Chapter 623: Cave Exploration
"It's okay for you to go for a walk around the village, but there are a few households you must not go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Gu Baishui said.
"Why?" Zhang Zhaohua smelled puzzled.
"These households are very repulsive to strangers, and there are some situations that you still don't know. So as not to be torn between the two sides. Gu Baishui said.
Zhang Zhaohua frowned, and from Gu Baishui's tone, he could see that there was obviously a situation here. But what's going on?
"Actually, the people in our village are very good, but just a few households are not very easy to deal with, you just don't provoke them, and they won't deliberately get along with you. Gu Baishui seemed to avoid this topic intentionally or unintentionally.
"Gu Zhishu, I heard that many young people of marriageable age in Yingpan Village can't marry their mothers-in-law, is there such a thing?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.
"There is. In a poor place like Yingpan Village, where are the girls willing to marry them? Those who have the ability to marry their mothers-in-law will not come back, and those who do not have the ability can only fight as singles. Gu Baishui shook his head.
Zhang Zhaohua is not in a hurry to do things, she didn't plan to do anything earth-shattering when she came here, and finding a quiet place to settle down is the real purpose. By the way, let's also solve the matter of Yingpan Village.
Cultivation is not about sitting in a place with a strong aura and swallowing it, but more importantly, about feeling the Great Dao. You can be enlightened in the mountains, and you can also be enlightened in the city. In this poor mountain village, you can also be enlightened. Zhang Zhaohua did not deliberately go to enlightenment, but waited for the opportunity. With the opportunity to enlighten the Dao, it is natural to be able to comprehend the Dao.
Gu Chuangui still remembered that he wanted to earn money to buy painkillers from Zhang Zhaohua, so he ran over after eating. Seeing that Zhang Zhaohua was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he immediately ran over to help.
"Uncle, I'll wash the dishes for you. Gu Chuangui said.
"Okay. Then trouble you. Zhang Zhaohua stepped aside.
Although Gu Chuanping is small, he is very quick to do housework. But after all, it's a child, and it can't be as careful as an adult.
"Do you have a snack? I'll get it for you. Zhang Jiahua was about to rummage through the box.
"No, no, uncle, I'm not here to eat candy. Didn't you tell me to take you around the village? I'm going to make money to buy painkillers for my grandfather. Gu Chuangui said.
"Is this okay? You can familiarize me with the situation in your village, and I will heal your grandfather's leg when the time comes." Zhang Zhaohua asked.
My grandfather was rheumatism, and the people in the village said it couldn't be cured. Gu Chuangui said.
"Where is there a disease that can't be cured? I just don't know how to treat it. I'm sure I'll cure your grandfather's rheumatism. Zhang Zhaohua said.
"That's settled. If you can't cure it, give me money to buy painkillers. Gu Chuangui said. He still didn't quite believe Zhang Zhaohua's words.
"Gu Zhishu told me just now, there are a few households in your village that I must not go, do you know what's going on?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.
"The adults also told our children not to go to those houses. Who knows what the hell those guys are doing? Maybe there's something unlucky. Many times when I passed over there, I heard crying, and I was scared to death. Haunted, I'm afraid. When Gu Chuangui talked about the affairs of those families, his face changed.
"In broad daylight, how can it be haunted?" Zhang Zhaohua also felt strange.
"I heard someone crying inside, and I cried once or twice, but I didn't hear it. When I went back to tell my grandfather, I was scolded by my grandfather. You must not go near their house, it is very unlucky. Gu Chuangui hurriedly reminded Zhang Zhaohua.
"Go, take me to that poisonous pond. Zhang Zhaohua said.
It didn't take long for Gu Chuangui to take Zhang Zhaohua to the pond. The area of this pond is not small, and it can be said that it is a small reservoir. Zhang Zhaohua saw the problem of this pond at a glance. The water in the pond is very clear and looks very clean, unlike the water in the pond, which is a little green, and the water in this pond is as clean as pure water. Even the bottom of the pond can be seen clearly. The bottom of the pond is bare, without a trace of life. There was nothing to be seen on the surface of the water except for a few fallen leaves. Even the edge of the pond is bare.
"Have you ever bathed in this pond?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.
Gu Chuangui shook his head: "This pond is poisonous water, and the adults are not allowed to go inside to bathe." ”
Everyone in the village knows how powerful this pond is, and the water in it is not only inedible for livestock, but even watering crops can drench them to death. It has become a well-known pool of poisonous water. If the water from this pond could be used for irrigation, there would be no shortage of water in Yingpan Village.
Zhang Zhaohua saw that the edge of the pond seemed to be covered with a layer of white sand, so she walked over, grabbed a little, pinched it, and then licked it with her tongue, and tasted a salty taste that was not very pure.
"Saline ponds. Zhang Zhaohua suddenly understood, with such a high salinity, any animal or plant soaked in it would have to die. However, Zhang Zhaohua heard from Gu Zhishu that this pond was not like this before. So where does the salinity in this pond come from?
Gu Chuangui also learned from Zhang Zhaohua to pinch the salt alkali with his fingers, then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately spit it out: "It's so salty!"
"Chuangui, where is there a hole in this pond, and where does the water flow into the pond when it rains?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.
"From the mountains. This thing poisons the pond, and no one usually comes. But the water comes down from the mountains. Gu Chuangui said.
Zhang Zhaohua nodded and didn't continue to ask, because Gu Chuangui didn't know. Zhang Zhaohua walked around the side of the pond and found that some of the bare places were covered with thicker saline, while others were thinner. Maybe it has a lot to do with the source of the salinity.
This pond is very large, and on the pond dam, Zhang Zhaohua can still see the slogan of "Agricultural Dazhai". It shows that this pond is also the result of water conservancy construction in that hot era, but no one imagined that the small reservoir that had been painstakingly built would become a poisonous pond.
Near a rock, Zhang Zhaohua saw a thick white salinity, like a white sandy beach. The saline ground spreads all the way to the mouth of a stone cave, which can be seen, and the cave is also covered with a thick layer of saline.
"This should be it. Zhang Zhaohua said secretly in his heart. This cave is supposed to be the source of salinity. The cave is huge, two meters high, and Zhang Zhaohua can walk into the cave without bowing her waist at all. This cave should have been formed for a long time, since there was no salt in the pond, this cave should have been without salt before, it may only be due to some unexpected situation, causing the salt and alkali in the mountain to merge into the groundwater. Zhang Zhaohua was about to go to the cave, but was stopped by Gu Chuangui.
"Uncle, don't go inside, it's dangerous. Gu Chuangui said.
"How dangerous?" Zhang asked.
"In the past, someone in the village went to play in the cave, but they were bitten by the monsters inside. Gu Chuangui said.
"Monster?" Zhang asked curiously.
"yes. Uncle Cripple went inside, but he was accidentally bitten on the leg by a monster, and when he came out, he became lame. Gu Chuangui looked at the cave with some fear, for fear that the monster would jump out of it at any time.
Zhang Zhaohua withdrew, he didn't want Gu Chuangui, a little kid, to be anxious. Sooner or later, he would come and explore this cave. The secrets of saline-alkali ponds must be found out, and only after eradicating the aftermath can we find a way to control saline-alkali ponds. To solve the problem of Yingpan Village, this pond is still very important.
"Chuangui, where are your parents, have they all gone out to work?" Zhang Zhaohua patted Gu Chuangui's head.
"My mother ran away, and my father went out to find my mother, and he never came back. Gu Chuangui suddenly became gloomy.
Zhang Zhaohua stroked Gu Chuangui's head, I am afraid that his father's affairs are not so simple. But Zhang Zhaohua didn't ask any further. It's been a long time, and there's still a long time to be here, so there's always a chance to figure it all out.
The area of the poisonous pond is not small, Zhang Zhaohua and Gu Chuangui followed the poisonous pond around, and walked for an hour or two, in addition to the difficult mountain road, there is also one, that is, this pond is really like a reservoir. It is a pity that such a large pond has become a saline pond. If you can control the source, drain the water from the pond, and then remove all the salt and alkali at the bottom of the pond, and then store the water, there should be no problem. It may be possible to solve the problem of water shortage in Yingpan Village at once.
Zhang Zhaohua took Gu Chuangui back to the village school, took out the snacks and shared them with Gu Chuangui.
"What do you usually rely on to make money to buy food?" Zhang Zhaohua asked.
"The state distributes relief food. There is also selling medicinal herbs to make money and buy rice. Gu Chuangui ate very carefully, and even some crumbs stuck to the packaging box had to be eaten carefully.
"Come on, there's still one here. Zhang Zhaohua grabbed another handful and gave it to Gu Chuangui.
Gu Chuangui shook his head: "I've already eaten it." Uncle, I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow. Then he got up and went home.
Zhang Zhaohua hurriedly said, "Why don't you go back after you have dinner with me?"
Gu Chuangui shook his head again: "Grandpa is still waiting for me to have dinner." ”
After Zhang Zhaohua waited for Gu Chuangui to leave, he went to the poisonous pond alone, he wanted to go to the cave to explore. Walking into the cave, I took out a flashlight and shone it inside, the cave was very deep, and I couldn't see the end at all. I just think this cave is very deep.
"Ding Dong!"
From time to time, there was the crisp tinkling sound of water droplets in the cave.
Although the current has become small, you can still see in the cave the direction of the current.
Zhang Zhaohua released the leopard and asked it to find out if there was anything hidden in the cave.
The leopard sniffed around on the ground, then walked briskly towards the depths of the cave.
Zhang Zhaohua followed behind the diamond leopard, the cave was crooked, and he didn't know how far he went, Zhang Zhaohua looked at the mobile phone that had no signal for a long time, calculated the time, and walked for more than 30 minutes. The caves are narrow in some places and wide in others. The stalactites hanging from the roof of the cave are like jewels, sparkling in the light of the lights.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhaohua shouted towards a side hole, which was not very large, allowing only one person to crawl forward. Zhang Zhaohua shone it inside with a flashlight and didn't see anything, but on the ground, Zhang Zhaohua saw white crystals again. It should be the crystalline salinity.
Zhang Zhaohua knew that those salinity should come from this side hole. Zhang Zhaohua frowned, this hole is too narrow, you have to crawl on the ground to be able to get in, if the cave inside is getting narrower and narrower, it will be difficult to exit.
However, Zhang Zhaohua was prostrate on the ground and climbed in, he was not afraid of danger. If there was any danger, he could always hide in the Cultivation Diagram space, or use Dao magic to clear the cave.
Fortunately, after climbing dozens of meters, the cave inside became open, and with a flashlight shining around, it was like entering a crystal in the world. The walls of the cave are all sparkling crystals. It looks like a beautiful palace.
Zhang Zhaohua naturally understood that this was the source of saline, but this should be a mineral stored in the ground, why was it washed out by the water? Zhang Zhaohua found the source, a cave extended from above to the distance, it should be this cave that attracted water from a distance. There are some ghosts in this cave, not like they are naturally formed, but they are dug out of something.
The leopard barked a few times towards the ground, and Zhang Zhaohua walked over to take a look and found some messy footprints on the ground.
"Paw prints!" Zhang Zhaohua couldn't remember what kind of animal the paw prints on the ground were. But Zhang Zhaohua knew that this was the culprit that caused the small reservoir in Yingpan Village to become a saline-alkali lake.
Zhang Zhaohua was still a little incredulous, this culprit was able to even get rid of the rocks.
"What is so strong?" Zhang Zhaohua remembered, but he had never seen such a powerful wild thing.
"Is it something that has become a refinement?"
However, the cave over there is relatively narrow, even if Zhang calls the flower to crawl forward, there is no way to get in, and it is a little difficult to even drill the mountain leopard to enter. It was difficult for Zhang to call flowers, and from the cultivation space, he got the fat cat out. Although the fat cat is very fat, it is much smaller than the diamond leopard, and it is better at doing this.
The fat cat was a little reluctant to burrow into this burrow, which was worse than a dog hole, which made it very embarrassing. It took a while to squirm for a while, and only after Zhang Zhaohua kicked her in the ass, she got into the hole aggrievedly.
After a while, the fat cat returned, and it was not found inside, and the culprit was no longer inside. However, the fat cat did not fail to find it, it took Zhang Zhaohua out of the cave, then ran halfway up the mountainside, found another cave, and then took Zhang Zhaohua to find another exit from the hole it had just drilled. That is, where the water flows. As long as this opening is blocked, it may be possible to clean up the source of salinity from the source.
Zhang Zhaohua took out a stalk, dug up a lot of dirt to block the cave, and tamped the soil. In this way, the next time the rain comes, it will never burrow into the hole from here, let alone dissolve the crystals inside and carry the salt to the pond.
