Chapter Twenty-Three: Last Year's Gambling and This Year's Sheep
When Political Commissar Zhang learned that those security guards had been sent to the detention center, he was immediately angry, called Section Chief Tian and a few of them to his office, and reprimanded them fiercely, but he was angry, and he couldn't do anything to the heads of those departments, and besides, everyone was already locked up in the detention center, so the matter could only be stopped.
Since Liu Xiu finished calculating the hexagrams for the leaders of those county bureaus, he has a soft spot for the cause of "divination", and if he has nothing to do, he will tell the hexagrams for others, if it were not for the fact that the hexagram is suspected of spreading feudal superstition, Liu Xiu really plans to set up a stall in the bazaar, and make some extra money.
This morning, Liu Xiu was showing Ma Nannan palmistry in the duty room, the police phone next to him rang, Liu Xiu looked at the caller ID, and then picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Fengji Police Station, do you need any help?" ”
A somewhat angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey...... Is it a police station? I am a villager in Lu Village, Fengjitian, and we have many "sheep gangs" here who are grazing sheep and gnawing wheat seedlings in the wheat field. ”
After Liu Xiu heard this, he asked with some doubts: "I've heard of the Salt Gang, the Qing Gang, and the Beggars Gang before, but I haven't heard of the Sheep Gang, what is this Sheep Gang for?" ”
"That's the case, the sheep gang is our dialect here, referring to those farmers who drive the sheep herd, there are more than 100 such farmers in our Fengji Township, each of these farmers has one or two hundred sheep, as long as it is winter, these farmers are less than three or five households to form a sheep gang, more than a dozen households form a sheep gang, they put their own sheep in the house, all of them are driven into our wheat field, the wheat seedlings in the field are fed to their sheep, the 12 acres of wheat planted by my family have just emerged, Now they have all been gnawed away by those sheep gangs, not only our village, but all the villages in Fengji Township have been ravaged by those sheep gangs. After listening to Liu Xiu's question, the police told in detail about the origin and dangers of the sheep gang.
After listening to the narration of the informant, Liu Xiu asked, "Didn't you take any measures?" For example, drive their sheep out of the field, or warn the sheep gangs not to go into your land to graze their sheep. ”
After the policeman heard this, he thought that Liu Xiu didn't want to care about it, and hurriedly said: "We have used these methods, but they don't work at all, those sheep gangs don't listen to us at all, and sometimes they threaten us, saying that putting the sheep in our wheat field is to look up to us, if we dare to shout, we will beat us, we can't help it, then I remembered to call the police, comrade police, you can help us." ”
After hearing what the policeman said, Liu Xiu said: "You tell me, where are those sheep gangs grazing sheep now, let's go over and see." ”
After Liu Xiu wrote down the address provided by the informant, he said to Li Liang and Ren Dongchen: "Let's go, let's take a look at those sheep gangs." ”
When Liu Xiu and the others arrived at the scene that the policeman said, they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, only to see that in the green wheat field, there were hundreds of sheep gnawing wheat seedlings there, and those sheep gnawed the wheat seedlings in the wheat field cleanly.
After seeing this, Liu Xiuqi's face turned a little blue, the behavior of these sheep gangs is simply too hateful, those farmers have worked hard for a year, and they have all seen these wheat seedlings pop up, but now they are all gnawed up by the sheep raised by those sheep gangs, so that after the warm spring next year, these wheat fields that have been gnawed by the sheep will either reduce their yield or be out of production.
Liu Xiu picked up the loudspeaker on the police car and shouted to the sheep herders in the field: "We are the police of the Fengji Police Station, all the farmers who are grazing sheep in the wheat field, please drive your sheep out of the wheat field immediately, repeat, please drive your sheep out of the wheat field immediately, otherwise, we will take measures." ”
When the owners of the sheep gang saw the police coming, they actually asked them to drive the sheep out of the wheat fields? If you don't get out, do you have to take measures?
After hearing this, the owners of those sheep gangs all got up, and some of them sneered at Liu Xiu: "I said comrade police, are you idle and have nothing to do?" I really want to see what you police will do about these sheep? ”
After listening to the words of the owners of those sheep gangs, Liu Xiu was angry in his heart, and thought: It seems that these sheep gangs have been spoiled by those honest villagers, and now not only do they not realize their mistakes in the slightest, but they are all crazy to the sky one by one.
Liu Xiu asked again: "Are you sure you don't drive those sheep out of the wheat field?" ”
“haha…… We decided not to drive the sheep out just to see what you police can do about the sheep. After Liu Xiu finished asking, the owners of those sheep gangs continued to fight there.
After hearing this, Liu Xiu called Liu Dawei directly, asked him and Qi Yong to go to the store to buy 50 meters of rope first, and then contacted the policeman, and asked the policeman to help borrow two motor tricycles in the village, and after they were ready, they all rushed to the wheat field west of Tianlu Village, and then everyone was ready to catch sheep.
When Liu Dawei and Qi Yong arrived at the scene in the motorized tricycle of the policeman, they were also jumped by these sheep, and these sheep were too ruined.
Liu Xiu saw that everyone had arrived, so he began to assign tasks, the policeman and the villager he found were responsible for transporting sheep to the police station with a motorized tricycle, Liu Xiu and Li Liang and Ren Dongchen were responsible for grabbing and tying up the sheep, Liu Dawei and Qi Yong were responsible for carrying the tied sheep to the motorized tricycle, and after the order, Liu Xiu waved his hand and shouted: "Start acting." ”
When the owners of the sheep gang saw that the police had really started to catch the sheep, they did not dare to be arrogant anymore, and hurriedly drove the sheep to flee in all directions.
When Liu Xiu and the others first started catching sheep, they all felt very fresh, and they were very energetic, but after catching more than a dozen sheep, they didn't want to catch them, because these sheep were really dirty, smelly and smelly, and the goats were better, except for the smell of sheep, their bodies were quite clean, but those sheep were really unbearable, not only did they have a smell of sheep, but they were also covered with sheep dung and eggs, not to mention how disgusting.
After catching more than a dozen sheep, Liu Dawei and the others all came to Liu Xiu to complain: "I said instructor, do you see if we have enough of these sheep?" I really can't catch it, these sheep are so smelly, it's almost gone, what do you think? ”
Liu Xiu was actually tired of grasping crookedness in his heart, but he still pretended not to care and said, "Where is this?" Why do you have to catch a hundred and eighty, when will we catch those two motor tricycles, when will we stop, don't talk about it, hurry up and catch the sheep, or they will all run out in a while. ”
Seeing that everyone still didn't want to continue to catch sheep, Liu Xiu mobilized everyone: "We are not caught in vain, after we catch these sheep back today, when the owners of these sheep come to collect the sheep, we will fine each sheep 200 yuan, and then distribute it uniformly according to the commission, everyone calculates, how much can we earn in this way?" I've talked about it, what are you waiting for? Let's get started. ”
After listening to Liu Xiu's encouragement and mobilization, Liu Dawei didn't care about the dirty smell of the sheep, and one by one rekindled their fighting spirit, as if they had taken hormones, they ran towards the sheep, Liu Xiu grabbed the sheep while pointing out the actions of others.
"Liu Dawei, the one you caught is just a ewe, can't you see that the sheep's belly is bulging? We can't catch this kind of sheep, and after catching it back, we will only be left to serve it, and then we will change it. ”
"Li Liang, what are you doing with that leader? That's the strongest sheep in the flock, be careful of the horns against you, look at what I'm talking about, I haven't finished saying this, you just take a beat, where is the top? Is it okay? If it's okay, get up quickly and let me continue to catch the sheep. ”
"Qi Yong, what are you doing with that little lamb? Hurry up and put it down and grab a bigger sheep. ”
"Ren Dongchen, how did you ride on the sheep? Come down, the sheep is running towards the dung heap on the edge of the wheat field, oops...... Don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you, if you come down a second early, you won't fall on the dung heap, rely on ...... You're covered in dung, don't make do with me, stay away from me. ”
Liu Xiu saw that all the people were busy, and also ignited the heart of fighting, and saw that there was a goat around him that was very clean, so he ran towards the goat, trying to catch it, but although this goat is cleaner than the sheep, but it is also super fast, and when it runs, it is like a rabbit, Liu Xiu chased out four miles before he caught the goat, and when the goat was loaded onto the motor tricycle, Liu Xiu was almost tired and lay down.
Some of the owners of the sheep gang saw Liu Xiu and they loaded the sheep on the motorized tricycle, so they came to Liu Xiu to theorize: "Comrade policeman, aren't we just herding sheep from the wheat field, this is not a big crime, why do you catch sheep?" ”
Liu Xiu sat on the ground, gasped and said, "Are you embarrassed to ask why we catch sheep?" I tell you, you are deliberately destroying the crops, and what are you doing with these wheat seedlings being gnawed by your flock? Why don't you go and graze sheep in your own wheat fields? ”
After Liu Xiu finished saying this, the owner of a sheep gang said in a heartfelt manner: "There is no forage or leaves in this winter, we don't go to the wheat field to herd sheep, where do we go?" If our sheep are starved to death, are you responsible? ”
"Again, don't you go to your own wheat field to herd sheep?" After listening to the man's words, Liu Xiu asked rhetorically.
After hearing Liu Xiu's rhetorical question, the owner of the sheep gang quibbled: "Who said that I didn't graze sheep from my own wheat field?" This is my family's wheat field, and I can't herd sheep from my own wheat field? ”
Liu Xiu replied without thinking about it: "You're really right, even if you herd sheep in your own wheat field." ”
The owner of the sheep gang was speechless for a long time because of Liu Xiu's words, and thought: This is the first time I have heard that farmers can't graze sheep in their own wheat fields, how can this policeman be more unreasonable than us.
