"Have you ever eaten such a coarse meal?" Ling Han sat cross-legged on the kang of Chu Jianxiong's house, Xiang Xuemei also sat inside, Tie Bing and Rong Jie sat on the end of the kang, and the other sat on the bench on the ground.

How did Ling Han worry that he had no place to eat, so he led the 'suspended' Secretary Xiang into the farmhouse to mix rice, and Xiang Xuemei did not object.

On the surface, she was cold to Ling, but in fact, she no longer blamed him in her heart, and when she chose to 'advance and retreat' with him, she had already guessed that this was the result, although her heart was filled with a faint pain, but there was a mysterious and indescribable thing that made her feel very comfortable!

I don't know why I want to accompany him to mess around, but I have to admit that Ma Wangzhuang's 'figure' has carved a lot of traces in my heart, and it is understandable to say that I was affected by it, in fact, when I saw the four big words of "Reservoir Crisis" in the newspaper the next day, I also had an inexplicable feeling of relief in my heart, and it seemed that the invisible boulder that had been pressing on my heart disappeared with the appearance of these four words.

Indeed, it has indeed disappeared without a trace, and the article about the Qinghepu Reservoir always has to be explained politically, and the reservoir crisis is actually the 'full stop' of this incident, and the two 'guys' who created the incident have already been duly punished and paid the price.

"It's good to eat some whole grains once in a while, although it's hard for people who aren't used to eating them." Xiang Xuemei's evaluation is like this.

The middle-aged woman half-lying on the kang was about fifty years old, with fluffy hair, a pale face showing tired colors, dull eyes, and sideburns showing Huasi, in fact, she was only 45 years old, far from the age of looking old, but the disease tortured her enough.

Chu Jianxiong, who was busy working on the ground, looked very excited, there would not be a single guest at home all year round, but there were many people who came to ask for debts, don't look at Chu Jianxiong's age, he was also quick to cook, and he deliberately scrambled an egg, the staple food was cornmeal yellow cake, rough swallowing, Xiang Xuemei barely ate a few bites and couldn't swallow it, but the rest of the words would also make people laugh, it's not that she looks down on such a meal, she really can't swallow it, the more she chews it, the more she can't swallow it, and she can't send it down if she wants a glass of water, and most of the cake, I'm worried about her.

However, Ling Han is quite experienced in eating, dipping the vegetable soup with a mouthful of left and right mouthfuls and swallowing it in, it seems to be extremely sweet.

The situation of Tie Bing and Rong Jie is similar to Xiang Xuemei, but they gritted their teeth and still eliminated them, men, it's okay to suffer a little 'hardship'.

"Well, incense...... Sister Mei, are you full? I'm cheaper in the bowl, isn't it? "Ling Han had already seen that Xiang Xuemei was about to 'cry', and said, 'It's not bad to eat some coarse grains occasionally', he is worthy of being the secretary of the county party committee, he can speak, he stretched out his chopsticks and took the remaining half of the yellow cake from Xiang Xuemei's bowl into his own bowl, and ate it all in less than five bites, Xiang Xuemei's face was a little red, what is this? There's still his own saliva sticking to it, isn't he taking the opportunity to take advantage of it? But occupy the point and accept your fate, who can't let yourself swallow it?

But she was still very satisfied with Ling Han's 'subtle observation' and 'empathy', but she didn't expect that she would follow a little man to 'mess around' so far, accompanied by 'hard-won' political capital, Xiu Dai's eyebrows still have a trace of resentment, it's no wonder.

Chu Jianxiong's mother is an authentic rural person, simple and honest, the beautiful outline of her youth can be vaguely seen on her sickly face, she should also be a beauty at the level of 'village flower' back then, the years of Cangsang have carved ruthless traces on her face, and she is older than urban women of the same age.

"The food of the Zhuang family is not very particular, the big brothers and sisters, you take care of it more, our family is poor, I have been sick for many years, and this family has been dragged down, the child and his father left early, so that the children suffer with the incapable mother, if I die a day earlier, the burden of this family may be lighter, now ...... Now the children are being dragged down, and there is no comparison with the people in the city, so don't be too coarse. ”

Xiang Xuemei pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak, she couldn't see this, she was afraid that she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth, there were still bitter people in the village, Ling Han hurriedly said: "Auntie, you have to believe in our political axe, believe in our parents and officials, one day they will lead the people to live a good life, this society still has love, don't be discouraged, you gave birth to a good son, he will be diluted in the future, and there will always be a day when the bitterness comes." ”

Ling Han's words made Xiang Xuemei, Tie Bing, and Rong Jie all have a feeling, in fact, those who are officials can save the people in fire and water are good officials!

Coming out of Chu's house, the Mercedes-Benz swayed onto the road, and not too many people on the village street stared at the car with surprised eyes.

"Director Ling, where are we going?" Tie Bing's voice was very respectful, although he had only followed Ling Han for two days, he was touched by him.

Ling Han looked down at the road ahead, "Go to an open place outside the village entrance and stop, the feeling in my heart is very strong, as if something is going to happen, very depressed, very uneasy, I want to take another look, and then walk...... Maybe you'll be able to realize something! ”

After getting out of the car, Xiang Xuemei also followed, she was a little surprised by Ling Han's uneasiness, what kind of nerves did this guy have?

The two of them walked around the edge of the village one after the other, and Ling Han was thinking in his heart, how to deal with the disaster when it came tomorrow? It seems that there is not much time left for themselves, Qinghepu Brigade is a small village in the township, there are sixty or seventy families in the whole village, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, here is much worse than the foundation of Longtian Township, farmers in addition to farming, engage in some breeding, there is almost no additional income, most of the young people are working in the county or city, if this generation is gone, the next generation will not have farming, agricultural productivity is an important part of the country's productive forces, scientific planting and scientific management have further penetrated into the countryside, If agriculture is done well, it will produce rich people!

Suddenly, Xiang Xuemei screamed, ran up two steps and hugged Ling Han's arm, "Ah...... Mouse, what a mouse! ”

"Oh...... Sister Mei, do you want to scare me to death? What is so scary about rats," Ling Han patted his chest, really shocking Sister Xiang.

Xiang Xuemei shrank beside him, and stretched out a hand to point to the dirt ditch on the side of the road, "Look, such a big mouse, it's scary." ”

Looking at Xiang Xuemei's fingers, a big mouse just slipped into the dirt ditch, the head was really quite big, the tracking eyes followed the mouse, but saw a smaller mouse, Xiang Xuemei's hand holding Ling Han's arm tightened, "Another one!" ”

The rats have a meeting today, huh? When this thought flashed, Ling Han suddenly understood what was going on, animals are extremely sensitive, and all kinds of abnormalities would be found in advance before the earthquake, when chatting after lunch and dinner, Chu Jianxiong seemed to say that he had seen the snake twice when he was collecting firewood in the morning, and he was scared to run around, this is the abnormal performance of the winter snake out of the hole, and when he entered their house, he also heard the man in the courtyard of the condominium say, 'This dead chicken made a fuss last night and didn't go to the shelf, what are you doing', it seems that the earthquake on January 22 is coming as scheduled, at this moment Ling Han can't tell whether he is sad or excited.

Excited that everything recorded in 'history' has not changed much because of his own 'arrival', sad that he is powerless in the face of natural disasters in nature, he reached out and patted Xiang Xuemei's little hand, which was very warm and slippery, and it was the first time he had touched her hand like this.

There was also an abnormal smell in the air, the weather was obviously not as cold as those two days, but it showed a bit of a stuffy feeling, and when he looked around, he found that the void in the Nanshan area was filled with a pale yellow mist, and he even felt that his emotions were a little irritated.

Two people from the village walked by, and one of them said: "It's really strange, the well in our village that has been dry for many years actually has water again, and the water is still bubbling, fuck, it didn't have water when he had it, and now it doesn't use it, it comes out again......"

"Strange things happen every year, what are you doing with all those idleness? It's not unusual to talk about this, but the light in my house was on in the middle of the night last night, and my wife said it was haunted, damn, the scared old man squatted on the kang head and didn't dare to move, and the rotten lamp went out several times in the dark......"

"In the past two days, the dogs in the whole village have taken the wrong medicine, barking all night, and I thought that my donkey would not enter the circle, and their cattle who came to Lao Zhang would not enter the circle, ha...... It's a fucking 'crippled b-evil door,'" the two of them drifted away.

The last sentence flew into Xiang Xuemei's ears and made her take a sip, and a touch of crimson tide clouds flew on her pretty face.

Ling Han, who was twisting his sword eyebrows, suddenly knelt on the ground like a nervous person, leaned on the ground with his hands, and put his head on the ground to condense and listen, his action startled Xiang Xuemei, thinking that he was going to do something, and when he saw his mysterious appearance, he was angry and funny, the big ass was half a day high, ugly to death, and at that time there was a thought of wanting to kick his buttocks, and the kicking might be quite relieving.

The iron soldiers over there and Rong Jie glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what Ling Han was doing, this 'young master' was acting strangely.

The muffled 'boom boom' sound penetrated into Ling Han's ears from the depths of the formation, and he couldn't catch it if he didn't listen carefully, sticking to the cold and hard ground for nearly a minute, hearing seven or eight such sounds, Xiang Xuemei couldn't help but kick him with her toes, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

Ling Han got up with a solemn face, patted the dust on his hands, and stared at her with burning eyes, "Sister Mei, we can't go to the party school." ”

This brainless sentence made Xiang Xuemei even more embarrassed, as soon as she mentioned this, she was not angry in her heart, and glanced at him, "What do you mean?" ”

"Didn't you hear what those two people said? Didn't you see the two rats just now? At noon, Chu Jianxiong said that he encountered snakes twice when collecting firewood, and the snakes in winter are hibernating, and basically they will not come out, the dogs bark, the chickens are not on the shelves, and the cattle and horses are not in the circle, why do you say? ”

The combination of these words made Xiang Xuemei suddenly understand what was going on, and her face couldn't help but change, "You mean ......?"

Ling Han nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Earthquake, I was lying on the ground and heard the sound of the formation roaring, maybe... The reservoir is about to collapse..."

Xiang Xuemei's face changed miserably, her whole body trembled, and her voice was out of tune, "This ...... How is this possible? Ling Han...... How can it be? ”

"How could it be? Sister...... Follow me and run for your life, anyway, the two of us are suspended, go back to the county to find a high ground to hide......" Ling Han said and took Xiang Xuemei's little hand and ran to the car, pulling him to run, Xiang Xuemei couldn't break free, and she lost her square inch for a while.

Tie Bing and Rong Jie couldn't figure out what was going on, so they got into the car together, started the engine, and were ready to set off at any time.

Ling Han, who got into the car, didn't say where he was going, he just took out his mobile phone and quickly pulled out the number, Xiang Xuemei wanted to speak and stopped, she really couldn't accept this fact for a while, but based on the analysis of those situations, this seems to have become an established fact, he, do you really want to run?

"Hey, Captain Cao? Well, I'm Ling Han, huh...... It's not a big deal, it's just that I suggest that your group do a field training......"

Xiang Xuemei beside her rolled her eyes, who is it? This is going to be an earthquake, what else is Captain Cao discussing with him about field training? Sick?

Cao Tiemian didn't think so, Ling Han called and proposed 'field training', I was afraid that there was something in his words, "What does Director Ling mean..."

"Heh, Commander Cao, it's good to train in the wild, set up dozens of tents in the field, and let the soldiers exercise and exercise their physique, I even chose a place for you, Qinghepu Reservoir, well, hurry up, the opportunity for meritorious service, the Earthquake Bureau is about to announce a new discovery, understand?"

"Understood, understood, I immediately gathered the team and tried to rush to the Qinghepu Reservoir within an hour." Cao Tiemian's voice was very bright.

After closing the line, Ling Han looked at Xiang Xuemei's excited eyes and said with a wry smile: "Sister Mei, there's only so much I can do." ”

Xiang Xuemei understood at this moment what he meant by the phrase 'we don't have to go to the party school', because there was going to be an earthquake, because the real terrible consequences of "Reservoir Crisis" were about to break out, she no longer hesitated, took out her mobile phone and dialed the phone of Secretary Tao of the Municipal Party Committee.

……

The siren whistled, as long as the team of more than 30 cars drove into Qinghepu Village of Qinghepu Township, before that, dozens of military trucks have been driven to the southwest of Qinghepu Village, where the green military tents have been paved, the people of the village have moved to the mountains with the support of the soldiers, the stuffy air makes people feel more irritated, occasionally see the rats and snakes in the field walking, as if the end of the world is in general.

At four o'clock, the sky was already gray, and the yellow fog over the Nanshan Reservoir was even thicker and gloomy.

The leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal axe, the leaders of the county party committee and the county political axe, the people from the municipal meteorological bureau, the earthquake bureau and other relevant departments all arrived, and the public security bureau, the radio and television station, the newspaper office, the evening newspaper, the Qinghepu township political axe, and more than 100 people patrolled the village together.

"Secretary Tao, Secretary Tao......" Hu Keming, director of the Earthquake Bureau, ran over out of breath and said with an ugly face: "The comrades below have carried out on-the-spot supervision, and the results are...... The earthquake could erupt today and tomorrow, and the magnitude is difficult to determine......"

All the officials, including Secretary Tao, changed their faces greatly, they knew how powerful the word earthquake was, Tao Tianwang took a long breath, "Xinjiang City, which is full of disasters and difficulties, don't panic, Director Hu, can you detect the location of the epicenter?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say, but basically it can be determined that it is in the Qinghepu area, and I am afraid that the epicenter is in the reservoir and ......."

Who knows what the outcome would be if the epicenter was in the reservoir, even Tao Tianwang's face was a little dirty, and the rest of the people were all dirty, 300 million cubic meters of water rushed out, and if Xinjiang City was not flooded, it would also wash away a large and a half cities, "Reservoir Crisis" really came.

At this moment, almost everyone thought of the words 'reservoir crisis', and Li Yibin then turned his head and instructed a secretary, "Tell the comrades of the TV station and newspaper office that the live situation in Qinghepu should not be broadcast or reported without the instructions of the municipal party committee......

If this guy comes to report on the spot, he is afraid that within an hour, Xinjiang Shijiang will be completely turned upside down, Tao Tianwang said to Li Yibin solemnly: "Mayor Li, you immediately go back and come up with a coping plan, and arrange the city's earthquake prevention and disaster prevention work in the shortest possible time..."

"Okay, Secretary Tao, I'll rush back," Li Yibin glanced at Xiang Ling and the others not far away when he was leaving.

A bunch of leaders in Xinxian County looked at Xiang Xuemei and Ling Han, their eyes were full of excitement and excitement, and they were even more worried and uneasy.

Cao Tiemian, the head of the X regiment in Xinxian County, stood with them, and it seemed that the strength of this team was 'transferred' by Xiang Ling. The black military plate Ben 600 was parked not far away, and everyone was guessing who was sitting in the car? In fact, there was no one sitting in the car, and it was a little dark and I couldn't see clearly.

Tao Tianwang asked the secretary general of the municipal party committee to report the emergency situation in Xinshi to the general office of the provincial party committee, and the accompanying personnel were all in a hurry, but the comrades concerned had already conveyed an order, not to leak the situation here, and now what we want is a stable situation, once the chaos breaks out, it will not end, the director of the municipal bureau was ordered to mobilize the city's cadres and policemen to maintain social order, and the people of the municipal party committee office also contacted the local armed police force and the military sub-district headquarters. The order of the national anti-disaster and earthquake war was unveiled in just two hours, just because of a phone call from Xiang Xuemei, an 'earth-shattering' phone call, Guan Jian is that this situation has been recognized by the relevant authorities very authoritatively, the earthquake bureau and the meteorological bureau have made a detailed analysis and judgment of the abnormal situation, and the results are surprisingly consistent, to earthquake!

When it was almost dark, Governor Du Nanjiang's phone directly hit Tao Tianwang's mobile phone, "Comrade Tianwang, is it basically confirmed?" ”

Tao Tianwang said with a heavy heart: "Yes, Governor Du, I and the comrades of the Earthquake Bureau, the Meteorological Bureau and other relevant departments are now in the Qinghepu Reservoir, and their detection results are that an earthquake will break out today and tomorrow, and the epicenter is in Qinghepu Township, and the estimated magnitude is above ...... four."

For a long time, Du Nanjiang didn't speak, "Your municipal party committee and municipal axe must fully implement the work of disaster prevention and earthquake prevention, even if you don't sleep all night today, you must do a good job for me, there are casualties, I only ask, I will take a helicopter over immediately, I want to see Xiang Xuemei..."

……

In the night, the roar of the airplanes came from far and near, dozens of large tents were tied up on the higher section next to the Qinghepu Reservoir, the fires all over the mountains and fields, the sky was dark red, the surrounding cows neighed and horses barked, dogs barked and chickens crowed, so lively, all the people looked up at the sky.

There are only three villages downstream of the reservoir in Qinghepu Township, including Qinghepu Village, and now the villagers of these three villages, with the assistance of the officers and men of the X Regiment, have all safely moved to a large tent on the southwest highlands, and the peasants' eyes are full of fear and shock.

In fact, there is much more chaos in the city than here, the public security, the armed police, and the garrison troops (halberd divisions) have dispatched tens of thousands of people, and the news cannot be hidden, and in the 'effective' program organized by the city, batch after batch of citizens are moving to the north higher 'Shilitai', Shilitai Township is under the jurisdiction of the Beixiao District, the geographical location is high and flat, and the 'company camp' here has been set up for several miles, and the roads are full of people.

The brightly lit Xinjiang City was dark tonight, and those dimly lit places meant that the buildings were empty.

At this time, it was already past 10 o'clock in the night, and the helicopter descended in an open place, and in addition to the provincial governor Du Nanjiang, Su Jingyang, member of the Standing Committee of the Boming City CPC Committee, deputy secretary, and mayor of the city, and the two entourages were secretaries of Du and Su, and the helicopters were transferred from the provincial military district.

A bunch of leaders of the municipal party committee and municipal axes led by Tao Tianwang and the cadres of the new county greeted them, and many officers and soldiers of the X regiment stood around straight, Xiang Xuemei and Ling Han followed behind this group of people, saying that they were 'suspended' by others, and it was okay to appear on this occasion.

"Governor Du is good, Mayor Su is good...... Tao Tianwang stepped forward to shake hands respectively, although he is very familiar with Su Jingyang, and his rank is half a level higher than himself, he still has to have the courtesy, Su Tao's estrangement is a difference in work, not a personal grudge, so it is not that it cannot be combined.

"Well, we have already gone around in the air above the city, the work of the municipal axe of the Xinjiang Municipal Party Committee is okay, we don't care about it tonight, the safe transfer of citizens and ordinary people must be completed, what a big reservoir, we are all negligent......" Du Nanjiang searched for Xiang Xuemei in the crowd while walking forward, and soon found her in the back row, they had met before.

Su Jingyang is half a step behind Du Nanjiang, and Tao Tianwang is half a step behind Su Jingyang, and this way of moving is clearly 'graded'.

The tall and straight young man standing with Xiang Xuemei was very eye-catching, Du Nanjiang felt that this young man was a little similar to whom, and he couldn't think of it for a while, no need to ask, this was the famous 'Ling Han', he participated in it both times before and after. The reservoir incident', it is estimated that this person has a lot of influence on Xiang Xuemei, from the perspective of another possible surname, Xiang Xuemei's political understanding is deeper than this Ling Han, then, it is almost certain that the real mastermind of the reservoir incident is Ling not Xiang, and Du Nanjiang analyzed it in this way.

If Ling Han knew Du Nanjiang's thoughts at this time, he would have admired him, he was worthy of being an important official in a province, and his shrewdness was really very human.
