Reservoir Ranger Code of Conduct

The more you see it, the stronger it becomes. Lu Chen had been unemployed for two months and owed rent, so he took a job as a reservoir ranger. Room and board are included, and monthly payments are included. There is only one requirement: be able to read drawings and be able to keep vigil. On the first day he took office, his predecessor disappeared, leaving an old manual on his desk, a record book with eight days of broken records. Article 1 of the manual: "The ranger reads the water level once a day at the hour of the hour and the hour of the unitary hour, that is, at eight o'clock in the morning and eight o'clock in the evening. The readings are taken from the integer scale of the water gauge. Take a look, write it down, and put it together." There is a line of unfamiliar annotation at the bottom: "Two eyes are not wrong. No one has made it clear to me about three eyes." Article 7 of the manual: "Keep the copper whistle with you. Three short whistles are for patrolling, and two long whistles are for returning. Only one whistle is used, and no second whistle is played." Another line of annotation at the bottom: "If the library whistles back to you, no matter how many times it is whistled, do not answer the second whistle." He thought this was a job of watching water. Later I learned that you don't need to look at the water. The code does not govern the water, but the way of looking - when to look, where to look, and how many times to look are all written down. The water level drawn two hours in advance, the eighth extra beacon light, someone knocking on the door at night when the water rose, a night handover in the name of the ex outside the door, the "reading is normal" in the record book that is not my own handwriting... He is a surveyor, and his professional instinct is to see, measure and memorize. It happens to be the most taboo thing in this business. Abnormality is not outside the code, but in the gaps of the code.
