Chapter 3 Chapter One

The expressway has not been repaired into the Qinling Mountains, and the Qinling Mountains are chaotic, covered with clouds and fog.After the expressway was built into the Qinling Mountains, the small gold kiln in Huayangping quickly grew into a large mining area.The big mining area is very lively now, with 100,000 people, and there are still labor and capital rushing there every day.People in this era are crazy about getting rich, and this era is the era of development. Yingzhen is a small basin in the Qinling Mountains. It is separated from Huayangping by Mangshan Mountain. It is not a county, but Yingzhen has always had people working in the big mining area.

Everyone in Ying Town knows that there have been cases of killing people with money in the big mining area.Said: Walking in the big mining area, with your head down, you can pick up a gold ring. Ying Town governs dozens of villages and is a big town.The town street is also big.Except for some units of the government, there are shops of all kinds on the street.Every morning, people from every shop sprinkled the floor with water, and then cleaned it with brooms. There were three or five groups of men and women holding red silk ribbons, walking side by side from east to west, and the dogs followed.The dog is used to this being going to Songyun Temple.

Songyun Temple is on the half slope of Mangshan Mountain. In fact, the temple has long since disappeared, and there is only a pine tree from the Han Dynasty.After the pine grows to a height of two meters, its branches develop in parallel, twist and turn, and return back and forth, covering two acres of land.When people prayed, they all pulled down the pine branches, tied them with red silk, and sent them away, saying: Oh my God!Looking up, the pine is like a cloud in the sky. On the stone bridge returning from Songyun Temple to Zhenxijie Village, eat Yuanlao Hai jelly. Yuanlaohai jelly is the soft jujube leaf jelly that Yuanlaohai, the head of Zhenxijie Village, once liked to eat. It is almost becoming a famous snack.Yuan Lao Hai has been dead for almost twenty years, and people still talk about him now, saying that he has a face like a donkey, and he always scolds people, but the more he scolds, the closer he gets. If he doesn't scold you, you are his enemy.

Originally, the expressway was going to dig a tunnel from Mount Mang to pass through Ying Town, but Yuan Laohai led hundreds of people to stop it.This is the biggest thing that Yuan Lao Hai has ever done in his life, and he did it successfully. When Yuan Laohai led hundreds of people to prevent the digging of the tunnel, the lice flew to Ying Town. Lice do not have wings, but they are hollowed out into a piece of skin, like wheat bran, and when they are blown by the wind, they fly. These lice came from Huayangping area.To build a large mining area, Qingchuan Street, Papaya Village, and Peijiabaozi in Huayangping had to be demolished. The old houses and walls of hundreds of years were knocked down, and the lice that got into the cracks of the walls became empty and flew into the air with the dust for a long time. It didn't disperse, and later the wind drifted over Mangshan Mountain.Floating over Mangshan Mountain to Yingzhen, it landed on the house, in the courtyard, and also landed on hundreds of people in front of the Mangshan slope.These skin lice are not dead, as soon as they land on the human body and adhere to the skin, they immediately turn from white to red, from small to large, and get into the folds of clothes and pants to mate and survive.

Yuan Laohai led people to besiege the construction team. The old people and women were all lying under the wheels of excavators and bulldozers, shouting: "Grind it, grind it, run it over your body?" !The rest of the people squeezed into the small sleeping car, layer by layer. The people were squeezed thin, and the car was squeezed to the point of being broken. Those outside were still pushing in, and those outside were still going in. squeeze.In this kind of chaos, the lice stick to the skin and suck blood. People don't feel itchy. Even if it itches, they just scratch it in their bosom or crotch, and squeeze it in again.

Next to the sleeping car was Yuan Heiyan, who shouted: "The urine bubble is squeezed, I want to pee!"No one paid attention, Yuan Heiyan urinated in his crotch, and his urethra scurried around under his feet like a snake.Changbu was still young at that time, able to get out of the human den, because he took off the sunglasses on the forehead of a person in the car window, and said: I will get it for you.Just took it and ran away. On the third day after the tunnel was blocked, Yuan Lao Hai celebrated his 70th birthday, and Zhenxijie Village held a hero banquet for him.In addition to the bear's paw and the donkey's whip, the hero's banquet also has a plate of live scorpions.The live scorpions are soaked in wine, and they are directly picked up and eaten with noodle sauce.No one dared to eat it, only Yuan Heiyan ate it.He stretched his chopsticks into the plate and pulled it, and the scorpion crawled up the chopsticks with its teeth and claws. He said: I will choose the big one!I picked up a big one and threw it into my mouth to chew. After chewing three times, I opened my eyes and said: Well, there is more skin and less meat.He swallowed with a stalk of the neck.Everyone toasted Yuan Laohai, took up bowls of corn wine, and said: You can live to be a hundred and twenty years old, and you will always be the village head for us!Yuan Heiyan ate the scorpion alone with his plate in his arms, at this moment he sneered.Everyone asked: What are you laughing at?Yuan Heiyan said: This is impossible!Everyone hated Yuan Heiyan for not being able to speak, even Yuan Lao Hai was annoyed, his face was so long.Yuan Heiyan took the wine and said, "I'll toast my grandfather!"In the Yuan family, Yuan Lao Hai is Yuan Heiyan's grandpa.Yuan Heiyan continued: How can my grandfather live to be one hundred and twenty years old?Can only live to one hundred and nineteen!Everyone froze for a moment, then laughed, Yuan Lao Hai laughed too, and cursed: You bastard!

However, Yuan Lao Hai was thrown into prison that night. To prevent the digging of the Mangshan Tunnel, a total of more than a dozen excavators, bulldozers, and trucks were destroyed, and a small sleeping car was completely smashed, injuring thirteen people.This was the biggest mob attack in the county that year, so both the town party secretary and the mayor were transferred from Ying Town. Yuan Lao Hai also lost his position as village chief, and was detained for six months for crimes.Five months and twenty-seven days later, someone in Yingzhen had already packed up a trampoline to pick him up from the prison, but he died, suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, and the body was brought back three days in advance.

But the expressway changed its route after all, and never passed through Yingzhen again. The pine tree in Songyun Temple was full of flowers in April of the second year.People in Ying Town have never seen this Hansong tree blooming before, maybe it bloomed before, it was very small, and they didn't pay attention, and suddenly the flowers bloomed so profusely, and the color was dark yellow, and one layer fell to the ground; One floor, then fall to the ground, the flowers will not retreat for half a month, the trees are on the ground, like gold is sprinkled. The Yuan family is very prosperous, but Yuan Lao Hai has no children, and he will die as soon as he dies.On the night of the New Year's Eve, lights are lit on the graves of the ancestors of every family, and those who do not light up are extinct.The people of Ying Town lit two red paper lanterns on Yuan Lao Hai's grave.

The feng shui of Ying Town has been preserved, and Ying Town has formed a concept for the whole county since then: Ying Town abolishes cadres. Ma Shuiping of the town government worked as a correspondent at the age of fifteen and worked until he was the deputy mayor. He is an old Yingzhen. He said: The cadres of Yingzhen, especially the secretary and the mayor, came here to do something bravely. In the end, either he made a mistake, or he was transferred away without any hesitation, and there was never a farewell party. Deputy Mayor Ma has a notebook, which records: When Secretary Zhao Guoyuan was transferred away in 1982, he used a rack cart to pull the luggage in the middle of the night.When we reached the entrance of the village on Zhendong Street, the director of the town party office caught up and retrieved a Maza stool from the shelf cart.

In 1989, Secretary Li Huang was expelled from the party and public office. At the age of fifty, he cried loudly. In 1994, the mayor Zhang Fahu was promoted to the county government as the deputy county magistrate. When he left Yingzhen, a group of people came to the town government to see him off, carrying eggs, fungus, walnuts, and the old lady with flowered insoles. Push it into his arms.As soon as he was transferred, someone complained that all this was secretly organized, and everyone who sent them off was paid 50 yuan, and those who gave things paid 150 yuan.Later Zhang Fahu was investigated and demoted.

In 1998, the door of Secretary Li Zhonggeng's office was wiped with human feces.At first, I suspected that the people in the town government compound did it. After half a month of investigation, they ruled it out, but who came to the town government compound to do it, and finally nothing happened. In 2000, Mayor Liu Erqiang was in office, and one night he came back from Xiangyu Village to go to the countryside. When he arrived at the stone bridge in Zhenxijie Village, he was hit by a black brick and was hospitalized for half a month.Liu Erqiang did not let the police station solve the case, nor did he mention it to anyone. In 2005, Secretary Huang Qiangui performed well. It was widely rumored that he was going to be the head of the county propaganda department. When he became the head of the propaganda department, he was a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee. Then more than a dozen letters of complaint were sent to the county party committee and the city party committee. .Three months later, he fell ill and was found to be liver cancer. Seven months later, he died in the hospital with his eyes open. Kong Xianren succeeded Huang Qiangui.Kong Xianren was cautious and safe during his tenure.He is from Yaopuping Village, Ying Township. After retiring, he moved his family to Zhenjie.When he used to walk on the town street, people on both sides of the street would eat at the door, knocking on the bowl and saying: "Have Secretary Kong eaten yet?"Kong Xianren stopped by someone's house, and he could eat it with a bowl, and he also gave him a pot of corn wine.After retirement, no one greets you.I ran into Wang Housheng on the street, and asked: What are you busy with, Housheng?Wang Housheng said: I am scolding you!He said: What do I want you to scold?Wang Housheng said: During your tenure, you flattered your superiors and bullied your subordinates, and you were corrupt. Why do you still live in the town street after you have retired? !Kong Xianren was so angry that he didn't go out any more, and asked his wife to buy meat from Yuan Heiyan's butcher's shop when he wanted to eat meat.Yuan Heiyan's balance is also very low. When Mayor Xu Gen, who worked with Kong Xianren, was transferred away, someone in the town street set off firecrackers to celebrate.Mayor Xu Gen left by car, and when he reached the Erdaoliang to the east of Ying Town, he stopped the car, turned around and urinated at Ying Town. The outside world said that Yingzhen abolished cadres, but the people of Yingzhen didn't think so. Wang Housheng said: Is there shit under the ass of the cadres? We are poor or poor. Are we not stupid? !Wang Housheng is an old street person in the town. Over the years, he has petitioned by himself and also written petition materials for others. He is already a celebrity in Yingzhen.The owner of the rice noodle casserole wondered: In Ying Town, people are used to calling the toilet the empress, not the toilet but the empress. So, the queen was born in the toilet?How can such an ugly name still show the mountains and dews? !The queen is proud of her life, you don't care about my name, you have to know that I am a celebrity now.So from time to time, when eating rice noodle casserole, he was asked to pay the bill first, and the boss drew a line on the wall of the store, one for one casserole, one for one casserole, another for another, and nine for him.Wang Housheng suffered from a toothache again, so she went to Cao Jiujiu's dental clinic to have her teeth extracted, and said: "Remember the account!"Cao Jiujiu pulled out Wang Housheng's teeth with large pliers, and while clamping the teeth, he said, "Ha, Wang Housheng, you're so stupid, you've turned people into characters!"Yo, I pulled it out wrong.Cao Jiujiu pulled out the queen's good tooth, so he had to pull out the sick tooth again. Since then, the queen has lost two front teeth, and her speech is leaking.But what Cao Jiujiu said is right, people should live people into characters. There are too many people in Ying Town who can be called characters. Besides this Queen, there are others, such as Yuanlaohai from Zhenxijie Village, Yuan Heiyan from Yuanlaohai's clan, Zhang Plaster from Shiqiaohou Village, Nan Wang Suifeng from Hecun, Zhu Zhaocai from Zhenzhongjie Village, including Kong Xianren, Deputy Mayor Ma, Niu Er from Getiao Village, and of course cloth changer and labourer from Zhendongjie Village.Chen Liezi, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine at Tongqingtang, expressed emotion: There are so many characters in Ying Town, with a long history, Ying Town may have even bigger characters!After lame Chen lamented, people were optimistic about Kong Xianren at first, but Kong Xianren was not good enough. After Mayor Xu Gen was transferred, they all placed their hopes on Ma Shuiping, saying that he would change from deputy mayor to mayor. If he became mayor, his future would be limitless. Well, this means that Ma Level is also high-spirited. When he was drunk, he urinated in the town government compound and said, "Look, a peony will grow here in the future!"And Ma Shuipi has always been the deputy mayor, and the place where he urinates only grows a dog pee moss.It wasn't until Yuan Tianliang of Zhenxijie Village became the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government that Yingzhen exclaimed: This is a big shot! After Yuan Tianliang became the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, he became a business card of Ying Town, and legends about Yuan Tianliang spread everywhere. It is said that Yuan Tianliang is the nephew of Yuan Laohai's family. The fifth generation of his family is a single heir, and his seniority is high. Yuan Heiyan and they still call him uncle.It is said that the expressway did not pass through Yingzhen, thanks to not passing through Yingzhen, this made Yuan Tianliang have a clear view of the mountains and rivers, which made him extremely spectacular.It is said that any large project, such as building a bridge or building a road and embankment, will always involve casualties. This is called offering sacrifices with human heads.Then Yuan Tianliang will come out, and Yuan Laohai's imprisonment and sudden death is God's will.It was said that Yuan Tianliang was the first college student in Ying Town. In the year he was taking the entrance examination, swans flew over the river beach, and every night they were very noisy.It is said that Yuan Tianliang worked in the Provincial Museum of Literature and History after graduation. Because of his ability to write articles and organizational skills, he soon became the curator. After becoming the curator, he wrote more articles. tall.There are people in the world who can write books but cannot become officials, and there are people who can become officials but cannot write books. Yuan Tianliang has the best of both worlds.It is said that Yuan Tianliang has become the deputy secretary-general of the provincial government, and the leaders of the county must visit him whenever they enter the provincial capital.When we arrived at the gate of the provincial government, the guard with a gun on his back refused to let me in, saying: We are from the hometown of Secretary-General Yuan!The door opened, and the guard saluted. Of course, what makes Yingzhen people feel warm is that Yuan Tianliang has been in the provincial capital for so many years. work. There are many stories about doing things for my hometown, among which there are three most telling ones. One is that Yuan Tianliang contacted a charity organization in Hong Kong to donate 800,000 yuan to Yingzhen Primary School, and asked the town government to take some pictures of the school and send them a look.The town government sent people to take pictures of the beautiful places, but they still took pictures from their backs.People looked at the photos and said: This school is not bad!did not agree to donate.People in Ying Town scolded the town government for not being able to do things. This is asking for money from others, not reporting to the superiors to show their achievements!Yuan Tianliang had no choice but to contact another boss and give the school 300,000 yuan. The school built a teaching building. When naming it, the boss said that it should not be named after him, but his wife's name, and it became the "Erni Building". One is that Yuan Tianliang allocated 100,000 yuan through the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office to reinforce the embankment in front of the town, but after two years, the town government has not added a single stone to the embankment, nor planted a single tree.The county magistrate was a little angry when he found out about this, but because of Yuan Tianliang's face, he didn't pursue it any further, and warned: "Then you just pray that there will be no floods this summer. If there is a flood, the embankments and dams will be destroyed, and I will not be able to protect you!"It rained heavily that summer, but no floods occurred. Mayor Xu Gen said he wanted to thank God, and kowtowed in the muddy water. One is the reconstruction of the national highway that circles Mang Mountain, from a secondary highway to a first-class highway, which is also the result of Yuan Tianliang's accommodation with the Provincial Highway Department.Therefore, during the opening ceremony of the first-class highway, Yuan Tianliang was invited back to cut the ribbon. Yuan Tianliang left Yingzhen for a month, and the people of Yingzhen are still talking about Yuan Tianliang, saying that Yuan Tianliang is thin or thin, and the two decrees under his nose are very long, which is the appearance of a high official.It is said that Yuan Tianliang is short and walks in the horoscope without any hurry, which is a noble temperament. Pandas walk in the horoscope, and pandas are national treasures.It is said that Yuan Tianliang likes to eat cigarettes, and there are always smoke in his hand. He is a dragon, and the cloud follows the dragon, and the smoke is the cloud. People from Yingzhen said so, scratching their hands in their arms from time to time, or taking the cigarette pole and poking it down from the back collar, or rubbing their backs against the corners of trees, door frames and walls, because they always Has lice.Lice is the oldest kind of bug, and the people of Ying Town are used to it. They often do these actions inadvertently, and don't pay much attention to them after doing them, as if they coughed while doing their work.So, they continued to talk about Yuan Tianliang, and then changed the subject unknowingly, talking about the weather, the harvest, and the Wumazi spears of the town government.The lice were still biting, and I was no longer satisfied with scratching, poking, and rubbing, so I reached into my clothes to pick up the lice. They are very good at touching lice. They feel itching on a certain part of their body, and it seems that something has crawled over it. They dipped their fingers in their mouths, and quietly entered their clothes, very quickly. As soon as I pressed it, I pressed a small fleshy bump, kneaded it, and when it came out it was a lice, and put it on the stone in front of me.You pinch one out and put it on a rock, and he pinches one out and puts it on a rock.There were already many lice on the stone, and they suddenly discovered that the lice had different colors, black lice, white lice, and a kind of gray lice. The lice in Yingzhen have always been white, even the lice in the hair and the lice in the crotch are all white, and the lice that fly over from Huayangping are all black in color, and there are many white lice and black lice. Lice, how come there are gray lice again?Thinking about it, they were sure that the gray lice was a new species of lice that was a hybrid of white lice and black lice!So, they felt strange but not afraid, and laughed and said: The mating of a horse and a donkey gave birth to a mule. Is this gray louse still a louse? !Cao Laoba, who runs a grocery store, said: Of course it's lice!Everyone also thinks that gray lice are quite beautiful.
