2012

Seeing the twelfth lunar month, the day is getting colder every day, and the cold wind blows like a horn at night.It is imperative to build a kang. After all, in modern society, although Zhuya Village is poor, there are many things. Many people in the village have large stoves and coal pellet stoves. In this way, the firewood harvest is not so much. Some people I just waited until the kang was built before burning the big pot, so as not to waste firewood. The house was connected to the chimney, and the briquette stove was placed in the bedroom, which was costly and not warm.

The mountains behind the village are not small, but the superiors have issued a deadly order that they are not allowed to cut trees for firewood. The villagers are not stupid. Looking at the weather and the year, they also weigh in their hearts that they may have to rely on the mountains to eat in the future. Shanlinzi is helping, and the protection of the back mountain is much stricter-many people from other villages come all the way to chop wood here!

Fortunately, Zhuya Village is really remote, and there is only one village next to it in the mountains behind. It is not worthwhile for outsiders to steal trees. Basically, if they catch one, they will have to be beaten. In this way, not many people dare coming.There are two households in the village whose men are lazy and rascals. They went to the back mountain at night to cut down a few small trees, but the village head led someone to come to the door the next day. The two households were not convinced, and they quarreled and deliberately set the fire on Lin Boning. He and Gu Jing were quoted: "Village chief! Why should we say that we are cheaper than those two foreigners! Uncle Genzi didn't leave much firewood in their yard. As a result, they have firewood every day, and now they have to build firewood." Kangli! Why is it the turn of the people in your own village to be wrong, we still learn from them!"

Lin Boning and his wife, who were serving tea to the masters on the kang, suffered a random disaster. Lin Boning directly asked Gu Jing, who was tall and stern, to argue with others. Life in this village It's no different from an orphanage, bullying the newcomers, bullying the soft ones, but the newcomers can't be so sharp.

Seeing that the one who came was the gangster-like Gu Jing instead of the talkative youngster named Lin, the village head had some confidence in his heart.

After listening to the antecedents, Gu Jing ignored the random quarrel between the two families at all, and said directly to the village chief: "The firewood is the dead branches that the two of us picked up in the back mountain, and the dead trees are all dry. Yes, it can be seen at a glance.” The villagers who went to call them also nodded to prove it, and they all went to the woodshed and the house to see it.

The daughter-in-law of Lai Zi's family refused, and shouted at Gu Jing: "I picked it up in the mountains, who would believe it! But the villagers picked up all the ones outside, and if you go inside, you will find the old forest, where there are wolves and bears." , just the two of you, if you dare to go there, don’t say you can’t hear the wolf howling in the back mountain at night!”

When she said this, the villagers also became suspicious. Unexpectedly, Lin Boning and his little milk dog came here for a stroll. Lin Boning didn't say anything, and went up to take her man in the The sharp edge of the shovel that threatened Gu Jing in his hand was bent forcibly, and he smiled and said to the village chief: "There are a lot of dead trees and branches in the old forest. Trapped on the kang, we can’t get away, village chief, let’s go back first.” But he didn’t say anything to help.

Up to this point, how could the village head not believe it? He waved his hand and told them to go home, and then his expressions on the faces of the two families were not as peaceful as when they first came.

Gu Jing nodded towards the village head, and when she opened the door, she deliberately pinched the big iron door of that family, turned her face and took a deep look at the two rascals who poured dirty water on them, cold and lifeless. The two cowards with bluffing eyes took a step back and asked their daughter-in-law to stand in front of them.

The village head didn't like those two cowardly virtues at first, but after Lin Boning and Gu Jing left, the big guy saw the four clear handprints on the edge of the iron gate, and was shocked for a while, no wonder they Two people dared to drill into the old forest, such a skill, no one would dare!Now everyone in the village has to weigh their attitude towards others. If they want to take over the villagers and bully others, I am afraid that no one's bones are as hard as iron.

The people who made the kangs were originally from the north, and they were used to doing this work in the early years. Lin Boning and the others had few houses, so they could finish it in a day with their help.Gu Jing looked at the wide kang where four or five people could lie on it without crowding, and thought about it, her eyes always slanted towards Lin Boning's waist, legs and buttocks.

Lin Boning rolled his eyes angrily, found a bottle of ordinary white wine, brought it up, and greeted Gu Huangdou: "Let's go, Huangdou, let's go to the neighbor's house." He ignored Gu Jing and opened the door to go out Go, Gu Jing hurriedly followed.

"Are you there?" Lin Boning knocked on the door and shouted.

Fourth Aunt Liu greeted them, and when she saw Gu Huangdou running ahead, she smiled and hurriedly beckoned them in.

Lin Boning handed over the wine: "It's not a good wine to bring some spicy taste to the uncle." Aunt Liu quickly evaded, this wine is a good thing now, not to mention anything else, it will warm you up if you drink it in such a cold day very.How could Lin Boning take it back, the fourth aunt accepted it with some embarrassment.

After entering the courtyard gate, I saw three majestic big dogs rushing out from the east room. They are the native dogs called "Heizi and Huzi" that are commonly raised at home. Generally purebred dogs can't match it.The little milk dog, Gu Huangdou, was very bold. He ran forward, with his head straight, grinning from the three big dogs, and whining threateningly.

The dog was very obedient, and the fourth aunt called him twice before returning to the east room. One of them seemed to be very interested in Gu Huangdou, and when he came up to sniff it, the fourth aunt stomped and chased him away.

Gu Huangdou followed them into the house in a high spirited manner, and Lin Boning finally realized why this old man seldom showed up—a very energetic old man was sitting on a chair, but a trouser leg underneath was half empty!

The aunt and uncle didn’t shy away from the gossip. The old couple pointed to the trouser pipe. This was when they entered the mountain a few years ago. Outside the old forest, they were unlucky to meet a very hungry Xiong Blind and broke his leg. A few dogs, I am afraid that their old lives will be caught. Rao, because the bones were too broken and there was a lot of blood, this leg was not saved.The old man pointed to the outside and said: "This is the second time a dog has saved my life. For this, there were five dogs in my family, and two of the old dogs that gave birth to them were not rescued. There is another one, which hurt its hind leg, and now it cannot walk stably."

... After talking for a while, Lin Boning seemed to casually mention Xiaoshipo.

The old couple looked at each other, and their faces became unhappy, but they obviously got the letter and knew that they would come to ask.

"In the past, although our village was poor and the place was remote, but because of the large amount of land and the good houses we could get, some people rushed to come. It's just that something went wrong in the first round, and you two are the second round." The old man said. Carefully rolled some shredded tobacco in rough paper, lit it, and said with a puff of smoke.

"Eleven came here, all of them were young students. They said they went to school in a big city. There was a disaster at school and they couldn't get in touch with their parents. They were assigned to this place. It looks like they are all white and have never eaten. People in the village understand the suffering, and help if they can." Having said this, the old man took a deep breath and suppressed his angry expression.

"Who would have thought that these educated youngsters would deteriorate like that! The village had already discussed that some food from each household would give these youngsters some strength to help with some work. Everyone helped to survive the winter. Let’s talk about it in the past, I didn’t think that these young people would not want to work at all, and when they knew that the fields and houses in the village could not be sold, they made the idea on the villagers!” The hand holding the cigarette trembled, and he took a deep breath, Fourth Uncle Li Then he said again: "Those bastards want to marry girls in the village and ask the Yue family to take care of them! Not to mention, there are very few girls in the village, and it's rare that several of them who are working outside can't be contacted these days. Seriously, these people want to marry someone, but they want to force their girls to marry!"

After hearing these few sentences, Lin Boning and his wife already knew what happened, but they didn't want Fourth Uncle Li to throw another bombshell: "They tied up a girl, and even arrested her sister-in-law... We When I went there, those beasts were all there, and the little daughter-in-law was violent, and she was killed on the spot after being rescued. The girl couldn't marry such a person even if she died, she ran out in the middle of the night and found it at noon the next day, because she didn't want to live Frozen... Frozen to death. The two abusers we caught were smashed by her family and the villagers. The village head personally took them to the county to surrender. The county investigated for half a month and called the village I decided to do it myself, and the village head decided to send the rest to Xiaoshipo.”

The atmosphere seemed to freeze, after a while, Fourth Aunt Li wiped the corners of her eyes: "There are only three members left in a good family, his mother is crazy..."

……

Back at home, the two of them looked at each other. In fact, this matter did not touch them that much. During the escape in the biochemical world, they had seen even worse, Lin Boning, and their hearts were hardened.However, this incident reminded the two of them. After all, this is not a normal period. Now the previous foundation is still maintained, and the common people are mostly hearsay. Although people have been warned that this low temperature will continue, perhaps many Years, but people always don't cry when they don't see the coffin. The chaos will start when most of the stored food is consumed next spring!
