Chapter 10: The Troubled Boy
Looking at Lin Xuan's emotional turmoil as if he had changed as a person, Yang Zi remembered himself for no reason, he also came out of the countryside, and it took a lot of experience to get to where he is today.
I used to study angrily in order to get good grades. It was also in order to let his parents be respected in the village, and even more in order to support justice, that he resolutely chose the path of becoming a policeman.
At that time, it was really difficult to apply for the China Public Security University, and the political examination, physical examination, and results were ...... gritted his teeth and worked hard one level after another, and finally passed the test and got his wish.
When he was about to graduate, because he had to pass the civil service exam as a police officer, he fought for several months with the books of the civil service exam, and once again passed the test successfully, and then he was assigned to his current job and became an excellent criminal policeman.
Yang Zi knows that the psychology of a rural child who wants to make a difference and be recognized is more profound than many of his peers in the city. The difference between rural and urban areas first gives them an insurmountable obstacle at the starting line.
In particular, there are some rural children who are burdened with the expectations of their relatives and even many elders in the village, and they are under far more pressure than urban children.
If your academic performance is not good and you can't be assigned a good position in college, not to mention that you will be disappointed, your parents who are far away from home will also feel disgraced.
Looking at the living conditions of the children in the city who are better than their own, they can go home to reunite with their parents every weekend, and take good food and drink with them when they return to school on Monday. I can only stay in school and think about my parents, and I have to save on food and clothing, because the conditions do not allow me to have the slightest extravagance and waste.
These are all contrasts, all kinds of invisible pressures, which make them breathless.
And all this, even the classmates who went to school with them, or the friends who formed deep friendships with them at school, could not understand the heaviness of their hearts.
Yang Zi didn't speak, he let out a long breath from his chest gently, and then patted Lin Xuan's shoulder comfortingly.
Maybe it's the police officer in front of you that makes people feel a sense of trust; Maybe it's too much pain deposited in my heart, but I don't dare to mention it to anyone because I am afraid of being ridiculed and hurting my poor self-esteem.
Facing a person like Yang Zi who was full of sunshine and exuded awe-inspiring righteousness, Lin Xuan suddenly felt that his heart was much more spacious, and he had a strong desire to confide in him.
He could no longer care about the taunts and injuries he had feared, and unconsciously told Yang Zi about his own family that he had never told anyone.
Lin Xuan's home is in a small mountain village in the farthest part of Lindong County, which is surrounded by green mountains all year round, and there is a lush forest as far as the eye can see.
As the saying goes, in addition to planting some rice and vegetables on the edge of the fields, more people in the village are making ideas about the mountains where they live.
The men in this area often carry hunting rifles and hunting dogs around the mountains, hunt birds and rabbits, and when they are lucky, they can also hit a badger or something, which not only improves their lives, but also goes to the market for a little money.
However, it is a pity that in recent years, people have taken too much from nature, which has greatly damaged the ecological environment, so that there has been no trace of larger beasts and animals for a long time.
The women went to the forest to dig up some wild medicinal herbs, and after the rain, they went to pick some mushrooms, which were dried and sold to the market, where they could be eaten by themselves and sold for money to supplement their families.
Most of the people in the village know that the forest left by their ancestors cannot be destroyed, and they have been consciously protecting and maintaining it, so the trees and vegetation are still the same as in the past, sheltering this quiet and peaceful village.
The adults work at sunrise and perch at sunset, the children laugh and laugh, and the life of the small village is also free.
Since Lin Xuan can remember, the ancestors of the Lin family have been responsible for guarding the collective forests, and this kind of responsibility is not so much a public arrangement, but rather a responsibility that the old man of the Lin family consciously and voluntarily assumed.
In the consciousness of the old man Lin, the rules laid down by the ancestors by word of mouth, the surrounding forest is the wealth of the village, and every descendant should be passed down from generation to generation intact, so that the ancestors have a place to live.
Because of his dedication and deep love for the mountains, when a few black sheep in the village took the lead in rounding up and cutting down the mountains and forests in order to make more money, he persuaded again and again, and even stopped him with persuasion.
His actions are regarded as stubborn by these people, and he doesn't know how to use it when he guards a mountain of gold, especially after coercion and inducement.
These people hated him because he got in the way of his own wealth, and he was seen as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.
In the face of his move to prevent too many people from going into the mountains to hunt and log, under the instigation of these poaching and cutting gangs led by the village security director, many villagers who did not know what was going on thought thought that the Lin family wanted to monopolize the benefits.
Under the instigation and drive of the security director, the people in the entire village hated and feared Mr. Lin, and united to isolate the Lin family.
Over time, the situation of Lin Xuan's parents in the village was very sad. But because they were infected by the old man, they could understand the hearts of the ancestors of the Lin family for the children and grandchildren of the younger generations, so they still supported the old man's actions without hesitation.
The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and the villagers driven by the interests are unwilling to stop like this, and finally on a dark and windy night, when they went up the mountain in the dark to cut down the forest trees and were once again angrily scolded by the old man Lin, I don't know who took the lead and raised the evil black hand to the old man......
The old man fell, and before he died, he was holding Lin Xuan's father's hand tightly, trembling and pointing to the mountain behind the house, staring at his eyes and trembling lips, but he couldn't even use the strength to speak, and he couldn't say a word.
Until Lin Xuan's father "pounced" and fell to the ground, swearing to the old man, promising that as long as he still had a breath, he would never let anyone invade the mountains and forests......
The old man let out a long breath, closed his weather-beaten eyes, and returned his life to the mountain he had loved all his life with the regret of being misunderstood by the villagers.
The tribulation of the Lin family has only begun, and it is far from over. Seeing that Old Man Lin was dead, those shameless people with a lust for profit sprouted again, thinking that no one could control them anymore.
Unexpectedly, in order to defend the forest that his father defended with his life, Lin Xuan's father had a more resolute attitude and more decisive actions, and he ruined the good deeds of poachers again and again.
The security director, who hated the Lin family so much, knew that Lin Xuan's father was strong and couldn't come hard, so he turned his revenge on Lin Xuan's five-year-old sister.
At his behest, those who followed him into their misdeeds encouraged the ignorant children of the village to take his sister again and again into the forest and throw her there, or to the edge of a trap set up for hunting.
Fortunately, the big dog Ah Huang raised by Mr. Lin before his death was loyal to his master. Seeing that the sister of the Lin family was taken away, he cleverly followed every time, and finally brought his sister home safe and sound.
It's a pity that the most terrifying thing in this world is not ghosts and gods, but people's hearts.
Seeing that Ah Huang was so protective of his master, the sister of the Lin family was able to save the day with its help every time, and the annoyed and angry security director actually had the idea of getting rid of it first and then dealing with the Lin family.
Poor Ah Huang was actually taken as a prey, hiding in the shadows and hitting its head with a shotgun loaded with iron sand.
Ah Huang's corpse was thrown at the gate of the Lin family in a blur of flesh and blood, looking at the angry appearance of the Lin family after discovering the corpse, the director of security also led a small group of people to fan the yin wind and light the ghost fire, and said cool words while watching the excitement.
They even spread rumors in secret, saying that the Lin family wanted to monopolize the mountains and forests, which had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the mountain gods, and if the Lin family did not move out, it would bring greater disasters to the villagers.
They slandered that Old Man Lin's death was that he was punished for stealing wood, and Ah Huang was a freak from the mountains that the Lin family had gotten, and that he was beaten to death to eliminate harm for the people.
For a while, people were panicked, and the villagers said everything, and the saliva was about to drown the Lin family. In the face of these rumors, Father Lin and Mother Lin were relatively silent except for their four eyes, but they did not flinch at all......
Speaking of this, Lin Xuan let out a long sigh, and the painful expression was clear on his face.
He and Yang Zi walked and chatted, and unconsciously came to the bench in front of a small fountain near the school's boys' dormitory.
Yang Zi knew that he still had a lot to say, so he sat down first, and then patted the chair to let Lin Xuan sit down and speak slowly.
Lin Xuan glanced at him gratefully, and felt a little respect for this police officer in his heart. He felt that Yang Zi was not like the policemen he imagined, relying on a police uniform, showing his handcuffs at every turn; It's a cold look at everyone, and everyone feels like a criminal.
He sat obediently beside Yang Zi, his eyes looking at the rows of quiet dormitory buildings in front of him. After sorting out his thoughts, he once again told Yang Zi about the past that had been piled up in his heart for a long time, but he couldn't tell outsiders.
The Lin family's attitude of not being afraid of rape and willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the mountain disappointed the group. They acted as if nothing had happened on the surface, and even took the initiative to calm things down, taking the initiative to get close to Father Lin, pretending to comfort him, and behind their backs, they once again came up with a more ruthless plan.
In the eyes of the ruthless guy of the security director, the reason why the Lin family is still not enlightened is because their blood has not been enough.
To deal with this kind of family that does not see the coffin and does not shed tears, the death of an old guy and a wild dog is not enough to threaten them.
To completely scare them, you have to use more vicious methods. In this way, this hard-nosed person can see the situation clearly, who is the powerful character in this village who can make people tremble when they stomp their feet.
Soon, they once again targeted the Lin family and began a more vicious operation......
