the zongzi, which seemed to mean something.

"That's that, how can we all have to do it, don't we?" Ge Hong looked at everyone with a smile, and he knew that there would be a lot of fun things to happen with this girl, which was much more interesting than seeing a doctor and taking medicine every day in the hospital.

"I'm going too." Xuan'er saw that everyone was talking about the excitement, and hurriedly pulled the corner of Gu Qi's clothes: "Xuan'er is also going, and Xuan'er is also going to help grandpa." ”

"Okay, our Xuan'er is the most well-behaved." Gu Qi touched Xuan'er's head and turned her gaze to everyone: "Then we will go together tomorrow, and let us break the curse of Shahe County together!" ”

Her eyes were shining, and her face was full of a confident smile.

Curse? She wanted to see what kind of gods would curse the toiling people!

The night is quiet, and there is nothing to say in one or the night.

Early the next morning, Gu Qi and the others hastily ate a few mouthfuls of dry cakes and water, and then walked towards the cultivation area in the northeast of Shahe Town guided by the old man, which was the first place where strange things appeared, and some problems should be found from there.

After walking for about an hour, a large red land appeared in front of them.

The soil turned out to be red, and it was the color of blood red, and from a distance it looked like the earth was bleeding.

In her impression, most of the red soil is in the tropics, where the soil is rich in iron, mostly acidic, and clayey, and it is indeed not easy to survive crops.

But Gu Qi looked up at the cloudless blue sky above his head, it didn't seem like a rainy climate here, so where did the iron in this soil come from?

"Qingquan, can you see if there are any other places here that are different?"

Looking at the place around here, it seems to be a plain, and there are no peaks and hills, so I can't figure out why the soil here is so red.

"I'm with Qingquan." Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, Gu Qi looked at the owner of the voice, Duanmu Jiya hugged Qingquan's arm, and her face was full of impatience.

Ever since she saw Qingquan last night, she had been trying to cling to Qingquan by all means, so much so that now she arranged for Qingquan to check the surrounding terrain, and she would follow.

"Take your hand off me." Qingquan glared coldly at the hand that stuck to his arm, he hated the touch of others the most, and now this guy is still sticking to it.

"Brother Qingquan-" Duanmu Jiya howled aggrievedly, trying in vain to arouse Qingquan's pity, but she didn't understand that in the face of a person like Qingquan, only those who admired him could be respected.

"I repeat, fuck me off, or ...... Don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Qingquan's face was already gloomy, if this brainless princess was still disobedient, then ......

Looking at the frost-like Junyan in Qingquan, Gu Qi also shivered coldly. Zongzi once told him that this person is unfathomable, but looking at his appearance now, he does have a back hand.

Duanmu Jiya was also stunned by the gloomy look on his face, and hurriedly fled from Qingquan's side, looking at him with some scorn.

Gu Qi ignored her, just continued to inspect the red soil under his feet, and instructed Brother Ge to let him test the soil for other toxic substances.

Although this Shahe County is not an important place in Gyeonggi, it is not excluded that there will be some human factors, she is now trying her best not to let go of a detail, to find out the problems that have plagued Shahe County for many years, she has an intuition, this trip is not for no reason, maybe there is really a master in the dark.

"Sister Gu, let's drink some water, right?" The old man's grandson walked towards them tremblingly carrying a large jar of water, and when Gu Qi saw it, he hurriedly ran over and took the jug in his hand.

"Why are you here? What about your grandfather? Gu Qi asked.

After yesterday's events, the little ones are now very enthusiastic about them, and even their faces have been filled with warm smiles.

"Grandpa asked me to bring water, and he said that he was afraid that a few of you would be thirsty, so let me go and fetch some ice water for you to drink, you will taste the sweetness of this water."

Gu Qi and the others couldn't stand the enthusiasm of this kid, so they all came over one after another, and each took a bowl of water to drink, but they didn't expect that this water was really sweet and cold, and it immediately relieved the heat in their bodies in this slightly hot summer.

"Good boy, let me ask you, where did you get this water?" Gu Qi smiled and pinched the kid's face.

"This water, but it is unique to our Shahe County, is that we took it from an underground cave, where the water is at a constant temperature all year round, and many people like to drink the water there."

"Oh? If this water is so good, can you take your sister to see it? ”
