Chapter 74: The Nosy Duo
While the turtledove beats little Bill up outside, the little worm who remains in the police station learns from Rango that the town of Huangsha is facing an unprecedented "water crisis" recently.
Why do you say that, because there is an underground reservoir with a considerable reserve on the edge of a mound not far from Huangsha Town, which is why the early residents of Huangsha Town chose to live here, after all, in the vast desert outside the law, what is more precious than sufficient clear water resources.
But not long ago, a terrible thing happened, that is, the water level in the reservoir has dropped significantly, which has never happened before, and the news has not been communicated to all the villagers, and only the mayor has issued a notice to "restrict daily water use".
As the sheriff of Huangsha Town, it is naturally Rango's responsibility to investigate why the water level in the reservoir has dropped significantly, but every time he brings up the matter to the mayor, the mayor will find all kinds of excuses, as if he is deliberately obstructing Rango's investigation.
This made Rango can't help but feel that there is a conspiracy behind all this, but he is not a resident of Huangsha Town in the first place, Lango is also an outsider, he was hired by the mayor of the town to be this sheriff, since the mayor of the town does not let him check, then he has nothing to worry about.
It's a big deal to pick a son and leave, as long as you don't get into any trouble. -- That's what Rango really thinks.
Since the announcement of the water restriction was issued, the already difficult life of the residents of Huangsha Town has become even more miserable, and more and more people choose to leave here to seek refuge with relatives living in nearby towns.
Later, the "water restriction order" gradually aroused the suspicion of the townspeople, and some began to demand a reasonable explanation, and even wanted to check the condition of the reservoir, but Merry, who was in charge of both the exchange and the reservoir, would not give in easily, and as soon as his big and small Bill brothers came forward, how could anyone dare to make trouble.
Every day, the water level in the reservoir will drop a little, and now it is almost at the bottom, Rango originally thought about being a shift for a few more days, and left this place after packing up, but today he met turtledoves and insects from afar, and made such a big trouble.
The reason why he told Xiao Worm these things was not that Lan Ge wanted to do something, but that he wanted Xiao Worm to know that Huangsha Town was a mess, and the "water" behind it was very deep, so don't fall into this quagmire, otherwise it will be easy to get in, but it will be difficult to get out.
However, his words did not have the desired effect, not only that, but also made the little worm firm to meddle in the mind, in fact, it was not the little worm herself who wanted to do this, she still remembered the turtledove's ideals, but she didn't have time to explain the whole ins and outs to the turtledove, so she helped the turtledove make a decision first.
……
"What's the matter, you don't care?"
The worm looked at the turtledove and asked him.
"Then take care of it."
Turtledove spread his hands indifferently, since he had experienced those things in Candy City, he had found an ideal, or a goal, for himself, to change the world.
In fact, the turtledove didn't know how to change the world, and he didn't know what he wanted to change the world into, but the worm said something to him by chance, so that the turtledove took that sentence as his way to practice his ideals.
"Change what you don't feel comfortable with, and as for what it looks like it's right, you don't think about how to call it right, you just want to change it to look comfortable."
The worm's words were a little awkward, and it sounded a little awkward, but Turtledove felt that she was talking about her own heart, so she did what she said.
For example, when he was in Candy City, Turtledove watched Calvin take a large group of orphans back to do hard labor, and he felt uncomfortable with this matter, so he tried to overthrow Calvin's rule over Candy City, so that those orphans no longer had to work hard day and night, so that he could look comfortable.
For example, now, the residents of Huangsha Town should rely on the underground reservoir to live happily, but the reservoir is suddenly running out of water, and there is obviously a smell of conspiracy, which makes the turtledove look very uncomfortable, and he has to take care of it.
So it's still the worm who understands his mind.
……
The conversation between the turtledove and the worm stunned Rango, and he looked at the turtledove in a daze, and then at the worm stupidly, and finally said to the two of them with surprise:
"Didn't you two hear clearly, I said that there is probably a conspiracy behind this matter, the conspiracy, do you know, the kind that will kill people."
"We don't care if there's no conspiracy," Worm tossed the cowboy hat back to Rango, "and it's the kind that will kill people, otherwise wouldn't it be meaningless?" ”
After that, the little worm grinned at the turtledove, and the turtledove pursed his lips and whispered:
"She's a lunatic."
Anyway, Rango couldn't understand the thoughts of these two young people, he was not timid, he just didn't want to get into trouble casually, and he didn't want to get involved in a fatal trouble, which was very similar to the previous turtledove.
……
"Hey!"
The little worm stopped Rango, who was about to turn away, and said:
"You'd better tell us the general location of the underground reservoir before we go, or you'll show us the way?"
Rango shook his head into a rattle, raised his hand to point the worm in the right direction, and walked towards the police station without looking back, as if he didn't want to be involved with the two of them at all.
"Where are we going now?"
The turtledove estimated the time, the water on the exchange should be ready, and the worm was the same as he thought, first drove the modified pickup truck over and loaded it with clean water, and then pretended to leave Huangsha Town, and waited until it was completely dark before going to the underground reservoir to see the situation.
After all, the old mayor's meaning when he left was obvious, he didn't want to see turtle doves or small insects in Huangsha Town, he didn't explain it on the surface, but every word and sentence revealed this information.
……
"Stupid!"
In the room behind the counter of the exchange, the old mayor slapped the table with a "snap", and he blew his beard and stared at Merry and Big Bill in front of him, as for the other little minions, they had already shrunk in the corner of the wall and shivered, where did they dare to come near again.
"I told you not to grow extraneous branches, don't have extraneous branches, whether you don't have ears or brains, if something goes wrong in this matter, you can't eat and walk around."
At this time, the old mayor had already stood up from his wheelchair, and he looked menacing, and there was still a little dazed in his eyes.
