Frogs that eat money
The sea level of Hailan Town has reached a new high, and a famous oceanographer said that if the sea level rises by another 15 centimeters per year, Hailan Town will be submerged in less than ten years
Today's news is playing on TV screens in dilapidated commercial buildings that have been corroded by acid rain in the town's only square
Lu Hailan stood in the square, holding a book-thick poster for protecting the ocean, and raised his head slightly to look at the TV
Science members on television, dressed in thick hazmat suits and wearing full masks and gloves, measure the beach, which has long been enclosed off by over-pollution
The look on their face was full of nervousness and distress about the polluted ocean, but more of it was fear of the ocean
About two years ago, a serious disease broke out in that dirty and bottomless ocean, and all the animals that had drunk his water died in the disease
So far, scientists have not been able to explain what kind of disease it was! It's just that the disease is named after the blue ocean
But who would have thought! Twelve years ago, the blue sea was as clear as Hawaii!
Lu Hailan looked at the gray sky expressionlessly, adjusted the mask for a long time, and took a deep breath.
The air quality is very poor, even if you are wearing a mask, you can breathe, and the smell of dust and the pungent smell of acid rain just after it has just fallen is terrible!
Dirty oceans, sunless skies, and acid rain that began three years ago are the polluted towns of Hailan
There is no lively night market before, and there is no clear blue sky,
People don't dare to drink the water here, and they don't dare to eat any kind of seafood here!
Hailan Town has also changed from a prosperous town to a backward town with only a few hundred households
And this process only took less than 12 years!
Twelve years ago, a large heavy industry chemical plant moved to the town, and at first he changed the town's economy, but in the third year, its owner, for more money, went against his principles!
He began to discharge sewage indiscriminately, and at the expense of the environment, he also abandoned the town after getting a lot of money!
The polluted town is abandoned by the people, and at the same time, it is also disgusted by the people left behind in the town, and it is called the polluted sea.
The mayor of the town, Lu Changqing, Lu Hailan's father, was also pained by the reason for this so-called approval of the factory to enter the town, and he put all his energy and life on the work of sewage treatment, but it was too late!
People are afraid of this ocean, and no one wants to approach that ocean, and even dump garbage into that ocean in disgust!
Lu Hailan looked at the poster that had just been thrown to the ground, and bent down to pick up the poster with some sadness, and carefully flattened it
Disappointed, she put the poster down, only one less poster than the original, and walked towards the convenience store
Xu Qing, who was looking at the convenience store, saw Lu Hailan walking into the convenience store and asked:
Xiao Hailan, I heard Uncle Su say that your father is applying for funds to add sewage treatment to the above, has the application been successful?
Hailan Town, which began to remediate sewage four years ago, consumed a lot of money to complete the sewage on the surface, but the people in the town behind it know very well that the money only flows into the hands of some people.
It hasn't worked out yet, Lu Hailan stood in front of the shelf, and said back with a pack of masks
…… Oh, Xu Qing was silent for a while, and then said: Xiao Hailan, you say me, will our town really be drowned?
……
After Lu Hailan was silent for a long time, he said uncertainly: ...... No
But really won't? Who doesn't know?
Because of the acid rain that had just fallen, even though it was Sunday, the convenience store people were pitiful!
When Lu Hailan finished settling the bill, a teenager just came in the convenience store, and the teenager walked to the shelves wearing the school uniform of the thirteenth middle school, looked at the mask that had been more expensive for more than half a month and said: Sister Xu Qing, why hasn't the price of the mask risen again?
Do you think you think, those people in the wholesale market are so dark that they know that we lack masks, and the one we buy is expensive, Xu Qingxue complained like an adult
Helan Wholesale Market is the only meat store and convenience store in Hailan Town, and its background is huge, and many enterprises and small stores are monopolized by it.
After Lu Hailan cleaned up the poster that had just been put in front of the cashier because he bought a mask, Xu Qing said a word and walked out of the convenience store.
Outside the convenience store, acid rain fell again in the previously clear sky
Lu Hailan looked at the sky and frowned, took out the outdated mobile phone from the schoolbag, and typed after finding Lu's father in WeChat: I'm in front of Xu Qing's convenience store, maybe I'll go back later! You don't have to worry!
After Lu Hailan finished typing, he put his mobile phone in his schoolbag and walked back to the convenience store just now.
She looked at Xu Qing, who was settling the bill for the teenager, and asked, "Senior sister, is there still an umbrella in the store?"
Well, what, Xu Qing asked without hearing clearly
She said there were umbrellas in the store? The boy said
Umbrellas! I'll go see if there's anything left, Xu Qing walked to the shelf, looked for a while and found that there was none, then turned back to Lu Hailan and said: Xiao Hailan, wait a minute, I'll go to the warehouse to find out
…… Good
It's ridiculous that an umbrella, an ordinary shelter from the rain, has become a necessity in the polluted town of La Mer.
After a while, Xu Qing found an umbrella in the warehouse and said: "Blue, it matches the light blue dress you wore today!"
Thank you, Lu Hailan said the umbrella
meanwhile
The young man looked at the glass outside the window that was corroded by acid rain and was about to be cleared, turned his head and said to Lu Hailan:
Sister Hailan, my dad said that your father is being applied for to increase the funds for sewage treatment, is it an increase in funds, and if we treat this place well, there will be no acid rain here, I won't have to move here, and our town will not be flooded......
......, in the face of the young man's sincere questioning, Lu Hailan didn't know what to say, because even she didn't know what the answer to this question was, and would it get better? She doesn't know!
Since four years ago, her father began to treat sewage, and it has been four years now, and the town is still like that, sometimes even she is confused, will the town really get better?
Under the disappointed eyes of the young man, Lu Hailan said goodbye to Xu Qing, and walked on that road with this umbrella, which was corroded by acid rain and had almost no life.
She looked at the dead flowers and plants, and couldn't bear to think of the crystal clear sea ten years ago, when the sea was so blue.
The blue sea, the blue sky, that's the real sea blue town, the name is the same as the sea blue,
Hailan, a shout interrupted Lu Hailan's memory, and Lu Hailan, who came back to his senses, looked at the square sentence of the voice,
Senior Lin!
Lin Qing, who didn't know when he appeared, was stretching his waist on a tree in an unlucky place because he was running too fast
After coming over for a while, Lin Qing reacted and said nervously: Hailan, I, Mo Chenyan and I, found that an industrial chemical field was indiscriminately discharging sewage, and the frogs there were sperm, not only three legs, but also eating money!
