Chapter 2 Give Me a Pull!
After all, this time is the slack season, and the people in the village basically don't have much work to do, so it is better for everyone to accompany the old branch secretary to see this gratifying medicinal material, and now most of the hillside are villagers from the mountain village.
"His third aunt, you're here too."
"Yes, you all followed the old branch secretary to the back mountain, do you think I can be idle?"
"Ergouzi damn it, I've been watching you from afar."
"Hehe, I'm just waiting for the old branch secretary to say that the medicinal materials that can make money will grow well as soon as possible, and I'm dreaming about this every night."
"Well, I have to give you credit."
"Compared with the old branch secretary, what kind of merit am I, the old branch secretary is a great contribution to the village."
……
The villagers were chattering behind the old branch secretary, and the old branch secretary was squatting on the slope and looking down, and suddenly, he frowned, because he saw that there was an area of soil in the medicine field below that had slid and overwhelmed the small piece of medicinal herbs.
The mountain village can refer to the medicinal materials of this medicinal field in exchange for money to build a school, each medicinal material is of great significance, the old branch secretary is not willing to waste it, and the overwhelmed medicinal materials are obviously not dead, as long as the clods of soil are rearranged and the roots of the medicinal materials are picked up, the medicinal materials should still be saved.
"There's a layer of soil down there that has slipped and overwhelmed the herbs, so someone will come with me to rearrange that layer of soil." The old branch secretary was anxious, and while beckoning to the young and middle-aged villagers who were watching the excitement above, he walked down the slope first.
Among the villagers who watched the excitement above, there were immediately nearly fifty young and strong villagers who also walked cautiously towards the bottom of the slope, which also had no choice but to be cautious, because below the slope where medicinal herbs were planted was a towering cliff, and if they were unlucky enough to fall down, they would definitely end up with no bones left.
This is the limitation of mountain village conditions. The slightly flattened land around the entire mountain village is used to grow grain, so the medicinal herbs can only be planted on this steep slope that cannot grow grain, but fortunately, the medicinal herbs that the old branch secretary got can be planted well in the mountains, which can be regarded as a great solution to the limitation of the lack of arable land in the mountain village, after all, if the flat land is taken to grow medicinal herbs, what do the villagers eat?
If the old branch secretary asked the villagers to push off their own land and use it to grow medicinal materials, the villagers would definitely not agree.
Everyone cautiously reached the sliding area of the soil and began to bend down to collect the land. They are all crop men, and even if they don't have tools in their hands, they can still tidy up this land.
"Be careful." The old branch secretary slowly picked up a medicinal herb and reminded everyone.
"I know, old branch secretary, you have to be careful."
"Hehe, I'm in good shape. At first, neither the Japanese nor the Kuomintang reactionaries could kill me. ”
When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. And the most worthy of the old branch secretary to recall is the eventful years when he joined the army and fought for New China's southern and northern wars. How many comrades-in-arms have died, but he has survived until now, not only to see the establishment, but also to be the village party secretary in his own village for 30 years, and now he is going to take the whole village to get rich.
As soon as he thought of this, the old branch secretary's heart was sweeter than eating honey.
However. At this moment, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky, and the thunder sounded so suddenly that the villagers of the backing village who were watching the excitement on the slope and the land on the slope were startled. Then, as if in the blink of an eye, the clouds appeared, and rolled in, obscuring the sun, and darkness fell, and the wind began to blow all over the mountain, and the wind grew stronger, and the water vapor in the air became more and more intense.
"It's windy, it's windy, big guy go uphill, don't stand under the slope, be careful of being blown under the cliff by the wind!" The old branch secretary shouted at the surrounding villagers.
As if to confirm the words of the old branch secretary, in an instant, the wind suddenly rose, the rain was pouring down, and the people who had just picked up the land on the slope climbed on the ground one after another to prevent themselves from being blown down the slope and falling into the cliff by the wind and rain.
"Get on it! Fast! The old branch secretary shouted.
"Two dogs! Come up, be careful! ”
"Junzi, come up, come up!"
"Master, climb up, there are stones falling down on the mountain!"
……
On the gentle part of the slope, the villagers shouted to the lower part of the slope, where almost everyone in their family was below.
Dozens of young and strong villagers who were lying on the slope heard this, raised their heads one after another, and through the sight of the wind and rain, they saw that a piece of stone was rolling down to the slope, if they did not climb up from the slope in time, even if they were not blown off the cliff by the wind and rain, they might be killed by the falling rocks.
This thief, God, how to say that if there is a strong wind, it will blow a strong wind, how to say that it will rain heavily when it rains, this mountain, how to say that the rolling stones will roll the stones!
Dozens of young and strong villagers did not dare to delay, and began to climb up against the wind and rain, and they had to climb up as soon as possible, otherwise their lives were really worried.
The old branch secretary struggled to support the feet of a villager next to him and lifted him up, while he himself relied on holding a convex stone with one hand to tightly control his body on the slope to prevent it from being blown down by the wind and rain, but in his eyes, the lives of the villagers were very important, and he wanted to try his best to help a few more villagers climb up.
In this way, the old branch secretary pushed more than a dozen villagers up in a row, and he was already tired and a little out of breath, at this moment, a falling stone hit the head of the old branch secretary, and the blood flowed out in an instant, the old branch secretary only felt that his head was slammed, and then he felt that his vision became bloody, he knew that this was caused by the blood flowing into his eyes, and he had also encountered such a situation when he was a soldier.
"Whew...... ......Huh, "The old branch secretary felt that his head was very dizzy, and his vision was constantly blurred, he gasped for breath, but found that his body suddenly couldn't hold it, the hand that was originally holding a convex stone fell off, and the body slid down two meters, fortunately, the old branch secretary grabbed a groove with both hands with the last little strength, and barely let his body stand still on the slope again, but after all, the old branch secretary was not the stick guy who was young and strong enough to follow the army to fight in most of China, he was over sixty years old. The body is already very weak, in order to push other villagers up, he has spent a lot of strength, plus a falling rock just now smashed heavily on the head of the old branch secretary, not only smashed the head of the old branch secretary, but also smashed the old branch secretary's spirit at this time, he felt that his breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and he felt that his strength was constantly losing.
The old branch secretary knew that even if he grabbed this groove to prevent himself from being blown down the cliff below the slope by the wind, he would not be able to hold out for long, let alone climb up the slope to a safe point.
And at this time. There were other villagers who were crawling towards the old branch secretary, and some villagers who had been picking up the land under the old branch secretary happened to crawl past the old branch secretary at this time.
Through his current crimson and blurred vision, the old branch secretary saw the figure of Ergouzi, who just talked about a daughter-in-law this year, and said that the girl in the village disliked Ergouzi's poor family when he was pro. There were no objects, and the old branch secretary gave him the watch and radio given to him by his old comrades-in-arms without saying a word. Let him take these things on a blind date. Only then did he finally confirm the marriage with the woman's family. At this time, watches and radios were considered big items in a small mountain village, and Ergouzi insisted on kowtowing to the old branch secretary, saying that he would let his future children recognize the old branch secretary as a godfather.
"Two dogs, pull me, pull me. I can't crawl, I can't crawl. The old branch secretary stretched out his hand, hoping that the second dog would pull him.
The second dog turned his head and looked at the bloodied old branch secretary. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, and his hand was stretched out, however, in the next moment, his hand was withdrawn again, and he continued to climb up the road alone, without paying attention to the old branch secretary.
"Two dogs, two dogs." The old branch secretary shouted twice, but seeing that the second dog had climbed up more and more, and was getting farther and farther away from himself, he stopped shouting, and for a while, a heart-rending pain rose in the heart of the old branch secretary, and this pain in the heart was ten times more intense than the pain of the wound on the head!
Immediately afterwards, Junzi also climbed to the old branch secretary, and the old branch secretary stretched out his hand to Junzi and shouted: "Junzi, I don't have the strength, pull me up, pull me up." ”
When Junzi and his brother separated ten years ago, because of the ownership of half an acre of land, the two brothers almost turned against each other, and it was the old branch secretary who assigned his half acre of land to Junzi, and then personally set a table of side dishes and pulled the two brothers to shake hands and reconcile again. The old branch secretary is alone, and he still has some government subsidies, even if he sets aside half an acre of land under his name, he can barely live, of course, it is just reluctantly.
Junzi turned his head and glanced at the old branch secretary, then he turned his head again and continued to climb towards the old branch secretary, without any intention of taking care of the old branch secretary.
The old branch secretary's mouth snorted, he felt that something he had been guarding in his heart was broken, and at this time, the old branch secretary's nephew Ma San'er crawled beside him.
The old branch secretary is an orphan, his parents died early, and Ma San'er is his only relative with blood in the village, it can be said that Ma San'er was brought up by the old branch secretary, without the help of the old branch secretary, Ma San'er was estimated to have starved to death when he was a child, not to mention his daughter-in-law.
The old branch secretary opened his mouth, and the wind and rain hit his mouth, making him choke, but this time he directly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ma San'er's ankle, hoping that Ma San'er would pull him, because he felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, and if he really rolled down, he would fall directly into the cliff.
"I don't want to die, uncle!" Ma San'er actually stretched out his other foot and kicked the hand of the old branch secretary who grabbed his ankle at this time, once, twice, three times, four times!
The old branch secretary's hand was bleeding and deformed, and finally the old branch secretary's hand fell, and Ma San'er quickly climbed up without looking back.
Then, the villagers who crawled past the old branch secretary did not pay attention to the old branch secretary, and only cared about climbing up by themselves.
The old branch secretary looked at Lu dejectedly, and he saw that the villagers who were standing on the flat place on the slope quickly left after receiving their men to climb up, they were afraid that there would be a mudslide and their lives would be in danger.
No one comes to look at themselves, no one cares about themselves, they are still below!
My head is broken, and I don't have the strength to climb up and come back!
The old branch secretary shouted in his heart, shouting to the villagers he had guarded and cared for thirty years, but when the last villager climbed up and was picked up by his family, there was no shadow of a villager on the slope above, and they all left and abandoned themselves.
The old branch secretary also lost all his strength at this time, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of unwillingness, and in the end, this unwillingness turned into anger!
"Wow" The old branch secretary's hand finally let go of the stone, and the whole person was carried by the wind and rain to roll down the slope, and fell into the cliff at the very end.
The figure of the old branch secretary falling down looked so desolate, so miserable, before he died, he suffered a pain that was more unbearable than death! (To be continued......)
