Chapter 36 Ancient Tree
After listening to Han Youcai's introduction, the young generals of the Red Guards circled the old elm tree several times, and finally agreed that this was not a magical or rare thing at all, but a trick played by class enemies. Those who are used to confuse and win over our peasant brothers must be eradicated immediately.

After setting the goal, the next step is to implement it.So the group of Red Guards went to borrow saws and axes from the villagers to prepare for the great cause of tree felling.But those people who didn't want to borrow tools have run into trouble one after another.

It turned out that when the villagers heard that the old elm tree was going to be cut down, would they agree to it, so everyone answered simply.

"no!"

The stubborn attitude of the villagers made Han Youcai, who took the lead, very angry. Moreover, he felt that he was losing face in front of his subordinates on his own territory.

Annoyed and angry, he stood on the street, pinching his waist with one hand, and holding up the quotations from the Communist Party of China with the other, cursing these people in the village for being backward in thinking and unable to keep up with the formalities.

As a result, within five sentences of cursing, a brick flew over and hit his calf firmly.Hugging his thigh, enduring the pain, when he wanted to see who hit him, he saw his father holding a wooden stick in his hand, running towards him with an angry expression on his face, this guy was so scared that he didn't care about the pain, hugged him Ears fled and ran away.

But things can't just be left alone, the situation is so big, it's too ugly to be anticlimactic, what should I do?
It is true to say that people always come up with solutions.Finally, without a saw or an axe, the boys came up with a sinister idea.It is to use a red-hot torch to pierce through the hole.After the hole is enlarged, quicklime powder is stuffed inside.

When the young Red Guards were tossing the old elm tree, they protected the old men and old ladies in the Earth Temple. After seeing it, they beat their chests and stomped their feet and scolded these bastards.But I was afraid that once I left, these people would come and smash the Earth Temple again.Helpless, I had to watch these people tossing helplessly.

In this way, the young Red Guards tossed and tossed until after four o'clock in the afternoon, expanding the hole that was originally as thick as a finger into a tree hole the size of a bowl, and filling it with quicklime before they beat the victory drum and sang victory songs to return home. The county seat went.

They left with a wave of their sleeves like this, and they didn't even take a twig with them in an extremely chic way. There is a ghost knocking on the door.

It turned out that on the night when the Red Guards left, around eleven o'clock, the Han family's bunk had already fallen asleep, when suddenly a whirlwind blew up.

This whirlwind that suddenly rose from the flat ground without any warning, rose from the east end of the village, and swept across the entire village in a menacing manner. Amidst the barking of dogs in the whole village, it blew towards the south end of the village. Finally, it disappeared inexplicably in front of the Earth Temple.

The villagers in Hanjiawopu were woken up by the huge wind, but they hid in the house and did not dare to go out, because the wind sounded like wolves howling and ghosts, and it sounded enough in the middle of the night. Evil door.

Before everyone figured out what was going on, the strong wind outside the house actually stopped by itself.For such a result, although it was beyond the expectations of the villagers, for these native villagers who are accustomed to strange things, it is more comfortable to hug their wife's hot head at this time.As for the yard that has been blown by the wind, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, in the age of poverty, there is nothing valuable.

But immediately, bursts of moaning and moaning in pain, faintly resounding in the village.At this moment, all the people in the village were so scared that they couldn't sleep at all, and they turned their ears sideways, trying to hear where this strange moaning sound came from.

But the groan sounded like it was in great pain, but it was very erratic, for a while it seemed to be under the window of his own yard, and for a while it seemed to be on the Nanshan Mountain of the village.

In the quiet night, with such a strange moaning sound, everyone was so scared that they dared not leave the house, and each of them was lying on the kang with a quilt in their quilts.It wasn't until they heard someone yelling loudly in the street that they all braved up and went out of the house.

Villagers who didn't know where they were, when they gathered in the street, thought that something happened to someone in the village, but after asking around, no one said that something happened at home.

At the same time, these people who were only paying attention to talking just now found out after they calmed down that the extremely painful moaning sound had disappeared and could not be heard at all, as if it had never appeared before.

But just now, everyone clearly heard it clearly, otherwise they would not have run out of the hot bed.Could it be... Everyone suddenly fell silent, no longer talking on the street, only the tinnitus in the ears was quiet, you look at me, I look at you, but they dare not turn their heads to look behind them.

I don't know who yelled, but this time, the big guy suddenly seemed to be blowing up the camp, oh my god, daddy yelled and ran back to his home, he felt that it was not safe to insert the gate, so he found a wooden stick to hold it up. After staying, I hurried back to the house.

I thought this matter should be over, but when everyone returned to their home and sat on the kang again, the painful moan sounded in their ears again.

What's even more frightening is that there are occasional knocks on the closed doors of each house. This guy, the entire Han family's villagers were so frightened that they didn't dare to close their eyes all night and stayed up until dawn.

To talk about such a thing, it doesn't matter if you make trouble for a night or two occasionally, but since that day, this Han's nest shop has been like this every night.Moreover, the dreadful knock was now at the door, now at the house door.

The highly stressed villagers couldn't even sleep well, and their eyes were bloodshot.Everyone thought about it, this is not going to work. Everyone is listless and inefficient at work during the day. Isn’t this delaying socialist construction?So after a discussion, they finally got together at Han Youcai's house, grabbed Han Youcai's father and cursed at him.

Because everyone discovered that such a situation only appeared after Han Youcai took someone with him and injured the old elm tree.What made everyone even more angry was that the precious old elm tree had died.

But this scolding can't solve the problem, and we have to find a way to settle this matter.But I found several Mr. Yin and Yang, but when they heard about such a thing, they all shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse.Some Mr. Yin and Yang even simply hid, and the people who went to invite them didn't even meet each other.

At this time, Han Youcai came back again, but this time he was escorted back, looking like a bear with his head drooping, without the arrogance he had last time.

Not only Han Youcai was like this, but the Red Guards who came together last time were all like donkeys. When they saw people at the entrance of the village, they looked like shy daughters-in-law with low eyebrows. After saying hello politely, they hurried away Lose.

Moreover, this time, there were some clean and fashionable men and women who came to the Han's Wopu with them, with unglamorous faces, the men were wearing cream, and the women were wearing powder.

After the people in the village were inhaled by the scent, those who were walking in the middle of the street hurried to both sides of the road to give way to the middle road.Some children even ran back to their own homes and poked their heads out from behind the half-closed door to watch.

When these city people who have seen the world walked towards the village, although they all had smiling faces, their occasional frowns and disdainful eyes completely exposed their psychological contempt for this impoverished village.

This large group of people came directly to the village courtyard, and discussed with Han Gui, the village head who was still young at the time, in the office that could be converted into an earthen house for about half an hour, and then went to the village at the south end of the village In the Temple of Earth, an elm tree was replanted next to the dead elm tree.

After the work was over, the group of people knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, burned some yellow mounting paper, patted the soil on their knees, and left.

During this period, this group of people didn't say a word, as if they were a group of dumb people. The villagers didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't dare to ask them, so they could only watch them busy.

It wasn't until they left that the villagers dared to discuss it loudly.It's just talking, and I can't tell why.Later, it occurred to me that they had approached the village chief, but when they asked about Han Gui, he only said that the village would be quiet after that, there would be no more monsters, and it was enough for everyone to sleep peacefully.

As for other things, Han Gui didn't want to say a word.The people in the village were baffled and panicked at the same time, so they didn't dare to ask more questions.

What Han Gui said really came true.That night, the village was silent and nothing happened. The villagers could finally sleep well. At the same time, they no longer speculated about the reason why these people came to Han’s Wopu. Anyway, the result was good. Let’s ask about the process , is there any need?

Later, I don't know where it came from. The news said that since the Red Guards returned to the county, their families were haunted by demons, and they all went to hell.Finally, after looking for Mr. Yin Yang, I found out that the elm tree had already cultivated. These people ruined his practice, so he naturally wanted to ask for an explanation.

This statement is quite reasonable, and the villagers also believed in this statement, so they took good care of this newly planted elm tree.No one dared to move the dead old elm tree.

But things are not absolute, because there is another person, Han Youcai who was escorted back.

It turned out that among the young Red Guard generals, there were many with strong family backgrounds. After the accident happened in their own family, they found out that it was Han Youcai who took the lead. After saying hello to the Revolutionary Committee, this famous Red Guard general was escorted back to the village. Hand it over to Han Gui.
