Duan Zetao's hometown is a small mountain village in southern Jiangnan Province. It is the birthplace of the famous "Jiangnan Uprising" in history and produced many founding generals. [ ] Duan Zetao's family background is not good. His father died of illness a few years ago.
After his death, his mother supported the family by feeding pigs. Due to overwork, her back became hunched early and most of her hair turned gray.
When his father died, he left nothing behind. The only valuable thing was a jade pendant, which his mother wore with a red string and kept wearing it around Duan Zetao's neck. The jade pendant was very clear and it was obvious at first glance that it was not a mortal thing. It is said that his father made it
I have been a farmer all my life, and my ancestors have never heard of any prominent figures. I don’t know where this jade pendant came from. When I asked my mother, she didn’t know for sure. She only said that her grandfather, who had passed away long ago, vaguely mentioned that his father was not his biological child.
, but I picked it up. I took the jade pendant with me when I picked it up.
Duan Zetao is the only college student in this small mountain village. It is a very sensational thing in this small mountain village. In ancient times, this was considered to be a successful candidate. He will be a high official in the future. When Duan Zetao went to college and had less tuition, he still had to go to the old party secretary's house.
We went door-to-door to collect money. You gave me ten dollars, and I collected the tuition fee with ten dollars.
It was already dusk when we got home. The air was filled with the fragrance of earth, and smoke was rising from the low-rise houses. When the villagers saw Duan Zetao, they were very enthusiastic and greeted each other. This feeling made Duan Zetao feel very warm.
Seeing her son come back, her mother Zhang Guihua was very happy and quickly prepared something delicious for him. Duan Zetao put down his salute and saw that there was no water in the water tank. He picked up a bucket and was about to fetch water. Zhang Guihua quickly stopped him and said, "You have been riding in the car all day.
I'm tired, let's take a rest first!" But Duan Zetao insisted on filling the water tank with water, and rushed to chop the pig grass and feed the pigs. He was usually not at home, and all the housework fell on his mother.
Naturally, I have to do my part when I come back.
Zhang Guihua was naturally very pleased to see her son so sensible. Duan Zetao was her greatest pride in her life. In the evening, her sister Duan Xiaoyan and her brother-in-law Zhang Dali heard that Duan Zetao was back and rushed over. Her sister Duan Xiaoyan dropped out of school early to help Duan Zetao go to college.
My mother helped and later married Zhang Dali, an honest farmer from the village. When Duan Zetao was not at home, they often helped their mother, Zhang Guihua, with housework.
My sister Duan Xiaoyan went to help Zhang Guihua make dinner. Her brother-in-law Zhang Dali pulled Duan Zetao to sit at the dinner table first and drank rice wine with the prepared dishes. According to the customs of his hometown, the status of women is relatively low, and they must
In the past, women were not allowed to serve at the table when eating, so they had to bring bowls and eat in the stove.
Duan Zetao insisted on waiting for his mother and sister to come to the table before using chopsticks. During the meal, Zhang Guihua asked about Duan Zetao's work assignment. Duan Zetao did not tell his mother that he had given up going to the provincial government agency. He only said that he was assigned to the Shannan Autonomous Region Government. Zhang Guihua was very
She was happy. In her eyes, her son was the best, and his decision was naturally correct. Her brother-in-law Zhang Dali drank some wine, his face was a little red, and he said with the help of the wine: "Xiao Tao, you are now promising.
You are from the government, so work hard, and when you get rich, you can bring your mother to live in the city, and your sister and I will also benefit from it."
After resting at home for a month, the day came soon to report to the Shannan Organization Department. The mother was reluctant to leave her son and sent him to the bus station more than ten miles away.
Duan Zetao gave Duan Zetao a hundred yuan, but Duan Zetao was determined not to. When he graduated, the school gave him a scholarship of more than a thousand yuan, plus the money he saved during his regular work-study program, he had more than two thousand yuan, which should be enough to pay his salary after he arrived at the company.
It took several transfers to get to Shannan. At this time, there was no expressway to Shannan, and the road conditions were poor. Duan Zetao was still relatively strong, but his bones were almost falling apart from the jolt. This could be regarded as the first insult given to him by Shannan.
.
Duan Zetao's first impression of Shannan was that the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous. There are towering mountains everywhere. The winding mountain roads wind around the mountainside, and there is a bottomless abyss on one side. I don't know what happened to the drivers of minibuses.
He had developed the ability to turn without slowing down. Several times, Duan Zetao found that half of the tires of the minibus were exposed outside the road, which made him frightened, but the driver acted as if nothing was wrong.
Duan Zetao's second impression of Shannan was that it was poor and backward. As the capital of the Shannan Autonomous Region, Shannan City has very few large-scale high-rise buildings. Most of them are short buildings with four or five floors, and most of them are very old. There are no large shopping malls.
, the supermarket does not look like a modern city at all.
After bumping on the road for seven or eight hours, it was almost dark when we arrived in Shannan. The organization department had already got off work, so Duan Zetao had to find a room in a nearby hotel to stay and take a hot bath to wash away his fatigue.
, and had a packed lunch in the small restaurant downstairs. Seeing that it was still early, we took a walk along the street to see the night view of Shannan.
The road planning in Shannan is so bad that it looks like it has been trampled by a herd of rhinos. There are twists and turns of alleys everywhere. Although it is not as prosperous as the neon lights in the city in the previous life, there are still many people walking on the street. The strangest thing is
In the small shops with red lights along the street, they were filled with women wearing heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes. From time to time, some men came in and out. Duan Zetao vaguely guessed what kind of business was going on here, but he had never been involved in such a thing in his previous life.
place, so I couldn’t help but take a few more looks out of curiosity.
After a few more glances, I saw trouble. A woman with eyelashes as long as a broom, a mouth painted like a blood-red chicken butt, and a tropical rainforest under her arms came over to chat with her. "
Hey, handsome guy, come in and have some fun, keep it comfortable!".
Duan Zetao was so sick that he wanted to vomit, and he quickly turned around to leave, but the woman just started to drag her away. She grabbed Duan Zetao's arm and pressed it with two strong lumps of pork belly on her chest. There was a pungent smell of perfume.
Duan Zetao was so angry that he covered his nose and said, "I'm not kidding, please let go." Duan Zetao refused sternly, "What are you being serious about? Don't worry, it's not expensive. It's only thirty yuan to eat fast food. You can even brag and cook."
It’s only fifty yuan, very cheap!” The woman still kept pestering her and refused to let go.
Duan Zetao didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he shook his hands and broke away from the woman's pull. However, the force was too strong, and the woman was wearing high heels, and she was unstable and fell to the ground. The woman was obviously not a vegetarian.
Sitting on the ground, he howled: "Third brother, someone is bullying me, come on!" While calling people, he scratched the air with both hands, looking very aggressive.
As soon as the woman shouted, a burly man with a shirtless body and tattoos rushed out of the red lighted shop next to him, followed by several fierce men. Duan Zetao saw that the situation was not good, and recalled the time when he came here just now.
There was a police station just around the corner, so I quickly ran towards the police station.
The burly man and his men chased him all the way. When he saw Duan Zetao running into the police station, he sneered and followed him without flinching. Duan Zetao rushed into the duty room of the police station and shouted: "Officer, there are gangsters chasing me.
!".
In the duty room of the police station, a policeman was standing with his legs propped up on the table, leaning on a chair and happily reading a book "Storytelling", with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. His police uniform was open and unbuttoned. When he saw Duan Zetao, an uninvited guest, running in, he
He frowned and his face darkened.
At this time, the sturdy man also walked in, followed by the charming woman and a few horse boys. The policeman and the sturdy man quickly exchanged glances. They obviously knew each other and had a close relationship. The policeman lifted his foot from the
He put it down on the table, blew out a smoke ring, and asked in a long tone: "What's going on!".
The tough burly man complained first: "Officer Li, this kid molested Yingzi and even beat her up!" The woman also yelled: "Officer Li, you have to make the decision for me!" The policeman turned around and looked at her.
He looked at Duan Zetao and said sternly: "I can't see it. You are such a gentle man, but you dare to molest women!".
Duan Zetao had experienced many stories of police collusion in his previous life, so he knew not to panic at this time, so he calmly argued: "Officer, if there is no investigation, you have no right to speak. You only listened to one side of the story, how could you conclude that I was molesting women!".
The policeman's expression changed and he said angrily: "Hey! You're so arrogant! Do you want the police to teach you how to handle cases?! Take out your ID card!"
Duan Zetao handed his ID card to the policeman. When the policeman saw that Duan Zetao's ID card showed that he was from out of town, and he didn't dress like a kid from a rich family, he probably had no background, he thought, "You molest women, you will be punished according to the "Public Security Punishment Regulations"
You will be detained for a week, and since it is your first offense, you will be fined 500 yuan!"
Duan Zetao has also seen the world, so naturally he will not be intimidated by him. He protested loudly: "You punished me without investigating. I don't accept it. I want to see your leader!" The policeman became furious and slammed the table and stood up.
He got up and said, "You are so rebellious! Do you want to see the leader whenever you want?! I will arrest you and lock you up for a few days to see if you are still honest or not!" As he said this, he grabbed the handcuffs hanging on the wall.
