Chapter 5 The Legend of Guidawan (4)

Lin Jianguo appeared in this small town on the edge of the Yellow River three years ago. It was also a time of late autumn and early winter. On a dusty afternoon, he was leaning on a wooden stick with a wooden stick hanging on it.

Wan, carrying a small bundle and wearing ragged clothes, walked into this small town.

At that time, his name was not Lin Jianguo. People in the town called him Gou Sheng'er, so that his famous name Lin Fugui had been forgotten by people. He didn't like others to call him his famous name. Instead, others called him this rough little boy.

When he was named, he would smile very honestly, and his promises would be very sincere, so people became accustomed to calling him Gou Sheng'er.

This is not shameful, after all, rural people believe in rough names to support their children. In that era when two dogs, dog babies, and leftovers were running around everywhere, such a name was very common.

In the first few months after arriving, Gou Sheng'er lived in a remote alley or any place sheltered from the wind. Later, he lived in an uninhabited shack.

There were not many people in the town, but at that time, they were simple and kind-hearted. They guided Gou Sheng'er to live in that shack. Although it had been abandoned for some years, it had wind-blocking walls on all sides. It was better than sleeping on the street.

It's always much stronger.

So Gou Sheng'er went happily and has not moved out until now. Some old people in the town said that Gou Sheng'er was a person who remembered his gratitude.

At the beginning of his arrival in this town, Gou Sheng'er's life was difficult. After all, he had no foundation here. He could only do odd jobs for others, go to other people's homes to make ends meet, and when there was no work to do,

It means you are hungry. If kind-hearted people can give you a mouthful of food, just eat it. If not, then endure it.

But he never leaves this small town and goes to a bigger place or a better city to make a living.

So someone asked: "Gou Sheng'er, are you fleeing from your hometown?"

At this time, Gou Sheng'er will look at his head and smile naively, indicating a certain acquiescence.

"Well, Gou Sheng'er, this town is not big and it's hard to make a living, so why don't you go to a bigger place? After all, even begging for food in a bigger place is better than here?" The person who asked the question carefully organized.

With the wording, even if he was a fugitive, he didn't want to hurt other people's self-esteem. That was the kind of friendship that could only exist between people in that relatively simple era.

"I won't go to a big place anymore. After a few years, I will always have to go back. If I go far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. The popularity here is already good, and it doesn't make sense to go further." No matter who asks, Dog

Shan'er's answers are all the same, but what is popularity? People in the town don't understand, and they wonder if it means that there are already a lot of people in the town and it is much better than the village?

He is really a person who has never seen the world, and the people in the town don't want to persuade Gou Sheng'er too much. They just sighed secretly in their hearts.

"I thought that Lin Jianguo would be escaping in our town all the time, and then he would save some money and tickets, etc., and then go back. Who knows that other people have the luck to go to the timber transportation office. But this is not luck at all, it is because other people have the ability.

Opportunities are always given to those who are capable, and Lin Jianguo is hiding this secret." At this point, Mr. Liu took a sip of the wine that the old woman had poured into the cup for him, and said with emotion.

"I mean, Liu Er, you've been talking in circles for a long time, but you haven't gotten to the point yet. What kind of skills does this loser, no, Lin Jianguo have?" The old woman was a little dissatisfied.

Mr. Liu stopped drinking and stared blankly at the old woman. The old woman was so worried that she wanted to curse. Then Mr. Liu sighed and said, "I asked you what happened in your mind."

, if you can’t remember, I’ll make it clear, right? Do you still remember Wei Dahan? He’s the Wei Dahan from the east end of our town.”

"Ah." The old woman responded, then slapped her thigh and said, "Yes, yes, I remembered, Wei Dahan, Wei Donglai. The most powerful and boldest person in our town used to be our town.

He was the first person to work in the lumber transportation office. It’s a pity that such a good young man died in his first year of work! But this matter”

"The year Lin Jianguo came here was the first year that the Timber Distribution Department was established here, and it was also the year that Wei Dahan died. This matter is related." Liu Erye said with a sigh.

"What? You mean Lin Jianguo has calculated the time to come to our place so that he can go to work at the timber transportation office?" The old woman was a little confused.

"That's not what I mean. This is a coincidence. Why are you in a hurry? Listen to me slowly. Do you think this timber transportation department is not evil?" Liu Erye seemed to fall in love with the sighing thing as he finished this sentence

He sighed again, and then said: "Wei Dahan was not the first one to get into trouble. The bad thing is that he was so courageous, so it was his turn to be the first to get into trouble."

"What's wrong with the wood transportation department?" The old woman seemed to have never heard of this incident.

Mr. Liu picked up his wine glass and began to talk without any pretense.

Speaking of Mr. Liu, he used to be quite popular in the town, because before the liberation, Mr. Liu’s father was a half-way Taoist priest, and I don’t know if he had any ability. But whichever family organizes a wedding or wedding event, always let him

Mr. Liu's father came forward to organize it. Later, Mr. Liu inherited his father's business and started doing this, which gained him some popularity and prestige in the town.

Later, after liberation, the government promoted science and provided literacy classes for people. Gradually, this became less important in people's minds. Liu Erye's career also faded away, and the government also assigned him a

Mr. Liu got a pretty good result when he went to guard the gates of government agencies.

This is the case on the surface, but this is not what Liu Erye thinks in his heart. His father is a Taoist priest. Although he is a Taoist priest with no ability, his 'superstition' about some things is deep-rooted. This kind of thinking has undoubtedly been imperceptibly influenced by

I won’t say too much about Mr. Liu, but there are many taboos and rules that are extremely important to Mr. Liu. It’s not necessarily a good thing to kill him with just one shot.

But the trend of the whole society is such that Liu Erye, as smart as he is, will not stand up and go against the whole society. He keeps guarding the door of the government unit with peace of mind. Until two years later, according to the topographic advantages of this town, the timber

The transportation office was established here

This was a big event in the town, and it was a "sensation" in the whole town at that time, because the conditions offered by the Timber Transportation Department for recruiting workers were so good that every household in the town was eager to get in.

However, due to the special nature of the work, they generally only recruit strong young adults and even very few female workers, only a few who are responsible for logistics, such as cooking and so on.

This makes the quota even more precious. After all, there is nothing else in the town, and there are still many strong young people. The old woman thought that according to Mr. Liu’s good popularity and prestige in the town, and her eldest son’s conditions were suitable, she could enter.

There is no problem at all, but his eldest son was not able to get in. He did not get in during the recruitment period. It would be difficult to go back in the future. For this, the old woman blamed Mr. Liu a lot.

"I deliberately don't pay attention to this matter, but I haven't told you the truth all these years. Do you think the timber transportation office is a good place? Absolutely not. It is built in the backwater bay? Where is the backwater bay? And

It’s called Guidawan, but it’s Shuidawan

The place where the class (floating corpses) gather is so gloomy, do you think it can be cured? If you are not a lucky person, you can't help it at all. Going to work there will only reduce your luck and luck. It is a trivial matter, and your body will also suffer from long-term exposure.

Yin Qi will spread very quickly.

That's how things work at the timber transportation department." Mr. Liu opened his mouth and couldn't hold it back.

This is a thought that he has buried in his heart for many years. Even his old lady didn't say this thought, but he couldn't help but express it today.

"Then what you mean is that you deliberately prevented our eldest son from going to work?" This was the first time the old woman knew what Mr. Liu was really thinking, and her eyes widened.

"Isn't that nonsense? Don't forget what my father does. Even if he doesn't have any real skills, don't he still know the taboos? I won't accidentally let my son die for money.

I have quietly looked at the horoscope of my eldest son, and he is not a tough-minded person! Do you know? Since the establishment of this timber transportation office,

, seventeen corpses were recovered in the first year, but no family members were found for any of them. Do you think they don’t believe it? Some nights, didn’t I come back in the middle of the night and tell you that I went drinking with so-and-so? That’s nonsense, in fact, that’s what happened.

The person in charge here asked me to do something for him." As Mr. Liu said this, he drank up the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Is this happening?" The old woman was a little scared.

"How else can I lie to you? When the timber transportation office was not established in Guidawan, do you think people from our town would go there? We all know that it is a very evil place, and so many people have to drown every few years before it counts!

No one cared about it before. The water had been floating for a long time. He either sank or floated away again. To put it bluntly, Wei Dahan died here.

Actually! Wasn’t it because seventeen corpses were fished out that year? Something happened to the last corpse. It was the last corpse that caused the accident. I wanted to discuss moving with you at that time. I looked at that posture and thought that only two or three of them would die.

Ten people will never give up. In the end, do you know who will solve the problem?" Mr. Liu put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at the old woman seriously.

"You mean Lin Jianguo?" the old woman asked with some uncertainty.

"It's him! If he hadn't taken action, our town would have been prepared to do nothing. If there was no such situation where every family had something to do, it would never have ended." Mr. Liu's expression was unprecedented.

serious.

"Old man, you're not bragging, are you?" The old woman didn't believe it. Who could be so sure about something that didn't happen?

"Am I bragging? Haha, if you don't mind being scared, I'll tell you the whole story." Mr. Liu may have drank two more glasses of wine, and there were two blushes on his face.
