Since 1981 Health School

Spring is here, everything is recovering, and it is the season of animal breeding, and the air is filled with the smell of hormones.

Vice-President Chen, who took office as a new official, specially set aside a few days to inspect several communal health care centers under the leadership of President Yan.

This is the responsibility of a "leader". If he doesn't go, the subordinates will say that the leader doesn't care about the grassroots workers. If the superiors know about it, they will think that he has no big picture and only thinks about his own one-acre three-point land.

Being an employee and being a leader have different thinking, different structures, and different jobs.

The 10 communes in Huangtan District are all located in the mountains. If the conditions are better, there will be a dirt road or machine-plowing road, which can be slowly swayed by donkey carts.

But there are still many communes located in the deepest part of the mountain. For example, the "Longdong Commune" that Chen Qi is going to go to today is probably the commune with the highest altitude in Huiji County. There is not even a complete road, and the whole process is done by walking.

The mountain road goes up and down, twists and turns. The scenery is really good, but it is really tiring to say that it is tiring.

Chen Qi had already taken off his Chinese tunic suit and sweater, and was only wearing a autumn coat, with his hands on his hips, panting from exhaustion, and the medicine box for outpatient visits was also thrown aside.

"Dean Yan, how far is this Longdong Commune? Oh my god, if I go on like this, my knee joint will be scrapped."

Dean Yan, who is in his fifties, is much calmer. The old man is used to walking on mountain roads, and he knows how to save energy by making tricks.

"Young man, you lack exercise. You can't take it after just walking a few steps. In front of you is Xiawan Village. Let's go there to rest and find a place to have lunch. Longdong Commune is still a long way away."

"Okay, it's really not easy for the people of Longdong. If they go out to the mountains, they will die! What did their ancestors think back then, to settle in such a remote place?"

"Hmph, you think everyone is as useless as you, and you even say that you are also from the mountains."

While chatting, the two walked towards Xiawan Village, one old and one young.

"Xiao Chen, let me tell you that if the experience of Huangtan can be promoted, if you can solve the financial difficulties at the grassroots level, you will definitely be the first to do it. It will be of great benefit to your political future, so you must take it seriously. .

Next time the health center invites you to share experience, don't refuse, remember what I told you, you not only have to keep your head down, but also look up at the sky. You are still young, you should go to a higher position in the future. "

Chen Qi is not very willing to go out to exchange experiences. Once he goes out, he will spend at least 3 days back and forth, and he has to deal with the reception politely. Just drinking can kill him.

After he went there once or twice, he didn't want to go again, which made Dean Yan anxious.

In the words of later generations, this is called "hype". How can you hype if you don't go out of the mountain and don't communicate? How can we grasp the political achievements without hype?

Chen Qi panted heavily and said:

"Dean, I still want to buy a general anesthesia machine, so that I can perform more operations. We have to make money. If I communicate outside for ten days and a half months, it will be a waste of time and money. "

"You boy, hey, what an idiot, you should..."

Before Dean Yan finished speaking, Chen Qi could see a lot of people gathering together in the village at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and gongs and drums would sound from time to time.

Chen Qi was quite surprised: "Dean Yan, what do you think is going on in this village? Worshiping the gods or watching a play? There are so many people."

Dean Yan is from the mountains and has a lot of experience. If you take a closer look, you can see something wrong:

"No, something is going to happen in this village, do you see a woman kneeling by the pool at the entrance of the village?"

"Yes, what's the matter? What is this for?"

"It's bad, it's bad. The entrance of Xiawan Village is not a good place. Have you seen the deep pool? I'm afraid they're going to lynch. Let's go."

The two of them ran on three feet and two feet, and quickly ran to the foot of the mountain.

There is a pool at the entrance of Xiawan Village. The water in the pool is dark green, and no one can tell how deep it is, but the strange thing is that the villagers never come to this pool to fetch water and wash clothes, and they are not even willing to approach it.

Because since ancient times, an unknown number of Xiawan villagers died in this pool, and they were all lynched to Shentang.

Xiawan Village is located deep in the mountains. Even though it has been liberated for many years, the Yao clan in the village is still very powerful. It is so big that it likes to use lynching to replace the national law. This is a well-known secret in Huangtan District.

This is also the reason why Dean Yan saw something wrong at a glance.

When Dean Yan and Chen Qi ran to the entrance of the village, almost all the villagers of the village gathered in the small square by the pool, and one villager was beating a gong.

"Dangdangdang~~~ Everyone, come and see, the Yao Wang family in the village has no shame, has committed adultery, and is pregnant with evil seeds. Today, the elders of the clan decided to let the Yao Wang family sink into the pond, and warned the relatives in the village to keep their heads. Self, respect the three obediences and four virtues, abide by women's morals~~~"

A woman with her hands and feet bound and her hair disheveled was crying and explaining:

"I'm wronged, uncle, I'm wronged, I didn't commit adultery, I didn't stay a widow all this time, I didn't do anything wrong to the Yao family."

An old man was so angry that he stood up from his chair, pointed at Yao Wang's nose, and cursed:

"Nonsense, you didn't feel sorry for your dead husband, why did your stomach grow up? Yao Wang, you are almost 50 years old, your mother has done it, and your grandma has also become one. You let your children grow up like this How can you hold your head up?"

"I didn't, I didn't, uncle, I can die, but you can't wrong me~~~"

Hearing the woman's cry, none of the surrounding villagers sympathized with her:

"How is it possible, your man has been dead for several years, how did your belly get bigger?"

"It's a shame that you still refuse to say who the adulterer is."

"That's right, our Xiawan Village's face has been completely humiliated by her, it's degrading, it's degrading."

The surrounding villagers all looked filled with righteous indignation, pointing at the woman kneeling by the pool, their words and expressions were mostly disdain and contempt.

Not far away, several young men knelt on the ground and wept bitterly. They were the two sons of the Yao Wang family. I don't know if they were crying because their mother was about to die, or because they were crying that they would lose face in the future?

On the contrary, the children kept crying for their grandma, but they were beaten up by their mothers.

"Don't go there, that's not your grandma, she's ashamed, and it will damage your reputation in the future!"

The clan elder looked at the sun in the sky:

"Okay, it's already noon, today I'm going to apply family law on behalf of the ancestors of the Yao family and your dead husband, Mrs. Yao Wang, if you have anything to say, go to the underworld and tell your ancestors, come here , put her in a bamboo cage, and prepare to sink into the pond."

At this time, the gong sounded again, and the long trumpet unique to Echu, which was specially used for funerals, also began to sound.

Several young and strong guys from the village stepped forward and lifted Yao Wang's family up...

Bamboo cages, also called pig cages, were originally column-like objects tied with bamboo strips for the convenience of transporting pigs.

Later, I don’t know how it became a punishment for men and women who have committed adultery within the family.

The usage is also very simple, that is, lock people in, put a few big stones in the bamboo cage, and then throw them into the pool or river, and let the people inside drown alive.

This method of death is cruel and desperate. People in pig cages will struggle, beg for mercy, and howl before they die.

So the clan elders would let the whole village, men and women, watch, as a lesson for everyone, and let everyone see the consequences of adultery and derailment.

To mention a word, the pig cages are often held by women, not by men.

why? Is it normal for men to have concubines? Besides, what if someone is stolen from outside? This is a man's ability, and he can brag while drinking.

But women can't. If a woman cheats and steals a man, it is simply obscene and shameless. Everyone can spit on her.

When the villagers in Xiawan Village heard their uncle yelling "close the bamboo cage, sink the pond", most of them were expressionless, but a small number of them showed embarrassment.

As soon as a few strong boys lifted the woman on the ground, they were about to stuff it into the bamboo cage.

I saw this woman with a big belly, but she resisted very fiercely, and she was still shouting loudly:

"I didn't commit adultery, I wasn't pregnant, uncle, you don't know right from wrong, I don't accept it, I don't accept it even if I'm a ghost. Ah Cheng, Ah Liang, you have to trust mother, mother didn't do anything wrong to your father, mother didn't!"

The uncle was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he threw his crutches on the ground:

"Diao Fu, you are still stubborn now, you are shameless, you have lost the face of the Yao family, quickly, quickly throw it into the pool!!!"

"I don't accept it, I didn't steal anyone, and I don't accept it even if I'm a ghost!!!"

Several strong men tied the bamboo cage tightly with hemp rope, then lifted it up and was about to throw it into the pool, when suddenly someone shouted from behind the crowd:

"Everyone stop!!"

Everyone turned around in astonishment, and there was only one thought in their minds, "What? The adulterer is coming to rob the execution ground?"

I saw an old man and a young man rushing into the crowd, pushed aside the crowd forcefully, and rushed to the edge of the pool.

Dean Yan was panting, because he ran so fast that even one of his feet flew away, while pointing at the woman in the bamboo cage, he cursed:

"Uncle Yao, you, are you old and confused? It's a new society now, you dare to use lynching? You are breaking the law, do you know?"

Although Chen Qi has never eaten pork, he has also seen pigs running. There were many such scenes in film and television dramas in his previous life, and he did not expect to encounter them today.

But now I am eager to save people, so there is no time to gossip, so I quickly shouted to a few villagers:

"Put it down, put it down quickly, beware of slippery hands, do you know that you are killing people? This year is 1983, not 1883. You are looking for death and want to be shot."

Several villagers have already lifted the bamboo cage in the air, and if they let go of the bamboo cage, it will fall into the pool, and the gods will be hard to save.

When the villagers heard that it was not a throw, it was not a throw, and they looked eagerly at the clan elders in the field.

Uncle Yao is also identifying people: "Are you Yan Quanxin from the hospital?"

Then he got upset:

"Dean Yan, even if you are a cadre, you can't take care of our housework, right? If something so scandalous happened to our family, if we don't deal with her, will we Xiawan villagers have the face to go out in the future?"
