Chapter Eighty-Four: Little Hinoki Creek Village (2)

The slide lantern is shown at the entrance of the village, and this lively occasion is naturally indispensable to the two lepers. xstxt.org Erlezi is a Hakka person, no old or young, and he is the only one in the family. He was idle all day long, relying on the pit to be abducted, and his small life was still very nourishing.

When the second leper came, there were already a lot of people sitting in the field, and he saw that the middle passage was quite wide, so he found a place to sit down next to the south of the aisle.

Looking at a white flame shining in the glass, the second leper said in his heart, this glass stick is really bright, just use it to bet on the card.

The mercury lamp was on for a long time, and the propaganda team in front of me was still fiddling with the slide projection machine. The second leper had a little itchy hand, he squinted and looked over, and Chen Liu was sitting on the opposite side of the aisle.

"Chen Liu, do you have the guts to take a gamble?"

Chen Liu's ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian, and he is also a good gambler. He gambled a lot, and he was already poor, and he barely survived by doing odd jobs outside the home.

"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom!"

Chen Liu is a bachelor, and he doesn't care at all.

The second leper opened the package he was carrying and spread it out in the aisle, "Come on!" The cards are dealt! Who will bet! ”

There was an uproar, and Huang Churi, Zhang Alan and other gamblers all gathered around. A group of people took advantage of the dazzling mercury light to set up a card stand in the aisle in the center of the venue.

Seeing the two lepers beckoning people to gather to gamble, Zhang Hongtou, who was responsible for maintaining order, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

The two lepers salivate their faces, just play two, as long as the slides start to show, this side will immediately end the gambling stall.

Zhang Hongtou was a little embarrassed, and he turned his head to look at the comrades in the working group.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and Ping Chongsheng saw that the group of people in the working group were very interested in the slide projector, so he used this time to teach Jiao Changfa and others how to place slides in the slide projector, how to debug, and so on.

Jiao Changfa and the others were in high spirits to learn to operate the slide projector, and they didn't expect that someone behind them was preparing to open a gambling stall.

"Zhang Hongtou, your joint defense team is also the former Xiangyong, a fellow villager and a fellow clan, why are you so serious!"

As soon as a few people around said this, Zhang Hongtou couldn't hold back his face, "Okay, you speak softly, don't alarm the lord of the county government." ”

After a few handfuls, Chen Liu's face was covered with sweat, he touched it in his arms for a long time, and found a piece of silver, "Qinglong one!" ”

"Four hundred!"

……

"Ahem~~Open~~!" The second leper opened the lid of the box and sang, "Open a big heavenly gate~~!" Chen Liu, you have brought your silver dollar~~! ”

"Sai Linmu, lost again!" Chen Liu took a hard sip.

The second leper took the silver dollar and looked at the dazzling light, and the color of the silver was black, and the color seemed to be wrong. He blew lightly and put it to his ear to listen, and his voice was muffled.

The second leper immediately became angry, "Chen Liu, what kind of silver dollar are you, give me another one." ”

"Why don't you talk when I bet!"

Chen Liu, who lost the bet, looked dead, and saw that the second leper was still chirping, he immediately choked, "The silver of the money is so low, you have the ability to find a devil to reason!" ”

The second leper didn't talk nonsense, he picked up his fist and smashed it.

Well done! Chen Liuzheng was holding back the fire in his belly, he turned sideways, and reached out to firmly grasp the fist of the second leper.

The two wrestled like this, and the Hakka people and Quanzhou people on both sides immediately coaxed.

"Come on! Cantonese bullied us Quanzhou people. ”

"Hold your mother! Fu Lao dared to bully our Hakka people, everyone together. ”

In front of the venue, Jiao Changfa and several people from the working group were studying around the slide projector, and suddenly there was a commotion behind them.

Jiao Changfa turned his head to see that there was a group fight behind the field, and then looked at his joint defense team, all of them were standing stupidly around the field, and they didn't know to step forward to stop them.

These dry eaters!

Jiao Changfa hurriedly grabbed the microphone and shouted, asking everyone to sit down and maintain restraint. The members of the working group shouted three times in Hokkien and Hakka.

Where are those brave and ruthless people willing to listen, the weapon fight has developed from the middle to the whole field.

Ping Shigesheng of the propaganda team was born in a Japanese samurai family, and he was in a hurry, so he exploded all of a sudden, took out a large revolver for self-defense, and shot it into the sky.

"Bang~!" Suddenly, the crowd fighting on the field was startled, and the movements of their hands and feet slowed down.

"Bang~! Bang~! Jiao Changfa fired two more shots, and then shouted, "Sit down, sit down!" The person standing is a Manchu Tartar, and he deserves to be killed! ”

The audience also resounded Hokkien dialect and Hakka dialect, "If you don't sit down, you are a traitor, and you deserve to die!" ”

Three gunshots rang out, calming down the brawling crowd. Listening to the shouts of the working group, all the people on the field, including the joint defense team members on the sidelines, all squatted down one by one.

After checking, fortunately, the brawl was quelled in time, only a few people scratched their skin and sprained their muscles, and nothing else was serious.

Jiao Changfa is very angry, even if he usually fights and brawls, tonight this is a slap in the face in front of the propaganda team, if he doesn't pursue it, let it go, and more evil things will happen in the future.

Village Chief Zhuang Changliu and Deputy Village Chief Liu Minyi were called to the front, with long hair and a tiger face, "What's going on with you Fujian and Guangdong tribes?!" Fighting every day, repeatedly refusing to change, do you really want to fight against the court and the heavenly soldiers! ”

"Lord Leader, the Zhuang people are not sensible, and they always like to make trouble, but fortunately, there is no big problem!" Zhuang Changliu and Liu Minyi accompanied twelve points of caution, saying that tonight's Fujian and Guangdong were just an accident, and they did not intend to fight against the government.

Some time ago, there were often conflicts between Fujian and Guangdong, and Zhuang Changliu and Liu Minyi both felt that fighting and fighting was not harmful to their own ethnic groups, and these two people were also intentionally or unintentionally instigated. But today is different, this kind of disturbance is equivalent to smashing the field of the working group, and they feel the seriousness of the matter.

The propaganda team Ping Chongsheng spoke with a little Japanese accent, "Two village chiefs, you Fujian and Guangdong clans will fight at every turn. In a small way, it is to disrupt the social order of Taoyuan County and affect the harmony and stability under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and in a large way, it is a crime that seriously undermines the unity of the Chinese nation, and the crime is the same. ”

Ping Chongsheng was so frightened that Zhuang Changliu and Liu Minyi almost sat on the ground.

After some inquiry, the two culprits of the fight, Erlezi and Chen Liu, as well as more than a dozen people who participated in the gambling and fighting, were all pulled to the front.

The second leper hugged his grievances repeatedly, saying that the matter was completely provoked by Chen Liu, and if Chen Liu didn't use the wrong Fanyin, it would be too peaceful at all.

Chen Liu also argued in a loud voice, when he bet, the two lepers let it go, and after the gamble was over, he would investigate the quality of the silver two, which was completely nothing.

Jiao Changfa had a tiger face, "Two village chiefs, what do you think should be done?" ”

Liu Minyi said tentatively, "The culprit tonight is the second leper, and the rest should be accomplices." ”

"A slap can't be slapped, and Chen Liu's responsibility is indispensable." For Zhuang Changliu, no matter how bad the second leper is, he is also his own person, if you want to help the second leper reduce his responsibility, then make more offenders.

According to Jiao Changfa's thoughts, he simply sent all the more than ten people to the county office. But there are only more than 200 people in this small Huixi Village, so it is really not appropriate to expand it too much.

Under Ping Chongsheng's point, Jiao Changfa behaved very decisively, "The second leper opened a gambling game at the screening site, which is a serious act of sabotaging the Chinese revolution." He was also the first to beat people, obviously deliberately creating a counter-revolutionary incident, which was a counter-revolutionary sabotage act of the Communists, and he was sent to the Taoyuan County Yafa distribution.

Chen Liu actively responded to the gambling situation, took the initiative to provoke incidents and participated in fights, and was one of the main perpetrators of counterrevolutionary activities, and was sent to Taoyuan County Yafa for distribution.

The rest of the people involved in gambling and fighting are accomplices to counterrevolutionary sabotage activities, and they will be given a stern warning this time, and if they commit it again next time, the crime will be increased by one degree. ”

After Jiao Changfa was announced, Zhang Hongtou immediately came up with several joint defense teams to tie up Erlezi and Chen Liu.

Chen Liuxin was not convinced, struggled desperately, was gagged, tied so strongly, and couldn't move.

"Lighter, lighter!" The second leper didn't dare to struggle, and begged for mercy repeatedly.

As soon as Zhang Hong's heart softened, the strength in his hand relaxed.

Seeing that the second leper and Chen Liu were locked up in a vacant small room in the public office, Zhuang Changliu sighed lightly, and finally did not suffer a loss.

Although Liu Minyi was a little unconvinced, Jiao Changfa's verdict was well-founded and he had a sharp weapon in his hand, so he could only accept the facts.

Zhuang Changliu and Liu Minyi, in front of the working group and all the people present, severely reprimanded the clansmen who participated in the gambling brawl, and then took them back as guarantees.

When things finally calmed down, Ping Shigemori breathed a sigh of relief, and he pressed the switch of the slide projector, and the mercury lamp in the machine turned on, and a strong beam of light shone on the screen.

A beautiful color picture of the construction of the new countryside appeared on the screen, with seven large characters on it.

Those who are literate read it, "Datongism New Farm".

The whole venue suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Abing looked at the pictures on the screen, and explained in Hokkien dialect and Hakka dialect respectively, "Look, this is the beautiful farmhouse of the new farm of Datongism in the Ming Dynasty, the big iron ox that can cultivate 100 acres of farmland, and the rice ...... that can yield 1,000 catties per mu."

On the picture, the crops in the fields are heavy and growing happily; The cows, horses, pigs and sheep in the livestock pen are each fat and strong, and the environment in the village is clean and tidy, with green trees everywhere.

The villagers' houses are all upstairs and downstairs in the shape of villas, and the dining table is filled with rice steamed buns, three dishes and one soup, as well as glittering braised pork, and the children can also eat eggs and drink soy milk in the village primary school. Everyone was dressed in brand new thick clothes.

On the venue, the common people watched the Western scenery with wide eyes, and they were completely stunned by Zhang Abing's explanation of sound and shadow.

The public office was on the edge of the field, and the two lepers and Chen Liu were locked in the utility room inside. The slides outside were wonderful, but Chen Liu was tied up and curled up on the ground, unable to pay attention to them.

The second leper could swing freely in the room, but he was in no mood to care about the slide lights outside. As soon as he thought that he would be sent to the county government tomorrow, and that he would be the same as those green battalion soldiers, it would be a long-term hard labor, and the second leper shuddered, how could he escape tonight.

The rope was tied a little loosely, and the strength of the second leper was not small, he struggled and struggled, and broke free of the rope in a few clicks.

There were strong walls all around, and there were no windows, and the second leper came to the door in the dark, and he pulled it gently, and the door was locked from the outside.

The second leper was a little anxious, and he walked around the dark room twice, trying to find another way.

Although the room was very dark, the silhouette of Chen Liu, who was lying on the ground, was faintly visible, and the second leper suddenly moved in his heart.
