Chapter 914 Looking for Water Sources (12)

"Hey! Why is the water stopped?"

When Zhang Feng woke up the next morning, he found that the water was cut off!
I was about to wash my face when I turned on the faucet and found that there was not a drop of water.

This is strange, the tap water in the village is not the same system as that in the city, but the villagers introduced it from Qinglong Mountain to the village. This tap water system has been used for more than ten years and has never had any problems. For an unprecedented time, the water was stopped.

At this time, not only Zhang Feng discovered the problem of water cut-off, but most of the villagers even discovered it earlier, but everyone had to help harvest the vegetables in the field, so there was no time to pay attention to it for the time being.

However, as the head of the village, Uncle couldn't ignore it, so he immediately checked up the water pipes in the village, hoping to find out where the water pipes failed.

As they walked, the village chief came to the door of Zhang Feng's house. Seeing that Zhang Feng was already up, he quickly grabbed his young man.

"Xiaofeng's water supply is cut off today, if you're okay, go into the mountain with me to have a look!"

"Hey, wait a minute, uncle, let me wash my face first!"

Zhang Feng nodded. There was no water in the water pipes, which was not a problem for him, because the pools in his house were full, and even if there was no water in the pools, would the gutters in the backyard or the Moon Lake in front still be short of water?

Although the water cannot be drunk directly, it is more than enough to wash your face.

"Uncle, wait, I'll get some tools first!"

After washing his face, Zhang Feng talked to his uncle, went to the utility room, took some tools for repairing the water pipes, and walked out quickly.

"Hehe, you're still thoughtful, let's go!" Seeing the repair tool being carried in a basket, the uncle nodded in satisfaction.

"Mom, my uncle and I went to check the water pipes!"

Before leaving, Zhang Feng said to his mother,
"It's okay, you guys go!"

Wang Guilan was combing her hair, and smiled and waved to her son when she heard it.

As soon as I walked to the next door, I met my brother-in-law returning with a cart full of water buckets.

"Brother Jun, where did you get the water?" Zhang Feng asked Li Jun while busy getting out of the car.

"On the river beach upstream, the water there is so clear that you can drink it directly!"

Zhang Feng nodded. The water quality there is indeed very good. I remember that some time ago, the relevant department came to measure it, and it can fully meet the national drinking water standard.

"Xiaofeng, you go and do your work first. I'll ask the staff to help move the water later." Seeing that the uncle was still waiting by the side, Li Jun said hastily.

"Well, my uncle and I will leave first!"

After bidding farewell to Brother Jun, Zhang Feng and his uncle continued to walk upstream along the thick water pipe.

"Uncle, the tap water in our village must have been used for more than ten years?" Looking at the rusty water pipes on the side of the road, Zhang Feng asked the uncle.

"Of course, if I remember correctly, the water pipes in our village were repaired in 2000. At that time, each household paid 500 yuan!" The uncle nodded and recalled.

Hearing 500 yuan, Zhang Feng also remembered.

At that time, because of the 500 yuan, the village was in a state of chaos.

Although 500 yuan does not seem to be much now, but in 2000, everyone’s salary was only 600 to 500 yuan, and the income of [-] to [-] yuan from planting the land for a year was considered a big family in the village, so [-] yuan is right. It's not a small fortune for everyone.

At that time, Zhang Feng's family did not have 500 yuan in savings. In order to pay the money, his father went to work on a construction site outside and worked for a full month to get the 500 yuan.

"Uncle, the source of tap water in our village is in the mountains, right?"

"Well, to enter the mountain from here, we have to climb two more hills!" The uncle nodded, and then pointed to the mountain peak not far away.

"So far?" Zhang Feng was a little surprised, and then continued to ask: "Then how did you get water from there? Isn't it more convenient to get water from the Tapang River?"

"You think we want to get water from the Tapang River? Think about where the water from the Tapang River comes from?" Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the uncle couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Oh, damn it, I almost forgot!" Zhang Feng patted his head in embarrassment.

The Tapang River is known as the mother river of Qingshan County, so it goes without saying that the Tapang River flows from the edge of the county town. At that time, almost all the sewage of the residents in the city was discharged in it. Can the downstream water still be drunk?

Fortunately, the Dabang River entered Qinglong Mountain after leaving the county seat. After supplementing and purifying mountain spring water in the mountains of Qinglong Mountain, the water quality became better when it flowed to Moon Lake.

So ten years ago, no one dared to drink the water of the Tapang River.

But now it is different, the sea has changed, the country pays more and more attention to environmental protection, and the river water in the city has become clear again.

Especially since ten years ago, Qingshan County has invested tens of millions to build a sewage treatment system covering the county. The Tapang River has finally got rid of the turbid state and gradually regained its beautiful color.

…………

The further we went in, the more rugged the mountain road became. Although this had no effect on Zhang Feng, the uncle was panting from exhaustion.

"Uncle, why don't you wait for me here?"

"Oh, time is not forgiving, you will grow old in a blink of an eye!"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, the uncle sat down on the hillside, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Uncle, how old are you, look at your hair is still black and thick..." Zhang Feng comforted quickly.

"Hehe, that's fine, you don't have to comfort me, kid. I'm dyed, okay?" The uncle smiled and waved his hands, and then said to Zhang Feng: "Go quickly and see what's wrong in front. If it is repaired, it will be repaired, if it cannot be repaired, forget it, and then I will find a professional to repair it.”

"Understood uncle, then you rest here, I'm leaving!"

"Well, you go!" Uncle waved his hand,

After bidding farewell to his uncle, Zhang Feng continued to climb up the valley to the top of the mountain. Although the mountain road here was a bit steep, it was not difficult for him at all. Since taking the genetic fluid, his physical fitness has been super strong.

Walking on the mountain road, Zhang Feng seemed to be blown by the soles of his feet. He kept climbing and jumping on the rugged rocks, and quickly found the fault along the water pipe.

At this time, the water pipe in front was gushing clear water, and a stone the size of a watermelon was pressed on the water pipe.
Zhang Feng guessed that the stone rolled down from a high place and broke the water pipe in the village, which caused the water supply in the village to stop.

It is also difficult to find the leaking place, because this is an old-fashioned iron pipe, and there is no replacement tool in the tools I brought.

What to do then?
"Looks like it can only be bound with rubber skin and wire!"

Although this is only a temporary solution but not the root cause, there is no replacement steel pipe in the village, so Zhang Feng can only do this.

When Zhang Feng barely repaired the leak, his body was already wet, and he was in a mess like a drowned chicken.

Zhang Feng smiled wryly, wiped off the water stains on his body, packed up his tools, and prepared to go back home.
