The orange smell in the stream is very faint, and it can hardly be smelled faintly.If it wasn't for Su Cibei's sense of taste that is different from ordinary people, it is estimated that he would not be able to smell the faint orange smell from these flowing streams.

Residents nearby do not plant fruit orchards, and this season is not the peak season for orange fruiting. It is really suspicious that there is such a smell of oranges for no reason.

Su Cibei and the others went up the stream to investigate, the smell of oranges in the stream became stronger as they went up, and when they were about to approach the house, even Zhang Hongyi could smell the smell in the water.

"How did that manager make that potion? How did he make the water smell like oranges? Did he think he was discharging sewage from a factory?" Zhang Hongyi wondered.

Su Cibei: "..."

He was also curious about this question.

The way of alchemy is extremely complicated, and if you are not careful, it will be completely useless.Every alchemist has experienced the tragic experience of destroying eggs in a furnace and burning all the medicinal materials that he worked so hard to find, and Su Cibei is no exception.

But the worst thing is that the medicine stove was blown up. How to do it will produce the effect of sewage discharge?

As an orthodox alchemist, Su Cibei fell into deep thought.

After a while, he struggled to answer: "Maybe...he is testing medicine?"

Zhang Hongyi: "...take the fish in the whole stream to test the medicine? Then what will happen if you eat the fish with traditional Chinese medicine?"

Su Cibei: "Probably... you will feel that the nearest fish has no bones?"

Zhang Hongyi: "..."

The two of them looked at each other, tacitly gave up the idea of ​​eating fish.

========

When I came back from the stream, I happened to meet the owner of the farmhouse coming out of the door.

"Two guests, have you come back from casting bait? How about it, the water in our Dahe Village is clearer than those in those big cities?" The boss is a hospitable middle-aged man, who looks rough but cooks well.

"You came back just in time, and the food is ready and put on the table. The group you came with is missing you two. If you don't come back again, I will go find you."

"There's no need to be so anxious." Zhang Hongyi smiled and unloaded the fishing rod he borrowed. "It's just such a road from here to the stream. If you go there, you'll know each other and you won't get lost. Besides, even if we find If you don’t get to the way back, just find houses along the way and ask if they’re okay, Uncle Ge, your house is so magnificent, it’s not easy to find it.”

He had a sweet mouth, knowing that the boss was very proud that his family could build such a magnificent small building, so he deliberately brought this up and boasted, and then he casually tried something lost.

Sure enough, the boss was very happy to be coaxed by him. Even though he knew that these boys from outside must have seen taller and more foreign-style buildings, but not many could praise him like this, and speak so sweetly and so deeply.

But when it comes to the people by the creek...

The boss hesitated for a while, looked left and right to see that there was no one around, pulled Zhang Hongyi over and said in a low voice: "Young man, I think you are a good boy, so I will tell you this."

"When you go fishing by the stream, you can go anywhere, even if you want to swim in the stream on a whim. But please, don't go to the old Zhao's house by the stream. That building has two floors, and the section on the top It’s only half built, you should have seen it when you passed by just now, let alone go in, it’s best not to even get close to it!”

"There, there is evil spirit!"

Su Cibei and Zhang Hongyi looked at each other, and he consciously took two steps into the courtyard, carrying a fishing rod to the neighbor who just borrowed something, to make room for Zhang Hongyi to play better.

Sure enough, seeing Su Cibei walk away, the boss revealed more.He didn't wait for Zhang Hongyi to ask, he continued on by himself.

"I know you guys from outside don't believe this, saying that we are feudal superstition, but that's outside too. If you come to the village, it's best to be taboo."

"Old Zhao's family is miserable. They gave birth to three sons and two daughters. They were considered a thriving family in our area. That house was built together with mine, but I didn't expect that God doesn't love people." .”

"The family went outside in a car, and there was a car accident. Half of the people in the car died. They didn't keep any of them, and they all carried them back and buried them on the mountain. It didn't take long for someone to see their half-built dilapidated house. There are lights in the house, but when everyone is dead, where does the light come from?"

"Our village also sent people to look at it, but there was no one at all. But when walking at night at night, many people said that they saw figures wandering in the room. Everyone said that it was the people from the old Zhao family who died. It's too miserable, and the ghosts linger in their house."

"If you ask other people about this, no one is willing to tell you. You, don't talk nonsense if you know it, let alone I told you, just have fun for a few days and then go home, that's fine."

Zhang Hongyi said heartily, if I dare to go home happily regardless of anything, I will know what it feels like to be laid off when I look back.But on the surface, he still showed the appearance of a frightened young man, and sent the boss away.

"Back? How's the fishing going?"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Wang Guoyao sitting on the stool with his legs crossed, squinting at him.He was mainly referring to Zhang Hongyi, Su Cibei didn't dare, because other people were watching him.

In order to find out the source of the orange smell, they came back a bit late.A table of them waited for them here, and when the food was a little cold, if they didn't say anything, it was indeed normal to be complained.

But he just wants to be skinny.

Zhang Hongyi grinned: "The fishing is really good, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the fish are raised by nature, whether they are braised or deep-fried, the taste is very good!"

Wang Guoyao felt a turbid air rising in his belly. If Gu Yanze hadn't been present, he would have greeted his subordinates and rushed forward, letting this furry know what the majesty of a leader is.

But Gu Yanze was still there, and he had to maintain Techu's face anyway, so he just stared at Zhang Hongyi with a cold face, and incidentally withheld all his year-end bonus in his heart, leaving nothing behind.

Zhang Hongyi felt the "murderous aura" gushing out from Wang Guoyao, and hurriedly remedied: "We didn't just focus on fishing, we still found something very important."

"What?" Wang Guoyao asked.

Zhang Hongyi: "Traces of the manager."

One word stirred up waves, and when Zhang Hongyi said this, the others almost jumped up.During this period of time, they walked around the village and explored all the places they suspected, but they still found nothing. In the end, it turned out that the two of them, a group of fun-oriented people, found someone first. It was really maddening. Not worth your life.

Wang Guoyao was about to get up immediately: "Where is the man? You have found him, so what are you going to do? We will go directly to catch him and interrogate him overnight."

"Don't worry," Su Cibei sat down next to Gu Yanze, calmly appeasing Wang Guoyao and the others without squinting, "It's useless to go now, you can only scare the snake away."

He told how they found out that there was a problem with the house by the stream, and mentioned what the owner of the farmhouse said just now and the smell of oranges in the stream.

"Unsurprisingly, the manager Zhao Wang is from the old Zhao family. He survived the car accident, but for some reason he didn't show up. Instead, he made the villagers think he was dead, and then hid secretly. In my own house, the whole village thought it was haunted."

"Later, he left the village again and went outside to work hard. By chance, he became the agent of the live broadcast company. Let me first assume that Zhao Wang's potion was made in the village, not by chance outside. , He knows the effect of the medicine, and he also knows the consequences of taking it directly, so he will experiment with diluting the medicine in the village."

This can also explain why there is an orange smell in the stream. Diluting the medicine and making it into a potion that has a little effect but is not fatal requires many experiments and slow adjustments.It's not that you can make it with just a little starch and orange flavor.

If the amount is not well controlled, the effect shown when it is first administered to people is not cartilage weight loss, but a human-shaped big twist.

What Su Cibei said made sense, and everyone nodded after hearing it.He was about to tell the two of them the topographic map of Dahe Village that he had checked by the way when they came back, but a cool hand directly reached out, clasped his wrist, rubbed it a few times, then pulled it up, interlocking fingers.

"..."

Su Cibei glanced at the prudish Gu Yanze, but didn't expose his childish behavior of secretly wanting to hold hands while being serious on the surface.

"Zhang Hongyi, draw a topographic map and tell us about what we just discovered."

"okay."

The young Zhang Hongyi thought that Su Cibei was giving him a chance to show off, so he gave him grateful eyes without any money, and cheered happily in his heart that Brother Su was indeed the best, and he did not forget to bring him with him at this time.

After he gets promoted and raises his salary, he must take Brother Su to have a good meal, happy and unrestrained!

It's a pity that poor Xiaozhang doesn't know that what awaits him are the little shoes from the leader and his brother Su's loving dog food.And now, he is still actively taking out his notebook to draw a simple road map.

In fact, the road map doesn't count, it's just a way for them to check when they come back.As mentioned earlier, the villagers in Dahe Village rely on farming for their livelihood, and occasionally earn some extra money by entertaining tourists. In fact, this kind of farming is also particular about it. If they just grow some rice and sweet potatoes, they will only Able to maintain basic livelihood.

Relying on the mountains and eating the mountains, what the villagers actually grow includes medicinal materials.

A few acres of land are dedicated to planting medicinal materials, and after a few years, the medicinal materials are mature and sold to specialized merchants. This is their main profit direction.

Su Cibei and the others just wandered around the medicine field by the stream. With Zhang Hongyi's excellent communication skills, they learned that the medicine field was very peaceful and there was no theft of medicinal materials. It has also been taken back and distributed to the villagers.

Although it is taboo that there is a problem with the house, there is nothing wrong with the field, and the villagers who received the field did not encounter any problems.This proves that the medicinal materials for making the potion were not picked from the fields, and it can be further speculated that Zhao Wang may not be the person who made the potion.

He must have gotten this potion from somewhere after surviving a near death, and after knowing its efficacy, he began to dilute it to make trouble.If this is the case, it proves that he has a lot of potions in his hand, which he can squander for research and give to those internet celebrities.

So where did these medicines come from?
