Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

"You said this is too evil. A thunderstorm in spring can strike a tree. It's nothing more than a strike, but it hit the educated youth center."

"Isn't it? Do you think this group of educated youths have done something outrageous, and God can't stand it?"

"Shhh, do you want to die, these feudal superstitions are not allowed now."

Even so, the members of the onlookers talked a lot, and privately felt that it was very evil.

The rural areas were originally superstitious, and how many people even gave up their own children because of a sentence that restrained their parents and mothers, let alone educated youths who had nothing to do with them at all.

After being struck by lightning, in the bottom of the hearts of most members, they believed that God had opened their eyes.

Gu Jianguo took his son to check the overwhelmed educated youth center. The camphor tree was impartial and fell straight towards the male educated youth.

How could the mud-brick house hold the heavy ancient tree? The roof collapsed and most of the walls collapsed.

When they arrived, a few female educated youths were crying and trying to dig out the wall on the other side, allowing the brothers from the Du family who lived on the outermost side to climb out.

After Gu Jianguo arrived, he organized the members to start rescue.

At the beginning, the members were still procrastinating and refused to move, and Gu Jianguo was so angry that he cursed: "What evils, they are all deceitful feudal superstitions, the glory of the party and the people shines on us, and God can't do anything about us. "

After speaking, he took the lead to rescue.

With him as a role model, the rest of the commune members were afraid in their hearts that they would dig the walls and dig the soil together.

Soon, another male educated youth was rescued. Except for some bruises, there were no other problems, but he was so scared that he couldn't speak fluently.

"Bang!"

Just after the male educated youth was rescued, the old tree that was pressing on the roof sank again, scaring the rescue members to flee.

Qian Zhiyi was in bad luck, because he didn't like others to touch his bed, so he lived in the innermost place. After the old tree fell, it was the place where the most serious pressure was placed.

If it wasn't for the double buffer provided by the roof and beams, Qian Zhiyi would have been crushed to death at that moment.

Although he is not dead now, it is not much better, Qian Zhiyi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Hurry up and save me!"

What he thought was loud was covered by the sound of the rainstorm, and the rescue members could hardly hear him.

Looking at the unmoving ancient camphor tree, the members were helpless.

"Dad, what should we do? This tree is too heavy, we can't move it at all!" Gu Baojia frowned and shouted.

Gu Jianguo also had a headache: "Qian Zhiqing, can you hear me, where are you, call us so we can save you."

But there was still no movement inside.

"Captain, Qian Zhiqing won't be crushed to death, right?" The members asked worriedly. They were not worried about Qian Zhiyi, but they were afraid that another educated youth would be killed, and the good reputation of the production team would be affected.

Gu Jianguo frowned and said, "Whether it's dead or alive, we have to find someone."

Wu Mengting has been standing by the side watching, her face fluctuating in the rainstorm.

She couldn't figure out why this happened.

In her memory, Qian Zhiyi's luck has been very good since she was a child. Other children always have bumps and bumps, but Qian Zhiyi doesn't have one, and even gets sick less often. She can pick up money on the road. .

Wu Mengting was always envious. Before her father and brother left, she once told her that the Qian family was very lucky.

As long as she follows Qian Zhiyi closely, makes Qian Zhiyi like her, and marries her in the future, then she can also share part of the luck of the Qian family.

Wu Mengting didn't believe it at first, but after observing slowly, she discovered that Qian Zhiyi can usually do whatever he wants.

Some things that she finds unbelievable are just ordinary when they happen to Qian Zhiyi.

It was because of this confidence that Wu Mengting was able to make up her mind to stay and even left her relationship to accompany Qian Zhi to the countryside.

She knew in her heart that as long as she followed Qian Zhiyi, her life would not be sad.

It was true at the beginning. Even though they went to the countryside, the two of them had money and food, and never had to work in the fields like other educated youths. For a better life in the future, Wu Mengting felt that she could bear it.

But I don't know when it started, everything changed.

Wu Mengting's face was ugly, she clenched her hands tightly, and stared at the collapsed house.

Is the Qian family really lucky? Then why did things go wrong for Qian Zhi? First, he couldn't find anything, and then he rolled down the mountain and broke his leg.

Years ago, Qian Zhiyi was bitten all over his head by bees in the mountains. He was afraid of being discovered by the commune members, so he found an excuse to go to Changhe County to see a doctor. He was hospitalized for several days before he was not disfigured.

Because of this, Gu Jianguo directly deducted a lot of work points from Qian Zhiyi, so that when the work points were divided at the end of the year, Qian Zhiyi didn't get much at all.

And now, he was crushed under the ancient tree struck by lightning.

This is simply bad luck, where does the good luck come from.

Wu Mengting clenched her teeth, her teeth creaking, and the terrible guess in her heart made her tremble all over.

Standing beside her, Xu Zhenzhen thought she was worried about Qian Zhiyi inside, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, the captain and the others will definitely find a way to save her."

Wu Mengting twitched the corners of her mouth. In the night rainstorm, her expression was distorted and terrifying, which made Xu Zhenzhen subconsciously swallow other words of comfort.

On the other end, Gu Mingdong inquired about the current situation, and frowned slightly.

Years ago, Qian Zhiyi was stung by a bee, and finally disappeared for half a month before reappearing. After returning, he was notified of the deduction of work points.

If Qian Zhiyi used to be proud, but now he is a prey. Because he doesn't like to work, he has a very bad reputation in the production team.

Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on the room, and he could feel the breath of living people inside.

It seems that the backlash of the incense burner is not too violent.

Gu Jianguo circled around the camphor tree. The dense canopy of this ancient tree almost submerged the entire educated youth center.

Soon, he found a way.

The ropes were tied to the canopy of the tree. Gu Jianguo personally named [-] young and strong young men from the production team. They were divided into six groups and pulled out in groups of five.

Gu Mingdong did not escape, and was assigned to a group with Li Tiezhu.

"1—2—3, pull!"

Before Gu Mingdong could speak, thirty people worked hard together.

No matter how heavy the canopy was, it couldn't withstand the efforts of so many young men, and was quickly dragged away from the roof, revealing the roof with a big hole in it.

"Quickly, let's see if Qian Zhiqing is still alive?" Gu Jianguo shouted.

In the end, no one moved, and a group of members who were quite active in pulling the tree just stood there watching.

Li Tiezhu approached Gu Mingdong, and said in a low voice: "You said that this educated youth is too unlucky. Other educated youths are fine, but he is still here. This is too wicked."

"Let's not get involved in this matter, let others go and see."

Apparently everyone thinks like Li Tiezhu, if this person dies, wouldn't they have seen the bloody scene in the past.

However, Gu Mingdong knew that Qian Zhiyi seemed unlucky, but in fact he did not suffer any serious fatal injuries, at least he is still alive.

Wu Mengting's eyes changed, what happened to Qian Zhiyi?She was tangled in her heart. For a long time, she was about to go forward, but there was a person who was faster than her and ran towards the educated youth office without hesitation.

"Qian Zhiqing, are you okay? Where are you? I'm here to save you."

While shouting, Liu Dani started pawing at the room with her hands regardless of her drenching.

Gu Jianguo was taken aback by her, frowned and shouted: "What are you doing, Big Ni, get out of the way."

Liu Dani didn't seem to hear what he said, and kept digging inside.

Unexpectedly, she actually found someone. Qian Zhiyi was already in a semi-comatose state. When he was half-conscious, he heard a woman's voice. He opened his eyes with effort, and saw that Liu Dani's photo was not beautiful, but Concerned faces.

"Qian educated youth!"

Liu Dani's scream penetrated the rainy night and reached the ears of other members of the production team.

The next moment, Liu Dani actually hugged Qian Zhiyi out of the room.

After Gu Jianguo was shocked, he saw Qian Zhiyi's face turned pale and covered in blood, and he was shocked: "Here, hurry up and send him to the hospital!"

"Others should go home, and those with old houses should pay more attention, so that nothing will happen again."

"Du Ming, you guys go to my house to stay for one night first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

As the team leader, Gu Jianguo must go with him when something like this happened to the production team, and the Gu family brothers naturally had to follow to help. Liu Dani held Qian Zhiyi's hand tightly and followed them.

On the other hand, Wu Mengting just lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, but didn't say a word.

The members around didn't care what Wu Mengting was thinking, and said, "What does Liu Dani have to do with Qian Zhiqing?"

"Hands are all closed, it's probably a secret date."

"Can her mother agree?"

"What if you don't agree? Now that marriage is free, why don't you run out to save people now."

"Then are we going to prepare a wedding wine?"

"When did you say the two of them got married?"

From what the members said, it seemed that Qian Zhiyi and Liu Dani were already dating.

Xu Zhenzhen took a look at Wu Mengting and didn't know what to say for a moment. Logically speaking, the educated youth institute knew that Wu Mengting and Qian Zhiyi were a couple, and the two were still childhood sweethearts. couple.

But now Liu Dani suddenly appeared, but Wu Mengting didn't say anything, which made Xu Zhenzhen very confused.

Wu Mengting didn't care what others thought, she returned to the room numbly, she didn't even have time to change her soaked clothes, she just sat there in a daze.

She didn't care about Liu Dani's affairs at all, and she didn't even care about what happened to Qian Zhiyi at all.

At this moment, the panic in Wu Mengting's heart continued to spread. Wu Mengting never thought about what she would do if Qian Zhiyi was no longer good and the Qian family didn't have great luck.

She snapped her fingers nervously, the calluses that had been born this year made her even more frightened.

If the eldest brother's guess is false, what should she do? Do she want to gamble her whole life?

At this time, Xu Zhenzhen and other four educated youths walked in.

"The male educated youth's side has collapsed, so there should be nothing wrong with us, right?"

"That side was crushed by a big tree, and we don't have any trees here."

"Hey, I'm scared to death, I don't know Qian Zhiqing..."

They glanced at Wu Mengting, and several of them squeezed their eyes.

In the end, Xu Zhenzhen walked over and asked, "Mengting, are you okay?"

"If you're worried about Educated Qian, you might as well catch up now. The captain and the others must not have gone far, and they can catch up."

"Mengting..."

Seeing that Wu Mengting hadn't spoken, Xu Zhenzhen reached out to pat her, but Wu Mengting screamed suddenly and slapped her hand away forcefully.

"What are you doing?"

"Zhenzhen cares about you out of good intentions. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. Why are you still beating me?"

The back of Xu Zhenzhen's hand hurt, and it soon became red and swollen, but seeing Wu Mengting biting her fingernails nervously, she quickly persuaded the other female educated youths: "Forget it, too many things happened this day, she is not on purpose."

"Let's change into clean clothes and go to bed quickly, it's been so noisy in the middle of the night."

The other female educated youths snorted coldly and didn't say anything after all.

Wu Mengting turned a blind eye to their reactions, she hugged herself tightly with both hands, and fell into a panic.

Days of torrential rain caused problems in many old houses of the production team.

It rains heavily outside, but light rain inside the house is the most common. All the pots and pans in the house are filled with water, and the ding ding dong dong is endless, making people unable to sleep.

At this time, because of the new house of Lao Gu's family years ago, the members of the commune who were rushing to renovate their own house, or built a new house, were now happy.

Seeing other people living in an old house in the rain, but my own house is clean, and I still have the desire to sit under the eaves and watch the spring rain, that is not a good mood.

Those members of the commune who were passionate and borrowed money to build new houses no longer regret it now, and feel that it is worth it in their hearts.

When Gu Mingdong returned home, Gu Mingbei immediately brought up a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup: "Brother, drink it while it's hot, don't catch a cold."

After drinking the hot brown sugar ginger soup, the whole person became warm. Gu Simei grated the ginger very finely, boiled it together and swallowed it. The spicy taste immediately dispelled the coolness.

Gu Mingdong let out a breath: "The whole body has warmed up."

"Brother, change your clothes first, and drink a bowl before going to bed." Gu Mingbei instructed, it's still cold now, with such heavy rain, it must be uncomfortable to be drenched for most of the day.

Gu Mingdong didn't go directly to change clothes: "Is there any ginger soup left? If you have any, put it in a jar and I'll give them some."

He is in good health, and being in the rain is no different than taking a bath, but the four next door will definitely not be able to hold on.

"I sent it there just now." Gu Simei quickly explained.

Gu Yun also gestured: [Grandpa is fine. 】

Just now Gu Mingdong brought the man back and was soaked all over. Gu Simei took the child to boil ginger soup, and first sent some to the next door in a coir raincoat, then warmed up the rest, and waited at the door for the elder brother to come back.

Gu Mingdong was relieved when he heard this, and drove them back to the house to rest first, and then went to the back room to take a combat bath and dry their hair, which was refreshing.

When he passed by the twins' room, he saw that Gu Liangxing was already asleep and snoring.

The bed next door was empty, Gu Mingdong went into his room and took a look, sure enough, Gu Liangchen was helping to warm the bed.

"Dad, come and sleep quickly." Gu Liangchen gave up the place he had just warmed up.

Gu Mingdong smiled and sneaked in. It has to be said that it feels good to have a small stove to warm the bed: "Thank you, Chen."

Compared with the elder son, the younger son is like a thoughtful little padded jacket.

Gu Liangchen was thanked, and smiled happily, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth in his dream.

The torrential rain in Shanghe Village this year came and went with a bang, and ended with a bang. The night before, there was another landslide and lightning struck an old tree, and almost no one was killed.

The next day, the torrential rain gradually subsided. The spring rain had just stopped, and the long-lost sunshine fell down again.

"The rain has stopped!" Gu Simei shouted in surprise.

"The sun is out!" Gu Liangxing couldn't help cheering.

Not only were they happy, Gu Mingdong was also very happy from the bottom of his heart. The days when it rained for half a month was really disturbing.

The sun was shining warmly on his body, and Gu Mingdong let out a breath, feeling refreshed.

Shanghe Village suddenly became brighter, but the mess left by the storm and lightning last night had to be cleaned up.

The place at the foot of the mountain is completely uninhabitable. The original thatched house was tightly crushed by the mudslide, but the pigsty side is safe and sound.

When Gu Mingdong went to feed the pigs in the morning, the six little piglets groaned and groaned, their appetites were excellent, and they had obviously recovered from the panic last night.

In comparison, people's ability to recover is worse.

Even after drinking the ginger soup, the three members of the Wu family fell ill one after another. Wu Xuanxuan was frightened at a young age, and developed a high fever that night. She had to apply cold towels all night before she retired.

Wu Xuanxuan just happened to be better, and Wu Wei and Zhou Zijin fell ill together. Wu Wei was better, but coughed a little badly. Zhou Zijin, who hurt her right hand badly last night, is now very swollen. He was too burned to speak.

On the contrary, although Zheng Tong was old and his left leg was injured, he had no other problems except walking with a limp.

Early in the morning, seeing that Zhou Zijin had a fever and started talking nonsense, and it was useless to apply a towel, Wu Wei had to ask Zheng Tong and find Gu Mingdong.

"I really can't help it, Comrade Gu, please help us one more time, I will not repay your great kindness in this life, and I will pay it back in the next life." Wu Wei said tearfully.

Zheng Tong also sighed: "His daughter-in-law was feeling unwell last night, so she insisted not to mention it, and was found out only when she got burnt out in the morning."

"Wait a minute." Gu Mingdong entered the room and dug out the antipyretics he had prepared for the children.

After thinking about it, he took another box of loquat cream. It was the first child in the family who had a cough last year. Gu Xiuxiu made it and gave it to him. It worked well after drinking it.

It was also Wu Wei's luck. People don't like to keep regular medicines these days. Gu Mingdong felt that Shanghe Village was too far away from the health center, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time, so he prepared some at home.

Just a few boxes of medicine, the price is more expensive than pork.

Gu Mingdong picked out antipyretics, and took another box of antibiotics: "This box is for fever-reducing, and this box is for anti-inflammation. Take it back and try it first. If it doesn't work, you have to send it to the hospital."

"You drink loquat paste with soaked water, it can cure cough."

"Thank you." Apart from thank you, Wu Wei didn't know what to say.

He knew from the bottom of his heart that with their identities, it was impossible for them to go to the hospital. Even if they did, they had neither money nor certificates, and the hospital would not treat these "bad elements" like them.

On the way back, Wu Wei couldn't help but began to wipe away tears, crying as he walked.

Zheng Tong knew that he was crying in his heart, so he just comforted him: "It will get better."

When he got outside the old house, Wu Wei stopped his tears, wiped the corners of his eyes and pretended nothing happened. He was the man at the head of the family, the pillar, and he couldn't show his vulnerable side in front of his wife and daughter.

Zijin and Xuanxuan are the only ones they can rely on, and he can't fall down, otherwise what will they do?

With this spirit, Wu Wei has been able to persevere until now.

"Zi Jin, we have the medicine, you will definitely get better."

On the bed, Zhou Zijin's face was flushed with fever, and her right hand was bruised. I really don't know how she endured it last night.

She won't answer anymore.

Wu Wei endured the distress and poured water to give her medicine. Fortunately, Zhou Zijin had a strong desire to survive, so he swallowed the medicine anyway.

"Mom, you will be fine." Wu Xuanxuan held her hand.

The four of Zheng Tong lived directly in the old house of Lao Gu's family, but the male educated youths were homeless.

The house they live in has been completely destroyed by old trees, repairing it might as well just build another one.

But farming will be busy soon, who has the time to help the educated youths build houses now.

Last night, Du Ming and the others directly stayed at the members' homes for one night, but this is not a long-term solution.

However, Gu Jianguo sent Qian Zhiyi to the town, and he still hasn't come back yet. The Du Ming brothers had no choice but to go back to the Educated Youth Office first, thinking about whether they could find something useful from the house.

The male educated youths searched bitterly, but the children of the production team were happy.

Cheers came from the production team from time to time, because once the sun started to rise, the temperature would pick up quickly, and the spring plowing could quickly catch up. Although Gu Jianguo hadn't come back yet, it didn't delay everyone from starting work.

The only trouble is that there is too much rain, and the seedling fields that have been prepared are completely submerged, and some water must be released first, so as to prevent the rice seeds from being soaked directly.

The adults started to get busy, and the children followed suit.

Because of the heavy rain in the past few days, the big river in Shanghe Village was already full, submerging the reeds near the river.

The paddy field is also full of ocean, and occasionally there are fish and shrimp wandering leisurely, obviously very satisfied with the tender grass that has just sprouted in the paddy field.

Li Tiezhu was the first to discover fish in the paddy field. The paddy field he was in charge of drained most of the water. He lowered his head to see the condition of the paddy field, but when he looked down, he saw a big fish swimming around in the paddy field.

This fish is also in bad luck, the water in the rice field is getting less and less, and it has nowhere to escape.

Li Tiezhu grabbed it with quick eyes and hands, and shouted in surprise: "There are fish in the field."

The surrounding members also caught a few of them one after another, and threw them into the bamboo baskets one after another. The fish is also meat, not to mention that it was for nothing.

This scene was seen by the children, and they all rushed into the rice field.

The fish in the rice fields are limited, some children catch them, but some children are empty-handed.

Gu Liangxing came late with Gu Yun, he asked Gu Yun to watch, rolled up his trouser legs and went down to catch fish. After fishing for a long time, he couldn't even catch small fish fry.

At this time, Zhang Xiaobao suggested: "Brother Xing, let's go catch fish in the river. There are fish in the fields, and there must be more fish in the river."

Gu Liangxing hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to catch fish, but before going out, Gu Mingdong told them that the river was rising and they were not allowed to play by the river.

"Would you dare to go or not?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.

Gu Liangxing was about to say go, but Gu Yun waved her hands desperately by the rice field: 【Father said I can't go. 】

Gu Liangxing saw that if he went, sister Xiaoyun would have to go home and complain, and then he would be fucked by his father.

Thinking of his father's big slap, Gu Liangxing restrained his desire to go: "Forget it, I won't go."

"Tch, why do you always listen to a dumb girl." Zhang Xiaobao said contemptuously.

Gu Liangxing was unhappy: "Didn't you promise last time that you would never scold my sister again, hmph, we broke up."

After finishing speaking, he stopped fishing, got up and dragged Gu Yun away.

Zhang Xiaobao fished in the rice field for a while, but still didn't get any fish, so after discussing with the others who didn't catch any fish, they decided to go to the big river to do a big job.
