Chapter 467: The Sharp-headed Fish in the Dark Hole
Rescue efforts are underway, with hundreds of excavators desperately digging in the earth and life gauges searching for survivors in every inch of land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 However, most people understand that there is little hope of survival.
The Xiangyangba Primary School resettlement site was removed the next night, leaving only Lao Pu and Lao Pu's wife living in it.
Wang Qiao had a fever at night, and there was an element of inflammation of the wound and the constant rain. He has been exercising for a long time, and his body is as strong as an ox, and he rarely gets sick. Today's fever was really ferocious, and it soon burned to 40 degrees.
Wang Qiao looked at Lu Qi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed worried, and said, "It's okay, isn't it just forty degrees, regular fever can also enhance immunity." ”
Lu Qi said angrily: "You are also too hard, the earth will rotate like anyone else, and Changdong will run very well without you." The deputy governor offered to organize you to deal with you at the scene, and I couldn't help but want to use foul language. This is very close to my father's situation back then, risking his life to fight the underworld, but he was framed as a triad and almost went to prison. ”
Wang Qiao said: "I accept your opinion, now the rescue is not my business, and the post-disaster reconstruction will be put in the next step, so I want to take a few days off, go home, you and my parents meet, set a wedding date." I'll take a trip with you to the sheep's back to see the places where we used to live together. ”
Lu Qi thought for a while and said, "After your fever subsides, let's go to the sheep's back first, take a look at the shower you washed and the fruit trees you planted, and also go to see the dark hole." Then go home. ”
Wang Qiao said: "It's a pity that there is no water in that dark hole, Niu Qingde opened a mine upstream and directly cut off the water source." Later, the mine was abandoned, and I went to see it when I was a freshman, but there was still no water. ”
Lu Qi said: "In this way, you haven't been to see that dark hole for many years, maybe that dark hole has water again, and there are a lot of sharp-headed fish again." ”
Wang Qiao said: "This is a beautiful dream. ”
Lu Qi said: "According to your description, you don't know where the dark river was cut off, so it is possible that after a few years, it will come out again." Anything is possible, dare to dream. ”
Shortly after Wang Qiao fell asleep, Yoshiyosu came to the hospital.
"Secretary Ji, hello." Lu Qi knew that Ji Zhizhou was a staunch supporter of Wang Qiao, so he quickly stood up and said hello.
Ji Zhizhou said: "Xiao Lu, how is the situation in Wang Qiao?" ”
Lu Qi said: "At the peak, the fever reached forty degrees, and now that the temperature has dropped, he has just fallen asleep." ”
Ji Zhizhou said: "Then take a good rest for a few days and leave the matter to Li Lingqiu." ”
Wang Qiao, who was in a daze, heard Ji Zhizhou's voice, opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, and said, "Secretary Ji, except for Lao Pu and Lao Pu's mother, the nine families are all relatives and friends. Chengguan Town has made arrangements, and the leaders of each town will contact a villager affected by the disaster, and they can understand what the situation is at the first time, and there will be no abnormal situation. ”
Ji Zhizhou sighed and said: "If everyone is as responsible as Wang Qiao, I will worry less about it." ”
Lu Qi remembered what the vice governor had said, and said, "Today, the leader also said that he would organize and deal with Wang Qiao. ”
Ji Zhizhou privately looked down on the newly arrived vice governor. But this kind of disdain can only be buried in the heart, and it must not be expressed to anyone. "It's just information asymmetry. ”
Wang Qiao said: "Secretary Ji, I want to rest for two days and take Lu Qi to meet his parents." I was holding it so hard some time ago that I had to take a breath. These two heavy rains are over, and it is estimated that there will not be such heavy rain this year. ”
Ji Zhizhou said: "This year is really stressful, from SARS to heavy rain, there is a hurdle every month. You have a good rest for a few days, and you will come back full of blood and come back to life. ”
Hearing the always serious leader say such a thing as resurrection with full blood, Wang Qiao laughed.
After obtaining Ji Zhizhou's consent, Wang Qiao also handed over the affairs of Chengguan Town to Li Lingqiu and Li Shaojie in a dashing manner. A town mayor and a deputy secretary are all tested colleagues, and the two of them are responsible for stabilizing the situation, and there is no problem in the daily operation of Chengguan Town.
When Wang Qiao casually talked about this kind of thought, Lu Qi smiled and said: "You are too deep in the play, everyone in Chengguan Town will turn the same when they leave, you are just one of the better leaders." Moreover, as we have now, it is unlikely that a person who is too bad will be placed in a key post in Chengguan Town. ”
Wang Qiao agreed with Lu Qi. When Song Hongli, the former party secretary, was in charge of Chengguan Town, the cadres of Chengguan Town thought that Song Hongli was the best party secretary, and they all felt that the development of Chengguan Town could not be separated from Secretary Song. And the reality is that Secretary Song is gone, Secretary Wang is here, and Chengguan Town is running well.
As for the handling of the aftermath of the Yanghe mine, because this matter is too big, the provincial, city, and county leaders focus on it, and there is not much to do with Wang Qiao.
After the fever subsided, Wang Qiao drove away from Changdong County and went to his hometown with Lu Qi.
Wang Qiao's mood was really relaxed at this time, and he said, "Did your diary record the first time you and I went to the old hometown?" ”
Lu Qi said: "I remember it, I don't know if it's the same as your impression?" ”
Wang Qiao smiled: "You were a cold beauty at the beginning, and you ignored me at all. ”
Lu Qi said: "In the diary on the day of registration, I wrote the most about my father's unjust case, I was immersed in that matter and couldn't help myself, and I only had a faint stroke to you - there was a middle school teacher and student assigned to the old township primary school, and I shared a car. ”
The car was running on the county road to the old village. This county road has been renovated the year before last and is already a full cement road. The time taken from Jiuxiang to the county seat is still a winding mountain road, and the time taken is greatly shortened, and the distance between the old township and the county seat is actually shortened.
Wang Qiao said with emotion: "We are actually quite fateful, the first time we sat together was on the long-distance bus, and the first time I listened to you was on the long-distance bus." ”
Lu Qi said: "Tell me the details again." ”
Wang Qiao talked about the things that Lu Qi ignored in his diary: "At that time, there was a cold-faced woman sitting by the window with an expressionless face, putting her luggage on her lap, and there was a cold look that refused to be thousands of miles away. That cold-faced woman is you, very arrogant. The old township bus was crowded, and the men and women who had not bought tickets on the bus stood in the driveway, and there was a strong smell of fish and sweat in the air. I still remember the strong fishy smell on the bus, I used to hate it, but now I don't hate it, I feel kind. I had the privilege of sitting in a row with you, and there was a fat woman standing next to me. This woman always leans on me and eats my tofu. ”
Hearing this, Lu Qi laughed and said, "Don't brag, you graduated from the middle school at the beginning, and you are still very tender." ”
For a long time, Dapeng Mine has been a sword hanging on Wang Qiao's head, and now that this sword has finally been broken and the crisis has been lifted, Wang Qiao is in a very relaxed mood, and joked: "The old cow eats tender grass, you should remember this sentence." ”
"Boasting!" Lu Qi said again: "You just said that the first time you heard me speak, it was also in the car, did we meet several times a day and didn't speak?" ”
Wang Qiao said: "You were really arrogant at the beginning, your mouth was closed tightly, and you didn't speak. ”
The car entered the territory of the old village at this time. Jiuxiang is located in the depths of Bayue Mountain, with cliffs and cliffs, shallow streams and crystal clear bottoms, which is quite like a tourist scenic spot.
Lu Qi looked at the scenery on both sides and said, "It's strange, I never wrote in my diary that the scenery of the old hometown is beautiful." ”
Wang Qiao said: "Travel is from the place where you are tired of living to the place where others are tired of living, the so-called scenery is the interpretation of the mountain and the water by tourists, and the people born here see the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water." ”
Lu Qi turned his mind back from the scenery, and Jijiao asked, "Then what was the first thing I said to you?" ”
Wang Qiao said: "You must not have been able to stand the smell of the car at that time, and twisted your head towards the open window to avoid the turbid air and crowds. The bus bumped all the way, and when it was halfway up the hill it suddenly tilted to the right, and you didn't notice it, and it hit me at once, and then said the first thing to me - sorry. Since lunchtime, you and I have met several times, and this is the first time I spoke, and the reason why I was impressed was that you did not speak Changdong dialect, but the accent of Jingzhou City. For Shannan Provincial City, the Jingzhou City accent is very rustic, and for Badong County, the Jingzhou City accent is very fashionable, so it is very impressive. Also, after I answered that it didn't matter, I asked you if you had come to the old village middle school, but your attitude was still cold, and you turned your face out of the window, obviously unwilling to continue talking to me. ”
Lu Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "At that time, I always thought of my father who was shuanggui, who is still in the mood to take care of you little brat." ”
While talking and laughing, the car drove to the old village. There was no pause in the old township, and it drove directly to the sheep's back.
The small village of Yangbei is now completely dilapidated. After many years of family planning, the number of school-age children has been greatly reduced, and several villages and elementary schools have often been combined. The village is small and remote, so students move to other villages. At present, the walls are overgrown with weeds, and chickens and dogs are running happily in the grass.
Wang Qiao led Lu Qi to easily collapse the collapsed wall.
Lu Qi said: "I want to see the homemade bathroom, the diary focuses on this bathroom, taking a shower in the sheep's back, which was a very important thing for me at that time." ”
There are four houses for teachers to live in in Yangbei Village, and since Wang Qiao is the only one who lives, Wang Qiao extravagantly converts one room into a shower.
The original room had been unoccupied for a long time, and the floor was so damp that it was moss. In order to renovate the bathroom, he deliberately knocked down a small section of the wall, and the bricks he took down were laid in this room, and the brick joints were carefully smeared with Sanhe soil, and the bamboo tubes provided by Ma Manzi were paved in the corners of the walls, so that the water could be diverted out of the door and a bathroom that could drain water.
For ten years, Wang Qiao originally thought that this bathroom no longer existed. At this time, when he came to the deserted campus and pushed open the empty door, he was taken aback, the bathroom was still a bathroom, which was overgrown with weeds, and most of the water guide bamboo tubes were rotten, but the traces still existed.
Wang Qiao said: "After I left, I assigned a young female teacher to live in Yangbei, and she should have made use of the bathroom I made. Later, after the merger, it is estimated that no one has ever been here. ”
On the second floor, the bucket that used to hold water is so rusty that only the bottom circle remains. The floor slabs were in a dilapidated state and looked as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
"Brother Man, Brother Man." Ma Manzi, who lived next door, had already noticed that there were people, and after he stood by the courtyard wall and saw the Wang Bridge clearly, he immediately shouted happily.
Lu Qi asked, "That's Ma Manzi?" ”
Wang Qiao nodded and said, "Exactly, I will stay at his house tonight." ”
Lu Qi hesitated a little and said, "Is his house clean?" ”
Wang Qiao said: "Not clean? ”
Lu Qi shook his head vigorously and said, "Then forget it." Eat at his house at noon, take a look at the dark hole in the afternoon, and go back to the city after seeing the dark hole. ”
The orchard contracted by Wang Qiao in the early years has brought a lot of benefits to Ma Manzi in recent years, so every time Ma Manzi sees Wang Qiao come back, he is always uneasy. Wang Qiao has the bearing of a leader, and he also understands Ma Manzi's thoughts, so he said when they met: "Ma Manzi, the previous agreement still counts, don't think about it." An old friend came today to get something delicious. ”
Ma Manzi looked at Lu Qi for a while before saying, "You are Teacher Lu." ”
There are also Ma Manzi in Lu Qi's diary, and when I saw a real person today, it was as "thick" as in the diary. She greeted: "Ma Manzi, there is no change from ten years ago." ”
Ma Manzi was obviously a little shy, and said: "The old man is old, what else can he change." ”
A few people sat in the courtyard of Ma Manzi chatting, and Wang Qiao asked: "This primary school is so dilapidated, should the village rent it out?" Houses that no one lives in, loses faster. ”
Ma Manzi said: "This place is not on the world, who will rent it?" There is no use in renting it. If it weren't for this orchard, I would have moved. ”
At lunchtime, Wang Qiao still didn't drink a drop of wine, but brought two bottles of Shannan Red from the car to give to Ma Manzi. Shannanhong is a good wine, the price is not cheap, it is rare for Ma Manzi to drink such a good wine, without waiting for Wang Qiao to persuade the wine, the left cup and the right cup are gone, and half a bottle is quickly dried. Shannan Red is sixty degrees, and after half a bottle is dried, Ma Manzi is drunk and falls on the bed, snoring loudly.
Ma Manzi's wife was most afraid that Ma Manzi would go crazy after drinking, and when she saw Ma Manzi drunk, she simply found an excuse to go to the town.
Wang Qiao took the tools into the orchard, opened the entrance of the dark cave, and entered the cave with Lu Qi.
The cave is somewhat cool and secluded, the air is extremely fresh, and there is no smell of acid and decay. Lu Qi took Wang Qiao's hand and said, "This hole is so dark, I'm a little afraid." Wang Qiao said: "It's okay, I'm too familiar with this hole, there is a fork in the road a few hundred meters away, and the second small fork is the dark hole, the dark hole and the outside are open, there will be no toxic gases, just to prevent snakes and rats." ”
After walking through the second small fork, I heard the sound of flowing water. The closer you go, the more rapid the sound of the water. Both of them were stunned when they came to the dark cave.
The dark river has a lot of water, and there are countless sharp-headed fish swimming happily in it.
