Chapter 239 Tragic Events in Harbin
Everyone kept talking about it, "Why is it so chaotic again?"
"Isn't it going to be another famine?"
"Don't worry, we've made a lot of money in the past few years. We can save and pool our money together and get through it."
"It was only three years before, now it's ten years, how can I survive?"
"That's nothing. We were able to survive without a penny in the past few years. Who dares to say that they don't have a few hundred dollars at home now? There's nothing to worry about."
In the past, Li Laizi was always the first to find fault, get annoyed, and pick problems when faced with these major events that concerned his personal livelihood.
After seeing the world and dealing with people a few times, his horizons have broadened. Not only will he no longer make trouble when speaking or doing things, but now he will even take the initiative to stand up and ease everyone's tension.
Gu Mingyue noticed this change out of the corner of her eye and felt a sense of accomplishment.
The people around her have made progress, which means that her previous efforts have not been in vain.
Whether it's opening a workshop or constantly spreading what she sees and hears in the outside world to the villagers, what she does, after all, is to make sure that everyone prospers together and suffers together.
As long as the village gets better, whether she is the branch secretary or she is senior, she can reap the benefits, and the future days will surely be smoother.
Back to the scene, after Gu Laoliu burned all the papers, only one piece showed text.
This was also what Gu Mingyue did deliberately.
She was worried that Uncle Gu would react quickly and leave the remaining papers for inspection. She couldn't guarantee that he would not be discovered, so she only made three sheets just in case.
Brother Gu Liu should have burned two of them on the mountain. Seeing the last one completely dissipated, Gu Mingyue's heart was completely relieved.
Gu Mingwei then asked the others, "Has anyone else seen it?"
The villagers looked around and saw no one answered, so they couldn't help but gossip...
"Why did you entrust the letter to Lao Liu alone this time?"
"Do our ancestors value him so much? He was the first one to discover it last time."
"No wonder Lao Liu's life has been getting better and better since then. It turns out that someone is protecting him..."
This statement has more and more supporters, so that everyone has gradually gone from being skeptical to believing it firmly.
Gu Laoliu was so frightened at first, but when he heard this, he actually had the illusion that this was exactly the case.
He narcissistically thought that his ancestors must have seen through the phenomenon and recognized his incomparably excellent character. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Looking at the people below who were talking to each other, he unconsciously felt that he was superior to them, and an inexplicable sense of pride arose spontaneously...
Now he was no longer afraid. He bowed earnestly towards the tablet in front of him, chanting words of thanks for their blessings.
Gu Guoqiang really wanted to find a few pieces of paper to verify his guess, but he didn't expect that after burning for so long, only one piece of paper had words on it. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the ancestors didn't want him to interfere?
Thinking of the prophecy in the past, the materialistic balance in my heart wavered again. Maybe our ancestors really couldn't bear to see their descendants suffer, so they made exceptions again and again to remind them? ?
He frowned and thought: What did those ten years of turmoil represent?
Recalling what Mingyue had said about Jing City, he called her over and whispered, "Could it be related to the civil unrest you mentioned earlier?"
"This is the most likely possibility. I was just planning to hold a meeting to tell everyone that there have been a lot of disturbances in various places recently, and I wanted them to keep a low profile, but I didn't expect this to happen. Brother, what did you talk about in the meeting yesterday?"
Gu Mingwei sighed, "It's the neighboring town's business. The president is afraid that we will have a similar tragedy, so he told the village offices to go back and take good care of the villagers. Qingshan Town doesn't allow that. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we will send them directly to the Public Security Bureau without further ado."
Gu Mingyue guessed that they were afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. No one could guarantee that someone would not take advantage of the chaos. This must be the reason why the town had been peaceful.
Because nothing about the base has been announced to the public, it has become a taboo. At least, as long as the Shen family does not fall, Qingshan Town will be a pure land. Anyone who dares to touch here must be prepared to be liquidated.
Thinking of this, she felt more at ease, so she said, "Brother, my classmate wrote to me and mentioned something. I didn't pay much attention to it. After this prophecy, I roughly know what the unrest means. It happens that you are all here, so I will talk about it together and you can listen too."
"That's good, it saves everyone from making wild guesses."
Then, Gu Mingyue clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, "Quiet, quiet... It's rare that everyone is here, and I have something to say. Have you heard about the plight of the family in the next town?"
A villager replied, "How could I not know? What a waste of such a good person. At that time, his family helped many people, and our relatives even went to get rice. He was a well-known philanthropist. What a pity..."
Gu Mingyue went on to say, "Yes, it's a pity. However, I received news that there are more than one such incidents. Not only here, the fighting in the city is even more fierce. There was a family in Harbin. The younger sister brought her husband back to her parents' home. At night, the brother-in-law accidentally heard the eldest brother talking in his sleep and calling "Taijun". The next morning, he went to report the other party as a traitor and reactionary. His eldest brother explained that he dreamed of the old Taijun's birthday, but no one believed it. They all thought that it was impossible for their family to kill their own relatives for the sake of justice. That day, a group of people came to the house to search the house, and soon found a photo. Although it was just a photo of a single person standing in front of a building, it was pointed out that the background behind was a building built when the Japanese devils were there. This time, there was complete evidence. The next day, the eldest brother of this family was dragged to the suburbs as a reactionary and executed by firing squad in full view of the public."
The villagers were in an uproar after hearing this, including Uncle Gu, whose expression became solemn.
Someone subconsciously asked, "What about his family?"
"My eldest brother's parents could not bear the blow. One had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, and the other died on the spot. He also had a ten-year-old son who was beaten to death when he was criticized. His wife buried her son and went to her brother-in-law's house that night. She carried firewood filled with kerosene and a machete in her hand. She killed people first and then set fire to the house, and died with her brother-in-law's family. No one could imagine where she got the strength to do so. According to eyewitnesses, she didn't scream until the end when her whole body was burned. She just waved the knife mechanically. Later, she blocked the door with her body, and no one could get close to put out the fire. Of course, they didn't dare to get close. The fire burned the whole house. All night long, until now, the people who were present at the time seem to still hear the screams, and they can’t sleep well every night. Many people have moved away. Only then did someone tell the truth out of conscience. It turned out that the brother-in-law of that family had taken a fancy to the divorced daughter of the leader, and wanted to get rich overnight, so he wanted to get rid of his wife’s family by reporting it, so that he would not be criticized. It is also said that the reason why the eldest brother’s wife was able to successfully burn the brother-in-law’s family to death was not because the people inside could not rush out, but because the sister was holding them tightly inside. She knew that it was her husband who caused the eldest brother’s family to be broken up and died, and they were in great pain. The arrival of the eldest sister-in-law made her feel relieved, and she desperately dragged everyone to hell together...”
