Chapter 30 29 Conspiracy (2)

He didn't meet any militiamen along the way, so Ren Guozhong slipped into the village along the way and returned to the elementary school.Teacher Liu is sitting under the lamp correcting students' composition papers.He took a look at the thick pile on his desk, but he didn't bother to look at it, so he went to look for old man Wu who was cooking, and the old man also went to Nantou to hold the Poor Peasants' Association.He felt that the room was stuffy, so he ran to the kitchen to scoop up a ladle of cold water and drank it.He went back to the room where he and Mr. Liu lived together, Mr. Liu was still sitting there, reading the papers wholeheartedly, and he didn't even bother to read the papers, so he just lay on the bed alone and lost his mind.The mosquitoes also seemed to be against him, humming around his body and attacking him by surprise from time to time.He was very lighthearted, even proud, because he thought he had just done a good deed, that he had sympathized with someone, comforted him, and helped him.Li Zijun was very close to him in the past, but now he is in a pitiful situation, and everyone in the village wants to use him for surgery.He has more than one hundred acres of land, which makes many poor people jealous.He was so frightened that he dared not go home.Rich people usually bully him, but at this time they avoid him even more.He doesn't have any friends, he just needs friendship, but at this time, Ren Guozhong, a primary school teacher, stretched out his hand to him, how can he not be moved!Ren Guozhong thought that he had accomplished a great thing, and he really wanted someone to know and speak well of him, but when he returned to school, he couldn't find anyone to talk to, only Teacher Liu.Teacher Liu has never graduated from a rural normal school. Sometimes he corrects the papers and writes other characters first, so he cannot do without a dictionary.However, he would flatter Li Chang. Li Chang always said good things about him, looked up to him, and always came to him for business. He was from the same village, so of course he was even more honored.He was almost forty years old, his son was about to marry a wife, and he was so eager to learn how to play the bully whip. He was ridiculously ugly when he twisted it, but he was playing the flute and playing the flute.Ren Guozhong just didn't like it, and often wanted to leave, thinking: What if I walked away to see them?But he never really left. Where did he go to find something to do?Had to stay here reluctantly.The two seldom talked on weekdays, and only when Ren Guozhong felt too lonely and forgot the old guy's stubbornness, they would talk to him a few words, but in the end they always talked too much, and the two had nothing to say.Now it's time for Ren Guozhong to talk to someone again, but he can't say these things to him, even if the old guy finds out and sues the village cadres.So he hated him even more, especially when Ren Guozhong felt that the old guy didn't seem to be depressed at all.

Ren Guozhong is so lonely in this village, like duckweed without roots, helpless.But he was reluctant to leave here because he felt that although Nuanshuitun didn't meet his expectations, there were things that attracted him more than anything else.He is already twenty-five or six years old, he has read some eclectic romance novels, but he has no wife yet.He very much hopes to plant flowers and settle down in Nuanshuitun, and he also believes that a certain force is helping him, which encourages his fantasies. He lay on the kang and turned over and over again, smoking a cigarette and another.Teacher Liu always writes things, and sometimes he still thinks aloud.He couldn't bear it anymore, so he sat up from the bed, walked back and forth in the yard, and finally slipped out the door quietly. The water in the street seemed cool, and the wind was blowing with the rustling of locust trees. He suddenly saw a The figure swayed there for a while, he hesitated, but asked: "Who is it?" The figure turned to him and asked politely, "Is Mr. Ren still awake?" It turned out to be a militiaman, He carried an earthen gun across his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "Hey! The meeting is late these two days." Ren Guozhong knew him, so he also said: "This is hard work for you." He quickly said: "Myself There is still something to say about it, it should be, Mr. Ren, you can rest." He said and went south.Ren Guozhong stood still for a while, then turned east and north and walked hurriedly.

He didn't go far, and he stood at the door of a house. The door was already locked, but he only knocked lightly twice, and then he heard someone come out to open the door. It was very dark in the porch, and a woman asked in a low voice: " Is it Mr. Ren?" Knowing that this was Qian Wengui's wife, he also asked in a low voice, "Is Second Uncle Qian at home?" He walked in without waiting for her answer. The light from the upper room came from the window, and the courtyard was covered with a hazy gray.From under the shadow of the oleander tree, Qian Wengui came out to meet him in a silk blouse, and let him back into the shadow, saying, "Just sit here, it's cool here." There are two low stools and a kang table, and the tea on the kang table is also cold.Ren Guozhong saw that only the upper room on the right had a light, and the rest were all black, so he looked at the room with the light carefully, and when he heard the sound of sighing in that room, he didn't feel it. A layer of doubt floated up, and a feeling of uneasiness.

The old woman came over to make a pot of tea, took another low stool, sat down on it, and asked quietly: "Did Mr. Ren hear any news? How can the village make a fuss this time?" "How can other people tell us what's going on? The son-in-law of yours is a security guard, don't you know? The director of the peasant association is also your relative—" He didn't continue, but he listened attentively again, looking at that There is still some noise in the room with lights. "Our son-in-law said—" Before the old woman could finish her sentence, Qian Wengui agreed ahead of her: "Brother Ren, we finally agree with each other. If there is anything we can say to you, both brothers and sisters agree." If you are not lucky, we have to be more cautious in everything."

"Second uncle!" Ren Guozhong remembered that many people had silent hatred for Qian Wengui, so he said, "I'm also worried about you. Some people in the village are talking about you." He even realized that Qian Wengui Very uncomfortable, this is an expression he has never seen before. "I'm afraid, of course I'm not afraid," Qian Wengui narrowed his eyes into a slit again, and his gaze flew to the left and then to the right through the slit.Whenever he wanted to pretend to be calm and deal with things well, he always had such an expression.He then snorted and continued: "Hmph! That kid Zhang Yumin can take us down!" He then twirled his few untwisted beard tips with two fingers, and laughed.

At this time, Ren Guozhong also imitated Qian Wengui's usual voice: "Of course you are not afraid, and you are a member of the resistance, so let them go." "Yes," Qian Wengui immediately returned to his normal attitude. He looked at the young man sitting opposite him under the shadows—this old primary school teacher who had long been his prisoner—but he was more concerned. Said: "We have wanted to persuade you a long time ago, don't worry about other people's affairs. I heard that you went to Bai Yin'er again today. It is a den of disputes. When the wind and rain are so precarious, others can't hide in time; let's talk about Jiang Shirong. Boy, he is a cunning head. If he doesn’t do it well, he will sell you. Look, how much money he made, starting from scratch, who relied on it? Now he has forgotten the source of water, and the grass on the wall is falling on both sides. Bai Yin'er is a woman after all, what can she tell you?"

"Bai Yin'er said that Jiang Shirong still owes her tens of thousands of dollars. If he doesn't pay it back quickly, she will say nothing on that day, break up with him, and stop talking nonsense for him." Qian Wengui's heart skipped a beat, but he replied calmly, "Let's say, can this kind of woman work together? What exactly is Jiang Shirong planning?" Ren Guozhong understood that Qian Wengui had instigated him to contact some landlords, but he pretended to persuade him not to go. He thought to himself: "Don't you believe us? Seeing how careful you are, our Ren Guozhong is not the name. A man of integrity."

Ren Guozhong also understands that Qian Wengui has too many enemies, but he thinks it doesn't matter, his son-in-law and his relatives will help him.He also understands that Qian Wengui is panicking. Although he pretends to be indifferent, he is very happy. He hopes that Qian Wengui is in a bit of a hurry so that he can show his righteousness and get some unexpected gains from it. .Sometimes he also understands that this person is not easy to mess with, and there is no benefit in following him, but he can't find another friend, not to mention he has other plans. He also told Qian Wengui about Li Zijun's situation.Qian Wengui threatened him again, saying that if Li Zijun really went to find tenants for activities and leaked it, it would hurt him, and he should try to get rid of the relationship; Li Zijun; he said a lot of bad things about Li Zijun to him. He said that Li Zijun looked down on others because he was a teacher graduate. Li Zijun also said that Ren Guozhong was not a teacher. In the past, many policemen from big townships and some hooligans from the secret service team accompanied him to ask for money, and if they won him, they dragged him to Zhuolu County to go clubbing.He flattered others like his father, mother and father, lost all his money, and sold houses and land, but he didn't know how to face himself.When he was the chief of Jia, even Qian Wengui once sent a tolerance.Qian Wengui said he didn't have time and didn't want to go, and he also said "as long as your family's long-term workers", Qian Wengui told him that he didn't want to go at all, and asked him how much he wanted.It was only later that Li Zijun realized that he had been confused for a while, and came to apologize.He also said that Li Zijun has become stingy now, he only eats millet when he keeps people eating, pretends to be poor, and hides white flour and rice with his wife.Ren Guozhong also remembered how many times he ate at his house, and they only cooked some vegetarian dishes with wine, and didn't even fry an egg, and they still had chickens.

At this time, there was another quarrel in the house, and Ren Guozhong wanted to go over and have a look.Qian Wengui knew what he meant, so he explained to him: "It's nothing, just our niece, who is old and has no husband's family. I can't find a good one in this village. She can't be quiet if she stays at home all the time. I said a long time ago that as long as people have talents, they can do without wealth. Now it’s not a delay, but it’s not too small. I’m telling you because you’re one of your own. Someone came to mention the director of the peasant association. How can this happen? We ourselves The eldest daughter married a security officer, we are already unhappy, is this a lifelong event! Don't look at the village cadres in front of you, you have to think about the past, what was criticized in the past; As soon as the "Central" army comes, this group of people still don't know what will happen to them. At that time, they should come back crying; the heart called the elders will not be able to get over it. If you see anyone who is of the same age, some To the extent that you are honest, just tell us, so you can take care of this matter.” Qian Wengui sighed deliberately after speaking, but squinted his eyes, looking at the embarrassed primary school teacher intentionally or unintentionally in the shadows. .

Ren Guozhong didn't know how to agree, and he couldn't think of anything else to say for a while. After taking a sip of tea, he felt hot again, and the mosquitoes under the tree seemed to be fierce.Everyone was silent for a while, Ren Guozhong had no choice but to stand up and leave.Qian Wengui didn't keep him, and the old woman sent him out again. There was no sound on the street. When he got to the street, the door was closed behind him.
