In the end, everyone went in the other direction, and it was also a small mountain, but this mountain was much smaller, and once the two schools were built, they were far away from each other, echoing each other. Lotus They have implemented these once. Looking up at Lan Lan's sky, he let out a loose breath in his heart, and then went home.

Lotus returned to the office, there was no sleepiness at all, she had to work hard to find deeper, farther, newer things, so she opened her mind to continue searching, looking for new data, and every program, every link, even a small punctuation, did not let go, and re-examined and re-sorted them one by one: from her own memory to her own family, from helping Wang Zhongyu to give up her studies, from giving up her studies to becoming a village girl, from selling blood to treat Wang Zhongyu's father's illness to starting a company, From the iron pot factory to today's Lotus Food Co., Ltd., everything displayed in front of you seems to be a little unsatisfactory, as if something seems to be missing? Open this historical chapter of life, and strive to turn every page, it seems that every page has drawn a successful end, and it seems that every page is blank. The innocence of childhood has also been replaced by maturity, the fantasy of childhood has been replaced by reality, and all the wreaths woven by the years have also passed, these seem to be so close and seem to be out of reach, and the lotus continues to work hard to collect all the data to recombine, arrange, and come up with new answers. Suddenly, the mouse of the thought mode locked on the keyboard of the brain: all the efforts for the mountain village are worth it. Just as the lotus flower was still struggling to continue the search, scrolling the mouse, she hadn't pressed the last confirmation. A burst of fierce shouts at the factory gate dragged back to the real screen. Every day at the gate of the factory, as long as they get off work, many employees have been eating in the canteen for a long time, and they occasionally come out to make a few dental sacrifices. Especially in the past few days of salary payment, the voice of the shopkeeper at the gate of the factory is even louder, and it seems that one is louder than the other. Lotus then realized that she was a little hungry, it was time to eat, she walked out of the office and entered the elevator, the elevator has been landing at the door of the first floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, several people at the door were hurriedly preparing to enter the elevator, and someone hurriedly called behind:

"Wait, how are you looking for someone like this? I don't know what floor he lives on? That office? With such a high floor, do you have to search all the floors? I don't have that much patience. How many people? Isn't it going to fight and quarrel? ”

The lotus looked at them and said, "Who are you looking for?" Can you tell me, the same? ”

"Who are you? We are looking for Du Fei, there is a very important thing to tell him, he has not been to the scene for a long time, although we are also taking matters into our own hands, but we have to tell him! If something goes wrong, who will pay for it? He never went, so we came to the door after work today to see what he had in mind. Who are you to tell you useful? The man who told everyone to stop just now said.

"It works! How could it be useless? It must be useful. Lotus replied.

"Why should I trust you? We don't know you. The man said.

"Please believe me, Du Fei is not in the office." Lotus said.

At this time, Zhao Hongxia was also going to the office, and she happened to run into this incident. She said:

"Du Fei has something to do, he went on a temporary business trip, and he will come back for a while, is he in a hurry? If you're in a hurry, tell her, and if you're not in a hurry, wait for your manager Du to come back. ”

"Hurry! Why not rush? If you're not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry to find him? The man said.

"Since you're in a hurry, you don't visit her and tell her! You don't know her? She is the president of Lotus who pays us salaries, isn't it the same when you tell her about it? ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a big shot. The man said.

At this time, the elevator opened again, and Mu Yanzhen and Li Hong came out of the elevator. The lotus stopped them and said:

"Listen to it, and we'll think it together. Why hasn't Mr. Mu returned home yet? Mr. Li, how are you together! ”

"Okay, I'll come down for dinner, I came back just now and I thought it was early, and I happened to meet Manager Mu at the elevator. Where's the president? What's going on? Li Hong replied.

"Oh! All I have to ask you is, have you eaten? Hua He asked a few people just now.

"Still in time to eat? As soon as I got off work, I was ready to reflect the matter before eating, but I didn't expect to run into you without knowing Manager Du's office. ”

"Okay, let's eat together and go." Lotus said.

Then everyone walked into the canteen together, the new canteen is very loose and spacious, walk in from the door, the left and right two are the windows for cooking and cooking, there are twenty-eight on one side and a total of fifty-six, there are eighteen rows of tables and stools of four meters long in the middle of all neatly placed vertically, the tables and stools are about one meter and five aisles, the two people walk back and forth side by side are very loose, along both sides of the two doors are dishwashing troughs, detergent is placed on the dishwashing trough table, and there is a row of cupboard shelves next to the dishwashing sink, which is specially used for staff to store dishes and chopsticks. The dishes and chopsticks have their own names on them, and this cupboard is sterilized at high temperature, which is very hygienic. Everyone made a meal to eat, after eating, Lotus asked the workers just now to go upstairs with her, Lotus, Li Hong, Mu Yanzhen three people walked into the office, Lotus asked them to sit down, slowly explained the situation at the time, the person who just said stood up and walked to the desk and said:

"My name is Wang Guyu, I am from the former Grasshopper Gully Village, and I went to the county seat through the mountain road, through the tunnel, back to back with the Xiaojiashan Group of Dashan Village, and my house is on the side of the road. Due to the previous flood and tourism project is also nearing the end, about to open, we have not entered the cave for a long time, plus the National Day holiday, these caves are closed, just the next morning after the National Day I found that some of my tools were lost in the cave, and then I went to the cave to find my tools, because the route of the cave is in charge of me, I took a few of them together, just walked to the entrance of the cave I managed, I saw that there was half a person high sediment on the ground, and I couldn't get in, I had to take them to remove the sediment first, I don't know where these came from, but when we got the sediment out to a distance of about ten meters, we saw a new hole that had not been there before. ”

"Not busy, not busy, is it that there is a hole on the ground when this cave mouth goes up twenty meters, this is a quate-shaped karst cave, and it is very deep, and the cave wall is smooth?" Lotus asked.

"Yes, we worked hard to continue to remove the sediment to the new hole, the new hole is right and upward, of course, the sediment is getting thinner and thinner, and the removal is getting faster and faster, when we clean up the sediment, we know that these are the sediment that blocked the hole, the water comes out of the hole in a hole with about 80 centimeters of hole, after soaking the mud and sand of these holes, it collapses and then rushes to the lowest part of the hole, it is obvious that this small hole should lead to the ground, as for the way there, of course we don't know. But this hole should not normally be filled with water, and water will only come in if the water on the ground is large enough. After we took it upon ourselves to clean up the sediment, we tried to continue walking ahead to see if there were any other holes, but just about 20 meters away from the hole, an irregular circular hole appeared on the ground, and the wall of the cave was indeed not uneven, and the bottom could not be seen. We see that this is very dangerous, there is a big safety hazard. ”

"And because the underground cave is about to open, I can't wait for Manager Du to come, so I started the fence on my own, and continued to do it while waiting for the arrival of Manager Du, but the poor materials, Manager Du has not come. I don't know what I'm doing right? Or is it wrong? So after work today, we had to come to him, and we happened to run into you. Wang Guyu said.

"You've done a great job and you've done it right! There is some truth in that, let's go and see, it should be the hole where two of the old men fell back then. Lotus said.

"Okay, Li Hong, you call Jiang Song, Wu Bo, Yunzhong, Xiang Dongzhi, Yi Xuhui, Ye Song Quntian Shubi and their phones, and ask them to rush to the hole behind the factory immediately, we will go there to meet, and the others will go back first, you don't have a car, I asked Zheng Haidong to ask the security guard to send you on a motorcycle." Leave two men to go into the cave with us. Lotus said.

"Okay!" Li Hong dialed Jiang Song's phone.

Everyone walked out of the office together, went downstairs to get in the car, and galloped towards the entrance of the cave, now the road from the factory to the entrance of the cave is not the first dirt path, but a wide cement road, lotus, Li Hong, Mu Yanzhen and two workers together.

After about four or five minutes, I saw a flat at the foot of the mountain, and the car turned right, and then left to the parking lot. Li Hong, after parking the car, everyone got out of the car together, and when I saw that there was a small store on the right side of the foot of the backer, the clerk was sitting at the counter, cleaning up the money in the cash cabinet. A janitor is sitting on a bench at the door of the store. There is a small Quannan bamboo pergola next to the side of the commissary, the three sides of the pergola are empty, a rectangular wooden table is placed in the middle, there are four stools around there no one sits, there is a bathroom not far from the mountain, between them is a long stone staircase, the lotus they get off the car and sit on the bar bench on the outside of the parking lot, waiting for the Jiang Song to meet, there is a security booth outside, and there is a security guard reading the newspaper inside. About eleven or twelve minutes later, four black cars drove into the parking lot, parked, walked out of the car, everyone slowly stepped towards the ladder to the entrance of the hole, there is a very small platform on the middle of the ladder half-slope, the platform can accommodate three or four people, in the platform inside the foot of the mountain there is a stone tablet more than two meters high, this is the detailed introduction of the old man Mou's monument of merit! From the start to the entrance of the cave to go up to more than 100 steps to the entrance of the cave, there is a stone tablet of the same size next to the entrance of the cave, one is to introduce the detailed route map of the cave, one is to introduce the general landscape of the various scenic spots of the cave. As soon as everyone enters the hole, the hole is no longer the previous pitch black, but under the illumination of the light, a piece of brightness, like the day, the uneven cave wall is very clearly displayed in front of everyone, the water droplets on the screen occasionally drop on everyone's body, it seems a little cold, everything on the ground is under the light, you can see clearly, the uneven narrow ground before, and now it is a wide and smooth cement road leading to each entrance and exit hole.

Lotus They walked to the entrance of the hole that only one person could climb into, and this hole was the first one that Lotus climbed through. Now it has also been chiseled wide and high, and a person standing can pass through this hole. When people walk about ten meters, a ten spacious hole is in front of you, everyone walked a few meters, you can see that there is a hole about one meter five wide and two meters high on the left side of the front, yes! Everyone remembered that there was no such thing here, Jiang Song took out the previous records, and it was obvious that there was no such hole here. Everyone walked into this hole, and then walked up, saw the hole in the water on the wall of the cave, after walking about 20 meters, there was a very irregular circular hole in the ground, everyone put the lamp into the hole in the ground, people climbed on the ground, looked down, as if they wanted to find a new breakthrough and have a new discovery, or a new harvest. But everything was in vain, and nothing was found except for the smooth walls of the cave, and the bottom of the cave was also pitch black except for the top of the hole, and everyone threw stones into the hole to test the depth of the hole, and as a result, only the sound of gurgling was heard and there was no more after the halfway point. After everyone stood up, Lotus looked at the protection that Wang Guyu had burned, and then said to Wang Guyu:

"This material is not good, replace it immediately, and all of it must be made of good thickening materials, and after the fence is burned, a good protective net must be added. Du Fei is not here in the past few days, Jiang Song, the materials will be in place immediately, and the personnel are not enough, so they will be deployed from the handling there. Lotus said.

"Okay." Jiang Song replied.

Then everyone walked out of the cave, and it was dark, and the lights on the parking lot at the entrance of the cave were on. Everyone got in the car and returned to the factory, and Wang Guyu and the two also went home.

The next morning, everyone got up early, even Mu Yanzhen arrived at the factory early, and Li Hong was already arranging personnel to go to the snack street, six small trucks were full of various souvenirs, Li Hong gave them souvenirs for the shop owners in the form of a lottery, which was also a pioneering achievement. The small truck ran towards the snack street, the lotus ate breakfast, and went to the county seat, and the black car rushed on the north road through the mountain. The car entered the county development office, Lotus got out of the car and walked into Huang Lijuan's office, Huang Lijuan put down the pen:

"Did you come to Xingshi to ask about sin?"

"It's good to know, so can you say it quickly? What about the units and individuals who participate in the food festival? Lotus asked.

"It's all connected, I've been very busy these days, and when I'm done, I'll give you a list of units and individuals to contact. It's always okay! Huang Lijuan said.

"Okay, you see the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth of next month, there is a whole month of preparation time, right? Three days is not enough. Lotus said.

"Okay, but I don't think there's enough time to prepare. The meeting time is about the same, and there must be more content to install. Huang Lijuan said.

"Alright, let's arrange it like this! Our company should also schedule a show! Lotus said.

Then, the lotus walked back, got off at the snack street, and walked to the ceremony site, which was not over yet. The lotus flower looked at the periphery of the ceremony. There are too many people, the prelude is over, and the curtain is coming to an end, and now souvenirs are being distributed. The lotus also squeezed to the scene, leaned on, there were some rental store owners who were waiting for souvenirs, there were also people watching the excitement, there were adults, there were also old people, there were young people, lotus approached and asked a middle-aged man next to him and said:

"Hello, do you rent a storefront here?"

"Yes, you're here to rent a storefront, too?" The man asked.

"I haven't rented it yet, but I have a little idea about it, and I heard that the store is gone? What kind of business do you do? Lotus said and asked.

"Yes, I also heard that the store is gone, I do food? What about you? The man asked.

"I'm a costume maker, I don't know if I can do it? I wonder what business will happen here? Lotus continued to ask.

"It should be fine! Doesn't it mean that where there are many people, business is easy to do? If you look at today's mountain villages, the flow of people is incomparable to that of the county. Every day, there are more than 10,000 visitors here. The man said.

At this time, it was also time for the middle-aged man to draw a lottery, and he said goodbye to the lotus and went. Just as Lotus's phone rang, she turned on her phone:

"Hey, who's that? What's the matter? ”

"Ren Hongkai, the electrician administrator at the entrance of my fifth section of the cave, is checking the line regularly today. A new hole found here, you should go to the cave first and see what is being said! The phone we made at the gate of the factory, and we also knew that today's snack street ceremony meeting may not be in the office, it is too strange, a little eerie, a little scary! We're on security guard and want your phone. The other party said.

"Okay, I'll come right over. You are waiting for me at the factory gate. Lotus walked out as she spoke.

Then getting in the car, Zhao Rui asked, "Why don't you wait until the end of watching for a while!" ”

"There's something urgent, it seems that what your grandfather said is not false at all! These holes that were blocked by them back then have a mysterious and strange color. Lotus said.

This conversation went to the gate of the factory, eight electricians were bragging to Zheng Haidong, they just called from the phone in the guard room, and Lotus got out of the car and hurriedly said to go to the office. Then everyone came together, and a few of them didn't want to go up. Lotus Says:

"It's okay if they don't go, I'll hear the situation first."

When everyone arrived at the office and sat down, Lotus poured them a cup of hot tea and said:

"Drink the tea, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, here's the thing, we have a regular inspection and maintenance time for that section of the line today, and the interval is two months. Due to the previous flood and the National Day, we did not go to inspect and maintain for several months, we went to the cave to inspect according to the previous arrangement, when we walked to the hole less than 30 meters, the ground collapsed a pile of mud and sand, what quilts, clothes, straw, wood and miscellaneous things, these things look complete and turned into ashes with a stick. ”
