Coming out of the small restaurant, Qi Tianxiang insisted on sending Yao Bingxin back to the room, but when he arrived at the elevator entrance, he was stopped by Yao Bingxin more resolutely, looking at Yao Bingxin's expression and resolute attitude, Qi Tianxiang no longer insisted, and instructed the house construction to do the work and arrange the needs of Minister Yao's party, and then shook hands with Yao Bingxin warmly and said goodbye, and watched him walk into the elevator and leave, before turning around and leaving.

Seeing off Yao Bingxin and the others, Qi Tianxiang did not mean to take the elevator back to the room, but slowly walked towards the corridor on the other side, and said slowly to Zhou Tong who was following him as he walked: "It's still early, just take a walk and take a look!" ”

"Don't discuss this with me!" Zhou Tong saw that Qi Tianxiang was very interested, so he responded humorously, and then looked back at Wang Tongjun who was following behind him and said with a smile: "You are the county lord of these, and the governor of Qi wants to make a private visit to observe the people's feelings, or do you need your approval!" ”

Zhou Tong's humorous and witty words triggered a slight laughter from the entourage, Wang Tongjun's face immediately turned red, he looked at Zhou Tong nervously, and then at Qi Tianxiang, and asked puzzledly: "I don't know what Governor Qi wants to see, I will arrange for someone to prepare." ”

"Since it's a private visit to Weifu, what else do you arrange? It's all arranged, is it still called a private visit? Zhou Tong said to Wang Tongjun dissatisfied, but his tone was not stern, and then glanced at Qi Tianxiang, and then said to Wang Tongjun as if he remembered something: "If you want to prepare, prepare a businessman's robe and coat for Governor Qi, get me one too, and prepare a melon skin hat for me." ”

Zhou Tong's words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help laughing, looking at Wang Tongjun's embarrassed look, he couldn't hold back a smile and said to Zhou Tong: "Okay, okay, don't tease him, isn't it just a casual turn, it's so complicated." ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, and said to Wang Ping, Liao Yong and the others who accompanied him: "All of you are also busy with your own affairs!" I casually took a spin to breathe and went back to my room to rest. ”

Qi Tianxiang didn't let everyone accompany him, and everyone didn't want to ask too much, let alone insist, so they left one after another. Qi Tianxiang was instantly left by Zhou Tong and Xiao Zhang, as well as Wang Tongjun, who was anxiously waiting for Qi Tianxiang's orders.

Qi Tianxiang didn't give any more explanation, he slowly walked to the stairwell, walked down the stairs to the bottom floor, and entered the backyard, immediately feeling much more empty and happy.

Turning the corner of the building, you entered the front yard, although there are a lot of vehicles parked in the parking lot, but there is no noise during the day, it seems much quieter, and there is no scene of people in front of the steps of the front hall. At this time in large and medium-sized cities, the front of the hotel should be the moment of traffic, but here is another quiet scene, in addition to the parking lot is crowded, the guest rooms or other entertainment are very deserted, and this is also with this accident, so many people poured in at once, it is estimated that even these cars and people will not have on weekdays.

It has entered autumn, but in this small mountainous county, there is no trace of autumn dryness, perhaps because of the heavy rainfall and precipitation a few days ago, Qi Tianxiang's body actually has a cool feeling, as if the jacket on his body has no effect, this is in Hezhou City, this will still be a short-sleeved shirt scene, but here it seems to be late autumn.

Qi Tianxiang didn't mean to stop, and Zhou Tong and Wang Tongjun didn't want to ask too much, so they had to follow Qi Tianxiang closely, follow him from the backyard to the front yard, walk through the parking lot, and walk out of the hotel compound.

The hotel is built on the land of the original county party committee and the county government, and the government agencies in the traditional sense are the central area of a county, and many government agencies and commercial service outlets are also built on both sides of the government compound, or near the street, forming a natural prosperity.

But Qi Tianxiang didn't see the prosperity it should have, not even the basic liveliness, it was only less than nine o'clock in the evening, there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the street, except for the road illuminated by the street lights, the shops or government agencies along the street had also closed their gates, and it looked like they couldn't find a little urban feeling at all, but like a township.

The most prosperous county government is so deserted in front of it, and the situation on other streets doesn't need to be seen to know a little bit, Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but stop, although he also knew that there would be no excitement at night in the small county town. The county town is not dark, people have already returned home, there is nothing after dinner, and Qi Tianxiang is also fully prepared, but there are no pedestrians and vehicles so early, which still makes Qi Tianxiang feel disappointed, and he doesn't know where to go down to take a look.

Wang Tongjun seemed to feel Qi Tianxiang's disappointment, so he leaned over and whispered: "We don't have any outsiders in Guishui County, and there are only more than 50,000 permanent residents in the entire county. ”

Qi Tianxiang heard the uneasiness from Wang Tongjun's explanation, and was a little apologetic, so he took advantage of the night to look at him, smiled slightly and said generously: "Quiet and peaceful, this itself should be the rhythm of the city, whether it is busy or rubbing shoulders, it is a helpless existence, if there is such a quiet street in the provincial capital, there is such a safe existence, it is a rare scene." ”

Qi Tianxiang was talking, but he was entangled in his heart, and he proposed to come out and go around, but in the face of the lonely streets, there was nowhere to go, and he couldn't save face when he returned. Wang Tongjun obviously didn't want him to walk around aimlessly like this, such a big governor appeared on the streets of the county, security is a thorny problem, once there is any accident, it will be a big deal.

"The air is so good, and the night is rarely so peaceful, if you don't enjoy it, you really live up to An Lan under the street lights in the silent night sky." Zhou Tong seemed to know Qi Tianxiang's dilemma, so he started poetry quietly, but he still didn't dare to be too presumptuous, that is, after teasing slightly, he seemed to be touching the scene and sighed with emotion: "At this time, if you take a car to take a walk around the county, you must see a different scenery in the car." ”

Qi Tianxiang turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tong deeply, especially when he inadvertently mentioned an article he wrote in his early years, "Riding in a Car, Looking at the Scenery", he sincerely admired his empathy, but before he could think about it, he looked at Wang Tongjun and seemed to say casually: "Arrange the car, let's go and see your new immigrant village." ”

When Wang Tongjun heard Qi Tianxiang's order, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly turned around and waved not far away, and soon two cars came one after the other, slowly stopping next to them.

Don't look at Wang Tongjun's insignificance in front of the high-ranking and powerful Qi Tianxiang and Yao Bingxin, but on the ground of Guishui County, there is still a certain amount of power in his gestures, especially now that Han Zizai has been removed from office and is facing annihilation, Wang Tongjun's status and influence are even more different from the past.

For this scene, Qi Tianxiang seemed to be accustomed to it, did not make any indication, after the driver opened the door of the back seat, he sat straight in, and then quietly waited for others to get into the car, Zhou Tong quickly got into the car from the other side, and Wang Tongjun also quickly sat in the co-pilot's position. The other car, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, became the main occupants, accompanied by the director of the Public Security Bureau, and took on the role of escort car.

The two cars left the compound one after the other, driving slowly along the silent street, Qi Tianxiang's eyes always looked out the window, as if he could see something in the street scene along the way. As the street lights gradually thinned and dimmed, and finally there were no street lights at all, Qi Tianxiang's mood also dimmed and dimmed.

What is the new village of immigrants like, from Liu Nengfu's slightly angry words in the morning, he can already know some clues, and Qi Tianxiang already has a premonition in his heart, but he doesn't want to believe it, he has to take a look at it himself to be able to rest assured.

Without street lights, it is equivalent to leaving the county, the wide and flat road has become a narrow country road, the car has begun to bump slightly, the window is already dark, only the front illuminated by the car lights can still see some light.

The car didn't seem to stop after walking for a long time, and kept driving towards the mountain in the distance, only to slow down slowly in front of the mountain, and a large piece of bungalow appeared in front of Qi Tianxiang under the reflection of the headlights.

Accustomed to seeing high-rise buildings, Qi Tianxiang was really unaccustomed to seeing this piece of bungalow, and against the backdrop of the mountains, the bungalow seemed low and inconspicuous, and it seemed crowded and simple.

In the dark bungalow area, you can see the sparse and dim lights, but in front of the dark mountain, it seems insignificant, and it is difficult to distinguish it without looking carefully, and the whole large bungalow area seems deserted and lonely, lacking life.

The car slowly stopped in the small house spacing in the bungalow area, Qi Tianxiang did not move, let alone get out of the car, but his eyes did not leave the window, and watched quietly according to the light of the headlights.

As if knowing Qi Tianxiang's mood at the moment, Wang Tongjun turned his face and said cautiously: "The new village has been built for several years, and it has just been completed, and nearly one hundred and twenty families have been resettled. However, due to the distance from the county seat, it is not convenient to travel to and fro, and many immigrants who have moved here do not live here. Some of the older ones have returned to the mountains with relatives and friends, and some have gone out to work, which makes it so that there are very few people living here. ”

Wang Tongjun looked at Qi Tianxiang and was silent, and then added: "Due to the haste in the original site selection, especially the operation method of immigrating first and then building a new village, many mountain people who moved out of the mountains were divided, and the immigrants did not arrange the nearest ration fields at the same time, which also made the livelihood of the people who moved out of the mountains a problem, resulting in the current situation that the new village was not attractive and could not retain people. ”

Listening to Wang Tongjun's explanation, especially seeing the black and lifeless new immigrant village in front of him, Qi Tianxiang felt a sense of sadness and pain in his heart, but looking at Wang Tongjun's nervous expression looking at him, Qi Tianxiang forcibly suppressed the feeling in his heart, sighed deeply, and said slowly: "After the aftermath, you still have a lot to do!" ”

As Qi Tianxiang spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and said in a low voice, "Go back!" Don't look at it! ”

Listening to Qi Tianxiang's instructions, the people in the car didn't say anything anymore, only the driver slowly manipulated the vehicle, reversed, turned around, and slowly drove towards the county seat.
