Chapter 3: The Disappearance of the Prodigy

The birth of a new government awaits us with a lot of waste waiting to be built, and what awaits us will be difficult! All kinds of old forces will spare no effort to use all kinds of means to fight and destroy! Let's just talk about economic construction, the old capitalists and all kinds of drills and camps have intervened in various government departments in an attempt to crush and destroy the founding of New China, and some of them have used extremely sinister and unscrupulous means, corrupting the leading cadres of state organs, evading taxes, stealing state property, cutting corners, and stealing state economic intelligence, and their behavior has been rampant to the point of outrageousness! In October 1951, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China launched the so-called "three antis and five antis" campaign, calling on governments at all levels to resolutely curb and crack down on this trend, never let them succeed, defend the purity of the party, and ensure the smooth progress of economic construction! What is even more difficult is that at the same time, the whole country is in full swing with the three major movements of "suppressing the rebellion", "resisting US aggression and aiding Korea", and "land reform", which are called "stormy movements!" The scope of the anti-rebellion movement in China, especially in China, is so large that it has affected almost every corner of the country! ……

The wife of the old eight roads died early, and gave birth to three sons, stones, mills, steel bombs (the third child has been passed to a relative since he was a child, poor, can't afford to raise, and when the child is older, he will come back to see it during the New Year's holidays), the names are loud, the common people are like this, no one is exquisite, anything in life can be used to make a name, and there is a shovel (that "chan word can't be written, the meaning of urinal"), anal, no matter how good he sounds, some nicknames can be called for a lifetime when they open their mouths, and the name can't be remembered, Everyone knows the nickname, it's easy to feed!

Lao Balu asked the Nianzi family to move over and live together, although it was a little crowded, but first, everyone had a response, and second, the two children could not leave each other. The family is very happy, and the two children are growing up happily under the care of the family!

It is far away from the city, the economy is underdeveloped, and it does not play much role in this place, and the focus of the work is to suppress the rebellion movement, and the Kuomintang spies and bandits instigated by them are very rampant here, so this is the real focus of work in this area!

Lao Balu is the main person in charge here, known as the old secretary. Since he returned to his hometown, he has been serving as the main leader here, and he is a good party member who can be trusted and trusted by the party!

In the compound of the brigade headquarters at the east end of the village, it was the headquarters of this crackdown on bandits, and he was in charge of front-line command and militia training. There is also a leader sent by his superiors to cooperate with his work! Since the suppression of the rebellion, despite the efforts of many parties, the actual results have not been satisfactory, and cunning banditry activities have continued to harass the people and government organs from time to time. Today, the leadership team of Lao Balu and his party are actively trying to think of ways to take measures, how to defeat the arrogance of this evil force as soon as possible!

On this day, when the old secretary and all the cadres were discussing related matters, someone suddenly came to report: report to the old secretary, someone from the family said that the light rain and the stones were gone!

Everyone was stunned at the time, and everyone knew about these two children. Lao Balu hurriedly asked people to call the two daughters-in-law outside the door to ask about the situation. The two daughters-in-law anxiously told the ins and outs of the situation. It doesn't matter who it is, everyone will think about the bandits when something like this happens, and soon an ominous thought will naturally arise!

Lao Balu stood up in the twilight and said, notify the party members and cadres of the company commanders and prepare to go!

The empty fields are endless, and the Taihang Mountains in the west stretch majestically, running through the north and south! In the daytime, under the blue sky, floating clouds, at this time you will see the signal flare rising from time to time, which makes people shudder! Although it is broad daylight now, you have to shudder and sweat for the two lost children!

The inexplicable disappearance of these two little guys has to make Lao Balu suspicious, he knows the situation on the other side of the mountain very well, and he also knows very well the origin of his relationship with the remnants of those bandits, he has only one thought now: hurry up and know the whereabouts of the two children, and must not let these two children suffer any accidents! ……

He gathered the company commanders and party members and cadres of the seven companies together, explained the situation, and asked them to mobilize all the villagers to stop what they were doing, and all went to find these two children, everything can be delayed, but the whereabouts of these two children can not be delayed, they must see people in life, and they must see corpses in death. And then extend a radius of 100 miles without falling into every corner, there must be no mistakes, to be careful and serious, this is the most important task now, go separately! ……

Lao Balu was in the empty room of the brigade headquarters, smoking desperately back and forth, and his ears were listening to every strange sound outside all the time!

The villagers outside are nervous and orderly searchers, this matter does not need to be said by the secretary They will also treat this matter as their own big thing, the birth process of these two little guys has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I heard that they disappeared suddenly, and the first feeling they gave them was that they were anxious in addition to shock, their lives have already been integrated into their own blood! There are no distractions, no selfishness, people are crying out loudly in their hearts: Child, where are you?!

Report to the secretary, we have not found anyone here; Report to the secretary, we haven't found anyone here; Report to the secretary, we haven't found anyone here; Report secretary, we haven't found anyone here either! The contacts of the four production teams have arrived, but no one has been found! Although the village is not big, how can two little guys who have never been far away run there? Besides, judging from the time, they won't go far?! Lao Balu searched for all kinds of possibilities in his heart, there are many people who know these two children within a radius of 100 miles, but those who have seen them may not all know Lu Dao, after all, the children are so old, and everyone admires these two children, so they won't have bad intentions towards them; I joined the army to serve the country and kill the enemy, and the people respected me; I have indeed offended some people in order to make a living, but at this time, who has the courage to come to my door to do such a bold thing!

Lao Balu's mind is full of question marks, and the more he thinks about it, the more he doubts and the more he dares to think about it anymore! Just in case, he immediately said to the four liaison officers, hurry up and call a few militia company commanders for me, hurry! ……

After a while, the militia company commanders of each village arrived, and the secretary said very seriously, quickly gather all the militia, bring guns and grenades, and fan from east to west, and continue to search with the people. ……

The air suddenly became tense, and the people saw that the militiamen were all loaded with guns, and their expressions were extremely serious, and no one dared to slack off, and they stepped up their carpet search to the villages and all around in a more careful and serious manner! ……

Lao Balu couldn't sit still, he said to several leaders who were doing it, you wait for the news first, I'll take a look. After saying that, he grabbed his gun and hurriedly walked out of the headquarters!

It was getting dark, but there was still no news of the two children, and everyone was looking for them together, and most of the people in several villages had not eaten for half the day, and people began to gradually lose confidence. Two children, even if they can walk again, they can't walk this place within a radius of 100 miles, and the child is lost during the day, if you walk on the road, someone will definitely see it, their characteristics are too obvious, but no one will find out what is it? There's definitely something strange about this! It's definitely not a way to blindly look for it like this, at least the way to find it is wrong! There are several leaders and company commanders, you have expressed their opinions in one word, and everyone has made it clear, yes, there is no result in this, and there will definitely be no result in this search, there must be no result, there must be no doubt! So what should we do? ……

Night fell, and darkness shrouded the land, with stars and moonlight, and a few owls in the distance, and frogs timidly from time to time! At this moment, people faintly heard the noisy sound of horses' hooves, coming from west to east, slowly from far to near, more and more clear, mixed with the sound of "driving" horses! An agitated spirit on the old Eighth Road said, hurry up and fire the gun, and call all the militia to gather here, there are special circumstances! ……
