Chapter 370: Portrait

Kangjiagou Village, the most famous urban village in the capital in later generations, the preferred place for countless northern drifters, was only a remote small village in this era.

After driving a jeep on a muddy road for half an hour, Li Weidong saw the small village gradually rising at the end of the turquoise farmland.

"It's too remote here, isn't the person you're looking for from the capital?"

Ding Qiunan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, frowned.

"Hey, that old man only has a daughter, no son, he is old now, so he will retire at his daughter's house." Yu Fatzi took a piece of paper and seriously compared the scenery next to him, on which the winding road was drawn, which was a hand-drawn map.

"Weidong, the village in front should be there, you turn right from the pond on the left..."

The voice did not fall.

"Click"

The jeep braked suddenly, and Yu Fat was caught off guard and arched on the backrest of the front driver's seat.

Rubbing his head, he saw that someone was blocking the road in front of him, and Yu Fatman's teeth gritted and gurgled: "In these years, you dare to block the road, it's really boring!" ”

He casually pulled out a steel bar from under his seat, and was about to push the car door, but was stopped by Li Weidong.

"Fatty, don't worry, those people don't seem to be robbers, wait for me to go down and take a look."

"Comrade Li Weidong, let's reverse the car, shall we?"

Ding Qiunan saw the young men in front of him through the car window, carrying shotguns on their shoulders, and looked a little worried.

She had heard from the workers in the machine factory that there were some small remote villages in this world that were very evil.

When the stranger enters, the person disappears from this world without a trace.

"It's okay, just wait in the car."

Li Weidong put the pistol into his waist, lifted the hem of his padded jacket to block it, put his hand in his trouser pocket, pushed the car door, and swaggered up.

"Brothers, what do you mean?"

As he spoke, his eyes vaguely looked at these people.

They were all in their twenties, with yellow faces and thin muscles, messy hair, cotton jackets and patches on their bodies, thick hemp rope at their belts, dirty cotton trousers, and mud at the cuffs of their trousers, which was the standard image of a member of a suburban commune.

The only difference is that a small man on the far left is only 1.6 meters tall, carrying an old-fashioned shotgun on his shoulder, the handle of jujube wood is oily and shiny, and the barrel has been carefully maintained, so there is not a trace of rust to be seen, and it seems that it should be used often.

This old-fashioned shotgun is loaded not with bullets, but with gunpowder and steel balls .... Found it, Li Weidong's eyes fell on the black ammunition pouch hanging from the man's waist, and his hand unknowingly touched the pistol.

This old-fashioned shotgun, also known as a troll, has a poor range and accuracy, but once it is snatched, the oncoming steel balls like scattered flowers are extremely dangerous.

It can be said that within five meters, even if you have the speed to dodge bullets, you can't dodge hundreds of steel balls.

When Li Weidong looked at these people, the young man who took the lead was also the only one wearing a broken felt hat.

The broken felt hat was also looking Li Weidong up and down.

"Mao suit, four pockets, pen in the jacket pocket, heh, the leader from the city?"

"Leaders are not counted, we are from a machine factory." Li Weidong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket as he spoke, took out a few and scattered.

Those few people took the cigarettes, and their faces suddenly became much better, and when they struck the match, the vigilant look on their faces had disappeared without a trace.

The broken felt hat took a deep puff of smoke and spit out a cloud of white mist: "Machinery Factory.... I seem to have heard of it, what about your roads? ”

Road strips.... Li Weidong frowned vaguely, he was in a hurry to get out of the city today, and he really forgot about it.

In recent years, there have been too many people fleeing the famine, and in order to control the population and ensure the supply of materials, roads are needed to enter and exit the capital.

"No road, can't...."

The broken felt hat was about to speak, when a large bag appeared in front of him.

The rest of the voice choked in his throat.

The broken felt hat couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looked around, didn't see the commune leader, grabbed the cigarette case, and put it in his pocket.

He smiled and said, "Second uncle and grandfather, are you here to visit relatives?" ”

“......”

Li Weidong was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

"Get out of the way, didn't you see my second uncle and grandfather coming?" The broken felt hat turned around and got out of the way, and when he saw that the members were still standing on the road with a confused face, he was so angry that he went up and beat and kicked him.

"Captain Liu, you still have a second uncle and grandfather, why don't I know?" One of the members took a kick, stretched out his sleeve and wiped his nose.

The rest of the members also hid back and forth, just not getting out of the way.

"Okay, we'll all have a share in the meeting, don't mess around, let the people in the commune know, we won't get anything." The broken felt hat glared at him fiercely, and said in a low voice: "These people are driving jeeps, there will definitely be no problem." ”

"Yes, yes, it's the second uncle and grandfather." Only then did the members get out of the way.

"Boom!"

The jeep whistled and slapped in front of them, and Yu Fatzi, who was holding his head in the car, muttered in a low voice: "These members are too cunning." ”

"Why, only our city people are smart and don't allow the members to be cunning?"

Li Weidong smiled: "The only difference between us and them is that when we were reincarnated, we were less than twenty miles apart. ”

Yu Fatzi glanced at Li Weidong in surprise: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be a leader now, and your ideological consciousness has also improved." ”

"Less, I just wanted to tell you that no one in this world is born stupid."

Ding Qiunan listened to these words, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

....

The old worker found by Yu Fatzi is named Tu Shan, who is nearly seventy years old this year, and his face is still red with excitement when he mentions the events of that year.

He waved his arm, which had no palm, and anger was written on his cracked face:

"Baby, you are young and have not experienced that era.

At that time, the factory owners didn't treat the workers as human beings at all, and we had to work ten hours a day in the workshop.

Eating in a thatched house is time-limited.

If anyone dares to be lazy, not only will they be fined their wages, but the brutes in the factory team will also wield a leather whip and give him a few whips.

Iron nails were hung on the skin of the whip, and when it was drawn on a man, it was a bloody path, and a young man, after being whipped a few times, could not move when he lay on the ground.

I was young and vigorous, and I couldn't see them bullying my co-workers, so I rushed up to stop them.

Who knew that the bully Hu Sanshou, following the orders of the factory owner, actually put my palm under the roller....."

Speaking of this, Tu Shan's eyes were full of anger, and his left hand holding the enamel jar began to tremble.

"Dad, don't mention what happened back then." His daughter stepped forward and patted him on the back.

Call.

Tu Shan let out a sigh of relief, and said in a trembling voice: "Didn't the leaders of our commune say that forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal!" ”

"Now that I am liberated, the workers are in charge, and not only can I get paid when I work, but even if I can't work now, I can still get a pension."

"Did you dare to think of this before?"

"Babies, you can't understand the greatness of the new society if you haven't suffered from the old society."

Although Tu Shan's voice was hoarse, his words shook Li Weidong's head like a thunderbolt.

Yes, born in the sun, you can never understand the difficulties of being in the dark.

In his heart, he admired the greatness of his ancestors more and more.

Without them, we might still have to live a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs in the dark, damp and dirty workshop under the drive of the leather whip.

....

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious, and even the fat man, who had always liked to giggle, closed his mouth and straightened his body.

I don't know how long it took for Tu Shan to break free from his past memories.

"Baby, are you going to pull Hu Sanshou out?"

"Yes, I have encountered some things recently, and I suspect that Hu Sanshou is behind his back, and I hope you can help tell his facial features." Li Weidong pointed to Ding Qiunan next to him and introduced: "This female comrade is the painter I invited. ”

"Okay, catch Hu Sanshou, let him receive the punishment he deserves, and also avenge me and my oppressed workers!"

Then Ding Qiunan drew the portrait of Hu Sanshou according to Tu Shan's memory.

With a beard, hanging eyebrows, high cheekbones, and shallow lips, it is not a good thing at first glance.

"Thank you, comrade, this is a little bit of our heart."

Seeing Ding Qiunan put the portrait in a canvas pocket, Li Weidong took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

"Hey, you little comrade, what are you doing! You pulled out Hu San's hand, and you are also avenging me, how can I ask for your money, hurry up and put it away. ”

Tu Shan stood up suddenly, his expression excited, as if the five yuan was a grenade.

The daughter who was squatting on the ground next to her raised her head, and a hint of change flashed in her eyes, but then she lowered her head again and continued to work.

Li Weidong didn't push anymore, and turned his head to look at Tu Shan's daughter: "We are not familiar with the road, can you send us out of the village?" ”

When the daughter heard this, she raised her head and glanced at Tu Shan, who nodded and said, "Xiuhua, I take care of you at home, you go and come back quickly." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Tu Shan had opened his mouth, Xiuhua no longer hesitated, put down the work in his hand, and took Li Weidong and them out of the small courtyard.

"The road ahead keeps going forward, and I can get out of the village, I have to go back quickly, otherwise I won't be able to finish the work of the commune today."

Xiuhua pointed to the road ahead and said.

Li Weidong rolled the window and handed out the five yuan: "Xiuhua, you take it." ”

"But no, Dad knows and wants to scold me." Xiuhua was so frightened that she took two steps back.

Li Weidong smiled: "This is Comrade Tu Shan's labor remuneration, he said so much just now, it is also a kind of labor." ”

"Really, really...."Xiuhua was a little unconvinced.

Yu Fatzi helped beside him: "This is the leader of the rolling mill, just like the leader of your commune, can he deceive people?" ”

“.... That's just as well. ”

Xiuhua cautiously stretched out her hand, took the money, and put it in her pocket.

"Comrade Xiuhua, thank you, if we catch Hu Sanshou, we will send someone to tell Daddy Tu."

"That.... Good bye. ”

Xiuhua didn't slowly put down his hand until the jeep disappeared at the end of the path, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he muttered in a low voice: "I met a good Samaritan today." ”

....

After returning to the capital, Ding Qiunan "copied" more than a dozen copies of the portrait and handed it to Yu Fatzi.

"Fat man, you give the portrait to Pengzi and them, so that these days, they can put down the work at hand and go all out to find Hu Sanshou."

"Understand, don't worry, Pengzi has a lot of little brothers, and there will be results soon."

After the fat man left the infirmary, Li Weidong walked to Ding Qiunan's side with a smile: "This time it's really thanks to your help." ”

"And how do you thank me?" Ding Qiunan pursed his lips and smiled.

“....”

Li Weidong glanced outside, it was already dusk, there was silence outside, and the workers were barely visible.

"Do you want to be in a hospital room, or a dorm?"

Li Weidong smiled evilly.

Ding Qiunan's little face turned red, lowered his head, and whispered, "It's in the ward...."

Hey...

*

In a small courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing.

Liu Xiulan sat upright on the chair, her eyes fixed on Hu Sanshou.

"It's been all over for such a day, why haven't you been able to kill the kid surnamed Li, do you think that now that it's a new society, you can not listen to your master?"

Hu Sanshou sighed and spread his hands forward.

"Madam, how dare I, if it wasn't for the old man who carried me back from the snow and asked the master to teach me martial arts, how could I have today."

"It's just that Li Weidong has been hiding in the machinery factory for the past few days, and I have no chance to do it at all."

"If you force it, you will probably end up with the same result as last time."

"Not only can't kill Li Weidong, but it may also startle the snake."

Liu Xiulan also knew that what Hu Sanshou said was the truth, and she should not be in a hurry to deal with people like Li Weidong.

However, these days, Wang Baobao is clamoring for a fairy sister all day long, and Liu Xiulan can't see Wang Baobao being wronged.

Therefore, Li Weidong must die, and it must be as soon as possible.

Liu Xiulan pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "So, what you lack is a chance to start?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to use a gun this time, ma'am, you should know my marksmanship." Hu Sanshou is full of confidence.

Hu Sanshou is a practitioner who has been cultivated by the Liu family since childhood, and Liu Xiulan naturally knows his ability.

"If you want to lure Li Weidong out, you can only let Lao Wang find a way."

Saying that, Liu Xiulan turned her head to look at Deputy Director Wang: "Lao Wang, you quickly think of a way!" ”

When Deputy Director Wang heard this, his face turned white with fright.

"Madam, I am the deputy factory director, and I have no business relationship with Li Weidong, what can I do!"

He's not stupid, if this thing leaks, then he's completely finished.

Liu Xiulan raised her eyebrows: "The surname is Wang, in order to make you the deputy factory director, how much effort has our Liu family spent, now let you do a little favor, you are here to push back, you are a wolf-hearted guy." ”

"I... I ....."

Seeing Liu Xiulan's attitude, Deputy Director Wang understood that he couldn't hide this time.

If you blindly refuse, you can only attract Liu Xiulan's beating.

Liu Xiulan is fat, and it hurts to beat people.

He held his chin in his hand, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "There is a chance, in two days, there will be a factory from other places, come to the machinery factory to inspect the production line, Li Weidong will definitely accompany him, he should have eaten in the small canteen of the machinery factory, but I can persuade Liu Feng to let him change the place of dining outside." ”

"It was already dark at that time, but it wasn't completely dark, so it was the right time to start!"

A fierce light burst out of Hu Sanshou's eyes.
