Space: 60's Survival

55

  There were already several children playing in the water by the river, and when they saw Tong Yan, they all came around, and when they heard that Tong Yan was going to catch fish, they all came to help. In fact, where are they helping? Knowing that Tong Yan has delicious food in her pocket, they will exchange snacks with Tong Yan if they want to catch fish.

Tong Yan agreed with them to catch a fish for a piece of sesame candy. The children dispersed in a hurry and went to catch fish. A few children are still very clever, and everyone spreads out to show their magical powers. Crowded together, the fish will be scared away.

Although the river was clear, there were not many fish. Tong Yan rolled up her trousers and stood in the water. She basked in the sun for more than half an hour, her face was red and she still found nothing.

At this moment, the two children ran over from a distance, shouting something, and they were too far away for Tong Yan to hear clearly. After a while, the two children got closer to Tong Yan, and they were shouting: "The red soldier is here, the red soldier is here, and he brought someone here."

Tong Yan was shocked, and the children heard it and stopped one after another. The work in your hands, gather here. A child panted and said, "There are a lot of people, and an old man came here." Tong Yan didn't care about catching fish, so she grabbed a child and asked him to report to the village chief, and she and several other children went to the entrance of the village. go.

It didn't take long for the team leader, the village accountant, and a few team leaders to rush over. Tong Yan saw those people. They were all young people in their twenties. There were twenty people in three rows. There was an old man in the middle, dressed in tatters and bloodstains on his clothes, and he was being held by them. The man lowered his head, and his hair was messy to cover his face. Tong Yan didn't see the man's appearance clearly, but felt that the man should be quite old.

Zhou Yonghai greeted them in front of them, and the person in the lead had a reckless expression, speaking with Zhou Yonghai in an official tone, Zhou Yonghai smiled and nodded, leading those people to the village office. Tong Yan stood far away and didn't hear anything, only a few vague words came to Tong Yan's ears, "stubborn", "reform", "ideological education". Tong Yan didn't like watching such a scene. She felt that someone around her took her hand. Tong Yan was startled and looked up. It was Lu Jinzhi.

With a gloomy tone, Lu Jinzhi asked Tong Yan, "Did you go to play in the river?" Tong Yan followed Lu Jinzhi's line of sight and looked at her rolled-up trouser legs. Half of her smooth calves were exposed, and she quickly squatted down and put down her trouser legs. down. Lu Jinzhi frowned slightly and said to Zhou Yuanqi, "Go back with your sister Tong Yan, boil some hot water, and soak your feet."

Zhou Yuanqi sensitively noticed that Lu Jinzhi was unhappy and did not dare to speak, and followed Tong Yan to the house . Tong Yan walked back all the way, thinking about what happened just now, Zhou Yuanqi looked at Tong Yan's face carefully, Tong Yan found Zhou Yuanqi's eyes, looked at his face, understood a little, and comforted him: "It's alright. , Brother Lu is not angry, just afraid that we will catch a cold." The

little boy was relieved, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a bit of flattery, "I'll go back to boil water, sister, soak your feet well."

Tong Yan Seeing his appearance, she barely twitched the corners of her mouth. After they went back, the two boiled hot water. Tong Yan just put her feet in the footbath when Lu Jinzhi came back. Zhou Yuanqi was still a little worried when he saw Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi's expression was indifferent, so Zhou Yuanqi went home first. Zhou Yuanqi glanced at Tong Yan and slipped away.

Tong Yan saw Lu Jinzhi's face and knew that he was in a bad mood. When he asked him, he didn't say anything, just squatted down to wash Tong Yan's feet. Tong Yan looked at his curved back, and a sense of unease emerged spontaneously.

After washing his feet, Lu Jinzhi went to pour the water, and came back after a while, with a heavy voice in his voice, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the drying field together."

Tong Yan felt uneasy, and went to the drying field with Lu Jinzhi. Many villagers were discussing at this moment. Not long after, Zhou Yonghai came with the group of people with red cuffs, the most conspicuous of them was the old man whose hands were cut backwards and a sign was erected behind his back.

A simple wooden platform was set up on the drying field. Those people pressed the old man on the wooden platform. One of them told everyone about the crime of the old man one by one in his voice. The villagers were silent, and the more Tong Yan listened, the more wrong it became. In the end, someone grabbed the old man's hair, and the old man's head lifted up. Everyone could see his face clearly. Tong Yan was shocked. This man was Doctor Qi.

At this time, Doctor Qi had lost a lot of weight than before, his ruddy complexion had turned gray, his eyes were dull, he stared blankly at the villagers below, there was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his beard was unshaven. Such Doctor Qi shocked Tong Yan, and at the same time, she also understood why Lu Jinzhi's depressed mood was caused.

Those people counted Dr. Qi's "crimes", and then asked the villagers to criticize them together. Everyone picked up the small stones on the ground and threw them at Dr. Qi. The stones fell on Dr. Qi's body, and Dr. Qi was held to death. Yes, he couldn't even escape, he bit his lip and didn't say a word. Tong Yan witnessed all this, her clenched hands were full of sweat, and her heart was cold.

Lu Jinzhi watched Doctor Qi being bullied, and looked at the villagers who threw stones at Doctor Qi with gloomy eyes, his body tensed, his teeth clenched, and he pressed down his anger, but he couldn't do anything. In the end, those people led the villagers to shout slogans several times before ending the farce.

After that, Dr. Qi was left behind and will be remodeled here in the future. Zhou Yonghai sent those people away like a plague god, but he was not at all stable. Zhou Yonghai looked at Doctor Qi who was slumped on the ground, and he felt that he had received a hot potato.

Lu Jinzhi and Tong Yan were in a very low mood at the moment, they both lowered their heads and walked home silently. At the door of the house, Lu Jinzhi patted Tong Yan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "You go first, I'll go out for a walk."

Tong Yan grabbed Lu Jinzhi: "Don't be impulsive, now we can't act rashly, if ..." Lu Jinzhi raised his hand to touch Tong Yan's face, stopped Tong Yan from continuing to speak, and forced a smile: "You go back first, I won't mess around, I just want to be quiet for a while."

There was a little shimmer left in the dim sunlight, and the ridge in the distance was already blurred. Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinzhi's desolate back, and her heart was heavy. Tong Yan was somewhat grateful to Doctor Qi, but she would not let Lu Jinzhi take risks in order to save him. Yes, she is also selfish, at least, she doesn't want to see Lu Jinzhi's accident.

During the time when Lu Jinzhi was away, Tong Yan had been worried and looked at the door several times. When the cold moon hung on the branches, she saw Lu Jinzhi's back figure, and her heart fell into her stomach. Lu Jinzhi's face was still gloomy. When Lao Qian came to eat, he also noticed Lu Jinzhi's strangeness and couldn't help sighing. The three of them finished their meal in silence, and the atmosphere at the table was rarely dull and suffocating.

Lao Qian didn't hold back in the end, and said something to Lu Jinzhi: "Don't be impulsive, think twice before you act." Lu Jinzhi nodded to Lao Qian and said nothing. Old Qian sighed again, turned and left.

The night was dark, kerosene lamps were lit in the house, and the yellowish candles swayed gently, adding a bit of unspeakable sultry heat to the house. Tong Yan and Lu Jinzhi were speechless. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the house, and both of them were shocked. Lu Jinzhi stood up and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Zhou Yonghai."

Tong Yan looked at Lu Jinzhi, and Lu Jinzhi also looked at Tong Yan , turned to open the door. Zhou Yonghai looked anxious, saw Lu Jinzhi, and pulled his sleeve out: "Little Lu, come and see with me, the person who sent it doesn't seem to be able to."

Lu Jinzhi heard that, but he didn't bother to say hello to Tong Yan, Follow Zhou Yonghai to the village office in a hurry. On a bench in the office, Doctor Qi was leaning against the chair, the scars on his face were clearly discernible, his lips were white, and his cheeks were flushed, looking a little weird.

Seeing such a situation, Lu Jinyi sank for a while and asked, "What's the matter?" Zhou Yonghai didn't hear the coldness in his tone, and at this moment Zhou Yonghai was already in a state of confusion: "I don't know either, he When he came back, he was paralyzed on the ground and had no strength. I let him rest in the office first, and when I came back from dinner, it was already like this. I called him and he didn't respond. I touched his head, as if It's a fever."

Lu Jin touched Doctor Qi's forehead, and it was really hot. After calling a few times, I could hear him making a vague "uh" sound. Lu Jinzhi turned his head and asked Zhou Yonghai, "Can you get him some medicine first?"

Zhou Yonghai trembled in his heart, pulled Lu Jinzhi aside and asked, "Is this in line with the rules?" Lu Jinzhi suppressed his anger and asked with a shallow smile, "If someone really dies, how are you going to get along with them? The superiors explained? The superiors meant to let him be reformed here. If he has not been reformed, the people will be gone, so you don't need to take responsibility?"

Zhou Yonghai was choked, it was really a dilemma, he scratched his head hard, Gritting his teeth, he stomped his feet: "Okay, I'll go get some medicine, but you have to keep it a secret!"

After receiving Lu Jinzhi's assurance, Zhou Yonghai hurried out the door, and returned with a small paper bag after a while. . When I opened it, I saw two pills. Lu Jinzhi scolded inwardly: Just such a little medicine is useless. He endured it, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and fed the medicine to Doctor Qi to eat. Zhou Yonghai felt that the surrounding air was a little colder, so he stood aside and whispered, "I brought this from home, I didn't dare to use the medicine

from the clinic." There is only one clinic in Shiwan Village. A barefoot doctor, his medical skills are half-baked. He can see minor problems such as colds and coughs, and the rest have to go to the town health center to see.

Dr. Qi took the medicine and drank some water, but his consciousness was still unclear. Zhou Yonghai looked at Dr. Qi's half-dead appearance, and cursed his mother. I don't know how to arrange for him now."

Lu Jinzhi looked at Zhou Yonghai and asked him, "Is there no place to live in the village?" "The only people who can live in the village are temporary places. It's the place where the educated youth live now, other..." Zhou Yonghai touched his chin and thought for a while: "There's another place, the wooden house beside the pigsty."
