Chapter 113 There it is, Tiger Leaping over the Cliff!
Thinking of this, Mr. Song felt inexplicably angry.
What a hatred, what a hatred. What did our family do to you? You, a beast, want to do this to our family?
"Second Master, I think what Chen Yang said makes sense."
Huang Can interrupted at this time, "Why don't we take a look at the water source first?"
< br>
"Yeah."
Second Master Song nodded.
I immediately found a sickle, put on my hoe, and followed the path beside the pond up the mountain.
Chen Yang and Huang Can were afraid that he would act out of anger and do bad things as he was getting older, so they followed him as good people and stayed true to their word.
The rest of the crowd, no longer interested in the excitement, temporarily dispersed.
……
——
Looking at water in rural areas is a very common thing.
The water source in the mountains is brought down by water pipes. Over time, the water pipes are prone to breakage, blockage, or simply the water source drying up, which requires maintenance.
Each family needs to maintain its own water source. If several families share water, they will take turns going up the mountain to see the water.
If you own a share in your own home, you have to maintain it in your own home.
In the past, the water source was the life of the villagers, especially when the weather was dry, there would often be fights and scoldings over the water source.
It's much better now.
The water in Mr. Song’s house is drawn from a mountain forest in Yangwane.
From the generation of Mr. Song’s grandfather’s grandfather, the family has always had this water.
Even if the weather is dry and other people's water is cut off, the water in their house has not been cut off.
Looking up to the Swan, a place name on Qishan Mountain.
When Yamagata arrives here, it looks like a goose head held high, hence its name.
Go up the palm tree slope, and walk another hundred or so meters, you will see the swans.
Following the water pipes of Mr. Song’s house, nothing unusual was found along the way.
But the further along this road, the more Chen Yang felt a little weird.
Almost an hour later, the three of them arrived at Yangwane.
A water pipe flows out of the dense forest. Follow the pipe and enter the forest. After a while, you arrive at the water source.
A pool made of cement is built against a cliff.
The pond is not big, just two meters square. It is covered with a wooden board to cover the fallen leaves and prevent the surrounding animals from drinking from it.
The location is very cool.
The water is leached from the mountain wall.
Pure mountain spring water.
Song Erye lifted up the wooden board and felt a sudden chill. It was really refreshing.
The water in the pool is almost full.
The water is very clear, crystal clear.
Didn’t see the toad last night.
However, there are a few small fish floating on the water. I don’t know how long they have been dead, and they emit a fishy smell.
Second Master Song’s expression changed slightly.
He deliberately kept these small fish here so that he could tell at a glance whether the water quality had changed or whether it had been poisoned.
There are no cameras in this mountain. If someone gets in trouble with you and poisons your water source, it will be difficult to find the murderer.
This kind of thing has never happened in the village before.
But Mr. Song is quite popular in the village and has a certain prestige. There is really no doubt about who poisoned his family.
So, Mr. Song still stubbornly felt that it must be the toad that was messing with him last night.
The fact that the fish are dead can only mean that the water quality has changed and it is probably poisonous.
Chen Yang pinched his nose, "I'm afraid this fish has been dead for more than a day or two. Second Master, don't you think it's strange?"
"What's strange?"
Second Master Song He looked at Chen Yang with some confusion.
Chen Yang said, "Your family has been drinking water these past few days. The water has obviously been poisonous for more than a day or two, but why did the accident happen today?" Mr. Song was startled.
I didn't turn around for a while and didn't know what Chen Yang was talking about.
He lifted up all the covers on the pool and fished out the dead fish from the pool.
Tick tock, tick tock!
A drop of water falls from above, drawing large and small circles on the surface of the pool.
Second Master Song looked up, but there was a bit of doubt in his old eyes.
"What's wrong?" Huang Can asked.
Song Erye pointed to the top of the cliff. There was a tree growing there. A root of the tree protruded from the cliff. Water was dripping down along the root of the tree, and it happened to drip into the pool.
Because the flow rate is not large, it drops a drop from time to time. If you don't pay attention, it will be easily ignored.
“There may be something wrong with this tree.”
Song Erye’s eyebrows wrinkled like insects.
The water in their house seeps out from the cliff and has always been clean and safe, but the water dripping from the tree is considered foreign matter.
Chen Yang took a look and saw that it was a wild osmanthus tree.
The branches look a little dry.
He took a few steps back, rushed forward, and climbed up the six to seven meter high cliff with his bare hands.
Seeing such a scene, Mr. Song and Huang Can were stunned for a moment, shouting to be careful.
Chen Yang gave them an OK gesture, stood up straight, and looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
There is a piece of grass on the top of the cliff, but a large area has dried up.
A small ditch washed out by the mountain spring extends to the roots of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
The water flows down from the forest higher up.
"Second Master, come up and have a look."
Chen Yang shouted, he probably understood what was going on.
After a while, Song Erye and Huang Can found a way and reached the top of the cliff.
Seeing the situation in front of me, I was also confused.
"It seems that it was a small ditch washed out by the rain some time ago. By coincidence, it went to your water source."
Chen Yang pointed to the small ditch that extended to In the forest above, there was a small ditch that was obviously just washed out, and he explained it to Mr. Song.
In fact, he didn't even need to explain, Second Master Song understood what was going on.
Maybe it’s not the water source that’s wrong, but that the water source is polluted.
I was polluted by the sudden extra water vein in front of me.
It is common for water veins in mountains to change course. If you encounter one, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
"Chen Yang, look..."
Huang Can called Chen Yang at this moment and pointed to the top of the forest.
Chen Yang looked in the direction of his finger. Above the dense forest, there was a cliff.
That cliff looks familiar.
“Tiger Leaping Cliff?”
Chen Yang frowned, and then realized that walking up from here was actually the way to Tiger Leaping Cliff.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that both of them looked serious, Mr. Song asked in confusion.
The tiger leaps over the cliff, the poisonous toad.
In fact, it is not difficult to think that the poison in the water is probably related to the poisonous toad in Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Huang Can gave Mr. Song an overview.
After hearing this, Mr. Song's beard almost flew up, "I'm just saying, it's the toad that's causing trouble."
He was so angry that he was about to go up the mountain, as if he wanted to fight the toad. .
But after hearing about Xue Qi’s tragic situation that day, Mr. Song stopped again.
"The toad is a toad, but it may not be the same one."
At this time, Chen Yang spoke abruptly.
