Although the matter of giving her youngest son¡¯s remains was haunting her mind, the old lady was still very concerned about the scene in front of her. Where were those people? From the looks of it, it should be in the cemetery in Triangle Land. It was so early in the morning. How could there be a funeral at this time? And he also picked out three-foot-three white flags to cry out for injustice? You must know that here, no one would do such an action unless they had great grievances. In the old life, doing this would certainly bring the grievances straight to heaven, but it would hurt the luck of others in the family! What kind of grievance made the family ignore everything and take this decisive action?
People in rural areas all get up early. Although the sun has only just revealed half of its face now, on the road, there will occasionally be old farmers who get up early to collect firewood and collect dung on the road.
"Jiang Yan, get out of the car and let me ask what's going on over there?" The old lady still couldn't let go of what she had just seen. She saw a man in his fifties standing by the roadside carrying a six-piece dung basket. She hurriedly asked her grandson to stop the car. As for her, she opened the car door and walked out. He asked the man: "Brother, let me ask you, is the triangle over there still the cemetery of Xiaoluzhuang?"
"Oh, I can't call you a big brother. You are over seventy now, right? You are more than twenty years older than me! I'd better call you aunt"! The man standing on the side of the road was actually picking up excrement and talkative. Hearing this, he did not dare to talk to the old lady about his peers. He quickly excused himself with humility, and then said: "It is the cemetery of Xiaoluzhuang, you always"
"Oh, I'm from Liucun. I'm about to go home and have a look. You guessed it, I just celebrated my eightieth birthday yesterday!" It always makes people feel happy to show respect to others, especially to strangers. The man's humility made the old lady feel good and told her about her birthday.
"Oh, I really can't tell. It doesn't look like you're only in your early seventies." Really picking up what the old man liked to say, the man pointed over there and said, "You always see Have you seen the white flags in the cemetery over there? Alasit was an injustice to the twelve o'clock in the sky!"
"How could it be? This is a new society now"! The old lady immediately became dissatisfied again and lectured with a straight face.
"In this new society, there are still things that we can't control. Let's take Wu Xia from Xiaolu Village. Wasn't it just that she was killed by others? Even if she died, she even poured a large basin of dirty water on the girl! That¡¯s just a twenty-year-old young lady! She¡¯s going to be killed alive!¡± The man said angrily.
"Oh? Is there really such a thing?" The old lady also had to believe it.
"Let me tell you, we only dare to talk to you to see if you are a talkative person"! The man came closer to the old lady, lowered his voice, and said to the old lady: "Just listen to this and let it go. Don't tell others. Don't take it seriously." , In fact, all the people involved in this matter are not far from us!¡±
"Hey, just say it, you're a big man, why are you so hesitant?" The old man used the provocation method.
"Hey, you don't need to provoke me, I will tell you even if you don't provoke me"! The man chuckled and told what he knew about Wu Xia's encounter in Zichang County. He neither added any moisture nor added his own conjecture. It was like making a court statement, telling the story. Speak clearly.
"Oh" The old man sighed longly, but did not express his opinion on this. After thanking the man, he silently got into the car and said to Jiang Yan: "Call your fourth uncle and ask him to come too. A trip to the house¡±!
"Um"! Jiang Yan quickly agreed.
After that, the old lady remained silent all the way until she returned to the entrance of Liu Village and when the villagers came to pick her up, the old lady's expression softened a little. She entered the village laughing with the villagers and was not in a hurry to go to Yingying. On the other side of Zuiyan, I chatted with people of average age first.
This group of old people also know that old man Zhou Huazi is here to visit the skeleton found at Yingzui Rock a few days ago. However, with the jade there and the fact that it is really the child's skeleton, even if he doesn't recognize it, he can't recognize it. It was almost time, so these old sisters thought of ways to comfort the old man, thinking that the old man would be able to hold on when the time came to open the child's bones.
"Erlanzi, how far is it from Xiaolu Village?" The old lady still wanted to check as much as possible to see if the man on the roadside was making generalizations.
¡°Bali Road, this is an old one. In fact, new roads have been built in recent years, so it¡¯s not that far!¡± The man named Erlanzi was actually over sixty years old, but in front of the old lady, he still received the courtesy of a junior.
"Oh, you guys are always gossiping, have you ever heard about the girl who was a soldier in Xiaoluzhuang?" Naturally, the old lady didn't need to ask politely, she spoke directly.
"I've heard that these days,The news spread all over the country! How could you not know? I heard that the child went out to eat with a comrade. It turned out that the comrade was a man. He drugged her food, which caused harm to her without knowing it. She died at that time. That's not even counting. The man's side , insisting that the girl in Xiaoluzhuang took the medicine by herself, what kind of drug was it? As a result, people died after eating too much! How is this possible! That child is the niece of the old Gu family from the neighboring village. She has passed by our village many times. She is a serious child. How come she has been a soldier for several years Ah, aunt, look at my mouth. ! "
"go on"! The old man Zhou Huazi's chest heaved rapidly, and he shouted sternly: "Tell Auntie everything you heard and knew! Don't worry about the face of the fourth son, something like this happened in his army, and A ball of face¡±!
The old man's staunchness is well known to everyone. Giving the old man a voice almost scared away the courage of the nephews, grandsons and other wives. No one dared to say a word. It took a long time before someone with more courage came to tell the old man what he had been saying these days. rumor.
This time, it was much more exciting than what she had heard on the road. What the old lady never expected was that Xiao Lu's incident was also added to it. However, these wives didn't know that Xiao Lu had escaped from danger, and they were still pretending to be Xiao Lu. They had already been shot. Speaking of sadness, some mothers-in-law who were related to each other could not help but burst into tears. You must know that this is in the countryside! In almost all villages that live close together, there is a phenomenon of children getting married! Almost everyone can connect with their relatives without using a few crutches!
"Jiang Yan! Have you called your uncle? Why haven't you come yet?" The old man stroked his chest with his hands, suppressed the anger that was about to burst his chest, and shouted to his grandson in a trembling voice.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I beat you, and I beat another one just now. They said they have already come out, and they are taking a helicopter. They must be here soon"! Jiang Yan didn't want his fourth uncle to arrive soon. If he asked these women to talk about nine o'clock again, he couldn't guarantee that his strong-willed grandma would give face to his uncle, the commander of the military region!
At this moment, the rumbling sound of a motor came from above his head. Jiang Yan took a long breath. He knew it was a helicopter from the sound, so his fourth uncle must have come back. When he looked up, he saw that it was not a helicopter. The plane circled for a while and then flew towards the outside of the village. It was probably looking for a place to land.
After a while, human voices came over, and a large group of people surrounded Liu Jiangsong and entered the gate of the house.
¡°Mom, why are you sitting in the yard? It¡¯s not cold¡±! Seeing his old mother sitting in the yard, Liu Jiangsong asked with concern.
"Cold? My heart is burning!" The old lady really didn't care about giving face to her son, but the donkey reacted quickly. She quickly waved her hand to stop the villagers who were still squeezing in. She winked at everyone to avoid them, pulled the group of women and slipped out quietly. In an instant, the Liu family were the only ones left in the yard.
"Mom, what's wrong? Who made you angry? Is it Jiang Yan?" Liu Jiangsong didn't realize that his mother was angry because of him, so he smiled and joked. Then he was frightened by his mother's increasingly bad expression. He quickly took a few steps forward, supported his mother's body, and shouted anxiously: "Mom? Is it because of me? My son has just come back. Why are you so angry? Mom, please calm down. If your son is wrong, he will kneel down for you and you can beat the knot with the broom"!
"I dare to hit you, the commander-in-chief? You are an official now. Now that you are a high-ranking official, who dares to lay a finger on you?" The old lady saw that her son was sweating for a while, she felt a little calmer and said with a cold face.
"Oh my God! Even if I am the President of the United Nations, am I not also your son? You can beat me and scold me!" It has been many years since I, as a senior military cadre, rarely speak with such caution. However, after saying this to my mother, not only did I not feel uncomfortable, but I felt so relaxed.
"Huh! You've learned how to talk sweet talk. Let me ask you, what's going on over there in Zichang County?" The son's hair was turning white, and the old lady was angry and reluctant to beat or scold him, but the matter had to be explained clearly. Immediately, the old lady asked more questions.
"Zichang County? Oh, I understand, but, Mom, why did this matter reach your ears?" In fact, Liu Songqing didn't really care much about what happened in Zichang County. For him, the head of a large military region, it was just a scabies problem. When he learned about it, he only ordered a careful investigation. , but I was quite dissatisfied with the behavior of robbing the law field at that time. You must know that the people who robbed the law field were people from the navy. When will the ground on the Army side be contaminated by those guys in blue clothes? Only then did he report to the central government to ask for an explanation.
"How can I not know? The one who died from the disaster was the daughter of Xiaoluzhuang or the niece of the old Gu family in the neighboring village. You also know that our village is different from that of Gujia Village.We are connected by relatives and blood by blood. How can we not know this? Also, isn¡¯t your sister-in-law from Uncle Guifu¡¯s family from Xiaolu Village? Your sister-in-law¡¯s surname is Wu, and your daughter named Wu Xia is your uncle¡¯s aunt and niece!¡±
"Mom, what have you heard?" As he asked this question, Liu Songqing made a decision. He had neglected this matter and should have investigated it clearly. However, although the Spring Festival had just passed during this period, one thing happened one after another in the army. , I really didn¡¯t have the energy to care about these shabby things that were not on the table, so I told the people below to deal with it.
"The old lady sighed. She also knows that her son's official position is great, but his responsibilities are also greater and heavier. It is impossible to figure out everything personally. If you figure it out, it is inevitable to be deceived by some people with ulterior motives. , but this time is different. If this matter is not handled well, Liujiacun himself will be embarrassed to come back in the future!
"Anyway, you have to think of ways to help the boy from the Lu family. Although it is wrong to hurt people, it still needs to be hurt. According to what I heard, those few were beaten half to death. A beast. Not a human being at all!¡± The old lady finally expressed her request. Of course, it was not all a request. To a large extent, wasn't this the old lady's gathering of the people's wishes?
"Mom, it's too late"! Liu Jiangsong said with a helpless smile.
"What? It's too late? Is itI've heard that if anything happens to the army, isn't it always handled by a military court formed by the army? Is it you?" The old lady was really anxious. From what everyone said, the old lady was very optimistic about Xiao Lu. She would risk everything to save people. She knew clearly that the other party had the son of the director of her base and several children of local officials. , but rushed in without hesitation. If he hadn't been overwhelmed by the tragedy there, how could he have hurt those beasts like that?
"Okay okay, my old lady still has some breath. Didn't that child die unjustly? I'm going to avenge that child! Why do a few half-dead beasts need to waste those precious medicines? Just one knife per person, It can be killed!" Old Mrs. Zhou Huazi turned around and walked back into the house. She must be going to use the kitchen knife like that. I think that when the Japanese invaded the village, it was not like the old man had never fought hard!
"Mom! Mom! You misunderstood. What I said was too late. The young man was not shot, but rescued. But it was not our military region that rescued people" Liu Songqing was really worried. , my mother¡¯s nature is really violent to the extreme! This is still a lot of age. If she were a few decades younger, the female Red Guard captain back then would not be easy to mess with!
"Yeah, who saved it? You have to thank them. If they hadn't taken action, you, you, would have been carrying this stain for the rest of your life!" The old lady turned around and smiled happily. However, looking at her son's helpless expression, she saw something and immediately said: "Do you think that others' interference in your army has transcended you, the commander? You don't think so. Comfortable? Let me tell you, do you think that those corrupt officials who care about human life should be the ones who step over you and do whatever they want! Why do they arbitrarily sentence sentences from the second level (without the consent of the parties involved)? Why do the military affairs have to be put in local places? Go up to trial? You, you should think that these people really don¡¯t take the military region seriously!"
"Yes, Mom, what you said is right. Ieven if you want to deal with it, you have to wait for me to go back, right? Mom, I know you are in a bad mood, but you should also pay attention to your health. This matter will be like this for the time being. Anyway, people They are all left there, no one can run away, let¡¯s go see Xiaoyue¡¯s bones first, don¡¯t worry, my son promises, no one will be spared who has committed a crime, and I will definitely reward anyone who has meritorious service¡±!
"Well, that's more like it. Okay, you came here in a helicopter this far away. Sit down and take a rest. I'll be safe. Let's go pick up Xiaoyue" In an instant, old man Zhou Huazi's expression changed. Extremely sad and sad.
In a hotel room in Dangqiao City, Xiao Han was arranging some things on the phone to Tan Zhen, who had just returned. According to information that Lei Mingjie learned through some personal relationships, an investor from Koumu accidentally When I passed the nursery of Zichang County Environmental Protection Bureau, I found a few very rare flowers and trees in the nursery. At that time, I proposed to the owner of the nursery, Chen Mingyuan, to buy these flowers and trees, and even gave a very high price, but Chen Mingyuan refused. He refused. Preliminary investigation showed that the investor was trying to obtain those flowers and trees through other means through Ai Qinglin, the director of the Provincial and Urban Investment Promotion Bureau whom he met during investment negotiations in Liaoning Province. After hearing this, Xiao Han couldn't help but wonder, what kind of flowers and trees did the investor want to get by any means necessary? This is definitely not simple.
"Governor"! At this moment, Li Zuofeng walked in and said to Xiao Han, "I have already inquired. There is news that several flowers and trees in the nursery contracted by Chen Mingyuan are very rare varieties. However, based on these, it is not possible for the Koumu man to value it so much. In fact, what he wants is a fern. However, there is currently no information to clarify what kind of plant the fern in Chen Mingyuan's nursery is, but there is one thing. It can be confirmed that this tree-like fern should be a unique plant in the world today."
Although Xiao Han didn't understand botany, he understood what Li Zuofeng said. The rareness of this unique plant in the world cannot be measured by money, not to mention that the information in front of him is only preliminary information. Maybe that plant In addition to being unique, ferns have other valuable qualities.
"I have two principles. First, all arrangements are based on this ancient fern tree. Once this ancient tree is involved, the protection of the ancient tree must be the first priority. Second, the safety of the Chen family and his son must be taken into account. To reach the highest level, don¡¯t save the tree and let the hero who saved this ancient fern tree suffer.¡±
"Well, Governor, I understand, I know how to do it"! Li Zuofeng nodded and said.
"What's going on over there in Liu Village?" The matter of the ancient tree is not a big deal as long as it is properly protected. This is in the land of New China. Even if the mouth mu man hooked up with Ai Wenqing's son, Xiao Han was not afraid. Now he wants to know What's more, what's going on with Liu Cun's arrangements?
"Haha, everything went according to the prior arrangement. Commander Liu has also arrived at home. The news passed shows that this commander has given old man Zhou Huazi a hard lesson. But after all, old man Zhou Huazi is here for his young son who has been missing for many years. The bones were returned to Liu Village, so"
"Oh, it's okay. It's an unexpected surprise to be able to reach this level. I think after this incident, it will be much easier for us to communicate with Commander Liu, right? It's time to arrange a meeting!"
