"Bang, bang, bang," a dull knock on the door pulled Xue Xiang back from his sleep. He had been tossing for half the night last night, and the wind was clear and the moon was soft outside the window. He had a good night's sleep, without even a dream.
At this moment, Xue Xiang was woken up by someone. He raised his hand to look at his watch. It was just past seven o'clock. He stood up and opened the door. He saw that there were many people crowded at the door. Most of them were the upper class of the backing village who had been scolded by him last night.
Buildings.
"Captain, the group of commune members last night, oh no, those village gangsters were frozen badly.
Their faces are all black and blue now. Should we put them down from the tree first? If they get cold again, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they might lose their lives." The speaker was the honest accountant Su Shunmin, who was wearing a khaki shabby suit.
The cotton-padded clothes said something while snoring and snorting green snot from the nose.
Last night, the gang of village gangsters were summoned by Li Yongjun. They were eager to show off as militiamen. They took off all their clothes except for a pair of underpants. They hung them up for a few hours and then tied them to a tree overnight so they could freeze.
.
At first, these village gangsters were still strong-willed, unable to resist, and they were still swearing. But with their hands tied and half-suspended in the air, the pain in their hand muscles and arm muscles was unspeakable. After a while, they started to curse again and again.
I can't utter a complete sentence.
The gangsters in the village first scolded, then screamed, then begged for mercy, and then burst into tears, almost collapsing. The moon was at the top of the sky, and the other members of the commune had gone home to sleep early. No one was willing to stand up for this group of people who were usually idle.
The hateful guys say nice things, and another group of good family members has always been the target of bullying and blackmail by these gangsters, and now they are even more busy adding insult to injury.
However, Xue Xiang estimated that time was almost up, and knew that if he was hung up again, the two village gangsters would be unable to use their arms for a few months. This was not what he wanted, so he ordered everyone to let the village gangsters down and still tied them up.
Freezing in the trees.
Although it is early spring, the mountains are particularly wet and cold. Fortunately, these village gangsters are all young and strong.
As a young man with strong blood, and already accustomed to the climate of the backing village, if it gets freezing overnight, it is unlikely that anyone will be killed.
"Put it down and ask the old ginger in the cafeteria to cook a pot of ginger soup and drink it for them." Xue Xiang agreed with Su Shunmin's opinion. These village gangsters will still be the main force in building the canal later. How can they do it so quickly?
It was so messed up.
Su Shunmin received the order and went straight to the northwest corner of the rice field to rescue "common people".
"Why are you blocking my door so early in the morning? What's the important thing?" After dismissing Su Shunmin, Xue Xiang said to the cadres...
"Captain, aren't we going to organize the members to burn mountains today? Everyone has gathered now and is waiting for you to give the order." The Secretary of the Youth League Committee who spoke, Han Donglin, was a long-faced man. He was thirty-seven or eighteen years old, but he had many supporters in Shantun.
Many intellectuals have attended middle school.
"Burn the mountains! Why burn the mountains? Who gave the order?"
The mountains have been burned so that the land can be carved out to create fields." Xue Xiang asked, and everyone was confused: Yesterday you came down with Director Ma of the commune, but you didn't know the top priority of our backing village at the moment? Or was it Li Yongjun?
I got Xue Xiang’s answer.
Xue Zhou slapped his head and suddenly remembered the day he first arrived at Kuaihuopu Commune. The leaders of the District Revolutionary Committee happened to be having a meeting in Kuaihuopu, and what they were discussing was the matter of opening up wasteland and creating land.
After Li Yongjun finished speaking, Xue Xiang was silent for a long time and raised his eyes to look towards Jinniu Mountain. But he saw the rising sun, the lush mountain forest bathed in a faint halo, peaceful and quiet, the birds flying in the forest, the orioles singing and the swallows dancing,
A gust of mountain wind blows, and what hits your face is the footsteps of spring and the breath of life.
But among all the people in front of me, does anyone have the poetic and picturesque mood of Xue Daguan? In an era where even the stomach is full, talking about protecting the environment, embracing green, art and humanities is really crazy!
Xue Xiang didn't know how to persuade everyone. At this moment, he couldn't speak with his fists, otherwise, he would really become a reckless man. But coming from a later generation, he had experienced the gray sky and the ubiquitous exhaust gas.
Planting green mountains and green waters is a matter of cherishment and nostalgia. If he were to personally order the destruction of these green mountains and rivers, no matter what, he would not be able to open them.
"How much land can be created by burning this mountain?" Xue Xiang asked without answering.
"It must be six or seven thousand acres at least. Captain, you should know that our backing village has a small area and a large number of people. We have a strong labor force of 1,340 people. The average per capita land is less than two acres. In addition, there are many
dry,
The output of the poor land is horribly low, so our village has been busy for a year and still owes the commune public grain." The person who answered was Han Donglin.
Xue Xiang looked at Han Donglin, who was dressed in hundreds of robes, and continued: "How much labor will it take to clear up wasteland if this mountain is burned to white ground?"
"Captain, our village is not short of labor, but it is short of land! You don't know that in previous years, when other brigades were still busy with work, our village has been idle for a long time. For example, right now, it is the leisure month.
, Our village is locked up by Erdaopo again. We can't go to the city to do side jobs like other brigades. It's not an option for everyone to be so idle." The person who answered the call this time was Zhong Yuan, the captain of the small team.
A great young man in his twenties.
After hearing what Han Donglin and Zhong Yuan said, Xue Xiang fell silent. He originally thought that people living close to the mountains would have feelings for this mountain, but he never expected that people's desire to burn mountains and create fields was so great.
of intensity.
"This Jinniu Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, doesn't it produce anything? The products and medicinal materials in the mountain are sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, which is also a huge amount of income. Isn't it worse than the harvest in the fields? Why must it be burned?
Where is the mountain?" After a long silence, Xue Xiang asked the question that had been holding in his heart for a long time.
At first, Xue Xiang heard about the three dangers of Kaoshan Village when he and Mashankui were on their way to Kaoshan Village. Mashankui seemed to have something to hide, and Xue Xiang vaguely only heard the words "Three Tigers of the Cai Family" and "Suotian Road"
Of these two evils, the last one is only known to be related to Mount Taurus.
On the afternoon of the day he arrived at Kaoshan Village, after seeing off Mashankui, he walked around the village and walked around. Especially Jinniu Mountain behind the members' houses, he even walked along the foot of the mountain. But he saw the mountain
The bushes underfoot were lush and dense, with no cracks visible. It was obvious that no one had set foot on them for many years.
If it is like this in one or two places, that's it. After walking through more than 400 households, he also went around half a circle at the foot of Jinniu Mountain, but it was the same everywhere. It seemed that the members had been setting foot on Jinniu Mountain for many years.
Xue Xiang originally planned to ask the good old man Su Shunmin secretly, but before he could find a chance, the cadres of the backing village all asked to burn the mountain.
At that moment, he simply stopped hiding it and asked directly.
As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, everyone held their breath together, and for a moment, the scene became eerily silent.
Previously, everyone was agitated and full of complaints. They all thought of words and were ready to persuade this captain who was strong in force and seemed to have low intelligence. Who knew that Xue Xiang actually changed the taboo that had been in the village for nearly twenty years?
When it comes out, no one can answer even half a word.
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Xue Xiang knew that there must be something hidden, and encouraged: "It's okay, who knows, just tell me. Our members are not afraid of things by nature. If there is a problem, we will solve it. That's it."
It doesn't matter if it's bizarre, we must be realistic. We will never act like someone who is guilty of something." After saying that, Xue Xiang swept his eyes one by one, intending to encourage him. Unexpectedly, before he finished scanning the circle, there were actually two people there.
Opened at the same time...
"Captain, if others don't tell me, I will tell you that I will risk my life..."
"Captain, the matter is not that evil. I believe it was spread through rumors."
The former was the deputy team captain Li Yongjun who spoke, and the latter was the team secretary Han Donglin who spoke. Both of them spoke very fast. When they opened their mouths, they spouted a long list. When they realized that someone was competing with them, they just started talking.
They all stopped.
Xue Zhou looked at the two people with a smile. At this time, the scorching sun happened to move over, and the golden halo hit his face. He smiled brightly.
At this time, Xue Xiang still couldn't see the intention of Li Yongjun and Han Donglin to get closer. If the two of them had deliberately distanced themselves, they would not have taken the initiative to reveal the hidden secrets that Mashankui was not willing to reveal easily.
Yong Naban, just don't show up in front of him.
Xue Xiang's guess was indeed correct. Li Yongjun and Han Donglin were just trying to make a fool of themselves. As for the two of them wanting to stick closely to him, Mr.
He has accumulated power for many years, but he is not a vegetarian.
It turns out that there are only five members of the management committee of the Kaoshantun Production Brigade. The old party secretary and captain passed away two years ago, and there are only four left. They are the deputy secretary of the village branch, the first deputy captain Cai Gaoli, and the deputy captain.
Tie Yong, deputy captain Li Yongjun, and village youth league committee secretary Han Donglin.
While the old captain was still alive, there were already faint signs of being unable to suppress Cai Gaoli. After the old captain's death, Kuoshantun became the domain of the Cai family. Cai Gaoli had his cousin Cai Gaozhi, his brother-in-law Guo Minjia, and his son Cai Guoqing.
A group of village gangsters and social tyrants entangled their eyes, and the backing village was suddenly shrouded in darkness by the Cai family.
After Cai Gaoli succeeded, the remaining three team members, Tie Yong, immediately defected to him from the old captain: Li Yongjun was a straight-forward person and looked down upon his character, knowing that the words of his deputy captain did not count.
Just ignore the matter: As for Han Donglin, he also wanted to vote for him, but Cai Gaoli didn't like him at all. Tie Yong was a member of the team in charge of the brigade's work after all, and he, the secretary of the Youth League Committee, was just occupying his seat, so why did he need it?
beneficial?
Ordinarily, one of the remaining three team members was subdued by Cai Gaoli, and the other two were turned into soy sauce gangs by him. Cai Gaoli should have everything going smoothly, but who knew things were so evil. It has been more than two years since the old team leader passed away, but the society
