Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

chat?

What a load of rubbish!

Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!

Lu Weiguo cursed Zhao Kaishan in his heart!

What is that?!

How could his wife get hurt?

Damn it, it's already merciful of him not to wipe out this old Deng's den.

You want to talk to him again?

Time flies by.

Three days is like a fleeting moment for busy people.

The county town, at the north end, on the mountaintop!

At this moment, nearly a hundred people, including Lu Weiguo, gathered together.

Besides the forestry workers, many hunters and mountain dogs from the commune also rushed over after hearing the news.

People always love to join in the fun.

It also includes thirty-four hunting dogs.

However, these hunting dogs, which are usually extremely fierce, were unusually quiet today.

Every now and then, I would look back at a little cat behind me.

Especially the hunting dogs that were close to Lu Weiguo.

It keeps giving its owner meaningful glances.

It's as if it's saying, "Get away from this terrifying animal!"

This thing isn't a kitten!

On a temporary platform erected on the mountaintop.

Zhao Kaishan, Qian Yunshan, and several other leaders from various departments gathered together.

We chatted while waiting for the time to pass.

The entire area was under police protection; this was arguably the biggest event in the entire county in over a decade.

The rooster crowed.

The mobilization meeting for this hunt has officially begun.

Upon hearing the rooster crow, the leaders on the platform stood in a neat row.

Then the forestry leaders brought out roosters, steamed buns, sugar cane, jujube cakes, pastries, and other items, and laid them out together.

Apart from the rooster that was alive.

The rest of the offerings were all steamed dough or items like melon seeds, representing the sun.

Large-scale hunting.

The first thing we always do is worship the mountain god.

This was rare for the commune, but the forestry workers relied on the mountains for their livelihood.

Every time they go up the mountain to cut timber, they have to go through the same process.

Of course, that's why forestry workers are in the main position.

This is because, except for a few areas, most of Northeast China is mountainous.

In those days, timber from the mountainous areas accounted for 80% of the county's economy.

The forestry leaders are also half a grade higher than the county party committee leaders.

"Time's up, let's worship the mountain god!!"

An elderly man with a white beard, holding incense, is the most respected elder in the forestry industry.

Three sticks of incense are lit to worship heaven, earth, and heroes.

The old man knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times deeply towards the direction of the forest.

Then, the old man made a strange sound.

The content of the tune leans towards the format of a divine invocation.

But what it specifically describes are the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the development of Northeast China over the years.

From the beginning of the War of Resistance against Japan to the first group of heroes who went up the mountain to cut timber for national construction.

The melody was lengthy, but no one objected.

Wait until the tune ends.

Zhao Kaishan nudged Qian Yunshan in the waist.

"Feudal superstition? Weren't you going to arrest people? Why aren't you?"

Qian Yunshan cracked down on feudal superstition, and the provincial leaders who came to investigate were arrested.

This matter has been the talk of the town for the past few days.

In particular, the leader's surname almost made Qian Yunshan consider running away.

Otherwise, Lu Weiguo wouldn't be here.

"Fuck you! You wait, if you push me too far, I'll kill you even if it kills me!"

Qian Yunshan had a smile on his face, but at this moment he had lost all dignity.

"Hey! Swearing! It's not very dignified to swear in this situation. If the mountain god comes and hears you swearing, he might just take you away."

Zhao Kaishan suppressed a smile.

He's been in the county town as a leader for so long.

This is the first time I've seen this old guy behave so inappropriately.

"Even if I go to hell, I'll take you with me, Zhao Kaishan. You're really ruthless, gouging out my eyes like it's nothing!"

Every place has its own rules. Our internal strife is our business, but you fucking brought in outsiders to investigate.

"You don't follow the rules. Even if you become a local official in the future, do you think anyone will respect you?"

Qian Yunshan was referring to a consensus among officials of that era, including those of later generations.

Especially in later generations, mayors and party secretaries, whether real or fake, will always stand on two sides.

Too much harmony is not conducive to subsequent review.

Too much tension is not conducive to economic development.

No matter how much internal strife there is, it won't attract the attention of disciplinary inspection commissions from other regions.

After all, who can clean up their own mess? Once you become a leader, who can guarantee that you won't have any problems?

But Zhao Kaishan really showed no mercy and directly summoned people from the provincial party committee.

Lu Baomin, among others, was invited by Zhao Kaishan through his connections.

"That's none of your concern. By the way, did you prepare a way out for yourself? I'm quite surprised to see you today. If I were you, I would have run away long ago."

Although Zhao Kaishan doesn't use a single swear word when he speaks, every word he says is piercing to the heart.

Upon hearing this, Qian Yunshan's face turned as black as charcoal.

run away?

He doesn't need to run away.

Go ahead and investigate. Even if you investigate thoroughly, you'll only find the facts and process, not the factual basis.

After all, those beasts probably found the places where he hid his money.

Fortunately, his wife left early and took a large sum of money with her to the south.

"Fuck you! You wait until today is over, I'll die right here in front of your house."

Zhao Kaishan chuckled upon hearing this, glancing at Lu Weiguo out of the corner of his eye.

He sighed inwardly, thinking, "You've offended that brat. I'm afraid you won't even live to reach my doorstep."

When the Kings of Hell fight, the underlings are a real handful.

In the end, Zhao Kaishan was willing to stand on Lu Weiguo's side.

Aside from having witnessed Lu Weiguo's methods firsthand.

They were terrified that this young man, whose insight far surpassed that of ordinary people, might be hiding in the shadows and cause their family's ruin.

Qian Yunshan was unaware of Lu Weiguo's abilities.

How could he not know?

Two letters could help him stabilize the situation.

He then caused Qian Duolai to die on the mountain.

He wasn't afraid of open opponents like Qian Yunshan, but he feared hunters like Lu Weiguo who lurked in the shadows, ready to fire a sneak shot at any moment.

"Come on, come on, I've prepared a coffin for you."

After Zhao Kaishan finished speaking, it was as if he was celebrating his words.

The forestry workers just happened to light the firecrackers!

Voices rose from all around as all the hunters sent by the forestry department to the mountain took out aluminum wine jugs.

They bumped into each other and downed most of it in one big gulp.

It gives off a strong feeling of the heroes of Liangshan.

However, at that moment, Officer Liu met with the situation.

I dodged the crowd and walked toward the platform.

He sidled up to the county committee members and mentioned a few names.

The faces of the leaders who were gathered with Qian Yunshan all changed.

Then, forgetting that the worship of the mountain god was not yet over, they continued.

We followed Lao Liu and ran towards the county town!

Correct!

Just run!

Forestry has a large presence and a large workforce!

They all came in forestry vehicles.

Then I suddenly heard that my son had been arrested for soliciting prostitution.

These leaders no longer have the nerve to borrow a car from the forestry workers to go back to the county town.

"It's up to you!"

Old Liu mouthed the direction in which Lu Weiguo was pointing.

He glanced at Qian Yunshan and the other man again.

He comforted himself, saying, "Out of sight, out of mind. Even if someone dies, it has nothing to do with me."
