20. Confrontation
"Secret?"
When Tang Tang heard these two words, he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what the little milk cat was doing. "Hey, what's there to keep secret?"
The little milk cat shook her head, her eyes were shining, and she said, "I can't say it, I promise others!" β
"Who is the other person?"
"Yesβ" Seeing that it was about to be tricked again, the old dog reluctantly gave it another paw. Under the flash of inspiration, the little milk cat hurriedly stopped, rubbed his head with two paws and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle Sha, don't beat me, I won't say it!" β
Tang Tang: "......"
After settling the little milk cat and the old dog, Tang Tang relieved his heart and gently closed the door for them. took advantage of the night to walk to the small courtyard, but suddenly saw two figures at the corner of the village.
"Wangwang, I'm not leaving! It's getting dark, I'm going to sleep! The black dog lay upright on the ground, barking and calling. Xu Changlin stretched out his hand to pick up its body, but its limbs fell down softly, and it couldn't stand still.
Seeing that Xu Changlin was also helpless, Erhei snorted triumphantly, his bright dog eyes were round and big, full of cunning looks. "Hmph, the master's bones haven't been gnawed yet, how can you be willing to go? Drag the old man back to the nest, and rest tomorrow to continue eating! β
Regarding its violent and uncooperative attitude, Xu Changlin was silent for a moment, and suddenly picked up Erhei, supported its two hind legs and carried it on his back, which immediately caused an exclamation from the black dog.
"Scared, what's the matter?"
Xu Changlin strapped its body steadily, and walked steadily towards the outside of the village, and after a while, the figure disappeared in the woods.
"No, no, no, no, a good lord doesn't go out for a walk at night! Ahhhh The screams of "Wangwang" were endless, but Tang Tang laughed when he heard it.
Generally speaking, what kind of people have what kind of dogs. But obviously, the personalities of Xu Changlin and the black dog are two extremes. One is as calm as a mountain, the other is stupid and proud, and it is full of fun when paired together, which makes people laugh.
I just don't know if it's safe enough to enter the mountain so late? After all, the remaining wild dogs had scurried into the woods during the day and were nowhere to be found, but it was certain that they were still hiding on the top of the mountain, licking their wounds and waiting for them to return.
Tang Tang was worried, and when he got up the next day, he heard that a forest ranger team had been set up in the brigade, and many young and strong young people were selected to enter, and even Lu Xiangyang became one of them. Although this team nominally hangs a sign to guard the forest, it is actually for the safety of the villagers.
Niujiatun is backed by mountains, and even though there are large fields separating the village from the mountain forest, the flat terrain is still not reassuring. One day, once the wild dogs gathered in a pack and rushed down the mountain forest, the villagers did not even have a place to buffer and hide.
Therefore, after some consideration, the old captain decided to set up a forest ranger team and organize people to patrol the mountains in turn. This kind of errand is much easier and more interesting than farming, and many young people raise their hands to join in with great interest, and most of the people who work in the fields for a time are old people and women.
The heavy rain in the past few days has completely soaked the wheat harvest, and the brigade has arranged for people to drain the water from the field and dig up the soaked wheat stalks again. No one is willing to throw away the sprouted wheat, and after it is dried, it is good food to satisfy hunger. Corn and soybeans were planted in the fields, and everyone was hoping for a harvest before the winter.
After the farming work in the field was arranged, all the thoughts of the people in the village were now on the forest rangers, and new news emerged one after another every day, which became the hottest topic for the villagers.
"Oops, I heard that the rangers found a bunch of wild dog feces on the East Mountain today, and it's still hot!"
"What? Isn't that a mountain road just a few miles from the village? How is it so close? β
"Isn't that just saying, these wild dogs are really crazy, can't they still want to break into the village?"
"My uncle's son is in the forest ranger, and he said that several earthen guns in the village have been carried on their backs!"
"Well recited! Sooner or later, let them go and never return! β
There were many discussions in the village, and even Pang Yingwu, who was lying on the kang to recuperate from his injuries, was full of energy and clamored for revenge for him, and for a while the people's feelings were boiling and in full swing. But in this passionate atmosphere, only Wang Min had a calm face and an unhappy face.
She neither participated in the chats of the people, nor did she want to go to the door to talk about the shortcomings of the family, but hid in the room in silence to write letters, and half of the book was used up by the lettered paper. Even Sun Shuping was within the scope of her cold eyes, and impatiently used her eyes to drive her away from approaching her.
Suddenly, Sun Shuping, who had always been good friends with her, was also cold.
And for her attitude, Tang Tang has long been commonplace. In her spare time, she also wrote a letter to her family, telling her family that she was okay here, so that her family could rest assured.
Her letter was received by the brigade headquarters along with other people's letters, and then mailed to Tiannan and Haibei. I don't know how long it will take, and waiting for a reply is far away.
However, what is surprising is that the reply has not yet been received, and the field department has sent someone down. The old captain was hurriedly called from the ground, looking unprepared, apparently he had not received the news beforehand.
So what did the forest farm send people to do?
For a time, all the people in the village were aroused with curiosity. Seeing that it was almost noon and it was almost time for lunch, everyone immediately packed up their belongings and rushed back to the village. Even if the family went to the field to deliver food, they didn't have the heart to eat in the field, and went over to watch the excitement together.
The crowd rushed to the door of the old captain's house, and found that the shape inside was extremely grim, and the reprimands of the people could be heard across half the street.
"Niu Hangen, you are an old comrade, how can you make such a big mistake? If there is a situation that does not report to the top, it makes its own decisions and acts arbitrarily! Who gave you the guts? Who gave you the confidence? Is there a little bit of organizational discipline anymore? β
The continuous questioning resounded outside the house, and the crowd was immediately stunned, quietly exchanging glances with each other.
But the man's questioning did not stop. "Look, if it weren't for a comrade who reported it, the field department wouldn't know that you stopped work and sent people up the mountain! A few days ago, you reported that the wheat had suffered a heavy loss, so what kind of yield can you grow with the strength of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days? The field department emphasizes every day that hard work has changed the face, where are you suffering? Where's the war? All your thoughts have flown to the sky, right? β
Through the wide courtyard gate, the villagers saw that the old captain couldn't raise his head when he was said, and honestly squatted under the threshold without saying a word. On the contrary, the people from the field department said with an impassioned face and righteous indignation.
"What do you see? If you don't go to work, you want to rebel? Look at your Niujiatun has no rules at all, it's long time to rectify it! The man wore a pair of glasses, but his gaze of hatred was like a knife in everyone's face.
Suddenly, there was silence outside the courtyard. The people of the village did not shout, did not refute, but stood silently under the sun, staring at him without saying a word.
Honest people also have tempers. So many eyes gathered together, like a silent mountain, wrapped in a cold coercion and pressed down on Cao Li.
He was stunned for a second, and a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on the back of his neck, but his mood became more and more irritable and angry. "You thinkβ"
"Let's eat."
Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the old captain. I saw his cheeks twitch slightly, and said slowly: "Let's go back to lunch, don't miss the afternoon work." β
When the old captain's words landed, the crowd quietly dispersed, and the steps of departure were disordered, but it seemed to contain some kind of order, and it hit Cao Liqiang's heart one by one. His face was gloomy, and his eyes were sharp at this scene, but his heart was particularly dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, Niu Hangen actually became the soil emperor of this Niujiatun, and he had such a high prestige when he said a word, and he threw his face on the ground.
And what he represents is not only himself, but also the field behind him. This problem must be strictly reported and dealt with!
He was thinking in his heart, but his eyes saw a big man walking towards him with a calm face, and he also carried a hoe in his hand. He immediately panicked, "You, what do you want to do?" It's a crime to beat someone, so stop himββ! β
The big man glanced at him coldly, "This is my home." After speaking, he ignored him and walked directly to Niu Hangen, who was squatting, "Dad, let's go in and eat." β
"Oh."
The two of them didn't pay attention to Cao Liqiang, he was about to be angry, and suddenly a young boy rushed in happily, "Master, the forest rangers are back!" Caught a lot of wild dogs, and won a big victory! β
Cao Liqiang got up with a "snap", almost broke his neck, and shouted at the few people who came with him: "Comrades, come with me!" Detain these people! β
The big man turned his head sharply, his eyes shining with a threatening light.
On the other side, Tang Tang was eating in the cafeteria when he heard the sparrows outside the house flapping their wings in a hurry.
"Hurry up, the fight is up, the fight is up, go and see the excitement!"
"Who and whom?"
"Tsk, who else? Maomao, this bear baby and Erheibei! β
"Rub!" Tang Tang stood up suddenly, grabbed the remaining half of the cake, and ran out quickly, and heard the voice of the little milk cat from afar. "Hmph, dare to rob me of my food and kill you!"
"Wow, it's painful to kill the master! Don't, don'tβdon't scratch! β
