Chapter 12 Planting Trees
"What I'm doing is not authentic, I'm deceiving people, but what's wrong with taking the money of the rich boss to help the people who are digging in this ravine?" Uncle Huang sighed, lowered his head in frustration and said: " But who knows about my hard work, those people in the village saw that I even built the temple, they thought I had money, and said that the last time I took them to raise sheep and steal a lot of money, saying that I had already made enough money, and they invested with a black conscience, and saw that I had set up Zhao Gongming's temple of the God of Wealth and asked for money, and my coffin was thrown in the temple, how could there be money for them, so they discussed making this money with them, and at first they agreed very well, but later, I finally got a few bosses, and just went through the motions, and they came to say that if I refused to compensate them for their losses, they would expose me… Alas!"
"And that kind of thing?" Zhu Jiujiu was dumbfounded when he heard this, he only felt that the villagers here were really superb, of course, there was really nothing right or wrong in this matter, although it was not a very glorious thing to deceive people, but it was beautiful and others had nothing to say, the so-called poor people must have something to hate, although this Uncle Huang's heart is good, but he is too unincapable of knowing people, how can there be a reason not to fail to cooperate with these people, but Uncle Huang is still standing here, it is a little strange, if he really threw the coffin in the temple, where did he get the money to appease those villagers, so Zhu Jiujiu asked: "What did you do then, did you give the money?"
"I didn't have a big boy, they didn't believe it, they took me to the savings house outside, checked the passbook and then I believed it a little, and later, forced me to write an IOU, alas, I knew it earlier, so I didn't go to this mess of troubled waters, why do I have to suffer!"
When Uncle Huang said this, he was almost like an old tearful look, seeing his uncle so sad, Zhang You's throat trembled, and after all, he didn't say a word, lowered his head and sighed with him.
"Good people are not so easy to be, although the story of the farmer and the snake is just a story, but in this real day, those frozen snakes are everywhere, just like the people in this village. After listening to this story, the first person to speak was Li Bang, but when he said this, his eyes were staring at He Qi, he was very similar to seeing, what He Qi's determination was, although He Qi had already said similar things, but Li Bang always felt that his friend's temperament had changed a little big, and he was originally a jealous and hateful guy, but now he said that he would do some bad things, clean up the people he had protected, and who he was, he had to think about it carefully.
To describe them as serpents is to speak too highly of these foolish people. He Qi patted Uncle Huang, who was sighing with his head down, turned his head and smiled at Li Bang, and said lightly: "The snake finally knows to wait for a time to warm up before doing it, but these people have worked hard and have not gained anything." ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu can run away and the monk can't run the temple!" Uncle Huang raised his head and sighed, shook his head and said: "It's no problem for you to come to live with me for a few days, it's no problem, just give money, now I'm short of money, but this place is not so easy to live in, you guys, look at it!"
"How can it be difficult to live?" Zhang You was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder: "When I came to help last summer, I slept very comfortably, although this hill is a little barren, but it is also very cool, and it is the most comfortable to cool off in summer." ”
"See for yourselves. Uncle Huang sighed, turned around and carried the small oil lamp, and took these people to the only place where the light was lit at the col, and after ten minutes, he finally walked to the so-called Zhao Gongming Temple, looking at this tattered place, Zhu Jiujiu's eyes were about to fall out, and he couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed: "This is the big temple you spent the coffin book to renovate, and it is too decent!"
"It wasn't like this before..." Zhang You embarrassedly glanced at the people who were also stunned, and sighed long, when Zhao Gongming's God of Wealth Temple was built, Zhang You also came to help, although this temple is not big, but the style is there, the red bricks and green tiles are just basic, although the inside is small, but the magnificent place is absolutely magnificent, the two toads at the door are still coated with gold dust, but now it is good, a big temple does not even have half a tile, the toad has long disappeared, the clay statue of the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming has also been smashed only half of his body, the outer gate, the inner pillars, as long as they can be demolished, have been demolished, only an empty shelf is left to support this temple, if it is not too dark at night, I can't tell the old and new of these leftover materials, at first glance, it really looks like a remnant of the monument, needless to say, he also understands who did it.
"If you want to live, you can live, and that's all for me. His uncle Mr. Huang didn't say much, he glanced at his broken belongings expressionlessly, Zhu Jiujiu sighed in his heart, feeling that this old man was also quite pitiful, but Uncle Huang's next sentence made her a little angry, and she only heard Uncle Huang say very seriously: "Anyway, less than a hundred, that's not good." ”
"Are you very short of money?" Zhu Jiujiu's nose was crooked, and he was about to point at Uncle Huang and scold a few words when He Qi smiled and grabbed in front of him, but his words were not angry words, his voice was gentle and kind, and there was no anger at all: "We are friends with Zhang You, and we are also our own people, we can't watch our elders suffer, if we can help, we still have to help a little." ”
"I'm very lacking!" Uncle Huang sighed, pointed to the mountain that couldn't be seen clearly in the dark night, and said: "Daqian Mountain can't stay anymore, all of this is my sin, I have an old bone, one day something happens, and I will bury it, but those villagers below are innocent, I can't pull those hundred and ten people, old and young, to bury me!"
"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Youyou was stunned, and almost stretched out his hand to touch his uncle, whether he slept in this broken temple every day, caught a cold, had a high fever, and began to talk nonsense, this big money mountain he has been so many times before and after, and the appearance has not changed at all, except that there is no big fortune to make, if you are willing to farm honestly, you can mix food and clothing with a pair of hands, and you will not starve to death, that is, in the early years, when the big da leaped forward, everyone had no food to eat and starved to death, and many people starved to death, except for this, he really couldn't think of any disasters in this kind of place that could affect a village of people all at once.
"This mountain is inhabitable. He Qi squinted his eyes and looked around, stomped his feet and stepped on the sand and gravel on the ground, and then said a little truth: " If you guess correctly, this Daqian Mountain can be so cool, and its location is inseparable, in a tuyere, there are winds and winds all year round, it is inevitable that it is cooler than outside in summer, it turns out that when this place is covered by vegetation, this is also an advantage, but you have raised so many sheep, gnawed up the grass and trees here, and turned a mountain into a barren ridge, after the sand and gravel have no fixed foundation, I heard Zhang You say, a while ago there were some mudslides that destroyed a lot of people and fields, this Daqian Village in the place where the mountains and rivers meet, maybe not as little rain as most places in the northwest, the mountains here have long been weathered extremely fragileIt is not strange that the whole village will be swallowed up if there is a heavy rain, I mean, right?"
"That's the truth!" Uncle Huang sighed and said a little dejectedly: " It's all my fault, a few years ago I took everyone to raise sheep, and the raw ones destroyed a side of the water and soil, this big money mountain, is a loophole like a place, everyone's village is built on the hole, the climate in the past year is a little strange, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I'm really worried that one day this loophole lost my temper, and a devastating mudslide ruined everyone, so I thought of a way to do something quickly, what money can I spend on this old bone, and the money I got is not to buy saplings and plant them thinking that I can stabilize this mountain, a hundred yuan, that is, ten seedlings, can do a lot of things!”
"What's the use of you, it's not to send firewood to others!" As soon as Uncle Huang said about this kind of tree, Zhang Deli suddenly understood what he was stepping into, it was clearly a tree pit for planting trees, this discovery made him very angry, and he opened his mouth to sneer: "Besides, with your saplings, can you do things?" But don't forget, a person's power is small, I advise you, move early, those uninformed graces will take revenge on you and care if they live or die?" One day, when the newspaper said that the mudslide broke out and everyone died cleanly, you ran to laugh twice to be serious!"
"Do you have a conscience?" Zhang Deli is talking triumphantly, where will you see the sudden angry look of the old man Huang, an old man Huang who was not paying attention was pounced on with a stick and was stunned, only had time to say a word How do you beat people, he was pulled back several steps by He Qi, at this time he saw clearly, the old man was angry and touched the bricks, if he stood there, nine times out of ten he would be the first time in his life to be flowered, he was angry, evil to the side of the guts, took out the knife in his arms and rushed forward, but was hugged by He Qi and Li Bang, Zhang Deli is short, must not be He Qi and Li Bang, the two opponents of the two big men of one meter and eight meters, What's more, there was a Ma Chengkong next to him who was waiting for Li Bang to speak and give an order, he struggled for a long time, but he was not angry, and after laughing, he said: "Okay, do you have a conscience, let's just wait and see, see how much your conscience is worth!"
