Every day is a fiery sun, and the blazing light grills the earth. The leaves of the red vine in the field have been charred yellow, and the corn stalks that are about to ripen are wrapped in patches of dry leaves, and the corn cobs that bear are as thin as those of a premature baby. In the dry rice fields, cracks crisscross and the roots of the rice spread through the cracks, looking for water everywhere to drink.

After breakfast, Hu Kehao saw that there was no water in the tank, so he carried a bucket to the well to fetch water. Walking on the dirt pavement, the cracks crisscross and extend in different directions, dividing the pavement into clods of different sizes. When an ant encounters these cracks, it is like encountering a moat, and he has to look at the ditch and sigh.

When they came to the well, they saw that the liquid level of the well water had dropped to the bottom of the well, and the suction head of the pumping machine was hanging above the liquid level, no wonder the pumping machine could not pump water. Hu Kehao picked up a very long bamboo pole from the well, there was an eye at one end of the bamboo pole, Hu Kehao tied the rope of the bucket to it, and then carried the bamboo pole down the bucket into the well, and after a few minutes, he hit a small half bucket of muddy muddy water. He waited a few more minutes for the well water to slowly seep in, and then drew a small half bucket of muddy water. After a long time, he carried most of the bucket of muddy water home. The bucket spilled into the ground and seeped into the dirt along the cracks with extremely high permeability, leaving no trace.

"What are the patterns of cracks in the ground? How can these cracks be characterized and characterized? Hu Kehao asked. In his eyes, learning is everywhere, and "Tao" is everywhere. Even in this arid and cracked muddy road, there is also a high level of knowledge. Learning is not high in the clouds, but in front of you. In fact, outstanding scientists maintain a childlike heart. Many Nobel Prize-level achievements can be found in life with living examples and metaphors.

He Xin shook his head and said, "I studied liberal arts." ”

"The direction of the crack is perpendicular to the direction of the minimum principal stress, or the direction of the crack extends along the direction of the maximum principal stress. When conducting scientific research, these cracks can be quantitatively described and characterized through the corresponding mathematical statistical laws, and the parameters such as crack density, length, opening, and orientation can be clarified. I have a classmate who is engaged in petroleum geology, and he said that in low permeability reservoirs, fracturing technology is needed to press out fractures underground, and then oil and gas can flow out through the fractures. Hu Kehao explained.

"Tell your classmates to dig a well here, and then use fracking technology to get the groundwater out!" He Xin said.

People in the village are looking for water everywhere. Hu Kehao's Huaishu Village Group 4, a villager Hu San, came to the weir with a bucket. This weir was originally the collective property of Huaishu Village Group 4 and Group 3, and three years ago, the weir was contracted by Wu Tiangui of Group 3 to raise fish. Now that the weather is dry, the water in the weir has long since dried up, leaving only some silt at the bottom and dead and stinky fish and shrimp. Wu Tiangui dug two large pools in the center of the weir, and most of the pools were already soaked with water.

Hu San saw that there was no one around the pool, so he uncovered the glue on the top of the pool, filled it with a handful of water, and turned around and walked out of the weir. Suddenly, there was a shout from behind him: "Who is carrying water?" Stop me! ”

Hu San put the bucket on the embankment, and the person he saw was Wu Tiangui. Panting, he ran over and asked, "Why are you stealing water here?" This water is not your home! ”

When Hu San heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "Why isn't this water mine?" This water is everyone's! Everybody can use it! ”

"Three years ago, I had already contracted the weir and paid money to the village collective every year. Everything in this weir is mine! I contracted the weir, I dug the pool, and the water in the pool was also mine! You can't pick up the water without my consent! Wu Tiangui said confidently.

"The village collective just contracted the weir to you to raise fish, only the fish inside are yours, and the water belongs to everyone! Anyone in the village can come here to fetch water! Hu San said.

"No! This year's drought has caused all the fish I raised to die, and the village collective has not given me a reduction or exemption from the contract fee! I'm at a loss! You can't just use this water! If you want to use it, you have to give money! Wu Tiangui argued.

"What a joke! Your fish is dead, you go to God! You paid the big weir contract fee, and you went to the village chief to return the money! What does it have to do with me? After Hu San finished speaking, he was going to pick up the water. Wu Tiangui held Hu San's flat shoulder and didn't let him go.

Groups 4 and 3 were close together, and people heard someone arguing and gathered around. The people in Group 4 helped Hu San speak, and the people in Group 3 helped Wu Tiangui speak.

"This pool was dug by my old man, if you want to carry water, you have to pay to buy it!" Wu Tiangui's eldest son, Wu Da, said.

"How much are you going to charge?" Hu San asked.

"4 groups come to buy water, 10 yuan a pick, that is, two barrels of 10 yuan; For 3 groups of water, the price is halved, and 5 yuan is a pick. Wu Tiangui replied.

"You're going to rob someone? I'll burn the coin for you, do you want it? Hu San said angrily.

"You turtle son, even if you want to sell water and collect money, the price should be the same, why do you charge 4 groups more?" Li Tianbang of Group 4 saw that there was an argument on the side of Dayan, and ran over and yelled at Wu Tiangui.

"Lao Tzu just can't get used to your 4 groups, what's wrong? Who told you 4 groups of thieves to steal the fish I raised! Wu Tiangui turned over the old accounts.

In Wu Tiangui's heart, all the people in the 4 groups are thieves! Li Tianbang was very angry, and he had to argue with him, and asked, "When did you see us come and steal your fish?" If you don't have proof, don't talk nonsense! ”

"You just stole it! The fish thief is your Li Tianbang! Hu San said.

Li Tianbang asked Hu San to carry water home, and here he came to clean up. Hu San was about to leave, when Wu Tiangui overturned his bucket to the ground, and the water flowed into the bloody mouth of the crack in the embankment. Li Tianbang couldn't bear it anymore, so he started with Wu Tiangui. Li Tianbang already has the habit of being a second-rate hooligan, where is Wu Tiangui's opponent? Seeing that Wu Tiangui was in a weak position, his son and daughter-in-law joined in, and then someone from Li Tianbang's side also joined in, and seven or eight people fought together. Under the persuasion of the villagers, they each withdrew their troops and returned home, but fortunately no one was killed.

Li Tianbang returned home, remembered today's events, and felt very angry. Hu San's wife, Aunt Hu, came to Li Tianbang's house to comfort him, and his tone slowly went down. Hu San's wife's real surname is Zhang, and she should be called Aunt Zhang, but people in Huaishu Village often follow Hu San's surname and call her Aunt Hu.

Li Tianbang thought that the matter would pass like this, but he didn't know that the matter was not over yet. The next day, Wu Tiangui took his eldest son Wu Da and his eldest daughter-in-law Liu Li to Li Tianbang's house. I saw that Liu Li's face was bruised and swollen, oozing blood. Hu San said that Liu Li was injured by Li Tianbang and asked him to pay for medical expenses.

Li Tianbang said: "I was fine when I left yesterday, how could I get hurt?" I didn't hit it! ”

"You hurt her during the fight yesterday. At that time, she had no symptoms, and when she got home, her face slowly swollen! So many people could testify yesterday, don't be fooled! Wu Da said.

"How can I hit a woman! I was fighting with you yesterday, and the people of your family went into battle together, and I kept letting them! They were the ones who hit me! Li Tianbang said.

"My daughter-in-law came to persuade her yesterday, and you accidentally hurt her. She has injuries on her face and arms, and you're responsible for that! Wu Da said.

"Joke! I never hit a woman! It must be the two of you fighting, don't rely on me! You see that Liu Li still has scratches on her face, do you see that I have nails on my hands? Will I use my fingernails to scratch people when I hit someone? I can use a stick or a knife, but I never scratch people with my fingernails! Li Tianbang said.

Wu Da saw that the scars on his daughter-in-law's face showed flaws, and he was grabbed by Li Tianbang, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Liu Li felt very embarrassed and yelled at Wu: "Enough! Give me all back! I said no, you have to let me be a shrew! It's not okay to lose face at home, it's all shame to be lost in someone else's house! ”

It turned out that the injury on Liu Li's face was beaten by Zhao Juan, the second daughter-in-law of the Hu family. Hu San had two sons, Wu Da and Wu Er, and after the two sons got married, they split up their families, and after they separated, they each built houses, and they were still neighbors next to each other. Yesterday afternoon, Wu Er's wife Zhao Juan gave her 6-year-old daughter Dandan 5 yuan of brand-new money, Dandan took the 5 yuan to show off everywhere, and was seen by Liu Li's 7-year-old son Mao Dan. Mao Dan said to Dandan: "Sister, I have beautiful toys here, do you want them?" Dandan asked what the toy was, and Mao Dan took out a rag doll, and Dandan started playing. After a while, Mao Dan said to stop playing with rag dolls, he was going to put them away. Dandan is playing hard and is reluctant to give. Mao Dan said, "Then let's do it, I'll sell you this rag doll." Dandan asked, "How much?" Mao Dan said that it was only 5 yuan, so Dandan gave 5 yuan to Mao Dan and went home with the rag doll.

Back home, Zhao Juan saw the rag doll in Dandan's hand and asked her where the rag doll came from? Dandan said that it was given by Brother Maodan. Zhao Juan thought that Mao Dan had never refused to give his toys to others to play with, how could he be willing to give the rag doll to Dandan? Zhao Juan asked Dandan again where is the 5 yuan, and has he saved it? Dandan said: "The money has been given to Brother Maodan, and he sold this rag doll to me for 5 yuan." ”

When Zhao Juan heard this, she was very angry and immediately walked towards Liu Li's house. met Mao Dan at the door, grabbed him, and said, "Return the money, why did you cheat your sister's money?" ”

Mao Dan said: "I didn't cheat money, she bought the rag doll from me." ”

"I don't know how to learn well when I'm so old! When you grow up, you will be a thief and a liar! After Zhao Juan finished speaking, she took out 5 yuan from her hairy egg purse. Mao Dan immediately began to cry. Liu Li came out of the house, saw Zhao Juan and a child couldn't get along, and then thought of some trivial contradictions between the two families, so she scolded.

Seeing Liu Li scolding, Zhao Juan also scolded. The two scolded and scolded, talking and scolding, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. In the end, Liu Li scolded Zhao Juan for stealing a man, and scolded her for not being able to give birth to a son after retribution, and giving birth to a daughter is a loss of money. This touched Zhao Juan's bottom line, because Wu Er usually complained about Zhao Juan not giving him a son, intentionally or unintentionally. Zhao Juan completely broke out, grabbed Liu Li and started fighting, the result was to scratch her face with her nails, and beat her face and arms with the corn cob in her hand to bruise and hematoma. The father and son of the Hu family calmed down the family conflict, and in the end, they planted the blame on Li Tianbang, and insisted that the scars on Liu Li's body were beaten by Li Tianbang, and everyone who watched the fight yesterday could testify, presumably he couldn't rely on it.

Unexpectedly, because of the nail scratches on Liu Li's face, this matter was exposed by Li Tianbang, and the people of the Hu family felt disgraced. Later, Cao Jian, the head of Huaishu Village, knew about the fight over water, and Cao Jian convened a villager meeting in the whole village.
