Chapter 121: Resolved
On the second day of the lunar month, it snowed heavily again in the mountain field. The heavy snow that was flying all over the sky lasted for a day and a night before it stopped.
"Alas, after this snow, the slopes that we originally made have to be leveled again. We've done a good job this year, and it's time for me to put the wood down the hill these days. Let's continue to do the same as usual, let's release the arrow cart. Sun Changhai went to Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng and discussed with them what to do next.
"Okay, that's it, Sun took the idea of this. We don't understand, we just do what we say. Wang Yuanpeng nodded and agreed with Sun Changhai's method. For Sun Changhai, he really admires him, this person is a good hand in the mountain field, he can do anything.
"That's it, I'll take someone with me and go and clear the slopes first. If this thing is not flat, it will be easy to stubble. It was a big accident, so we have to be careful. Sun Changhai hurriedly took people out to work.
Sun Changhai asked the big guys to stop the work of putting trees, and then everyone went to clean up the snow trail together. After all, a lot of people is a fast job, and the slopes are almost all over in two days. Then Sun Changhai took people and began to put wood down.
The huge logs, sliding down the mountain, and the wooden handles next to them are all scared, this thing is the most dangerous. The first few batches of wood went down quite smoothly, and Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng also came over to watch. Wang Yuanpeng kept nodding, these wooden handles are really capable, they can come up with such ideas, it's really amazing.
Then another batch of wood was put down, but for some reason, it got stuck halfway up the mountain. The wood was all squeezed together, and I couldn't get down.
At this time, Yu Hai was a little anxious, "Alas, I said Lao Sun, what's the matter with you?" Why is this still stuck? ”
"How do I know that? Who has a good child for this thing of pumping the forest? Quick, someone, help me see if the place is stuck? Sun Changhai shouted loudly.
But those wooden people looked east and west, but they couldn't see what was stuck. Angry, Sun Changhai jumped up, "I said that you are all waste, I can't even figure out this thing, a group of waste goods, I really don't know what to raise you for." Yu Toutou, young master, I have to trouble the two of you, help me take a look here. I went over to see it, they are stupid, they just know how to be powerful, and they don't have any brains at all. Now that it's getting dark, we have to hurry up and finish this little work, and we have to cut down the wood tomorrow. Sun Changhai smiled and asked Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng to come to the front of the wood and help him watch.
Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng didn't understand the reason for this, and when they saw Sun Changhai jumping up and down in a hurry, it was naturally not good to watch from the side. So he came to the place that Sun Changhai said and helped look at the wood.
"Yu Toutou, you look carefully. I'll try it with a small bar, and if it's in the right place, the wood might move. You helped me keep an eye on which piece of wood, young master, you have to help too. Sun Changhai took the small bar in his hand, and then looked around.
Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng also checked the wood very carefully, this wood can't all be piled up on this halfway mountainside.
Sun Changhai swept the corners of his eyes, and found that the two people were looking at the wood intently, the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc, and then stretched the small bar into the crack of a piece of wood, and said goodbye forcefully.
With a bang, the stuck wood rushed out like an arrow off the string. Yu Hai and Wang Yuanpeng were still looking down, they were defenseless at all, and they were crushed by the huge logs all of a sudden. The wooden handles on both sides were already far away at this time. I saw countless large trees, whistling over the snow track. In the end, all I saw was a pool of blood on the ground, and there was nothing left.
Sun Changhai turned his head and looked at the people behind him, "Let's go, let's go back and clean up all those thugs." ”
The wooden handlers changed their stupid state, and all of them became vigorous, and everyone took the small bar in their hands and walked towards the place where the thugs lived.
At this time, Old Man Dong had already used means to knock down all the dozen or so Dongyi people. More than a dozen people were lying on the ground, unable to move, as if they were dead.
"Old man, what do you think we should do?" Sun Changhai hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"A fire, just burn them. Burn down all these houses and leave no traces. Changhai, you move quickly, take out all the luggage and other things, and don't leave any traces. ”
Let's do it together and throw all the thugs into the house. Then when Sun Changhai and the others took out their luggage and found a place to hide it from a distance, everyone directly set the house on fire.
In winter, the trees are very dry. When the fire came together, everyone watched from the sidelines, trying not to spread into the woods. It's just that these houses next to each other are all on fire.
The fire rose into the sky, but there was no expression on everyone's faces. Those who were originally stunned also looked at the fire in front of them with hatred at this time, as if they had recovered their senses.
This fire burned for a whole night, and the wooden handlers were not idle, and when they saw that the fire had a tendency to spread into the forest, everyone went to put it out. By the next morning, the houses had burned to the ground, and some of the woods were on fire.
Fortunately, when the house was built, a large open space was cleared next to it, otherwise such a fire would have to spread to the forest.
Dong Lao looked at it, "Okay, send someone to the county government to report to the official, such a fire, the government must come forward." Xiao Xu, Xiao Li, you take your original mountain field people, and hurry back to the original field. When the government went to ask someone, they said that you saw a fire in the middle of the night, and then rushed to help put out the fire. Remember, no matter who asks, we only come here in the middle of the night when we see a fire on this side. The wooden handles and others in the mountain field were all burned to death, and when we came, no one ran out. ”
Sun Changhai was a little worried, "Can the old man do this?" It's not our wooden handle that is dead? How can people not know? ”
"What if you know? Everyone went back to report to their respective cabinets, and tried to get the cabinets to come forward and suppress this matter. Even if the county man knew in his heart that something was wrong here, did he dare to say that it was the Dongyi people who died? If he dares, he can't afford to be accused of colluding with foreigners. This dumb lose, he is determined. The old man snorted coldly, then waved his hand and let everyone go.
Sun Changhai and more than a dozen other people who were originally from this mountain field, but they didn't know where to go at this time? As soon as the heads of the other mountain fields took a look, let these people divide into three groups and follow them. With such a delay this year, I'm afraid I have to get out of the job quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult to deal with the other end of the cabinet.
Everyone's luggage and other belongings were all snatched out in advance, so they each took their things and left.
Qian Mingyuan and the others also came, they were so close, if they didn't come, it would seem a little wrong at that time. Qian Mingyuan still sent Wang Liangzi to report to the county seat. With such a big fire, I'm afraid that the nearby villages will also see it, and this kind of thing can't be hidden.
In the county office, Wang Xiancheng almost fainted when he heard that his mountain farm was on fire. He hurriedly went to find Wu Zhixian and asked people to hurry up to check the situation. Wu Zhixian and this Wang County don't deal with each other on weekdays, so they randomly sent a few officials to catch fast and go to the mountain field.
Just like Mr. Dong said, this matter can't be found out at all, and the mountain field next to it all said that they went to put out the fire only when they found the fire in the middle of the night. Nearly twenty people were burned to death inside, it should be the wooden handlers who worked, what else can be done about this matter? Obviously, the wooden handlers didn't pay attention when they lit the fire at night, and they didn't know where the fire went wrong, and they all burned to death in the end. So although Wang Xiancheng knew that there was something strange in his heart, he couldn't come up with evidence, and there was no way.
This time, there was a fire in the mountain field, and the loss was not small, and the county government also attached great importance to it. The magistrate sent officials to inspect one place to another to see how well the fire prevention in each mountain field was doing. It just so happened that it was almost time to collect taxes, so the officials went down and collected all the taxes by the way, and of course, this time they also made a lot of oil and water.
No matter what, even if this matter is slowly calming down, those few people in the mountain field are all working hard. Now that it's a month, if you don't work, you can't explain it to the big cabinet.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is Xiao Nian.
Qian Mingyuan is still the same, in the morning of the new year, he gave the wooden handlers fifteen taels of silver each, and then asked everyone to go home for the New Year. And the people were full of joy, and each of them took his money, and went down the mountain with great joy.
Yun Xue went to find Old Man Dong and asked him to go home with him for the New Year. That Dong Lao is a bull temper, but he doesn't do it, he has to be on the mountain with Qian Mingyuan. Yun Xue had no choice, so she had to take Yun Zhen and the two of them, followed Li Dayou and them, and went down the mountain in a plow.
Originally, some mountain farms were not allowed to go home for the New Year, but Qian Mingyuan treated the wooden handle better, so he let everyone go home to reunite with their relatives. In the other mountain farms, we can't let everyone go home this year, and they haven't done their work. At this time, you have to hurry, otherwise the weather will gradually warm up after the year, and it will be even more difficult to do it. Everyone understands that besides, they are making money, and they have been delayed these days, so they can't all work in vain this year? So, everyone worked on the mountain with peace of mind.
Sun Changhai originally came out angry with his family, and this year, he had nowhere to go, so it was just right to stay in the mountain field.
