fire rescue

Zheng Yi didn't care that Kang Jiabei was still nagging, and didn't give an explanation, so he quickly hung up Kang Jiabei's phone. He didn't dare to delay a second, and immediately called to organize people to rush towards Luoshan Village. He called the town leader again, and before he arrived at the village, Hejia Village’s head, He Jun, called. There was a hint of anger and some anxiety in his voice, “Xiao Zheng, our back mountain is on fire again. .”

Zheng Yi said: "I saw it, and I'll be there right away. He Lao Si is really... Director He, if your dispute is not properly resolved, I will report to the Forest Police Station and arrest him."

He Jun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Big Station Master, don't stop, let's put out the fire first, then you talk about this barbarian, you arrest him, he can order the whole Hejia Village when he comes back."

Zheng Yi sighed and said, "You know the root of the problem best in your own mind. Our firefighting team will be here in a while. You have arranged all the logistics. Don't think about anything else. Let's talk about it when the fire is out."

"Good good."

Zheng Yi hung up the phone here, and he arrived at the foot of the back mountain of Hejia Village. He stopped the car, and there was thick smoke rising from the mountain, but he didn't see a single person. That's right, this person has rich experience in setting fires, and he caught fire I ran away quickly, and everyone knew who did it like a mirror in their hearts, but they never caught it once.

The firefighting team arrived shortly afterwards, the car stopped, the team members got out of the car, carried fire extinguishers on their backs and followed the guide, and hurried up the mountain. Zheng Yi instructed them to put out the fire in groups through the walkie-talkie, and saw the three of them facing the fire point to form a siege , Aimed at the flames and blew violently, thick smoke rolled up with dust, and was immediately blown away by the wind of the fire extinguisher.

This morning, there was still a strong north wind, but the wind stopped in the afternoon, which provided great convenience for fire fighting.Moreover, people would light a fire on this mountain every Qingming Festival. The black locust trees that had grown halfway up the mountain were almost burned out in the past few years, and the new ones were not good enough. Most of the ground covers were dry shrubs and wormwood. When several team members went up the mountain, the buzzing fire extinguishers were turned on, and they were all extinguished in less than an hour.This kind of small fire is not very climate-friendly, and it is very easy for the team members to extinguish it.

Then, Zheng Yi asked people to carry a sprayer on their backs, sprayed some water on the places that were still smoking, and ordered Wu Ping and Ding Mingshuang to guard the fire, and he went down the mountain first with the walkie-talkie, patting the dirt all over his body while walking. , He Jun was rubbing his hands and turning around at the bottom of the mountain, like a donkey pulling a mill, and ignored Li Dawei who came to see the scene. walked over.

He Jun seemed relieved to see him, and immediately put on a sad expression, "Station Master Zheng, look at what happened today..."

Zheng Yi said: "Once a year, what else can I say, I said I want the police to arrest people, if you don't agree, I can't help it."

He Jun raised the mobile phone in his hand and said, "Mayor Qin told me to go back to town with you in a while."

"Then go."

"But……"

Zheng Yi hit the nail on the head: "But I'm afraid that the leader will turn over the old account and say that you forcibly occupied He Laosi's hilltop to set up the ancestral grave, and He Laosi would set fire to your ancestral grave every year." Seeing He Jun's wry smile, Zheng Yi said: "This is a matter of communication between you and the main leaders of the town. Mayor Li and I can't control it, but don't delay it for a long time without solving it. A small fire of this scale is a small matter, and it ended up as a petition case. Or catch a big fire, which makes it difficult for the leaders to end."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yi lit a cigarette and smoked. He frowned and looked at the busy figures on the mountain, and found a clean place to squat down.

"Station Master, it's almost there." Wu Ping's voice came from the intercom.

"Come down, I'll ask Director He to send someone to watch."

"Got it."

After the people came down, Zheng Yi counted the people, counted the machines, and returned to the town with a dejected He Jun.

Qin Changye sat in the office waiting for the two of them. When he saw Zheng Yi who was covered in dirt, he said, "Xiao Zheng, go and change. I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with Director He, and you'll come up later."

Zheng Yi went back to the office and used a broom to simply sweep the dirt off his body. Zhang Xiao came over and asked him, "Brother Zheng, is it on fire?"

"Ah."

"where?"

"The back mountain of Hejia Village."

"Why is it there again?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help asking

"He Lao Si has a grudge against their Secretary He, and he intends to retaliate."

Zhang Xiao has been in the town for almost three years, not as old as Zheng Yi, and she doesn't know much about many allusions, she is ignorant and very curious.

Zheng Yi cleaned up the dirt on his body, smoked a cigarette and said to Zhang Xiao: "The back mountain of Hejia Village was originally contracted by He Qingguo, He Laosi's father. He Jun and He Laosi's family were related. He Jun, the village director of Jia Village, got too old and couldn't work anymore. He Jun was very superstitious, and he didn't know where to find a god to show him his life. , can bless his official career.”

Hearing the word career, Zhang Xiao couldn't help laughing, "What kind of career does a village chief talk about, the youngest official."

Zheng Yi hung up the broom and said, "I've been told that I'm a village leader."

"Hahaha...what the hell."

Zheng Yi continued: "Forget it, he went to He Laosi, and discussed with him that he wanted to set aside a piece of land for him to move his ancestral grave. He Laosi said nothing, why should I give you my mountain?" The family built ancestral graves, even if they have relatives. He Jun asked some villager representatives to have a meeting, ah, although it was said to be a meeting here, but the insider said it was a forged meeting record of the village representative meeting, and then during the forest reform, he He forcibly changed He Qingguo's mountain into his own name, and repaired his family's ancestral tomb regardless of other people's obstruction."

"Is it really repaired?"

"Yes, and the scale is not small, and you can see it from the foot of the mountain. But the town leaders are responsible for this matter, because if the town leaders hadn't favored He Jun back then, this matter would not have reached the present situation. Mainly It’s because there is a mine in Hejia Village, and our town’s finances and taxes have to rely on the owner of the mine. There are some twists and turns, and only the person concerned knows about it, but the town does have a lot to deal with this issue. Unfair. He Lao Si, who has nowhere to sue, may have petitioned, but it was useless, so he thought of a bad move. He set fire to the mountain as soon as Qingming came, saying that sooner or later he would give He Jun’s family’s ancestral grave to him. Burn out."

After Zhang Xiao listened, she stopped talking, probably she didn't know what to say.This is similar to Zheng Yi's behavior after hearing the old station master Du Chunhai tell him the story.

"To be honest, I also find it quite annoying. It is played every year and is very punctual. It has been going on for almost ten years."

"In this case, why don't you find someone to watch him?"

"I can see it for a while, but I can't see it forever. One year, I really asked someone to watch him, but he ran out in the middle of the night and set the fire. It was two o'clock in the morning. I was sleeping soundly, and then I heard the chaos below. Immediately afterwards, the door slammed so loudly that I was woken up. In the middle of the night, the fire burned half the sky. At that time, none of the government officials in our town stopped. The next day it was swollen like a steamed bun."

"He's really cheating."

"I can't help it. The town suppresses people from being arrested. It's because they are afraid that things will get worse." Zheng Yi was talking, the office phone rang, Zheng Yi picked it up, and mayor Qin asked him to go upstairs.

After he knocked on the door, He Jun sat down opposite Qin Changye with his head drooping, without any "village-level" majestic posture. Li Dawei was also there. Seeing Zheng Yi coming in, Li Dawei said to him: " Let's go to He Laosi's house in a while."

"Ah."

So a group of four, led by Qin Changye, followed by He Jun, was driven by Zheng Yi and went to Hejia Village.

The fourth family of Mr. He lives in the village of Hejia Village. There is a large yard. The vegetable field in the yard is covered with plastic film, which is full of water vapor. There are more than a dozen chickens in the yard, which are clucking and eating. The big Beijing flat of the house has a roof made of color steel plates, and the windows have been replaced with plastic steel ones, making it look clean and tidy.He Laosi was feeding the chickens in the yard, and when he saw them coming in, he said angrily, "Hey, yo, why are all these big leaders here free?"

Qin Changye said: "Why don't you come and see you, brother, why, how about feeding the chicken?"

"Yes." He said: "We are not officials, so why not do it ourselves! Or we will starve."

Some people are willing to say some sour words, which are particularly harsh, as if only in this way can they vent their dissatisfaction.In the early years, Zheng Yi liked to argue a few words, but now it has been a long time, and he has become numb, not to mention that he is now following the leader, and the leader has nothing to say, so what can he say.

He Laosi let the group of people into the house, put down the clothes on his body, picked up a box of shredded tobacco, and rolled a dry cigarette for himself to smoke.Qin Changye also grabbed the shredded tobacco and put it under his nose to smell it, saying, "It's very fragrant."

"That's right, my son bought it for me from Yunnan. This shredded tobacco is so good, the leader should try it?"

Qin Changye shook his head and said, "I can't get it."

Qin Changye sat down on the edge of the Kang, and he asked Li Dawei and Zheng Yi to sit down, but he left He Jun alone.

The kang was quite hot, and when touched by hands, the warm temperature made the whole person feel comfortable.Zheng Yi likes the hot kang very much, but he couldn't sleep, he got angry when he fell asleep, his mouth was dry all night, and his forehead was still cold from the cold.

Qin Changye exchanged a few words and explained the purpose of today's visit: "Brother, what do you think about today's fire?"

Fourth He smoked a cigarette and said, "I can have any ideas. If the leader says I let him go, I don't object. We old farmers, you officials say whatever you want."

"So, according to what our Station Master Zheng wants to send you to the Forest Police Station, are you willing?"

"Heh, Mayor Qin, don't think I'm a farmer, I don't understand, you send me to the police station, don't you have to give evidence? Can you say that I started the fire?"

Qin Changye said: "We all know things well, so don't talk about useless things. We came here today to give you and Director He the matter."
