Material Empire

Seeing the mocking smiles on the faces of Hong Gang and the soldiers, the woman knew that her performance had failed. However, as an actor with integrity, he has to complete the script even if he hits the street. This is the minimum professional ethics. She stood up, turned her head and yelled a line like Take care of my seventh uncle and grandpa, then raised the bottle resolutely, and gulped it down. After drinking, she threw the bottle and fell on all fours, foaming from her mouth.

The villagers who were howling in the back were all out of play, staring at the woman lying on the ground dumbfounded. The face of the man who was tired of being with the woman before changed color, and his feet moved a little, as if he wanted to rush up, but then stopped again. The matter of drinking pesticides to show their sadness was calculated in advance. Of course, the woman would not use this trick until there was no other way.

Team Leader Qin, the woman in front really drank the medicine... I smelled a pesticide smell, which seems real. Hong Gang kept his face calm and reported to Qin Hai in a low voice.

How did the villagers react? Qin Hai asked.

The villagers are shouting slogans, saying that we have killed people. Hong Gang said.

Is there anyone coming forward to rescue him? Qin Hai asked again.

Hong Gang turned his head to take a look, and replied: No, they are all looking at us, and they seem to want to wait for us to rescue them.

Bullshit. Qin Hai said disdainfully, They don't rescue anyone themselves, so why should we rescue her? Don't worry about her, we won't stop her if she really wants to die.

Okay... Hong Gang replied helplessly. Watching a woman who drank the medicine foam at the mouth in front of him, but he was indifferent, this is too different from Hong Gang's principles of doing things. But what Qin Hai said made sense, if this woman's life was really in danger, why didn't their own folks worry?

You...why do you refuse to save yourself? Finally, someone among the villagers couldn't bear it anymore, and ran out and shouted at Hong Gang and the others.

Hong Gang smiled and asked back, Why didn't you save him?

I... The villager was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he replied solemnly: It's not me who forced her to death, why should I save her!

According to what you said, if we saved her, it means we forced her to drink the medicine, right? Hong Gang asked, before the villager could answer, he gave the answer himself, Because of this , so we can't save her, whoever wants to save her.

No matter who forced it, you are soldiers, shouldn't you save people first? the villager asked.

Hong Gang sneered: I don't know what she drank. I think, if she really drank the deadly poison, would you just sit back and watch it like this? Since you are not in a hurry, it means that what she drank was not at all. Pesticides, why should I be fooled?

This... The villagers were dumbfounded, that's wrong, the other party shouldn't have said that, but the other party's logic is so strong, I really don't know what to say.

This Hong Gang is quite eloquent. On the other end of the intercom, Qin Hai and Zhang Xiangqian couldn't help laughing when they heard Hong Gang and the villagers bickering.

Zhang Qianqian said: Hong Gang is a city soldier, he has always been able to speak well, and he won the ranking in the speech contest in the division headquarters in the past. This time I let him take the lead, also to make use of his expertise.

Battalion Commander Zhang really knows people well, I admire him, I admire him. Qin Hai complimented him.

The scene has reached a deadlock. The woman lay motionless on the ground, not knowing whether she was really dead or pretending to be dead. The villagers stood behind and shouted and cursed, and some pretended to be mourning, but no one stepped forward to save people. Although Hong Gang wasn't sure if the woman was drinking real pesticides, but the people who saw her didn't move, so he had no reason to show sympathy. If a person can make her accomplices turn her back, it means that either she herself is full of evil, or she and her accomplices are both full of evil.

Squad leader, it won't work like this. Soldier Zhou Xiaoyu walked to Hong Gang and said in a low voice.

Then what should we do? Hong Gang said, If they don't attack our cordon, we can't do anything to them.

Zhou Xiaoyu said: At least get this woman away first, lie here, in case someone passing by sees it, they don't know what's going on with us.

How to get rid of it? We can't touch her, once we touch her, we won't be able to tell. Hong Gang reminded.

Zhou Xiaoyu smiled mysteriously, and then suddenly shouted in a terrified tone: Squad leader, look quickly, it's a snake!

When he shouted like this, everyone turned their eyes. Hong Gang noticed that the woman lying on the ground moved slightly, and her previously invisible breathing suddenly became heavy and rapid.

Where is there a snake, why didn't I see it? Hong Gang sang the oboe with Zhou Xiaoyu knowingly.

It's next to the sister-in-law who committed suicide. Look, she crawled out of the hole and was almost on her neck. Zhou Xiaoyu shouted.

The woman's neck seemed to stiffen all of a sudden, and her hair began to tremble slightly. She was obviously frightened by Zhou Xiaoyu's words, but she couldn't tell whether the words were true or not, so she was still struggling for the last time.

Zhou Xiaoyu didn't give her this chance. He found a small paper ball made of tissue paper from nowhere and sprayed water on it. It was wet and limp. He flicked it with his finger, and it just hit the woman's neck. superior. The woman pretended to be poisoned with her eyes closed. Hearing Zhou Xiaoyu's exclamation earlier, she always felt that there was indeed a snake crawling around her neck. The wet ball of paper touched her neck, and it felt like snake skin. She couldn't hold it any longer, and screamed with a voice of no less than 120 decibels, jumped up, and ran towards her husband.

Snake, snake, snake! she cried, running so fast that it was impossible to see that a second ago she was a corpse that couldn't die any more.

Ha ha ha ha!

The soldiers all burst into laughter, and the villagers were ashamed as they witnessed this scene, and many of them tried their best not to laugh. The woman rushed to her husband's side and realized that she had been cheated. She stopped, rolled her eyes, and hesitated to fall down again. Her husband gave her an annoyed look, said, Don't be ashamed of yourself, stamped his feet, parted from the crowd, and walked away angrily.

Seeing someone leave first, the other villagers looked at each other and moved backward one by one. They didn't expect the toughness of the other party, and they also lacked real warriors who dared to risk their lives. If this continues, there is really no chance of winning.

Your people are gone, do you want to stay or go back with them? Hong Gang walked up to the handcuffed villagers who were thrown in the corner and asked coldly.

If you beat the old man, I will sue you at the Public Security Bureau! A white-haired old man glared at each other angrily.

Say whatever you want, Hong Gang said, but you have to tell me first, do you want to go back obediently, or do you plan to stay in our barracks?

Do you dare not let me go! the old man challenged.

Hong Gang's face sank, and he turned around and ordered: Lei Guoqing, take him to the confinement room and lock him up for 12 hours.

Yes! A soldier ran over, grabbed the old man and walked into the yard without any explanation. Originally, in order to deal with disobedient drivers and cargo owners, Qin Hai and the others prepared several small dark rooms in the yard. Now the small black houses are all empty, and they are just used to house these troublesome villagers.

Among the more than 20 villagers who punched the card, there were more than a dozen who gave in. After making a promise that they would never commit another crime, Hong Gang had their handcuffs removed and they were pushed out of the warning area. In addition, seven or eight people, like the old man before, felt that the soldiers did not dare to do anything to them. In the end, they all enjoyed the same treatment as the old man, and were locked in a dark room without windows, allowing them to reflect.

The villagers reluctantly returned to Xingchuan County. Those who were locked in the small black room, after experiencing a dark, silent, lonely and helpless night, all of them were shitting, and they were no longer domineering before. Hong Gang released them and sent them out of the camp together with Lu Dashuang and others who had just been released from house arrest. Qin Hai found out with his conscience at the last moment, and asked Hong Gang to help them hire a minibus for passenger transport and take them back to Dongdaogou Village.

To tell you the truth, Mr. Qin, what happened that day really made me sweat. If they really all rushed up, I don't even know what to do?

A few days later, Zhang Xiangqian was still a little scared when he talked about the villagers rushing to the checkpoint that day.

Soldiers come to block, water comes to soil, what's not to deal with? Qin Hai said indifferently, I later communicated with Xin Jinlong and others, and they said that the common people's mass incidents are actually trying your government's hand. .They also know that they are in the wrong. If you are soft, they will get worse. If you are tougher, they will admit defeat.

They were defeated by us this time. Tell me, what will they do next? Zhang Xiangqian asked.

Before Qin Hai could answer, Hong Gang shouted a report outside, and then walked in.

Team Leader Qin, Battalion Commander, look, this is the Southern Economic Guide we just bought at the county newsstand. Hong Gang handed over a newspaper and said.

Qin Hai and Zhang Xiangqian took the newspaper and took a closer look, only to see a long newsletter on the second page of the newspaper. The newsletter is full of pictures and texts, and the subtitles match each other. In the photos accompanying the article, Qin Hai and Zhang Xiangqian saw the scene of the villager punching the card a few days ago and the woman lying on the ground pretending to be dead and foaming.

The headline of the newsletter is: The Death of Little Steel: A Feast of Human Flesh Under the Banner of Rightness.
