"Just follow it, why do you ask so much?"

Gao Liang shook off coldly, and then continued to walk forward.

Li Chen was beaten for nothing, although he was not very happy in his heart, but when he thought of what Uncle Liwen said, he endured it.

Gao Liang walked in front, Li Chen followed behind, Xiao Huang was happy after a while, and it could be seen that it was very excited.

Walking into the mountains, there are more and more trees, after all, they are some trees that have been many years old, with deep rhizomes, the nutrition of dead leaves and broken branches, and the water mist in the mountains, it seems to be pretty good. However, if you look closely, you can clearly see that there is a significant increase in dead branches and yellow leaves on the trees, which is not what should happen during this season.

Ordinary people can see the problem, but Li Chen naturally sees it more clearly with his special eyesight at this time. It can even be seen that the spirit of these trees is a little aggrieved, and if it is not solved in time, I am afraid that they will all face a catastrophe. This is by no means alarmist, because the drop in the water table, once combined with dry weather, has not been uncommon, and there have been terrible incidents in the capital where all the trees in the entire green corridor of two or three hundred kilometers long have died.

Li Chen, who deeply felt the seriousness of the problem, finally completely put away any of his previous dissatisfaction.

However, this is not a simple matter to find groundwater, although Secretary Liwen said that this Gao Liang studied geological exploration, and even said that the experts who had previously conducted well drilling and exploration in Xishan were stunned, but it was very different from doing it, and Li Chen was very skeptical of this Gao Liang's actual ability.

So, he walked all the way, silently observing Gao Liang all the way.

found that she seemed to be really like that, no, look at this for a while, look at that later, take a picture with a camera, and keep writing something in a notebook, although Li Chen is also a little curious, but he is reluctant to go forward and ask, so as not to touch his head.

I just looked at the place where Gao Liang had seen.

Gradually, he seemed to see some doorways, and found that Gao Liang seemed to be recording the distribution of certain vegetation, and at the same time took a special ruler-like instrument, looked at it from a distance for a long time, and then recorded some data. Although Li Chen didn't know what the data represented, it was clear that she was analyzing something.

"Hey, be careful!"

When he saw that Gao Liang accidentally slipped because he was observing the vegetation on a small slope, Li Chen started as soon as possible and helped Gao Liang up.

A trace of gratitude flashed in Gao Liang's eyes, but he immediately turned his head away, didn't even say thank you, and quickly broke free from Li Chen's support.

Li Chen smiled silently and didn't mind. "I don't understand what you're doing, but if I can help, you can open your mouth and let me do it."

"Not necessarily!"

Gao Liang refused coldly.

"Then give me your backpack so you can take it easy."

"I carry it myself."

"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, after all, it is for our village, and I should contribute."

Seeing Li Chen say this, Gao Liang looked back at her in a little surprise, and there was a look in his eyes: "What's wrong with this kid?" Why did you suddenly rise to consciousness! ". But he still didn't give him the backpack.

Li Chen smiled and didn't say more, but took the initiative to go to the front and open the way for Gao Liang.

After all, it is a mountain road, and the more inside, the mountain has been closed for a long time, there are very few people coming, the road is very difficult to walk, there are often vines and branches blocking the road, tribulus terrestris thorn grass is also very annoying, hanging on the trouser leg, a small spike can penetrate the pants, piercing the skin, although it will not be too deep, but it is also a little painful.

Li Chen took out the stone dagger, although it was very short, it was sharp and tight, and the brush cut off the thistle thorn grass that was in the way.

In addition to the tribulus terrestris grass, the branches of those mountain dates have thorns on them, which are also very prickly. Coupled with the thorn grass, Lala seedling grass, etc., Li Chen cut them together.

Looking at Li Chen, who had finally changed, Gao Liang's surprised face secretly had a subtle smile, and in his eyes looking at Li Chen, it seemed that he was no longer as disgusted as before.

The two of them walked for another hour, and they had already gone deep into the interior of the West Mountain.

From time to time, turtledoves, sparrowhawks, pheasants and other birds chirped and flew up, and a few rabbits jumped by.

shouted unwillingly, which caused Li Chen and Gao Liang to smile in unison, but after the two looked at each other, they both subconsciously put away their laughter.

"Hey, we'll rest under that tree up ahead."

Gao Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to a mountain apricot tree not far away and said to Li Chen.

But she didn't wait for Li Chen to answer, but walked straight over.

Li Chen didn't mind and followed.

It was a mountain apricot tree, and at this time the apricots were long out of season, and there were some shriveled fruits scattered on the ground, and there were not many of them. Many of the branches and leaves that should have been lush have turned yellow at this time. And a lot of leaves have fallen on the ground, and they have withered.

If it weren't known to be due to the groundwater, the tree looked more like it was sick.

Gao Liang walked under the tree, there happened to be a stone, she unloaded the bag, it looked very heavy, she was obviously tired, sat on the rock, took out a water cup from the bag, and drank water while wiping sweat.

Li Chen was secretly amused, and said that the little girl was quite competitive. Walked to the side and sat on the ground, having already made up his mind that he would not ask her himself later, and put her bag on his back.

After Xiao Huang rubbed on the side of the two, he went to the neighborhood to spread joy.

Li Chen wanted to chat with Gao Liang, but when he saw that Gao Liang kept tilting his head at ninety degrees, he didn't say anything in embarrassment.

The two fell silent!

"Hey, didn't you have a spring flowing down a long time ago?"

After more than ten minutes, Gao Liang suddenly asked without a head.

Li Chen came back to his senses and looked left and right, there was no one else, he should be talking to himself. Unsure, he asked, "What do you ask me?" ”

"Nonsense!"

"Ahh Hehe, I also heard that there was indeed a spring on this mountain many years ago, and it flowed into a small river along the road we walked, and it flowed into the big river in the east of the village. ”

Li Chen smiled bitterly and said. "But I did it a long time ago."

"No wonder!"

Gao Liang said softly.

"Oh?"

Li Chen's eyes flashed: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Gao Liang pursed her lips and whispered, "You don't understand!" ”

Li Chen smiled awkwardly, and said in his heart that he really couldn't talk to her well, these words were as hard as a stone, and they hit people. After thinking about it, he simply shut up and ignored her.

After a few more minutes, Gao Liang got up and wanted to continue walking.

Li Chen had already thought about it, got up and snatched Gao Liang's backpack and carried it on his back.

"Hey... You..."

didn't wait for Gao Liang to say anything, Li Chen had already greeted Xiao Huang and went first.

But at this moment, Li Chen suddenly heard an exclamation from Gao Liang behind him.
