Chapter 18: A Song of Sorrow
Villagers whose relatives worked in the government or public institutions were the first to move out, followed by villagers who were not determined to move away, and Chengjia Village was half empty after only half a month. The demolition team led by Wang Laosan, based on the experience learned from Mr. Chen, showed their strength in Chengjia Village. They bought a bunch of poisonous snakes from out of town and threw them in the homes of the so-called nail households. When one plan failed, the second plan was used to get a cart of feces from the public toilet and paste the door of the nail household. If this still doesn't work, smash the glass and knock the tiles, dig a trench and cut off the power, do everything. Under their harassment day and night, some villagers chose to compromise and left Chengjia Village with their families.
The young man with strong blood and strength fought several times with Wang Laosan's demolition team, and each was injured. The villagers, who were reluctant to move out, hung a bright national flag on their roofs, determined to do so if they had to pay their blood and lives to save their homes.
The village secretary came to Uncle Cheng's house and gave an ultimatum: "Lao Cheng, it's still too late to move out, and in another hour, the demolition team will enter the village." When the house is not saved, and the compensation will not be paid, don't blame me for not taking care of you. β
Uncle Cheng's answer was very simple, he spat and gave it to the village secretary and closed the door.
Cheng Liping tried to send his parents away, but his parents asked Cheng Liping to stay away as soon as possible, and neither side could convince the other, so he finally decided to stay in the village and fight to the end. This result is the last thing Cheng Liping wants to see, but he understands the hard work of his parents, and would rather suffer himself than take risks for his son. Having said that, how could Cheng Liping bear to watch his parents endure hardships?
Old Uncle Cheng sighed and said, "Hongbin is not here, Yaya was also sent away by me, Li Ping, in case something happens to the two of us, I can ask you to take care of their brothers and sisters." Cheng Liping's parents didn't say anything, they had already said everything they had to say. Cheng Liping stood in the courtyard of old Uncle Cheng, glanced at his house from time to time, and then looked at the big tung tree that had gone through the wind and frost. He didn't think he would be standing here and playing the role of a protester, but it all happened.
Excavators drove into Chengjia Village, and heavily armed demolition teams were stationed outside the village. The most conspicuous thing was a row of flashing ambulances, and it seemed that they had prepared everything for a long time.
The largest and most tragic demolition in the history of Licheng has finally begun.
Tan Jialin did not come to the scene, yesterday afternoon, he arranged the demolition work, and then took a special car to the provincial capital to report to the leaders in charge of the work plan of the Licheng City Party Committee. Sun Xing served as the commander-in-chief of the demolition, coordinating and directing the work of various departments to ensure that the demolition plan could be successfully completed.
The village secretary's home is in the first row of Chengjia Village, and he is the first to bear the brunt. I saw that the bucket of the crawler excavator was raised high, and it was slowly pressed down under the force of the hydraulic oil pump. In just a few minutes, the beautiful little western-style building of the secretary of the Chengjia Village Party Committee became a pile of ruins. Other excavators also followed, showing off their strength and driving towards the houses.
"Bang bang bang", only the general whistling sound was heard, and piercing flames were launched from more than a dozen houses, mixed with dense explosions. The demolition personnel were caught off guard, and they threw down their tools in fright and ran back. The excavator also stopped, waiting for further instructions from the demolition command.
Wang Laosan was stunned, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said, "Using fireworks as *, it's quite a big game, it's really exciting." β
Zhao Si shook his head and said, "Third brother, it's a bit difficult. β
Wang Laosan snorted and said, "Lu Ban has a big axe in front of the door, they are far behind, and the second brother has not yet dispatched it." β
The demolition team of the Zhibang Industrial Group, heavily armed, dragged a high-pressure water cannon to the front and fired the water cannon at the firing points. Soon, the fireworks were suppressed. But the fireworks that Cheng squinted at elsewhere went off again. For a time, the village was filled with gunsmoke, like a battlefield.
Sun Xing's face was ugly, and he didn't say a word with a straight face. Wang Dunru ordered the police around him to act immediately and arrest all the villagers who were making trouble. Du Dezhong argued on the basis of reason, but he was alone, and Tan Jialin was not here, so he could not find a strong helper, so he could only watch the situation continue to deteriorate.
However, the fireworks were set off for a little while, and after a few minutes, they fell silent again.
Cheng squinted a box of fireworks tied to his waist, drilled out of the corner of his house, and slowly walked towards the demolition team of Zhibang Industrial Group. The police at the scene shouted loudly with a loudspeaker, urging Cheng to abandon his weapons and surrender immediately. Cheng squinted and obediently stopped, stood less than twenty meters away from the demolition team, and lit the fireworks on his body with a lighter.
A ball of flames sparked from Cheng Squint's body, and the demolition team realized that he had poured gasoline on him, and they retreated one after another. Cheng Squint didn't want to die with them at all, he just told these uninvited guests with simple words: "Whoever demolishes my home, I will bomb him." β
The high-pressure water gun was aimed at Cheng Squint, but Cheng Squint was burned beyond recognition and was already dead.
The villagers wept and filmed such scenes with their mobile phones and posted them on the Internet.
Sun Xing couldn't bear it and wanted to stop today's action, but after thinking about it, this demolition was a unanimous decision of the leaders, he fully respected democracy and freedom, and for the sake of Licheng's development plan for thousands of years, he must be ruthless to be a villain this time. What is the death of a villager, all successful politicians have tough and persistent iron-fisted methods, and they must not be merciful to the petty and stubborn criminals who block the progress of history. Thinking of this, Sun Xing's guilt disappeared completely, stood on the temporary command platform, and issued an order for forced demolition.
The first wave of demolition teams led by street gangsters and ruffians led the village. After breaking through the door, they smashed the villagers' furniture and pots, and stuffed valuable things into their pockets.
The village was filled with shouts and cries, and everywhere there were villagers lying on the ground struggling. Cheng Liping carried a solid wooden stick, guarded it at the door of his house, rushed left and right, pointing to who hit whom. Wang Laosan hid in the crowd and shouted with joy: "He did it, he did it, kill him for me." β
Zhao Si trembled with fright, and said, "Third brother, we can't beat him, call the excavator and shoot him to death with a bucket." β
Wang Laosan slapped his thigh, and immediately called Mr. Chen, telling him to hurry up and arrange an excavator, and this time he must kill Cheng Liping. After listening to Wang Laosan's words, Mr. Chen frowned and asked, "Have the police acted?" β
Wang Laosan shouted impatiently: "What do you care about the police, they won't help me kill that bastard." β
Mr. Chen endured the anger in his heart and asked again: "Mr. Wang, tell me first, did the police participate in the forced demolition?" β
Wang Laosan glanced back, and the police were far away outside the village, with a neat lineup and domineering momentum. "No," Wang Laosan shouted, "it's all ours now." Mr. Chen, let me tell you, he has already taken action and brought down more than a dozen of us...... Hey, hey, hey......"
Mr. Chen hung up the phone. He's a smart guy and keenly aware that something isn't quite right. As far as he knows, almost half of the city's police force was summoned for this forced demolition, and so many policemen were stationed at the scene, neither participating in the forced demolition nor stopping the forced demolition of others, indicating that the top is playing a big game of chess. Thinking that Tan Jialin was not here, he suddenly understood everything, and without saying a word, he took his wife and children and went straight to the international airport in Linshi.
Wang Laosan was extremely angry, this idea was obviously from Mr. Chen, but now the chain has been dropped, and he is not righteous at all. Wang Laosan, who was carried away by hatred, could think of anything else, only Mr. Chen's suggestion was left in his mind, first attack Cheng Liping's parents, and then force Cheng Liping to kill, and finally the police outside immediately made a decision, shot him on the spot, and successfully completed his plan.
I have to say that Wang Laosan is a very straight-minded person, and he is also a naΓ―ve person who is almost ridiculous.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of a group of thugs to surround Cheng Liping, Wang Laosan rushed into Cheng Liping's courtyard with a few henchmen. What Wang Laosan didn't expect was that the two elderly people were not afraid, holding a rolling pin and a shovel in their hands, looking at themselves with fierce eyes. Wang Laosan was startled, and when he turned around, he saw that Cheng Liping, who was covered in blood, had already surrounded him, where could he still take care of Zhao Si and Ma Liu, twisted up the stairs, and ran straight to the roof. At this moment, the huge bucket on the excavator stretched out, and even the person with the wall cut off. I saw a rain of blood in the dense dust and smoke, and Wang Laosan's body was separated and buried in the ruins.
Zhao Siyi sat down on the ground and kept kowtowing to Cheng Liping and begging for mercy. Ma Liu was still competing with Zhao Si at this time, kowtowing to the sky. Zhao Si saw that he couldn't win against Ma Liu, so he had an idea, grabbed the front, and revealed the conspiracy between Mr. Chen and Wang Laosan.
At this time, Cheng Liping didn't care about Mr. Chen, and when he saw that his parents were fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the demolished houses again, a wave of anger was uncontrollable, and it rushed to my heart again. Dad sighed, and just wanted to say something, when he suddenly ran quickly towards Uncle Cheng's house. Only then did Cheng Liping realize that Uncle Cheng's house had also been razed to the ground by an excavator.
Old Uncle Cheng was lying next to the gate, his face was pale, and he looked at his former home with a pair of godless eyes. A few nitroglycerin tablets fell at Uncle Cheng's feet, and Aunt Cheng lay on top of him, crying hoarsely. Not far away, the excavator was still roaring.
