The quaint and desolate neem tree stood quietly, and the bronze bell under the tree hung there lonely and speechless, and occasionally a touch of sunset passed over it, making it glow with a burst of light, but few people paid attention to its existence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info And at this time there was a person who was looking at it with all his attention.

A small square protrudes from the bottom of the bronze bell, which is specially paved with earth in the village, and when there is a need to ring the bell to gather, it becomes a podium.

Birds were squeaking in the trees, and a flock of children were making fun of the large flat ground in front of the trees.

After the last ideological struggle, Zhou Yafang silently dragged her weak body, holding a small hammer in her hand, and walked towards the bronze bell under the neem tree.

Since yesterday she promised Huang Xiaoniu to let his father Huang Daniu continue to be the head of Meixi Village, she has been cheering for herself, since she promised her child, she must go forward and do what she decides, even if it is very shameful and unspeakable.

Zhou Yafang had already walked under the bronze bell and raised the hammer in his hand.

"Bell, bell, bell...... Bells and bells ......" burst into the sky, resounding throughout Meixi Village.

The children stopped fighting.

Twenty minutes later, all the men and women of the village who could come out gathered in the open space in front of the bronze bell under the neem tree.

Everyone's eyes widened, because they unexpectedly saw that the person standing on the podium who rang the bell was not a cadre from the village, but Zhou Yafang, who was so scolded by everyone that he didn't dare to go out during this time.

The bell stopped, and the silence around was only the rustle of the leaves of the wind, and everyone stood like puppets, some with contemptuous eyes, some insulting in their hearts, and more puzzled, what did this shameless woman dare to ring the bell to summon everyone in front of her? Everyone is speculating.

Although Zhou Yafang had tears in her eyes, she was not sad in her heart, because she was happy that she was about to make a move to the whole village when she was so brave to stand here.

Zhou Yafang wiped the tears on her face with her cuffs, then raised her face and said loudly: "Today, I took the opportunity of having dinner and everyone was at home to ring the bell to summon everyone here, there is something important to explain to everyone." ”

Zhou Yafang paused suddenly, because she saw Hua Qiangqiang and Huang Daniu also coming from the village committee office.

In the crowd, you look at me, I look at you, but they are still silent.

Zhou Yafang continued: "A woman who is pregnant without her husband is a shameful and lowly woman, she has no face to face everyone, and she is not qualified to stand here and speak loudly to everyone. Village Chief Niu, who has been working day and night to help us left-behind women solve problems, and now they are working hard for the construction and development of Meixi Village, how can everyone bear to put pressure on him? It is said that we people in Meixi Village are simple and kind, don't you feel ashamed to do this? Of course, I know that you must have listened to the nonsense of a small group of fanners, and now I'm going to let you hear it clearly...... My Zhou Yafang's pregnancy has nothing to do with Huang Da Niu, and the village chief Niu is innocent! ”

There was movement in the crowd, and everyone was talking to each other.

At this time, Huang Daniu's mother walked up to the podium on the bronze bell with a cane, unable to speak for a long time.

Huang Da Niu and Hua Qiangqiang immediately ran up and held the old man up. The old man stood firm, and then said with all his might: "Everyone be quiet, please listen to my old woman say a few fair words." ”

Everyone fell silent.

Da Niu's mother continued: "My Da Niu has been temperamental since he was a child, but he is definitely not a ** person, the reason why he can marry He Cuigu, a woman who looks so poor, as a daughter-in-law, is because he only wants this woman to be capable and diligent, if it is a ** person, can he marry He Cuigu as his wife?" Now Da Niu is divorced from her, also because of the work in the village and the provocation of some people, not because of Zhou Yafang at all, just now everyone also heard Yafang say that her pregnancy has nothing to do with our big cow. He is now busy building roads in the village in the morning, and when he comes home, he has to take care of me and the calf, both as a father and a mother, he is really a small family to take care of everyone, you still have someone to ask Secretary Qiang Qiang to hold a meeting to revoke his position as village head, I am here to beg everyone, don't poke him in the back, he is doing his best for everyone! ”

The old man's tearful words moved many people present, and they all expressed great guilt.

"Da Niu, in fact, we don't know the inside story, we just listen to others, don't blame us!" Some kind-hearted villagers relented.

"Eh, I said everyone, don't cover the coffin first, who is right and wrong, who is wrong and who is right, what is going on is still a mystery, everyone listen to me, okay?" Xu Decai, who was standing in the crowd, spoke, "We are not talking about whether Huang Daniu, the village chief, is active enough, but that there is a problem with his life style, if a person who messes with the relationship between men and women becomes the village chief, how do you say to educate other villagers, how to make the whole village clean and upright?" ”

The crowd began to stir again, and everyone felt that what Xu Decai said made sense.

"Folks," Zhou Yafang said loudly: "Folks, please listen to me, didn't I say just now, Village Chief Niu is innocent and has nothing to do with me!" Alas, it's all my fault, I made a big mistake, that is, I didn't report the incident after it happened, otherwise there wouldn't be today's misunderstanding, everyone has to believe me! ”

"Hey, hey!" Xu Decai's wife Zhang Yanxia came out of the crowd and said, "Zhou Yafang, do you say that if you want people to believe you, you can believe you?" What do you mean, do you shit and wipe your ass, righteous, you say that he is innocent, he is innocent, you say he has nothing to do with you, it has nothing to do with you, so is the seed that flows out of your stomach with a dog or a cat? ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" burst into laughter from the crowd.

"Zhou Yafang, you said that Village Chief Niu is innocent, but there is no basis for saying this, unless you have a name and a surname to confess that wild man, we will obey you!" Zhang Yanxia shouted with the wind.

"That's right, confess that wild man! What is his name? You've got to make a clear statement! Some people in the crowd shouted.

Zhou Yafang gritted her teeth, her expression was very sad and excited, and just as she was about to speak, suddenly that terrifying scene appeared in front of her, a tall and sturdy man wearing a black hood pounced on her like a devil...... She only felt that her body was shaking, her legs were weak, and cold sweat broke out on her body, and then it was pitch black in front of her, and she fainted......
