Things in the world are sometimes so weird, the more people you don't want to see, the more you can't avoid them.

"Yo! Mr. Xia! You are taking beautiful women to incense, not asking for children! Wang Youcai shouted at Xia Jian with a haha.

As soon as the villagers of Shangxiang heard Wang Youcai say this, they began to whisper. The scene was a little embarrassing, originally Xia Jian and Zhao Hong were together, and the villagers had a slight opinion, but no one dared to say it.

Zhao Hong is a woman, of course, her face is a little unbearable, but Xia Jian is different, he laughed and said: "The third young man of the Wang family, it's almost the New Year, if I beat you all over the ground, I'm afraid it will be unlucky!" “

Xia Jian said, and stepped over and blocked Wang Youcai's face. This Wang Youcai has never doubted Xia Jian's skills, he knows very well in his heart that if he really moves, Xia Jian will really beat his teeth.

Wang Youfa saw that the situation was not right, and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Xia!" You are also the number one person in our Xiping Village, how can you care about him. Let's play your go! “

Hearing Wang Youfa say this, Xia Jian smiled and stood aside, and Xu Lihong, who was following Wang Youcai, couldn't help but glance at Xia Jian when she passed by Xia Jian's side.

I don't know what the reason is, this woman actually smiled at Xia Jianwei, Xia Jian couldn't help laughing and said: "Good cabbage is arched by pigs" Xia Jian's words made everyone laugh, and Wang Youcai's face was very ugly.

Unexpectedly, Xu Lihong didn't care about this, she smiled and said: "Good cabbage is grown for pigs, do you have anything to disagree with?" This woman's boldness was beyond Xia Jian's expectations.

Zhao Hong walked over, pulled Xia Jian and said, "Let's go!" Too lazy to grind your teeth here"

Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu hurriedly pushed and pulled Xia Jian out of the God of Wealth Temple, they were also afraid that once these two people met together, it might cause big trouble, and it would be a struggle between Wang and Xia's two families.

A few people laughed and flocked to Xia Jian's house. Before entering the door, Xia Jian shouted, "Mom! Whole plates of cold dishes, more meat, we're going to drink"

As soon as Sun Yuejuan saw Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu coming, she smiled and said, "It's already done, which room are you drinking in?"

"Get it in my room!" Xia Jian said loudly.

Xia Zecheng walked out of the upper room, he glanced at everyone and said, "It's okay!" The fire in your room is already lit, and it's quite warm, you drink first, and I'll come down later."

"Uncle Xia! If you want to drink it, take out the good wine that Xia Jian has honored you, and a few of us will follow suit," Chen Erniu said with a laugh. Xia Sanhu didn't have any jokes, but he laughed very happily.

Soon, a small square table was set up in Xia Jian's room, and four small stools were placed around each other. Sun Yuejuan and Zhao Hong were busy for a while, and a few plates of cold dishes were served on the table, which were really all hard dishes. Cold pork ears, spiced beef, anyway, Chen Erniu couldn't stop laughing.

The dish is served and the glass is full. The four of them drank happily. Xia Jian held the wine glass and smiled: "After so many years, we can finally sit together and have two drinks."

Drinking wine and eating vegetables, Zhao Hong suddenly patted his thigh and said, "The broadcast of the village committee is still playing!" "When a few people heard it, it was true, pop music was playing on the radio.

Chen Erniu smiled and said, "It's okay, let's turn it off when we drink the incense of the burning head!" Tonight is just a lively picture" As soon as Chen Erniu's words fell, Xia Zecheng walked in.

Xia Sanhu hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle come and sit."

"You don't need to get up, there is still a stool here," Xia Jian said, and took out a small stool from under the bed. Xia Zecheng took it and sat down. Zhao Hong hurriedly poured him a glass of wine.

Xia Zecheng took a breath of relief: "For the New Year, you have to pay attention to safety in all aspects." For example, fire prevention, and some unexpected dangers, personnel should be set up to take turns on duty, and now the village committee is not without money, can it be implemented with rewards! “

Xia Zecheng's words surprised Zhao Hong, and she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Why didn't I think of this matter." Uncle is still experienced, it seems that we still have a lot of places to learn."

"Especially on occasions like the Chinese New Year, fire prevention and theft prevention, as well as some man-made dangers, such as drinking too much and fighting, driving drunk cars, etc., you have to take it into account, after all, you are the head of a village, this matter must not be sloppy" Xia Zecheng said very seriously.

Before his words could fall, someone suddenly shouted: "The mountain temple is on fire!" The villagers hurried to put out the fire" This voice startled Xia Jian and the others. It's really a matter of whatever you say.

"Let's go! Zhao Hong shouted on the big radio and asked the villagers to carry buckets and water," Xia Jian said, wearing his coat and running towards the door. Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu followed closely behind him.

At this time, Xiping Village was already in chaos. By the time Xia Jian and the others ran to the mountain temple, there were already many villagers who had started to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too big for people to get close to. In addition, this place is halfway up the hill, and there is no water around. The strange thing is that the northwest wind is still blowing at this time.

A few elderly people yelled at Chen Erniu: "How do you village cadres behave? This idol has been around for decades, is it going to be destroyed in the hands of you losers? “

Xia Jian then understood, it turned out that everyone was most worried about the idol inside, but if it was burned like this, the fire would immediately burn to the place where the idol was placed.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Xia Jian was not allowed to think too much. He took the scarf from his neck, then ran to a villager with a bucket and pressed it in, and it was all wet.

"No, Xia Jian! This fire is too big, it's dangerous if you go in like this" The villagers saw Xia Jian's intentions, but at this time, he had to take this risk, otherwise the villagers would scold Zhao Hong and other village cadres to death.

Wrapping the wet scarf around his face, Xia Jian tried his best to endure the biting cold, and rushed into the mountain temple with one arrow step. The temperature inside is terrible to be high. Especially when the smoke was thick everywhere, it was impossible to see where the idol was hanging.

Xia Jian relied on his vague memory and rushed towards the innermost. The fire on the roof was crackling, and dirt and tiles were already falling down, and if you were not careful, it would be hard to imagine if it hit your head.

Time is life, and Xia Jian really realized the meaning of this sentence at this time. His eyes couldn't be opened at all, he could only touch them with his hands. Obviously, I felt that I was in this place, but at this time, Xia Jian just couldn't touch it.

He suddenly remembered that the safety knowledge he learned when he was in school had to be attached to the ground at this time to breathe.

As soon as Xia Jian thought of this, he immediately lay on the ground, only then did he turn his head, and his eyes opened a little, just like that, he had determined the direction for Xia Jian. With the flickering of the fire on the roof, he saw the statue of the mountain god hanging on the wall.

Xia Jian got up violently and took a step into the air, and when he found out, he seemed to have arrived at the god case. Xia Jian touched it with his hand, and he touched the ribbon hanging the statue. At this time, he was not given any chance to untie the ribbon at all. As soon as Xia Jian exerted his strength, he also pulled out the nails that were nailed to the wall.

A few rolls, Xia Jian with a body of Mars, the person has arrived outside the mountain temple. I heard a rumbling sound, and the roof of the entire mountain temple collapsed.

The crowd exclaimed. Xia Jian threw the idol in his hand to the ground, and he rolled a few times in a row, because he felt the burning heat on his body, and his clothes should have been burned through.

Several villagers gathered around and poured cold water from the bucket on Xia Jian's body. I was almost burned to death just now, and now it looks like I'm going to freeze to death again.

Zhao Hong rushed out of the crowd and yelled at Xia Jian, "Are you crazy? For the sake of a broken image, don't you even want your life? Xia Jian knew in his heart that Zhao Hong felt sorry for him, but if she was in a hurry, she might have provoked the anger of the public.

Sure enough, an old man yelled at Zhao Hong while cleaning up the statue of the mountain god on the ground, "What did you say? Is this a broken image? This is a treasure that has been preserved in our Xiping Village for nearly a hundred years. I think that in order to avoid the Red Guards, several old people almost died for this statue. Therefore, as a village cadre, you must understand that this idol is not easy to come by."

As soon as the old man spoke, the others followed Zhao Hong. Xia Jian was covered in water, like a chicken in soup. He walked among these people in two steps and said loudly: "Listen to me, the statue of the mountain god should be intact, this is the blessing of the people of our village, as for the temple?" The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come."

"Hey! You young man said it easily, how can the new one come? The village didn't pay for the temple, and if he wanted the people of Xiping to share the construction of the temple, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky," an old man with gray hair shook his head and said.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "Grandpa! Murakatsu has money to cover money, and this policy is not allowed. So be it! In my own name, I donated 50,000 yuan, if it is not enough, the villagers can donate voluntarily! Now a few hundred yuan is not a difficult thing for us people in Xiping Village."

"Good guy, you are not the son of Xia Zecheng. Just say this to you, the matter of building the temple will be handed over to a few of us old people, and you just have to pay for it," said the old man with a laugh.

Xia Jian shivered from the cold, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay! After the New Year, I will ask my father to hand over the money to you, and you will start to rebuild in the spring! “

After Xia Jian finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled out and left, he was indeed so cold that he couldn't hold it. Zhao Hong arranged a few words for Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu, and followed closely.

"You! It's really not worry-free, you see how dangerous it is" Zhao Hong chased after him, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Xia Jian and said.

Xia Jian trotted and said with a smile: "The temple can be rebuilt if it is burned, but if the portrait of this mountain god is burned, it will be a big trouble, and you will not be a good village head."

"I know you're doing it for my good, but you can't work so hard!" Zhao Hong said, her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

As soon as they returned to the house, Xia Zecheng and Sun Yuejuan were surprised when they saw their son like this, but they didn't dare to ask for a while. Xia Jian didn't say a word, took off his clothes, and got into the quilt.
