Chapter 226: Gathering the Crowd
The north wind was howling, the wind was cold, and snowflakes were falling in the dark sky.
Since last night, a heavy snowfall that has not stopped until now has changed the appearance of the entire county. The mountains and rivers in the distance and the earth are covered in snow, and the rooftops and corners of the streets are covered with a thick layer of snow everywhere. Even the treetops were covered with large clumps of snowflakes, sinking slightly, and some of the treetops were broken by force, and the accumulated snowflakes were scattered down in a poplar.
Most of the pedestrians on the streets are wrapped in thick clothes. His body arched forward slightly, his hands folded in his sleeves, and his head hung low, avoiding the oncoming wind and snow. Feet creaking and creaking on the thick snow.
There weren't a lot of people walking around in the small square in front of the train station. At this time, they all took refuge from the wind and snow. It is only when the train enters the station that some people come out of the surrounding houses, under the eaves, and from sheltered places.
A jeep rushed out of the corner in front of the small square, and after entering the square, it braked sharply, and a sharp and piercing sound sounded, and under the influence of inertia, the car left a long mark on the snow, and a large pile of snowflakes was brought up behind the car.
A middle-aged pedestrian walking in front of him was startled by the approaching car. Thinking that the car would crash over, he dodged a few steps in the snow and muttered a vague sentence in his mouth. I don't know who drives so recklessly, it's amazing to have a car? What if this hits the right person?
The small car door opened, and two people jumped out of the car. The pedestrian was a few meters away, and looked up just in time for the eyes of the two people up and down. The pedestrians couldn't help but shudder, so terrible looks. There was an indescribable sense of danger in the shadows. Both of them had a red layer on their eyes, as if they were going to burst out in the next moment.
At a glance, the middle-aged man's heart beat violently. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look again, so he hurriedly walked into the distance.
Glancing at pedestrians, the two men hurried to the passenger exit of the train station.
On the Hunan and Guizhou lines, a train full of passengers began to slow down and slow, and the train was about to stop at the station. Some passengers in the carriage began to climb up and down their seats, taking their luggage off the luggage racks, and some squatted down. Drag the huge bag out under the seat.
After the train swayed to a stop, the people who were about to get off were already scrambling to get to the door. The conductor opened the door, and the people in the car rushed down. The people outside the car wanted to go up and blocked the door of the car. The conductor yelled impatiently, "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, let people get off first."
As soon as he got to the platform, Da Gang took a breath of cold air. Tighten the brand-new military coat he was wearing. Get off the closed train. The temperature difference was too big for a while, and Da Gang was a little uncomfortable. If you think about the weather in the deep zone, wearing a suit and a light sweater as a base layer is not a problem.
Li Zhendong's hot breath exhaled and immediately condensed into a white mist. The wind and snow blowing on the face, the cold and biting feeling on the face. It's choking, this winter in the small county town seems to be extraordinarily cold! Tighten your hands on two large suitcases and take a step.
As soon as they got out of the station, Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo greeted the "son". glanced at Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo. The two of them forced out a smile and red eyes. all fell in Li Zhendong's eyes.
Nodding, Li Zhendong was expressionless, "Let's go, let's get in the car." Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo reached out and took the things in Li Zhendong's hand.
Zhao Qiang and Xiao Weiguo's mood was irritable and unsmooth, and the reason for this was very clear to Li Zhendong.
In the past six months, Zhao Qiang and others have followed the big boss to do things, and they have been listened to and seen by relatives and neighbors. I have long been envious of the changes and income of the people. People kept coming to the door asking if there was a suitable job. The elders of the family have also spoken, if you can, you can take care of your relatives.
After the chestnut business ended, on the side of Hunan Province, Li Zhendong rearranged his work. There is a lack of manpower, and Zhao Qiang and others are authorized to recruit people. The children of the machinery factory, Lao Liu, Li Ergou and others, these are the regular employees under Li Zhendong who are recognized by him. The rest of the people are temporary employees found by Zhao Qiang, Xiao Weiguo and other children of the machinery factory.
Temporary employees can get a salary of forty or fifty yuan, which is comparable to the workers in the factory, and the work is relatively easy. The people who are looking for are everyone's relatives and friends, which is approved by Li Zhendong, which is similar to the practice in Yun Province.
The cargo transit warehouse in the small county town is very important, and Zhao Qiang arranged a lot of people. It's just that something big happened here, a cousin was seriously injured this time, and a cousin of Xiao Weiguo was slightly injured. Although no one in the family blames him, the fault of this matter is not his own. However, looking at the gloomy faces of the elders was even more uncomfortable than whipped on the two of them with a water-soaked leather whip.
As soon as the door closed, the wind and snow were separated from the window. The jeep started and slowly drove towards the road in the distance. Li Zhendong, who got into the car, did not ask immediately, but squinted his eyes and leaned on the seat, and the car was unusually quiet. For quite some time, only the roar of the Jeep's engine was heard.
"Zhao Qiang, let's say, what is the reason? How could something like this happen all of a sudden? Li Zhendong finally spoke. The cold voice came out, but Zhao Qiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Li Gongzi didn't speak, and the atmosphere in the car was really depressing.
Will something happen?
Du, the section elder of the security department of the county hospital, walked around the room with a calm face and didn't know how many times. Lao Du is almost fifty years old, and in his mind, he remembers some things that happened in the special era before.
After the two seriously injured people who were sent the day before yesterday were rescued, several others with minor injuries were also dealt with, and they were all living in the county hospital. The people from the police station came to find out about the situation, and then there was no follow-up. I heard that these people were injured from a fight, and they ran away after hitting someone.
Since yesterday, Lao Du has felt that something is wrong. One after another, people came to visit the wounded, mostly young people. Since this morning, there have been a lot more people coming to the county hospital. Except for a few relatives who appeared to be injured and were taking care of the wounded, the rest of the people who came to visit the sick were young people who came in groups of three or five.
Under the doctor's warning, the young men did not disturb the patient, but only glanced outside the ward. However, these young people who visited the patients did not leave the hospital, but gathered in the corridors and halls of the hospital to discuss something.
As time passed, more and more people came. Lao Du roughly estimated that the number of people was already more than dozens, and, most importantly, Lao Du observed that most of them carried sharp weapons. What Lao Du overheard, many people rushed back from various parts of Hunan Province in the past two days.
"Xiao Luo, you hurry up and go to the police station in the city, find the comrades from the police station, tell me about the situation here, and ask them to send a few people to take a look."
Xiao Luo glanced at the corridor outside, "Section Chief, it should be fine, right?" These people are all patients who come to the inpatient department, and they are not for our hospital. ”
"What do you know? If it's just an ordinary visit to the patient, you'll leave after seeing it. Now that they are all gathered here, there are many people, they are emotional, and a little thing will cause a big disaster! Didn't you just see a patient who came to see a doctor and almost had a conflict with them? Lao Du shook his head. (To be continued......)
