Chapter Twenty-Six: Straight to the Ancestral Hall
The people of Shanwei Village have formed a habit that as long as the bell of the ancestral hall rings, no matter what they are busy with, they will put down their work and rush to the ancestral hall. What happened early this morning? The ancestral hall was surrounded by outsiders in green uniforms, and only a few people knew about it, so more people thought that something big had happened in the village, and it was the patriarch Huang Tou who called everyone.
The old yellow head was old and young, and he woke up early, but the sun had not yet come out and the fog was thick outside, so he exercised in the house in the morning, and his morning exercise was to pace slowly with a cane. When the gate was opened, he saw Stunned Qing running out with someone, shouting and shouting, so he stomped on his crutches, but Stunned Qing didn't pay attention to it at all.
After a while, I saw many people coming out of their respective homes and rushing in the direction of the ancestral hall, so they kept stomping on the crutches, and finally someone saw him, not because he heard the sound of the crutches, but because, when he heard the bell of the ancestral hall, when he passed by, he consciously or unconsciously glanced at this side, and saw that the old yellow head who must have stood under the bell was still at home.
The man walked over, leaned close to his ear and shouted, "Old Huang Gong, why are you here?" ”
The old yellow head said, "I'm not here, where are I?" ”
"Didn't you ring the bell of the ancestral hall?"
"The bell of the ancestral hall has ringed?" The old yellow head thought, is it stunned? Why did he knock? It's still early for him to become the patriarch of the Huang clan! Moreover, there are several of his great-grandchildren, and if he wants to be the patriarch, he has to ask Lao Huangtou if he is willing to pass it on to him!
"Play the piano indiscriminately! Play the piano around! The crutches in the old yellow man's hand stomped louder.
There were two people who came in a hurry, not too young, and they were also the old uncles of Shanwei Village, and one of them also had crutches in his hand. They were coming from the direction of the ancestral hall, and they probably saw that the bell was not ringing by the old yellow head, so they ran over and asked what was going on?
"Who rang the bell?" The old yellow man asked.
"A person with a foreign surname, I don't know."
"He's the opposite? Dare to run to Shanwei Village to mess around! ”
One of the old uncles said: "It is said that he is a big cadre in the county. ”
Another old uncle said, "It should be the head of the army." They have guns! ”
"You can't see clearly, his military uniform doesn't have a collar badge and cockade."
The two old uncles walked towards the ancestral hall with the old yellow head, and the three of them were more than two hundred and fifty years old together.
The front of the ancestral hall was full of villagers, but when they saw the three old people, they all consciously moved out of the way, and the three old people, who were more than two hundred and fifty years old, walked towards the closed door of the ancestral hall step by step. There were two "warriors" with submachine guns standing on both sides of the door, Director Li stood in the middle, with a short gun at his waist and his hands behind his back, spraying an aggressive gaze, however, the three old men walked more firmly, and only halfway through, the old uncle who was also on crutches tripped over his crutches, and his body was crooked, almost not pulling the other two people down.
The crowd burst out with an exclamation: "Ahhh
Soon, the three old men regained their firmness and walked in unison.
The Minister of Armed Forces, knowing the old customs of Shanwei Village, hurriedly rushed over and greeted the three old uncles and said, "I have alarmed the three old people." ”
The old yellow head turned a blind eye and asked loudly, "Why don't you open the door yet?" Where is the village chief? Where did the stunned Qing go? ”
Someone said: "I saw stunned Qing at the village chief's house just now." ”
The old yellow man said, "What now? Where are they? Call them at once, open the door at once. ”
The young people were quick-legged, and a few young people ran to the village chief's house to spread the word.
Director Li pushed forward with his right hand, made a gesture to stop, and said, "Please stay with the three old people, and no one is allowed to approach the ancestral hall."
As soon as Lao Huangtou raised his hand, the crutches in his hand flicked, but he couldn't push Director Li away, so he turned it into a thorn and plunged it straight into his chest. Because of his old age and slow movements, Director Li dodged lightly.
"Good dogs don't get in the way!" The two old uncles beside him said.
Director Li had never seen such a domineering old man, and when he heard this scolding again, his tone became harder: "I repeat again, no one is allowed to take a step forward!" ”
When the old yellow head heard this, he stomped on his crutches and said, "Why are you? What qualifications do you have to speak in Yamao Village? What qualifications do you have to call the shots in front of the Huang ancestral hall! ”
Director Li was generally immovable, with the flavor of an ultimatum, and said: "No matter who it is, as long as you take a step forward, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”
The three old men also took a big step forward, and then took another big step forward, and Director Li had to take two steps back. He found that there was really no way to deal with these three old men. You can't touch them, if you make a slight mistake, you really can't afford it, and it may become the fuse that detonates the anger of the crowd again.
"Get out of here, get out of here!" The old yellow head spitted on Director Li's body.
"You will bear the consequences of what you have done!" Director Li is somewhat intimidating. It's really not okay not to be scared, "Let our people go right away." ”
The old yellow head was still timid, and said: "As long as the secretary of the town party committee dares to show up, we will release him!" ”
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me!"
One of the old uncles asked, "Who are you?" Did it work to tell you? ”
Another said, "Can you ask the town government to revoke their decision?" ”
Director Li can't promise them, how can the town government's decision be changed? Does the town government's decision to change still have prestige? Can you still convince the public? Can you still lead this side of the water and soil?
"We can discuss something, but we can't take extreme measures!"
One of the old uncles said, "Are we going to take extreme measures?" ”
Another said, "If you had not deceived people too much, we would not have arrested your people." ”
The old yellow head stomped on his crutches, he was very dissatisfied with the two old uncles interjecting, what they said was nonsense, at present, the door must be opened, and the ancestral hall must be entered. People blocked the door of your ancestral hall and didn't let you in, this face was lost, and it was useless to say anything.
Someone shouted: "Here, the village chief is here." ”
"Open the door, open the door right away." The old yellow head shouted.
Before the village chief could squeeze over, the armed forces minister greeted him and blamed, "Why are you here now?" The village chief said, I have wanted to come for a long time, and I was entangled by the stunned blue. It was not easy to get out.
The old yellow head said, "What are you still doing?" ”
The village chief took out a bunch of keys and stopped when he saw Director Li blocking the gate.
The old yellow head yelled at the village chief: "Kill him!" ”
Director Li found a breakthrough and shifted the target to the village chief.
"Don't move, there's something to say here."
The Minister of Armed Forces said: "This is Director Li, Director Li of the county party committee office. ”
The village chief immediately remembered that last night, Zhang Jianzhong wrote a letter to this Director Li.
The old yellow head said: "Open the door first, and if you have something to say, enter the ancestral hall and say." ”
Entering the ancestral hall has become a kind of dignity, and Director Li must not let them in, and the guns and ammunition in Shanwei Village are in the ancestral hall. Now, the situation can still be controlled, just because the people of Shanwei Village do not have guns in their hands.
