"Bang bang", a dull sound of slamming the door pulled Xue Xiang back from his sleep. Last night, he tossed for half a night, and the wind and moon were soft outside the window, and he slept well all night, and he didn't even have a dream.

At this moment, Xue Xiang was woken up, raised his hand to look at his watch, it was only seven o'clock, he got up, opened the door and saw that there were many people crowded at the door, most of them were the superstructures of the backers who were reprimanded by him last night.

"Captain, last night's gang of members, oh no, that gang of village ruffians were frozen. At this time, their faces are all dark and blue, do you want to put them down from the tree first, and then freeze, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of killing people. It was Su Shunmin, an honest accountant who spoke, wearing an earthy yellow ragged cotton coat, saying a word, and snorting and snorting.

Last night, the village ruffians were gathered by Li Yongjun to be a group of stick boys who were eager to compete for performance and be militiamen, stripped naked, leaving only a pair of pants, first hung for an hour, and then put them down and tied them to a tree and froze overnight.

At first, these village ruffians were still stubborn, their bodies were powerless to resist, they were still scolding and scolding, but they were half-hung in the air with their hands tied, and the pain that pulled the tendons and tendons of their arms was simply indescribable.

The village ruffians first scolded, then screamed, and then begged for mercy, and then cried, only to collapse. In the middle of the month, the rest of the members went home early to sleep, no one was willing to say good things for these guys who were idle and hated on weekdays, and the other group of good families had always been the target of bullying and strangulation by these village ruffians, and they were even more busy falling into the well at this time.

However, Xue Xiang estimated that the time was almost up, and he knew that if he hung it again, the two arms of those village ruffians would not be able to exert their strength without a month, which was not what he wanted, so he ordered everyone to put down the village ruffians and still tie them to the trees to freeze.

It's early spring. But the dampness and cold in the mountains are particularly heavy, but fortunately, these village ruffians are all young and strong, and they are used to the climate of the mountain. It's freezing overnight, but it won't really kill anyone.

"Put it down. Beckon the old ginger in the cafeteria to cook a pot of ginger soup and pour it into them. Xue Xiang agreed with Su Shunmin's opinion, these village ruffians will still be the main force in repairing the canal for a while, how can they be tormented so quickly.

Su Shunmin got the order, so he went straight to the northwest corner of the rice field to rescue the "common people".

"What is the important thing that you came to block my door early in the morning?" After sending Su Shunmin away, Xue Xiang opened his mouth to the cadres.

"Captain, aren't you going to organize the members to burn the mountain today? Now that everyone is gathered, we are waiting for your order. Han Donglin, the secretary of the Youth League Committee who spoke, was a long-faced man, seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was one of the few people who had studied in the mountains.

"Burn the mountain! Why do you want to burn the mountain, who gave the order? Xue Xiang was inexplicable, but he had a bad feeling in his heart

"It's a piece under the district, calling on agriculture in the Western Jin Dynasty, asking us to support the mountains and build up responses, and burn this Jinniu Mountain so that the land can be split. Let's make a field. When Xue Xiang asked, everyone was also confused: Yesterday you came down with Director Ma of the commune, but you didn't know the top priority of our backing mountain? It was Li Yongjun who gave Xue Xiang an answer.

Xue Xiang patted his head. I suddenly remembered that when I first arrived at Kuaihuopu Commune that day, the leaders of the District Revolutionary Committee happened to have a meeting in Kuaihuopu to discuss the matter of clearing wasteland and cultivating land.

Li Yongjun finished speaking, Xue Xiang was silent for a long time, and raised his eyes to look at Jinniu Mountain. But seeing the rising sun, the lush mountains and forests are bathed in a faint halo, peaceful and quiet, the birds in the forest are flying, and the warblers are singing and dancing. A gust of mountain wind blows, and what comes to your face is the footsteps of spring and the breath of life.

But the people in front of you. Who has such a poetic sense of his Xue Daguan? In the era when you can't eat enough, talk about protecting the environment, embracing green, art and people. What the hell!

Xue Xiang didn't know how to persuade everyone, at this time, he couldn't speak with his fists, otherwise, he would really become a reckless man. But from later generations, he has experienced the gray sky and the ubiquitous exhaust gas, and he still cherishes and misses this kind of green mountains and green waters. If he wants to personally order the destruction of this mountain of greenery, no matter what, he can't open his mouth.

"If you burn this mountain, how many fields can be carved out?" Xue Xiang did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Let's say less, you have to have six or seven thousand acres, captain, you should know that we have a small number of people in Shantun, 1,400 strong laborers, and less than two acres of land per capita, plus most of them are dry fields and bad land, and the yield is frighteningly low, so we have to work hard for a year, and we have to owe the commune public grain." It was Han Donglin who answered.

Xue Xiang looked at Han Donglin, who was dressed in clothes, and continued: "How much labor does it take to burn this mountain to white ground?" ”

"Captain, our tun'er is not bad for labor, just for the ground! You don't know, in previous years, when other brigades were still busy with work, we were idle for a long time. Take the moment as an example, it is Xianyue, and our tun has been locked up by Erdaopo again, and we can't go into the city to engage in side jobs like other brigades, and it's not a way for everyone to be so idle. "This time it was Zhong Yuan, the leader of a small team, a stick guy in his twenties.

After listening to Han Donglin and Zhong Yuan's words, Xue Xiang suddenly fell silent. He originally thought that everyone lived by the mountain and should have feelings for this mountain, but he never expected that everyone's desire to burn the mountain and make fields was so strong.

"This Jinniu Mountain is more than ten miles longitudinal and horizontal, doesn't it produce things, the mountain goods and medicinal materials in the mountains are sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives, and it is also a lot of income, it should not be worse than the harvest in the field, why do you have to burn the mountain?" After being silent for a long time, Xue Xiang asked this question that had been held in his heart for a long time.

Initially, Xue Xiang heard that the backer was in Hema Shankui. Ma Shankui seems to have something unspeakable, Xue Xiangying only heard the two evils of "Cai Jiahu" and "Lock the Sky", and the last harm is only related to Jinniu Mountain.

On the afternoon of the day he came to the backer, after seeing off Ma Shankui, he walked around the tun and took a turn. Especially the Jinniu Mountain behind the members' houses, he walked along the foot of the mountain. But seeing the bushes at the foot of the mountain, the grass is abundant, dense and turned, and it does not grow through a single gap, and it is obvious that no one has set foot on it for many years.

If that's the case in one or two places, that's it. He walked through these four more households, and the foot of Jinniu Mountain also turned around for most of the time, but it was everywhere, and it seemed that the members had not set foot in Jinniu Mountain for many years.

Xue Xiang was going to ask the good old man Su Shunmin behind his back, but he didn't know that before he could find the opportunity, the cadres of the backing mountain tun actually asked to burn the mountain. At that moment, he didn't hide his sex, so he asked directly.

Xue Xiang's words fell, and everyone took their breath together, and for a moment, the scene was eerily silent. Earlier, everyone was agitated and complaining, and they all thought of words, ready to persuade this captain who was strong in force and did not seem to have a good intelligence. Who knew that Xue Xiang had actually moved out the taboo of backing the mountain for nearly 20 years, where could everyone answer half a word.

Xue Xiang saw that everyone was solemn, and knew that there must be a hidden secret, and encouraged: "It's okay, who knows, just talk about it." We GCD members are not afraid of things by nature, if there is a problem, let's solve the problem, even if it is bizarre, it doesn't matter, seek truth from facts, we will never engage in the set of sinners because of words. ”

After saying that, Xue Xiang swept his eyes one by one, intending to encourage. Who knows, before he finished sweeping the circle, two people opened their mouths at the same time.

"Captain, others don't say it, I said, Lao Huo is out...."

"Captain, things are not so evil, I believe it is a false rumor...."

The former spoke by Deputy Brigade Captain Li Yongjun, and the latter was Han Donglin, Secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Brigade. The speed of the two of them was very fast, and when they opened their mouths, they burst out a long list, and when they reacted, someone grabbed the conversation with them, and they all stopped.

Xue Xiang looked at the two of them with a smile, and at this time, the sun in the sky happened to move over, and the golden halo happened to hit his face, smiling slightly, brilliantly.

At this time, Xue Xiang couldn't see anywhere

Li Yongjun and Han Donglin's closeness. If the two of them were deliberately estranged, they would not take the initiative to confide in the secret that Ma Shankui was so reluctant to say, I am afraid that he would have been like the other deputy captain Tie Yong, and he would simply not show up in front of him.

Xue Xiang guessed correctly, Li Yongjun and Han Donglin were intending to cast peaches. As for saying that the two of them want to be completely close to him Xue someone, that's not enough, it depends on his Xue someone's ability, the first deputy captain Cai Gaoli has accumulated power for many years, and he is not a vegetarian.

It turned out that there were only five members of the management committee of the Gushantun Production Brigade, and the old branch secretary and captain died two years ago, and there were only four left, namely Cai Gaoli, deputy secretary of the village branch and first deputy captain, Tie Yong, deputy captain, Li Yongjun, deputy captain, and Han Donglin, secretary of the village Youth League Committee.

When the old captain was still alive, there were already faint signs that he couldn't suppress Cai Gaoli. After the death of the old captain, Gushantun completely became the world of the Cai family. Cai Gaoli has his cousin Cai Gaozhi and his brother-in-law Guo Minjia as courage, and Cai Guoqing has a son Cai Guoqing entangled a group of village ruffians and social tyrants.

After Cai Gaoli won his will, the remaining squad members, Tie Yong, threw themselves at him from the old captain as soon as possible; Li Yongjun is a straightforward person, he doesn't look down on him as a person, and he knows that what the deputy captain says doesn't count, so he just doesn't care about it; As for Han Donglin, he also wanted to vote for him, but Cai Gaoli didn't look down on him at all, Tie Yong was a member of the squad in charge of the work of the brigade, and he was the secretary of the Youth League Committee who was purely occupying a place, so what good did he want?

It is said that one of the remaining class members was subdued by Cai Gaoli, and the other two were organized into a soy sauce party by him. Cai Gaoli should be all right, how do you know that things are so evil. The old captain has been dead for more than two years, but the club has not mentioned him as the captain for a long time.
