Longdao County Public Security Bureau, Xinying Police Station.

Director He Pingyuan put down the phone and walked out of the office, opened the aluminum alloy window and shouted downstairs: "Lao Chang, Tianzhi, the instructor has received someone and is rushing back." If you don't cook at night, you all go to the Ermei Hotel to pick up the comrades who came to the Yanyang City Public Security Bureau to communicate, you should hurry up and do some hygiene, especially the toilet, clean it, it's really not good to flush with some water. ”

Colleagues from big cities come to communicate with each other to do a good job of hygiene.

The policeman who handled the case often ran to the corner and picked up the broom, raised his head and asked, "Where is it, how many people are here?"

"One," He Pingyuan felt the need to explain it clearly to his comrades, and couldn't help laughing: "The policeman who came to us to communicate is surnamed Han, called Han Chaoyang, and he is quite famous on the Internet. Although he is still in the probation period, he has performed well and has become popular on the Internet, and is known as the most handsome policeman in Yanyang. The leader of the Yandong Branch asked him to come to us to study with him, which shows that he is the key training object of the Yandong Branch. ”

"The most handsome policeman in Yanyang, what is he, how handsome is he?" Zhang Tianshen couldn't help but ask.

"I know from a search on the Internet, I guess I must be more handsome than you, no kidding, hurry up and get clean. ”

"He, there is another question, where does he stay at night?"

"In the residence," He Pingyuan, who was about to clean up, turned around and said: "Considering the difficult conditions of our rural police station, they may not be able to get used to it, the original plan was to let them live in the county seat, and planned to let us pick up and deliver them every morning." As a result, their leaders disagreed, saying that they should have the appearance of learning from the class. ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, but the leaders of the accommodation problem bureau took it into account, and specially helped them buy bed sheets, bedding and some daily necessities, and there are both rooms and beds upstairs, and they can live in it after tidying up. ”

"Thankfully, they're here this year, and if we had left last year, we wouldn't have known what to do. "Now this two-story building was completed and put into use this spring, thinking of the office conditions last year, I often feel a lot of emotion while cleaning the yard.

Zhang Tianshen went to college in a big city for four years, and after seeing the world, he couldn't help laughing: "Lao Chang, for you and me, the current conditions are very good, very good, but in the eyes of others, our conditions are estimated to be not as good as good." ”

"In addition to the traffic is not very convenient, there are no people who are not as lively as the big city, and I don't think it is worse than the big city in other aspects!"

"It's not enough to not have the bustle of a big city, and if you don't believe it, he's definitely not used to it. ”

……

When he arrived in Longdao County, Han Chaoyang finally knew what it meant to be vast and sparsely populated, and finally had an intuitive and profound concept of how large the area under the jurisdiction of the Longdao County Public Security Bureau was.

It took 16 hours to take a train from Yanyang to Xinlan City, and it only took seven hours for the high-speed railway under construction to be completed; it took only two hours to take the car sent by the Longdao County Public Security Bureau from Xinlan City to the county bureau.

But it is far from the county seat to Xinying Township, which is said to be nearly a three-hour drive.

In the police car driven by Instructor Hang of the Xinying Police Station, I set off from a county town that is not even a small town, and I saw that it was surrounded by loess, no vegetation, no rivers, and all dirt mountains.

The winding road winds so winding that you can see pedestrians and vehicles at first, but it is difficult to see people and cars when you drive, and there are mountains of dirt that look like knives cut on one side and cliffs on the other.

Turn left and right, turn around, very bend is not only sharp but also steep, no bit of technology really dare not open.

Walking and walking and there was no signal again, Han Chaoyang put down his mobile phone and asked curiously: "Instructor, what are these holes on the side of the road for, I have seen many of them along the way, gloomy, is it that people are dead, dig a hole in the mountain, and stuff the coffin directly into it?"

Instructor Hang subconsciously looked at the side of the road, leaned on the steering wheel and said with a smile: "The imagination is very rich, guess wrong, these are not coffin holes, they are water cellars, they are all dug before, and when it rains, the rain will flow down the surface to the cellar." In the past, there was no current condition, reluctant to use cement yellow sand, just dig one, the bottom will leak, the top will evaporate, it can't be preserved for a long time, and now it's all abandoned, and no one uses it. ”

It turned out to be filled with water, Han Chaoyang thought about it and asked: "Instructor, the left side is so steep, the mountain is so high, or is it a dirt mountain, will you step down?" In the small village I passed by just now, many houses are also built on the mountainside, some are high and some are low, and behind the houses is the dirt mountain, what if it rains and causes a mudslide?"

It's unfounded!

But it is also understandable, after all, he has never been to the Great Northwest and has never been to the Loess Plateau.

Instructor Hang lit a cigarette and patiently explained: "Xiao Han, the terrain of our Longdao County is dominated by ravines and valleys, with an altitude of more than 2,200 meters, an annual rainfall of about 350 mm, and an evaporation of more than 1,600 mm. If there are a few heavy rainstorms that can cause mudslides every year, it really doesn't hurt for us. ”

"No rain?"

"It's down, but it's less. ”

"I didn't see the river all the way, it didn't rain much, how did the crops be watered, and what did people and animals drink?"

"Therefore, our farmers here depend on the weather for food, and the crops do not mention any watering at all, and as for the drinking water of people and animals, it mainly depends on rainwater collection. Every household has a water cellar, and some families have several. The new, spherical kind, generally built under the yard, can store dozens of cubic meters, under normal circumstances, there is not much problem with domestic water, but this year is not good, this year is a dry year, there is little rain, and many people's cellars are almost out of water. ”

"If people can't drink, what will happen to the crops?"

"The summer grain harvest has been exhausted, and the reduction of autumn grain production is estimated to be a foregone conclusion," thinking of those relatives and friends who were facing the loess with their backs to the sky, Instructor Hang sighed lightly: "The five-eye water cellar in my eldest brother's yard and outside the courtyard has been dry for half a month, but fortunately, only one neighbor is at home, and he can pick up two loads of water from the neighbor's water cellar every day to solve the problem in front of him." ”

"No wonder you can't see the green vegetation along the way, it turns out that there is a dry year. ”

"It's not your average dry year. ”

Instructor Hang said solemnly: "The precipitation in a normal year is about 350 mm, and the precipitation in a dry year is about 280 mm, and the precipitation in the county in the first half of this year is less than a fraction of that in a dry year. In some villages, the water cellars were all dry, and the villagers had no choice but to drive three horses to the towns and villages where there was water to buy water. Water is not particularly expensive, five dollars a piece. However, the cost of transportation is high, some have to run 50 or 60 kilometers, and the cost of water on one side is nearly 50 yuan, and the cost of water hauling and transportation in farther villages can reach 80 or 90 yuan. ”

Flood control can strengthen the embankment or something, how to resist drought?

There is no water source around, God does not rain, most of the farmers live on the mountainside, and they can't dig up the groundwater even if they dig down, Han Chaoyang finally realized how Instructor Hang's hair was messy and why the police uniform was so dirty.

Zheng secretly thought that after the Xinying Police Station, he must save water like his peers, and Instructor Hang suddenly smiled: "Xiao Han, you are our lucky star, as soon as you come to the meteorological station, you will say that there will be rain today and tomorrow." Looking at the sky and the clouds in the sky, the weather station should have made a good prediction. ”

Looking at the clouds and knowing the weather, I seem to have learned such a text when I was a child.

But Han Chaoyang had only studied the text, and when he looked up at the sky, he couldn't see that it was going to rain.

For people in drought, rain is a very important thing.

Instructor Hang slowed down the car, took out his mobile phone to look, confirmed that there was a signal, dialed a number, said a few words in the local dialect, and then said apologetically: "Xiao Han, I just told He that the front is not far from my house, my old mother is home alone, I will go back by the way to take a look, help her clean the yard, and wait for the rain to collect some water." ”

"Instructor, you're busy, and I'm not in a hurry. ”

He said that his home was not far away, but it was not close.

I turned left into a gravel road, drilled into a ravine, went around and around, went around for nearly half an hour, and finally saw a small mountain village that I couldn't see before. The driving skills are amazing, and the last section of the road is particularly steep, so that the average person can really overturn when they come to drive.

But before they reached his house, they parked the police car in front of a dilapidated donkey shed and the two started walking.

It's not so much a walk as it is a downhill rush, and if you don't keep your center of gravity and don't pay attention to your step, you'll fall on your heel. When you step on it, it's all dirt, and the thick places can drown over the uppers.

The leather boots are dirty, the pants are dirty, the loess wall is going downhill, the hands are dirty, and even the police uniforms on the body are dirty, like a fake gray face!

There were few people in the village, and all of them were old people.

I saw an old man seeing that there were clouds in the sky, and he was overjoyed to call his wife in the local dialect, and hurriedly cleaned his yard.

The rain here is so precious that Instructor Hang ran into a small courtyard surrounded by an earthen wall, spoke a few words in local dialect with the old lady who was cleaning the courtyard, and took the broom and started to work.

Sweep the floor, open the cellar door, take the pot and put it in the yard.

When he had finished, he ran into the house, found a shovel, ran up to the path behind the house, and built a side ditch out of earth, one end of which was connected to the road, and the other end of which reached the entrance to the water cellar behind his house...... A series of movements are orderly and tense, like a well-trained warrior.

"Xiao Han, let's go into the house and sit down. ”

"Instructor, are the preparations done?" Han Chaoyang was embarrassed when he wanted to help just now but didn't know what he could do.

"When it is done, as long as the water rises on the ground when it rains, there will be water in the cellar. ”

However, it backfired, the two chatted in the yard while accompanying the old lady to wait for the rain, but the sporadic falling rain stars were fleeting, Instructor Hang squatted down and touched the ground, and said helplessly: "I just got down the wet ground, I don't know if it is big in other places." ”

"Unless you take your mother to the house, there should be water. ”

"She's willing to go early," Instructor Hang got up and looked at the old mother who was talking to a few neighbors at the door, and said with a smile: "I saw the water cellar just now, and there is still some water, and she is alone, and it is no problem to persist for ten or twenty days." ”
