Chapter 1188: Hard Water

With the help of the local official staff and the help of the reconnaissance team, everyone drove to the side of National Highway 413, where the stockade was in the mountains, and there was no way out, all on a pair of feet.

Fortunately, there were so many people, the five old cats carried equipment and supplies, and the other young people carried lighter bags, and a Miao guide Abu showed the way, and everyone headed towards the village where Ran Xun lived.

"Spring has arrived, and it's been raining lately, so the grass in the woods grows like crazy."

In fact, there was a narrow path in the jungle, but it was covered by leafy vines and weeds on both sides, and the big dog waved it in front of him with a special folding knife, and when it touched the weeds of the knife, it was immediately cut off.

The earth guide Abu looked enviously at the special knife in the big dog's hand, this is a good thing for their Miao people, and it is best to use it to open the way in the mountains and forests.

The woods were not very hot, but they were very humid, and after walking for more than ten minutes, everyone's faces began to sweat, and they didn't know whether it was sweat or the dew in the forest, and their clothes became sticky to their bodies.

"Hold on, let's walk for more than half an hour."

After walking for nearly an hour, the elderly Professor Sun couldn't hold on, mainly because he held his stomach, he never thought that one day he would walk through the academician mountain forest, this investigation is really bloody, but his body is really not good, and he must lose weight immediately after going back.

Anxia's face became more and more pale, she was weak, she was already out of breath, the old cat saw that Anxia began to pant slightly, and the leader explained that Anxia girl was not in good health, and in order to save Lu Baichuan, she gave up her life, so she must ensure that she is sent to her destination safely, and she can take care of her as much as possible on the way.

The old cat stepped forward quickly, grabbed Anxia, and then dragged her forward, Anxia instantly felt much more relaxed, and half of the weight of her body pressed on the old cat.

"Thank you."

She knew that she really couldn't hold it anymore, and this was not the time to be strong.

The old cat walked with Anxia for half an hour, and the leopard stepped forward, and walked for nearly twenty minutes, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and there was no grass in the open space.

"This is the grain field, here we are."

The local guide Abu smiled, but it can be calculated, this village is relatively remote, and it is very inside, it is definitely impossible to develop tourism, so this village has always been very poor, and the girls in their village have all married out.

"I'll take you to the patriarch."

When the local guide Abu saw the people in the village, he talked to the people in the village in Miao language, and soon some people ran to the village chief's house.

An Xia looked at the ethnic minorities in the village, the woman was very shy, carrying silver bracelets, some people also had them on their feet, and there was the crisp sound of bells when they walked, and the men were vigilant. Book Bar

The patriarch's house is a bungalow, there is a large open space at the door, the field of vision is broad, I learned that the official came, the patriarch stood at the door to welcome everyone in, and when I arrived in the house, Anxia looked around, the patriarch's house has a TV, and then there are all kinds of furniture, but they are all old furniture from the eighties and nineties, and there are many chairs made of bamboo, small tables, etc.

In addition to the TV being the most valuable item in the patriarch's house, other things look very ordinary, and even a little dilapidated, if the patriarch is like this, it can be seen that his clansmen have a lower standard of living.

Accompanied by the official personnel and explained by the local guide Abu, the patriarch learned that these people were from Kuncheng, and the substitute lived in their hospital, and the hospital gave the substitute free medical treatment, which was exactly the same as what Ran Xun's eldest brother said in the morning, and his attitude towards everyone's vigilance was better.

Knowing that everyone wanted to test the water source for the people in the village, the village chief took the people to a well not far from his yard and told everyone that this was the place where the people in the village had drunk water for generations, and that there was a stream not far from the village, but the water there was rarely drunk, and it was used for washing clothes and farming.

The inspectors immediately took samples from the two water sources, and at noon, everyone had a sumptuous local lunch at the patriarch's house, with fish, sausages, bacon, a cold dish mixed with plants, and a plate of peppers and potatoes.

But Professor Sun took a bite with An Xia, and quickly stuffed rice into his mouth, salty, really salty!

These meat and vegetables are so salty that they are bitter, and then look at the patriarch and the earth guide Abu, put a piece of meat on the rice, you can eat a small half bowl of rice, and then put a little chili, and a bowl of rice will be eaten, and the high-salt diet has been confirmed.

In the afternoon, Anxia and his senior brother followed the local guide Abu around the village, planning to ask the whole village and collect samples, Lao Mao sent a gray squirrel and the teacher to accompany them, the team member called the teacher, knows a lot of Miao language, and the communication with the locals is almost barrier-free.

Although the Miao people are very wary of outsiders, when Anxia distributes biscuits to children, cool oil and wind oil essence to women, as well as candy, hairpins and toys, everyone's vigilance is gradually reduced, at least their attitude is much better, anyway, Anxia doesn't ask about too private things, just ask everyone's eating habits and usual living habits, this is not something that can't be said.

It was dark early in the mountains, and after visiting seven or eight homes, it was dark, and the village chief's daughter-in-law ran out and called Anxia and the others to go back to eat, because the village chief's family was the largest, so Professor Sun negotiated with the village chief, and everyone lived in the village chief's house, even with food and accommodation, and gave 100 yuan a day.

Originally, Professor Sun said to give 300, after all, more than a dozen people, more than 20 yuan per person, not much at all, but for the people in the village, 300 is the money they may not be able to save after a year of hard work, the village chief refused to ask for money at first, and under the persuasion of the local guide Abu and local officials, he knew that Professor Sun was sincere in asking for money, and in the end he was only willing to accept 100.

One hundred is too little, eating bacon made from authentic peasant pigs, and drinking fruit wine made by their locals, Professor Sun plans to wait until he leaves, secretly leave an envelope at the patriarch's house, and make up the rest of the money to him.

In the evening, Anxia reported the situation to Professor Sun, they visited a total of seven houses today, among which she judged that three people had kidney stones and two had gallstones after diagnosing the pulse of the condition, and she had made a record, if she wanted to be diagnosed, she could go to the hospital for further diagnosis.

The poor testing of the water samples by the quality inspectors also showed that the people in the village ate hard water, which contained more calcium and magnesium, and whether there were other metals that needed to be further tested.

Anxia immediately reported that she chatted with the women in the village, they all went to the stream to wash their clothes, and never used well water, and one girl said that well water is too soapy, which is actually because the well water is hard, so it is not easy to bubble.

With this discovery, Professor Sun was a little excited, five out of seven households have various stones, and the water quality may really be one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of stone disease, as well as the high salt of the diet, which is also a characteristic of this place.

Everyone is satisfied with the results achieved after a hard day's work.
