The scene of the group of people lying on Qin Laoshuan's vomit and fighting for food, even though Qin Huai was already standing in the sun, still felt that it might be a dream.
He hoped it was a dream, but he knew it wasn't.
Qin Laoshuan and the group of people who were locked up all looked like hungry ghosts, but this ghost was still protecting him, a person who had nothing to do with him, and not letting him say that this matter had anything to do with him.
The more he did this, the more guilty Qin Huai felt. He walked out of the temporary cell and immediately sought Jiang Feng's help.
"Secretary Jiang, the production team's pigs died. This is a natural disaster and can't be blamed on Qin Laoshuan, the production team leader, right?"
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "There's no place like Qinjiazhuang in the entire commune. Eight pigs died at once. Why didn't they report it at the time? They said they were afraid. But if they were afraid, they didn't have to report it? He's holding back the commune's pig-raising mission."
"Secretary Jiang, this is a natural disaster, and Qin Laoshuan didn't want it to happen."
Jiang Feng interrupted him and said sharply, "Qin Huai, your thinking is very dangerous. What natural disaster? Why didn't the pigs in other villages die, but eight died in your Qinjiazhuang? This is a new trend in class struggle. We must all be vigilant."
He spoke in an official tone, and Qin Huai knew that all the affection had disappeared. The poet and Teacher Qin were like an insignificant gust of wind that blew by yesterday.
If you want to save Qin Laoshuan, you must think of other ways.
He walked out of the commune lonely and looked at the fiery red slogans on the wall. This was a passionate era, but also an era when people were powerless. He was just an ordinary man who could barely survive. Who would listen to a farmer?
But he quickly got rid of these negative thoughts. He couldn't give up. Qin Laoshuan would die within three days if he was locked up in such a place. He had to find a solution as soon as possible.
A gust of northwest wind blew by, like a cold knife, piercing through his tattered cotton jacket and stabbing into his flesh. The cold wind made his teeth chatter. He suddenly shook his body like a wild dog and walked towards the city with firm steps.
The next moment, he showed up at the police station. Qin Wei immediately invited him in and said, "Didn't I tell you not to go out? Why are you here when it's so cold instead of staying home?"
He complained as he was given a cup of hot water to warm his hands.
"Uncle Qin Wei, actually..." He chose his words carefully and continued, "Actually, the eight pigs that died didn't die of illness."
Qin Wei jumped up in shock, immediately closed the door, and complained in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that he died of illness."
Qin Huai insisted, "Actually, I sold the eight pigs and exchanged them for 30,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, which are now stored in the village warehouse."
Qin Wei was surprised and said, "You are talking nonsense, eight pigs, who did you sell them to?"
"I won't tell you who I sold it to, uncle. I did it myself, and the captain shouldn't take the blame for it."
"Qin Huai, you're confused. Why doesn't Qin Lao Shuan tell you out? If you do, not only will you die, but the sweet potatoes in the warehouse will also be lost, and all the villagers will starve to death. If this matter really needs someone to take the blame, only Qin Lao Shuan is qualified. He's already determined to die. If you do this now, you can save Qin Lao Shuan, but everyone else will die. Qin Huai, do you think it's worth it?"
Qin Huai's heart was shocked. He just wanted to use himself to exchange Qin Laoshuan for his release, but he never thought that it would cause so many chain reactions.
Just as Qin Wei said, he really couldn't stand up easily.
only.
This is so unfair to Qin Laoshuan.
Seeing his expression changing, Qin Wei immediately instructed, "You must keep this matter to yourself and go back to your city. The villagers have sweet potatoes to keep them alive. Sacrificing Qin Laoshuan in exchange for the survival of the entire village is worth it. Even Qin Laoshuan himself thinks so."
Qin Huai was shocked by his words. He didn't expect Qin Laoshuan to have such awareness. Although he was unfortunately reborn in this bastard era, the human nature of this era is greater, more willing to sacrifice, and more worthy of touching.
Seeing that he still didn't speak, Qin Wei said, "Don't be confused. This is not a matter of one person or one family. It concerns the survival of the entire village. Remember this."
"I understand, but seeing Qin Laoshuan die for me, my conscience can't let me go."
"Qin Huai, you are a child with a conscience. There will be many opportunities to repay you in the future. There is no need to rush."
Qin Wei was worried and insisted on taking him back. Qin Huai knew that he was actually afraid that he would do something wrong, so he escorted him back, probably thinking that he would ask Old Man Qin to watch over him after he got home.
Before they could leave, the police station suddenly called everyone to a meeting. Qin Wei said, "You stay here and don't go anywhere. I'll take you back after the meeting."
When he went out, he actually locked the door with his key.
Qin Huai was in a daze for a while, and then Qin Wei suddenly came back with a happy face and said, "There's a new commissioner in the district."
"After learning about the large number of people who had starved to death in Wanbei County, the new commissioner angrily slammed the county chief's desk upon taking office, cursing that all the county officials were bastards and had no regard for human life."
"Then he ordered the granaries to be opened and grain reserves in the county warehouses to be urgently transported to the villages most affected by the famine. Now the entire county has taken action, and no one will starve to death again."
Commissioner? Qin Huai immediately thought of Zhao Qishan. Could he really be so courageous?
If Zhao Qishan is really the commissioner of the administrative office, does that mean that if I go and ask him for help, maybe he can save Qin Laoshuan's life?
Qin Wei was overjoyed. He wandered around the room for a while before saying to Qin Huai, "I don't have time to see you off now. Just go back on your own and don't mess around. Okay?"
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't run around when I get back."
Qin Wei did not believe his promise and told him not to mention again that it was his idea to kill the pig, but he had a mission to do so and had to let Qin Huai go back.
Qin Huai did not go back, but returned to the commune. This time, the guards saw him and did not stop him. Qin Huai went straight to where Qin Laoshuan was imprisoned. The two guards recognized him and asked, "Why are you here again?"
Qin Huai said, "Brothers, please help me. I brought some dry food for my uncle. I'm afraid he'll starve to death here."
"You still have a conscience. Go ahead."
When Qin Huai opened the door, he heard a fight inside. Qin Laoshuan was pinned down. When he heard Qin Huai calling him, he shouted from below, "Qin Huai, quickly beat these shameless bastards to death!"
What happened again?
Qin Huai had no choice but to pull these people apart one by one. He didn't dare to use force because these people had no strength.
But when he reached Qin Laoshuan at the bottom, he became furious because Qin Laoshuan's face was covered in blood and his clothes were torn into strips.
