This summer, the weather was unusually hot. Less rain, more drought. In the whole rainy season, there are only a few rains, and it is not very heavy.

This is still the case in the wooded mountains, and the rain outside the mountains is even more pitiful. Large swaths of crops were exposed to the scorching sun all day long, exposed to the clear sky, and all of them drooped listlessly and lifelessly.

The ground was very dry, and the dry and hard ground cracked in a circle of cracks. Even the ditches of all sizes are restless.

Only a handful of weeds in the east and west were dying in the high temperature of steaming on the top and below. The town leaders regarded mobilizing the masses to grab water and fight drought as the overriding central task of the whole crackdown.

The whole people were mobilized, young and old, and a war against drought and disaster relief was launched. All work was largely suspended to make way for the drought.

All the cadres of the organs were driven to the villages and organized the villagers to fight the drought day and night.

There are also many schools that have taken holidays for this reason, so that the students and cubs go home to fight the drought and provide disaster relief. As a result, most of the villages are basically empty of ten households.

In the fields outside the village, there was a lot of people. During the day, the shadows are bright, and at night they are brightly lit. It is said that the water in the reservoir in the southwest corner of the town has been pumped by a pump to the point where it has almost bottomed out.

The ditches and rivers of great size have long since disappeared. There was only green mud left, and it was baked by the scorching sun and turned into a hard tile.

In other villages, water for people and animals has become a problem. The water in the well has been recklessly drained by the panicked people.

The water table has dropped dramatically, and there is no more water from the spring. Between individual villages, and between individual households in the village, in order to compete for water sources, most of them actually took action, and there were one big and small movement after another.

The people of Beishan No. 1 and No. 2 Villages, where the town is stationed, are used to bullying the market and tyrannical land on weekdays, so they join forces to bully the villages around the reservoir, wanting to monopolize the limited water source.

The red-eyed villagers in the surrounding villages risked their lives to fight with the townspeople who were usually foxes and tigers for the sake of food and survival.

Once the honest farmer is energetic, compared with the real one, the severity of his situation will be terrifying.

Not only men, women, and children went into battle, but also the hoes, pickaxes, and kitchen knives of every household also followed. Hurt people, shed blood, and almost got into a life lawsuit.

Fortunately, the people from the town police station arrived in time, fired shots into the sky, and arrested people everywhere, and finally barely controlled the situation.

From then on, a few hairy people in the town police station went to the places where there was a serious shortage of water to inspect the sky, and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.

If there is a disturbance because of the struggle for water, what can your public security personnel do? I had to arrest the people in the police station, lock them up for a day and a half night, and then bluff the donkey's face for a lesson, and then they had to release them.

First, it is difficult to verify that you are wrong about me because of this kind of fighting for water.

Second, your police station is also a place where you eat people's food and do things, so how can you bear to detain people and watch the crops in the fields die of drought and death and the people in your family die of thirst?

Of course not so. Public security is to maintain public order and the safety of the people's lives and property.

So, at this time, the lives and property of the people have been seriously threatened, what should I do, and release them as soon as possible.

Let them continue to fight fiercely in order to compete for the little bit of water that is more expensive than peanut oil. Subsequently, arrest people again, teach them a lesson, and release them again.

And so on, the cycle repeats, and the shaft keeps turning. [End of Chapter]
