"Sigh, it's a long story." Hearing Hong Dali's words, the villager sighed and said, "Actually, the houses in our village are all old. When they were built, the quality wasn't too good. It's normal for some of them to collapse since it's the epicenter of the earthquake. We just have to endure it and it'll be over. But Wang Xigui, that son of a b * tch, has more than 40 hooligans under him. Usually, he acts like a tyrant. This time, not only did he not help us rebuild, he even asked those hooligans to call us over and tell us that we can't rebuild, or else he'll break our legs! "
Hearing this, Tang Muxin and Ling Xiaoyi looked at each other. They could tell that there was a huge secret behind this.
But they were women, so it was not appropriate for them to speak in case something went wrong. Luckily, Hong Dali was sly and immediately asked, "He didn't ask you to rebuild the houses because he wanted to get donations from the town?"
"Isn't that so?" The villager helplessly shook his head and said, "The village chief and the mayor are in cahoots. How could he miss such a good opportunity? Not only did he not ask us to rebuild, he even asked those hooligans to demolish some of the houses that were originally fine! Originally, many people objected to his actions. Liu Guaizi from the Old Liu family in the west of the village listened to Wang Xigui's words and planned to appeal to the higher-ups, saying that they shouldn't cheat the country of money. In the end, not only was he stopped, but he also accidentally broke his leg when he went out.
"So that's how it is." Hong Dali took a deep breath.
It seemed that although it was just a small village in such a barren place, the situation inside was really complicated!
Liu Guaizi from the Old Liu family at the west of the village said that he broke his leg from a fall, but there was definitely something fishy about it. It was just that no one dared to say that they were afraid.
Since he started the conversation, the villager became more talkative. "Our village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. I studied for a few days when I was young and know that such a place is actually a good place for a vacation. But the problem is that the road is too difficult to travel. There's only one broken road from the town to here. It's troublesome to drive a car in. The key is that there are no other villages around. The town said that it's not worth it to build a road for our village alone, so they didn't start. After so many years, the villagers are used to it and don't care too much about it.
"Now that the earthquake has happened, it's just the perfect excuse for them to allocate funds." At this time, the villager's wife said, "That bastard Mayor Xu Dezhi and the town allocated funds to our village. When it reaches Wang Xigui, Wang Xigui will give the money back to Xu Dezhi. At most, our villagers will get 80 to 100 yuan as hush money. I have no choice but to accept the money. Those forty or so hooligans are ruthless. Anyone who doesn't agree will be beaten up. "
"Then, did everyone think of other ways to spread the news?" Hong Dali asked softly. "There are many communication devices these days, right?"
"We know about cell phones and computers, but the problem is that people can't get out, and Wang Xigui purposely destroyed the signal tower." The villager shook his head and said, "This is a barren place. No one dares to enter the mountains easily. There's no signal on the phone, and people can't leave easily. Who can spread the news? Occasionally, he could go to the town to attend a big market, but there were always hooligans following him. There were some people who thought of sneaking away, but they were dragging their families with them. Even if they could run away, how could they run away from the temple? Wang Xigui has already said that we should listen to his arrangements. Everything can be discussed. If we don't listen, it's hard to say what will happen. "
Hearing this, Hong Dali completely understood.
Otherwise, why would people say that evil and wicked people always have a clever side? This Village Chief Wang Xigui and Town Mayor Xu Dezhi were in cahoots. The Village Chief even kept a group of hooligans. Whoever dared to complain would have their legs broken. There was no signal on the phone in the village, not to mention the computers. The village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the roads were difficult to walk on. In addition, all the villagers had their families with them, so they actually formed a small kingdom. This Wang Xigui was just like a king. His words were absolute in the village!
Even the people from the Tianhai City Resource Chamber of Commerce were completely stunned when they heard this. "God, this Wang Xigui is really ruthless. He's making himself king!" "That's right. He's practically a small kingdom. Damn, he's really free and unfettered!" "Damn, he definitely won't live for long this time. To put it mildly, he's keeping the triads. To put it more seriously, he's a private army!" "This time, I've recorded everything. There's going to be a good show to watch. Hahaha!"
The officers from the Tianhai military said, "This bunch of bastards should be shot to death! Even a small village chief dares to do this. Damn him! "" That's right. I can't stand it anymore. He's practically occupying the mountain and making himself king! "
"There's really no other way." Hong Dali sighed and said, "Then, they used this earthquake as an excuse to split the relief funds. The village chief and the rest used the hooligans to control the big guys?"
"That's right." The villager nodded and said, "These 40-odd hooligans are all very ruthless. Whoever dares to be the least bit unruly will not just get beaten up. Actually, we know that there are reporters here. But the problem is that the villagers have some connections with each other. Wang Xigui has said that if he doesn't get anything good, everyone will be buried with him! He has quite a few guns that he made himself. Some of them are said to have been used by bandits during the anti-Japanese war. Although they can't win against the military, they can definitely kill us ordinary villagers. "
What the heck! So exaggerated!
"Really?" Hong Dali said in shock, "They even have such things? Doesn't that mean you have to listen to him? "
Alright, speaking of which, we still have aircraft carriers in our hands. We can easily get fighter jets if we want. But the problem is, we're a good person and never do such things.
Why else would people say that once someone holds the life and death of others in their hands, they would definitely not follow any principles and do things according to their own preferences.
"Can we not listen?" The villager shook his head helplessly. "We can't live if we don't listen. Look at us. We can't run away, and we can't sue them either. Even if we sue them to the town, Xu Dezhi is in cahoots with him. When we come back, we'll still be the unlucky ones. All the petitioners were stopped. They either fell to the ground with bruises on their faces or didn't dare to leave their houses. So, there's no other way. We can only listen to him. Luckily, he doesn't dare to force us too much. He still leaves us some food to eat. "
Of course, they had to leave them some food. If they didn't let them eat, wouldn't they start a rebellion?
"This is really …" Hong Dali touched his nose and didn't know what to say. After a long while, he finally said, "The same rice feeds all kinds of people!"
"That's right." The villager's wife walked over and sat down cross-legged. As she spoke, she twisted the hemp rope. "The three of you, listen to my advice. Just stay here peacefully. Don't think of leaving."
"Ah? Don't leave? "Hong Dali said in surprise," What do you mean? "
"You've been living in our house, so you must have a good understanding of our village." The villager's wife said, "If you pretend to be beggars here to cheat the relief money, Wang Xigui definitely won't do anything to you. But if you want to leave, think about it. Once you know what's going on in this village, will they let you leave just like that? They'll definitely stop you halfway. It's better to break your legs and throw them back. If not, they might just kill you in the mountains without anyone knowing. "
What the heck, these words really made my scalp go numb!
"If you didn't mention it, I really wouldn't have thought about it!" Hong Dali said in horror, "Wang Xigui really dares to kill people? That's human life. Even if we are beggars and our lives are worthless, he wouldn't dare to kill us just like that, right? "
"What's there to be afraid of?" The villager's wife said, "Some time ago, two beggars came to the village. They were just passing by and stayed at the villager's house for a night. They planned to continue on their way the next day. In the end, the next day, the five people from Old Zhao's family, who stayed the night at the east end of the village, were beaten up. They said that they shouldn't say anything to outsiders. Also, they brought back the beggar's clothes. They were stained with blood. Although they didn't say that he was dead, it was definitely not a good sign. If he was thrown into the mountains, he would be eaten in two or three days. Who would know in this barren mountain? So, if you don't leave the village, nothing can happen to you. If you leave the village, you definitely won't get better. "
Now that they knew the whole truth, the generals of the Tianhai military directly rushed out. "Motherf * cker, even if we have to cross provinces, we will kill this bastard!" "I can't ignore this matter. If I don't, I might as well die!" "Cross provinces, cross provinces, let's go together!"
The people from the Resource Chamber of Commerce were all completely enraged. "This is simply disregarding human life!" "There are actually such people in this era. F * ck, I can't take it anymore!" "Call for help now. Whoever knows someone over there, contact them immediately!"
"That's true." Hong Dali thought for a while. These words were probably true. He decisively lay down. "Then I won't leave. Sleep, sleep. Let's have a good rest first. Aiyo, I'm so tired!"
I'll note this down first. The rest of the matter will not be settled after I'm refreshed from sleep!
"Sleep first." The villager looked at the three of them. "You have just eaten your fill. Have a good rest first. We'll talk later."
Unexpectedly, just as Hong Dali lay down, Lai Fu suddenly called out urgently. "Help! Help! They want to kill me! "
What the heck, what's going on?
Hong Dali immediately sat up and ran out. As he ran, he shouted, "Xiaoyi, Xinxin, come quickly. Lai Fu is in danger!" Lai Fu was his good friend. He was a professional photographer!
Ling Xiaoyi and Tang Muxin didn't hesitate and hurriedly followed.
Among the three of them, Hong Dali and Ling Xiaoyi's attributes were maxed out. Once they started running, they ran extremely fast. Very soon, they reached the place where Lai Fu was calling for help. Just as they neared, Hong Dali heard a hooligan say, "This wild dog is really good at escaping. Damn, it's the best to catch it and choke it to make dog meat stew!"
