The Li Jialing production team of the Xiangyang Brigade is active in a small team of red soldiers. The captain's name is Li Hong, and the vice-captain's name is Li Chuang. One day, Li Hong said to Li Chuang: "A lot of moths have been found on the artificial plain of Qingshiling in the team, do we red soldiers discuss the problem of exterminating moths?" ”
Li Chuang put two fingers in his mouth, only to hear a whistle, and in an instant, more than a dozen red soldiers came to Li Hong from all directions and quickly lined up. Li Hong said his thoughts, and everyone agreed, and immediately went to ask the production captain to fight.
Li Hong carried the flag, and the red soldiers sang "Red Star Song" to the door of the team committee. At this time, the team committee members were also discussing the matter of lighting the lamp and extinguishing the moth!
Li Hong stepped forward quickly, straightened his chest, and saluted his father: "Report to the captain, the red soldier asks to accept the task." Before Captain Li could speak, the red soldiers "brushed" one of them and said in unison: "Let the adults go to flood control, and we will take care of the task of exterminating moths." ”
Captain Li looked at this energetic revolutionary general, smiled so much that his eyes closed, and hurriedly said, "Okay! I'll leave this task to you! When the red soldier heard the approval, he jumped up with joy.
In the second quarter of the moon, more than a dozen red soldiers under the leadership of Li Hong, some carried shovels, some carried oil pots, some held bamboo sticks, and some held old teapots and wine bottles, marching majestically to Qingshiling.
When he came to the bluestone ridge, the red soldiers were preparing to build "fortifications", and suddenly a person came from behind, and it turned out to be Captain Li.
Captain Li came to the middle of the red soldiers, and while participating in the battle, he asked, "Do you know what kind of place this used to be?" The Red Soldiers replied, "I don't know." "Tell us about it! ”
Captain Li said: "Before the liberation, Qingshiling was a barren ridge, and the poor people in the village could not live, so they cut some dry wood on the ridge and picked it up on the street to exchange for a few liters of rice to make a living. My family and another poor peasant family did not have a single field, so they had to open a few palm-sized fields at the foot of this ridge and grow some miscellaneous grains to survive. ”
The landlord's mother-in-law, Wang Ma Mo, relied on her family's wealth and power to take Qingshiling as her own. In order to occupy this place for a long time, she also buried her dead landlord husband on the bluestone ridge. ”
Captain Li continued: "After the liberation, this landlord's wife often ran to her dog man's grave to cry, and was beaten by the militia several times. After communization, the masses leveled the grave. Wang Ma Moth has a bitter hatred for us, we must be vigilant!
Li Hong said indignantly: "No wonder Wang Ma Moth destroyed the wheat seedlings in Qingshiling this spring!" Students, we must be vigilant, prevent sabotage, and fight the battle of exterminating moths! ”
Under the guidance of Captain Li, the red soldiers surrounded twelve small pools with mud, tied twelve lampshades with bamboo sticks, and made twelve oil lamps from old bottles and teapots. Then fill it with oil and light a lamp.
Ho! In less than a bowl of tea, I saw a group of moths rushing towards the lamp, and one by one they fell into the pool to kill themselves! This battle was really exciting, the red soldiers said, laughed, and returned triumphantly with Captain Li in the moonlight.
Late at night, Li Wangfa, a wealthy middle peasant, was drunkenly walking back from his daughter's house, and just after entering the entrance of the village, suddenly a dark shadow blocked the way in front of him. "Who? Li Wangfa looked at it fixedly, and it turned out to be Wang Ma Moth.
What are you doing in the middle of the night? "Alas, it's hot, it's cool. Uncle Wangfa, I heard that the captain sent more than a dozen red soldiers to light lamps to extinguish moths, and your Li Chuang also participated, right? "I don't know, who said that? "Look noisy, Qingshiling shines like daytime!
Wang Ma Moth deliberately provoked and said, "Alas! Can you kill moths? I said Uncle Wangfa, can't you pour two catties of kerosene stove? Li Wangfa's heart moved when he heard this, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Li Wangfa returned home, saw that the whole family was asleep, and he didn't even have time to change his new cloth shoes, so he carried a bottle and walked towards Qingshiling while he was drinking. I thought to myself, a dozen moth killing lamps, pouring two oils for use will not have a big impact, you can save a few packs of cigarette money.
Li Wangfa had just entered the door with oil, but unfortunately woke up Li Chuang, who was sleeping on the bamboo bed. Li Chuang saw that his father was carrying a bottle in his hand, so he asked what it contained. Li Wangfa said that it was sesame oil poured from his sister's house, which brought Li Chuang over.
Wang Mamoth stared at the window with half of his head exposed, and saw that Li Wangfa had poured lamp oil and went home, so he hurriedly found a big oil pot from the house, and sneakily ran towards Qingshiling.
Wang Ma Moth poured out the oil from the other ten lamps. She gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Humph! I want to plant rice in my Baoshan soil, when the moth lays eggs, I call you rice into a stalk, and the particles are not harvested. ”
A rooster crow woke Li Hong from her dream. Li Hong was worried about the moth extinguishing lamp, turned over and got out of bed, and went straight to Qingshi Ridge.
Hey? Why are all 12 lights out? Li Hong shone a flashlight and found that the oil had dried up. She was stunned: I heard my father say that the oil of a lamp can be lit for more than ten hours, why did it dry all at once? When I looked at the ground again, I saw the footprints of adults.
Li Hong carefully checked around each lamp and found that there was an identical straw shoe footprint left next to the pool.
Eight or nine inches long. These feet are quite big!
Li Hong sat on the ridge and pondered: Dad didn't wear straw sandals, whose footprints did they belong to? Someone must have been here after we left, maybe someone stole the oil during the night? There were more and more question marks in her head.
The red soldiers were very concerned about the extermination of the moth, many people did not sleep well this night, and as soon as the fish belly was white in the east, Li Chuang took the red soldiers to run to Qingshi Ridge.
The red soldiers clapped their hands and laughed again. Li Hong said: "Don't laugh, although a lot of moths were killed last night, there is still a big moth king that has not been eliminated," Li Chuang patted his small chest: "The moth king is in **?" I packed. It made everyone laugh.
Don't be busy! Li Hong pointed with his left hand and said, "This moth king, with a pair of big feet, is afraid that it weighs a hundred pounds!" "Then I told you what happened last night.
Everyone pondered. Li Hong said: "Let's go! Let's take a look at the scene together. Li Chuang stopped in front of the first lamp, looked at it carefully, and said, "Look, there are not only straw shoe prints next to this lamp, but also a pair of large cloth shoe prints." ”
At this time, Li Hong also found the same cloth shoe print next to the second lamp. However, next to the other oil lamps, there are only straw shoe prints, no cloth shoe prints. Li Hong pointed to the straw shoe print again and said, "Look, this straw shoe print is really weird!" ”
Why is the sow of the straw shoe print so deep, but the heel and toe are shallow? Li Hong asked everyone a question. The red creeps circled around the other ten lamps and found that all the straw sandal prints were like this.
At dawn, the Red Soldier returned to the village. Li Chuang met Li Wangfa, who was working, he remembered the cloth shoe prints, and remembered the oil bottle that his father brought home last night, so he asked, "What kind of oil did you bring last night?" Li Wangfa said: "Eat, eat oil!" ”
Li Chuang had already walked away, and Li Wangfa was still standing there thinking about something. Suddenly, someone called him softly, and Li Wangfa looked back and saw that it was Wang Ma Moth.
Wang Mamoth said: "Uncle Wangfa, are you afraid that the red soldiers will find out what you did last night?" Li Wangfa was startled, knowing that Wang Ma'e had discovered his secret, and couldn't help but get nervous. But he calmly said: "You be honest and don't talk nonsense!" ”
Li Chuang returned home, and in the kitchen cabinet, he didn't find the oil bottle his father brought back, and then searched everywhere. At this time, Li Hong came and asked Li Chuang why he was rummaging around, and Li Chuang told her about his father's return home with oil last night.
Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "What shoes did your father wear last night?" "New cloth shoes". "So let's take our shoes to the moth-killing lamp and try the footprints. They took it and tried it, and sure enough, it was the same.
The cloth shoe prints next to the first and second lamps just coincided.
At breakfast, Li Wangfa went home, and Li Chuang asked loudly: "The oil you stole last night was put in **!" Li Wangfa was first shocked, and then said: "Who stole the oil, what is the basis?" "That's the basis! Li Chuang said with his shoes in his hands.
Oh, I'm going to see if the moth killer lamp is up to standard! Li Chuang said: "Hmph, you have never been active in doing collective things, and you still go to see the moth extinguishing lamp at night?" Ghost believe! ”
When Li Wangfa saw that his son had exposed his mistake, he was annoyed and angry, grabbed a wooden stick, and chased after Li Chuang. Li Chuang jumped over the fence and ran.
Li Wangfa went to work. Li Hong and Li Chuang looked for oil in the house again. Li Chuang finally found the oil bottle in a hole under the bed, which contained more than a pound of diesel.
At this time, the red soldiers came one after another. Some people say that Li Chuang's father's selfish thinking has not been reformed. Some said that they wanted him to review it at the general meeting. Li Hong raised a question, why the oil of more than a dozen lamps only has this point.
Li Chuang said: "Yes! There must have been a man in big straw sandals who stole the oil. Who is this man? Everyone was talking again.
Li Hong analyzed: "Judging from the footprints, it is likely that the small feet are covered with a pair of big straw sandals. Otherwise, why are the footprints shallow at both ends and deep in the middle? ”
The other red soldiers all agreed with Li Hong's judgment. Li Hong thought for a moment and said with certainty: "This person may be Wang Ma Moth!" "That's right! This landlord's wife often does bad things and destroys the agricultural village! ”
Li Hong said: "Let's discuss, can we find a way to find the straw sandals worn by Wang Ma Moth." "I've got a way to get the sandals out. Then Li Chuang told everyone the way he had come up. The red soldiers clapped their hands and applauded.
At noon, when Li Wangfa finished work, Wang Mamoth said to him: "Things are not good! The oil you took last night was copied out by the Red Creeps! Li Wangfa was secretly startled.
Li Wangfa was full of remorse and said angrily: "This is what you instigated me to do, I will sue you!" The landlord's wife said insidiously: "Oh, you can't say that, I said it casually that day, I spoke unintentionally, and I stole oil intentionally!"
Just when Wang Ma Moth and Li Wangfa were talking, Li Hong and Li Chuang came to Wang Ma Moth's house, Li Hong was sentry, Li Chuang flashed into Wang Ma Moth's house, and found a pair of straw sandals in the corner of the house.
Li Hong took it and saw that it was stained with half-dried mud, so he hurriedly took out the paper with the footprints in advance and compared it, which was exactly the same size, and asked Li Chuang to put it back in its place.
The red soldiers surrounded Li Hong and Li Chuang. Li Chuang said: "I finally took out the straw sandals, why do you have to put them back in their original places?" Li Hong smiled and said: "This is called don't startle the snake!" Wang Ma Moth hasn't found the oil he stole yet? Li Chuang suddenly laughed with realization.
Li Chuang said: "Can we find a way to go to Wang Mamo's house to find oil?" "I thought so too. Li Hong continued: "We must first do a good job of your father's ideological work. Let's go, go to your house! ”
The red soldier came to Li Wangfa's house. Li Chuang said to his father with an oil bottle: "You still don't admit it, what is this?" Li Wangfa said angrily: "What about stealing, I will return it, and I admit my mistake." ”
Li Hong hurriedly stopped Li Chuang, poured a bowl of tea, and gave it to Li Wangfa: "Uncle!" You only have a pound of oil in this bottle, but the oil for our moth-killing lamp has been stolen! "Stealing the light? Li Wangfa felt inexplicable.
Li Hong then said, "Uncle, according to the investigation, this matter is related to Wang Mamo, your eyes have to be polished, you can't stand with her!" "Look at what you say, how could I stand with her? Li Wangfa caused a fierce struggle in his mind.
Li Hong watched Li Wangfa's every move, and then said while the iron was hot: "Uncle, if you sincerely correct your mistakes, you should bravely expose Wang Mamo's crimes." With that, they left.
After Li Hong and the others left, Li Wangfa's heart was like fifteen buckets of water seven up and eight down. After a fierce ideological struggle, he ran to Captain Li's house in one go, checked with Captain Li about his wrong behavior of stealing oil, and exposed Wang Mamo's crime of instigating him to steal oil.
After listening to this, Captain Li said to Li Wangfa: "Old Li, you are fascinated by selfishness, and the enemy uses your selfishness to sabotage, and this incident is a profound education for all of us. In the future, you must follow everyone to socialism and communism! ”
After Captain Li's patient education, Li Wangfa's class consciousness was further improved, and he was determined to start a face-to-face struggle with Wang Mamo. So the two of them walked one after the other, striding towards Wang Mamo's house.
Besides, Wang Ma Moth was cooking on the fire in the house, when suddenly a small leather ball flew into the hall, and then a group of red soldiers rushed into the house. Li Hong said loudly, this ball is mine, and after speaking, he flew up and kicked the ball into Wang Mamoth's room.
Wang Mamoth hurriedly blocked the door with his body, and when Li Hong saw that he had a bottom in his heart, he shouted loudly: "Wang Mamoth, honestly confess your crimes!" Wang Ma Moth deliberately pretended to be garlic and said, "I, what do I confess?" ”
Wang Mamoth said as he retreated into the room, just about to throw the ball out. The red soldiers rushed in, and Li Hong wittily kicked again, and the ball rolled under the bed.
When Wang Mamoth saw it, he panicked even more, grabbed Li Chuang and said, "It's very dirty under the bed, I'll pick it up for you, I'll pick it up for you!" With that, he went under the bed.
It was too late, it was too late, Li Chuang had already gotten under the bed, and finally found the big oil pot. At this time, Wang Mamoth wanted to spill diesel fuel and destroy the evidence of the crime. Li Chuang and Li Hong tightly protected the oil pot.
Li Hong pointed to the oil pot and asked Wang Mamoth: "Where does this oil come from?" "Oil, oil is... Wang Mamoth knew that the matter had been revealed, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
The story of the Red Soldiers' fight against Wang Ma Moth spread quickly. The members of the club rushed to support the red soldiers and fight against Wang Ma Moth, and the door was full of people at that time.
Captain Li and Li Wangfa also came. Li Wangfa separated the crowd, pointed at Wang Mamoth and scolded loudly: "You son of a dog! You pushed me in front of me to block the wind, and secretly you wreaked havoc. Your heart is more poisonous than a snake and scorpion! ”
Li Wangfa said to the red soldier with a face full of shame: "Alas, I am selfish, and I fell for Wang Ma Moth!" Now I recognize this venomous snake that is not frozen. ”
Captain Lee went on to say that "we" must not forget about classes and class struggle. We must see not only the pests that destroy the crops, but also the pests that sabotage the socialist revolution and construction. We must take the class struggle as the key link, adhere to the party's basic line, and build the Xiangyang Brigade into a Dazhai-style brigade. ”
