bonanza

Chapter 238
After sleeping until midnight, Yang Dongsheng was woken up by a foul smell.

This stench is more disgusting than the toilet in the dog days, and there is also a bitter taste mixed in the stench, which pierces the brain.

Yang Dongsheng got up, sniffed the room for a long time, and finally found that the smell came from the crack in the door.

Open the door, the smell is stronger.

Ding Wu had already gotten up, and was holding a flashlight to look out, "Mr. Yang, this smell seems to come from the river!"

Yang Dongsheng went back to the house and changed into mining boots and a flashlight.

Yang Jiayun and Yang Huai's house also turned on the lights.

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the silt by the river has melted at some point. When a few people came to the river together, the stench was so strong that it almost made people sick.

The flashlight shines on the river, and the whole river is white.

Large sheets of white foam floated on the surface of the river, almost blocking the river.

"Who the hell sprinkled so much washing powder when he was full?" Yang Jiayun said cursingly.

"How can washing powder smell?" Yang Huai said.

"This is sewage from the sewage treatment plant!" Yang Dongsheng vaguely remembered what was going on.

"There are fish!"

There is a small puddle next to the river, and there are more than a dozen fish densely gathered in it.

Yang Jiayun casually picked up one of them.

This big grass carp is as long as an adult's upper arm. Its body exudes a foul smell. Its fins shake weakly and its gills open and close. The gills that should have been bright red have now turned black.

"Throw it away, it's poisonous!" Yang Dongsheng shouted at Yang Jiayun.

Yang Dongsheng finally remembered what was going on.

There was such a pollution in the previous life, and it should be at this time. Later, I heard that a sewage treatment plant in Lu Province broke the dam, and the sewage along their river directly rushed into the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then went all the way south...

Because they are close to the sewage leak point and the river is relatively flat, the pollution is particularly serious. The fish in the entire river are poisoned to death, and eventually it becomes a dead river.

When Yang Dongsheng selected the river channel, he could see that the content of cadmium and lead in the surface silt was much higher than that in the deep silt, and there were also a bunch of compounds that most of Yang Dongsheng could not name.

"The house can't be lived in. There are still a few empty houses on Yangma Street. Let's move there and hide for two days!"

At dawn, the whole village was shocked.

Yang Dongsheng finally saw the situation of the river clearly.

Most of the foam on the river surface has been washed away at this time, and the originally clear river water has turned into the color of rice wine, exuding a pungent stench all the time.

In the gentler part of the river, there is a layer of fish with their belly turned upside down, and a group of desperate people are actually fishing for those fish.

"Don't fish it, this fish is poisonous, don't eat it!" Yang Dongsheng yelled at these people.

The adults and children who fished were scattered when they heard the words, and as soon as Yang Dongsheng walked away, they secretly ran back to fish.

Yang Dongsheng knew that he didn't have the appeal, so he could only rely on Yang Wu and his loudspeaker for this matter.

When we arrived at the village committee, Yang Wu and Ma Fengshou were there.

"Uncle Fifth, Director Ma!"

"Dongsheng, what's going on?" Yang Wu's face flushed anxiously.

The spring was cold, but Yang Wu was sweating profusely.

The person he sent out to find the problem has not returned until now. There are only two possibilities for this to happen—either the idiot has been searching all the way up and has not found the source of the problem; or the problem is too big for him to come back report.

"I just got an unconfirmed news that a sewage treatment plant in the upper reaches of Lu Province had a dam failure! Uncle Wu, Director Ma! I hope the village can come forward and report this quickly!"

"Is the news accurate?"

"I heard from a friend in business that this person's words are quite reliable!"

"Dong Sheng, why don't you go to the town with me?" Yang Wu was afraid of taking responsibility for his wrong words.

"Okay!" Even if they didn't say anything, Yang Dongsheng still wanted to meet the town leaders.

"Old horse, let's go!" Yang Wu stood up and wanted to go.

"There is one more thing, I have to ask Uncle Wu to talk about it on the loudspeaker! I found that someone was catching dead fish to eat. That stuff is poisonous. If you eat too little, you will have diarrhea, and if you eat too much, you will die."

"Is this group of careless people short of these two coins?" Yang Wu turned on the loudspeaker and cursed at those fishers.

When I came out of the village committee, I saw that most of the fishers had dispersed!
Occasionally there were two who were not afraid of death, Yang Wu went down and yelled, scaring them to run faster than rabbits.

At this time, Shunhe Township has officially changed its name to Shunhe Town.

The whole town was also in chaos at this time. As soon as he heard that they were here to report and had accurate information, Secretary Zhao met them immediately.

After listening to Yang Wu's introduction, Secretary Zhao asked Yang Dongsheng to contact his friend on the spot.

Yang Dongsheng made up a random excuse, saying that his friend went to another place and called him when he passed upstream and found a problem, and he would not be back for at least a week.

If you go to another place these days, it is basically equivalent to losing contact. At most, I will leave you a hotel number.

After hearing the words, Secretary Zhao also knew that there was nothing he could do. He didn't think that Yang Dongsheng would lie to him about this kind of thing, as long as the root cause of the problem was not within his jurisdiction, it was easy to say.

"You go back first, I have to go to the county!" Secretary Zhao stood up, and he had to report to the county leaders quickly.

Yang Dongsheng couldn't let him go, and he didn't say anything about himself, "Secretary Zhao, after I found out the problem in the early morning, I took some mud and water samples and sent them to the city for testing by acquaintances! The samples detected far more than normal. Levels of ammonia, nitrogen, cadmium, lead and other ingredients. These substances will cause great damage to the human body. Adults will damage the brain nerves and cause infertility. What is more serious is that the fetus will develop deformities and children will have mental retardation. Especially Once lead enters the human body, it is difficult to excrete. The cadmium and lead have now been deposited in the mud, even if the sewage flows away, once the water from the river is used to irrigate the land, it will still poison the people!"

"Which son of a bitch did this immoral thing, isn't this asking us to cut off our children and grandchildren?" Yang Wu cursed angrily.

As the temperature rises, in order to make the wheat turn green quickly in the warm season, it is necessary to water the wheat in the field.

Secretary Zhao sat back on his chair. As the head of the town, he had to think more.

River pollution will not only cause agricultural losses, but also fisheries. I am afraid that the fish in the river will not be edible in the future, in case it seeps into the groundwater again...

"Didn't your acquaintances say how to solve it?" Secretary Zhao asked.

"The solution is actually very simple, that is, let the river flow faster and wash away the silt by yourself, but the river channel is now heavily silted up!"

"Cleaning up the river? This is a lot of money!"

"Yes!" Yang Dongsheng nodded, "As far as I know, neither the city nor the county's finances have this kind of money."

"Our town is even more out of money!" Secretary Zhao sighed.

Yang Dongsheng saw that the fire was almost ready and took the opportunity to say, "I have a way to kill two birds with one stone. Would you like to hear from Secretary Zhao?"
