Li Rui stared at the wastewater for a while, and sneered: "Even if I have returned the chemistry knowledge I learned in middle school to the chemistry teacher, I also know that there is definitely a problem with this wastewater, how can there be black silt at the bottom of the water? ”

Liu Erkui scolded angrily: "It's obvious, the scum of the District Environmental Protection Bureau has collected the black money from the chemical plant." If I were a leader, I would call the guys in charge of testing from the district environmental protection bureau and ask them to stand at the wastewater discharge outlet and give me a drink! ”

Li Rui knows that the wastewater meets the requirements of environmental protection discharge, which does not mean that the wastewater can be drunk, so Liu Erkui's idea is a bit extreme, but as a victim, there is nothing wrong with thinking like this, if it is replaced by himself, I am afraid that he will only think like this, and said: "Old village chief, is there anything else to see nearby?"

Liu Erkui pointed to the northwest direction of the Sangbai River and said, "Go, go down, there is still something to see over there." After speaking, he led the way first, and went down the ridge into the river.

The two walked more than 200 meters in the river, and had bypassed the chemical plant more than 50 meters away, at this time there were many large pits on the gravel ground of the river in front of them, each of which was the size of a house, and there were a lot of dark blue sealed plastic buckets in it, some of the blue buckets were neatly placed, and some were stacked randomly in a disorderly manner, so some of the plastic buckets had been opened, and colorful things appeared inside, similar to rubber particles, and like garbage, which was very strange.

Li Rui walked to a big pit, stared at these blue buckets, and asked, "What is in this bucket?"

Liu Erkui said that this is the production waste of the chemical plant, at the beginning, that is, the first two years after the establishment of the chemical plant, the chemical plant also pulled the chemical waste to the industrial waste harmless treatment plant in the Gaokai District for processing, and then may consider the cost of the relationship, do not go, pull the waste out of the factory, secretly buried in the river, similar pits dug hundreds, has been filled with fifty or sixty, those filled pits are covered with sand and gravel, from the surface can not be seen at all.

Li Rui was shocked and angry, and said: "Everyone knows that chemical waste cannot be buried directly on the spot, let alone buried in a river closer to the groundwater, which is not clear about polluting the groundwater? In order to maximize profits, this chemical plant really destroys the conscience of human nature. ”

Liu Erkui said angrily: "I guess that these wastes, as well as the wastewater that has just flowed into the river and seeped into the ground, are the main culprits that caused the groundwater in our village to be polluted. Li Rui gritted his teeth and said: "The director of this chemical plant is not wronged even if he is shot a hundred times." Liu Erkui said: "Director Li, let's go, go back, I'll take you to the village to see the groundwater in our village." But after a while, you can only see and smell, but you must not drink, and if you drink it, you will get cancer. Li Rui wanted to laugh when he heard this, but his heart was so heavy that he couldn't laugh at all, sighed, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

The two returned to the village, but Liu Erkui didn't dare to go home, but found a familiar farmer and took Li Rui into the courtyard.

The owner of this house, who was working in the yard, was a man in his thirties and forties, and when he saw Liu Erkui coming in, he was very surprised, and stepped forward to greet him, shouting: "Second uncle, why did you come out? Didn't you let the police look at it?" Liu Erkui waved his hand and said: "You kid don't give me nonsense, hurry up, bring me a bucket of well water." This is the leader from the city, Director Li, he has come to help us avenge our grievances, and we must first see the pollution situation in our village. I'll take him over to see the groundwater, and you hurry up to get water. ”

The man nodded at Li Rui, said hello, and then walked to the well, pulled down the electric switch, and pumped a bucket of groundwater up.

Liu Erkui took the gourd scoop from the water tank next to him, scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Li Rui.

Li Rui took it, stared at it, and saw that the water was still clear, and it looked no different from the common groundwater, that is, there was more sand, and he put the big spoon under his nose and sniffed, a smell similar to bitter almonds came into his nose, and he felt very uncomfortable at first, but after smelling it for a while, he got used to it, but he couldn't smell it.

Li Rui still remembers some of the knowledge he learned in chemistry when he was in junior high school, and the smell of the chemical benzene is bitter almond flavor, and he said in his heart, could it be that benzene is mixed in the groundwater? Liu Erkui said: "Yes, people in our village say that it tastes like pesticides, and now no one dares to drink it, let alone people dare not drink it, even if the livestock smell it, they will turn their heads." Li Rui asked, "Then how do you solve the problem of drinking water now?" Liu Erkui said: "Go to Shangzhuang Village in the north to get water, where the terrain is high and the groundwater has not been polluted...... In fact, we don't know if it's polluted, at least the water doesn't taste good, it's stronger than that in our village, so we all went to get water to drink. ”

Li Rui thought to himself, the groundwater in a region is polluted, and the groundwater in the surrounding areas will definitely not be able to run, and it will be polluted more or less, and even, the groundwater environment of the entire Shibei District will be polluted, and he doesn't know if it will affect the water of his own home, maybe it has been polluted, but he doesn't know yet, when he thinks that Qingman and the fetus in her womb are likely to be drinking the polluted groundwater, a ball of fire comes out of his stomach, and he really can't wait to find out the director of the chemical plant and beat him to death.

He forcibly suppressed his anger and said to the man, "Big brother, do you have an empty bottle at home?" The man nodded and said, "There are cans and bottles." ”

Liu Erkui was very smart, he had already guessed what Li Rui meant, and instructed the man: "Hurry up and get a canned food bottle out, take a bottle of water, Director Li is useful." ”

Li Rui nodded and said, "I'm going to take a bottle to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau for inspection." Liu Erkui asked: "Is the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau the superior unit of the District Environmental Protection Bureau?" Li Rui said: "Yes." Liu Erkui's face was shocked, and said: "Then they are not a mouse in a hole?" Li Rui understood what he meant, he was worried that the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau and the Shibei District Environmental Protection Bureau had collected black money from chemical plants, so the final test results would be the same, all of them met the standard, and said with a smile: "No, first of all, I will not tell the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau that this water is the groundwater of Dongshui Village; Liu Erkui was extremely grateful, and said: "Director Li, you are really a good person, you are simply the reincarnation of Bao Qingtian, if you didn't help our village to avenge ......."

Liu Erkui praised Li Rui very strongly, and said that he was very embarrassed, and he said in his heart: "Old village chief, when I solve the problem for you, it will not be too late for you to praise me again." ”

While the two were talking, the man had already taken out a small canned food bottle, washed it with water, filled it with a full cup of freshly beaten groundwater, tightened the lid and handed it to Li Rui.

Li Rui took the bottle of water and said to Liu Erkui: "Old village chief, then I will go back to the city first, time is tight, I must go to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau for testing as soon as possible, and after getting first-hand evidence, we will start the next step." You can rest assured that Secretary Song of the Municipal Party Committee has paid attention to this matter, and will definitely solve the problem for you and give you a satisfactory answer. Until then, hold back your anger for the time being, and don't act rashly. ”

Liu Erkui nodded again and again, and said, "I listen to your Director Li, I'll send you off." ”

The two walked from the village road to the south of the village, and then walked to the mass grave circle in the southeast corner. Here the two shook hands and said goodbye, Liu Erkui watched Li Rui walk away, until he couldn't see his shadow, then sighed, turned around and left slowly, walked a long way, and looked back at the grave circle in the forest......

Before getting in the car, Li Rui changed his clothes and shoes back, and looked at the time secretly, it was already more than ten o'clock, and it was estimated that it was less than eleven o'clock when he rushed back to the city, but he had time to go to the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau to do a water quality test, but the problem is that today is the weekend, the Environmental Protection Bureau does not work, and I am afraid that no one will receive him when he goes, and this matter is very urgent, but what should I do?

He thought about it for a while, already had an idea, took the briefcase, took out the phone book of the municipal organ from it, found the landline number of the office of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, took out his work mobile phone and dialed it. His idea was that even though he wasn't at work today, there must be someone on duty at the EPA office, so he could talk to them and see how they should work.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, the phone was quickly answered, and a thick middle-aged man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, the office of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, who are you looking for?" Li Rui said: "Hello, I am the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, may I ask which leader of your bureau office is on duty?" The other party was startled, good guy, the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, that is the central organ of the city, why did you suddenly find the head of your bureau office on a big weekend? I didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Hello, what do you call it? Li Rui said: "My surname is Li, can you help me transfer that Director Wang?"

The other party agreed, and the director Wang answered the phone soon.

Li Rui didn't have time to greet him, and said straight to the point: "Director Wang, I am Li Rui from the Secretariat of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee, I want to go to your bureau to do a water quality test now, I don't know if it's convenient or not?"
