In July, the sun is blazing like fire. In the blue sky, the sun is mercilessly releasing its anger. The sky above Yunxi City seems to be tightly covered by a huge steamer. Under the scorching sun, walking on the road is a great torment. But even in such weather, there is one industry in Yunxi City that is the busiest - sand mining.
Summer is a golden season for the construction and decoration industries. Because of the high temperature, construction materials such as cement and concrete can perform their functions in a short period of time, which can greatly shorten the construction period. Coupled with thermal expansion and contraction, indoor formaldehyde dissipates quickly. For homeowners, summer decoration is a very wise choice. No matter which one it is, yellow sand is an indispensable basic material.
Yunxi City is adjacent to the Sishui River in the north and has a unique environment for sand mining. Although the city government has cracked down on illegal sand mining, some people still take risks.
In the early morning of July 30, the moon was dark and the wind was high, a cement sand dredger sailed towards the middle of the river in the dark.
"'Big Nose', is your news unreliable? Are you sure there will be no inspection team tonight?" In the cockpit of the ship, a man asked slightly worriedly.
"I said 'water cannon', can you drive your boat well? This horse is not fat without night grass. We are just making money! Can you still think that money is hot?" the man called Big Nose cheered. .
¡°Damn it, you¡¯re right, if you catch a boat and sell it, the greater the risk, the greater the reward!¡± The water cannon gritted its teeth and quickly turned the rudder and headed upstream.
People like them who have been engaged in illegal sand mining for a long time are well aware of the distribution of yellow sand on the river bed. Due to the erosion of the water flow, good quality yellow sand is basically accumulated in the upper reaches of the river bed.
Of course, this kind of over-exploitation will ultimately be the unlucky people of our Yunxi City. The most obvious cause of sand mining in the upper reaches is soil erosion leading to sedimentation. Long-term mining will lead to river bank collapse and water pollution. It is not difficult to see its harm from the high prevalence rate of stone disease in Yunxi City.
"Stop, let me check the water level!" Big Nose made a pause motion towards the water cannon.
"Okay!" The water cannon pressed the switch on the ship, allowing the ship to remain stable despite the countercurrent.
When the boat stopped, Big Nose dropped an oval object the size of soap into the river. In the middle of the object was an insulated wire, and the end of the wire was connected to an electronic display. As the object sank, the numbers on the electronic screen were beating rapidly. Before long, the numbers were changing back and forth to one decimal point.
"How's it going?" Water Cannon asked anxiously.
"No, the water level here is too high and the sand pumping pipe is not long enough. Drive a little further." Big Nose waved his hand and said.
"Yes!"
A two-person sand dredging boat like theirs is the most low-end type. A driving cab, a sand storage cabin, and a sand mining machine are all the belongings. The price of this kind of sand mining boat is at most the same as that of a mid-range car.
Because of its low price, its sand mining principle is also quite simple and crude. A cylindrical sand pumping pipe that goes straight to the bottom of the river, driven by the engine, pumps the fine yellow sand at the bottom of the river bed into the sand cabin on the ship through multi-layer filtration. If you still can't understand, you can imagine the scene of sucking fruit pulp when you drink milk tea. The two principles are exactly the same, except that the former has a filtering function.
"Stop, it's almost done here!" Big Nose shouted as the boat moved forward for about fifty meters.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The stop button in the cabin was pressed again.
"Is the water level enough?" This time the water cannon ran directly over.
"Well, that's about it. I'll work here today!" Big Nose glanced at the electronic screen in his hand and said with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll kill the chicken. After paying homage to the river god, we'll start." After saying this, the water cannon turned and walked towards the cockpit.
In our area, many people who live by the river have this traditional habit, and this is also a rule passed down from their ancestors. Because in their view, collecting sand is asking for money from the river god, and killing chickens to worship the god means "reciprocity". Otherwise, they will be mercilessly cursed by the river god. This habit is an expression of the simple spirit of the working people in the early years, but it can be passed down to this day, and at most it is a psychological comfort.
After a while, the water cannon walked out of the cockpit with a rooster in his left hand and a shiny watermelon knife in his right hand. The cock in his hand made a clucking sound from time to time.
"Can you turn it on?" the water cannon asked through gritted teeth.
Big Nose took a deep breath. He did not answer directly, but frowned and engaged in a fierce psychological struggle. according toAccording to their rules, as long as they kill chickens, they have to turn on the sand pump to work, but because they are mining sand illegally, if it is started and the noisy machine sounds attract the inspection team, they may face Risks of heavy fines or even confiscation of the vessel.
"Should we open it or not?" The water cannon has already put the knife on the rooster's neck. As long as the big nose says a word, the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out.
¡°Damn it, it¡¯s a blessing, not a curse, it¡¯s a curse that can¡¯t be avoided! Go away!¡± Big Nose stamped his foot on the deck and said.
"Hi!" The water cannon said with a ferocious expression as he cut the watermelon knife in his hand into the rooster's neck.
"Cock!" After the two painful crows, blood flowed out rapidly along the rooster's throat.
"You go and reflect the boat, and I'll put down the anchor!" The "yingchuan" that Big Bi said is a local saying, which means to sprinkle chicken blood around the boat, which means: "River God, This chicken is our ship¡¯s tribute to you.¡±
There is no turning back when the bow is fired. The water cannon pinches the chicken's neck with its left hand and tilts the chicken's lower body with its right hand to let more blood flow out of the throat.
"River God, River God, keep us safe at night, and don't come to the inspection team. As long as we return safely, we will burn two boys and girls for you later." The water cannon muttered as he walked.
"Okay, God, God, hurry up and get to work!" Big Nose patted the dust in his hands and urged.
"Got it!" The water cannon threw the rooster that had lost too much blood into the cabin and walked quickly to the sand pump.
¡°My Audi, my wife¡¯s Dior, my child¡¯s Oreo, come here!¡± The water cannon said a rhyming catchphrase, and then he pressed the switch button of the sand pump.
Bang bang bang bang, the engine roared.
"Why doesn't the sand come out?" The machine was turned on for a long time without any response, Big Nose said to himself in confusion.
"Could it be that our pipes can't reach the bottom of the river?" The water cannon also had some doubts.
"No way! You can try moving the gear up again!" Big Nose ordered.
"Okay!" The water cannon responded and pressed the green button in the middle of the machine.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The two of them could clearly feel that the lower end of the sand extraction pipe was shaking violently.
Snapped! The water cannon instinctively shut down the machine.
"What's going on? What happened just now?" Water Cannon asked worriedly.
"I'm not very sure either. You can try firing it again!" Big Nose winked at the water cannon.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? As the machine started up again, another violent sound came from the water.
Snapped! The water cannon was afraid that the machine would be damaged by this unknown thing, so he hurriedly turned off the switch.
"It's probably that something under the water has hit the sand pump. Let's move to another place!"
"But what if we just brought a chicken and it's reflected in the boat?"
"His grandma, can you still believe this? Money is king now!" Maybe it was because of the bad start this time, Big Nose was a little angry.
"Okay, okay, come on, why don't I listen to you?" Water Cannon was afraid that Big Nose would be angry, so he followed behind and responded.
"You go sail the boat, and I'll measure the water level at the bow!" Big Nose waved his hand.
The water cannon nodded and walked towards the cockpit. Just as he stepped into the cockpit, a scream came to his ears from the bow of the ship.
"What happened?" The water cannon returned to the bow of the ship in a few steps.
Big Nose was obviously startled by the sudden scene just now. He gulped and said, "Damn it, I really had the bad luck of eight lifetimes tonight and bumped into the 'River Piao'."
"River floating" is the traditional name for floating corpses among the people. For people who have been working on the water for a long time, river floating is no stranger at all.
"It's unlucky, it's unlucky!" The water cannon obviously doesn't have as good of a mentality as Big Nose.
"What's so unlucky about pushing it downstream with a bamboo pole?" Big Nose said disapprovingly.
"No, absolutely not. If someone dies unjustly in the river, we will be in trouble!" The water cannon said while bowing to the floating corpse in the water.
"Is there any significance in this?" Big Nose's disdainful expression just now became somewhat restrained.
After the water cannon saluted, he turned around and said, "I heard my grandfather say that if you meet a river raft in the river, it means it may be asking for something. If we don't pay attention, we will be haunted by it."
"Real or false?" Big Nose asked doubtfully.
"Do you still remember the gangster from the same village as us? How did he die?" Water Cannon said mysteriously.
¡°Didn¡¯t he get hit and killed in a car accident?¡±
"I heard that he was possessed by a water ghost. You said he was so smart, so why did you say he was hit and killed? Let me tell you, you would rather believe it than not." The water cannon said vividly. .
"What should we do?" Big Nose's outlook on life and values ??were instantly shattered by the water cannon, and he asked with some worry.
"What else can we do? I think it's the fault of it if we can't collect sand at night! This must be an unjust ghost, please report it to the police immediately!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Was he killed by accident? "
