When Captain Lu saw their appearance, he knew that they must have gone into the mountains recently.
He sighed heavily and said, "I have said everything I need to say. Everyone, take care of yourselves."
In fact, Captain Lu could understand everyone. There was not enough food, their stomachs were dry, and they couldn't stand the cold at all.
The elderly and children in the family have to eat some meat, otherwise they can't even go out.
Just as everyone was talking, a child's loud cry suddenly came from the door.
From far to near, it seems to be running from the village entrance.
"Mom, mom, dad, woo woo woo."
A child was crying and shouting, and everyone quickly wrapped their clothes tightly and walked out.
What caught my eye was Xiao Niu and several children being carried over by the back of their clothes.
Half of his belly was exposed. When the villagers saw this scene, they became furious.
"What are you doing? Let go of my child."
The lady with the green headscarf picked up the wooden stick behind the door and rushed over. The temperature was nearly thirty degrees below zero and she couldn't stand having her ears exposed for even a few minutes.
What's more, most of the belly is exposed, and the child might get seriously ill.
The sturdy man who was in the lead reached out and snatched the wooden stick from the lady in the green headscarf's hand, and pushed her hard, causing the lady in the green headscarf to fall to the ground.
The whole person fell into the snow pile beside him in a daze.
When everyone saw what was happening, they all rushed forward with their weapons in hand.
Captain Lu, with a dark face, walked in front, followed closely by Secretary He.
"People from Daba Village, what do you want to do?
"The people in our village didn't provoke you. Why are you taking your anger out on the children? If the children get a headache or a fever, will you be responsible?"
Captain Lu shouted loudly and looked at the strong men with fierce eyes.
This caused them to hesitate for a moment, and one of the timid ones let go of one of the children with trembling hands.
The child fell to the ground and burst into tears.
The round-faced aunt ran forward and held her child in her arms.
Touching the child's icy belly, he quickly unbuttoned his cotton coat and wrapped him in it.
The round-faced aunt looked at those people fiercely and said, "If anything happens to our child, your child won't have a good life either."
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the sound of a donkey cart coming from behind was called "de-de-de-er".
"Captain Lu, don't blame the people in our village for going too far. It's the people in your village who are even more excessive.
We are all from neighboring villages, and we don’t want to have any problems with you.
But this time your people went too far. Two strong laborers in our village died.
What do you think of the family? The children are crying with hunger and the old man wants to hang himself.
You can't stand this little bit of cold? It's really ridiculous to say that."
The person who said this was Liu Qingshan, who was sitting on a donkey cart, wrapped up tightly so that his facial expression could not be seen clearly.
And the person lying next to him was the person they met on the mountain before.
One had a broken leg and another had a broken arm.
Two people lay weakly in the ox cart, as if they were about to die in the next second.
Captain Lu's expression became even colder. He walked forward and sneered, "Captain Liu, why don't I understand what you are saying?
What does the accident of people in your village have to do with our village? "
Liu Qingshan's mouth, which was pressed into his hat, curled up slightly, and he said indignantly, "It's none of your business?
When people from our village go up the mountain, they meet people from your village.
If the people in your village hadn’t lured the wild boar here, would anyone have died in our village?
The bodies of both of them are still in the village. Captain Lu, why don't you pull out the people from your village who went up the mountain to confront them.
They just wanted to go up the mountain to see if they could encounter some wild animals, but they ended up being killed by a bunch of heartless people like you."
Liu Qingshan's words made the strong men who were holding the children even more angry.
Most of the people in their village have the same surname, and they are almost all from the same family.
According to the clan's rules, if a family lost its able-bodied laborer, they could not just watch the elderly and children starve to death, so each family had to contribute some food, at least to raise the children.
But now every household is in short supply, who is willing to provide this food?
Captain Lu didn't believe that people in their village would do such a thing. Although there had been some dirty things in their village over the years, no one had been so cruel as to take people's lives.
He can still guarantee this, no, except for that brat Lu Zhiye.
When he gets ruthless and schemes against others, he will do it without regard for the consequences.
However, Captain Lu felt that since Lu Zhiye was now reunited with his family, there was no need for him to take risks in doing these things.
Immediately, my trembling heart calmed down.
"We can't just listen to the one-sided words of the people in your village about this matter.
Besides, why should we involve children in the grudges between adults?
Put the kids down quickly, they are terrified."
Liu Qingshan listened to Captain Lu's words, thought about it and agreed.
He raised his hand and waved, signaling several people to let go of the children.
The calf let out a roar and jumped into his mother's arms.
Despite his young age, his eyes were filled with anger and he looked at the group of people with hatred.
The lady in the green headscarf held the calf in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
Her sister-in-law is from Daba Village, and these people dared to treat their child like this.
"Captain Liu, let's go to the brigade and have a good talk.
This is not our fault, and we won’t take any responsibility for it.”
Captain Lu raised his head and motioned Liu Qingshan to go to the brigade headquarters.
"Yes, we will never admit to anything we didn't do."
The men who went up the mountain to hunt couldn't help but shout out loud. When Captain Lu heard what they said, his mood completely calmed down.
He just said that people in their village are not so ignorant of their limits.
For a moment, the yard was surrounded by villagers.
"Captain Liu, is this what the two people from your village said?
Please explain the whole story, we can't take the blame for nothing."
Secretary He looked at Liu Qingshan with dark eyes. Just now, his granddaughter was also dragged up. Looking at his granddaughter's red eyes from crying, Secretary He wanted to beat her to death with a shovel.
Liu Qingshan pulled back the quilt covering the two men. Their legs and arms were barely bandaged.
Against the backdrop of the white snow, the red is particularly eye-catching.
"We were just strolling around, but who knew they would attract a herd of wild boars.
When he saw we had shotguns in our hands, he ran towards us.
The wild boar charged straight at us, and before we could react, Zhuangzhuang was knocked away by the wild boar......."
"Yeah, poor Zhuangzhuang's family..."
Another man with an injured arm followed up with the conversation.
