Zhai Laosong, the old village chief and party branch secretary of Zhai Village, is more than half a year old and has spent his time as a veritable public servant for the people of Zhai Village.
Instead of repaying the kindness, the villagers robbed him of the fruit forest that he had contracted to work hard for three years. Zhai Laosong remembered that everyone is a descendant of the same ancestor, and did not sue the official, in order to educate the group of legally illiterate, the police arrested a few people who took the lead in robbery, but they sneered at the police, saying that Zhao Laosong did not sue, why did you arrest us, and also said that the fruit forest in the village would hang fruit in his hands, so why should the benefit of God let him get it alone - the police said that they were purely Diao Min.
Zhai Laosong hated those stupid people, despised them in his heart, hated them, and left the village to build a small cabin in the mountains and forests.
But in the face of an ice dam that threatens to destroy the entire village, he decisively decides to save the lives of the villagers.
Because at the same time, a solemnity, a sacredness, an unshirkable sense of mission surged in his heart, a great compassion for his kind, and a pity for life. There has never been a moment when he Zhai Laosong has deeply experienced such a sentiment. It was the power of a superhuman will, a force that made him involuntarily.
He sent his 14-year-old son, who had gone out hunting with him, to find his son-in-law, Zhai Maosheng, the new head of Zhai Village and the secretary of the new party branch, and the son came back to report that his brother-in-law was not at home.
Xiumei, the daughter of the women's director, went to the county seat for a meeting again, and Zhai Laosong knew that his son-in-law Maosheng liked the young widow Qianzi, so he knocked on the door of Qianzi's house and really found Maosheng.
Zhai Laosong didn't have time to investigate, it was important to save the lives of the whole village, he asked Zhai Maosheng to follow him to climb onto the roof of Qianzi's house to see the huge ice dam, and then ordered Maosheng and Qianzi to go separately to inform every family to flee to the mountain quickly.
Not many people believe that ice dams are really dangerous on early spring mornings, and most are reluctant to leave their homes. Zhai Laosong took the lead in burning his house, and then Zhai Maosheng also burned his house, but there were still people who did not leave their homes. So, Weng and his son-in-law set fire to the houses of the whole village, and then forced the whole village to the mountains.
At this time, Zhai Laosong picked up a county **, saying that three nearby villages were flooded, and asked him to blow up the ice dam quickly. In order to complete the appointment, Zhai Laosong was going to blow up the ice dam, and he knew that it was very likely that there would be no return. Maosheng asked Qianzi to flee to the mountains quickly, but Qianzi ran back halfway, and she had to wait for Maosheng to leave together.
At this time, Zhai Laosong asked Maosheng to leave and Qianzi to stay. Mao Sheng said that he did not agree with his father-in-law doing this, but Zhai Laosong forced him to do so with a shotgun.
When he saw three bundles of money falling from Qianzi's body, Zhai Laosong realized how much Qianzi loved life and was only 27 years old. If you let Qianzi die for her daughter Xiumei's love rival, she is very lacking in morality. He asked Qianzi to go back to the mountain.
Zhai Laosong blew up the ice dam alone, and as soon as he reached the bottom of the ice dam, he was buried alive by the fallen corner of the ice dam.
Zhai Maosheng, who is the village chief and the secretary of the old party branch, took the initiative to take over the task of replacing the old man to blow up the ice dam. He dug Zhai Laosong out of the ice grave with both hands and found explosives, but the wind was strong and the matches couldn't be struck. At this time, a pair of hands blocked the wind—it was Qianzi coming.
The fuse was only more than one meter, and after the match was struck, when the ice dam was blown up, Maosheng and Qianzi were also blown up, and their bones were broken in the air.
When the county magistrate came to the countryside, Zhai Laogen asked for a monument to be erected for the three dead people, and asked for funds to be allocated to every family for post-disaster reconstruction. The villagers felt that Zhai Laogen had the courage to come and elected him as the new village head. Xiumei didn't ask for the forty yuan when she split the money, but Zhai Laogen didn't say to anyone that Xiumei didn't ask for it, Zhai Laogen later left the village, but the whole village only remembered her goodness, and no one remembered Zhai Laogen, Zhai Maosheng, and Qianzi's life-saving grace. Only Xiumei took her younger brother to sacrifice the three dead souls.
