After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 112 Something happened, is there a problem with the water source?
"Can I help you with anything?"

"Need not!"

Chen Yang shook his head. "Just don't come with me. I don't know how long I'll be gone this time. My grandfather is not in good health. If you have time, please help take care of him for me..."

"You make it sound like you're making arrangements for your final resting place!"

Huang Can gave a bitter smile, then waved his hands, "Pah, pah, pah, do you think I'm foul-mouthed and didn't say anything? Don't worry, I'll help you look after the family..."

After a pause, he continued, "Chen Yang, I know you are capable, but you still have to do everything within your capabilities. In Mixiangou, if you can get out once after entering it, that's lucky. It's impossible for people to be lucky every time..."

"You also said that the situation in the mountains is complicated. Although you killed the crested snake, I can't guarantee that there is only one crested snake in there. There may be more powerful ones..."

Chen Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation!"

Huang Can didn't know what to say anymore, so they parted ways and went home.

……

-

Chen Yang went to bed late at night and fell asleep at almost four o'clock.

This time, I slept very deeply.

I slept until noon the next day without even having a dream.

He was awakened by Huang Can.

When I got up, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

In the yard, Huang Can's face was full of anxiety.

"Go, go, go, something happened at the Second Master's house!"

Seeing Chen Yang coming out, he immediately pulled him out of the yard.

"What happened?"

Chen Yang had just woken up and was still confused.

I didn’t eat breakfast, wash my face, or brush my teeth.

On the way, Huang Can stammered and gave Chen Yang a general idea.

Mr. Song's daughter-in-law, Song Kaiyun's wife, suddenly fell ill early this morning and was sent to the hospital.

The 120 ambulance entered the village early in the morning, causing quite a stir.

Said it looked like food poisoning.

Early this morning, Tang Guixiang came to the backyard as usual and scooped a bowl of water from the water tank to drink.

The water is spring water flowing down from the mountains, it is sweet and thirst-quenching.

The weather has been hot recently, and I feel dry mouth and tongue after a good night's sleep. Drinking a bowl of cold mountain spring water is not harmful to the body, but it feels great anyway.

It's refreshing from beginning to end.

But this time, it seems different from the past.

Tang Guixiang felt unwell shortly after drinking the water.

First he had diarrhea, then he broke out in rashes all over his body, and soon he went into a state of shock.

The Song family panicked and quickly called an ambulance.

……

"No, didn't the Second Master and his men change the water in the jar after we left last night?"

Chen Yang was very confused. He knew that the toad had been soaked in the tank, but he still dared to drink the water in the tank. How could he be so bold?
"Changed!"

Huang Can said, "I heard from Second Master that they changed the water tank several times overnight and washed it several times. Who knew that the toad would be so poisonous!"

"This……"

Chen Yang paused.

As they were talking, the two arrived at Mr. Song's house.

The door was closed and it seemed that no one was home.

"It should be Gantang. I just saw the Second Master looking for someone all over the village!"

Huang Can took Chen Yang around to the back of the house. There was a small path next to it. They followed the path and climbed up to the bamboo forest on the back mountain.

In the bamboo forest, the ground was still wet. Yesterday, Chen Yang and his men released water to drown the bamboo rats, which caused great damage to the forest.

When we arrived at the bitter bamboo forest, we heard whispers of people talking from above.

"Damn you, what has our family done to you that you have to bring disaster upon us like this?"

"Come out, get out!"

Several figures were swaying by the pond, and Mr. Song was pointing at the pond and cursing.

He was so angry that he picked up stones from the pond and threw them into it.

The few people around were mostly elderly people from the village, whom Mr. Song called over to give them courage.

They were holding hoes and shovels, pointing at the pond, and no one knew what they were talking about.

I didn’t see Song Kaiyun. He must have been accompanying his wife to the hospital.

"Second Master!"

Chen Yang rushed to the edge of the pond in a few steps.

When Mr. Song saw him, he hurriedly called out, "Come on, you've come just in time, help me drain this pond. I don't believe it, this beast can still do evil in broad daylight."

It was obvious that he was really furious.

For no reason, such an unexpected disaster happened. Anyone would be furious.

Fortunately, his daughter-in-law has the habit of drinking cold water when she gets up early.

Otherwise, it is very likely that their entire family would be wiped out.

Just thinking about it makes me scared.

I had been thinking of talking to this thing in a friendly way, buying it some delicious food to apologize, and maybe the matter would be resolved. Who could have thought this would happen.

It was obvious that there was no way to resolve the situation peacefully. Once Mr. Song got angry, it was hard to pull him back.

Picking up the hoe, he began to dig on the bank of the pond.

"Second Master, please wait a moment."

Chen Yang stepped forward and grabbed the hoe. "We don't even know if that thing is in the pond. If it's not in the pond, then all your efforts have been in vain."

Mr. Song calmed down for a moment and thought that this seemed to be the case. Although he had a lot of strength, he should not squander it like this.

"I think we should just get a few bottles of DDT and pour it in and try it." Someone nearby came up with a bad idea.

Mr. Song's eyes lit up for a moment, but when he saw the pesticide bags floating by the pond, he immediately became deflated.

The toad is the leader of the five poisonous creatures. This toad is so big and so poisonous. A few bottles of DDT might have been mistaken for a snack.

Moreover, although this pond is a wild pond, it is also an asset of the village. If you pour DDT into it, it would be considered deliberate poisoning.

What if someone wants to play a trick on you? Wouldn’t it be easy for them to do that?

Mr. Song looked at Chen Yang and inexplicably felt that this young man was reliable and wanted him to make some decisions.

Chen Yang said, "Second Master, tell me, is it possible that there is something wrong with your water source?"

As he walked along the way and listened to Huang Can's story, he always felt that something was wrong.

That toad has been harassing Mr. Song’s family for several days now. The family had no problems drinking the water before, so why did something go wrong this time when they changed the water?
"What?"

Mr. Song was stunned for a moment.

Chen Yang explained his doubts to him.

After Mr. Song heard this, his face darkened. "Xiaoyang, are you saying that the toad ran into my water source?"

In recent years, many families in the village have installed running water for convenience, saving the trouble of going up the mountain to find water.

But after all, people live off the land, and there are many families like Mr. Song who do not have running water.

These families all get their water from the mountains. Some of them work together to maintain a water vein, while others own a water vein on their own.

Mr. Song's house has its own water vein. He finds his own water source and maintains it himself. It has been like this for many years.

Nothing had ever happened before, but something happened today.

Almost subconsciously, Mr. Song felt that it was probably the toad taking revenge on him. It was not allowed to live in the tank, so it ran to its own water source.
