Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Eight

Xiao Mingchuan got up very early today, he walked out of the kiln yard with a leisurely pace, his chest expanded.A cool smell penetrated into his nostrils, he couldn't help shivering, and raised his eyes to look over there.Across the road, not far from the kiln yard, there is a large empty field. He knows that it is a place for slaughtering cattle and sheep and trading cattle and sheep. He used to go for a walk in his free time, but he never saw it with his own eyes. Kill cattle and sheep.Xiao Mingchuan sniffed, and smelled a faint smell of blood again, then crossed the road and walked towards the empty field with both arms slung.There are a lot of people and animals in the empty field, and the trading scene can be picked up by looking up.A few tax collectors in uniform glanced here and there, wandering unhurriedly.On the northwest corner of the empty field, Xiao Mingchuan saw a middle-aged man with a bald head, a sharp knife in his mouth, and two smoky yellow front teeth, which at first glance looked like two gemstones embedded in the back of the knife. Leaning on a red motorcycle, Xiao Mingchuan guessed that this man was a butcher, so he walked over.Next, Xiao Mingchuan witnessed several people around the butcher trade a lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the ground, some for the skin, some for the meat, and some for the water.The lamb seller, with a coarse cloth flower scarf on her head, handed five yuan to the butcher with a somewhat distressed expression.The butcher collected the money, walked over, touched the lamb with his right foot, then bent down to lift the lamb up, weighed it, and there were a few startled bleats from the sheep's mouth, and Xiao Mingchuan's body tightened.The butcher glanced at Xiao Mingchuan, but Xiao Mingchuan didn't pay attention. At this moment, he felt that the lamb in the butcher's hand was like a huge mass of fine cotton balls, bang—— burst into the butcher's thick palms, white and soft.The butcher groaned, the muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times, and then with a wave of his hands, he threw the big fluffy cotton ball onto a low wooden table at his feet.Xiao Mingchuan's heart trembled, his heels softened, and his hands clenched into fists.

That wooden case, in Xiao Mingchuan's eyes, is simple and strong, perhaps due to the long-term soaking in blood, the original color is hard to find, only the four wooden ridges supporting the ground still have fresh blood stains.Xiao Mingchuan stared at the knife in the butcher's hand. The knife moved skillfully and nimbly. Before he could see the way, a bright red color suddenly appeared from under the sheep's neck.When the blood pooled on the ground, it was really like a piece of red silk soaked in water, swaying in the wind with difficulty.Next, Xiao Mingchuan discovered to his surprise that the life of the lamb did not end in the eyes glistening with tears, nor did it stop on the lips that were no longer closed, but disappeared on the four spasmodic hooves.The butcher smiled at Xiao Mingchuan, lowered his head, swirled the tip of the knife lightly on the upper part of the lamb's left leg, and then split his own two legs. In a half-squat position, he pointed his mouth at the place where the knife was just cut, Blow a mouthful of air with sound along the slashed leg of the lamb, and blow it into the body of the dead lamb.This situation made Xiao Mingchuan feel a pain in his heart.After the pain was over, he subconsciously pulled the fate of the lamb to himself, thinking that he was almost a lamb among the crowd, and that he might be fatally stabbed one day.Xiao Mingchuan's mood was suddenly depressed, he touched the back of his neck, lowered his eyes, looked at his toes and left in a resentment.

Shortly after breakfast, Xiao Mingchuan heard Han Xueren's order to resume work from Captain Lin through the walkie-talkie. He also told Captain Lin to call 12 if he encountered any trouble. 12 is the code name of Han Xueren's walkie-talkie.Xiao Mingchuan thought, Han Xueren has personally acted out and put himself aside. Could it be that after one night he had a brilliant way to turn big things into small ones?Xiao Mingchuan raised his head and smiled empty-handedly.At ten o'clock, Captain Lin called 12, saying that the disabled people in the village had started another incident, and the village party secretary was also beating drums on the construction site.Han Xueren said that he would rush over immediately.Xiao Mingchuan stood in the yard, snapped his fingers, and kept praying in his heart, Mr. Han, this time you can give Shiyapan Village a few dollars!As if this prayer had worked, the gloom on Xiao Mingchuan's face dissipated, his heart was no longer empty, and he called out to Liu Haitao at the top of his voice.The two squatted under the kiln window, basking in the warm sunshine, playing backgammon.

Liu Haitao said in a long voice, Xiao Chu, do you still have time to play chess?I think Han Jushou is here to freeze you if he doesn't go back to Chexi.Xiao Mingchuan asked nonchalantly, is that right?Where did you see it?Liu Haitao said, intuition, my intuition, usually hits the nail on the head.Xiao Mingchuan simply sat down on the ground and said, playing chess, don't talk about nonsense.After lunch, Xiao Mingchuan was flipping through magazines in the cave to relieve boredom, when the head of Shiyapan Village led a group of people into the cave.Xiao Mingchuan came out and saw that seven or eight of them were strong men, and all of them were sullen.Xiao Mingchuan went wrong somewhere, didn't Han Xueren already go to Shiyapan Village?He stabilized his turbulent heart, smiled and talked to the village chief.A man with small eyes pointed at Xiao Mingchuan and said, "Bastard, you're a scumbag!"After finishing speaking, he was about to rush over, but was stopped by the village chief in time.Xiao Mingchuan knew this man, he was the youngest son of the old branch secretary, named Dagui.Xiao Mingchuan stared at the village chief and asked, village chief, what's going on?The head of the village head drooped down, and he said in a mournful voice, "Xiao Coordinator, if you don't help us, you won't help us. How can you fool people? He even made a condom and asked the township police to take away the old branch secretary. What are you calling us?" It depends on your humanity.Xiao Mingchuan's face turned pale all of a sudden. He didn't expect Han Xueren to resolve the conflict in Shiyapan Village in this way?Xiao, if you don't bring him back to us, let's see if we don't smash your head!Dagui gritted his teeth and said.A few fellow men yelled fiercely.The village chief waved his hand violently, and said to the shouting men, don't open your mouth when the dog yawns!What shall we do?What are you doing?We are here to beg Xiao Xie to come to the village to talk, why can't we talk about human feelings?Xiao Mingchuan choked up his throat, bit his lips and said, Village Chief, how can I explain to you... I can't continue, the grievance in my heart is surging up and down.

Liu Haitao, who was watching the wind from the sidelines, had no choice but to stand up and help, saying, the village head, the arrest of the old branch secretary has nothing to do with Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu was dismissed by the leader last night, this matter must be fucked Others are doing artificial insemination behind their backs.The village chief didn't understand the meaning of artificial insemination for a while, so he glanced at Dagui, who glared at Liu Haitao and said, don't blow the light bulb in your mouth, light it for him.Liu Haitao glared, took a step forward, Xiao Mingchuan rolled his eyes at him, and said to the village chief, Village chief, I know what I'm saying now, you won't listen, if I were you, you would still call Xiao Mingchuan a bastard.How about this, village chief, you go back first, I'll go to the village right now, if no one comes out, I'll go to the counties and cities, and I'll give it up!The village chief squatted down, panting heavily.Xiao Mingchuan's body also trembled because of his excessive impulsiveness.Liu Haitao looked fiercely, still finding fault with the men.Xiao Mingchuan gave the village chief a fixed look, then waved to Liu Haitao and said, let's go!The men all looked at the village chief, who buried his face and wrote something on the ground with his fingers.

When the desert king arrived in the village, Xiao Mingchuan, who was about to put down his face and fight it out, showed the director of the police station without saying a few words, and the director gave him face and asked him to take the old branch secretary away.Xiao Mingchuan didn't expect things to be done so lightly, it felt like a dream, and he couldn't find an excuse to get angry.On the way back to the village, Xiao Mingchuan and the old branch secretary sat in the back seat.When the car got on the dirt road, Xiao Mingchuan, who had been silent all this time, was about to speak when the old branch secretary opened his mouth first, and said with a gentle expression, Xiao coordinates, don't say anything.Xiao Mingchuan smacked his lips, and the old branch secretary glanced at the back of Liu Haitao's head, and slightly pasted it to Xiao Mingchuan's side, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Coordination, let me tell you something bright, there is a caring person in our office who secretly told us, arrest us, It's not that we want to subdue the law, but to play tricks on you, Xiao Xie. Someone in your unit is fighting with you.Xiao Mingchuan looked out of the car window, and asked after a long time, old party secretary, have you had lunch yet?The old branch secretary wiped his mouth and said, if we tell you what we had for lunch again, you will believe 100% what we just said.For lunch, we ate six meat buns and drank two big bowls of egg soup.You are so good, if the police are playing tricks on us, what should we eat?Hearing the old party secretary's words, Xiao Mingchuan felt chills for a while, because he naturally thought of Chen Laizi from Liuhezi village because of the old party secretary's "catch and let go".One end is soft and the other is hard, which made him truly appreciate the special role of some law enforcement officers in this barren land.The old party secretary said in a tone of self-blame, "Xiao Xiexia, it's all our fault. I don't do things well, I don't talk well, and I'm tired of you. I'm sorry for you, Xiao Xie.Xiao Mingchuan choked up and said, the old party secretary... the old party secretary said, hey, people are rotten, their bones are crispy, and their tendons are loose.When we enter the village, let's toast the baby with a few cups of wine and apologize.

The sound of "baby" broke Xiao Mingchuan's heart, and he looked away from the old branch secretary.The Desert King jolted a bit, the old branch secretary swayed, and leaned under the seat, Xiao Mingchuan had quick eyesight, and hugged the old branch secretary.
