Chapter 15: Old Xue
Zhou Dequan and Zhou Yuxia were caught off guard, and they were frightened, and the old king glanced at his son: "Look at your little bit of interest!" ”
Zhou Dequan looked suspicious: "Dad, why is this still flying, I haven't heard that the corpse can fly!" ”
"What a corpse! At that time, Lao Xue chased after him and fired several shots at the dead corpses in the sky, but it was dark and foggy, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, so he didn't dare to move forward after chasing a few steps! I've never seen this formation, and as soon as the gun goes off, I'm paralyzed! Xiao Kong was also frightened, and we were clamoring to go home first, and we would come out when it was dawn! ”
The next day, they got up early in the morning before all the villagers, searched in the direction where the corpse flew, and went all the way to Laogu Peak. By noon, there was still nothing, not even a single bloodstain was found, it seems that Lao Xue's shots were all empty!
In fact, even if you don't hit the air, what can you do, there may not be blood flowing out of the corpse, not to mention that the mountain is so big, it makes no sense for the corpse to fly in the sky, and you have to follow the road!
At that time, although the villagers of Dagu Village had settled here for more than 20 years, few people climbed Laogu Peak, and there was only a faint firewood road out of the village.
There was originally a group of lazy people in Dagu's village, and no one was willing to spend that effort to open the mountain and explore the road, and the firewood road was still left by the previous wave of villagers. Moreover, the strange phenomenon of Lao Gu absorbing clouds is not very pleasant, and the villagers who are new to this group are easy to be afraid of this, so it is rumored that Lao Gu Feng has goblin cultivation and so on, which has already been born at that time. Usually, the villagers cut grass and collect firewood, and slowly formed a taboo, and never crossed the halfway point of Laogu Peak!
They searched slowly all the way, it was already noon halfway up the mountain, and there was a dense forest belt of several hundred meters between the halfway up the mountain and the top of the mountain, and Zhou Shiliang said that he would not continue to go deeper!
Lao Xue was not a reckless person, and he knew that he couldn't do anything with the strength of three people, so he closed the team and went down the mountain. On the way down the mountain, Lao Xue unified his voice: No one is allowed to mention the matter of the flying corpse last night, otherwise it will be the current counter-revolutionary! Because this is a hostile activity of the agents of the Chiang gang to sabotage our socialist construction! At present, the spies have been wounded by our public security personnel and fled into the mountains and forests, and the PLA army is coming, and when the time comes, all the scumbags and hooligans of the remnants of the Jiang Gang's spies will be wiped out in one fell swoop!
The village was already talking about the gunfire last night, and after the meeting, Lao Xue arranged for Zhou Shiliang's grandfather to come forward to convene a meeting of all the villagers. At the meeting, the old man recounted the story of Lao Xue's three heroes chasing and killing the spies in the starry night, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and finally he shouted loudly: "The government has decided, from today we will start arresting spies!" Whoever flees again will have to explain to the government clearly, why are you running away at this juncture! ”
The masses were completely angry, the evil Su Xiu took advantage of the fire to rob and rob before it was over, and the dog spies actually came to make trouble, not even letting go of the dead, it was a loss of conscience! It is the enemy of the people! Zhou Shiliang jumped up and led everyone to shout all the slogans they could shout, and finally said: "Folks, from today onwards, let's organize to clear the wilderness!" Use the three-light policy to deal with dog spies! Waiting for reinforcements from the PLA forces! ”
Lao Xue had already written a letter and ordered Xiao Kong to immediately go down the mountain to rescue the soldiers. The villagers were worried about the despicable sneak attack of the spies on the road, and two young men offered to accompany Xiao Kong down the mountain! Under the eyes of all the villagers, the three disappeared at the bend of the mountain road!
Zhou Tuantou sighed: "At that time, a group of old ladies were crying. ”
Zhou Dequan's face wrinkled as if he had bitten a sour date: "Dad, you guys are ...... about this."
Zhou Yuxia and Lou Lanfeng also looked at each other and smiled.
Zhou Tuantou interrupted him: "Don't say that, Dagu Village has long been dispersed, can there still be today!?" You've got to be politically conscious! ”
Zhou Dequan turned quickly: "That's what you also said, what happened later?" ”
That night, the revolutionary enthusiasm of the villagers of Dagu Village was unprecedentedly high, and the capable personnel were in groups of several people, armed with sticks, shuttles and other weapons to guard the intersections. It also prepared gongs and drums, basins and other guys that would ring as soon as there was movement, and the four sides linked, casting a net of heaven and earth, and swearing that the dog spies would never come back!
"Although I was busy that night, nothing happened, and the next day a large army came in, a platoon of the People's Liberation Army, all with guns." Zhou Tuantou said: "After that, the troops basically took over the village, and everyone obeyed the command in all their actions!" ”
From that day on, the troops began to push and search up the mountain, Zhou Shiliang cooperated with the logistics work in the village, he said: "The troops have more food, and they have helped us a lot, and they cook a lot of food every time they open a group. ”
The troops searched for three or four days in a carpet manner, and occasionally gunshots were heard, which each time caused a burst of excitement among the villagers!
The gunshots are getting farther and farther away, and it sounds like after reaching Laogu Peak, the logistics work is getting more and more tense, and the troops no longer go down the mountain, and every day Zhou Shiliang leads a few villagers to send food to the mountainside of Laogu Peak, and then the troops send people to pick them up.
A week later, the troops were divided into two groups, changing shifts every three days, and taking turns to go down the mountain to rest. One day at noon, there was a sudden gunfire behind the mountain, and the repaired soldiers urgently gathered and immediately rushed up the mountain!
But the gunfire did not last long, and in the evening three wounded were brought down, none of whom seemed to be seriously wounded, but the troops were not allowed to come forward to offer condolences, and soon the wounded were transported down the mountain.
Lao Xue came back that night, and he said to everyone: "A stronghold of spies has been discovered behind the mountain, which has been uprooted by the People's Liberation Army!" At that time, everyone was thunderous and applauded!
At night, Lao Xue returned to his house to sleep, and Zhou Shiliang secretly asked him: "Did you see what it was?" ”
Lao Xue frowned and looked at him, very strange about his question: "Didn't they all say that they were spies!" ”
Zhou Shiliang was stunned and did not dare to argue in the local area.
The next day, a lot of arms boxes were brought up from outside the mountain, and although everyone didn't know what they were, they were asked by the troops to help move them to the halfway point of Laogu Peak, and piled up a pile of bosses. Later, a lot of cement was transported, and finally it was also concentrated in the middle of the mountain. The villagers who participated in the labor could get extra steamed buns as a reward, so the red flag on the labor site was in full swing!
Lao Xue went out early and returned late during that time, and he had to go to the widow's kang in his spare time, which was very busy. Zhou Shiliang was a little confused for a few days, was the thing he saw that night napping and dreaming? Catching spies is the real thing!
After a few more days, Lao Xue told everyone that the People's Liberation Army had completed the task of chasing and suppressing, and the remnants of the spies had been completely eliminated, and they would blow up their lair today! At noon, there was a loud explosion behind the mountain, and the whole village felt a tremor. Everyone poured out of the house again, applauding and cheering!
Three days later, the troops descended the mountain one after another, and they were replaced by taking turns to garrison Laogu Peak. A week later, the troops were all withdrawn, and Lao Xue did not leave.
During that time, according to Lao Xue's own words, he made all his old mistakes, and he almost smoked a lot. He bought wine from outside the mountain, and drank it with the widows, and when they were drunk, he sang and danced with them, and taught them what to dance. After a few days, the widow of another family drank again. Zhou Tuantou said: "Anyway, there is no shortage of widows in our village, and some men who don't come back anymore even dare to pretend to be widows to hook up with him!" Damn it! ”
Lao Xue said that he sent warmth to the widow on behalf of the government.
Lou Lanfeng sneered: "Can my senior still work until retirement?" ”
Zhou Yuxia also pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhou Dequan asked his father: "Then you haven't followed you to the back mountain to have a look?" ”
Zhou Tuantou said: "No, I haven't seen it to this day, why do I want to watch it?" ”
Zhou Dequan laughed: "Didn't you see anything from beginning to end?" Isn't this a dry rub through your pants? ”
Zhou Tuan's head was on fire: "Your mother is a bastard, how can you talk!" ”
After scolding a few words, he continued.
For the next month or so, the mountain village was very peaceful, and after this wave of political mobilization, plus the harvest in autumn, there was no more escape, Zhou Shiliang's grandfather was very happy.
One day Lao Xue said that he was leaving, and at night he pulled Zhou Shiliang to a place outside the village where there was no one and said to him: "In the future, you must keep an eye on the point at any time to prevent the spies from sabotaging again." ”
Zhou Shiliang was not lacking in heart, he asked Lao Xue: "Uncle Xue, you will give me a secret, how can any spy fly in the sky with a corpse?" ”
Lao Xue sighed and patted him on the shoulder, and said very sincerely: "Since you call me uncle, you are my nephew, you remember your uncle's words for a lifetime, it is good for you and your family: don't go to the back of the mountain, be careful of the spies' counterattack, if there is any news of the spies, go to the county armed forces department to report, and we will eliminate it immediately!" ”
This sentence Zhou Tuantou remembered for a lifetime, and it was peaceful for a lifetime. Lao Xue would come to Dagu Village once every two or three years, and the last time he came was seventy-three years, and he said that he was going to retire, and there would be other people who would continue to come in the future.
Then he was replaced by a middle-aged man surnamed Qiu who came to understand the situation every two or three years, sometimes going to the back of the mountain to see, sometimes asking a few words and leaving. The last time he came was in '88, he said that other departments had taken over here, and he didn't come anymore, Zhou Tuantou said: "I asked him at the time, the Jiang gang has been completely finished, are there any spies?" ”
Lao Qiu looked at Lao Gufeng and said to him: "Spies, all those who come in the future will be spies." ”
Lao Wangtou raised his hand again and pointed at Lao Gufeng: "It's certain that the spy is here now!" ”
Zhou Dequan sighed: "After talking for a long time, I still haven't made it clear what it is, and I will go out and tell everyone that it was a spy who took away the people in our village?" If you don't laugh off your big teeth, I won't be ashamed of that person! ”
Zhou Shiliang shouted, condensing his lifelong wisdom: "Isn't it just a name!" What is it called, it is not called! ”
Lou Lanfeng also said that this set of rhetoric is out of place, and how to set the tone depends on the results of the investigation and the meaning above.
Before going out, Lou Lanfeng asked Zhou Tuantou again the specific location of the tomb that was opened this time: "Is it a new grave?" ”
Zhou Tuantou said: "It's been ten days younger, and Wang Fazi is a mother, refusing to be cremated, and secretly burying it." ”
When going down the mountain, Zhou Yuxia chased after her: "Since you asked me to assist in the investigation, what instructions do you have?" ”
Lou Lanfeng: "Then take me to see the cemetery." ”
