Declined Chang Hai's invitation to lunch, Ning Junqi emphasized some things about disaster relief to Chang Hai and others. Then, together with Chu Tianqi and Yang Daqing, they waded out of the village again and arrived at the car. Of course, Chu Tianqi's rain boots were still requisitioned by Ning Junqi, and he could only continue to cross the river in wet sandals.

The second stop is Xiaoying Village, which is less affected than Gangou Village, because the terrain of Xiaoying Village is more open than that of Gangou Village, and the flood is naturally smaller. Ning Junqi and his entourage still looked at the scene, visited the affected people, and listened to the reports of Feng Qiang and others. By the time he was done, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Feng Qiang had already asked people to prepare lunch.

Everyone did not drink, and after eating as fast as possible, they rushed to the last stop of the day - Weizigou Village. The terrain of Weizigou and Gangou villages is similar, the road into the village has become muddy, and when the car enters the village, it is already four o'clock in the afternoon. The village cadres who received the letter in advance were already waiting at the edge of the village, and as soon as the township leaders arrived, they immediately went to see the scene. The flood in Weizigou is also very large, and the disaster situation is similar to that of Gangou Village. Watching the scene, condolences, listening to the report, I was busy in a circle, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone declined the invitation of the village leaders to dinner and embarked on the road back to the village.

Just three miles out of the village, the car won't leave, and Xiao Meng can't catch fire no matter how he gets it. In the end, Yang Daqing and Xiao Meng had to stay where they were and go to the village for help, and Chu Tianqi and Ning Junqi took the path back to the village.

I just received a call that the county leaders will go to the township tomorrow, so Ning Junqi has to rush back anyway. One is to wait for the leaders in the township tomorrow, and the other is to discuss the content of the report and reception with Secretary Huang this evening.

To walk from the path, you need to climb over a small hill, which used to be the boundary of Qingniuyu Village, which is estimated to be an hour's road. If you are walking from the flat road, you have to go to the main road first, and then take the bus back from the main road. It takes two hours to get to the main road alone, and you have to wait for the passing cars on the main road, but now the shuttle buses have all passed, and you don't know how long it will take to wait for other passing cars.

……

Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi walked towards Xiaoshanbao. The sun didn't come out all day, and there was still some wet and slippery feeling when I stepped on the grassy ground. After walking for about ten minutes, I began to go up the mountain.

The hill is not very high, and the hill is full of small trees and bushes. A path that has been stepped out by man, through the bushes, zigzags into the distance. Although the small trees on both sides of the road are not tall, they are always taller than people, and they are taller on the side of the mountain.

At this time of the day, the sun has not yet set, and there will be sunlight sprinkled in the gaps, which looks brighter. Today was a different story, with four or five hours of rain in the early hours of the morning, and no sun during the day. As a result, the humidity on the mountain is heavy, and even the smell of rotting leaves and dead insects comes out, making people sick. The sky was gloomy, and it was only about six o'clock in the afternoon, but it looked like it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the sky seemed to be slowly getting dark.

Smelling the unpleasant smell, looking at the dark sky, and the surrounding trees are also full of shadows, people can't help but feel fear in their hearts. At this time, Ning Junqi felt like this, she followed Chu Tianqi closely, not daring to look around, but she couldn't help but look behind her, because he always felt that someone was following behind him.

In fact, many people have had this experience, that is, when people are afraid, listening to their footsteps, they will always feel that there is someone behind them. So, I couldn't help but look, and when I saw that there was nothing behind me, my heart was still unsteady, so I quickened my pace. At this time, you will feel the pace behind you also speed up, and you can't help but look again, of course, there is still no one. The faster I walked, the faster I had to turn back, the more scared I became, and when I ran home or arrived in a crowded place, I was already sweating profusely, soaking wet, and even my hair was standing up.

"Are you cold?" Chu Tianqi felt her heavy breath and the trembling of her body. Although there was enough distance between the two bodies, he could still feel it.

"No, no, yes, sort of. Ning Junqi's words were a little incoherent.

"There's water on the road, hold on to my clothes so you don't slip. Chu Tianqi listened to her state and had already concluded that she was afraid. He thoughtfully did not say the word "afraid", but mentioned the matter of inspecting the disaster: "Township chief, how do you feel after seeing the three villages today?"

Ning Junqi obediently grabbed his clothes and said, "I, I feel a lot, but I can't say it clearly for a while. She was telling the truth, because of the fear, her mind was much duller, and she felt a little confused.

"Then I'll talk about it, please correct the shortcomings. Chu Tianqi opened the conversation, "The damage from this flood is very large, and the loss of houses, livestock, and property alone is not a small number. These numbers may not sound big at first glance if they are put in the newspapers or on television, but don't forget that this is just a small poor mountain village. For the farmer's family, these losses may mean that there is no place to live, or they may mean that life has been lost in recent months.

For our government departments, the ratio of achievement is generally measured by the quality of the work, or the severity of the matter. For example, in the case of a disaster, if only 1 percent of the population is homeless in an earthquake, then that is a very, very desirable number. Ninety-nine percent of families will be glad that life is going on, but for those 1 percent, it's not a simple number, which can mean catastrophe and life will be unsustainable. ”

Ning Junqi answered: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that our government cadres must rush to the disaster site as soon as possible to convey the party's voice and the warmth of the government to the masses. In times of crisis, this often brings infinite comfort to the masses and even hope for survival. ”

Chu Tianqi continued the train of thought just now and said, "Also, we have to deal with specific things specifically. For some places in the south, or areas with developed water systems, the floods we see today are simply not worth mentioning. Because, they are no longer surprised, they not only have skillful means to deal with it, but also have full mental preparation. But for Qingniuyu, which is dry and rainless, it is almost a once-in-a-century event, and people not only suffer huge losses for themselves, but also have a strong ideological shock. ”

"Yes, that's why our government has to step in and be their backbone. Even if we meet someone like the old lady today, we can't stand by and ignore it. Ning Junqi said with deep feelings.

"The government has to take care of it, that's right. But it can't be an unprincipled all-encompassing. Chu Tianqi said.

Ning Junqi pouted and said, "Of course." I know the proportions. ”

Chu Tianqi didn't care about the tone of Ning Junqi's speech, but talked about another topic: "Although the disaster situation is not optimistic, fortunately, there are no casualties. And whether it is a new school building, or a repair or reinforcement of the school building, the workmanship is very fine, the materials are also sufficient, and the quality is very good. ”

"Ouch", with this shout, Ning Junqi, who was walking beside him, suddenly became shorter.

Chu Tianqi hurriedly subconsciously reached out to grab it, but didn't catch it. He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that Ning Junqi was already squatting on the ground, covering his feet, and his mouth kept "ouch".

"What's wrong?" Chu Tianqi squatted down and asked with concern, "Is it a broken foot?"

"Hmm. Ning Junqi gritted his teeth and nodded.

"I'll see. Chu Tianqi said, and went to grab her feet.

"No, no, it's fine. Ning Junqi still gritted his teeth and insisted.

"When has it been? Chu Tianqi took down the schoolbag on his body, took out a small bag wrapped in a plastic bag from it, and held it in his hand. He took out a plastic bag, wrapped it around the bag, and then put the bag on the ground, and said, "Sit there." I'll show you. ”

Listening to his domineering tone, she wanted to cry, but she still sat down involuntarily and said softly, "Can you see it?"

"I'm equipped. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi took out a small flashlight from his small bag and lit it, this flashlight was about ten centimeters long.

Ning Junqi shouted loudly: "Why didn't you take out the flashlight earlier? You did it on purpose, right?"

Chu Tianqi had no good way to deal with the girl's unreasonable trouble, so he could only say patiently: "Oh, eldest sister, it's a little dark now, and it's not too bright to turn on the flashlight." What if I run out of electricity and can't see when it's dark for a while?"

"Isn't it just when it's dark? I think you did it on purpose. Ning Junqi still didn't give up.

"Do you hurt?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically, "You didn't mean to, did you?"

Ning Junqi suddenly felt pain in his feet, and said aggrievedly: "You, you, you are too cold-blooded, how can you say such a thing." ”

"Since it hurts, don't talk too much, let me show you. Chu Tianqi said softly.

Ning Junqi didn't speak again, but sat there obediently, motionless.

"You take it. Chu Tianqi handed the flashlight to Ning Junqi and said, "Which foot?"

"Right foot. Ning Junqi said obediently.

Chu Tianqi stretched out his hand to her right foot and said, "Follow it." ”

She subconsciously moved her right leg, trying to dodge, but the pain that followed made her can't help but scream: "Ah!"

"Don't move, be obedient. Chu Tianqi's words were very light, but they had a power that could not be questioned.

Chu Tianqi said, he put her right leg in his arms, took off her shoes, and went to take off the socks on her feet. Her legs were straight, and the tension in her heart could be seen, and she pinned her head to the side.

"Follow the point. Chu Tianqi said.

Ning Junqi turned his head and shone the flashlight on his right foot. Under the light of the flashlight, you can clearly see that the surface of the foot has become much red and swollen. She couldn't help but shout, "I, I'm okay, right?"

"It's fine. Chu Tianqi responded as he stroked his hand to her feet.
