Seeing the fierce questions and doubts of the villagers, a deep voice soon sounded: "Okay, Boss Gu finally made a special trip to come over today, is there such a hospitality as you?" ”

In fact, this voice was not loud, and it was quickly muffled by other voices, but suddenly many people who spoke stopped, and those in the know all looked in the direction of the voice.

"Old branch secretary, why did you come out?"

"Aren't you sick and not well, the wind and sand outside are too big, let's go back quickly!"

"Uncle Gan......"

“……”

A lean old man slowly walked out of the crowd, in Gu Hongyu's sight, this person's hair was almost all grayish, his criss-crossed face was like the bark of an old tree, his arms trembled with a cane, and he was wearing a military uniform that he didn't know about decades ago.

"Brother Gan, I haven't seen you for a few years!" Just when Gu Hongyu looked at the other party, Uncle Aza greeted him affectionately.

Gan Lao Zhishu broke free of his crutches, and was supported by the villagers next to him and walked towards Uncle Aza at the same time: "I don't spare people for a few months, in fact, the old men of several of our villages have similar wishes in their hearts, but the result is that you are lucky, a God of Wealth descended from the sky, and in less than a year, your Honghu Village has changed!" ”

"Don't say that, Brother Gan, don't you see that the God of Wealth is here today, your village will be fine soon, I dare to pack a ticket!" Uncle Aza was a little excited, this was a situation that he hadn't seen for a long time, and later he heard that the old branch secretary of Gan was also a person who had studied in a private school for a few days before the liberation, and many people younger than him within a radius of ten miles from Qingzhen had studied in his hands.

Gan Lao branch secretary is weak. The condition is not a terminal disease, but it is also very difficult to cure the disease of bronchitis, which basically costs a lot of medical expenses every year, which still relies on the contacts he established before.

People though sick. The prestige of the old branch secretary in Guquan Village is unreplaceable, and many villagers have chosen him unanimously when electing the village leader over the years.

When Gu Hongyu finished looking at Old Man Gan, the other party's cloudy eyes also stared at him, and he said with emotion: "This is the little Gu boss who changed Honghu Village, he is really young and promising, and his future is limitless!" ”

Gu Hongyu responded with a smile: "Old branch secretary Gan, how can it be as good as you say, today we came to disturb your Qing Xiu!" ”

Waving his trembling hands, Gan Lao Zhishu said vigorously: "Don't disturb ......." Don't bother, it's too late for us to welcome! ”

Then he said to Uncle Azha: "We don't want to stand outside, let's all go into the village, the situation in our village is actually clear at a glance, and I don't know if Boss Gu can change the status quo in the village?" ”

"Brother Gan, you can put a hundred hearts, I thought I had the same idea with you now, but you saw it. There are a lot of things that don't need to be done at all, and now I'm thinking back to what you just said. Fortunately, our village has a small Gu boss! Uncle Aza relieved Old Man Gan's heart.

"That's good, that's good!"

Surrounded by a group of villagers, Old Man Gan, Uncle Azha, and Gu Hongyu walked in front of everyone and walked towards the innermost courtyard of the village.

But before leaving, Gu Hongyu said a few words to Gan Yuanpei and then threw the car keys into his hand, and soon Gan Yuanpei found a few men to follow him in the opposite direction.

Gu Hongyu followed Old Man Gan's instructions into a small courtyard. There are also a few trees in this small courtyard that are rare in this village, and the same two banyan trees grow much more miserable than the one at the entrance of the village, and the leaves on many branches do not look turquoise, but the yellow-green leaves look like malnutrition.

"Little Gu. This is Brother Gan's home, aren't you interested in the ancient well in Guquan Village, which is in this small courtyard. At this time, Uncle Aza's explanation sounded in Gu Hongyu's ears.

It turned out that this was the case, Gu Hongyu suddenly understood.

The four eyes looked towards the small courtyard, and soon Gu Hongyu's eyes were locked on the ground between the two banyan trees, and the reason why he didn't find it directly was because this well was no longer usable, and there was no trace of human action on the side of the well platform.

I came here for this ancient spring well, and Gu Hongyu walked towards the well with a confession from everyone.

When Gu Hongyu got closer, he found that the well in front of him was really not small, a circle of wellheads made of bluestone, the middle part of the bluestone was knocked out, and the round wellhead was polished very smooth, and at a glance, he knew that it was used very frequently.

Not far from the mouth of the well, there is a more low-lying place, where a large pit is formed near the courtyard wall, and there are several pieces of the same bluestone stone on the edge of the pit, which are also very smooth above the bluestone, and it is obvious that this puddle may have been a village common laundry place.

However, at the moment, the water level in the pit is very low, and the water quality is still showing a dark green color, and it looks like stagnant water that has not been touched for a long time.

Picking up the broken wooden scoop on the side of the well, Gu Hongyu picked up a scoop of well water from the well, there is not much well water in the scoop but it is still dark green, and there seem to be some impurities floating in the water, which makes people look disgusting.

"The water from this spring well was not like this before, I still remember when we were children, the water in this spring well was scooped up and drunk directly as long as adults and children were thirsty, and the taste of the spring water was as sweet as if honey was put in it, but after I became an adult, the well water was not so sweet at first, and then there was this dark green thing in it, and experts also came here to inspect and test, I heard that this is a kind of algae, and the change in water quality is due to the overgrowth of this algae."

"The experts explained the reasons clearly, but when they asked them to find a solution to our drinking water problem, they couldn't find a solution, and in the end it was still unsuccessful, which caused hundreds of people in our village." This matter was accompanied by the voice of the old man Gan, so when he was telling, the feelings had been fluctuating up and down, from the sweet excitement of the ancient spring well to the depression after the spring water deteriorated, these Gu Hongyu all saw it in his eyes.

In such a harsh natural environment like the northwest, where there is no water resources, there is almost no village survival, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, when there is no reliance or dependence disappears, everyone directly faces the cruel nature, and the hope of survival becomes slim.

Just like the nomads, they have to move and move again throughout the year in order to balance the cattle and sheep and the pasture......

But the Chinese people who have settled down still have such a traditional concept, that is, the homeland is difficult to leave.

Gu Hongyu's tricky thing is how this well water is formed like this...... (To be continued......)
