【Chapter 013】 Antecedents and consequences
To the southwest of the hills is the main vein of the verdant mountains, which are covered with lush primeval forests and are also the birthplace of the Xiaotong River. Liu Rui heard from his father that in the past, the verdant mountains were a paradise for animals, birds and animals could be seen everywhere, and there were even traces of tigers.
The Great Leap Forward in the fifties and sixties, forestry production in the seventies and eighties, and indiscriminate deforestation made the ecology of the small green mountains on the periphery of the verdant mountains extremely fragile, and they were about to fall into a state of collapse.
Fortunately, the policy of returning farmland to forests and closing mountains for afforestation began to be implemented in the mid-to-late 90s, and Xiaoqingshan finally eased up and the ecosystem gradually returned to balance.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number and variety of various wild animals on Xiaoqingshan. At first, the villagers were very excited, after all, their homes have returned to the state of green mountains and green waters, which is a happy thing.
However, with that, there are more troubles.
Perhaps due to the lack of food, or perhaps the absence of natural predators, more and more wild boars are coming down the mountain to feed, which has brought great harm to the villagers.
In the past two years, the villagers in the mountains near Xiaoqingshan, as long as the crops are ripe, without exception, have been patronized by wild boars and suffered heavy losses.
At first, the scarecrows and fence walls were more or less deterrent, but after a long time, the wild boars regarded them as if they were nothing, and they still rushed into the crops. Later, in the middle of the night, two kicks, torches, and gongs were struck,...... And so on, all of them have lost their effect. No matter how scared the villagers were, the wild boars were calm and swaggered to turn the villagers' crops into free canteens. Some wild boars are even frightened and will burst out and hurt people, and in the past two years, five or six villagers have been bitten by wild boars.
Although Shangliang Village is deeply affected by wild boars, it does not change the fact that they are national second-class protected animals, and the villagers are helpless about them.
Sometimes, people are really worthless in front of these protected animals.
If a person is bitten by a wild boar, the wild boar will fly away, leaving only the injured villagers to consider themselves unlucky; Once the villagers have killed the wild boar, trouble comes.
Last year, a villager in Xialiang village dug a trap next to his family's mountain area and caught a wild boar.
After this incident, even if the nearby villagers hated the wild boars so much, they did not dare to dig traps, put traps or put iron clips easily, so they could only use all kinds of methods to scare and drive away the wild boars coming down the mountain. However, after the wild boars were accustomed to the tricks of the villagers, they were not afraid at all, and they swaggered down the mountain to forage for food despite the noise of gongs and drums.
"Isn't there anything you can do?" Listening to Wang Shaojun explain all the causes and consequences, Liu Rui realized that this wild boar was really tricky.
"Yes! If the Forestry Bureau approves that wild boars can be hunted, and then the Public Security Bureau allocates guns to the village militia, the problem can be solved. Wang Shaozhang smiled bitterly and said a method that made Liu Rui feel incredible.
Getting the Forestry Bureau to approve the killing of wild boars within a certain number is a feasible solution, but it is difficult to get the Public Security Bureau to equip the village militia with guns. Although Liu Rui does not know the details of the handling, it is estimated that the county public security bureau is not qualified to approve it, and it is only possible to apply to the provincial public security department.
Shaking his head, Liu Rui stopped talking and walked back with Wang Shaojun silently.
Halfway through, Liu Rui turned into his own peanut field, fortunately he was not patronized by wild boars, compared to the cornfield just now, it was lucky.
"Liu Rui, come here!" As soon as he returned to the creek, Liu Rui heard someone shouting to him.
Liu Rui turned around and saw that Wang Huaguo, the village chief who was standing with several people in the village, was waving to him, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
What are they looking for themselves?
"Uncle Hua Guo is looking for you, why don't you go soon!?" Wang Shaozhang patted Liu Rui on the back and said loudly.
Looking at Liu Rui's back, Wang Shaojun showed a hint of envy, but he also knew that he hadn't finished junior high school, and his brain was not bright, even if he was on the pole, the head of the village couldn't look down on him.
"Uncle Huaguo, are you looking for me?" Standing in front of several bigwigs, Liu Rui couldn't help but be a little nervous.
The surname Wang is the surname of Shangliang Village, and the interests of the Wang family represent the interests of most of the people in the village. Wang Huaguo, the village chief and branch secretary, has been shoulder-to-shoulder for nearly 30 years, and he is a powerful character in Shangliang Village.
"You know all these uncles and uncles, so I won't be verbose." Wang Huaguo patted Liu Rui's shoulder with a smile and said, "Put aside the things at home tomorrow and accompany your uncle to the city." ”
"Okay!" Liu Rui didn't know what was going on, and in the face of Wang Huaguo, he agreed without any hesitation.
Seeing that Liu Rui's reaction was quite calm, Wang Huaguo and a few people next to him looked at each other and smiled, and nodded with satisfaction.
"When driving wild boars at night, stay safe. Wait for me at the gate of the village office at eight o'clock tomorrow morning" Wang Huaguo didn't say anything else, so he sent Liu Rui away.
Liu Rui just turned around, said half a sentence, and was sent back, and when he returned to the crowd, he was still confused.
"The eldest son of the Liu family, is it okay?" When Liu Rui walked away, Wang Quanfu, the accountant of Shangliang Village, helped his huge black-rimmed glasses and said.
"This kid is something we grew up watching, his surname is calm, he is a good seedling, and he can be on his own if he cultivates it." Wang Huaguo touched his smooth head with his hand and said with certainty.
Although Wang Huaguo said so, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Without him, just because Liu Rui is not surnamed Wang!
It's just that the younger generation of the Wang family, there are few who have become a climate, and they can't even distinguish between the southeast and the northwest when they go out.
Originally, Wang Huaguo wanted to suppress Liu Rui's appointment as the secretary of the Youth League, but Zhang Zhenguang from Xialiang Village spread the word, saying that Shangliang Village would get him to Xialiang Village without Liu Rui's words.
Shangliang Village and Xialiang Village are not only good neighbors who protect each other, but also old rivals who are secretly competing, and the competition between the two villages is all-round.
Wang Huaguo and Zhang Zhenguang, the party secretary of Xialiang Village, became the party secretary almost in the same year, and the two of them brought the competition between the two villages to the extreme. In the long-term competition, the two leaders have become friends and rivals, which is also a rare story.
"Old fellow, even if you are his uncle, you still have to drink my footwashing water!" As soon as he thought of Zhang Zhenguang's deflated appearance, Wang Huaguo felt very proud and couldn't help laughing.
