Volume 1 Spring Bamboo Shoots Chapter 46 I'm sorry to you
After all, the season has not yet reached the autumn equinox, and although tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the midday sun is still very powerful. There are more and more people on the sundeck www.biquge.info the pen, no one pays attention to the hot sun, everyone is very quiet, staring at the kiln mouth one by one worrying and anxious.
Thankfully, there was a commotion at the entrance of the kiln, and I retracted my thoughts and squeezed into the pile.
The three people who were crushed by the collapse of the kiln roof were rescued and placed in a row in a straw hut on the edge of the field far from the kiln entrance. Uncle Liang went to the Three Arches Bridge after breakfast, not at home, the barefoot doctor Zeng Fanjin, who had already arrived, was checking one by one, Liu Yingguo was guarding the side with a disillusioned face, the Liu family who was crying in horror surrounded a big circle, Zeng Qingfu's wife and son also came, and they were crying long and short. Li Yuqing, the sister-in-law of the Liu family, was in tears, and a few helpers used water to clean the heads and faces of the three of them.
After a while, Zeng Fanjin announced the result in a dumb voice, Zeng Qingfu was seriously injured and lost blood, and his anger was like a gossamer, and he was no longer able to do it. Liu Yinghua was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Liu De'an was in a coma, and the injuries could not be examined, and the condition was unknown. They must all be rushed to the district hospital for rescue, and there may be hope.
Without Liu Yingguo's greeting, the big guy carried the three of them to the tractor at the entrance of the village, and Liu Dewu drove to the district hospital of the three-arch bridge at full speed.
The people in front of the brick kiln followed me to the entrance of the village, and no one noticed that I remained in front of the kiln.
Looking at the collapsed brick kiln that was still rising with dust and mist, I felt very heavy.
Because of the drunken man's words, I went to the kiln the next day to take a turn. At that time, the kiln has been sealed with fire, there is mountain spring water slowly injected into the kiln field at the top of the kiln, there are several small openings on the other side of the kiln field, and the hot water that has been scalded by the high temperature in the kiln slowly flows down the kiln roof, and is injected into the kiln from the smoke window. In fact, the thin line of water evaporated into a mist before it could flow into the kiln. The whole kiln roof is filled with water vapor, the fog rises, people stand on the kiln, and some of them are not clear from time to time.
In addition to cooling the brick kiln, the main thing is to let the water vapor sink into the bricks and tiles and color the bricks and tiles.
Zeng Qingfu was standing on the top of the kiln to inspect the kiln field, regulating the flow of water, his figure was shrouded in diffuse water vapor, appearing and disappearing. In the distance, my heartbeat accelerated a little, and the cold feeling suddenly rose again. No wonder the drunkard said something might be wrong, and I feel the same way.
I looked around, and in the broad daylight under the hot sun, I didn't see anything. What is it that makes me feel this way? I couldn't figure it out for a while. I know that I am still far from it, and I need to practice diligently and think carefully......
However, even if I could have sensed the problem at the time, I am afraid that I would not be able to do anything about it. After all, this kiln has been built, and the bricks and tiles have been fired in the kiln, even if it is predictable that this kiln will collapse, others may not believe it. You can't let the Liu family abandon this kiln and waste the bricks and tiles of this entire kiln.
It was an accident, not a demon. As the alcoholic man said, "medicine does not kill the disease". That kind of death and terminal illness, let you be reborn, it is unthinkable. How can the damned be saved?
Alas! I sighed. Liu Yinghua and his son are the second uncle and cousin of Hu Hansan and Liu Deyong, and they are very familiar with each other in the same production team as themselves. Zeng Qingfu is from the seventh team, although he is not very familiar with it, but he can often meet and see, three good people suddenly suffered this catastrophe, life and death are unknown, can it not make people sad?
In the evening, Liu Dewu came back with a tractor, and got out of the car Liu Yingguo and Zeng Qingfu's son Zeng Fanqun, and the last one to come down was Liu De'an, who was crying over Zeng Qingfu's stiff corpse.
Zeng Qingfu didn't wait for the hospital before he died halfway. He died to save the father and son of the Liu family.
According to Li Jiefang and others, there were seven or eight people out of the kiln at that time. At that time, most of the bricks and tiles had been produced, and they were about to call it a day. Liu Yinghua and Liu De'an, father and son, walked last. There was no warning of the collapse of the kiln, when the kiln roof collapsed, Liu Dean had just straightened up in the kiln, Zeng Qingfu had arrived at the door of the kiln, he only had to take a step out to avoid this catastrophe, but instead of fleeing, he flew over and pressed Liu Dean under him, and at the same time kicked Liu Yinghua next to him down, it was this kick that allowed Liu Yinghua to avoid the brick that smashed to the head.
The collapsed bricks fell from the roof of the kiln, which was more than a foot high, and buried them at the bottom of the kiln. And Zeng Qingfu's stiff bow body resisted the pressure of serious injuries until his blood was exhausted, and he had left the hope of life to Liu De'an. Liu De'an was only slightly injured, and he woke up as soon as Zeng Qingfu lost his breath on the way.
Zeng Qingfu died outdoors, and the local custom is that the body cannot enter the courtyard gate, and the mourning hall is set up in the open space in front of the courtyard. Considering that the weather was still hot and that he had died of murder, with the consent of his family, it was decided to stop the funeral for only three days, and mourn on the morning of the 16th. All the expenses of the funeral were borne by the Liu family.
He was helping the Liu family, and even more so to save Liu De'an. The Liu family is like this, of course, and there is nothing to say. Liu De'an did not care about the injuries on his body, nor did he listen to advice, carried out filial piety and kept vigil day and night.
When Zeng Qingfu was alive, he was ashamed of his daughter Zeng Sulian's unrighteous repentance and marriage, and then broke off the father-daughter relationship. The daughter has not been home for two years, but she has been in contact with her mother and others, and when her father died, her brother called her at the town post office.
Zeng Sulian, who had not returned for more than two years, rushed home from Yangzhou on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival and returned to Xinghua Village in the evening. It was his father-in-law who sent a jeep back, but for some reason, her husband in the city didn't come, and she was alone. Pregnant for five months, she held a slightly bulging belly, and after getting off the bus at the entrance of the village, she cried all the way to her father and fainted several times.
After breaking up for more than two years, the former lover mourning hall is opposite, and everyone keeps their mouths shut about everything she has in the city. The brothers and sisters of the Zeng family also did not talk much to Liu De'an. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Liu De'an, as before, took the initiative to talk to Zeng Sulian, persuaded him to explain, poured tea and handed water. Zeng Sulian kept her head in tears, and she didn't raise her head to speak all night.
At 0:10 on September 9, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chairman Mao Zedong, the great giant of the Republic, passed away, and the whole world mourned. After dawn, the villagers heard the obituary on the radio. The real heaven and earth mourn together, and the mountains and rivers are sad.
Zeng Qingfu's funeral cannot be changed, after the funeral descended the mountain, Zeng Sulian stopped for a while, and then left to return to the Yangzhou unit. There was such a major event as Chairman Mao's death, and it was impossible for her to stay at home for long, and the jeep driver who sent her back was even more anxious that he couldn't change the wheels into wings and could fly back to the unit immediately.
They sent her to the entrance of the village. Liu De'an walked last, and when he was about to get into the car, in front of everyone's eyes, Zeng Sulian walked up to Liu De'an, bowed deeply to him, and cried in her already hoarse voice and said:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Yes, no, ......"
Liu De'an burst into tears for a moment, watching her board the jeep and go away, lying on the ground and covering her face with her hands, unable to get up for a long time.
