Chapter 85
With her hands behind her back, Jiang Wan looked at the green hills in the distance.

"Old village chief, when did the water level start to drop?"

The village head replied without hesitation: "It has been at least eight months. The winter has almost dropped to the bottom. After the spring, the water level has risen again, but it is still less than before."

Jiang Wan knew in her heart that the water level of the underground river might have dropped, and the well was not deep enough to get water up.

"What about the other wells in the village? Is it the same?"

The village chief's back seemed to be bent a little further, "The water level is low, but it can still be used. Only Fukui is dry."

Jiang Jie couldn't help asking: "The water in the village is too inconvenient, why is there no running water?"

The village chief shook his head, "I can't pretend."

Professor Yang explained: "The tap water is installed according to the power flow, but the terrain of Mangu Village is too high, even if the water plant is willing to build a plant here, the tap water may not be able to flow to the households, and the construction of pressurized equipment, electricity bills, and maintenance The cost, the cost of the workers going up the mountain...it's not a small amount."

It would require at least several million, which the villagers in Manggu Village simply cannot afford given the annual income level of each household.

Jiang Jie blurted out and wanted to say that the money could come from their family, but Jiang Ao quickly punched him on the back of his waist, and said his impolite words back.

The village chief asked Jiang Wan anxiously: "Is the Fukui no longer able to produce water?"

Jiang Wan looked at the original Fukui site not far away. The original well had been filled in and a tree was planted inside.

"I think Fukui can still produce water. It may rain tomorrow. Let's see tomorrow. Don't worry." Jiang Wan said after pondering, "The location of Fukui is very good, so there is no need to move it. If there is no water, it may be due to an underground fault. It’s gone—I’m going to patrol the mountains in a few days to see what the problem is.”

"Good, good, good." The village chief said "good" three times in a row. It is good news that Fukui will not need to relocate.

The matter was temporarily settled, and Jiang Wan and others did not return to the back mountain immediately. The villagers enthusiastically allowed them to have breakfast. In the open space where the village meeting was held, the Jiang family imitated the villagers and sat down casually.

A bowl of hot, simple and fragrant cabbage soup for each person, even if communication is not so convenient, once you get acquainted, you can guess what the other person means just by looking at their expressions and body language.

After breakfast, Jiang Fangliang and Jiang Jiao visited the village chief's home, while Jiang Wan and others returned to the back mountain to prepare for the mountain patrol.

Professor Yang and Professor Hu had been looking for an opportunity to go to the mountains, but now they heard that Jiang Wan was going to patrol the mountains and they were very excited.

"when to go?"

"How many days?"

"How to determine the route?"

Jiang Wan was amused by their series of questions, and felt that they looked anxious like baby birds waiting to be fed.

"I'm going to get up early tomorrow, just to check the reason why the well water is cut off, and I'll be back in about three days." Jiang Wan's eyes dimmed. In the past, she would not go back to the village within a month when she patrolled the mountains, but now she is no longer Da. I am a mother-in-law, and the family members cannot leave the modern society for too long. During this time, the Jiang family has delayed too much work for her...

Something gently rubbed the side of her cheek, and Jiang Wan came to her senses. It turned out that it was Jiang Ao who was tickling her with a small flower.

"The air in the mountains is so nice, and any flower is very beautiful. If it wasn't for Wanwan, when would I be able to come to such a fairyland on earth for vacation?" Jiang Ao seemed to see through Jiang Wan's thoughts, smiling with crooked eyes: " My colleagues are almost envious of me, this year I have made up for all the previous vacations."

"That's right, I have nothing to do next, I can live in the mountains for a long time!" Jiang Jie came over with a melon in his arms, "Wan Wan, what is this, can I eat it?"

"I'll see if there's any sugar," Jiang Wan ran into the kitchen: "This melon dipped in sugar is delicious!"

The next day Jiang Wan got up early, woke up everyone else, and walked into the forest against the light rain in the morning.

The raindrops pattered on the leaves and raincoats, like white noise that lulls people to sleep.

"I really want to camp here, the quiet and lonely atmosphere, and then make a pot of coffee, or have a plate of fried chicken..." Jiang Jie sucked his saliva.

Jiang Ao: "Hey, you just want to eat."

Jiang Jiao pointed to the bamboo basket Jiang Wan tied on Xiao Tan's back and asked, "Wanwan, what is this for?"

"It's raining and there are a lot of mushrooms, you can pick them and eat them." Jiang Wan was looking at the ground under her feet. The leaves that had been knocked down by the rain and those that fell naturally covered the soil layer by layer. Different mushrooms are hidden in it.

"Wanwan, what kind of mushroom is this?" Jiang Jie asked Jiang Wan about the big white and fat mushroom in his hand.

"Chicken fir." Jiang Wan handed it to him, "You can eat it."

"Is this a chicken fir?!" Jiang Jie compared it with his palm in surprise, "This is too big."

"Wan Wan, what about this?" Bai Suyi also found out, "It looks like an egg tart~"

"It's a slippery fungus." Jiang Wan took a look and replied.

"Can I pick it?"

"Okay, pull it up from the root."

Bai Suyi followed her instructions. Unexpectedly, with a little force, the cap of the slippery fungus slipped off. Bai Suyi suddenly realized, "It's so slippery, no wonder it's called 'slippery'."

Jiang Fangliang at the back saw a brown mushroom bigger than his face, "Wanwan, is this Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Yes, giant ganoderma." Jiang Wan waved at him, "Pick it off, and you can make wine when you go back."

Jiang Fangliang quickly rolled up his sleeves and carefully picked off the Ganoderma lucidum.Given the financial resources of the Jiang family, Ganoderma lucidum is not a rare item, but discovering the Ganoderma lucidum picked by himself is of extraordinary significance.

"Wanwan, is this the one with the red umbrella, the white pole, and the one after eating the plank?" Jiang Jie suddenly asked excitedly.

"No, although it looks similar, it is not a poisonous mushroom, and not all brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous."

"Xiao Wan is right. Whether this mushroom is poisonous can be determined by whether it has homogeneous rings..." Professor Hu strongly agreed with Jiang Wan, and then began his science popularization.

Because mountain patrolling is not a rush, they don't need to rush in the rain, just like an ordinary outing, enjoying the fun of exploring and discovering in the mountains.

While they were enjoying themselves, a man came to the village.

"Jiang Erwa, why did you suddenly come back from Xincun?" a woman asked curiously.

"Cousin, there is an opportunity to make money, will you make money?" the man asked.

"It's strange, you miss me when something good happens." The woman didn't care much, "By the way, you have played with Jiang Pizi since you were a child, do you know when he will come back?"

"I know where to go." Jiang Erwa quickly changed the subject, "Cousin, what I said is true, you can make a lot of money! Someone will use a camera to film you, just read what they write... …”

The woman scolded him: "I don't know how to read."

"It doesn't matter, let me teach you, just call Jiang Wan a white-eyed wolf, and say that she doesn't care about the well-being of the folks when she goes out, and eats well and drinks by herself..."

"Isn't this a lie!" The woman was surprised, picked up the broom and was about to beat him: "Jiang Erwa, tell the truth, did you follow Jiang Pizi to do bad things?!"

"Cousin sister-in-law! Cousin sister-in-law! Listen to me, do you know how much it costs to shoot this sentence?!" The man was anxious, "You don't even think about how hard it is for your cousin to work in the city. You can't spend money in the mountains. But a house in the city costs tens of thousands of dollars per square meter! It would be great to be able to make money by just saying a few words!"

The woman moved her lips, hesitated for a long time and said, "Let me think about it..."

"After passing this village, there is no such shop. Cousin, don't even think about it. Invite a few more people to make money together."
