Xinglin Township is the last stop of Chu Tianshu's inspection and investigation, and it is also the most remote township in Nanling County, most of which is mountainous, and the economic indicators rank at the bottom of the county, and it is the most famous poor and remote land in the southeast province.

Chu Tianshu is not too unfamiliar with Xinglin Township, he came to the mountaintop primary school to send donated materials, and accompanied Yi Haitao to inspect the disaster. There are also two of his friends, one is Zheng Zhiguo, a representative of the villagers, and the other is Luo Yubin, a teacher at the Peak Primary School.

At around ten o'clock, Ma Guosheng drove into the boundary of Xinglin Township.

Zheng Youtian, secretary of the party committee of Xinglin Township, gave the new secretary a super "surprise": his greeting team was waiting at the head of the village five kilometers away from the township government, similar to the ancient "suburban greeting", which is nothing, and the brilliant thing is that the welcome team is unprecedentedly large, including not only the members of the township party committee and government team, but also the responsible persons of each village, almost making people think that he summoned the whole township cadres to hold an on-site office meeting.

This grand courtesy is also manifested in the surrounding arrangement, the road is clean and neat, and the traces of new painting and surprise cleaning can be clearly seen, and flags are planted on the roadside, slogans are hung, only yellow sand is paved, water is sprinkled on the street, gongs and drums are beaten, and the guard of honor is beaten.

Chu Tianshu thought that Ma Guoliang in Ziyang Township was already more formalistic, but Zheng Youtian was even more outrageous than him, and he was an upgraded version of Ma Guoliang, which corresponded to a popular sentence on the Internet: There is no most, only more.

Chu Tianshu couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't lose his temper, but his face couldn't restrain himself.

Zheng Youtian is of medium stature, his belly has been fat, and a trouser belt is tied under the navel, as if his pants will fall off if he is not careful, he does not look like a rural cadre, but like a migrant worker boss, the smile on his face, from the beginning of the meeting to the later accompanying inspection, the smile on his face has never disappeared, like an indispensable part of the whole body.

On the contrary, the township mayor Huang Fulin is thin and tall, with a dark complexion, completely the image of a typical grassroots township cadre, with a serious face, looking like an old-fashioned teacher, and later in the chat, Chu Tianshu learned that Huang Fulin had been a teacher in the county middle school for a period of time in his early years, and he was very surprised.

Chu Tianshu got out of the car and shook hands with Zheng Youtian, Huang Fulin and others, and greeted a group of rural cadres before continuing on the road.

The rural road leading to the Xinglin Township Government was full of large dump trucks coming and going, and the center of the two-lane roadbed was pressed out by heavy dump trucks with several deep grooves, and Ma Guosheng had to drive cautiously against the outside road to avoid rubbing the chassis.

After walking bumpily for a while, I encountered several large dump trucks in front of me, occupying the middle of the road, crawling little by little.

The driver honked the horn several times, and the big dump truck had no intention of giving way, and the Santana and the Audi car could only follow behind, driving slowly in the diffuse dust and thick black exhaust.

Stop-and-go, crawling like a snail for dozens of meters, Ma Guosheng, who had been silent and silent, couldn't help it, he raised his body and looked ahead, and complained: "What kind of name is this?" The density of this dump truck today is more than double that of the last time I came. ”

Chu Tianshu asked thoughtfully, "Master Ma, how far is it to the township government?" ”

Ma Guosheng was silent for a moment, looked out the window, and replied, "Ten miles." ”

Wang Yongchao asked unhappily: "At this speed, when will it arrive?" ”

Ma Guosheng said: "It's hard to say. ”

Wang Yongchao couldn't help but look at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu was silent, but he knew in his heart that if nothing else, there was a ninety percent chance that it might be an obstacle deliberately set up by Chase Company. He said lightly: "Master Ma, don't worry. ”

Ma Guosheng didn't make a sound, but looked back at the rearview mirror, as if he was still uneasy, and turned his head to look behind the rear window.

Wang Yongchao asked puzzledly: "Master Ma, what are you doing if you don't look at the front, look at the back?" ”

Ma Guosheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, there is no car behind to follow." ”

Wang Yongchao smiled bitterly: "Master Ma, we can't walk, why are you still worried about the car behind?" ”

Ma Guosheng hesitated, but what he wanted to say was not said.

With such a delay, the Audi car and Santana opened up some distance.

Wang Yongchao said, "Master Ma, follow along." ”

Chu Tianshu seemed to understand something, and said to Wang Yongchao: "Xiao Wang, what are you anxious about?" Don't interfere with Master Ma's driving. ”

After a few hundred more meters, we entered a muddy section.

Ma Guosheng glanced at the back again.

Suddenly, a wave of horns sounded.

Santana in front turned on the double jump lights and began to reverse little by little.

"Not good!" Ma Guosheng quickly stepped on the brakes and shifted to reverse gear.

At this time, Wang Yongchao's mobile phone rang, and as soon as he connected it, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said, "Secretary Zheng, what did you say?" Slippery, slippery? …… Chu, Secretary Chu, Secretary Zheng said that there was a dump truck in front of it that had brakes that failed and had a slippery ......"

The scariest thing about driving on a mountain road happened.

Large vehicles on the mountain road stop and go, from time to time ramp start, brake wear is serious, it is easy to lead to brake failure, the phenomenon of slipping, if the driver is inexperienced, improper operation, it is very likely to cause the entire road section of the car to be destroyed and killed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Ma Guosheng didn't say a word, tightened the steering wheel, and immediately turned on the double jump lights, and the Audi car quickly regressed. Obviously, he was mentally prepared and optimistic about the terrain, so he did not panic, retreated to a bend, and parked the car on the emergency avoidance lane specially set up on the mountain road.

Santana's driver was even more accustomed to running on mountain roads, and he dealt with it in a timely manner, following the Audi and retreating into the danger lane.

The dump trucks honked their horns and regressed along the mountain road.

Ma Guosheng glared and suddenly scolded: "! ”

Wang Yongchao wiped a handful of sweat from his head and peeked at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu turned out to be calm.

The dump convoy retreated to the evacuation lane and came to a stop in front of Santana and the Audi.

Huang Fulin got out of Santana's car, ignoring the mud on the ground, with a black face, rushed to the nearest dump truck, and yelled and scolded: "Paralyzed, what the hell are you messing with?" ”

A black and strong man jumped down from the dump truck, and said with a hippie smile: "Township Chief Huang, I'm sorry, there was something wrong with the car, and the brakes couldn't be braked, which frightened the leaders." ”

"Hanging hair?" Huang Fulin didn't give up, pointed to a row of dump trucks, and asked: "Tuesday Kui, you have a little * nonsense, you explain to Lao Tzu, why are they all stopped now?" ”

Tuesday Kui smiled and said, "Township Chief Huang, you are also a fucking cadre, how can you scold people when you open your mouth?" ”

"It's still light for me to scold you." Huang Fulin angrily pushed up in front of Zhou Kui and shouted, "You don't want to die, dare to make such a joke at this time?" If something big happens, you can't eat and you have to walk around. ”

The drivers of the dump truck all came down, and they gathered around, holding their arms one by one, and stood on the side of the road to watch the excitement.

Tuesday Kui said indifferently: "What are you kidding? If something goes wrong with the car, what can I do? Brothers, don't you think? ”

The drivers let out a burst of laughter and chimed in, "yes, yes." ”

Huang Fulin's face turned red with anger, waved his hand, and said, "I don't have time to talk to you now, hurry up and drive your car away." ”

Tuesday Kui spread his hands and said, "Something is wrong, I can't open it." ”

Huang Fulin glanced at the car behind him and asked loudly: "Tuesday Kui, don't make a mistake, do you know who is sitting in the car today?" ”

"Who do I care about him?" Tuesday Kui took out a box of cigarettes, walked around the surrounding drivers, lit one himself, and said: "The car is broken, even the king of heaven can only sit down." ”

The drivers lit cigarettes and stood behind Tuesday Kui to make a fool of themselves.

Zheng Youtian also got out of the car, still with a smile on his face, he walked in front of Zhou Kui and said, "Second Kui, don't make trouble, the new Secretary Chu came to Xinglin Township for the first time to inspect, and it was too much trouble, and it was not good for you and the company." ”

Instead of listening, Tuesday Kui shouted even harder: "The new Secretary Chu? Wow, I'm about to ask him, why did you order our car to be detained? ”

Chu Tianshu sat in the car and watched coldly. What he didn't expect was that Huang Fulin, who looked like a teacher, would burst into foul language when he started a fire.

At this time, Chu Tianshu rolled down the window and asked, "Secretary Zheng, what's going on?" ”

Zheng Youtian walked a few steps, approached Chu Tianshu, and whispered: "Secretary Chu, there is something wrong with the dump truck of Datong Company, don't worry, it will be dealt with in a while." ”

Chu Tianshu said coldly: "I don't think it's like there's something wrong with the car, it's something wrong with the person, right?" ”

This time, Zheng Youtian's smile was a little embarrassed, and he said: "Hehe, these drivers have such a quality, don't be like them, I'll tell them to give way immediately." ”

Tuesday Kui also saw Chu Tianshu, he waved his hand and shouted: "The car is broken, I can't drive, I have the ability to detain all our cars." ”

Chu Tianshu asked, "Who is this?" ”

Zheng Youtian said: "Oh, the dispatcher of Datong Company, called Tuesday Kui, the apprentice of the boss Zhou Botong, this guy is a bit of a mess, he is a thorn." ”

Chu Tianshu nodded, and looked at Zhou Kui with his eyes.

Tuesday Kui also saw it, and he said to the drivers nonchalantly: "I'm afraid of a ball of hair, it's not a head and two arms, and it can still gnaw the old men." ”

The crowd of drivers burst into laughter and chatter.

Chu Tianshu pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

Wang Yongchao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, hurriedly got out of the car, and frowned in embarrassment when he saw the mud all over the ground.

Zheng Youtian shouted "Master Ma" and stepped aside.

Ma Guosheng responded, hurriedly got out of the car, bypassed the front of the car, walked to Chu Tianshu, squatted down slightly, and put his hands on his lap.

Chu Tianshu asked, "Master Ma, what are you doing here?" ”
