Coming out of Sister Tao's house, along the trail of his hometown, Zhang Tao buried his head and ran forward without slowing down.

The closer he got to his hometown, the heavier the sourness, desolation and helplessness he felt in his heart.

The spring breeze of reform and opening up is blowing all over the land of China.

Although there have been some changes in the hometown, the poor and backward appearance of the hometown has not been fundamentally changed.

The village is less than three points of land. The meager income from the land is simply not enough to support the family.

In order to survive, the village's strong laborers had to risk their lives to go down the mines in a nearby coal mine to earn some money to subsidize their families.

As soon as he thought of the incident of going down the mine, the tragedy of many villagers who had mistaken accidents in the coal mine appeared in Zhang Tao's mind one by one, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicable indignation in his heart.

"These shitty coal bosses are all black-hearted targets who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they are all cruel and ruthless executioners!"

These things made his mood even worse.

He didn't think much about it anymore, and rushed home.

When he arrived at Liujiapu, Zhang Tao saw that the playground of the village primary school was brightly lit.

The bright light emitted by the mining lamps intertwined in the night sky, making the entire mountain chong extraordinarily bright.

There were a lot of people gathered in the playground, and everyone was shouting loudly, and it seemed that they were all very emotional.

The noise was mixed with miserable and sad cries.

The voice was made by a woman, and it was familiar.

However, Zhang Tao couldn't tell who it was for a while.

"What's going on?"

Frightened and worried, as if lightning flashed through Zhang Tao's heart.

A shadow of misfortune that may have relatives suddenly wrapped him tightly.

He shook off the depression in his heart and hurried to school.

"Brother Tao! Brother Tao! ”

There was an urgent sound of footsteps behind him.

There is no need to look back, Zhang Tao also knows that it is Huzi who is shouting.

So, he slowed down and waited for the tiger.

As soon as Huzi ran to Zhang Tao's side, he panted and said: "The old village chief went to his daughter's house, and you were not there, and there was no commotion in the village." ”

"Don't be wordy, what's going on?"

Seeing Huzi's expression so flustered, Zhang Tao estimated that something big might have happened in the village.

"Shufu made a mistake in Shuangfeng Coal Mine!" Huzi said sadly.

"What?" Zhang Tao was taken aback.

He hurriedly asked, "When?" I met him yesterday and had a few conversations with him. ”

"Just this afternoon."

"After Shufu had an accident in the well, he hadn't lost his gas yet."

After a pause, Huzi said indignantly, "But the owner of the coal mine didn't immediately send the book to the hospital, but let the mine doctor rescue him."

There was a delay of nearly an hour, and as a result, Shufu died on the way to the hospital. ”

"Dog's day! Why would they do that? Zhang was furious and thunderous.

Huzi said bitterly, "This is the usual trick used by these black-hearted coal mine bosses. Sending a dead person is significantly less time-saving and cost-effective than healing and raising a crippled. ”

Speaking of this, Huzi's face became more and more hideous and terrifying.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "The most hateful thing is that as soon as Shufu ran out of gas, the coal mine arranged for someone to hurriedly send his body back and gave Aunt Orchid 5,000 yuan for her funeral. ”

"I still have to say that this is an illegal operation of book payment, and there is no compensation!"

Zhang Tao's eyes were wide with anger, and his eyes were like sharp blades, piercing through the night, as if he wanted to kill the burly charm in the darkness.

Shufu and Zhang Tao's family have some close relatives, and the relationship between the two families has always been relatively good.

Shufu has two children, the youngest is only a few years old, and the eldest is still in elementary school.

His wife is Orchid, but she is a first-class beautiful daughter-in-law in the village.

From a hazy woman to the beginning of love, Zhang Tao has always taken the appearance of an orchid aunt as the standard.

After the book was paid away, the two children who were waiting to be fed, the orphans and widows, how could Aunt Orchid live this life?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao couldn't help but feel like a knife and filled with righteous indignation.

"This shit, if Shuangfeng Coal Mine doesn't give a satisfactory explanation this time, Lao Tzu will blow up this coal mine too!" He roared.

"Boss Shuangfeng is too black-hearted!"

"Several people in the village have mistaken accidents in his mine, and they have not received reasonable compensation."

"We must not let him go this time!" Huzi also shouted loudly.

"Huzi, the young people in the village who can walk, they will all be organized."

"Let's leave tonight and carry the corpse away!"

"Things haven't been handled well, Shuangfeng doesn't want to start work for a day." Zhang Tao ordered Huzi with a murderous face.

"Okay, there is an order from Brother Tao, who dares not to go, I will discount his leg!" Huzi puffed out his chest and replied loudly.

Huzi dares to boast about such a Haikou, and there is a reason.

In the village, especially in the hearts of young people, Tao Ge has a prestige second only to the old village chief.

Huzi knew that he had brute strength and could not convince the public, but offended many people because of his rude personality.

But now, with Brother Tao's words in the way, he felt that in Xiachong Village, he could be regarded as having obtained the emperor's holy decree.

Who would dare not listen to Brother Tao?

That's against the young people of the village, unless he doesn't want to be in the middle of it.

While speaking, Zhang Tao and Huzi had already arrived at the school playground.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Brother Tao is here! Huzi shouted at the crowd,

This did not disgust the villagers, and they greeted Zhang Tao warmly.

The young man shouted excitedly, "Brother Tao, Brother Tao is here." ”

Older than Zhang Tao, he said with anticipation, "Taogu, it's up to you this time!" ”

Zhang Tao nodded in response as he walked in from the path flashed by the villagers.

Although he is not very old, his ability and prestige are obvious to all, and no one has to be convinced.

The old village chief and Zhang Tao, the old and the young, can be said to be the backbone of the village.

If there is any conflict with other villages, Zhang Tao has to come forward.

This guy is bold and martial arts, and he is well-known around.

He led the villagers to fight several times with people from other villages, and the fierceness and coolness have made the villagers talk about it so far.

This gang of young people in the village who are scattered and some cowardly and afraid of things, as soon as Zhang Tao is present, they will become extraordinarily united, and even the courage will be a lot bigger.

Shufu was lying upright on a mat, and his appearance was really miserable.

Orchid and her two children were still crying bitterly.

The cry pierced through the darkness and echoed in the quiet night sky below.

The mountains and forests changed color, and the villagers wept for it.

This situation, even hard-hearted people will be moved.

As soon as Orchid saw Zhang Tao coming, she slammed her head on the ground and cried miserably.

"Taogu, you have to help me make the decision!"

Grief and anger suddenly surged in Zhang Tao's heart.

He felt that if he didn't open his mouth to speak, if he didn't decide to do something, his whole body would go crazy and his chest would explode.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

He shook away his tears, jumped onto the stage next to him, and shouted regardless of it.

"Folks, everyone has seen the tragic situation of Uncle Shufu."

"I believe that in everyone's eyes, there are tears, and in their hearts there is blood, pain, and anger!"

"Shuangfeng is such a cruel and inhumane practice, and it is not only Uncle Shufu's family who is bullying, but also the entire Xiachong Village."

Zhang Tao's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the villagers in the audience.

"Do we agree with the rush?"

He shook his fists, gritted his teeth, and roared such a sound from his lungs.

"Disagree! Disagree! ”

All the people on the playground, especially the young people who admired Brother Tao, had red eyes and shouted with their throats wide open.

This roar shook the earth as if it were trembling, the dark elves were scrambling in fear, and the valleys were resounding like cheers.

When the angry roars of the villagers stopped, Zhang Tao continued to shout passionately.

"This time, we must not let Shuangfeng go, we must seek justice for the deceased Shufu Uncle, and seek a way to live for the orphans and widows he left behind!"

"The leaders and men in the village will all go to Shuangfeng tonight!"

"Lift the book to Uncle Fu and let him see it, we are avenging him and making him close his eyes with hatred!"

"Let Shuangfeng also see, the people who rush down are not a bad seed!"

At this time, several old people in the audience whispered, "Taogu, the deceased is the biggest, it's not appropriate to carry the body over like this!" ”

Zhang Tao said without giving face: "Cut, what is the biggest death?" The dead are dead, the living are great, orphans and widows are great if they live! ”

"If Shuangfeng can't give reasonable compensation, we will put Uncle Fu in the mine manager's office and let him be the mine manager!"

After saying that, he jumped off the stage and ignored the crooked old men.

"Huzi, take the brothers to each group to sound the gong and shout people, and after half an hour, all of them will gather on the school playground!"

Then, he instructed another young man in front of him, "Long Gu, go to Aunt Orchid's house to break down a door and get a sheet." ”
