Chapter 512: The Beauty of the Countryside

    

supported them already. 。"Why did he suddenly call again, asking me to release himHe must have been under pressure!Xu Changyun recalled that after arresting Zhou Muyun, Xiao Zheng had told him, “‘Sett...A group of people in three vehicles had already set off on their journey to Baokuang Village, Haitou City. 。The gravel road was rough to drive on, slow made people anxious, fast one bumpy, everyone's head almost hit the car roof! The lightning that was like a phoenix and a dragon before, had already disappeared from sight at this time, as if it had never appeared. 。The night remained, and the chill was pervasive, but the car was heading home. 。This is Jiang Xiaohui's journey home, and it is also everyone's journey home. Without everyone's support, how could Jiang Xiaohui's journey home be possible Jiang Xiaohui's heart was full of gratitude. Tonight, she must have her family prepare a pot of warm mutton soup to warm everyone up!

Before getting on the car, Xiao Zheng and Fang Ya had already exchanged glances. 。Just now, that awe-inspiring bolt of lightning, wasn't it the same kind of lightning reported in newspapers This once again proves that they didn't come to the affluent and comfortable Helan Mountains, but rather this impoverished and rugged Liupanshan Mountain. They chose right!

Just now, after getting back in the car, Jiang Xiaohui wanted to sit beside Xiao Zheng again, but Ma Kai jumped ahead and sat in the seat next to Xiao Zheng. 。Jiang Xiaohui had no choice but to sit in the empty spot, feeling embarrassed to ask Ma Kai to give up his place. 。After the carriage traveled for a while, Ma Kai turned his head and asked, "Brother, did you see that dragon-and-phoenix lightning just now" It turned out that Ma Kai wanted to talk about the lightning with him, which is why he sat beside him. 。Xiao Zheng calmly said, “Of course I saw it, everyone saw it!”

“Hmm!” Ma Kai thoughtfully said, “I always feel that today’s lightning is a kind of omen, very strange, as if it is warning us about something” 。"What do you think" Xiao Zheng's heart skipped a beat. Could Ma Kai know that the lightning bolt was related to him, Xiao Zheng, and Fang Ya That's why he came to ask him But the problem is, Xiao Zheng and Fang Ya hadn't told anyone about the dragon-shaped and phoenix-shaped lightning. How could Ma Kai have guessed

Xiao Zheng still said calmly: "It is a bit strange, but what it foretells, I don't know" 。"Ma Kai leaned closer to Xiao Zheng and said, "Doesn't this foreshadow something happening between me and Wang Lan"

Xiao Zheng was startled. "You and Wang Lan" Ma Kai nodded solemnly. "Yeah, think about it, in the lightning vision just now, there were phoenixes and dragons, don't these symbolize me and Wang Lan Dragon and Phoenix auspicious, one dragon paired with one phoenix, in our carriage, we are the only pair, right"

Xiao Zheng remained noncommittal. 。Ma Kai just looked at him and asked, "Could it be that you are also a pair with someone else" Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "No, no" 。Ma Kai nodded and said, "That's right." 。"So, that dragon and phoenix lightning just now must be a sign that something's going to happen between me and Wang Lan!" Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Well then, let me offer my congratulations in advance." 。"The county magistrate of Xiao is a good brother." 。Ma Kai was very happy, as if he had solved a worry. He patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder and said, "I'm going to take a nap first." 。"Xiao Zheng said, 'You rest. I'll call you when it's time.'" 。"Ma Kai said: 'If I could just have a good meal when I wake up.'" 。But that might be me overthinking things. Jiang Xiaohui's hometown village is a poverty-stricken village, it's estimated that even eating enough is difficult. 。"Xiao Zheng smiled and said, “You usually eat well, your stomach is a little oily. These two days, you can only make do." 。"Ma Kai sighed, "I guess that's all we can do." 。"Ma Kai actually fell asleep leaning against something, and even started snoring." 。

The car continued to drive on the bumpy road, and luckily, it didn't wander off aimlessly again. 。After driving for another two hours or so, a dilapidated wooden sign appeared by the roadside, reading "Baokuang Village". 。 。"My home is here! Master, please let me get off."

The driver opened the car door, and Jiang Xiaohui excitedly jumped out. 。Xiao Zheng also wanted to find out what was going on, so he got out of the car. 。Officer Xu and another officer had already gotten out of the car. 。Next to the sign “Baokuang Village” is a small path leading to a hill. 。But over there it was dark and gloomy, you couldn't see anything. 。

Officer Xu asked with some confusion, "Director Jiang, is that your hometown" Jiang Xiaohui glanced at the road sign and then at the indistinct mountain peaks in the distance, confidently saying, "Yes, that's my hometown, that's 'Baokuang Village'." 。Officer Xu said in a more puzzled tone, "Why is there no light over there Don't you have electricity here" Jiang Xiaohui shook her head and said, "That's not possible. When I was in high school, we already had electricity." 。"Xiao Zheng also found it strange: "From here, there are no lights on the road. How come there don't seem to be any lights in the village" Jiang Xiaohui said, "Our village is on the other side of that hill..." 。If we turn around, we might see it. 。Jiang Xiaohui had previously called her elder sister, who lived in the same village. 。Xiao Zheng also said, "Officer Xu, let's go further ahead and take a look!" Officer Xu nodded and said, "Okay" 。Then, everyone got back on the bus and headed towards Tushanbao. 。This dirt road must have gotten even worse. The business car swayed like a boat as it drove forward. 。After passing the dirt road, everyone looked forward to seeing lights, even if it wasn't a myriad of houses illuminated, just a lamp or two would offer solace to those weary from travel. 。Having passed the earthen mound, it was a despondent light that could not be seen. 。。The police cars ahead had also stopped, and Officer Xu and his colleagues got out of their vehicles, once again disappearing into the cold night. 。He said, “This is as far as the car can go.” 。We can't go any further forward. 。"Everyone could only walk, the problem was that the village ahead was pitch black. Was there anyone there at all" The people in the business van and the Audi, filled with merchants, also got out of their cars. 。Look ahead to the village, silent and still. 。Jiang Xiaohui's heart was also a little flustered, and all sorts of ominous thoughts popped into her mind. 。Xiao Zheng said: "No matter what, we've already reached Xiaohui's grandmother's village entrance. We definitely have to go into the village and take a look." 。"Chief Gu also calmly said: "That's right, since we're already here, we have to go into the village and take a look." 。"Fang Ya, however, remained unfazed: "Maybe it's because the villagers go to bed early! Let's go and see for ourselves." 。In the glow of the car's headlights, Fang Ya's slender figure walked forward, and everyone followed her. 。Xiao Zheng thought to himself, Fang Ya was really so nonchalant about everything! Xiao Zheng couldn't help but sigh, Fang Ya was the most carefree woman he had ever met!

Officer Xu worried that there was something strange about this village, so he said to the two police officers beside him: "You guys stay behind!" He took a few quick steps and ran ahead of Fang Ya. 。Jiang Xiaohui, being in her own village, was very curious about what had happened and rushed to the front. 。Others follow behind. 。This dirt road is too narrow, only two people can walk abreast. 。The village was still pitch black and eerily silent, giving everyone a creepy feeling that made their throats tighten and hearts pound. 。At the village entrance, there was a dirt wall. 。Behind the earthen wall, a few shadowy figures were crouching there! They didn't make a sound. 。Jiang Xiaohui, Officer Xu, and the others naturally didn't know that there was an "ambush" here. They continued to walk forward, their scalps tingling, and they were about to reach the village entrance. 。"They're back!" was the excited cry of a child. 。Jiang Xiaohui, Xiao Zheng, Gu Zuozhang, Fang Ya and others were all startled. 。Then, the lights in a few houses at the village entrance came on. 。Then, a voice shouted again, "They're back!" It was the cry of grown men and women. 。Then, another batch of lights came on. 。Then, another cry of "They're back!" This was the voice of an older person. The lights in the village began to flicker on… and so it went, five or six times, until all the lights in this small village were lit. 。It's not "a thousand homes with lights," but the warmest fire and light show in the desert. 。The most touching moments in life are reunions after a long separation, help during times of need, and seeing lights flicker to life on a dark night. 。Jiang Xiaohui couldn't help but tear up. She said to those around her: “This is the most grand welcome ceremony in our village, lighting up every household to welcome guests from afar!” Xiao Zheng was also moved. 。Ma Kai said, “But this gimmick is a bit frightening!” Xu officer said, “It’s fine if nothing happens in the village!” Gu team leader said, “Come on, let's go see your parents” 。The crowd walked towards the village. 。At the village entrance, a crowd of people had already gathered, and others came out from the village to greet them. 。Jiang Xiaohui saw her parents and rushed over to hug them. 。Standing beside her was an elderly man, his white beard flowing and thin frame clad in roughspun cloth. He was being supported by Jiang Xiaohui's sister. 。<

Jiang Xiaohui saw this and cried out, "Old Village Chief," then knelt down before him and kowtowed. >> 。The old village head was busy trying to help Jiang Xiaohui up, saying in his mouth, "How could this be" 。Xiaohui, you're a national cadre now! 。As an old man, how could I possibly bear your kowtowing 。“" 。It's been years since I last visited you, don't blame me for that. 。Jiang Xiaohui insisted on kowtowing three times. 。Xiao Zheng saw this and felt a myriad of emotions. 。In An County, the custom of younger generations kowtowing to elders has long since disappeared, yet in this impoverished village, it is still preserved. 。On Jiang Xiaohui, this is not a bad habit, but gratitude. 。When Jiang Xiaohui came, the old village head's face broke into a smile again, his eyes brimming with tears: "Xiaohui, how could I blame you! For these seven years, even though you haven't come back, you sent all your money back. It went to help children in the village who couldn't afford to go to school." 。"This is a tremendous boon for our entire village! Why would I blame you Our whole village hasn't expressed enough gratitude to you yet!"

Only then did Xiao Zheng fully understand why Jiang Xiaohui was so frugal. 。Because she sent all the money back to repay the village and use it for poor children in the village to go to school. 。Jiang Xiaohui wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said with a smile, "This is all I should do. " 。Without the help of the villagers, I wouldn't be where I am today. 。“The old village head smiled and said, “Xiao Hui, this is like the saying ‘a drop of water repaid by a spring.’ Our Baomin Village has produced such a wonderful girl as you. You are our pride and our blessing! Oh, by the way, these must be your friends, right Quickly tell them to go to the public room. The villagers have prepared mutton and lamb soup for them!”ell too much on this topic either. He thought it best to wait for the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to announce the results of their investigation. So, he changed the subject...
