Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 423 Save the Three Branches River

Although it has been two or three days since the pollution incident, the river water still has a distinct red color, and you can smell a pungent smell when you get close.As for the plants on both sides of the river bank, they were completely withered, looking lifeless.From time to time, there are dead fish and rotten shrimps floating on the river surface, indicating that the river water is still highly toxic.

In the words of Xing Wenming, this section of the river has been "killed" by pollution, and it may take many years to recover.

Although the staff of the Environmental Protection Bureau will go to the river to take samples for testing every day to detect changes in water quality.However, even if you don't look at the test results, everyone knows in your heart that the river water must not meet the standard, not to mention being used for fish farming, and it can't even be used to irrigate farmland.

In order to ensure the supply of vegetables, Hu Qiang and others used tap water to irrigate the fields these days. The huge expenses made them feel distressed, and every time they watered, they had to scold those who illegally discharged sewage.

The most anxious person is Xing Wenming, the director of the fish pond. It has been a while since the last time the fish pond was changed. If the water cannot be changed, the survival rate of the fish may be affected.

In fact, Zhao Lei is not very worried about this point, after all, there are purple gold gourds, as long as you add fairy dew to the fish pond, the survival of the fish can be guaranteed.

In fact, what worries Zhao Lei even more is that the polluted river water is gradually seeping into the soil on both sides of the river.This will pollute the land of Xianhu Company, which is what he is most worried about.

However, neither the Environmental Protection Bureau nor the temporary expert group set up by the municipal government has a definite plan on how to deal with the polluted river section.

This also made Zhao Lei very anxious, feeling that he could not delay any longer, but had to figure it out on his own.

If it was a year ago, Zhao Lei would be completely helpless about this kind of thing.But now that he has Zijin gourd, he has a lot of options, and he can think of a way.

Zhao Lei thought about this for a long time, and finally made up his mind to quietly leave home in the middle of the night and go upstream along the Sancha River.Although several days have passed, the river water still exudes a pungent smell, which makes people want to cough.

Zhao Lei came all the way to the source of the pollution before stopping. He spread his palm carefully, and there was a leaf in his palm.Even under the moonlight, one could see that this leaf reflected the bronze-colored metal light, and it was Zhao Lei who picked it from the vermilion fruit tree.

Now the only vermilion fruit is not yet ripe, and Zhao Lei is worried that the aura contained in the fairy dew is not enough to completely purify the polluted river, and only the leaves of the vermilion fruit tree can be used.

Although the vermilion fruit tree has more than a dozen leaves, the number is much more than vermilion fruit, but it is very limited after all, and it is much more precious than fairy dew.So this time using vermilion fruit leaves to extract the polluted river also made Zhao Lei feel a little distressed.

However, thinking about the situation of Xianhu Company, the environment on both sides of the river and so many affected residents, Zhao Lei finally made up his mind, looked at the red fruit leaves in his hand and muttered to himself: "My buddy also invested a lot of money. Don't let me down..."

As Zhao Lei spoke, he followed the method recorded on the fourth jade tablet, using the vermilion fruit leaves, breaking off the petiole of the leaves, and throwing the leaves into the river.

Although the leaves of the Zhuguo tree seemed light and weightless, they made a soft "plop" when they fell into the river, as if Zhao Lei had thrown a stone into the river.

It's amazing that although the sound of falling into the water is like a stone, the red fruit leaves are still floating on the water, which makes Zhao Lei a little more hopeful about whether the red fruit leaves can purify the river.

Regardless of the pungent smell of the river, Zhao Lei stood by the river with his eyes wide open, observing the changes in the leaves of the red fruit trees.Under the bright moonlight, he could clearly see that the leaves floating on the vermilion fruit tree were rapidly dissolving, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

On the surface of the river, a layer of light bronze reflection appeared, slowly drifting downstream along the current.Zhao Lei hurriedly followed downstream, but soon discovered that the reflection was rapidly fading, and soon disappeared completely.

What pleased Zhao Lei was that the pungent smell in the air was rapidly fading away.After a gust of wind blew, the uncomfortable smell completely dissipated, and the fresh air made Zhao Lei feel refreshed.

Looking at the river water that was gradually becoming clear again, Zhao Lei also had a gratified smile on his face, and couldn't help muttering to himself in a low voice: "It's a success, this vermilion fruit leaf is finally useless!"

In fact, to Zhao Lei, a leaf of vermilion fruit is not a small price.However, he still feels very relieved to be able to restore Sanchahe to its original state.

After all, the condition of this river is related to the health of many people along the coast, and it is also the main water source of Xianhu Company. It is worth paying the price of a red fruit leaf to restore it, in Zhao Lei's opinion.After solving the major crisis facing the company, Zhao Lei also went home to rest contentedly.

The next day, just after dawn, the worried Xing Wenming came to the company.Since the river was polluted, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night. He came to the company early every day, hoping to see the river become clear again.

However, the pollution situation has not improved, and the river still has a pungent smell. Not to mention it is used for fish farming, even if it smells for a long time, it will make people feel dizzy.

However, just when Xing Wenming began to lose confidence, God gave him a surprise.When he came near the fish pond today, he unexpectedly didn't smell that pungent smell!

Xing Wenming subconsciously quickened his pace and came to the river. When he saw the slowly flowing river, his face was filled with joy, and he couldn't help but looked up to the sky and shouted: "God opened his eyes!"

The news that Sancha River became clear soon spread.The staff of the Environmental Protection Bureau and members of the expert team rushed over, and after seeing the restored river with their own eyes, they were all stunned with surprise.

The pollution situation was very serious this time. Experts agreed that it would take at least half a year to clean up the pollution by relying on the self-cleaning ability of the Sancha River.The pollution deposited in the river bottom silt will exist for decades, causing long-term impact on water quality.

However, it has only been one night now, and the river seems to have returned to normal, no wonder everyone is so surprised.

However, the experts and the Environmental Protection Bureau immediately decided to take samples of the river water and the silt at the bottom of the river to determine the current situation of the Sancha River.

Everyone is anxiously waiting for the test results, only Zhao Lei is not in a hurry.He had no doubts about the effect of the vermillion fruit leaves, and believed that the results of the test would definitely give everyone a sigh of relief.

However, before the test results came out, Zhao Lei received a call from Liu Yuanzhao, the director of the County Public Security Bureau, who told him even more shocking news. Sun Hongxin and Sun Youjie's father and son were released!
