A violent explosion resounded throughout the courtyard.
The earth shook!
"It's thundering, it's raining, it's time to put away your clothes!"
Zhang Gangzhu's daughter-in-law, Wang Gangzhu, pulled on her chemical sandals and ran out of the house in a panic.
Looking up at the blue sky, she looked confused and muttered to herself.
"It's not raining, what's going on?"
As soon as Li Aiguo handed the paper bag with the soybean mouth to Aunt Liu, he heard an explosion.
He had participated in anti-special training when he was in technical secondary school, and he immediately recognized that the sound was not firecrackers, but detonators.
His expression suddenly changed, and he rushed back into the house. When he came out again, he already had a pistol in his hand.
Xu Damao also came out of the next room with his arms half open. The sleepiness on his face was not gone, and he looked suspicious: "Patriot, what happened? An enemy agent wants to attack our courtyard?"
"It's hard to say. The sound seems to be coming from the middle courtyard. Let's go and have a look."
"Ah, you go first, I will be there soon to provide you with support."
Xu Damao shrank his neck, hid in the house, and closed the door tightly with a bang.
At this time, Zhang Gangzhu also rushed out.
Holding a butcher's knife in his hand, he pouted at Xu Damao's family: "What a coward, go patriotic, let's go meet those enemy agents."
Li Aiguo: "You are behind me."
Zhang Gangzhu: "I am a butcher."
Li Aiguo: "The butcher who washes my sister-in-law's feet."
Zhang Gangzhu: "."
Li Aiguo brought Zhang Gangzhu to the middle courtyard.
Seeing the scene in front of me, I was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
A big hole was blown out of the wall of Jia's side room, and half of the stainless steel pot flew into the flower pond outside, making the scene a mess.
The potholes were filled with thick gunpowder smoke, making people choke and breathless.
Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu collapsed on the ground.
Most of his hair was gone, his face was smoky, and his clothes were torn by flying bricks and rubble.
Qin Huairu stood in the room with a blank expression and empty eyes, holding half of a stainless steel pot in her hand.
"Come out, come out! If you dare to come to our courtyard to cause damage, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Zhang Gangzhu strode over, carrying a butcher's knife and looking around with vigilance, but found no suspicious person.
He first pushed Qin Huairu, but when he saw that Qin Huairu didn't respond, he squatted in front of Jia Zhang and asked loudly.
"Mother Jia, what's going on? Where are the enemy agents?"
Jia Zhang's ears were buzzing at this time. She stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Aiguo with difficulty. The corners of her dry mouth squirmed: "Enemy agent."
"Damn, you old woman, what are you talking about? How can patriotism be an enemy agent?"
Zhang Gangzhu was about to break up with Jia Zhang.
Jia Dongxu came to his senses at this time, touched his smoking hair, and cried heartbreakingly: "My mother, you scared me to death."
Most of the residents' workers in the courtyard houses have received militia training and responded quickly.
At this time, they all rushed over with various weapons.
Some were carrying shovels, some were holding kitchen knives, and some were waving rolling pins.
Hey, Yanbu Guihuai, what does it mean when you wave a pen?
Are you ready to stab your enemy with the tip of your pen?
When Yan Bugui saw everyone's surprised gazes on him, he realized something was wrong and put the pen into his jacket pocket.
He walked to the 'ruins', looked at the 'devastation', and realized that the problem was no longer something that the courtyard stewards could solve.
"Lao Yi, we'd better report it to the police station quickly."
Yi Zhonghai was so frightened that his face turned blue when he saw that Jia's house had almost collapsed.
He was just about to agree, when he thought of what Jia Zhang had just said, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes when he looked at Li Aiguo.
"Don't be busy, we have to investigate first."
"Check, how to check?"
"Jia Zhang just said that Li Aiguo is an enemy agent, so it would be right to arrest him first."
Even Yi Zhonghai himself didn't believe this.
In this era, train driver is a special position. To become a train driver, you have to go through layers of examinations.
Anyone in the compound could be an enemy agent, but Li Aiguo was the least likely.
But.
As long as this label is placed on Li Aiguo, even if the investigation is clear in the future and Li Aiguo is cleared, he will still have a bad reputation.
Reputation is something invisible and intangible. It can make or break a person.
Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai have been neighbors for seven or eight years, so they naturally know Yi Zhonghai's intentions.
In the past, he might have agreed.
only.
Now he still hopes to have a good relationship with Li Aiguo and asks Li Aiguo to help Yan Jiecheng find a job in the locomotive depot.
Yan Bugui waved his hand: "Lao Yi, stop joking. Li Aiguo is a train driver, how could he be an enemy agent?"
When Aunt Liu and He Yuyu heard this, they both glared at Yi Zhonghai.
"Lao Yi, you are a great man, so you can't blame him randomly."
"Master, Brother Patriot is a good person."
Zhang Gangzhu took out the butcher's knife from his waist and watched Yi Zhonghai gesture back and forth, as if he was trying to figure out where to start.
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he quickly changed his words: "I was just guessing, Lao Yan, we'd better report it to the police station."
Seeing that Li Aiguo didn't waste a word, Xu Jixiang made Yi Zhonghai feel embarrassed. A trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he turned to teach Xu Damao a lesson.
"Don't hang around with those old ladies in the factory all day long, learn from Li Aiguo."
"Without a word, Yi Zhonghai's offensive was defused. This is the benefit of having a mass base."
"Xie Cheng, Jia's house exploded, why don't you go to the police station and report the incident."
"What?! The Jia family exploded? How could it explode?"
Yan Jiecheng was drinking water. When he heard the news, he was shocked, choked, and sprayed water on Yan Bu's face.
Yan Bugui wiped his face.
Hey, this water can't be wasted. Let's wash your face by the way.
"Don't worry about it. It exploded after all. Go and report it."
"Cycling?"
"It's just two steps, you're riding a bicycle."
When Yan Bugui saw Yan Jiecheng was about to leave, he stretched out his hand to grab him: "Remember to come back with the police comrades later and let Li Aiguo see what you can do."
"Good!"
Yan Jiecheng couldn't understand what Yan Bugui meant.
However, Yan Bugui often schemes against people and always comes up with some inexplicable ideas, which is not surprising.
Middle Court.
If in later generations, people would have been so frightened that their legs were weak after seeing the scene after the explosion.
It is only seven or eight years since liberation, and most of the residents came from the war-torn era.
Even if you have never been bombed, you have seen others being bombed.
So I reacted quickly.
Two or three ladies threw Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu onto the edge of the flower pond.
Seeing that the injuries on the two of them were relatively serious, the first man even sent someone to the community hospital to ask for a doctor.
Because Qin Huairu was standing far away at the time and there was a stainless steel pot blocking her, she only suffered two scratches on her arm.
She also walked out and stood beside him, gasping for air, her face turning blue and white.
Jia Zhang took a breath and finally recovered. Looking at the black smoke inside the house, she seemed to remember something, and her expression suddenly became panicked.
"Lao Yi, hurry up. There is a wooden box under my bed. Take it out for me."
No need to ask, it must be private money inside.
Yi Zhonghai nodded and called several residents.
He was about to enter the house, but was stopped by Li Aiguo.
"Wait a minute, the cause of the explosion is not clear yet. You can't go in and destroy the scene."
"There are some open fires in the house now. I will lead people to put out the fire, and then we will wait for the comrades from the police station to come and investigate the scene."
Asking for all kinds of votes...
