After hearing what this person said, Qin Huai's heart sank, but he shouted loudly: "Why, killing people is not enough, and the death row prisoners can have a last meal before they die. As long as Qin Laoshuan is not dead, I can see him?"
Before coming here, he had the idea of clearing Qin Laoshuan of all charges. He believed that others should not suffer for him, so he had no scruples.
"What are you yelling about? You are from Qinjiazhuang too, right? In my opinion, everyone in Qinjiazhuang should be shot." He was obviously just a gatekeeper, but because he had a salary, he still felt superior in front of the farmers.
Qin Huai knew that arguing was useless, so he calmed down and sarcastically said, "Fortunately, you are just a gatekeeper and not a commune leader, otherwise all of us in Qinjiazhuang would have died in your hands long ago."
"Why do you talk like that?" The gatekeeper was filled with anger.
He can speak whatever he wants, but not others.
"How should I speak? Qin Laoshuan committed a crime and there are laws to punish him, instead of allowing people like you to abuse him at will."
"Rebellion, rebellion, I think you are Qin Laoshuan's accomplice, I think you should be arrested." The guard was furious.
The only answer he got was Qin Huai's sneer. The man was so irritated by the contemptuous sneer that he became perverted and rushed forward to grab his collar.
Just then, someone called him softly, "Teacher Qin?"
It was just a slight sound, but the gatekeeper seemed to be struck by lightning. He immediately turned around with a smile on his face and stepped aside. His movements were smooth and natural.
Qin Huai had never heard this name before except in Qinjiazhuang. He turned around and saw that it was indeed the commune secretary Jiang Feng standing not far away calling him. Seeing that it was indeed him, he smiled and said, "Teacher Qin, it really is you."
"Leader Jiang, I'm just a farmer and I don't dare to say I'm a teacher." He turned around and glared at the gatekeeper.
When the gatekeeper saw that the head of the commune was actually smiling at the young farmer, he shrank back into his hut.
"Teacher Qin, why are you here?"
"Secretary Jiang, I'm here for Qin Laoshuan from our Qinjiazhuang. I want to see him."
Jiang Feng said, "Qin Laoshuan is extremely bold. Others can't watch him, but you are Teacher Qin, so I'll let you go and see him."
Qin Huai said, "Thank you, Secretary Jiang. The pig died of illness. Shouldn't a human life be expended in exchange for it?"
"Teacher Qin, please stop talking nonsense. Qin Laoshuan has a problem with his political ideology. Some people in the commune think he deliberately killed the pigs. He has serious ideological problems."
"Secretary Jiang, I don't understand that much. I just know that even before liberation, people couldn't die for animals, right?"
"Teacher Qin, you don't know the seriousness of the matter. There are some things that cannot be said casually."
He never mentioned the eight yuan salary he had promised Qin Huai or the fact that he was a teacher in the commune's literacy class. Qin Huai also tactfully did not mention it. The words of officials are like a gust of wind, which will be blown away by the wind once they are spoken. If you take them seriously, you will lose.
Jiang Feng brought him to an adobe house. Surprisingly, two men with guns were standing at the door. Seeing him approach, they hurriedly greeted him, "Secretary Jiang."
Jiang Feng said, "Teacher Qin from Qinjiazhuang is here to see Qin Laoshuan. Let him in."
After he finished explaining, he said, "Teacher Qin, I have something else to do and I'll leave first. Come back to me after you see Qin Laoshuan."
Qin Huai thanked him a few words before pushing the door and walking in.
When I walked in, I first smelled a pungent smell of urine. Only when my eyes adjusted to the darkness could I see what was inside clearly.
There were several people lying on the ground, half-dead, and some of them had obvious injuries.
Everyone is dressed similarly, and it's hard to tell who is who.
He had been standing there for a while. Logically, Qin Laoshuan should have been able to see him, but he didn't say anything. He felt very disappointed and could only shout, "Qin Laoshuan, uncle, uncle?"
The figure in the innermost part moved, let out a cry, and then started coughing loudly.
Qin Huai immediately rushed over and helped him up. It was indeed Qin Laoshuan, with blood all over his chest.
I guess he was beaten badly.
He coughed for a while before stopping. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Hungry, I'm starving to death."
Fortunately, Qin Huai was prepared and immediately handed the soft pastry to his mouth. He suddenly became energetic and grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating, he opened his hand to ask for more.
Qin Huai refused to give it to him and said, "Uncle, digest it first, I'll give it to you later."
When he said there was food, the people in the darkness seemed to open their eyes. They were all green and looked as scary as wild beasts.
Qin Laoshuan ate something and felt more energetic. He asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Huai said: "You are doing this for me..."
Before he could finish, Qin Laoshuan covered his mouth and said, "You are so kind and righteous, kid. I just gave you a steamed bun, but when I was dying, you still looked at me."
After that, he whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."
Qin Huai couldn't stop crying, and even then Qin Laoshuan still wanted to protect him.
Qin Laoshuan took a few deep breaths and said, "I'm so hungry, Qin Huai, what else did you bring? Give it to me quickly."
Qin Huai had no choice but to hand all the food to him, and he grabbed it and gobbled it up. Qin Huai came this time to discuss with him how to save people, but he didn't know that after he came, Qin Laoshuan only wanted to eat.
But what happened next horrified him.
Maybe he had been hungry for too long, Qin Laoshuan vomited while eating, making the already smelly temporary cell even smellier.
But just when Qin Laoshuan vomited, those people in the darkness crawled over like pigs and dogs, picked up his vomit regardless of the stench, and licked it in their mouths as if it were a treasure.
Qin Huai's scalp tingled. Although he had lived two lifetimes as a human being, he had never seen such a scene before.
Qin Laoshuan laughed strangely and said, "You dogs, you bullied me at first, and now you are eating my vomit."
For a moment, Qin Huai wanted to run away. Hunger can turn people into nothing.
Qin Laoshuan looked at him and said, "Are you scared?"
Qin Huai shivered and said, "I'm scared." Who wouldn't be scared when seeing this situation?
"What are you afraid of? If you hadn't brought me food today, I would have done the same if someone else had vomited." His words were like a cold wind blowing from the eighteen levels of hell, chilling Qin Huai to the bone.
Qin Laoshuan added, "You still have some conscience. Just look at me and go back early. This is not a place for children."
"Uncle, I will definitely rescue you."
"It's useless. I will definitely pay for my life with the pigs. Where is the eight pigs?" He was very tenacious. After eating a few bites of food, he returned to his normal state.
Qin Huai secretly stuffed a few steamed buns into his arms. Qin Laoshuan felt them and understood what they were, and hid them immediately.
"Uncle, haven't the sweet potatoes in the warehouse been discovered?" he asked in a low voice.
Qin Laoshuan whispered, "There are no sweet potatoes. Where can I get sweet potatoes from?"
