Chapter 248 The Origin of the Pit
Lu Xiujie is an entertainment anchor with few celebrities.

His few fans call him Little Donkey, a donkey with a donkey temper.

Like the vast majority of anchors who enter the live broadcast industry on a whim and want to earn pocket money, he has neither good looks nor special talents.Sometimes I can't even tell jokes well, and I don't dare to make pornographic jokes at will. It's strange that the popularity will be high.

If there is no popularity, there will be no money to get it, and if there is no money to get it, there will be no motivation to live broadcast.Therefore, in the past few days, Lu Xiujie only thought about enjoying a leisurely vacation in Yangxin Valley by himself, and didn't think about broadcasting any live broadcast.

Not long ago, he suddenly learned that three elephants in Yangxin Valley had fallen into the mud and needed rescue.Like most people, he followed, just to see if he could be of any help.

After all, he likes to raise the animals in Xingu, especially after he has touched the mighty cloth tiger with his own hands, he feels that he is very responsible to help.

Before setting off, everyone was in high spirits, imagining that they could show off their skills like the superheroes in the movies.

However, the tumbling and scrambling along the way made those well-dressed handsome men and beautiful anchors with huge fans suffer so much that they withdrew from the rescue team under the persuasion of fans.On the contrary, Lu Xiujie followed silently like a donkey.

As a result, after finally arriving at the place where the elephant was trapped, everyone in Yangxin Valley left them as tourists and just performed their duties.

Those who cut bamboo cut bamboo, those who cut bamboo strips cut bamboo strips, those who tied valves tied valves, and even Wen Lan's husband, the legendary future patriarch of Yangxin Valley, all went to the battle to dig up the mud, but they were foreign tourists. Being hung up next to him was of no help at all.

Fortunately, Lu Xiujie just learned that everyone will need to work together to help pull the elephant out of the mud, otherwise he really won't be able to stand.

As a child who grew up in the countryside, it was not his little donkey's habit to just be a dictating land uncle.

Anyway, if there is nothing to do, let's start the live broadcast.

Lu Xiujie muttered, thinking that it would be nice to let his hundreds of fans see what "bamboo water" is, and the green scenery here in Yangxin Valley.

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to hang the title of "Rescue Elephants in Yangxin Valley Live" on the live broadcast room, and within a few minutes, his live broadcast room with only double-digit viewers flooded into the audience like a tide.

From tens to hundreds to thousands, and then breaking through tens of thousands, until hundreds of thousands, and now millions, it only takes ten minutes.

what's the situation?
Lu Xiujie was at a loss, he couldn't figure out what happened.But the dense barrage in the live broadcast room explained everything. He really has a lot of viewers now, up to a million, and they are still alive.

"Little donkey, everyone has a love for beauty. While the beauty of Yangxin Valley is free, hurry up and interview her. I think the audience will like to watch it." Lu Xiujie's die-hard fan, the owner of the house, hurriedly chatted privately to remind him .

Lu Xiujie hesitated for two seconds, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that Su Qing had walked over by herself.

"Hello to all the viewers in the live broadcast room. I am a local from Yangxin Valley, my name is Su Qing, and I am sunny on a sunny day." Su Qing introduced herself generously, "As the live broadcast room said, we are now saving three people who are in trouble. Elephant in distress. Thank you for your concern.”

Millions of live broadcast viewers, if operated well, can be converted into the most direct tourists in the future.No matter how bad it is, it can still leave a good impression on the audience, so it should be regarded as an advertisement.

Su Qing thought about it in this way, and she cheered up even more at the moment.

Lu Xiujie was also refreshed seeing his follower count and audience increasing steadily.

"Miss Su, many viewers in the live broadcast room are asking this question, have elephants or other animals in Yangxin Valley ever been in such a predicament before?"

"No." Su Qing shook her head.

She pointed in the direction of Fairy Lake.

"The Fairy Lake over there has a large wetland for all kinds of birds to inhabit, but Niu Niu and the others will not go there to disturb those waterfowls. Except for the wetland by the Fairy Lake, there is no place like a swamp in the valley. Yes. It is said that this is the first time that the elephants and all the animals in Yangxin Valley have been trapped in such mud."

Lu Xiujie pointed in front of him suspiciously, "This place can swallow an elephant more than two meters high, isn't it a swamp?"

"This is really not a swamp, it's just a slightly larger mud pit." Su Qing gestured around the big mud pit, "Everyone can take a closer look, it has straight long sides and wide sides, it was built artificially a long time ago pond."

Lu Xiujie quickly followed Su Qing's hand and took pictures around the pit to let the audience see the situation clearly.

Su Qing continued to introduce.

"However, this large pond has been abandoned for more than 20 years. In summer, there are frequent torrential rains in this area. Once the river overflows the embankment, some sediment and leaves will be moved. It has been like this for many years."

Lu Xiujie nodded, and couldn't help asking curiously: "You people from Yangxin Valley have introduced before that such a large pond is not a fish pond for raising fish. May I ask Miss Su, what was it used for originally. "

Su Qing hesitated for a moment before slowly answering: "This pit was originally used to make lime slurry."

"Lime mortar for building?"

Lu Xiujie grew up in the countryside, so he quickly understood what Su Qing meant.

In the past, some poor places usually couldn't afford cement when building houses, or there was no cement to sell in poor rural areas.

They also want to build a tall blue brick house, such as the ancestral temple, and they will dispatch the villagers to search for limestone (calcium carbonate).Then the limestone was transported back with great pains, and put into the dug pool to generate lime slurry (calcium hydroxide). After cooling and sedimentation, it can be taken out to build houses.

The green brick houses built in this way are very strong, and are usually white and pleasing to the eye.

However, Lu Xiujie looked around suspiciously.

"This place is far away from your village. There are no large buildings around. Why did you build such a large limestone pond here?"

"This..." Su Qing's eyes drifted a little.

The wildfire more than 20 years ago severely damaged the entire Yangxin Valley.In just two or three years, a third of the villagers were buried in the ancestral graves of Yangxin Valley.

Those who died abnormally can usually enter the ancestral graves, but when the graves are repaired, they are usually covered with thick white lime, collectively called white graves.With so many white tombs built together, it is only possible to build a huge limestone pond nearby.

Su Qing thought about it, and subconsciously touched her right arm.

Back then, she was not much older than the current Su Xiaoniu, so she had to follow the surviving parents to pick heavy limestone far away, just like Su Wu, Su Hai, and other cousins.On the way back, she accidentally fell into a deep ditch, leaving a deep scar on her right arm.

"Well, I'm not as old as this pit, so I really don't know much about it." Su Qing lied.

She didn't want to tell the outside world about Yangxingu's painful past.

After finishing speaking, Su Qing couldn't help but add another sentence.

"Anyway, when you go to the major scenic spots, whether it's our Yangxin Valley or other places, especially when you enter the forest area, you must pay attention to fire safety."

Lu Xiujie was confused, so he tried to ask.

However, Su Qing just smiled lightly, still not intending to answer.

He raised his head thoughtfully and looked around.

It's just surrounded by high mountains, and there are lush forests everywhere, and there is nothing unusual about it.
