"People have started going into the deep forests of the Qinglong Mountains to fetch water. The vegetation there is dense, the water dries slowly, and there are still some water sources to be found."
But almost every water source I found was taken over. Families with many able-bodied men monopolized the good water sources, leaving only a little water. In this heat, the water was almost drying up. There might be some water today, but it could be dry tomorrow. I might have to go back into the mountains tomorrow.”
