Chapter 15 Three things to do when a new official takes office (12)
When Li Yongjun said this, he coughed. Just as he was about to speak out, Han Donglin seized the opportunity and took over the words: "Old Li, you'd better take a rest. You're talking until your throat is smoking. I'll do the rest."
You can add more. I happened to be back from school at the time, so I know everything about what happened next."
Li Yongjun rolled his eyes at Han Donglin and did not refute. At this moment, he was twitching while talking, and his throat was indeed a little dry.
Han Donglin made a comeback, and his long face almost became a square shape when he smiled, "That day I was returning to the village after school, and there happened to be a members' meeting in the village. I squeezed in to take a closer look, and not only Secretary Sun from the district was there.
, Secretary Liu of the county party committee and County Magistrate Fang were both there. At that time, I was puzzled.
When did the leaders of the county come to the corner of the corner? When Secretary Liu of the county party committee gave a speech, I understood what was going on. This meeting was actually a hush-hush meeting. Secretary Liu asked us not to believe rumors, not spread rumors, and not engage in feudalism
Superstitious, it is said that Zhao Laosan and Guo Dazui died due to work-related injuries, and the county will commend and provide compensation to their families."
"Only after I inquired more carefully, I realized how big of a deal happened last night. The county party committee and district leaders held a meeting in our Kaoshan Village, and then went to Hongmiao Village. They said the same thing again. In short,
, just want to tell this matter
Cover it up. I think they are not concerned about the issue of whether the person died or not. What is important is how the person died. Of course it can only be a work-related injury, and it is definitely not caused by mountain spirits. In the zz climate at that time, which leader is not afraid of fighting with feudal fans?
Do you even believe it? In fact, this theory of death due to work-related injuries can fool others, but no one in this happy shop knows what is going on. After that, no one dared to enter Jinniu Mountain. This mountain has been around since 1958.
Since that accident,
It was automatically closed. Even during the most difficult two years of June 0 and June 1, we mountain people had to guard the mountains full of fruits and wild animals to starve.
, but never came out again.”
Having said this, Han Donglin turned to Xue Xiang and smiled bitterly, and said: "Captain, now you know why we are burning the mountain, right? It's not that we are ungrateful. This Jinniu Mountain has fed our ancestors for generations in the past. We
How could I not have feelings for it? It can be said that there is no such thing as Taurus Mountain
, there is no backing village. If we are not really forced to do anything, who would be willing to destroy the foundation of our ancestors? Speaking of which, I am not afraid of you saying that our party's style is not upright. There must be evil spirits in this mountain. That night Zhao Laosan
He and Guo Dazui disappeared out of thin air. It was definitely not the work of some jackals, tigers and leopards. As soon as they arrived, Jinniu Mountain was full of chaos.
For more than ten miles, the old hunters had already turned this mountain into a natural breeding ground. Tigers, leopards, jackals and other powerful beasts had been hunted to extinction just to allow wild animals such as pheasants, hares and wild boars to grow; secondly, even if
There are also tigers, leopards and jackals that have slipped through the net. It is impossible for them to be so capable and kill a person out of thin air.
The short sound is easy to explain. It may be that a tiger bit off the neck, but there is no blood leaking, which is abnormal. Therefore, it must be a ghost and a mountain spirit, otherwise it would be impossible to explain. Ghosts are afraid of fire.
No matter how powerful the monster is, it can't beat our fire, so this mountain must be burned."
"You're a bullshit ghost. You, Han Xiucai, are just so stupid." Li Yongjun said something astonishingly, and a sentence flew out of the air, drawing everyone's attention to him.
Everyone stared at Li Yongjun with burning eyes. Even when Han Donglin was interrupted, he didn't reply, waiting to see what information he had to report. After all, Han Donglin was not the only one to think that ghosts and spirits were causing trouble. Almost everyone in the area said this.
This Jinniu Mountain is not clean. Could it be that Li Yongjun has really seen that object?
Li Yongjun brought out his trump card, and as expected, everyone was moved. He was not busy talking, as if he was waiting for someone to support him and give him a reward. Xue Xiang also felt like a cat was scratching his head at this moment. He didn't believe in any ghosts and spirits from the beginning.
He only guessed that it was some kind of ferocious beast. However, Han Donglin's speculation just now was not necessarily unreasonable, and it actually made him even more curious.
At this moment, Xue Xiang felt unhappy when he saw that Li Yongjun was cheating on him, and glared at him, "Ma Liuer, tell me, are you still waiting to receive the reward? I didn't even eat a bite of food so early in the morning.
I just listened to your nonsense, why are you still not satisfied?"
"How can that be? It's not that I, Old Li, am trying to hide my feelings. I'm just thinking about what to say. Just now, I said that Han Xiucai was being blind. In fact, I don't know what it is." As soon as Li Yongjun finished speaking, Han Donglin was confused.
He stood up and wanted to avenge the attack just now. He thought that Li Yongjun knew what the object was and would admit it after being scolded. Who would have thought that this kid was actually pretending to be a coward with him.
"Han Xiucai, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say." Li Yongjun played with his words, stretched out his hand to pull Han Donglin to sit down, and then spoke: "It was early September of 1963, when the rice was about to ripen.
When it was not ripe, it was very dry that year and there was not a drop of rain for months. As you all know, we had just survived three years of famine at that time. The commune members were extremely sensitive to food and were afraid that if it didn’t rain again, the fields would be dry.
Receive, gain again
We were starving. At that time, the old captain organized people to go to Tianzi Port, which was thirty miles away, to divert water. However, Tianzi Port provided more than one village for us. Most of the farmland in Happy Shop pointed to Tianzi Port. Therefore, everyone
The brigade sent people to watch the night at Tianzi Port, for fear that other brigade would release too much water. That night, it was Mr. Deng and I who were responsible for keeping watch. Speaking of which, if it had not been for Mr. Li that night, our lives would have been lost.
Just explain it."
"That old lunatic Deng Laosi?" The person who answered was Peng Chun, the captain of the third team, a round-faced man in his thirties.
"Who are you calling a lunatic?" Li Yongjun immediately exploded. Just now he said that Fourth Master Deng had saved his life. When he met Peng Chun, he said that Fourth Master Deng was an old lunatic. Can he not be impatient?
"Why are you not a lunatic? Every time you talk about burning mountains in a meeting, this old man will jump out and say that you can't burn them. If you wait another three to five years, the mountains will be alive. Tell me, is this not crazy talk?
"Taking advantage of Li Yongjun's reputation as a soldier, Peng Chun replaced the old madman with an old man.
Li Yongjun was about to argue, but Xue Xiang waved his hand to stop him and told him to get back to his business. Seeing what the brigade leader had said, Li Yongjun did not dare to argue anymore and continued: "That night, Tian Zuo was hot, and Fourth Master Deng and I slept together.
On the field ridge next to Tianzi Port, the insects in the field were making a lot of noise, and the mosquitoes were swarming around. I even lit a bunch of mugwort, but it didn't work. I was bitten all over my body.
Not to mention, there was a buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears, like thunder, and the moon was already hanging on the edge of the Western Mountain. Fourth Master Deng and I were still not asleep. At that time, it was really hot and we were all sticky.
, all covered with sweat. I couldn't stand the heat, so I got up and jumped off Tianzi Harbor to take a bath. Who knew that as soon as I entered the water, Fourth Master Deng jumped down immediately after me.
"I was about to open my mouth to say that you are too hot. But as soon as I opened my mouth, Fourth Master Deng covered my mouth and pointed to the rice fields on the other side. The moonlight was not good that night.
In addition, it was already midnight, and the light was getting darker and darker. But the scene in front of me at that time will never stop me.
I will never forget it. But when I saw a large rice field on the other side, there was a sudden commotion. Suddenly, the rice field was like ripples in the water, and a straight wave suddenly appeared. The large rice fields separated to both sides, and a black line came from the distance.
It shoots towards Tianzi Port where we are at very fast speed."
"At that time, I was so excited that I was about to jump onto the shore and prepare to escape, but I was held down by Mr. Deng. He dragged me to squat slowly and leaned against the shore to steady myself. At this moment, I
I came back to my senses and knew that if I made any noise, with the speed of the black shadow, I would be chased by it in a short time. I squatted quietly on the spot, but my heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of my chest. At this time
, I suddenly discovered that
The mosquitoes that blocked the sky disappeared, and the original chirping of insects and frogs suddenly stopped. It was frighteningly quiet. Suddenly, a strange sound sounded, snoring, snoring, like drinking water, or like a cow snoring.
I was about to look towards the source of the sound when Fourth Master Li pinched me hard. I turned my head halfway and immediately stopped. Then I remembered that the sound could only be caused by the black shadow. My movement was simply
Just looking for excitement."
"Sure enough, I just turned my head, my eyes were still hanging in half of my eye sockets, and I didn't dare to move over to look. The snoring over there stopped immediately. I was sure that the black shadow must have been looking towards me at that time.
Because at that time my hairs were all on fire. This is an instinct I learned as a soldier. Just relying on this feeling, I couldn’t
I don’t know how many times I have escaped from the guns of American soldiers. You will never imagine how hard my heart was beating at that time. One side of my mind was blank, and I didn’t dare to show any heat in my nose. My body was limp and without any strength. If it weren’t for Fourth Master Deng
You were holding me tightly underneath, maybe I would have fallen into the water right then."
"This situation lasted for about a few breaths. When the snoring sounded again, my soul finally came back. The snoring lasted for about three or four minutes. As soon as the sound stopped, I suddenly felt the water surface suddenly swaying.
Ripples, under the duck-egg yolk moonlight, I saw that the ripples were actually about ten meters in size. This, what should this be?"
"The ripples came and dispersed just as quickly. When there was a whooshing sound on the shore where Fourth Master Deng and I were, the water surface froze again. I knew that the object had landed on the shore. How could Fourth Master Li and I dare to immediately
Just go up and hide on the shore honestly.
When mosquitoes were like thunder and frogs were everywhere, Mr. Li and I climbed ashore one step at a time. At dawn, I went to the rice fields on the other side. The rice fields on the other side looked like they had been run over by stone rollers.
Yes, make a road as thick as a bucket."
"Later, I asked Mr. Li what kind of object it was, but Mr. Li told me not to ask, and not to go out and talk nonsense. He just said not to enter Jinniu Mountain and that it would be safe to keep. Later, I never saw the object again.
As for my son’s shadow, more than ten years have passed since 1964, and maybe it has been taken away by God.”
Li Yongjun's story was very long, but no one interrupted him. In fact, everyone was too curious about the true identity of the forbidden object in Jinniu Mountain for twenty years. Even though Li Yongjun did not reveal the appearance of the object after all,
But from Li Yongjun's description just now, everyone truly understood the majestic power of that object that when it appeared, all the beasts were frightened and silent, and when it moved, it was as fast as the wind, stirring the rivers.
"Old Li, do you think that object is the culprit of the disappearance in 1958?" Han Donglin was the first to speak and raised the key question.
After Han Donglin kicked the door, everyone's hearts started to stir: Yes, this object is vicious. How could it be that Zhao Laosan and Guo Dazui in 1958 were killed in its hands. After all, Li Yongjun's talent
As mentioned, when the object appeared and disappeared, the movement was so loud that it was terrifying, so how could it be so silent that not even the thirty or forty people could notice it?
Li Yongjun was about to say something, when suddenly, a shout came from the distance, the voice was deep, as if he was calling "Captain".
, although his body shape is a bit stooped, he is still tall, with an orange-skinned face and he approaches quickly towards the sun.
When he got closer, Xue Xiang saw the old man's attire. He felt happy at first, and then became miserable.
What's going on?
It turned out that the old man's upper body was a tattered sheepskin jacket with countless patches and turned fur, which was nothing. But the word "urea" was clearly written on the crotch of his lower body. The trousers were actually sewn from fertilizer bags.
Cheng. When Xue Xiang saw it suddenly, he felt as if he had seen a PS spoof of later generations, and felt happy. Then, he thought that the members of Guashantun were so poor that they couldn't even put on their pants, and he felt a little happy in his heart.
Xue Xiang stood up, but before he could answer, Li Yongjun revealed the identity of the visitor: "Fourth Master Deng, why are you here?"
The visitor is none other than the supporting actor in Li Yongjun’s story, Deng Siye, the only remaining veteran gunner (hunter) in Kaoshan Village. It has been twenty years since the closure of Kaoshan Village in 1958, and the older generation of gunners have almost been wiped out by time.
The butcher's knife killed them all, and the new generation of gunners had not yet matured, leaving only the still-living Fourth Master Deng.
Fourth Master Deng ignored him, wiped his hands twice on the tattered sheepskin jacket he was wearing, stepped forward and took Xue Xiang's arm, saying: "Captain, this Jinniu Mountain must not be burned. Wait for another five days."
Years, no, three years, if I keep this Jinniu Mountain, it will turn into a golden mountain. Captain, you can’t let the mountain be burned..."
Fourth Master Deng repeatedly said, "You can't burn the mountain," but he couldn't tell the truth. Xue Xiang was puzzled. But Peng Chun and others frowned: This old madman is really crazy enough to come to the captain.
"Fourth Master Deng, come on, come on. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly." Xue Xiang pulled Fourth Master Deng and asked him to sit on the stone roller and talk slowly.
Fourth Master Deng had never received such treatment before, and the person who gave him such treatment was the tough captain who beat people more efficiently than he could beat animals last night. Fourth Master Deng kept saying "dare not" and refused to sit down.
You must know that before liberation, Fourth Master Deng’s family was one of the few landlords in the small mountain village of Kaoshantun. After the catastrophe began, Fourth Master Li suffered a lot. Because Kaoshantun is located in a remote location and lives in the mountains, the mountain residents
Most of them were poor and lower-middle peasants, landowners, rich, rebels, and villains. The so-called black five categories were hard to find everywhere. Therefore, Fourth Master Deng, a small and extremely poor landowner, sadly became the key target of attack.
Every time there was a criticism meeting, he was the main force being attacked. Over the years, this young gunner who had a hot temper at the beginning was completely tortured and became honest. On weekdays, Fourth Master Deng still had to show respect to ordinary members when meeting them, and even more so.
Not to mention the baby captain who is even more arrogant than Cai Gaoli.
ps: I wanted to list the names of all the friends who voted for me and rewarded books, but I found that there were too many and too long. I really want to thank you. With your support, what’s the harm if there is no recommendation on the homepage? I have to thank one of you.
Thank you, that is "Praying Mantis' View of One's Own Life". In order to give me a monthly vote, this book friend ordered 3,000 copies of chapters and made up two monthly votes. Yesterday, he spent a lot of money on this book and spent it until late at night.
Jiang Nan bowed and thanked him and said that nothing else was useful, only code words.
Let’s talk about the things in the book. That thing divided rice like waves and drank water like cows. This was not made up by the author. It was a real thing that my father encountered when he was keeping watch for the brigade at night. Of course, the author added exaggerations.
ingredients, after all, the story needs to be more exciting.
Again, official fighting is the main part, but it will be interspersed with nostalgia and old stories. Everyone, I am afraid that those who come here for the official content will give up. Just look at the introduction and you will know where Xue Xiang will get mixed up, so many battles need to be unfolded slowly, and it is by no means
To put it into perspective, this book is probably a bit long.
Also, no one is asking for votes or recommendation votes. Monthly votes for new books are a top priority. I hope everyone can give them to me. Please, I will work hard to update. Monthly votes are like whips, and Jiangnan is like cattle.
