It was a very sad day. On that day, a major accident happened in Hujiabao. That was the fourth year of building the "New Village".In the morning, Sun Xiaoyou and Liu Qinghe went out together, and they went to work talking and laughing.By noon, one was dead and the other was stupid. That year, Sun Xiaoyou was only sixteen years old, and Liu Qinghe was only a little over seventeen. Sun Xiaoyou was a white boy, and Liu Qinghe was a black boy. The two played together since childhood.I am older, and I went to school in the same class, which has always been very good.In the morning, before going out, Liu Qinghe said to Sun Xiaoyou: "Yes, there is a hornet's nest at the west end of the orchard. It looks like a pot, shall we poke it?" Sun Xiaoyou said: "I dare not, it can sting Dead." Liu Qinghe said: "Look at your guts. Let's stab it at noon." Sun Xiaoyou said: "What if it wants to sting people?" Liu Qinghe said: "You just watch, I'll go Stabbing, death is also my death. Is this okay?"

Who knew that this sentence would become a prophecy! Liu Qinghe didn't poke the hornet's nest.That morning Liu Qinghe and Sun Xiaoyou worked together at the sawmill on the construction site.There is a large machine more than ten meters long in the sawmill, which is called a band saw. This band saw was approved by the people above Hu Tiancheng.Liu Qinghe and Sun Xiaoyou followed the craftsman Liu Quan to help carry the wood on the sawmill.Afterwards, some people said that at that time, Liu Quan shouldn't have urinated, it would be fine if he didn't.Liu Quan said, the two of them have been working here, and I also pee every day, not just at that time.If I had known earlier, I wouldn't pee if I was suffocated to death.Just when Liu Quan went to pee, an accident happened.

At that time, what I was sawing happened to be a piece of old miscellaneous wood, and there were many "friction marks" on the wood. I couldn't move after sawing, because the saw teeth were caught by the "friction marks" on the wood.In the past, at this time, it was necessary to clear the saw, or push this side, pull that side, and the wood will pass.So, Liu Qinghe and Sun Xiaoyou were as usual, one pushing here and the other pulling there.But Liu Qinghe obviously pushed harder (according to his mother later, he ate an extra yellow noodle pancake that morning), when he pushed here, he felt as if there was a magnetic force on the wood, and he After pushing it, there was a sound of "嗞——吱!", and a violent rain of blood suddenly flew in the sky, and the blood rain rolls and all the minced meat flew to Sun Xiaoyou who was opposite at once!At the moment when Sun Xiaoyi was dazed, he saw Liu Qinghe standing in front of him. At this time, Liu Qinghe was still a complete person. There was only a straight red line on Liu Qinghe's body, and the red line hit Liu Qinghe. Right in the heart of Qinghe!Sun Xiaoyou opened his mouth wide and looked at Liu Qinghe in a daze, wondering, hey, why did he come here? !He seemed to remember that Liu Qinghe opened his mouth slightly.At this time, Sun Xiaoyou said something very stupid, he said: "Hey, what are you doing here?" Then, as soon as his words fell, the body slowly separated, and the body split in two Half, fell in front of Sun Xiaoyou!

The day is very sunny.In the blue sky, there are white tile clouds floating, and the tile clouds are lined up very neatly, as if a team is walking forward.There was a sound coming from a distance, it was someone in the field yelling at the animals, and the whip whipped out bursts of crisp rhyme. Under the blue sky and white clouds, Sun Xiaoyou, covered in blood, stood there stupidly, like a wooden man! When Liu Quan, the craftsman, came out of the toilet wearing his trouser belt, he panicked all at once.He saw that Sun Xiaoyou became a celebrity!As he walked, he said, "What's the matter? What's the matter?!" When he walked to the saw shed, his legs suddenly became limp, and he was like a puddle of mud!He opened his mouth and couldn't speak, his whole body was shaking like chaff, when he slipped to the ground, he heard Sun Xiaoyou murmur: "Bumblebee."

Then, I heard people running like a horse team in the village street... Someone shouted: "My God, something happened!" The craftsman Liu Quan was brought to Hu Tiancheng by the village cadres, and he could not walk anymore.When Hu Tiancheng heard the shocking news, he turned his back and said, "Let the militia look at the scene first, and don't let anyone in." After saying this, he walked towards the bed Two steps, twisted body, and lay down on the bed.The village cadres panicked like ants on a hot pot, yelling in disorder: "My God! What should I do? What should I do?!" up.At this time, Hu Tiancheng said sharply: "Get out! Get out!" After hearing this, all the cadres withdrew one by one.None of the cadres who left the door dared to leave, they all stood outside the door, just waiting for Hu Tiancheng to make up his mind.

However, one hour passed, two hours passed, and Hu Tiancheng was still lying on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep.Someone leaned on the window and peeked secretly, and heard his snoring! At this moment, Liu Shuzhi, the deputy party secretary of the village, jumped out.Liu Shuzhi was Liu Qinghe's uncle, and of course he was in a hurry when something happened to his nephew.Standing in the yard, he kept walking back and forth, stomping his feet and shouting loudly: "This is not acceptable, this is not acceptable. Human life is a matter of heaven! How can this be done?!" Some people said: "Such a big thing happened, let Tian Cheng think about it."

Liu Shuzhi stiffened his neck and yelled impatiently: "Leave him alone, someone else!" This sentence was too serious, and none of the cadres dared to take his words... It was not until late in the evening that Hu Tiancheng slowly sat up from the bed.The cadres rushed in from the outside immediately. Hu Tiancheng took a look at Liu Shuzhi and said lightly: "Look at you, you are all cadres. If something happens, you panic like this? Panicking will solve the problem? Hold your breath." At this moment, Hu Tiancheng seemed to have thought everything through, but he didn't say anything.He just said to everyone: "Everyone, tell me, is there any problem here?"

Hearing what Hu Tiancheng said, everyone started to talk about it. Someone immediately said: "Yes, there is a problem. I think there is a problem! I remembered that Liu Qinghe is a descendant of a martyr. His uncle died on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. I'm afraid this is revenge, this is revenge!" Hu Tiancheng said slowly: "If there is a problem, it is a political incident." Liu Shuzhi said in a hurry: "Political incidents. Bind people!" As soon as this was said, the faces of the cadres changed, and they all echoed each other and said, "Yes, yes, I think it's revenge. Isn't Budai a bad guy..."

Some even said: "Yes, otherwise, why would people be split in half?!" Someone muttered in a low voice: "This, this, can't be regarded as an 'event', can it?" Someone immediately said: "Why is it not considered an 'incident'? Everyone is split in half. If this is not an 'incident', what is an 'incident'?" At this time, Hu Tiancheng glanced at everyone, and said flatly: "Notify the Public Security Bureau, let them send people to investigate the scene." Someone asked: "Then, what should Xiaoyou do?" Hu Tiancheng said: "Let the militia look at it first, and wait for the police to come."

When the militiamen tied up Sun Xiaoyou with ropes, Xiaoyou was still sitting in front of Liu Qinghe who was split in two, and he kept saying over and over again: "Bumblebee. Wasp." That same night, a voice spread throughout the village, and it came from Liu Shuzhi's mouth: something serious happened in Hujiabao!This is deliberate revenge.Think about it, one is the child of bad elements, and the other is the offspring of martyrs, splitting people in half!See, I will definitely not spare him lightly... When a suspense is raised, the nature of plain people is revealed.Here, once the doubt is established, people throw away the original suspense.People firmly grasp the doubts and "follow the vines".Following the clues has become the way of thinking of plain people.

On the plains, labor is single and repetitive, and people's way of thinking is becoming more and more simple and linear day by day.Here, people's thoughts are ground into a rope by labor.Therefore, "cause" is rarely talked about, and what people repeatedly talk about is "effect".For example, when a man marries a woman, people never ask how the woman got married, they just say that he married a woman.This is the "fruit".Further down, people will say that this woman gave birth to a child, which is still a "fruit".Here "cause" is irrelevant, and "cause" has instead become a kind of joke and humor in people's mouth.In terms of fertility, people's spoken language has become "gan", "nong", and "day", which are the life vocabulary of plain people. Of course, when encountering a major event involving human life, people value it, but what people value is still "fruit".What surprised people the most was "split in half".So, the question also appeared, isn't this revenge? ! In the middle of the night, Xiuya came to find Hu Tiancheng.She went into the hut, and without saying a word, she knelt down silently on the ground. Hu Tiancheng glanced at her and said, "Get up." Xiuya didn't get up, Xiuya was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Save my child, only you can save him." Hu Tiancheng said: "This matter is too big, I don't care if I say it." Xiuya cried and said, "You save him." Hu Tiancheng said, "That's a life." Xiuya said: "You save him, he didn't do it on purpose." Hu Tiancheng said, "Did Bu Dai ask you to come?" Xiuya said, "No. This is my son." Hu Tiancheng said, "He's also Bu Dai's son." Xiuya said bitterly: "This is your fault, not the child." Going down, Hu Tiancheng fell silent.He was silent for a long time, and then murmured: "Hujiabao should have produced a martyr..." Xiu Ya said again: "Tian Cheng, for the sake of many years, please save my child." Hu Tiancheng turned his face away.At this time, a huge black shadow was reflected on the wall. The black shadow stood silently on the wall. After a long time, the black shadow moved and said, "It seems that I owe you." Xiuya just knelt there, she didn't say anything, just knelt down... Hu Tiancheng turned around and said, "Go back." Xiuya still didn't move. Hu Tiancheng finally said: "I promise you." Xiuya stood up silently, looked at Hu Tiancheng, and seemed to want to say something.But Hu Tiancheng waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Bu Dai that he owes me... a life." Xiuya took two steps out in a daze, but suddenly turned around, put one hand on the skirt of her clothes, and said silently: "Are you still taking it off?" At this moment, Hu Tiancheng suddenly froze.After a long time, he seemed to understand what she meant.In an instant, his heart went cold!He found that he didn't feel anything, and his whole body seemed to be empty.He, when did he become an empty gun? !He had waited so many years, waited so long with patience, he had been looking forward to that day.However, the divine power accumulated in his body for a long time, the flame-like feeling suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason... Hu Tiancheng stood there motionless. For a long time, he didn't say a word, he didn't even know What should I say.At this time, his face was condensed into a piece of black iron! After a long time, Hu Tiancheng sighed, waved his hands and said, "Go." The next day, when the people from the Public Security Bureau inspected the scene.Lao Qin, deputy director of the County Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation, said to Hu Tiancheng: "Old Huwa, under the current situation, there are two ways to deal with this matter. One is to define it as an 'incident'. If the person is taken away, the sentence is the death penalty. The other is defined as an 'accident', and in that case, we don't care..." Although the difference is only one word, this word is extremely important!Lao Qin and Hu Tiancheng are old acquaintances, so there is something in those words.Under such circumstances, Lao Qin had already made his words very clear. So, Hu Tiancheng said: "Old Qin, everyone is heartbroken when something like this happens. If you ask me, the children have been playing together since they were young, and they don't have any hatred. Let's just 'accident'." Lao Qin repeated: "Accident?" Hu Tiancheng said, "Accident." Afterwards, when people finally came to their senses, the handling of this matter had won Hu Tiancheng a great reputation.The villagers said time and time again that it was Tian Cheng who had an idea!After I heard about it, I lay on the bed for a while, but I didn't panic at all.If there are people, I'm afraid they will be scared to death!But people took it easy and took care of the matter.Others said, God, one word is the difference of one word!Tian Cheng saved a young man's life... However, no one knew that on that night, Xiuya begged Hu Tiancheng. Ten days later, Liu Shuzhi's deputy branch secretary was removed.The cause was a row of corn...
