Chapter 74: The Village Chief's Last Entrustment
The creek under the night is like a beautiful woman in a thin veil, the appearance is dark and cold, the heart is hot and murmuring, the elder brother is holding the plump Liu Lemei, along the stream, chatting while walking, laughing for a while so that the fish jump out of the stream, and the spirit is full of beautiful splashes, like the white roses, noble and cold; The two hugged each other, and they said goodbye, and each returned to their nest and began to spread baked cakes.
Early the next morning, my brother happily followed the village chief to the village water diversion site with several male intellectuals, carrying explosives and detonators, steel drills and hammers.
The village where the educated youth point is located is at the foot of Meifeng Mountain, because of the barrier of a small stone mountain, Meifeng Creek is bypassed, so that the whole village guards a Meifeng Creek, but endures the suffering of no water, not only the production water can only rely on the sky, but also the domestic water has to detour to the Xiaoshishan more than ten roads to Meifeng Creek to pick. The villagers have always wanted to bring the water of Meifeng River to the village, but because of the barrier of Xiaoshi Mountain, the dream of generation after generation has finally become a dream of Nanke, and the villagers can only look at the river and sigh.
The village chief once told his brother about his idea of bringing water into the village, and the elder brother remembered it in his heart, and he quietly took a few male intellectuals over the mountains and mountains, climbed mountains and waded through water, looking for water sources that could be diverted in the surrounding areas of the village, but after a few days of investigation, they found that there was no other water source to divert except for bringing water from Meifeng River into the village.
After returning to the village, the elder brother made a detailed report to the village chief about his thoughts, and the two talked all night, and decided to dig a water diversion tunnel under the small stone mountain to bring the water of Meifeng River to the village, which was a bold and genius idea, and the village chief pondered for nothing.
Ideas are beautiful, reality is the backbone. At that time, not only large machinery was used to excavate, but even manual excavation lacked explosives and detonators.
The village chief took a sip of the hookah, raised his eyebrows, sighed and said, "These explosives and detonators are not only scarce materials, but also materials controlled by the government, and it is even more difficult to get them than to climb to the sky." ”
My brother is a vigorous and resolute person, and he said confidently, village chief, if the county can't get it, we will go to the provincial capital to get it, even if it is to catch the moon in nine days and catch turtles in the five oceans, we will also get the explosives and detonators back.
The elder brother's determination deeply touched the village chief, and he was thinking, if a foreigner is still so persistent, how can he, as the village chief of his own village, retreat and retreat in the face of difficulties?
Hard-working people, the sky does not pay. The elder brother and the village chief spent a week in the provincial capital, looking for connections, asking acquaintances, writing applications, and sending reports, and finally got back all the materials needed to dig the diversion tunnel.
The rooster reported the dawn, the morning light was slightly dewed, and a team of educated youths led by my brother and a team of villagers led by the village chief met at the entrance of the village, and went straight to Xiaoshi Mountain without stopping.
Strive to go upstream, and build socialism in many good provinces. After more than half a year of excavation, the Xiaoshishan Water Diversion Tunnel has entered the most critical moment of penetration, in order to strive to achieve the tunnel before the Chinese New Year, the two teams of people get up early and work greedily in the dark.
It stands to reason that today is the day for my brother and the educated youths to rest, and when the village chief saw his brother, his eyes were sharp, and his face was full of annoyance, and he said, "Didn't you arrange for you to rest today?" Why are you here again? You have been working for a month, and if you continue like this, your body will be unbearable, so be obedient and let me go back to sleep.
The elder brother shook his shoulders, exposed the muscles on his chest, looked firm, and said with a smile, Village Chief, do you think we are muddy mud people, we will be tired and lie down after doing such a little work, don't worry, we are all in good spirits.
"You, you're really a flute and blue, there's nothing you can do about it, so let's go together. The village chief patted his brother on the shoulder, looked at him gently, and said with a grin.
"Village chief, you are so old, and you have been doing it, if you want to say Leng, you are the real Lengtou Lao. The elder brother handed the village chief a paper cigarette and joked to the village chief, and the two talked as they walked, giggling and laughing, as close as father and son.
"Our grandfather is really a virtuous person, and they are both flutes. "The village chief has always been very close to young students like his brother, just like a year-old friend, and said with a smile.
After arriving at the construction site of the Xiaoshishan Water Diversion Tunnel, everyone took hammers, steel drills, explosives, and carried a basket, and the fish penetrated in, hitting stone cannons and picking stones, and they were in full swing and sweating like rain. According to the custom, every day at lunch and before the end of the afternoon, a stone cannon should be fired.
Before noon, my brother and a few people planted the explosives, and after installing the detonators, they were ready to set fire to the guns. After being busy for about half an hour, my brother's body was drenched in sweat, and his face was covered with white stone foam, and he panted and said, "Village Chief, take everyone out to hide from the cannon, I'm about to light the cannon." ”
"You're too tired these days, the job of lighting the cannon is mine, you take everyone out to hide from the cannon first, and have a good rest. The village chief snatched the fire in his brother's hand with lightning speed, and pushed him away, his eyes were like knives!
"Village chief, I'm really fine, I'd better do this job, besides, you're old, you definitely won't be able to run fast. My brother was not afraid that the village chief would be unhappy, so he said with a bare face.
"Don't talk nonsense, you go quickly, I can't let you have the slightest mistake, if our village wants to open this tunnel, I can't do it without me, I can't do it without you." The village chief puffed out blood-red eyes, his face was blue, and he stomped his foot, which could not be said.
Seeing that the village chief stubbornly took the tinder to light the fuse, his brother was forced to be helpless, so he had to withdraw quickly with everyone.
A few minutes later, an earth-shattering explosion sounded in the cave, like a landslide cracking, and everyone's hearts tightened.
The elder brother was carefully distinguishing the sound outside, he felt that the sound was wrong, and it was suspected that there was a cannon that did not think about it, and became a squib, and he immediately shouted to the village chief who was hiding in the tunnel to prevent the artillery in the lane, village chief, you must not move when you hide in the alley, there is a squib.
"Yes, I heard it too, it seems that there is a squib, I have to go and see it," the village chief stretched his skull out of the anti-artillery alley, stared at his throat and shouted loudly, "I'll go to the squib first, you stay outside well, don't move anyone, whoever moves, I'll be in a hurry." ”
"No, village chief, this is too dangerous, wait for me to go to the artillery platoon, I have more experience than you, don't move first." The elder brother was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he shouted anxiously outside.
"I eat more salt than you kid eats, I've seen a lot of this kind of squib, I'll go see it now, you must not come in," the village chief was bold, and did not listen to persuasion at all, and said stubbornly, "Besides, it is most appropriate for me to do this kind of danger, you are still young, you haven't found the cousin yet, and you haven't tasted the femininity? ”
"Village chief, I'm in, don't move, okay?" The elder brother was as anxious as a toad in boiling water, he couldn't care so much, and was about to go to the cave, "I really have more experience than you in doing this kind of thing, trust me." ”
"Good boy, I know you can, but this is our village business, how can we let you go on an adventure, you keep me outside, don't come in, it's dangerous inside," the village chief shouted hysterically, followed by a dark shadow jumping towards the stone cannon side, "Boy, I have a reluctant request, in case something happens to me, I will entrust my daughter to you, you must take care of her for the rest of your life." ”
"Okay, I promise you, but you have to come out, it's really dangerous inside!"
The village chief didn't come out, only a red flame came with a heart-rending sound, and a huge wave of qi bounced back the body of his brother who was about to flash into the hole.
