"Up the mountain?" The village chief looked at Feng Anyan and He Mulan suspiciously, and asked strangely, "What are you doing on the mountain, you two are young, the mountain is full of insects, insects, beasts, and beasts, what should I do if I get hurt?" ”

"Village chief, after our investigation, we found that many people in the village are sick." He Mulan hurriedly said, "We suspect that this has something to do with the water source, and it is likely that the water source is polluted." ”

"No one in our village has the money to buy pesticides, so where can they pollute the water supply?" The village chief was still not convinced.

"Is this well in your house connected to the lake on the mountain?" Feng Anyan asked suddenly.

"No, this water is brought from somewhere else, I have bad legs and feet, and I always let my wife go out to fetch water, so I was too tired to let my wife go out to fetch water, so I started a well by myself." The village chief explained solemnly.

"We want to go to the water source in the mountains and have a look." Feng Anyan still insisted.

The village chief had no choice, after all, it was a person sent from above, and they insisted on doing so and couldn't stop it themselves, and they had already told them about the possible dangers, and they still looked like they were going to go.

In the end, the village chief had to sigh and agree, but because the village chief was busy and couldn't lead the way himself, he asked them all the way to ask.

"Is it just a straight walk down the village? The village chief said that occasionally there were people who went to wash clothes on that side and would know the way. He Mulan asked with a frown.

Feng Anyan shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Since the village chief asked us to ask while walking, then we ......"

Feng Anyan said this, but suddenly there was no sound, He Mulan was feeling strange, so he looked up at Feng Anyan, only to see him looking ahead, his expression confused.

He Mulan also looked ahead, only to see a person standing on the side of the dirt road in front of him, looking a little familiar.

"That's not ......" He Mulan had a good memory, and immediately remembered that the person was the person she and Feng Anyan saw on the way to come.

Seeing that he seemed to have been discovered, the man stepped forward and looked at Feng Anyan.

He Mulan saw the appearance of that person clearly, he was about thirty years old, and although his skin was a little dark, he did not have the rustic atmosphere of those country men.

"Who are you?" Feng Anyan asked coldly, for fear that he would have bad intentions, and he would protect He Mulan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't be nervous, my surname is Hu, my name is Hu Qingshan, and I am a teacher in Stone Village and Town." Hu Qingshan explained kindly.

"Teacher?" There are still teachers in such a poor village, He Mulan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, I volunteered to teach." Hu Qingshan said lightly, and then he looked at He Mulan and said, "You guys are from outside, right?" What to do? ”

"Why are you asking so clearly?" Feng Anyan was a little vigilant.

"Actually, I've always been a little confused." Hu Qingshan knew that if he didn't explain clearly, it would be difficult to gain Feng Anyan's trust, so he explained happily, "I came to teach, and I only taught some elementary school students, but my original major was medicine. ”

After graduating, Hu Qingshan volunteered to come to Shicun to teach, because Shishi Village and the small town in front of it are geographically remote, the land is barren, and there is no source of income, so the people here do not attach great importance to knowledge, and there are less than ten children who go to school in the town and village.

Hu Qingshan went to the town to teach for a week, and Shi Village for a week, this week he happened to finish the class in Stone Village, and was about to go back to the town, when he saw Feng Anyan's car.

Although Hu Qingshan has been in the countryside for seven or eight years, he occasionally goes to the city, so his knowledge is not backward, he can see at a glance that the car is worth a lot, so he stood and looked at it for a while.

Over the years, Hu Qingshan found that the villagers' physique was getting worse and worse, he was a medical professional, and when he first came here, he felt that something was wrong when he smelled the water in Stone Village.

"The water is not clean, but after all, I don't have any professional equipment, I can't test it, and the people here are not very particular about it, and it's normal to throw some garbage or something into the water, but it will definitely not form this smell." Hu Qingshan said solemnly, "Besides, I also found that some of the villagers are seriously ill, which is obviously a symptom of cancer. ”

He Mulan looked at Feng Anyan, both of them had serious faces, it seemed that what they wanted to check was about to surface.

"We're going to take a look near the water source." He Mulan said.

"I've been to the water source, but I haven't found anything." Hu Qingshan sighed, although those villagers knew that the water quality was not good, but there was no running water in the village, they could only drink the water, although there was a small well in the village chief's house, but the bottom of the well was only a small spring, which could not provide food for the whole village.

"There must be something." Feng Anyan said firmly.

Hu Qingshan glanced at Feng Anyan's insistence on his face, moved slightly, and said, "I'll take you there." ”

Along the way, they met many villagers, who seemed to like Hu Qingshan very much and greeted them warmly.

"Why did you come here as soon as you graduated?" He Mulan asked with some puzzlement, since Hu Qingshan is a medical professional, he can find a good job in the city, and there is no need to come here to suffer.

"At first, I came here to relax because something happened at home, but then I couldn't leave anymore, and every time I said I wanted to leave, the children looked at me with blank eyes, afraid that I would never come back." Hu Qingshan's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said slowly.

He Mulan, who is also a teacher, deeply understands the responsibility on his shoulders, and the expectations and love of the children are the most unbearable.

After a while, the three of them came to the mountain where the water source was, and saw a group of women chatting and walking up the mountain, still carrying clothes in their hands.

"Isn't this Mr. Hu, aren't you going back to the town?" When those women saw Hu Qingshan, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked in their hometown.

"It's a bit of a problem to come back." Hu Qingshan replied with a smile.

The other women saw He Mulan and Feng Anyan, and couldn't help but discuss with each other, Hu Qingshan took He Mulan and Feng Anyan to continue to go up, the mountain road was not steep, not long after going up, I saw a place halfway up the mountain, there was an oval lake, and there was a small pool next to the lake.

The women carried their clothes and chattered to the small pool, sat down and began to wash their clothes with their hands and feet.

"The women wash their clothes in the small pool, and they drink water from the big lake." Hu Qingshan explained.

"What about the water in the creek?" He Mulan asked again, and she stepped forward and came to a woman who was washing clothes.

Hu Qingshan and Feng Anyan also followed, and Hu Qingshan explained: "The water in the creek is also separated from the lake, except for the well in the village chief's house, which is the only source of water. ”

"The well of the village chief's house." The woman who was washing the clothes seemed to have finally found an opportunity to interject, and hurriedly said, "There is very little water in that well, don't look at the height of the well." ”

"Do you usually come here to do laundry?" He Mulan squatted down and watched curiously as they put their clothes into the pool water to moisten them.

"No, the creek and the lake are so far away from the village, and we bring all the water from the house to eat, so we come here to wash our clothes." The woman replied.
