Qian Wenqiang's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his dirty and corrupt body. He looked at the villagers who were moving stones on the embankment and ran over here quickly.
He staggered to his feet, holding on to his weak, urine-stained legs.
However, the next second, the chaotic shouting made his already unclear mind even more chaotic, and he looked at everyone in confusion.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a piercing pain in his scalp, and the slight force of the impact caused his body to fall downward at a high speed like a broken kite.
Oh, he heard the shout clearly.
"Get out of the way, and move back."
"Watch out for that pheasant!"
He looked up at the cloudless blue sky, and his bleak and hopeless life flashed through his mind.
The heavy sound of the landing made many people scream.
Qian Wenqiang watched helplessly as the blood gushed out of the corners of his mouth and eroded the land.
Are you finally going to be free? Are you finally no longer struggling in the mud with false fantasies?
He saw several pairs of feet stopped in front of him, but they hesitated and dared not move forward.
The rough men on the embankment all looked terrified.
This was the first time they saw a living person falling in front of them, smashed into a bloody mess.
The captain only felt pain in his calves, and he ran over as if he was on a Hot Wheels.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Dachao, a man on the dam, said quickly: "We were transporting stones over there, and we heard a scream, and then we saw a man being knocked off the dam by a black shadow."
Someone else continued, "That's right. Then another person was probably also frightened and crawled over to take a look. As soon as he stood up, a pheasant jumped out of nowhere and grabbed his scalp. He slipped and fell down."
"Yeah, it's horrible."
The captain's legs were shaking as he stood on the dam and looked down. The dam was several dozen meters high, and the legs of the people watching were shivering.
Almost at a glance, the captain immediately called for someone to support him.
A group of people almost carried the captain down the stairs.
There were already a lot of people surrounding Qian Wenqiang and Ning Guoqing.
"Quick, go and see if he's still alive."
"Oh my god, where did this wild boar come from?"
"These two people are so pitiful. Why would they get so close to the edge of the dam when they have nothing better to do?"
Everyone bravely carried the two men out of the pool of blood.
Reach out your hand and try to smell the breath.
"Captain, this man is dead."
"This one still has air, this one still has air!"
The captain immediately arranged for someone to send the person to the hospital.
The people in the cowshed looked at each other, and some had expressions of grief on their faces.
After all, Qian Wenqiang had been with them for several years and had endured the most difficult days together.
The person just passed away like this, which makes people feel sad.
The captain looked at Kong Xiuzhu and said, "Kong, what's Kong? Find a few people to bury him."
For those who were sent down to the cowshed, it was good enough if the team leader could remember one of their surnames.
As for the people in the village, most of them couldn't even recognize these people's faces.
Kong Xiuzhu sighed and said, "Qian Wenqiang also sacrificed his life for the cause of river restoration. Let's bury him near the river."
The captain thought for a long time and nodded in agreement.
As for Ning Guoqing, he died before he could be sent to the county hospital.
The villagers sighed and turned to look at the wild boar not far away: "Captain, what's this wild boar?"
Although the wild boar had been smashed into pieces, it was almost a pool of meat paste.
But it’s meat.
The captain felt a little disgusted because this was a piece of flesh stained with the blood of two people.
"Bury it!"
Someone in the crowd was unwilling: "Captain, this is meat?"
For most villagers, the lives of people in the cowshed are far less important than their own practical interests.
What didn’t you eat during the famine?
Some people had the same idea as the captain: "The pork is mixed with human blood. If you eat it, aren't you afraid that they will come looking for you in the middle of the night?"
A rough man glared at her and shouted, "You are being superstitious, do you know that? You don't dare to eat it, but I do!"
"Yeah, it wasn't us who pushed them down, the wild boars knocked them down."
"That is, just after a few years of famine, have you forgotten the hardships of the past?"
Opinions were mixed. Seeing that everyone in Daba Village was looking at the pile of pork with shining eyes, Captain Lu waved his hand and said, "Take it away and cook it. Let Wen Zhiqing and the others cook something else today."
A group of men cheered and carried pork towards the shed.
Wen Sihe looked at the pile of rotten meat, at a loss as to what to do.
Especially when he knew there was human blood in the minced meat, he leaned against a tree and vomited.
Wu Yu wasn't much better off, his little face turned pale with fear.
The men looked at these women, including the captain's wife, and did not dare to take action. They pushed them and then took action themselves.
The others went back to work, leaving only two men to process the pork.
Wen Sihe and the others forced themselves to cheer up and started to prepare lunch.
Captain Lu looked at the villagers who were busy again, took out his pipe from his waist, struck a match, lit it, and started smoking.
Just then, a figure jumped out, and the captain was startled by his action.
He took off his shoes and was about to hit him: "You bastard, you are going to scare me to death!"
The person who came was a man about the same age as Captain Lu.
His name is Lu Jianguo, and he is Captain Lu’s brother.
He sat next to Captain Lu with lingering fear: "Brother, this is too weird, right? How can a wild boar jump out in broad daylight?
And the pheasant was nowhere to be seen."
The captain was smoking his pipe very fast, and no one knew what was on his mind.
Lu Jianguo looked at his elder brother who remained silent. The miserable appearance of the two men was still lingering in his mind.
I could only muster up the courage to say, "Brother, do you think we bumped into something while renovating the river?
This person did something bad and got his comeuppance?"
He was talking about the incident where Qian Wenqiang pushed his child off the embankment, and in the end he himself was pushed off the embankment by a wild chicken that came from nowhere.
If this isn’t retribution, what is?
The captain glanced at him and said, "You are being superstitious."
Lu Jianguo sighed: "Why don't we get someone to take a look?
In the past, when the landlords in our village started construction, didn’t they have to find a fortune teller to check the feng shui?
I wonder if we had a conflict?
This time it was the bullpen. What if next time…”
Captain Lu's heart started pounding when his brother told him that.
I don’t know what he was thinking of, but he whispered something in Lu Jianguo’s ear.
