The rain on the ground mercilessly slapped the soldiers' bodies still soaked in water. There was not a single clean spot on their bodies. Even their meals were just a casual bite, and they could hardly maintain adequate food and clothing.
Wu Yunting also felt that this was not a solution, and he had to get the people he brought back safely. Otherwise, if the rescue was not completed and all the people were destroyed, it would be a waste.
"Dong Yu, ask the kitchen to cook a pot of ginger soup and let our brothers drink it quickly. We will try to dig through this place today."
Dong Yu frowned, looking worried: "Captain, we can't do it alone. Not to mention that there is no machine to operate, even the mule needs a rest. The brothers haven't slept for three days and three nights."
There have been such situations when I was on a mission before, but even a strong body couldn't stand being soaked in water all day.
He sighed softly: "Let the young and strong laborers in the surrounding area save themselves. Our manpower is limited, and we can't let the villagers sit idle. At least they still have the strength to dig the canal."
Don't blame him for being cruel. It was because those villagers not only refused to help, but also lay there like a boss. He couldn't even feel comfortable saving his wife and children, and he was still beating them.
뀗Yu felt that this move was indeed a good one, but once his superiors knew about it, they would definitely say that he did not care about the people. This was not something he could control, so he had to deal with the matter first.
Something strange happened in the Cheng family brigade. Cheng Futian's son Cheng Yong stood up cursing and brushed the dirt off his butt.
"The army is here to protect us, how can you let us take risks? What's the use of you? We are just ordinary people. Who will be responsible if we fall into the river and drown?"
뀗玉 raised his eyes, disdain in his eyes: "How can this be called an adventure? This is your way of saving yourself. If you can't dig through, the whole village will collapse, and not only you, but everyone will die."
Cheng Yong's eyes narrowed, and he remembered what his father said. He took a few steps forward and sat directly on the ground, like a village shrew.
"Don't lie to me, you won't ignore us. After all, you are soldiers. This is your duty. Even if you die, you have to save us. This is your destiny."
Dong Yu didn't expect that this person would say such a thing, which made her angry.
Feng Moyan was wearing a raincoat and kicked him. "Why? Just because they are soldiers and have responsibilities, you can bully them at will. All these men should go dig channels. Anyone who dares to be lazy will have no food to eat today."
"The food you eat and the tents you sleep in are all paid for by me. Get moving."
"뀗Yu looked at them, and if anyone dared to be lazy, he would whip them. It was really a good look, and I didn't know what it was.
The country trains you to protect the useful and the weak, not to be ridiculed and mocked by them. ”
뀗Yu looked at the whip in his hand. He felt hot all over and his palms a little itchy. His sister-in-law was too tough. She even took out the whip. He suspected that it was prepared for the boss.
Cheng Yong's body trembled when he saw the whip. He was very afraid of this thing. He was beaten by his father several times when he was a child. He would never forget the pain.
"When will you release my father? Our village is still counting on him to take care of it."
Feng Moyan recalled Cheng Jialiang's face and the threats he had secretly made her think that he could make her compromise just because he was the mayor. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Cheng Jialiang was very upset when he heard his rejection. "Leader, I know you people from Beijing have bad tempers, but my cousin did nothing wrong. He just delayed the villagers' withdrawal.
We are all from the countryside. Our lives are worthless. We can do anything for that little bit of food. If we have no food to eat, the consequences will be even greater. What do you think? ”
Although Feng Moyan was sitting on a small stool, he looked as tall as two meters at the time, and said in a low voice: "Chief Cheng, I think you probably misunderstood. Captain Cheng was imprisoned for corruption, bribery, false reporting of grain production, rape of a female educated youth, resulting in her death, and murder.
It has nothing to do with what you said. Maybe your information is wrong.
Besides, if I want to control a small captain, it would only take a flick of my finger. Why would I take it seriously?
But you, Mayor Cheng, since he is your cousin, do you know about these things?
Or are you also involved and are the umbrella behind him? ”
Cheng Jialiang felt weighed down by every word, and his heart twitched as if something was crushing it.
He stood up suddenly, lowered his head to the dust, and spoke with a trembling voice: "Leader, you are joking. If you hadn't mentioned it, I probably wouldn't have known about it."
"Since he has made such a mistake, I, as a family member, cannot protect him. I will do whatever I have to do. It all depends on the leader's wishes."
Feng Moyan chuckled: "Okay, then Mayor Cheng can do it! I feel you will accomplish this execution very well. As his relative, it would be good for you to see him off for the last time."
Damn it, this woman is so vicious. They are cousins, and she asked him to send his brother to the execution ground with his own hands. Will he still have a position in the family after he returns?
He didn't know how he walked out of the tent. He felt cold all over and couldn't hear anything.
Feng Moyan was standing at the door and staring at his back. It was amazing that such a small place could have so many evil thoughts.
She had been to the countryside before and knew the difficult situation of the educated youth. The female educated youth rarely returned to the city. Some of them got married in the countryside, and some were framed and killed.
A very small number of them were sent back to the city through family connections, and a few were waiting for the college entrance examination to be restarted so that they could return to the city.
It seems that the Cheng family team has serious problems. If it weren't for an in-depth investigation, we wouldn't have known that this is simply a dirty den.
She even suspected that if she didn't deal with it now and continued to do so, this place would become a place for selling stolen goods.
Cheng Yong saw the woman staring at him without saying a word, thinking that she had a crush on him, so he stood up and made some coquettish gestures, just about to walk towards her.
Feng Moyan shouted, "Your father has been detained for a criminal case, and what he is waiting for is a peanut, and it was handled by your Mayor Cheng himself, so it's a done deal.
The follow-up team leader in your village will make arrangements, so there is no need to worry. ”
Cheng Yong looked at the figure of 巸 walking away, and his figure trembled. He turned his head and looked at his wife's numb eyes: "What did she say, Dad wants to eat peanuts?"
His wife didn't react at all, so he kicked her and said, "Is that what you said? Why didn't you say anything, like a fool? It's really embarrassing."
The woman looked up at him, a sinister look in her eyes, "Yes, the leader said your father is going to be shot, and it was our mayor who personally supervised it. Don't you understand?"
She was secretly delighted in her heart, how good, that bastard should have died long ago. Looking at the child in the corner with hatred, this bastard should also die, all of them should die.
But she can't, she must protect herself and stay alive, she must stay alive.
