Chapter 142: The Village Chief's Secret
So, the village chief specially asked for leave that day, but he kept hiding his identity and wandering around the construction site, keeping his eyes on those guys who disappeared until night. When I heard this, the village chief, you felt like a detective, and the village chief laughed when he heard it.
said that he actually thought so himself, but there was no way, not that he was responsible, but because among that small group of people, there were one or two young people from Nanhe Village, so he had to be concerned, after all, they were all fellow villagers, and they couldn't watch him fall.
The chief's follow-up had some effect, and after evening the chief followed one of the fellows closely, and found him sneaking through the streets and alleys, and then came under a bridge where a long time had been abandoned, where many people gathered.
Many of the workers on the construction site who were lazy during the day and began to play at night were discovered by the village chief at that time. When the chief of the village saw that they were gathered here, and that everyone was looking terrible, he felt bad in his heart, so he hid himself and observed.
After a short time, the village chief noticed that these guys all had the same characteristics - speechless, big and small, old and young, fat and thin, all of them gradually looked anxious and impatient as time passed.
Even some of the guys were already screaming, scratching their arms frantically, making bloody marks without realizing it. When he recalled this, the village chief still looked a little apprehensive.
He said that when he first saw it, he thought he had seen a group of crazy people, because not only their faces, but also their expressions looked quite abnormal. Lang Jin and I nodded silently, feeling that we could understand the village chief's mood at that time.
After the village chief had been in hiding for a while, he noticed that several men were approaching them from the slope with boxes. And this group of people who gathered under the bridge at the beginning, after seeing the person with the black box, it was like seeing their own father.
One by one, they pounced frantically, and the group of guys with black boxes didn't seem to have any special reaction, and their faces were full of indifference, as if they were used to seeing this kind of scene.
After that, this group of people, as if they had been hypnotized, followed the group of people with black boxes, and the village chief was also a little scared, but he still followed in order to explore the truth. Eventually, he followed the group to a ruined house.
As soon as they entered the house, the incandescent lights were lit, and the village chief made a detour to the back of the house to peek in—and found that the group was one by one, all lying on the floor, or leaning against the corner, and the room was filled with smoke, and their eyes were foggy.
The village chief understood at first glance what they were doing, it was smoking a big cigarette! The previous village chief didn't know about this, but after coming to this big city, what he saw and came into contact with was different from when he was in his hometown.
But this is also the first time that the village chief has seen someone smoking a big cigarette with his own eyes, and the impact is needless to say. He had heard that smoking big cigarettes could make people addicted and make people happy like gods, and of course he had also heard that smoking big cigarettes would directly make a person completely wasted.
So when the village chief saw that the two fellow villagers of Nanhe Village looked confused, holding a big cigarette in their hands, leaning near the cigarette lamp and smoking a big cigarette, the anger in his heart soared, and he wanted to go in and punch him twice.
But in the end, the village chief held back, after all, many of these people were workers. There are also rules on the construction site, and if you want to help each other at work, you must maintain a good relationship in private.
After all, this is people's own choice, and he is willful, even if it is for their good, he will definitely let these people have opinions about him. So the village chief chose to remain silent when he found out about the shocking fact that more than a dozen people gathered to smoke a big cigarette.
Because, he is the team leader trusted by the contractor, and the most important thing about the village chief is that the workers under him get along very peacefully, unlike other teams that will cause him a lot of chaos in the future.
At that time, the contractor of a construction site was almost a god-like existence, and whether he could get paid on time depended on the conscience of the contractor. The village chief said that this might not be possible in the current era, but it was like that at the time.
At that time, everyone, including the village chief, was motivated to work purely for wages, so once they became impulsive here, the relationship with some of the workers was stiffened, and they did not cooperate in their work, and the efficiency was bound to decrease.
And the village chief has also heard that people who are addicted to big cigarettes can't be persuaded to come back at all, but it's just a waste of effort. If there is a mess on the construction site, and he and the team make the contractor hold a grudge, he will not be able to get the salary on time, and everything will be over at that time.
The people below don't listen to themselves, the people above don't care about themselves, and the village chief himself doesn't want to face that kind of embarrassing situation. And when he went back in frustration that day, the village chief said that he never thought that he would one day be contaminated with this thing.
“…… Village Chief, have you also sucked this thing for a while? I said with some dumbfounded. The village chief lowered his eyes, sipped a little wine, just smiled, did not deny it, just said that I would know if I continued to listen.
It happened just a few months after he realized he had no hope of coming out at all. At this time, the village chief had been in the city for four years, and he was like an iron rooster saving money, but the reason why he was able to do this kind of thing was because of arrogance.
He didn't want to accept the cruel reality in front of him, he wanted to make a career in the big city, but he couldn't find any channels without culture.
Moreover, in the end, the money he saved was a lot of money in his own eyes, but in the eyes of those city locals, it was not money at all. It is simply not enough to use this money to make a decent investment or business, and to do those small businesses that are unreliable at the first hearing, and worry that your savings for many years will be directly wasted.
I work more than ten hours a day, and after high-intensity physical labor, I can hardly hold anything else in my head, I just want to go to bed quickly. And in the constant repetition of this reality, in the end, the pressure that had been accumulating in the village chief's heart exploded.
He didn't want to smoke a big cigarette, but followed the group of workers who went to Fengyue Place after work, wanting to go there and have a good time. He was quite distressed when he spent money at the beginning, but in his hometown, where had he ever seen a woman dressed so exquisitely, with such white and tender skin, and such a soft and scented body?
Soon, surrounded by these tenderness and sweetness, the village chief drank cup after cup, and gradually began to lose his mind, and all the negative emotions such as grievances, anger, unwillingness, and sadness accumulated in his heart broke out - he directly spent all his savings for the month in one night.
After returning home, the village chief felt distressed for a long time, and even regretted it very much. At that time, he felt that he had done something unforgivable stupid, and it was one thing to spend all his savings for a month, but on the other hand, he was filled with guilt when he remembered what he had done last night.
Because, his actions are tantamount to a complete betrayal of his wife and family. Something that shouldn't have happened to him and the fair-skinned and beautiful woman who knew how to hurt people. And if his wife knew about this, the family would definitely be ruined.
At that time, the village chief swore a poisonous oath and decided never to do such an irrational thing again, and at that time, he said that he was convinced that he would not go again. However, he still seems to take the "inertia" in human nature too lightly.
Leaving Gentle Township, the feeling of working hard during the day against the high temperature and scorching sun that distorted the space seemed to evaporate the guilt in the village chief's body. When the evening was exhausted, he remembered again how he had felt that night.
When he returned to his residence, he was surrounded by only a group of workers who smelled of sweat, and his bed was hard, and he used to think that he could sleep with a few paper shells and a thin dirty quilt, but now the village chief has tasted the softness of Simmons mattresses.
The thought of someone sleeping on that soft mattress every night, holding a white and tender woman, made him reluctant in his heart, and thus thought of his own hopeless situation with no possibility of success, and he became almost irrational.
And after enduring it again and again, the village chief finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to the Fengyue place again. And this time he is familiar with the road, and with the experience of the last time, he plays more unscrupulously.
Even after arriving in this kind of place, the village chief said that his money feeling was abnormal, and he didn't feel expensive to spend a month's savings to buy a bottle of red wine. At that time, because he was desperately saving money, his savings were high among the workers in the same period.
The happy night passed, and the desperate and painful day came again. The village chief began to go to that kind of place every night to release his stress, otherwise he would feel too miserable to live.
And when he was addicted to the Fengyue place and couldn't extricate himself, the village chief happened to meet a woman who looked sick one day. When he said this, the village chief sighed deeply and showed a complicated wry smile.
He said that because he had been there many times at that time, he also had women he was familiar with in that store, but the women who happened to be familiar with the village chief that day were either asked to leave in advance by other customers or did not go to work.
And the business of that shop was also very good at that time, and there was only such a woman left, so the village chief, who had become more visionary, although he was not satisfied with this woman, still ordered her, and was ready to spend it with her tonight.
However, at that time, the village chief never imagined that his behavior would become a huge turning point in his life. The village chief didn't drink very happily that day, and in the old days he liked to drink and laugh with those beautiful, plump women in his arms.
But this time he drank with this emaciated, sickly woman whose face was so pale as a dead man, that of course the village chief would not be happy, so he sat alone and drank sullenly. And just when he almost regretted ordering this woman, the other party made a suggestion.
She said that she knew that she looked like this, and that few guests would like her, so as to compensate, she was willing to offer the village chief a new way to play. At that time, the village chief was also bored, so she asked her to show her hand, and the woman said to let him go with her, so the village chief got up.
Leaving the shop, the woman took the village chief to a hotel.
