The pony asked: "How long can I get to the place?"
Ye Shaoyang thought about it: "In theory... less than a day."
The pony eyes wide open: "How is there theory in this stuff?"
"When you go to the county town, you have to take a black car into the mountain. Sometimes you can sit on it, sometimes you can't sit for a long time." Ye Shaoyang said, "Of course, this is a situation a few years ago. I didn't go back for a few years, I don't know."
The pony looks black. "Is your family living on Mars? It's so complicated."
After shaking for a few hours on the bus, after getting off the bus, the two went to a small county: Huai Shang County.
From the station, a black car driver immediately came up and shouted various names in local languages.
Although the Central Plains Mandarin is a little bit different, it is not much different from Mandarin. The pony can understand it.
Ye Shaoyang looked for a driver and first asked him how much he would go to the Jiang family gate in Mandarin. The driver said eighty. Ye Shaoyang said it again in the local language. The driver stunned and lost 40.
Ye Shaoyang greeted the pony behind the driver.
"You are not leaving home when you are five years old, how can you speak a dialect?" Pony asked a little puzzled.
"I will speak for three years, and I will say two years of dialects," Ye Shaoyang gave him a glance, saying: "The things I learned when I was young were the easiest to remember, and the locals were hard to change."
It is a black car. It is actually a small medium-sized bus. It is similar to the scrapped car. The pony is afraid to go up, but there are already a few people in the car.
After they went up, they occupied the back seat. After waiting for twenty minutes, the car went on. After 70% or 80%, the people in the car began to collectively rush. The driver waited for a while and saw no one getting on the bus. This is the start of the car.
The bus left the county town and drove along the asphalt road in the middle of a crop field.
Feeling closer to home, Ye Shaoyang is a little excited, although he has no home, but this hometown is still there.
Suddenly, the pony turned his arm and said, "Is your hometown in the desert?"
Ye Shaoyang frowned: "What do you mean?"
The pony rushed to the front of the passengers and said: "Or what do you buy so many mineral waters one by one?"
Ye Shaoyang looked at it. It was really, almost all the passengers had large buckets of pure water or a lot of mineral water under the seat, as well as various drinks.
At this moment, a three- or four-year-old girl sitting in their front row, because the car was shaking, sprinkled a can of drink, her mother immediately slapped her arm and yelled: "What to drink?" Drink, waste, know how much to buy!"
How much can a bottle of drink? Ye Shaoyang looked at the pony and felt that things were a bit unusual.
Xiaomadao: "Otherwise, ask what is going on."
Ye Shaoyang thought for a moment: "No hurry, get off the bus and say, anyway, they are all going to the Jiang family."
Jiang’s door is a town, not because there are many people surnamed Jiang. It’s just because there was a family named Jiang’s family who had a champion. The emperor gave him a memorial on the street, which looks like a gate. Later he was called Jiang. The door to the house, the name spread, and later became the town name.
Yejia Village, where Ye Shaoyang’s family is located, is still twenty miles away from the town. When the two got out of the car, the sky was already dark, and there was no car in the mountain, so Ye Shaoyang planned to spend the night in the town.
"Buy some water first." After the pony finished, he plunged into a small shop on the side of the road and asked for two bottles to activate.
No.
The boss is a middle-aged man in his forties, very simple.
Xiaomadao: "What kind of drink is there?"
The boss glanced at him and pointed to the two bottles of mineral water placed on the freezer. "Only this one, eight bottles."
"Eight?" The pony cried. "You are a black shop in the trough."
"The young man talks and pays attention. I don't want to sell the eight pieces. If I don't buy it, you can see if there is one in the town that is cheaper than what I sell."
Ye Shaoyang felt that it was wrong. He said in the local language: "Uncle, I just came home and didn't know, why is it so expensive to sell a bottle of mineral water?"
The boss listened to him and said that he had a good attitude. He looked up and down and said: "University, your family didn't call you to say it? The town is about to break water, only the Ali Reservoir has a little water.
Going to the south, there is no water at all. Now the water is more expensive than the oil. The mineral water is not fast enough. If you are really thirsty, take a bottle and drink it. Don't pay for it, but you can only give you a bottle.
"Xie Auntie, inquire, how can the town break water?"
The boss spreads both hands. "Ghosts know what is going on. From the previous month, the water level in the well has dropped again and again. Until last month, the deep wells did not come out. There was no rain in the ditch. The river is all dry, and the water in the town is now shipped from the county. You say more gold."
Ye Shaoyang remembered the scene he saw in the car. He finally understood that the passengers bought the water and went home to drink. So he asked: "Is there a reason for the drought?"
The boss sighed. "I also looked for the media. I also went to the government. I went down to an investigation team in the city. I haven’t had a clue for a few days. I said that it is a drought that has caught up with a hundred years. It’s no way, the county is now Send two water trucks every day to deliver water, and only enough for everyone to drink water, the daily use is not enough..."
The pony listened to him and said with surprise: "There is no running water in the town?"
"No, our town is also a hundred miles away from the nearest county town. There are many mountains. The cost of paving the water pipes is too high. Besides, we are not lacking in water. Every family has water wells, there are reservoirs in the mountains, and no one drinks tap water. .
After the drought, the city is actively laying water pipes, but it can not be done in a day or two. It can't be hydrolyzed. It is not only the town but the small villages in the south. The situation is more serious.
Ye Shaoyang inquired a few more words, thank you, left the store with the pony, went to the hotel.
The pony on the road asked: "What is it, do you often have a drought in the past?"
Ye Shaoyang shook his head. "In the Central Plains region, there has never been a real drought. This is very unusual."
The pony didn't take it for granted: "What's unusual, it doesn't rain, God's business, who manages it."
Ye Shaoyang sighed: "The past can be said without rain for three months, but why is the water in the well dried?"
The pony snorted: "Time is not raining, drying up."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless. "Your home well water is raining. Did you go to nature class in elementary school?"
"Oh... isn't it?" The pony caught up. "Then tell me, what other reasons can cause drought?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "There is at least one reason... drought."
