在县里,我住的院子不大,院中森森修竹最惹人眼,所以我谓之竹园。竹园有榆叶梅、落叶松,还有蔷薇、玫瑰、丁香、月季……最高最大的则是几株泡桐。夏日,阔大的桐叶把阳光切割得支离破碎,重重浓阴直逼门窗,绿得几乎使人透不过气来;有人几番建议要伐掉树木以利采光,我谢绝了这份好意,难得干旱山区有这片生气勃勃的绿阴。出了小院无须远行,便是绵延不绝的黄土旱山。联合国有关组织的专家曾论证,此类旱山区每平方公里养育人口的极限不过二十余人,论断的依据首先是可利用的水资源。事实上,这里每平方公里养育的人早已数倍于专家认定的极限。水,怎能不极度匮乏!缺水的生命怎能不格外艰辛!山里人匆匆相逢,开口先问的总是:“你们那儿下(雨)了没有?”比问吃问穿问寒问暖还自然而然,这一问该是蕴含着多少对干旱的切肤之痛和对雨水的刻骨企盼?水荒也殃及山区的动物,在那些最干旱的山庄,拉水的机、车还未进庄,家畜、野牲早已紧随而来,甚至抢水的野兔 In the county, I live in the yard is not large, the courtyard of the most attractive forest man-made bamboo, so I said that Chuk Yuen.

Water shortage also affects the animals in the mountains, in those most dry Villa, pull the water machine, the car has not yet entered the village, livestock, wild Catastrophe has followed, or even grab the water of the hare
