Chapter 62: A Lost Voice
There is no one in the brigade headquarters, quietly, this is a phenomenon that has never been seen before! In the brigade headquarters, no matter what time it is, it is the old secretary who is the first to appear. A big broom, "Boom, boom, boom", this is a thunderous sound, this is the sound of opening the dawn, this sound is the watershed of day.
"The old secretary is early!" Whenever a passing villager sees the old secretary cleaning the courtyard, he will always say hello.
"Get up." When the old secretary hears the greeting, he will always reply politely.
But today is the first time that there is no such voice, and no one has seen this familiar figure!
The current brigade headquarters is no longer visible, but I vaguely remember the huge round gate. I haven't verified the origin of this compound, but his magnificence, the big nails inlaid on the two gates are still imprinted in my mind, dense, and I haven't counted how many nails there are. But its majesty is enough to make people feel infinite awe of it!
People don't walk without heads, and birds don't fly without heads. No one in the brigade headquarters today saw the figure of the old secretary, and no one heard the sound of the two gates "squeaking" and the sound of "squeaking, swishing, swishing" sweeping the floor.
This is the voice of a village, this is the voice of the soul of a village! He marked all the sounds of life here, and without its voice, no matter how many voices there were, they would have become dead and silent at that moment!
From dawn to dawn, the villagers are gradually gathering here.
one, two, three or five; One group, two groups, full streets!
It was crowded with people, one voice, two voices, from whispering to boiling, lighting up the whole day!
Just when the villagers were boiling and talking, suddenly people heard the sound of a jeep, which was followed by a sudden brake "squeak", and a person got out of the car.
Who?
Secretary Huo.
"Old Huo, you're here! What do you think is going to do with that? Our old secretary is gone, you hurry up and think of a way! ”
"Secretary Huo, we've searched everywhere, but we can't see the figure of the old secretary, you hurry up!"
"Secretary Huo, please, we can't live without the old secretary! We are all inseparable from the old secretary! What would we do without him? ”
The whole village is here, men, women and children are mixed in heads, and the whole street is tightly blocked! They are all waiting here for someone, their most trusted backbone! When they saw Secretary Huo coming one by one, they were all scrambling to tell Secretary Huo their hearts!
"Folks, folks! Don't worry, I'm here for this matter, our old secretary will definitely come back, please rest assured, I will definitely get our old secretary back! Secretary Huo didn't dare to slack off, he waved his hand to everyone in his unique posture, and said to everyone in a loud voice.
"Have you ever been to the old secretary's house?" Secretary Huo asked.
"Secretary Huo, let's go, the door is wide open at home, and there is no old secretary at home!" The villagers said.
"Oh, did you look for it outside the village?" Secretary Huo asked again.
"Secretary Huo, we've all looked for it, as long as we have found all the places we want to think of, we just can't find it!" The villagers said.
"Hmm. Folks, do you know why the old secretary can't see it? At this time, Secretary Huo knew in his heart, he knew why the old secretary was gone, and his eyes were already moving when he saw the figure of so many people eagerly awaiting!
Secretary Huo's question is pointed, his words brought everyone to the old secretary who was tied up by Wuhua yesterday, and his words brought everyone to the scene where everyone criticized the old secretary! Everyone bowed down in shame, and no one said a word!
"Folks, the old secretary is uncomfortable, this incident has hit the old secretary very hard, I guess everyone knows this, right? Since everyone can't do without the old secretary, then we have to treat our old secretary well in the future! Secretary Huo said to the villagers.
"Secretary Huo, we know that we are wrong, we will treat the old secretary well in the future! We found out early in the morning that the old secretary was gone, so we searched everywhere, but we couldn't find anything. We know that the old secretary is in a panic, and I am afraid that something will happen to him, we are worried! This is said by an old man.
"Yes, I haven't gone to work yet, but the staff on duty received a call from your village doctor, saying that the old secretary was missing, and they went to my house to report the news to me, so I came in a hurry! But please rest assured, I have worked with the old secretary for so many years, I know him very well, his heart is very strong, I believe that the old secretary will never be fine, he just feels uncomfortable! Let's think about it carefully, in the arduous era, no matter how difficult the environment, no matter how big the difficulties, the more difficult and dangerous, the stronger the old secretary is, and he has never been afraid! But now his fellow villagers don't understand him, and give him a problem, you are his fellow villagers, you treat him like this, do you think he can feel good in his heart? Secretary Huo said.
"Yes, Secretary Huo, we all know it's wrong! It's us who are sorry for the old secretary! Everyone was talking nonsense.
"Secretary Huo, Secretary Huo, I saw a lot of crumpled waste paper in the old secretary's office, and there was a pile of paper and pens on the table." At this time, the doctor ran out of the team headquarters, she hurriedly said to Secretary Huo while running, and handed a large pile of crumpled paper to Secretary Huo's hands. Secretary Huo's arrival was also a phone call from the doctor to the duty room of his commune.
Secretary Huo took it and opened it one by one, only to see the discarded crumpled paper with the words: Fellow villagers, dear fathers and fellow villagers! ……
Every time Secretary Huo opened one, these words were written on it, and he couldn't find any other words.
Secretary Huo understood, he saw that this was the old secretary writing a farewell book! Farewell book! But he couldn't make up his mind, he was hesitating, and he was also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle while writing this farewell letter! He is writing one by one, and he is also kneading one by one! He very much wanted to write down his heart and tell everyone, but when he finished writing these two sentences, he couldn't bear to write them down! Secretary Huo saw an old secretary with a very complicated mood from these paper balls, and he saw an old secretary who was full of very contradictions in his heart, that kind of feeling, when anyone sees these paper balls, they will instantly understand what kind of mood a person was in at that time!
"Folks, folks! Don't worry, the old secretary is fine, the old secretary will be fine, please rest assured! Secretary Huo said.
"Folks, folks!" At this moment, everyone heard another voice, and everyone hurriedly looked for a look, and it turned out to be Lao Yutou. I saw that Lao Yutou was escorting a person, this person was tied up with five flowers, and his whole body was tied by ropes!
Who is this man? Needless to say, everyone understands that his son Yu Jianjian!
"Folks, folks! Our old secretary is gone, it's all a good thing done by my uncompetitive son! I've kidnapped him now, first, to plead guilty to my fathers and fellow villagers. Second, come and ask our old secretary for guilt. Rest assured, as long as the old secretary doesn't come back for a day, this evil obstacle will be blamed on the old secretary! And me, I will also accompany this evil obstacle to apologize for everyone until the old secretary comes back! Old Yu said!
"Well done, old Yutou! Construction, let me ask you, does the disappearance of the old secretary have anything to do with you? Secretary Huo asked.
Yu Jianshe buried his head heavily in his chest! "You know what's wrong?! It's good to know it's wrong! After Secretary Huo finished speaking, he turned to everyone and said, "Folks, fathers and fellow villagers!" In fact, there is a mistake in construction, and all of us are at fault, and the disappearance of the old secretary is not the fault of one person, we are all responsible, and everyone says it's right? ”
"That's right! We're all at fault! "There was a positive response from the crowd!
Everyone had a look of shame on their faces, and everyone bowed their heads and was silent!
"What's going on? Yes? What are you doing here? Yes? Is something wrong? Yes? At this moment, another voice appeared, a voice that everyone was very familiar with!
Everyone's eyes are looking for prestige together!
