Hunger for a hundred years

Chapter 58 (15)
When the public security team disappeared completely from Hejiapo, many people on the slope thought of He Jiangao who had been dead for several years, and they rushed to accuse him of his benefits. "What a good person, he was forced to death by those bastards!" The people on this slope even include those at the foot of the slope, those at the bottom of the river, those at Wanggulou, and those at Xujialiang. High benefits?Whenever an animal is sick, the people on the slope will go to his house to invite him. People from other villages are too lazy to come down or come up, so they will stand on the beam that can be called and roar. , Jiangao pouted his buttocks and hurried away. He dug the herbs from the mountain with his own hard work, but he never charged anyone a penny. He didn't even eat food.Where can I find such a doctor?The current Kuan Huan not only collects money, but is also extremely expensive; not only is the medicine expensive, but it is also a shelf!Comparing the two, He Jiangao's benefits go deep into the bone marrow, causing many people to shed tears.

Many people on the slope shed tears for the first time.

Not long after, Gu's married daughter and son who went out to work all came back. The family dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, carrying a remade spirit basin, walked silently and slowly to Jiangao's cemetery.

The family knelt in front of the grave, didn't say a word, didn't cry, just knelt in silence for most of the day.

This is the most tragic sacrifice that Hejiapo people have seen so far.

A few days later, a rough stone tablet was erected in front of He Jiangao's tomb, and a strange line of writing was carved on the stone tablet:

It's you and you.It's not you and it's you.

This line of writing was chiseled by He Jiangao's son Gou. The characters are badly written, but they are as shocking as blood.

If it is a large group, the matter of He Tuanjie and his concubine, the matter of Caigen and Hu Mian, and the matter of why the tall and erected monuments will become the spiritual food of the people on the slope, enough for them to enjoy for several years, but now it is not big. Collective, everyone is working in their own fields. When they return home from the fields, it will be dark. After making dinner, they will chop up the pigweed for the next day. If they can’t play cards, it’s time to go to bed. In this way, they cannot communicate with people.The biggest difference between spiritual food and material food is that spiritual food must be shared by everyone, and no one will share it. No matter how wonderful something is, it will lose its taste after chewing it several times alone.

Therefore, everyone lived a fresh life for a while, calmed down again, and concentrated on tending the land.

But the Hejiapo people still wanted to hear about Hu Mian and Caigen, but after several months, there was no news.Related news: Yongle Public Security Bureau and a certain place in Yunnan joined forces to arrest He Tuanjie, but failed several times. He Tuanjie contacted his son and begged him to save him. My father admired him at first, he didn't look down on his mother like he did. He used to hate He Tuan because of that woman. Now that Jun has found a woman who is much better than that woman, he no longer hates He Tuan. No longer hating He Tuanjie, He Tuanjie is still his father, so Jun actively planned a plan to help his father.Not long after, He Tuanjie, with the help of his son, fled abroad with his daughter.

The news was first spread by He Zhongbao, who heard it from his brother He Zhongcai, who was a blacksmith in the street.That day, He Zhongcai's son went shopping for vegetables, and he was alone in the shop blowing a bellows to start a fire. A few strangers sat outside his shop and talked about it.He Zhongcai pretended not to know He Tuanjie, and wanted to talk to them to learn more about the situation, so he pretended to ask where He Tuanjie was from, and the few said, "Where is He from? It's from my hometown, from Hejiapo!"
Then, they said: "That damned place in Hejiapo, there are all the best second sons (robbers)!"
He Zhongcai said: "But there is only one He Tuanjie, how can there be a good second child?"
"A joke!" said one of the elders, "Hejiapo had a second child hundreds of years ago. At that time, it was in the old forest of Wanshan. They robbed him and hung him alive on a tree. He couldn't hang him. In the last three months, the neck was broken. I heard that in those years, the mountains and forests of Hejiapo were full of hanging human heads, like bloody fruits on the trees."
A young man with curly hair interjected, "Luo Siju belongs to He Jiapo, right?"
He Zhongcai said: "He is close to He Jiapo, and he belongs to Baiyanpo."
The old man said: "Anyway, there is no good person! I heard that a long time ago, the people who went up to Hejiapo first built a stockade, and when they saw the people who came up the mountain later, they set fire to them and killed seventeen members of a family. "
He Zhongcai was silent.

Curly hair said: "In that X place, eight big sedan chairs will be used to pick me up and sit on a big seat. I still need to see if I'm free!"
Another young man with a red tumor on his face said: "Hey, I heard that there are many beautiful women in that place!"
Curly hair said: "It's not that beauties are born, it's where all beauties marry! Not long ago, I saw an old county annals at my brother-in-law's, saying that there was a woman named Xu Lian in Wanggulou Tower, who was so beautiful, and later married in Hehe Jiapo, I don't know if it's true."
Hong Tuzi said: "He Tuanjie's mother-in-law is not bad-looking! On the day she was detained, I happened to see her in front of the township government. Regardless of her age, I want to sleep with her now!"
A burst of laughter.

He Zhongcai pulled the bellows until it turned blue, and the fire licked back and forth in the wandering air.

The elder looked at the fire and said contemptuously: "Black coke produces blue flames, and a good girl loves a dick, this is also a fucking strange thing!"
Just at this time, He Zhongcai's son came back.He Zhongcai was afraid that his son would hear these things—since his daughter Yinghua died, He Zhongcai had intentionally or unintentionally avoided the history of He Jiapo and their family in front of his son—so he said to the strangers: "Several old people Brother, can you sit down for a while?"
"Red Tumor" said: "It's not blocking your business!"
Having said that, they stood up and walked into the distance.

On the second day, He Zhongcai came back to the slope and repeated the words of several strangers to He Zhongbao.

He Zhongbao's tears kept pouring out.

After calming down for a while, he said: "I can't remember the suffering of our family, but others will!"
He Zhongcai was speechless.After moving the shop to the countryside, He Zhongcai seemed to forget everything except wanting to make money.

He Zhongbao also said: "Eating Hejiapo's grains and growing up, drinking Hejiapo's well water for elders, the root is here. If you stick to your duty, you can't make mistakes. Once you think about it , there must be a big mistake! I have said this many times. Look at that Cai Bang, he has never committed anything in Hejiapo. He stole when he went out, and he was arrested and sent to prison. He ran, failed, and was beaten into a disability. Besides, He Tuanjie, when he was in Hejiapo, he just stole Teacher Wu’s quilt and the school’s ball, and he just stole more than 200 catties of millet from the public warehouse. Now, speaking of it, stealing more than 200 catties of millet is not a big deal. However, as soon as he left Hejiapo, he swindled tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of money, sold drugs, and went to foreign countries! I don’t think he is playing with his head Take it off, just unwilling!"
He Zhongcai said, "He has gone to a foreign country, and he can't be caught."
He Zhongbao spat and said loudly, "I didn't hear that! Maybe foreign countries are not under China's control?!"
How could such extremely stupid and unreasonable words come out of He Zhongbao's mouth?He Zhongcai suddenly discovered that the brother he had revered and relied on all his life turned out to be like this?He looked down on He Zhongbao a little bit.

"Didn't Guanghui do a good job outside?" He Zhongcai said, looking at his angry brother.

"What a fucking sell!" He Zhongbao scolded, "I heard that drinking water there is taking the ice back, and the fields are beaten by frost like pig iron, and the plowing is not a plow, but a steel drill and a foreign shovel! What do you say? Say, how can this compare to He Jiapo?"
"But Guanghui still doesn't want to come back. He even sold his house and moved his household registration."
He Zhongbao's face was distorted in pain.
After the news that He Tuanjie had gone abroad spread in Hejiapo, most people on the slope fell into an unspeakable sadness.In the past, they only knew that Hejiapo was in the middle of Laojun Mountain, surrounded by Wangwang Drum Tower, Baiyanpo, Zhouzi Temple Terrace, Xujialiang, etc., and that there was Qingxi River at the foot of the mountain. In Yongle County, if you go up, you can go to Huangjin, Changxi, and Luowen.That's all their vision.Even if those migrant workers come back and talk about Guangdong, Xinjiang, Zhejiang, Yunnan, and Fujian, they think it is not far away, but it is just outside the Qingxi River, because those migrant workers live there, And they all want to come back, they are still from Hejiapo, and they will not be able to leave until they die.Although He Guanghui moved his household registration to Xinjiang, they believed that He Zhongbao still held his soul firmly, and his soul was still on this slope!Now it is different, He Tuan has gone to a foreign country, and he is sure that he will never come back forever. For the rest of his life, he will never have anything to do with He Jiapo again.In this way, He Jiapo, who was stable, was thrown out, hanging in the air like dust in the air.It no longer belongs to Laojun Mountain, no longer belongs to Qingxi River, but belongs to a wider and unpredictable world!

Hejiapo people suddenly feel that they have lost their homeland
In those days, He Da always talked to himself.A man is really old as long as he keeps talking to himself.Mrs. Liang is over a hundred years old, but she never talks to herself, whether she speaks or sheds tears, she always does so in front of people.But He Da has already talked to himself.Except at night, he seldom stayed at home, wandered around the mountains, and wandered around the graves beside the weir pond.He was talking to himself while wandering around.Once, a young man sneaked up behind him, trying to hear what he was saying, but couldn't understand a word.However, judging from the tone of his speech, it seems that there is an opponent for communication, not like talking to himself.

He Da was indeed talking to people. Those people were all dead people, those from Hejiapo, Lijiagou, those on his wanderings, and those from his wife’s natal family (our blind grandmother died alone two years ago) death), even He Donger who died in Wanyuan, and He Min who died in Shanghai. He only talked to a dead person for two days, and spent all the time of the rest of his life in it, and he couldn't finish it.What's more, he still thinks about those who are alive, including his children, relatives who no longer have contact with us, and everyone he knows
A few months later, autumn came, and the news of Cai Gen and Hu Mian came back.Caigen was released, only to be fined.Hu Mian was sentenced to two years in prison, and sent to a coal mine in the county to reform through labor.

On the second day after the news came, Mrs. Gu quietly shed tears while carrying an old calico bag.

She went to save Hu Mian.

In her view, Hu Mian was of course responsible for killing He Jiangao, but he was not the main one. Men like He Tuanjie, He Kuiyuan, Cai Gen, Tian Mingliang, Yan Huzi, One-eyed Secretary, He Zhongbao, and He Jianshen were the culprits.Among them, the one-eyed secretary and He Zhongbao are the most hateful, especially He Zhongbao!If it weren't for the sentence proposed by the one-eyed secretary and repeatedly emphasized by He Zhongbao-"It is you and you, not you and you!"-Jiangao would not have come to a dead end.What Gu Shi didn't understand was why Hu Mian was sentenced, but He Zhongbao and the others didn't even trip him?
Gu didn't know that she should go to the court for sentencing. She only knew that the arrest was under the control of the Public Security Bureau, so she went to the Public Security Bureau.A police officer listened to her story and patiently explained to her that Hu Mian killed a child but was only sentenced to two years because she committed manslaughter, and more importantly, she was able to voluntarily explain the problem. Has a major meritorious service performance.The police said, if it wasn't for these things, Hu Mian would have been sentenced to more than two years!Gu Shi had nothing to say, so he came back.She came back as quietly as she had gone.Hu Mian was not rescued, and He Zhongbao was still He Zhongbao.Every month at the end of the month, He Zhongbao moved to the street step by step to receive his retirement salary.Someone told He Zhongbao that the Gu family was going to sue in court, and He Zhongbao was the key target of the lawsuit.He Zhongbao was stunned for a moment, then left without a word.In fact, Mrs. Gu didn't think so at all.Her man was forced to death, and the main murderer is still at large. She only admits this painful fact, chews on the unbearable history alone, and doesn't really know the relationship between this history and reality, the future, and There is another, more powerful link between human dignity and rights that is beyond her comprehension.

At that time, the province decided to gather the surviving old Red Army in Sichuan to the provincial capital during the Spring Festival. A large part of these old Red Army came from the 33rd Red Army led by Wang Weizhou; The reporter went to Wang Weizhou's hometown for interviews, collected some of Wang Weizhou's stories that did not make it into the official history but were widely circulated among the people, and published them in the newspaper first, which can be regarded as a public opinion preparation for this event.
