Chapter 152: Accidents and Disputes

Once upon a time, Old River Fort was just a peaceful village.

Although the uncles and brothers in the village will also make noise and quarrel because of some trivial things, and even fight, showing the fierce folk customs of the northwest, they can also reconcile after a fight, and after a few days of drinking, they can fight again because of who glanced at whose daughter-in-law more.

Yan Yu has been teaching here for more than two years, and everyone is so familiar with him that he is no longer familiar with him.

They will have respect for Yan Yu, after all, Yan Yu is a gentleman.

But this kind of respect is only superficial, no matter how kind everyone is to him, Yan Yu has a feeling after all that he will never be able to integrate into this collective.

They are like a self-contained "peach blossom paradise", monolithic, unwilling to accept any outsiders to join.

Even the question of the marriage of the young people in the village must be unanimously agreed by the elders, who do not have enough to live, but like some royal families, who are eager to keep their blood pure.

Yan Yu is also secretly investigating the cause of his mother's death back then, and why his father disappeared in Laohebao and never lived again.

But for more than two years, he had no clue.

This is partly because he is worried that his secret will be exposed, but more because the villagers are tight-lipped and always vigilant enough against him, a man with a foreign surname.

Although Lin Xiaoyu has been recognized, she is just a woman who married in and a widow, and her husband Zhao Jianghai is also a foreign surname, and others guard against her everywhere, so it is not surprising that she does not know.

The village remained peaceful, as if the disturbances outside had nothing to do with them.

In the beginning, they even rejected bicycles, and they wanted to continue the old way of life in their bones.

This kind of thinking is very bad in Yan Yu's opinion, even though the county often sends people down to do ideological work, but the villagers of Laohebao are unmoved.

The disappearance of the big and small pairs is like casting a *** in this peaceful small village, and large and small murders have followed one after another, and it is still impossible to calm down today.

And the ancestral grave land that the villagers swore to defend to the death also experienced these turmoil, and was even almost burned to the wasteland.

Now, thanks to an artificial rainfall, the mountain has finally collapsed, burying the place they swore to defend.

The villagers were constantly sent back, and Yan Yu, who was mixed in the rescue team, witnessed the scene that moved him and even shocked his heart.

They let go of their usual grievances and helped each other, regardless of each other, fully embodying the clan friendship that blood is thicker than water.

But at the same time, they have shown the world their determination to defend their traditions.

Most of the men suffered injuries to their hands, but it was not an accident, as many of them had their fingernails peeled off.

This is because they dig with their bare hands, wanting to clear the buried area as quickly as possible!

The ancestors have been buried in the ground, even if the mountain collapses, it is still buried inside, but it is buried a little deeper.

If you can't fight it, you can erect a monument on the ruins to commemorate it, and it's over.

But they don't think so.

They felt that the mountain would suppress the souls of their ancestors, and could no longer shelter and guide them, as if they were resisting artificial rain, because the sound of artificial rain firing cannonballs seemed to awaken the souls of the dead underground.

Thought can lead the progress of the times, but it is also thought that imprisons the progress of the times.

Yan Yu suddenly felt that this kind of reluctance to move forward was like a black cloud in the sky, shrouded in a place, like a curse, more frightening than the murderer.

He originally wanted to investigate, but after seeing this scene of pain, he put it aside and devoted himself to the rescue.

The disaster made people more united, he ate and lived in the camp of the rescue team, everyone had no time to chat, he ate dry food when he was hungry, drank cold water when he was thirsty, and he couldn't hold it anymore so he slept on the ground for three or two hours.

Everyone was covered in mud and dust, and the dust masks were wiped indiscriminately, and although the helmets were full of water vapor and stuffy, no one took them off, because they had to keep themselves in the best condition in order to save more people.

After getting used to wearing it, the mask was like a part of the body, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, Yan Yu even forgot that he was still being hunted down.

At first, when he rescued the unconscious villagers, he would deliberately change his voice to call out to the sleepy, but at this time, he did not subconsciously hide his voice.

The rescue lasted a full forty-eight hours, and after the number of people was counted, it finally came to an end.

Because it is a landslide caused by artificial rainfall, strictly speaking, it is not a natural disaster but a "man-made disaster", and it is an operational accident.

Therefore, whether it is a county, a city or even a province, there are manpower, there are emergency teams to study the plan, play a guiding role, and there is also a strong implementation team.

Although many people were injured, thankfully, no one died in the accident, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

Before the rescue was over, there was a clash in the camp, which Yan Yu did not expect.

Because the friendship between each other and being brothers and sisters is too touching when we are rescued.

But now that the rescue has just ended, the conflict has begun, and Yan Yu's beautiful illusions about people have been extinguished in an instant.

Because he was in the camp of the rescue team, he was able to find out what was going on first.

Although the villagers of Laohepu were consulted in advance, they received a negative answer, and the villagers unanimously opposed artificial rainfall.

But the artificial rainfall operation has benefited more than a dozen villages in the surrounding area, large and small, not just for Laohebao.

Therefore, in the case of the minority obeying the majority, the plan of artificial rain still has to be carried out.

Although the principle of artificial rainfall is simple, it needs to be investigated and calculated, taking into account factors such as water vapor volume, and finally the location is selected in Laohebao.

It is not for nothing that Laohe Fort can be the center of the village, they have geographical advantages.

Even if they don't want to, the job plan must be carried out.

This creates disagreement.

The villagers of Laohebao, who were unwilling to compromise, were determined to benefit more people, and the contradictions between the two sides continued to intensify, and finally a stalemate was formed.

The reason why it caused so much damage was that the team wanted to take advantage of the night time to carry out the operation quietly.

But I didn't expect that the Laohebao side had been monitoring the movements of the team, and when they started to act, the villagers of Laohebao collectively obstructed, and some people even entered the col like Qin Dayou's old men, and wanted to use their bodies to block the footsteps of the team.

Unlike the previous fire, the artificially rained shells were fired into the sky and did not hurt the protesting villagers in the col.

So the team had little to do and started working.

Unexpectedly, the explosion of the shells caused a landslide by such a coincidence, and eventually the entire mountain collapsed.

At the moment, it was a "post-autumn reckoning", and the team believed that the people of Old River Fort should be responsible for their own safety, and that they would not be buried if they did not enter the col.

The villagers of Laohebao believe that the "culprit" of the accident is that the team ignored their opposition and forcibly carried out their work!

Because the land of the ancestral grave was buried, they could hardly describe the anger of the masses, and this anger had nowhere to vent but the task force as an outlet.

And the task force is indeed for the benefit of the people, which is a great thing, but it is the old Hebao feudal legacy of the ideology that is causing trouble, not to mention hindering the work, but now "the wicked sue first", which is a typical "Diao Min" behavior!

The rescue teams of all parties were non-stop, and although they counted the number of people, they did not dare to ensure that no one else entered the area, so they were still cleaning up and investigating.

However, in the end, the team members got the opportunity to take a turn to rest, Yan Yu is a person from the health center, and he has a better understanding of the local situation, so the rotation rest is at the end.

The rescue team is only responsible for on-site rescue, and is not interested in joining the dispute between the two sides, and even has some intention of avoiding it.

With the passage of time, although the leading group also joined the mediation and mediation, the contradictions and conflicts between the two sides became more and more intense.

In the end, the people of Old River Fort "poured out" to prevent anyone from entering the scene again, and the work of the rescue team came to an end temporarily.

Although feudal superstition is not stressed, the spiritual life of the common people also needs to be respected.

The rescue team stopped, but the work was not over, and could only wait for the coordination of all parties.

Yan Yu is also afraid of being idle, because after being idle, he has to take off his dust mask and communicate with people, which will undoubtedly become his annoyance.

Follow Dean Qi back, this is the best way.

But Yan Yu came over this time, not just to rescue, he also wanted to explore the cause of the landslide, and also wanted to know if Zhao Tongyi and others did it on purpose, whether it was a coincidence, and whether there was a conspiracy behind it.

If you just walk away in disgrace, you won't find anything.

In addition, the rescue team only suspended its work, not finished its work, because the organization was strictly disciplined, and the members of the rescue team could not leave the station.

After thinking about it, Yan Yu had no choice but to lie to the captain, saying that his family was nearby and sneaked out.

At this juncture, he must go in to take a look and check, otherwise everything will settle, and it will be difficult to have such an opportunity.

The old river fort had already cordoned off the area, and the men acted spontaneously, divided into several groups, and even stood guard and patrolled, which can be described as "strictly guarded".

It's also thanks to Yan Yu's familiarity with the terrain, after all, he's been here a few times, and he knows the situation in the inner area better than them.

Even so, the landslide caused the burial was more serious than expected.

Yan Yu walked around the periphery a few times, because he wanted to avoid the villagers as much as possible, so he couldn't get too close, and he couldn't find his way in for a while, and he was a little anxious.

However, at this moment, a team with bright lights turned on and came this way!

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Yan Yu vaguely heard the human voice, hid behind the bushes on the side of the road, and took advantage of them passing by, squinted his eyes slightly and looked hard, wasn't it Zhao Tongyi who hit the head!
