Chapter 677: Iron is poison
Chen Jintong stretched out his hand, "I'll borrow your stone for my use." ”
"If the villain's stone can solve everyone's mystery, the villain willingly gives the stone to you." The man respectfully sent the stone over, Chen Jintong held it and tried it, this stone is heavy, close to the farm tools and cooking utensils can be adhered to, proving that it is a real magnet.
"Okay, let's go to the next one." Chen Jintong refocused her attention on the water source and crops, and after arriving at the second one, she checked more carefully, because the process was basically the same as the previous one, so it saved a lot of time, and after inspection, it was found that there were a lot of iron ore in the soil and a lot of particulate matter in the water.
People never eat the lower layer of water, and generally choose to use it to irrigate crops, and as for the soil, it is an indisputable fact that the soil in the vicinity contains a lot of iron.
Of course, iron is a trace element needed by the human body, but excessive intake will be poisoned, and the problem has been solved at this moment.
As night fell, Chen Jintong and the others sat down, opened it and began to brainstorm how to use to filter the water source, and how to dispose of the iron in the soil.
With this in mind, someone suggested opening a sweet water well in the middle of the village, which was larger than the average one, and concentrated cooking, Chen Jintong agreed.
There were a lot of people, everyone sweated like rain for a long time, the well had been dug out, someone provided yarn cotton, Chen Jintong said: "A layer of yarn cotton plus a layer of cleaned sand, you go to the river to clean." At this moment, the people in the village were very idle, and everyone went to the river, took the sand grains, cleaned it and sent it over, and laid it under the well layer by layer according to the method suggested by Chen Jintong.
The top layer is the densest silk. Chen Jintong personally checked it, this filtering equipment can completely screen out the particles, but just this is obviously not enough, Chen Jintong asked people to find quicklime again, according to the previous method to lay layer by layer, to the sixth layer, replaced the charcoal made of teak.
Charcoal has the effect of adsorbing the water source of bacterial evolution, and when all this is done, everyone is exhausted, after opening up the water vein, the water has come out before an hour, Chen Jintong looked at the water source in the well, took out some inspections, and found that the water is different from the previous one in terms of color and transparency, and there has been a qualitative leap.
After all, crops are annual herbaceous plants, and the root system of crops is far less developed than that of trees, so it is only necessary to transport the soil from the back mountain to the front with a flatbed truck, which is a huge matter that will take several months to finish.
Now that everyone knows the specific situation, everyone naturally works together, after the water source problem is solved, everyone no longer has a recurrence of the disease, everyone sees that Chen Jintong has solved the matter once and for all, and they really can't wait to enshrine Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze as golden-bodied Arhats.
As for Chen Jintong, she retired successfully, but smiled.
"According to this king," Dongfang Xuanze has a new suggestion, "After a while, the plague has passed, and you have to migrate to a new place, no matter how difficult it is to leave your homeland, but it is not good to live here for a long time." "Actually, after the spread of the plague, many people were ready to flee their homeland, but the prefect had explicitly forbade them to walk around the village, so everyone had to wait for death in the village.
Everyone also knew that Dongfang Xuanze was an official, and begged him to order the county magistrate to agree to their relocation, Dongfang Xuanze nodded, "I'll talk about this later, and after we prove that your illness is not a plague, things will be easy." ”
The problem of the well and the crops finally came to an end, Chen Jintong was exhausted and turned on the dormant mode, and then as long as the matter was not complicated, Chen Jintong would leave it to the rest of the people to take care of.
Before, He Jiang was preparing to flee every day, but now after learning that the hidden danger in the village was not a "plague", he also stayed to help Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze deal with the problem.
Recently, because he was too tired, Chen Jintong couldn't afford to be sick, seeing that Chen Jintong was sick, Dongfang Xuanze immediately came to serve, the farmers shouted and asked for warmth, Lang Zhong prescribed medicine, and Chen Jintong was well after three days of eating.
But Chen Jintong was first healed, and it was not good to work everywhere, so he could only retreat to the house, and there were farmers who came to deliver food every day, and there were countless chickens, ducks, and fish, as for Dongfang Xuanze, under the leadership of Lang Zhong, everyone went to the back mountain to collect medicine, and Na Lang found that there was a medicinal material that could cure the disease.
The back mountain is a big mountain, there is a lot of food in it, lush and unpredictable, everyone picked a lot of herbs, seeing that the sky is getting dark, everyone found a stone cave to rest.
In the middle of the night, Dongfang Xuanze heard something, like the sound of an iron pickaxe hitting a stone, "He Jiang, listen!" ”
Over the years, He Jiang has been tired of running every day, either avoiding killers or being other people's killers, so he is very vigilant, and he has trained a special skill that can open one eye and close one eye when sleeping.
At this moment, He Jiang also heard the sound of ding dong, and He Jiang jumped up, "Lord Wang, there are people around." ”
The two of them held their breath and went out, it was dark outside, He Jiang pointed to the opposite side, about a hundred or ten meters away, several people were holding iron pickaxes and knocking stones, Dongfang Xuanze had already heard that there were iron mines and factories nearby, but he didn't care, and after finding out that the group of people were not evildoers, he was ready to go back to rest.
But as soon as he turned around and thought of something, he turned back like a bolt of lightning, and found that it was a large group, each of them holding iron pickaxes and magnets in their hands, and carrying iron ore as they went, and there were countless irons in the back mountains.
Dongfang Xuanze pointed to a small hill next to him, and after the two of them went up, they looked condescendingly, Dongfang Xuanze couldn't help but gasp, and in the distance was a group of people lined up, they were searching inch by inch with torches in their hands, and everyone was in full swing.
Someone was striking a stone with a hammer, and the sound of a piece of squirrel could be heard from far and near, and someone was choosing, and the ore was packed in a basket with a hoe, and the basket was very large, and the two fat and strong men lifted the basket away with rattan sticks, one left and one right.
In the hazy night, who wouldn't feel frightened when they suddenly saw such a group of people approaching? They were quite far away from the crowd, and the group of people stopped abruptly not far away.
Then, a group of black-clothed men walked over with their toes held high, and whipped the migrant workers with a horsewhip, "Aren't you going to work soon?" What are you waiting for? The man glared fiercely at the migrant worker who was resting.
"My lord, my lord," the beaten man was already exhausted, and he had a bitter face at the moment, "just let the villain wait for a rest and rest, the villain ate a piece of roasted sweet potato today, and now he has no strength at all." ”
