Chapter 498 Sen Tie’s U-turn method, the little tip of [grinding bones], the clues provided by Zhao Xiaoshao
The investigation team is of a very high level, and the capital has already instructed the local authorities to fully cooperate.
Learning that the accident investigation team would conduct an in-depth investigation, Director Wang of the Ilshi Lumberyard specially sent a Gas Jeep and a clerk named Zhang Xinming to accompany him.
Zhang Xinming is a local. His ancestors were mountaineers in the mountains, and his father was a well-known activist in the neighborhood.
Zhang Xinming had already taken on some of the work before liberation and worked in Harbin after liberation.
At the beginning of the establishment of Ilshi Lumberyard, the organization considered that he was very familiar with the nearby situation and specially transferred him to take charge of local work.
To investigate what happened after Hu Guangzhi came to Sentie, we need to find his colleagues and direct leaders.
The accident investigation team, led by Zhang Xinming, came to the Forest Railway Office (later upgraded to the Forest Railway Office) located in the northeast corner of the Ilshi Lumberyard.
The Forest Railway Office is under the joint management of the Forestry Industry Bureau and the Ministry of Railways (later placed under the local Forestry Bureau). It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ilshi Timber Storage Yard and is specifically responsible for forest railway work.
All the way.
Through the car window, Li Aiguo saw stacks of lumber stacked in the square of the lumberyard, and many production workers were busy working on the stacks of lumber.
Zhang Xinming explained that the biggest task of the lumber yard is to temporarily store the wood on the mountain, and then transport it away and distribute it to all parts of the country.
Although the Forest Railway Office sounds like an administrative unit, all the work these days is centered around production.
This is actually a train yard, with seven or eight special narrow-gauge locomotives parked on it.
Although it was evening at this time, the comrades from the Forest Railway Office and the train drivers were busy turning the train around at the station.
Seeing the Gas Jeep stop, everyone put down what they were doing and looked at it.
There are only five jeeps in the Irsch lumber yard, and ordinary people cannot use them easily.
After hearing the news, Director Hu from the Forest Railway Office came forward with two officers.
The accident investigation team got out of the car and Zhang Xinmin introduced both parties.
"Comrades from the capital, welcome, welcome." Director Hu said warmly.
At this time, Sentie was not yet completely independent, and the General Administration of Railways was equivalent to Sentie's natal family.
Yu Dafei pulled Director Hu aside and asked Hu Guangzhi about the details of the three people, but Li Aiguo became curious about Sentie's dispatching method.
As we all know, turning around a train is a troublesome thing.
Special tracks for U-turns have been built in the railway station and locomotive depot.
The Forest Railway Office does not have a special track, so it can only use wild roads.
"One, two, one, one, two, one"
More than thirty workers in shabby clothes were seen shouting slogans, and under the command of the staff, they knocked the locomotive with a horizontal bar. , place the two ends of the locomotive on the horse.
轱轳马子 is a simple railway tool.
This thing has four iron pulleys. Two iron axles string the two pulleys together. There are also heavy iron frames on the two axles, which are supported on the two axles and paved on them. Thick wooden boards turned into a four-wheel flat cart.
To put it simply, the horse is an unpowered mini train that can be transported on rails. It is said that it was made by a kid.
The Qianmen Locomotive Depot also has this thing, which is mainly used as a transportation tool in the maintenance workshop. It is generally used to transport wood in forest areas.
This is the first time Li Aiguo has seen the horse racing horse used to transport locomotives.
The turning radius of the horse is much smaller than that of the locomotive.
After the locomotive was installed, a group of people pushed the locomotive and easily went around the crosswalk in front. After a circle, one locomotive easily completed the U-turn.
It is true that the working people are very intelligent.
What really surprised Li Aiguo were the dozens of production workers. They were obviously different from the workers in the production section.
The serious production workers in the production section are all wearing gray overalls and water socks (similar to today's farm shoes). Most of them are young men.
These production workers wear a variety of clothes, including short-sleeved coats and black cloth-covered tattered sheepskin jackets. On their feet are worn-out straw sandals and wooden shoes. They are all relatively old.
They are not burly in stature, but they are quite strong, and their coordination is very skillful.
As a train driver, Li Aiguo knew that even this small locomotive weighs dozens of tons.
These people were able to pry up the locomotive and place it accurately on the horse, both in terms of strength and skill.
After a lot of hard work, the front part of the specially-made Jiefang locomotive has been "hanged" on the horizontal bar of the horse.
Just when the production workers wanted to take a rest, the little boss shouted at the top of his lungs in a local dialect that Li Aiguo could not understand.
The production workers had not yet touched their buttocks to the ground, so they had to drag them. With my sore legs, I picked up a stick and started to pry the rear part of the locomotive.
This leader was dressed very strangely, with a strip of cloth wrapped around his forehead, black leggings, and a cigarette pouch and pot in his hand.
His attitude towards production workers is similar to the attitude of landlords towards tenant farmers before liberation.
When Li Aiguo saw him, he remembered the brutal factory protection teams in the factory before liberation. I became curious for a moment, so I went over to chat with him.
“Comrade, one cigarette.”
He enthusiastically held out a cigarette.
“I’m not used to this stuff.”
The little leader seemed to know their identity and showed great vigilance towards him. He waved his hand and pointed at his pipe pot.
"Mr. Leader, you are busy, I have to work."
The little boss regarded Li Aiguo as air and continued to direct the production workers to lift the front of the car.
After more than ten minutes of hard work, the front of the car is about to rest on the horse. With just a little more force, the horse can fully support the front of the car.
A thin man with gray hair stepped forward carrying a crowbar, but his feet were caught by a stone. He staggered, and the crowbar fell to the ground grazing his forehead, bringing down a few white hairs.
The front side of the car lacked support and suddenly tilted this way.
Things happened very quickly, and the boys felt the pressure on their shoulders increase. Their shoulders creaked under the pressure, and it was almost difficult to support them.
The production workers in the distance did not notice this, and it was too late to help.
Li Aiguo had been standing nearby. Seeing this, he quickly picked up the crowbar, inserted one end into the bottom of the locomotive, and carried the other end on his shoulder.
The front of the car, which was tilting, stabilized instantly, and the front of the car was righted bit by bit.
Finally, accompanied by a burst of slogans, the locomotive landed safely on the horse.
Li Aiguo's neat movements attracted the attention of many production workers, but they looked at the little boss and did not dare to approach Li Aiguo.
The old production worker was still lying on the ground at this time. Li Aiguo stretched out his hand to pull him up and asked a few questions with concern.
"Mr. Leader, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have been smashed to death."
Li Aiguo also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so scary. If the front of the car fell off just now, I have to knock down a bunch of people.”
The little guy was obviously very angry: “It’s a small thing to hit people. This locomotive is so expensive, even a hundred people can’t afford it.”
He left! He went over and grabbed the old production worker by the collar and said viciously: "Zhao Laoshuan, wait until you get back to the work shop and see if the captain doesn't deal with you!"
Zhao Laoshuan was grabbed by a young man when he was old. Zumi Collar's face turned red, and he wanted to explain. His chapped lips moved, but no sound came out.
The fear flashing in his eyes reminded Li Aiguo of the time when Zhang Gangzhu's father was injured before liberation, lying on the bed and facing the looks of the gangsters from the steel rolling mill guard team.
Yes, it is a fear engraved in the bones.
When the production workers nearby saw Zhao Laoshuan being scolded, they all stared at the boss with angry eyes.
It’s just that they seemed to be afraid of something. They gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, but did not dare to move.
Zhao Xinming looked a little embarrassed when he saw this scene, but he did not stop him.
This made Li Aiguo very curious.
Before liberation, workers were bullied. Now after liberation, some people still dare to bully workers like this. Wasn’t the blood of our ancestors shed in vain? !
"What are you doing!"
Li Aiguo couldn't bear to see it anymore, threw away the cigarette butt, walked up and pushed the head a little, "You are the on-site commander, there are stones on the ground, it's obvious It’s a safety hazard, why not clean it up in advance?”
Xiaobaotou seemed to be aggressive, but he was actually a strong-willed guy who almost fell to the ground after being pushed.
With wide eyes, he picked up the pipe and pot and was about to smash it towards Li Aiguo.
Zhao Laoshuan hurriedly stopped in front of Li Aiguo: "Boss, this is my fault. I almost missed something big. Don't misunderstand this gentleman."
At this time, Zhao Xinming could no longer pretend that he couldn't see it. He walked over quickly and said in a low voice to the little boss with a straight face: "This is a leader from the capital. If you dare to act nonsense, our forestry department will notify the work shop." Captain."
The little head looked at the director of the accident team who was warmly receiving the incident in the distance, and then looked at Zhao Xinming who had been staring closely here, with a trace of fear on his face.
"This guy is an old mountain frog. If we didn't have to rely on the forestry service, we would have to give you a blow."
He was not willing to confront Li Aiguo. After a conflict, he muttered a mountain dialect and left angrily, continuing to direct the production workers to move the next locomotive.
Li Aiguo took Zhao Laoshuan's arm and helped him sit down on the big rock next to him.
"Old man, are you okay?"
"It's just a fall. I'm a cheap person, it's nothing serious. Mr. Leader, thank you very much.< br>
But I’m still very young, only fifty years old, so I can’t be called an old man. My surname is Zhao, so you can call me Lao Zhao.”
I fell on my calf just now, Mr. Zhao. Shuan rubbed his legs, raised his head and said gratefully.
Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
When Zhao Laoshuan saw the cigarette, he was flattered, his face turned red and he was determined to refuse.
Finally Zhang Xinming spoke, and he took it and stretched out his scarred palm, rubbed the filter, and carefully pinned it to his ear.
“It also has a filter. Only the captain of the caravan can afford to smoke this kind of cigarette in the work shed.” Li Aiguo took out a lighter, helped him light the cigarette, and asked with a smile: “Comrade Zhao, what happened just now? Who is that person? He looks quite fierce."
"No, he is the leader of the work shed, Ma Xiaolu, and the nephew of the captain, Ma Bangshan, who is in the work shed. Except for Mr. Accountant, he is the most powerful."
Zhao Laoshuan seemed to be afraid of Ma Xiaolu. While talking, he looked at Ma Xiaolu cautiously.
Li Aiguo patted his chest and said: "Comrade Zhao, don't worry, as long as I stand here, that Ma Xiaolu will not dare to trouble you."
"I know, I I know that you are gentlemen from big cities and are decent people. The captain is most afraid of decent people like you."
Zhao Laoshuan wanted to continue, but Ma Xiaolu seemed to be aware of something going on here. He yelled at the top of his voice, "Zhao Laoshuan, you're a liar, you're a liar. Do you want to be driven down the mountain?! Ma liu is here to work."
"Mr. Leader, I have to I’m off to work, thank you very much this time.”
Zhao Laoshuan stood up limpingly, ran over and put the crowbar on his shoulders, and at the top of his lungs, he used all his strength to pry up the locomotive.
Sweat dripped down his gray hair, slid over his old face full of vicissitudes of time, flowed onto his dark neck, and finally soaked through his tattered gown.
Looking at the production workers shouting neat slogans and busy at the station under the command of Ma Xiaolu, Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Since taking a jeep to this deep mountain, Li Aiguo felt as if he had returned to before liberation.
Fortunately, in Aershan City, you can often see people shouting slogans, and you can also see the slogans of primary communes and members doing farm work.
However, once entering this remote place, there are almost no slogans and flags on both sides of the road.
The locals particularly like to address themselves as Mr., and the word "comrade" is almost never heard.
Li Aiguo was a little doubtful whether there was no new wind blowing in because of the mountains.
Zhang Xinming is a qualified guide. He noticed that Li Aiguo was in a bad mood and explained with a smile: "Driver Li, our forest railway conditions are simple and we have to use this irregular method to turn the train around.
Next year The Forestry Railway Office is planning to build a triangular line between the lumberyard and the Forestry Railway station, specifically for the purpose of adjusting the direction of the locomotive, so that no manpower is needed in the future.”
Li Aiguo was not concerned about this. He handed him a cigarette and pointed at the production workers.
“These are the people from your lumber yard?”
Zhang Xinming took the cigarette with both hands and said with a smile: “That’s right.”
“That’s right? Then , not anymore?"
Zhang Xinming smiled quickly when he saw Li Aiguo's serious face: "
We are located in a remote area, and the forestry department has just been established, so the staff is relatively complex.
>
There are production workers directly under the Forestry Work Area and Bakou Work Area. The production workers are state-owned and are regular personnel. They are managed and paid by the Forestry Service.
These people who carry the locomotive are treated by us. The locals call them "bone grinders" and they belong to the work shop on the mountain.
Although they work in our lumberyard, they have little to do with us. "
Li Aiguo is interrogating the driver. When I was in the group, I heard Zhang Ershan talk about lifting [grinding bones]. What is this thing?
"Driver Li, one of the most important tasks in the lumberyard is to stack the lumber pulled back from the mountain together. This is called quarrying.
The other is to pack the lumber. The train.
One of these logs weighs hundreds of kilograms, and thousands of logs need to be stacked neatly together.
It is not easy to load the logs tightly onto the train. The work requires rich experience.
The person who undertakes this job is called a "bone grinder."
Zhang Xinming explained slowly: "General logging workers can be used. They are recruited from rural areas, but they are not good at "grinding bones".
They are a very professional team and do not have many years of experience, so they are not competent.
So we started from the lumber yard. The Shanshan Gongpu hired these people."
Li Aiguo then asked: "What is the Gongpu?"
When this issue was mentioned, Zhang Xinming looked a little embarrassed.
Just like a little daughter-in-law who has a family scandal, she is unwilling to tell the scandal.
It wasn't until Li Aiguo said that the incident was related to the accident that he had to tell the story in detail.
“The story of Gongpu must start before liberation.
At that time, in order to plunder our forest resources, the Japanese conducted a so-called forest survey and surveyed all our mountains and forests.
On this basis, the colonial reactionary law-"Mountain Forest Order" was formulated.
If the Japanese want to plunder forest resources, they must not do it themselves, so as to protect state-owned forests. In the name of protecting the forest, the forest area was transferred to the chaebols, clubs, and traitors.
Those people could not go up the mountain to cut down the trees.
So some people saw an opportunity and took advantage of it. Work shops were built one after another on the mountain, and strong labor forces were recruited to start preparations.
The names of the work shops were all named after the captains.
There are only two people in the work shop: the captain and the accountant. The captain, in addition to taking overall responsibility, is mainly in charge of production and technology. The husband is in charge of the logistics life of the work shop.
The work shop is not under our forestry management. We only send surveyors to inspect and accept the wood. ”
Li Aiguo understood it completely this time.
The work shop here is similar to the large cabinets in the coal mine, or even worse.
Carrying the "grinding bones" They are of the same nature as the mountaineers. They both belong to the work shop and are poor people.
Now that we have been liberated, the big cabinets in the coal mines have long disappeared, but there are still work shops for the production workers in the forest area?
Li Aiguo wanted to continue asking. Yu Dafei had already finished talking with the director of the Forest Railway Office, and the result was not very good.
The train drivers from the Forest Railway Office came from all over the country, and they were very diverse. Some of them are support personnel, and the restrictions imposed by the Forest Railway Office are very limited, as long as they can drive on time.
The director of the Forest Railway Office does not know much about the situation of Hu Guangzhi and the others.
< br>Subsequently, Li Aiguo chatted with several train drivers.
Depending on where they come from, train drivers all like to stick together and spend most of their time hanging out with their fellow villagers.
Those train drivers said that Hu Guangzhi and the other two people did not have much contact with them on weekdays and did not understand the situation.
However, Zhao Xiaoshao from the Harbin Locomotive Depot provided a useful clue.
Once while driving in the mountains, he accidentally saw Hu Guangzhi and a girl picking mushrooms in the mountains.
"Mushroom picking? Are they real mushrooms?" Li Aiguo interrupted him.
"Ah, are the mushrooms real or fake?" Zhao Xiaoshao said in surprise: "They are indeed picking mushrooms, not stealing."
This child is really a young child. , Li Aiguo was not willing to bring up other people’s children, and continued to ask: “It’s normal to pick mushrooms, why do you have an impression?”
“I didn’t care at first, but later during the meeting, I mentioned this to Hu Guangzhi, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat me up. Fortunately, Master Bai stopped him," Xiaoshao said.
Driver Bai, the main driver from Harbin, smoked a cigarette and slapped his thigh suddenly and said: "I was a little impressed when you mentioned this matter. At that time, I was still surprised. Hu Guangzhi is a very smart person and never How could he be so angry when he was blushing?"
Li Aiguo wrote down this clue in his notebook, looked at Zhao Xiaoshao and asked, "Do you know the name of that girl?"
< br>
"I don't know."
Zhao Xiaoshao shook his head: "But I see that she is wearing a floral coat. She should come from a shop in the mountains. Women in nearby villages cannot afford such clothes.
Only those mountaineers who can make money will buy good clothes for their little wives. "
"How do you know they are little wives?" Li Aiguo asked.
"In addition to the old ladies who do laundry and cooking, the women on the mountain are also the young wives who sleep with the men. Of course, some of them are not their own wives. What's so strange."
Zhao Xiao Shao's matter-of-fact look was in stark contrast to his childishness just now.
Li Aiguo also couldn’t figure out whether this guy was a newbie or an old driver.
Zhao Xiaoshao seemed to sense the change in Li Aiguo's attitude, blinked and said: "The woman at the work shop only costs 5 cents, and she can have a good night's sleep with you.
Hey, as long as those pink little hands brush over your body, all the fatigue in your body will disappear without a trace.
Some women look seventeen or eighteen years old, but in fact they already have three children. It’s my mother’s death. I’m an old woman.
If you want, I can.”
Good guy, the pimp is on the Imperial Envoy.
Yu Dafei and Sun Jiayue are fine, but Wang Guozhen, the old researcher, blushes. I can’t even bring it up.
“Ahem! "The guide Zhang Xinming quickly interrupted Zhao Xiaoshao.
Zhao Xiaoshao felt a little aggrieved: "Director Liu, these comrades came down from above. If they were deceived in the mountains, it is also our responsibility. "
"We paid for it, and the women in the shop provided labor. It's reasonable. "
"Those women have a hard life, and we are helping them. "
Li Aiguo stared at Zhao Xiaoshao's eyes, his dark eyes glowed with innocence, and he didn't even see a trace of guilt.
"Comrade Xiaoshao, thank you for your offer. Forget about the clues about women, our mission this time is very heavy and we probably don’t have time. "
"Really? That's a pity. ”
Xiaoshao thinks Li Aiguo is a very good person. He is also a big train driver and a senior.
I originally wanted to do my best to be a landlord, but now that I have no chance, I feel a little lost.
