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

Chapter 113 That’s Tiger Leaping Cliff!
Thinking of this, Mr. Song felt inexplicably angry.

What a huge hatred and grudge this is! What has our family done to you that you, a beast, have 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 check the water source first?"

"Ah."

Mr. Song nodded.

He immediately found a sickle, picked up a hoe, and went up the mountain along the path beside the pond.

Chen Yang and Huang Can were afraid that he would act on impulse and do something bad at his old age, so they decided to be good people and follow him.

The rest of the people, seeing that there was no more fun to watch, temporarily dispersed.

……

-

Looking at water is a very common thing in rural areas.

The water source in the mountains is brought down by pipes, which are prone to breakage, blockage, or even water drying up over time, which requires human maintenance.

Each family needs to maintain their own water source. If several families pool together to get water, they can take turns going up the mountain to look for water.

If your family owns a share alone, then you have to maintain it yourself.

In the past, water sources were the lifeblood of the villagers. Especially during dry seasons, fights and arguments over water sources would often occur.

It's much better now.

The water for Mr. Song's house was drawn from a forest in Yangtian'e.

Since Mr. Song’s great-grandfather’s generation, the family has been relying on this water, and the supply has never been cut off.

Even if the weather is dry and other people's water is cut off, their water supply has never been cut off.

Yangtian'e is a place name on Qishan Mountain.

The shape of the mountain here looks like a goose head with its head held high, hence the name.

Go up the palm tree slope and walk about a hundred meters to reach Yangtian Swan.

Following the water pipes of Mr. Song's house, I didn't find anything unusual.

But the further he walked on this road, the more Chen Yang felt something was a little weird.

After about an hour, the three arrived at Yangtian'e.

A water pipe flows out of the dense forest. Following the pipe, we enter the forest and soon arrive at the water source.

There is a pool built with cement, next to a cliff.

The pond is not big, only two meters square, and is covered with a wooden board to block the fallen leaves and prevent the small animals around from stealing the water.

The location is cool.

The water seeped out from the mountain wall.

Pure mountain spring water.

Mr. Song lifted the wooden board, and suddenly a cool breeze came over him, which was really refreshing.

The pool is almost full of water.

The water is very clear, the kind that you can see the bottom.

I didn't see the toad from last night.

However, there were a few small fish floating on the water. I don’t know how long they had been dead, and they were emitting a fishy smell.

Mr. 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 wants to pick on you and poison your water, it would be difficult to find the murderer.

This kind of thing has happened in the village before.

But Mr. Song was a popular man in the village and had a certain prestige. If someone were to poison his house, there would be no one to suspect.

Therefore, Mr. Song still stubbornly believed that it must be the toad that was messing with him last night.

The death of the fish can only mean that the water quality has changed and is most likely poisonous.

Chen Yang pinched his nose and said, "I'm afraid this fish has been dead for more than a day or two, Second Master, don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?"

Mr. Song looked at Chen Yang with some confusion.

Chen Yang said, "Your family has been drinking water these days. This water has obviously been poisonous for more than a day or two. How come something bad happened today?" Master Song was stunned.

I didn't understand what Chen Yang was talking about for a moment.

He lifted up all the covers on the pool and fished out the dead fish.

Tick, tick!
Drops of water fell from above, drawing circles of different sizes on the surface of the pool.

Mr. Song looked up, and there was a hint of doubt in his old eyes.

"What's wrong?" Huang Can asked.

Master Song pointed to the top of the cliff, where there was a tree growing. A root stretched out from the cliff, and water was dripping down along the root and right into the pool.

Because the flow rate is not large, it only drips from time to time, and if you don't pay attention, it can be easily ignored.

“There might be something wrong with this tree.”

Mr. Song's eyebrows wrinkled like a worm.

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 an alien.

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, made a sudden dash, and managed to climb up the six or seven meter high cliff with his bare hands.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Song and Huang Can were both stunned and shouted, "Be careful."

Chen Yang gave them an OK gesture, stood up straight, and looked towards the osmanthus tree.

There is a grassland on the top of the cliff, but a large area of ​​it has dried up.

A small ditch washed out by a mountain spring extends all the way to the roots of the osmanthus tree.

The water came down from higher up in the woods.

"Second Master, come up and take a look."

Chen Yang shouted, he probably understood what was going on.

After a while, Mr. Song and Huang Can found a way and reached the top of the cliff.

Seeing the situation in front of him, he was also confused.

"It looks like it was a small ditch washed out by the recent rain. What a coincidence that it ran to your water source."

Chen Yang pointed to the small ditch that extended into the forest above, which was obviously washed out not long ago, and explained to Mr. Song Erye.

In fact, he didn't even need to explain, Mr. Song understood what was going on.

Maybe it’s not the water source that’s problematic, but that the water source is polluted.

It was polluted by the sudden appearance of water vein in front of it.

It is common for water courses in the mountains to change course. If you encounter this, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

"Chen Yang, look..."

At this time, Huang Can called Chen Yang and pointed above the forest.

Chen Yang looked in the direction of his finger and saw a cliff above the dense forest.

That cliff looks familiar.

"Tiger Leaping Over the Cliff?"

Chen Yang frowned, and then he realized that going up from here would lead to Tiger Leaping Cliff.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that both of them looked serious, Mr. Song asked in confusion.

Tiger Leaping Cliff, poisonous toad.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the poison in the water is probably related to the poisonous toad at Tiger Leaping Cliff.

Huang Can gave Mr. Song a general idea.

After hearing this, Mr. Song's beard almost flew up, "I told you, it was that toad that was causing trouble."

He was so angry that he was about to go up the mountain, ready to have a bloody fight with the Toad.

But after hearing about Xue Qi's tragic condition that day, Mr. Song stopped again.

"A toad is a toad, but it may not be the same one."

At this time, Chen Yang suddenly spoke.
