"Ah, I know, I know."
Wang Ke took over the conversation and said excitedly: "Teacher Wen, you are saying that this bronze bowl was brought by the eminent monk from Tianzhu. After thousands of years, it was finally passed on to Emperor Shunzhi for use." Wang Ke heard this from Yan Jiao's grandfather. However, the copper bowl was brought from western India, and obviously Professor Wen’s story must be related to this.
Although Professor Wen was surprised, he was still satisfied that Wang Ke understood his story. "Yes, children can be taught. This bronze bowl is an Indian model, and the five words 'one bowl, thousands of families' rice' on it are also said to have been engraved by Shunzhi. As for why this bronze bowl fell into the hands of that old beggar, I I don’t understand, but it must be a sacred object coming from Mount Wutai, and it must be related to this.”
"Ah!" Ye Xianqian screamed and snatched the copper bowl away. "This also belongs to me for safekeeping."
Professor Wen laughed.
When Wang Ke saw Ye Xianxian snatching away the copper bowl again, he became furious.
Who knew that Professor Wen was not in a hurry and spoke to the side: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I think it is OK. Is it left by Emperor Shunzhi? I will help you research it when I go back. I will guarantee that you can use these two things." Leave it to Ye Xianqian for safekeeping for the time being."
Wang Ke really couldn't resist Professor Wen's words.
When Ye saw Professor Wen's support, he immediately shook the pony tail on the back of his head, pursed his flat lips and made a face at Wang Ke, with an expression that seemed to say, "What are you going to do with me?"
Wang Ke decided to call it a day. Fortunately, the two bundles of canceled treasury bonds were placed in the company's small parcel warehouse and were not brought with them, otherwise they would have lost everything.
"Is there anything else?" Professor Wen asked.
"No, no." Wang Ke felt a little guilty and secretly said in his heart that the days are long and he will come back to Professor Wen when he has the opportunity, and he must not let Ye stand aside. The most tragic thing for a person is to fall into the same river twice and drown. When no one was paying attention, he took out the pendant Ye Qianqian gave him from his pocket and put it into the empty shell box.
In the next two days, the flood waters receded fifty to sixty centimeters every day, very fast. The villages that had emerged from the water were in a mess, which made people feel sad. However, the vast majority of villagers still dare not go into the water. The village chief also sternly warned everyone not to act rashly. The only thing now is to wait for the safest time to come.
In the meantime, Professor Wen was impatient and ran to the back mountain several times to take a look. Looking at the tree, a lot of it has been exposed, at least the trunk can be seen. "Xiao Wang, do you think we can set up a raft and go there to have a look?"
"Teacher Wen, I think you don't have to worry. We'll wait until the water recedes. The danger is still very high now. Besides, you can't see anything when you get there on the raft." Wang Ke thought to himself, it's better to wait until he has time to himself. Go there with Gu Maolin. Cold stings, warm equinox, no cold weather after the equinox. It is also possible to wait until noon to swim over.
What did you do in the past? Let Gu Maolin draw a circle and not do any useless work. Find out where there are shipwrecks, even just start the excavation, so that you can keep digging along the ancient river.
When Professor Wen heard what Wang Ke said, he felt it made sense. I was too anxious to eat hot tofu, so I had no choice but to go back to elementary school.
At this time, section chief Chang Gaofeng and the village chief were leading the young adults to spread quicklime inside and outside the primary school, and sprayed disinfectant on the toilets and large livestock sheds. All drinking water must be clarified with alum before boiling and drinking. Due to the effective measures, more than a thousand people in the village, plus dozens of livestock, lived together in the primary school, and there were no cases of illness.
Wang Ke followed Professor Wen to the elementary school, but the village chief found him there.
"Monitor Wang, I'm looking for you."
"Village chief, what's going on?"
"I want to discuss it with you. Once the water recedes, you can see that even the assault boat can't get in, and we can't get out. Should we send someone out next?"
"Is there something urgent?"
The village chief said: "I am definitely anxious. After the water recedes, we will need cement and bricks to rebuild our homes, and we will need seeds and fertilizers for self-production. If we don't go out now, we will have to wait when the water recedes completely. Should we go out first?" ?”
After listening to the village chief's words, Wang Ke also felt that it made sense. It was also feasible to manage the amount in advance appropriately. This flood affected more villages, but the ones that were less affected may have started moving now. And Nanshao Village is at the innermost place. It will definitely be a little late for Nanshao Village to think of this. "Village chief, what do you think?"
"I think I will take a few young people to wade out first, and then go to Baocheng City and Jinmen City separately to buy some things. I will entrust the village to you, and you will act as the temporary village chief. Once the water recedes, let everyone go Clean up your own home, and then cooperate with you to plan the roads and canals, and organize the roads and crop fields in the village. This will not waste work."
"Village Chief, let Chief Chang take the lead on this matter. Can I take the initiative?" Wang Ke felt great trust after listening to the village chief's words, but he still lacked experience. Chief Chang and Professor Wen were both here. The youngest.
"No, no, no, all the young and old men in the village still listen to you. Besides, the village still relies on Section Chief Chang for planning matters, so we can't drag him into this trivial matter. Professor Wen doesn't want to inspect it? If we need manpower, Monitor Wang, you Arrange directly.”
"Okay, village chief, when do you plan to leave?"
"I think it won't be too late. Let's leave at noon. I'll leave the security director and the women's director behind to help you. Our village cadres will have a meeting later and we'll leave immediately. So I came to see you and want to invite you. Also attend our executive meetings.”
"Okay." Wang Ke turned back to Professor Wen and said, "Teacher Wen, you go back first. I will keep your matter in mind, and I will give you an accurate letter this afternoon."
Professor Wen saw the village chief's affection and trust in Wang Ke from the side, and also heard the village chief's words. He couldn't help but admire Wang Ke again, "Okay, you can go and do your work. But the village chief is out. , can you please let us follow you back to Jinmen? Maybe she can help Nanshao Village and lead the way."
"That's great! That teacher Ye, right? She even donated 200 yuan to our village." The village chief is no stranger to Ye. On the day he arrived, Wang Ke took the clothes and money donated by his class, along with Chang Ke The chief and Ye handed it over to the village chief together. The village chief asked the accountant to do the accounting and issue receipts. In the future, these will be announced to all the young and old men in the village.
"Donate money, why didn't I know you were donating money?" Professor Wen asked quickly.
The village chief suddenly realized his gaffe. Professor Wen was just a passerby and he talked too much. "Professor Wen, this is none of your business. They also care about Nanshao Village. This heart..."
Professor Wen waved his hand and immediately interrupted the village chief. "Don't say that, we are not guests, let alone passers-by. When we came to Nanshao Village, we saw squad leader Xiao Wang and many people still sleeping in the open air and crowded in tents, but they gave us the best rooms. How could I stand by and watch when Nanshao Village suffered such a huge flood? I donated five hundred, and I immediately asked my comrades who were traveling with me to donate as well."
"No, no, no, Professor Wen, we can't accept this money." The village chief expressed his position hurriedly. He also regretted what he said carelessly just now.
"Xiao Wang, you come with me first." Professor Wen left without looking back. This is the temper of intellectuals.
Wang Ke looked at the village chief and followed Professor Wen to withdraw the money. Then he arrived at the headquarters next door. At this time, the cadres of Nanshao Village had almost arrived. Wang Ke handed the money to the village chief. "The village chief, Teacher Wen and the others donated 700 yuan."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," the village chief shook his head and handed the money to the accountant, "Register it. We will build a monument at the head of the village in the future, so we can't forget this person."
After speaking, several cadres in the village discussed it, and everyone talked about it. The division of labor was easy to handle, and the village's affairs were easy to handle, but the biggest problem came, insufficient funds. Whether it is purchasing bricks, tiles, cement, lime, or purchasing seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural tools, this is a lot of money. Where does the money come from?
While they were discussing, a "Report!" sounded outside the door.
When Wang Ke heard it, it was Gu Maolin's voice. "Come in."
As soon as Gu Maolin opened the door, he was followed by Staff Officer Sun from the army and Director Cui from the county. This was their fourth visit to Nanshao Village. "Oh, we almost couldn't even get in the assault boat. The flood receded too fast." Staff Officer Sun was saying.
When Wang Ke saw this, he immediately stood up and raised his hand to salute Counselor Sun. "Chief, the cadres of Nanshao Village are discussing going out to purchase things to rebuild their homes and produce things for self-rescue."
"Haha, we are just in time." Staff Officer Sun stepped forward, held the village chief's hand, and said to the cadres in the room: "Dear village cadres, we have come to donate to Nanshao Village today under the instructions of the chief. We all The regiment cadres and soldiers donated a total of 73,121 yuan to Nanshao Village, as well as 381 cotton coats, 381 quilts, 5,000 kilograms of white flour and 5 tons of diesel. I have already brought the quilts and coats." It is obvious that the regiment Each household is guaranteed a coat and a quilt. After speaking, Counselor Sun took out a check from his pocket and handed it to the village chief.
"Long live the People's Liberation Army!" Someone in the room shouted. This was really a timely help.
"Comrades, don't worry. On behalf of the county party committee and the county government, I have sent 100,000 yuan in relief to Nanshao Village to help you rebuild your homes and organize production and self-rescue!" Director Cui of the county also took out a card from his pocket. Cheque.
The village cadres in the room immediately applauded. The village chief opened the door and rushed into the courtyard of the primary school. He shouted loudly: "The old and young men in the village, the old and young men in the village, the cadres of the People's Liberation Army and the county have sent us Donate money and relief funds to help us rebuild our homes and organize production to help ourselves! Thank you to the party, the government, and the People's Liberation Army!"
The primary school was in an uproar, and everyone rushed outside the headquarters.
Wang Ke moved a desk, and Staff Officer Sun climbed up and stood on the pickup truck. "Fellows, Director Cui from the county has sent a relief fund of 100,000 yuan. All the cadres and soldiers of our regiment have also given to Nanshao." The village donated more than 70,000 yuan, and each household donated a cotton coat and a quilt, as well as 5,000 kilograms of white flour and 5 tons of diesel. We, the People's Liberation Army, and the people of Nanshao Village have a deep friendship and will always be connected. When the sky falls, we will carry it together, and we will fight the floods and rescue them together. Our chief will ask our superiors for approval, and once the floods recede, we will send a company to help Nanshao Village rebuild its homes and organize production for self-rescue."
There was another round of applause and cheers from below.
"Folks, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of the troops and for your care for the soldiers in our reconnaissance squad."
At this time, a fellow below suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "All the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad also donated money and clothes to us. Squad leader Wang Ke donated 1,000 yuan." This matter was still not hidden, and Staff Sun was dumbfounded when he heard it. This little soldier donated 1,000 yuan?
"Squad leader Wang Ke spent several days and nights without sleep or food while fighting the flood. He was so tired that he vomited blood for our village. If it hadn't been for him, how many people in our village would have died?"
what happened? Staff Officer Sun knew that Wang Ke took the risk and sent someone to the army to report the news immediately, but he did not know that he saved the entire village, including finding food, medicinal materials and organizing self-rescue. He looked to the village chief on one side, who nodded vigorously.
Uncle Dong Pianfang shouted from below: "I also recognized him as my godson, and he also recognized me as his godfather!"
The whole village laughed together, but the laughter was more of a kind of gratitude and a tragic feeling.
