Little Ma asked: „How long can go to the place?” 小马问道:“多久能到地方？” Ye Shaoyang thinks saying: „Theoretically...... is less than day.” 叶少阳想了想说:“理论上……不到一天。” Little Ma stares the big eye: „How does this thing have the theory?” 小马瞪大眼睛:“这玩意怎么还有理论？” „Must ride the unlicensed taxi to walk into the mountain to the county, can sometimes sit, sometimes quite a while cannot sit.” Ye Shaoyang said, „natural this is several years ago situations, several years have not gone back, I don't know either.” “到县城得坐黑车进山,有时候坐得上,有时候半天坐不上。”叶少阳道,“当然了这是几年前的情况,几年没回去,我也不知道。” A Little Ma face heavy line, „your family lives in sparks/Mars, is so complex.” 小马一脸黑线,“你家是住在火星吗,这么复杂。” Shook for several hours on the bus, after getting out, two people arrive at a small county: Huaishang District. 在大巴车上晃了几个小时,下车之后,两人来到一座小县城:淮上县。 Comes out from the station, immediately has the unlicensed taxi driver to encircle, is shouting various geographic names with the local words. 从车站出来,立刻有黑车司机围上来,用当地话喊着各种地名。 Although Central Plain Mandarin/bureaucratic language earth, but does not have much difference from the standard spoken Chinese, Little Ma can also understand. 中原官话虽然土一点,但跟普通话没太大区别,小马也听得懂。 Ye Shaoyang recognizes a would-be driver, first with the standard spoken Chinese asked that he goes to Jiang Family Gate how much money, the driver said 80. Ye Shaoyang also in the local words, the driver gawked, immediately subtracts 40. 叶少阳认准一个司机,先用普通话问他去蒋家大门多少钱,司机说八十。叶少阳又用当地话说了一遍,司机愣了一下,登时减去四十。 Ye Shaoyang greeted Little Ma to follow behind the driver. 叶少阳招呼小马跟在司机后面。 „You were not five years old leave home, how to also speak the dialect?” Little Ma a little puzzled asking. “你不是五岁就离家了吗,怎么还会说方言？”小马有点不解的问道。 „My three years old will speak even, still said two years of dialect is good,” Ye Shaoyang rolled the eyes at him, said: „In childhood the thing of study was easiest to remember, the accent is difficult to change.” “我就算三岁会说话,也说了两年方言好吧,”叶少阳白了他一眼,道:“小时候学的东西最容易记住,乡音难改。” Said is the unlicensed taxi, is actually a small-scale minibus, looked this car(riage) broken is similar to the abandonment car(riage), Little Ma a little does not dare on, but on the vehicle had sat several people. 说是黑车,其实是一辆小型中巴车,看这车破的跟报废车差不多,小马都有点不敢上,不过车上已经坐了几个人。 After two people come up, occupied the back row seat, waited to have 20 minutes, vehicle one after another superior master, after some 70-80%, the person on vehicle started the collective to urge, the driver waited for a meeting, saw no one to board, this started out. 两人上去之后,占据了后排座位,等了有二十分钟,车子陆续上人,有七八成之后,车上的人开始集体催起来,司机又等了一会,见没人上车,这才发车。 The minibus leaves the county, in an asphalt road along piece of croplands, dang opens. 中巴车离开县城,沿着一片庄稼地中间的柏油路,咣当咣当的开起来。 The feeling is close to the hometown, Ye Shaoyang also unavoidably a little small is excited, although oneself did not have the family/home, but this nostalgia also. 感觉离家乡越来越近,叶少阳也不免有点小小的激动起来,虽然自己没家了,但这种乡情还在。 Suddenly, Little Ma turned his with the arm, said: „Your hometown on desert?” 突然,小马用胳膊拐了他一下,道:“你家乡是不是在沙漠上啊？” Ye Shaoyang knits the brows: „What do you mean?” 叶少阳皱眉道:“什么意思？” Little Ma pouts toward the front these passengers, said: „Otherwise buys so many mineral water to do?” 小马朝前面那些乘客努了努嘴,道:“不然一个个都买这么多矿泉水干什么？” Ye Shaoyang looks one by one, but also, under the seats of almost all passengers is putting the vat pure water or one big raises the mineral water, various types of drink. 叶少阳挨个看去,还真是,几乎所有乘客的座位下面都放着大桶纯净水或者一大提矿泉水,还有各种饮料。 At this time, sat in their front 3 or 4-year-old little girl, because the automobile swayed, sprinkled one can of drink lanes, her mother slaps on her arm immediately, cursed: „Hē anything to drink, the waste, knows much how much money buy!” 恰好这时,坐在他们前排的一个三四岁的小女孩,因为汽车摇晃,把一罐饮料弄洒了一些,她妈妈立刻在她胳膊上打了一巴掌,大骂起来:“喝什么喝,多浪费,知道多少钱买的吗！” Can one bottle of drink, how much money have? Ye Shaoyang looks at each other one with Little Ma, felt that the matter is a little unusual. 一瓶饮料,能有多少钱？叶少阳跟小马对视一眼,感觉到事情有点不寻常。 Little Ma said: „Otherwise you ask what's the matter.” 小马道:“不然你问问怎么回事。” Ye Shaoyang thinks saying: „Was not anxious, gets out to say again, they go to Jiang Family Gate in any case.” 叶少阳想了想道:“不急,下车再说,反正他们都是去蒋家大门的。” Jiang Family Gate, is a town/subdues, is not because person surnamed Jiang are many, because once household of Jiang had/left a foremost person in the field, emperor bestowed to construct a memorial arch on the street, seemed like the front door, afterward called Jiang Family Gate, the name spread, afterward became the town/subdues name. 蒋家大门,是一个镇,并不是因为姓蒋的人多,只是因为曾经有一户蒋姓人家出了个状元,皇帝赐建了一座牌坊在街上,看上去像大门,后来就叫成蒋家大门,名字传开,后来成了镇名。 Ye Family Village that Ye Shaoyang is , is also 20 li (0.5 km) to the town/subdues. Two people get out, it is black, car(riage) that has not walked into the mountain, therefore Ye Shaoyang plans to pass the night in the town/subdues. 叶少阳家所在的叶家村,离镇上还有二十里。两人下车的时候,天已经黑了,没有进山的车,于是叶少阳打算在镇上过夜。 „First buys a water to drink.” Little Ma said, throws into a roadside shop, wanted two bottles of activations. “先买点水喝。”小马说完,一头扎进路边一家小店,要了两瓶激活。 „No.” The boss is 40 -year-old middle-aged men, very simple saying. “没有。”老板是一个四十来岁的中年男人,很简单的说道。 Little Ma said: „What drink does that have?” 小马道:“那有什么饮料？” The boss looked at his one eyes, referred to putting two bottles of mineral water on refrigerator, „, only then this, eight one bottle.” 老板看了他一眼,指了指摆在冰柜上的两瓶矿泉水,“只有这个,八块一瓶。” „Eight?” Little Ma called, „Fuck you were a bandits'inn.” “八块？”小马叫起来,“卧槽你这是黑店啊。” „Young fellow speech limelight, eight I do not want to sell, does not buy walks, you look in this town/subdues to have one compared with the small advantage that I sell.” “小伙子说话注意点,八块我都不想卖,不买就走,你看这镇上有没有一家比我卖的便宜的。” Ye Shaoyang does not sense right, goes forward to say with the local words: „Uncle, I just went home not to know why one bottle of mineral water do sell such expensively?” 叶少阳觉出不对,上前用本地话说道:“阿叔,我刚回家来不知道,为啥一瓶矿泉水卖这么贵？” The boss listened to him to speak the local words, the attitude was good, high and low sized up one saying: „ Hasn't university student, your family member called to say you? In the town/subdues was about to cut off the water supply, only then Ali Reservoir also a little water. 老板听他说当地话,态度好了点,上下打量了一眼说:“大学生吧,你家人没给你打电话说吗？镇上快断水了,只有阿里水库还有一点水。 Toward the south side, water did not have again, now the water is more expensive than the oil, the mineral water cannot enter quickly, if you really thirsty drank with one bottle, did not ask for money, but can only give you one bottle. ” 再往南边去,一点水都没了,现在水比油贵,矿泉水都快进不到了,你要是真渴拿一瓶去喝好了,不要钱了,但只能给你们一瓶。” „Under Uncle thanks, inquired, how in the town/subdues to cut off the water supply?” “谢阿叔了,打听下,镇上怎么会断水了呢？” Boss two one, „ghost knows that what's the matter, formerly starting from month, the water level in well dropped repeatedly, by last month, deep well also non- water leakage. Three months did not have drop of rain, in the ditch in the river to do, in the town/subdues drinks water all ships from the county now, you said precious as gold.” 老板两手一摊,“鬼知道怎么回事,从前个月开始,井里的水位就一再下降,到上个月,再深的井也不出水了。三个月没下过一滴雨,沟里河里全干了,镇上喝水现在全是从县城运来的,你说多金贵吧。” Ye Shaoyang remembers in that on the vehicle sees, finally yes, these passengers buy the water are go home to drink, therefore asked: „Did arid reason find?” 叶少阳想起在车上看到的那一幕,总算明白,那些乘客买水都是回家喝的,于是问道:“干旱的原因找到没有？” The boss sighed, „also looked for the media, asked for the government, the city got down investigation team, investigated several days of also no clue, said that catches up with the rare drought, that did not have the means that in the district sends two waterwheels to supply water every day, only enough everyone drank water, daily expense insufficient......” 老板叹了口气,“也找媒体了,也找政府了,市里下来一个调查组,调查了几天也没啥头绪,说是赶上百年难遇的旱灾,那也是没办法,县里现在每天派两辆水车过来送水,也只够大家喝水的,日用都不够……” Little Ma hear of his such saying, asked with amazement: „In town/subdues doesn't have the running water?” 小马听他这么一说,惊讶地问:“镇上没自来水？” „ No, our towns leave the recent county also over a hundred li (0.5 km), the mountain are also many, the shop water pipe system cost is too high, said again our water shortage, each family have the water well, in the mountain also has the reservoir, no one drinks the running water. “没有,我们这镇子离最近的县城也有上百里,山又多,铺自来水管成本太高,再说我们这原先也不缺水,家家都有水井,山里还有水库,没人喝自来水。 After the drought, the city is actually positive must put down water pipes, but was not one day two days can manage, slow aid will not help in an emergency, said the drought again , was not only in the town/subdues, south these small villages, situation more serious many. ” 旱灾发生后,市里倒是积极要铺水管,可也不是一天两天就能办了,远水解不了近渴啊,再说干旱的不光是镇上,南面那些小村子,情况更严重的多。” Ye Shaoyang also inquired several, express gratitude, leaves the shop with Little Ma together, goes to look for the hotel. 叶少阳又打听了几句,道了谢,跟小马一起离开小店,前去找旅馆。 On the road Little Ma asked: „How, your formerly to have the drought frequently?” 路上小马问道:“怎么着,你们这从前经常发生旱灾吗？” Ye Shaoyang shakes the head, „the Central Plain area, never has the true drought, this matter is very unusual.” 叶少阳摇摇头,“中原地区,从来就没有真正的旱灾,这件事很不寻常。” Little Ma thinks otherwise saying: „Having anything is unusual, rains, the God matter, who can control.” 小马不以为然道:“有什么不寻常的,下不下雨,老天爷的事,谁管得了。” Ye Shaoyang snort/hum a sound said: „Three months do not rain the past that can also say, but why the water drying of water well?” 叶少阳哼了一声道:“三个月不下雨也能说的过去,可为什么水井的水干了？” Little Ma gawked evil ways: „Time did not rain, seasons.” 小马愣了一下道:“时间不下雨,晒干了呗。” Ye Shaoyang is speechless immediately, „your family well water is rains to accumulate, hasn't your elementary school taken the nature study?” 叶少阳顿时无语,“你家井水是下雨积进去的,你小学没上过自然课？” „...... Isn't?” Little Ma pursues, „that you told me, what reason but also there is able to create the drought?” “呃……难道不是？”小马追上去,“那你告诉我,还有什么原因能造成干旱？” Ye Shaoyang said: „At least has a reason...... drought demon.” 叶少阳道:“至少有一种原因……旱魃。” ( Today's birthday, has everyone to accompany happily.
