After stabilizing his mind, Zhao Xiyang came to the small river, just looking at the groups of dead fish in the river, he felt a burst of worry in his heart.

These small fish will definitely be picked up and eaten by those in the village who love to take advantage of small advantages, and then the same thing will happen like before he was reborn, and the people in the village will suffer from diseases one after another.

It's just that even if he fishes out all the dead fish here and throws them away, there will be dead fish here again in a few days, and only by solving the upstream source can the people in the village not have an accident.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiyang didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly walked upstream along the river.

Originally, this small river was crystal clear in Zhao Xiyang's memory, and a few small fish would swim by from time to time. But now he found that the river was a little muddy, and the closer it was upstream, the more turbid it became, accompanied by a pungent smell.

Silently holding his breath, he plucked a leaf from the nearby woods and placed it on the top of his nose, so that the smell of the leaves could dispel the smell of the river.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xiyang to find that the grass and trees near the river in front of him were starting to become scarce, and the leaves were beginning to turn yellow.

It's summer, and the leaves are supposed to be green, but it's weird to see that the leaves are already turning yellow.

This strange scene made Zhao Xiyang somewhat understand that the source of everything should be nearby.

Sure enough, before he could go far, Zhao Xiyang saw a small factory in the mountains not far away.

This factory is only a few thousand square meters in size, and a fence has been built against the river, and seeing this, Zhao Xiyang hurriedly stepped forward again.

I saw that the drainage pipe of this factory was facing the river from one side of the wall, and from time to time some blackened sewage flowed from the drain.

Smelling this somewhat pungent sewage, a strange feeling rose in Zhao Xiyang's heart, he had never heard of any factories around here before he was reborn, not to mention that this factory had been established for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiyang hurriedly walked out of the river and walked towards the gate of the factory, he wanted to ask what was going on with this factory.

Soon, Zhao Xiyang came to the gate of this factory, but what surprised him was that the gate of this factory was actually closed.

"Is there anyone in there?" Zhao Xiyang shouted outside the gate.

Not long after, a very strong man wearing a security guard quietly opened a window and looked outside a few times, only to find that Zhao Xiyang was alone.

"Boy, what's wrong with you?" The stout man asked, a little impatiently.

"Hello big brother! I'm a nearby villager, can I ask who runs this factory? Although this strong man looked very impatient, Zhao Xiyang would not show displeasure, after all, now he was relying on this strong man to understand the situation.

"Why did the villagers get here?" The strong man looked him up and down, not knowing what he was thinking, so he muttered this.

"Big brother, who opened this factory?" Looking at the strong man who didn't know what he was thinking, Zhao Xiyang asked him again.

"Smack!"

What answered Zhao Xiyang was the sound of the small window closing.

"Big brother, big brother." Zhao Xiyang shouted unwillingly.

It's just that no matter how he calls outside, there is no window inside.

Seeing that the people inside did not open the window, Zhao Xiyang had no choice but to leave the factory with doubts, and now he wanted to go back to the village first, because the female county magistrate seemed to be in the village, and it was right to find out about her.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhao Xiyang saw his father at the entrance of the village and kept looking here.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Zhao Xiyang greeted his father from afar.

"It's not like you're waiting for you stinky boy, how are you doing?" Seeing Zhao Xiyang come back safely, his father was also very happy in his heart, and quickly asked.

Getting his father's answer, Zhao Xiyang was very moved.

But as soon as he thought of his own affairs, he quickly asked his father: "Dad, is the county magistrate gone?"

Now he doesn't want the county magistrate to leave so early, after all, the county magistrate will definitely know something about the factory in the mountains.

"The county magistrate left early, and you kid suddenly asked what the county magistrate does." Zhao Fugui was a little puzzled, it wasn't that he didn't want to see the county magistrate with a disgusted face just now, why did he come to the county magistrate again now.

"It's okay Dad, by the way, Village Chief Tong is at home." Hearing that the county magistrate had left, Zhao Xiyang was a little disappointed, and hurriedly asked if the village chief was at home.

After all, no matter what the village chief says, he is a petty official, and he always knows more than ordinary people.

"It should be at home, or I'll go with you." Zhao Fugui thought for a while and said to him.

"No need Dad, you go home first, I'll go to the village chief for something. I'll be home in a moment. Hearing that the village chief was at home, Zhao Xiyang became happy and hurriedly asked his father to go home to rest.

"Okay then, you'll be back when you're done, I'll go first." Seeing that his son didn't let him follow, Zhao Fugui had no choice but to go home.

Bidding farewell to his father, Zhao Xiyang hurriedly ran towards the village chief's house, he was afraid that the village chief would not be at home for a while, so he hurriedly ran.

Soon, a small courtyard made of red bricks appeared in front of him, which was the village chief's home.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Zhao Xiyang found that the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and it seemed that Old Man Tong was at home.

Now Zhao Xiyang was not in a hurry, wiped the sweat beads on his face, and then walked into the small courtyard of the village chief.

At this time, the old man Tong was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhao Xiyang's arrival, he quickly got up to welcome, after all, this Zhao Xiyang was the one who saved the county magistrate, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't welcome it.

"Xiyang, what's wrong?" Let Zhao Xiyang, who was a little out of breath, sit down, and then the old man Tong asked.

He was very curious about Zhao Xiyang coming to his house, not to mention seeing his panting appearance, it seemed that there was something urgent.

"Village chief, I really have something to ask you." After taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, Zhao Xiyang spoke.

Hearing that Zhao Xiyang really had something to find him, after thinking about it for a while, the old man Tong, who was old and well-established, said such a sentence: "Xiyang, if you have something, just say it, as long as you can help."

After all, the current county magistrate still remembers Zhao Xiyang, the person who saved him, as long as he helps Zhao Xiyang, if the county magistrate sees it, he will definitely praise himself, maybe with the support of the county magistrate, the next election of the village chief will be himself.
