Chapter Twenty-Eight: Asking the Heavens
After paving so much, and even taking out Yan Yu's story to sensationalize, Zhang Gulin finally threw out the final conclusion.
He supports Yan Yu and demolishes the idol!
These villagers knew everything about Yan Yu, but they never thought to delve into the meaning behind it.
Perhaps in their eyes, Yan Yu was already one of them, but they ignored that Yan Yu was just a foreign teacher.
Yan Yu's identity, his knowledge, his age, his appearance, so everything seems to be incompatible with this place.
But his cultivation and his personality quickly integrated into this place, as if he was a person here in his bones, but he just left home at a young age.
Zhang Gulin is a person who is not good at words, he is a scientific worker, in the eyes of others, he is an authority, and he is a "emotionless" judge.
The story that can be told from his mouth is particularly touching.
Guan Rui, like him, is a person who focuses on the professional field, and he is also "iron-faced and ruthless", but his gaze at Yan Yu at this time has softened a lot.
But no matter how touching the story is, it has been shattered by the words "tear down the statue"!
"No! The idol cannot be dismantled! It's impossible to dig up here! Qin Dayou seemed to have been trampled on his bottom line.
He can pretend to be generous, he can not blame the past, but if he wants to tear down the statue and dig up the Dragon King Temple, this is absolutely impossible!
"Professor Zhang, I will also dig out my heart with you and tell you the truth."
Qin Dayou walked forward and looked at Zhang Gulin: "We are about the same age, let me ask you a word." ”
"You ask."
"You're a scientist, according to you, this place is not suitable for survival at all, and if you can't find a water source, the whole village will die of thirst, right?"
"If the drought doesn't ease, that's true, and I've surveyed the average precipitation here ......."
Before Zhang Gulin could finish speaking, Qin Dayou interrupted him.
"Professor Zhang, our ancestors have lived in this place for generations, and Qinjiaao not only has the Dragon King Temple, but also the tombs of our ancestors and ancestors, and the oldest tombstone in it can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty."
"In other words, our village, which has lasted from the Tang Dynasty to the present day, would have been extinct long ago if it was really uninhabitable!"
"This ......"
"Professor Zhang, drought is a test for us by Lord Long, not only here but also in other places, isn't there also floods in the rich southeast?"
"The will of the gods is not something that mortals can speculate about, he will send disasters, that is, how difficult it is for us to prosper the country, only in this way can people become more powerful, smooth sailing, and can only make people sink."
"You are engaged in science, you don't understand this, and we don't blame you, after all, everyone has their own opinions, but we respect you for engaging in science, and please respect us and worship our ancestors!"
Zhang Gulin didn't expect that an old man from the countryside, looking an old-fashioned old feudal who was even more old-fashioned than him, could say such words with depth of thought and even philosophical thinking!
But Zhang Gulin is also a person who fights to the death, and said to Qin Dayou: "You are not worshipping ancestors, but empty gods, gods are not people, and he has no heirs." ”
Qin Dayou shook his head: "You're not right, I didn't say that our old Qin family is the descendant of the Dragon Lord, but our ancestors are the most staunch admirers and guardians of the Dragon Lord, and they have been for thousands of years!" ”
Meng Jiefang was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, if you continue like this, it will be a debate between theism and atheism, and there will be no result until you die." ”
The two finally stopped.
Meng Jiefang looked around for a while before he said "conclusively": "Is it feudal superstition to worship the Dragon King?" Be. ”
"Is ancestor worship a feudal superstition? I'm not sure either. ”
"So shouldn't we put this problem aside and start with people?"
"Lao Qin, I only want to ask you one question, if the child is really hidden inside, do you agree to dismantle it?"
"The kid won't be in there!"
"Maybe not, but if the child is in it and you don't agree to dig it, is it the child you killed?" Meng Jiefang is also a professional, but he will not deal with everything professionally like Guan Rui, because he knows that in many cases, it is easier for people to solve some small disputes.
This is the experience he has accumulated over many years of working at the grassroots level, after all, many disputes have not yet risen to the professional level.
Qin Dayou was also stumped by this question.
His face was gloomy, and Lin Xiaoyu also cast a pleading look.
Everyone waited for his answer, and he finally raised his head, shook his head quite indifferently and said: "The child will not be inside, if it is really inside, it is not me who killed the child, but Zhao Jianghai who took the child, I have a clear conscience!" ”
"What a clear conscience!" This time, even Guan Rui was indignant!
Meng Jiefang glared at Guan Rui, who shut up angrily.
Looking at Qin Dayou, Meng Jiefang was also a little helpless: "Old Qin, it's a matter of human life...... Besides, this thing can be rebuilt......"
The hard ones can't work, and Meng Jiefang can only come to the soft ones.
But Qin Dayou still shook his head: "Captain Meng, we can continue from the Tang Dynasty to the present, relying on the Dragon Lord to give us food, the Dragon Lord will protect us, if we tear down the statue and dig the temple, it will be self-destruction!" ”
Meng Jiefang frowned: "Old Qin, if you don't cooperate, we can only ...... After all, it's the lives of two children......"
Qin Dayou snorted coldly, didn't look at Meng Jiefang, and asked loudly to the villagers behind him: "This is built by our ancestors brick by brick, they want to demolish the Dragon King Temple, do you agree!" ”
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
Most of the villagers in the entire hall were villagers, and they spoke in unison, which made the entire hall tremble, and Meng Jiefang and others also felt very shocked.
No matter how ignorant the feudal ideology is, when he gathers it, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated, and he finally realizes how necessary and urgent it is to advocate against feudal superstition!
"Old Qin!" Meng Jiefang also had a headache when Xiucai encountered a soldier, but Qin Dayou had a face that would no longer back down.
At this moment, Yan Yu actually laughed!
His laughter grew louder and louder, and then the shouting of the people in unison stopped.
"Lord Dragon, Lord Dragon, hahaha!"
Such an irreverent act also made Qin Dayou and the others feel very uncomfortable.
Yan Yu stopped, and asked Qin Dayou: "The Dragon Lord is the one who protects one side, if he knows that he can save the lives of the two children, he should also agree, right?" ”
"If you don't even protect your two children, why do you think the Dragon Lord will protect you?"
"This ......"
Yan Yu continued to shout loudly to those villagers: "Today is Lin Xiaoyu's child, if you don't stand up, if it is your child's turn tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, will you still scream so loudly!" ”
Some people are indignant, and some people bow their heads.
Qin Dayou was in front of Yan Yu and yelled at him: "The Dragon Lord is to protect the territory and the people, and he is Pudu Cangsheng, how can you know what he means!" ”
Yan Yu was also angry, pointed at Meng Jiefang and Guan Rui Wang Guoqing, and shouted to everyone: "It is these comrades from the police station who protect the territory and the people, and these uncles and brothers behind you!" They are the ones who are looking for the child, not the dragon lord! ”
"All I see is that the Dragon Lord is hindering us from finding the child and saving the child!"
Yan Yu's words made everyone's hearts excited!
"You bastard! The meaning of the Dragon King, this is the meaning of the Dragon King, it is the will of heaven, you don't know! Qin Dayou was so angry that he was incoherent, and he was about to jump to his feet.
Yan Yu was also angry: "Then let me ask him!" See if he is willing to save the child! ”
As soon as the words fell, Yan Yu rushed to the statue quickly, and actually hit his head on the statue!
"Would you like to save the child?"
His head was slammed against the idol, like an angry and pious saint, like a kowtow, like an accusation!
His hands were cuffed, and he couldn't beat it, but he could only hit it with his head!
"Would you like it?"
"Boom!"
"Would you like it?"
"Boom!"
"Would you like it?"
"Boom!"
This angry but resolute man seemed to be venting the anger in his heart.
But the idol was cold, indifferent to the world, as if nothing could touch his transcendent realm.
Lin Xiaoyu covered his mouth tightly, and big tears rolled down his eyes.
Zhang Gulin was heartbroken, looking at the scene in front of him, the old professor couldn't help but burst into tears.
Meng Jiefang clenched his teeth, Guan Rui clenched his fists, and Wang Guoqing pursed his lips tightly, because he saw that Yan Yu's forehead was already bleeding, and the blood was splashed on the statue!
This is not a bygone era, and although this backward place is closed to news, the world outside is already very exciting.
They can receive information from the outside world and know that the world is not supposed to be like this, but this is still happening here!
No one made any sound, only a stern roar of questioning and the sound of his head hitting the idol!
They knew that Yan Yu was a stubborn person, otherwise he would not be looking for water day and night, but they never thought that Yan Yu would be so resolute!
Lin Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and left all her weakness, she picked up the hammer on the ground, rushed up suddenly, used all her strength, and smashed it down towards the statue!
"Click!"
"Click!"
The idol, which she had already knocked off, finally cracked completely, and the crack stretched up like a spider's web.
The weight of the idol set off a chain reaction, and cracks soon crept all over the idol!
Lin Xiaoyu couldn't care about this anymore, so he hugged Yan Yu, who was in a state of madness, and cried loudly.
Even Qin Dayou, who was as hard as iron, was shocked by Yan Yu's actions, and he wanted to step forward to stop him, but at that moment, when he saw Yan Yu's blood splattered out.
He seemed to see the aura on Yan Yu's body, which was even more dazzling than the indifferent Dragon King!
Until Lin Xiaoyu stopped crying, until Yan Yu's body fell soft, everyone was still quiet and deadly.
The idol still ignored all this, and his body was torn apart, but it was as if his soul had been released.
The wind blew, scraping through the cracks, and a strange whining sound gradually filled the entire hall, like crying.
Like the anger of the dragon lord, like, crying.
