水的金贵,也许只有在旱原上长期生活的人才有认识。 六十年代中期,我被派往陕西泾阳县西北方向的一个农村搞社教。那个村子有1000余口人,村民淳朴,村风融融。全村人吃水仅靠村中的一口井。那一口井上,盖着(?)木房,每日,我就见得小木房下,或站或(?)或坐着很多男男女女,他们按先后次序从井下往上汲水。小木房下辘轳转子很粗,如桶一般,被固定在面凿了孔的石碑上。辘轳转子的两端缠绕两条粗粗的牛皮绳。绞动辘轳时,满满一桶水上来了,那另一只空桶便下井去。因为井深达30余丈,绞水必由两个人操作。一个人使足劲儿摇辘轳,一个人席地坐于井边,两条腿在井上撇开,两脚蹬死,双手抓住井绳往井下拽,给摇辘轳的人助一把力。那井哟,深得让地面上的人看不见井下的水,打亮手电筒,才可看见井底一星儿水的亮光。 Jingui water, perhaps only long-term life in the drylands of people have understanding. In the mid-1960s, I was sent to engage in a social education in a rural area in the northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province. That village has more than 1000 people, the villagers honest, village style. Whole village people draft only rely on a well in the village. That well, covered with (?) Wooden room, every day, I saw a small wooden room, or station or (?) Or sitting a lot of men and women, they are in accordance with the order from the down-draw water. Under the small wooden house, the rotor of the wheel was very thick, like a bucket, and was fixed on a stone with a drilled hole. Two ends of the rotor are wound with two thick leather straps. Twist the potter’s wheel, full bucket of water came, then another empty bucket went to go. Because well depth of more than 30 feet, wrinted by two people to operate. A man made enough effort to stir up a wheel, a man sitting on the edge of the well, two legs aside in the well, two legs die dead, grabbed the well with both hands down the hole to pull the rope, to help people who help the wheel reel. Well that yo, won the ground people can not see the underground water, flashlight flashlight, we can see the bottom of a star children’s water light.
