Under the heavy rain has been off and on for three days, has not stopped.
The looked up at the cloudy day, still some melancholy in heart.
Three days ago, received a squadron detachment command: according to the meteorological department, there is going to be big to storm recently in most areas in the province, all officers and soldiers to stop off, ready to put into fighting and fighting.
Take the rain small clearance, to all officers and soldiers in military collection, organizing emergency training.
Correspondent ran hastily: “captain, you’re wanted on the phone office.” “Who’s that? Can’t you see I am training?” Army some impatient.
“Captain, and call your mother-in-law said find you have something urgent, you still go to answer it.” Captain operators see not happy, says carefully.
Army handed the command training task to vice captain, and trotted back to the office.
Phone call is my mother-in-law. Originally, the wife has been pregnant for nine months, according to the calculation, the day after tomorrow should be the due date. Mother-in-law call, just want to tell, his wife suddenly feel belly pain, today could be an early sign of labor, let him come home immediately, accompany a wife to the hospital.
Squadron is combat readiness, however, as a team, how can at a crucial moment from jobs? Army some difficult, the in the mind also feel guilty.
Army and his wife married for eight years, I’ve always wanted to have a child.
The third year of marriage, the wife once had a pregnant. But because of an accident, which leads to the wife flow production. At that time, the people on both sides of the old man is miles away, to come and take care. Wife there is no way, with all the tears, silently, went to the hospital alone. The army, and perform a particular task outside. In those days, no one to accompany beside his wife.
When the army dragged tired body walked into the door, greeted, is wife, want to cry, lonely helpless eyes. The liabilities, arms, hug his wife tightly in her arms, crying.
For this thing, a deep remorse and guilt for a long time.
After the second wife pregnant, in order to prevent anything again, the client take mother-in-law, at home to take care of his wife.
Originally, the wife to production, has been reported to the team, ready to take a few days off, go home to have a good time with my wife. Can report just up, ordered the troops into combat readiness state.
Home army, is apart from the squadron has forty minutes. If take half a day off, can go back to accompany his wife for a while. At the very least, can take his wife to the hospital.
But military thought, as a team, cannot leave a job in the critical moment, really want scrambled, one thousand more than one hundred people are waiting for him?
With tears, with my mother-in-law would explain, says troops is combat readiness, may at any time to flood a line, you really back to don’t go, mother-in-law, please take good care of the wife.
Mother-in-law not hangs up the phone.
Army has just returned to the training ground, he received a detachment of emergency command, a town fifty kilometers away from the camp, serious debris flow disaster, more than two hundred villagers’ life and property at stake!
Army led his team to a driving speed, rushed to the disaster area, panic rising.
The rain, but also in abundance in the underground. Rage of muddy water mixed with debris, swallowed with a simple country. At the foot of the mountain, river and landslides, have a few homes from flooding.
Site of a town cadre of army, thanks to the villagers run fast, otherwise, the consequence is unimaginable.
Looking at the other side of the river water has diffuse halfway up on a small slope, a group of villagers that shivering, homelessness, the nose have a sour feeling immediately. Where a wankou thick trees, is also the wind shakes west east.
Mama of, give my life also to save them. The hard thinking.
Army with the soldiers, carrying a large bundle of thick rope, along the direction of the floods, looking for place to anyone.
Water is a bit slow in one place, is more obvious, and the distance from the other side the nearest place, the tie one end of the rope firmly in their waist. Then, commanded the soldiers to put the other end is fixed on a tree.
Captain soldiers know what to do, are well-documented: “let me in! Let me in!” Army is a wave of his hand “do this I have experience, you who don’t also fight! Remember, you want to get a grip on the rope, I go after, a little let go again. After I secured the rope to the other side, you grasp the rope again in the past.”
“By the way, people don’t have in the past, three rows in this way, a row and second row in the past. When you are crossing the river, follow a look after each other, hand never let go the rope.” Near water, the army has repeatedly warned soldiers.
Soldiers know captain temper, who also dare not speak again, just bite a tooth, violently grabbed the rope.
River is more than fifty meters wide, the river deep and chest. Army on a root thick sticks, used to support the body, arms walked unsteadily spent 40 minutes. Several times, the hearts of the soldiers, all mention her throat!
Finally close to the villagers. Secured the rope army, sign for soldiers in the past.
Army soldiers into a group of three people, one is responsible for the villagers, two responsible for assist.
In this way, army led soldiers, took six hours, rescued two hundred and thirty-five villagers. During the army and the soldiers m not into, just drank some water from town cadre.
When the last villagers were army after come back, the black at the moment, suddenly fainted to the ground. A hard stone, just the pad under the left arm.

I don’t know who suddenly cried: “salute!”
Ten soldiers sobbed and cleanly raised his right hand, and rinse rinse to shout together: “sister-in-law, don’t cry!”

CYA Disclaimer: The following is intended for reference purposes only and not as legal advice.
Do you own the water running under your property? If you’re not the kind of person who would care one way or another, then read no further (although it is beyond me how anyone could fail to be fascinated by this topic!). Internationally, water law is of more critical importance than most people realize, because it is water rather than oil that causes the most political tension in the arid Arabian Peninsula.
The law concerning underground water is quite fractured in the United States, with several competing legal theories, this one or that one dominating depending on where you live and how much water they have here. Note that I am not talking about underground streams here but diffuse water, the stuff that percolates up to the surface or remains still. This matters more and more the dryer the climate you live in. Following is a very simplified summary of the four major legal doctrines:
1. Absolute Ownership
Finders, keepers. You can pump all the water you want from your own land, even if it squeezes the land of neighboring property like a sponge and leaves them dry as a bone. No slant drilling allowed, however.
2. Reasonable Use
You can pump as much as you can reasonably use for “beneficial uses”. How much is “reasonable” is anybody’s guess, but the answer can probably be found in state case law (and may depend on how much money you pay the judge!).
3. Correlative Rights
All owners of property over an underground basin jointly own the underground water and may only use a reasonable proportion of the annual supply. Note that this is different from #2 above, because what is “reasonable” is a lot more dependent ion the total supply of water in the basin – the less there is, the less water you can take and still be reasonable.
4. Appropriation
This one applies to underground streams as well. Under this doctrine, people who don’t even own land over the basin can take water out as long as they can do so without trespassing.
