Shudu County, Bazhou city.
A clear river meanders through the villages and towns on both sides.
People in villages and towns gathered around the highway along the river and looked at Hanoi.
"Ah, when did the water in the river become clear? I remember the river was black when I was young."
An old man lay trembling on the guardrail and looked at the clear river below through the gap of the guardrail.
This river is called Wushui river.
I'm afraid it's difficult to verify when it became Wushui River, but the water suddenly became clear a few days ago.
At first, people just thought that it rained too much upstream, causing the river to fade.
But five days later, the river is still clear.
This is a little strange.
"It's good to clear, it's good to clear. Now take a sip directly and don't feel sick."
The aunt on one side narrowed her eyes. Almost all the old people around grew up eating the water of the river from childhood.
The water looks dark at present, but the water scooped out is still clean. Every time I drink water, I don't want to think of the color of the river, but I still feel sick.
Finally, from now on, you can drink the water in the river.
The people looked at the clear river and the swimming fish in the river, and their faces showed a happy look.
Some people have even gone to the river to drink with a handful of water on their lips.
Just when everyone was happy about this, not far from the river, a pregnant woman suddenly lost her eyes and stared at the river with dementia.
Hold your stomach with both hands and move towards the edge step by step.
"Hey, girl, what are you doing?"
When people around saw the pregnant woman walking to the river for no reason, they were filled with doubts.
Just about to reach out and pull, the pregnant woman suddenly turned over and fell off the bridge in an instant.
"Ah --"
The women around suddenly screamed:
"Someone fell!"
"Is there anyone who can swim! Help save it!"
When they looked for prestige, they saw only a waving arm and a ball of water soaked hair in Hanoi.
"Poop!"
"Poop!"
Several young people with good water quality immediately climbed over the fence, jumped into the river and swam towards the figure in the river.
"My God! Who knows this woman? Call the man at the head of her house!"
"I know! I'll go."
The man hurried through the crowd towards a small restaurant.
Several young people in the river kept approaching the pregnant woman in the water, but the figure became weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared completely from the clear river.
"I said ~ I broke the ghost ~"
The middle-aged man on one side was closer to the scene, clearly watched the woman fall into the water, and then disappeared gradually.
"Well... The water is so clear that you can't see people?"
The man looked puzzled. Several young people under the water dived into the bottom of the river one after another. After going back and forth several times, they couldn't find anything.
A few minutes later, the young man in the river reluctantly climbed out of the river and didn't salvage anything.
A man rushed into a shop whose door read "Zheng's noodle shop" from the river. Looking around, he saw only an old lady with noodles.
"Where's Lao Zheng?"
The man hurriedly went into the back kitchen and leaned over the old lady who had some trouble in her ears and asked.
The old lady looked up:
"Lao Zheng? He went shopping. What's the matter?"
Seeing that the old lady was old, the man lied at will and ran to the vegetable market.
From a distance, I saw a tall figure with a snake skin bag on his shoulder:
"Lao Zheng! Lao Zheng - something's wrong!"
A man panted and ran to the vegetable market, shouting and running towards the man.
The tall man suddenly looked up and was immediately caught by the messenger.
The man pointed to the river:
"Your mother-in-law... Your mother-in-law... Rolled into the river...!"
Then the man held his knee and gasped.
As soon as Lao Zheng's face changed, a big snake skin bag full of vegetables fell to the ground.
Rushed in the direction pointed by the man:
"Excuse me, excuse me..."
The man roared, and his rough voice gradually turned into a cry.
At this time, not far from the crowd, a man twisted his moustache at the corner of his mouth and smiled sadly:
"Hey, hey... I didn't expect that the task assigned by Rose adult was completed so easily. These fools really think it's a good thing that the river water becomes clear?"
Looking at the man kneeling down by the river, the man turned and walked slowly towards the distance.
"Start again!"
The crowd dispersed slowly, and several old ladies were talking in a shady corner.
The old lady in plaid agreed mysteriously:
"It's said that hundreds of years ago, the river 'ate people', and now it will eat people again."
Another old lady with glasses quickly put her hand to her mouth:
"Don't talk nonsense! It's not a good thing. There's nothing to talk about!"
"Ah! You just like to worry blindly. Things have happened. What can't be said."
A thin old lady suddenly clapped the hand of the old lady with glasses and shook the old lady with fear:
"Today, this is another pregnant woman. This is the seventh pregnant woman who fell into the river."
The lattice old lady looked at her curiously:
"Seventh?"
"Well, it's only four or five days since the river became clear. Many people have died. They were all pregnant women."
"Ah, I heard that when the river just turned dark, it used to eat married female dolls. Now it starts to eat pregnant women again."
……
Bazhou branch of Bazhou special events administration.
Ye Yi, who returned to Bazhou from Kyoto, saw his colleagues coming to meet him from a distance.
"Lao ye, why did you come back?"
Ye Yi's friend Chen Feng rushed up and hit him on the shoulder.
The Deputy Secretary patted Ye Yi on the shoulder:
"What are you doing back, young man?"
He believes that young people should not go back to the mountains after they finally get out of the mountains.
"There's nothing good in the city. Bazhou has mountains and water and fresh air. It's much better than Kyoto."
Ye also smiled, followed the crowd to the branch canteen, simply ordered a few dishes, and sat down with the sound of cooking.
"Kyoto, didn't you stay?"
"Yes."
Ye Yi picked up the cup and dried a cup of happy water:
"I still want to go back to Shudu. The world has changed recently. I'm afraid there will be big trouble soon. I'm still willing to stay in Shudu and protect the people in Shudu."
"Well..."
The deputy director pondered for a moment, his eyes full of admiration:
"Now there are not many young people like you who are willing to stay in the valley."
Ye also shook his head:
"Our Bazhou city is also very good. The state now vigorously supports the mountain tourism. Sooner or later, the mountain valley of Bazhou will also develop."
Suddenly, ye also had a picture in his mind:
"Speaking of tourism, are there many tourists coming to see the Wushui River recently? When I came back, I saw that the Wushui river was crowded everywhere."
Chen Feng replied casually:
"There are no tourists. They are all locals."
"Huh?"
Ye Yi's face was full of doubts and asked curiously:
"The locals have seen the Wushui river for half their life. What are they doing around the Wushui River these days?"
Chen Feng shook his head:
"Of course, the Wushui river became clear. The Wushui river became clear a few days ago. At first, they thought it was heavy rain upstream. As a result, they didn't recover in the past five days, and then they gathered around the river to watch."
Ye Yixin was surprised. The river has been dark for decades. What is clear?
"Strange? The Wushui river has been black for hundreds of years. How can it suddenly become clear? Is there anything else strange in Bazhou recently?"
"Huh?"
Chen Feng was surprised:
"How do you know? There are really many strange things in Bazhou these days!"
