Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine

Deng Chaolu and her mother arrived at Longfeng Gorge at dusk. The car dared not go too fast for fear of bumps.Deng Jiaying's body was still in extreme danger. Although she acted tough and powerful, Deng Chaolu knew that her mother had just escaped a catastrophe, so she must not take it lightly.Not long after the car entered the canyon, Deng Jiaying stopped the car and said to her daughter, "Let the car go back, and you can walk in with me. I want to walk this way." Deng Chaolu understood her mother. Every time her mother went to the canyon, she had to walk into it. The people in the warehouse area dispatched the car and walked in cautiously with my mother.The setting sun poured down from far away in the western sky, dyeing the land yellow, and the Longshou Mountain in the north was still towering with precipitous cliffs and cluttered with rocks.The severed dragon's head looked extremely ferocious at the moment, with a murderous aura.Deng Jiaying stared at the dragon's head for a long time, lost her mind for a while, and pointed to the messy place on the top of the mountain and said to her daughter: "See, that's where the cannons were fired."

"Mom, who do you think I am? I have been to that place more than once. I forgot how you beat me when I was seven years old?" Mother relaxed.But what Deng Chaolu said was true. She had climbed all the mountains and valleys here, and there were many friends in the warehouse when she was young. Children from the two villages near the warehouse often went to the warehouse management to play.At that time, the children were wild and dared to go anywhere. The adults climbed to the top of the mountain without paying attention, and they were always scolded by their mothers for this. "Look at my brain, it's old and useless." Deng Jiaying stroked her hair, the white hair had already climbed to the top of her head, making her pale face even paler.She is indeed much older, serious illness and catastrophe, how can she not be old?

"Mom can't say she's old, she's young, she still looks like she's in her twenties." Deng Chaolu said with a forced smile. Deng Jiaying knew that his daughter was trying to make her happy, so he didn't point it out. He forced a smile and shot back at his daughter: "Nonsense, Mom didn't have you when she was in her twenties." "Then I jumped out of the cracks in the rocks." Deng Chaolu said a joke she made when she was young, but these words suddenly touched their mother and daughter. The towering dam has layers of strangeness in my heart.After a long time, Deng Jiaying said: "Let's go, you are late, your Uncle Lu is angry."

When they arrived on the dam, Qin Jizhou and Chu Ya had just turned back from the small forest, and the four met at the head of the dam. "It's you?" Qin Jizhou's eyes jumped a few times. He really didn't expect to see Deng Jiaying here. He heard from old Zhang that Deng Jiaying was broken and still in the hospital. Deng Jiaying nodded at Qin Jizhou, and slowly turned her eyes to Chuya.These two women have been enemies for most of their lives, and they hardly meet each other in the provincial capital, of course, except for that time when Chu Ya led someone to arrest her.Meeting in the gorge today, there must be a good show.

Chuya didn't expect Deng Jiaying to come so soon, but she knew that Deng Jiaying would definitely come, and as long as she had breath, she would struggle to get here.No one expected that Chu Ya suddenly took two steps forward and hugged Deng Jiaying. Before Deng Jiaying could react, Chu Ya cried out. "Why, what is this for?" Qin Jizhou was startled, with an uneasy expression flashing across his face, he was afraid that when the two met, Chu Ya would be rude to Deng Jiaying like a child, or say something nasty.Unexpectedly, she was thrown on him, crying with her head in her arms.

Crystal tears were also shining on Deng Jiaying's face, and she couldn't help but hugged Chuya. In this place where they once had a love together, the two women who had been fighting for a lifetime finally stopped fighting.Qin Jizhou watched for a long time with his eyes wide open, convinced that the two of them would not fight, he grinned and laughed out loud.Just laughed a few times, then stopped immediately, and said to Deng Chaolu who was stunned to the side: "How can we let her come, isn't she still sick, you child." In Deng Chaolu's memory, the word "children" was the first time she heard it from her tutor.She has been working with the tutor for several years, but she has never heard of such a warm title.A hot current rushed over Deng Chaolu's body, Deng Chaolu's eyes became moist, his throat was choked up, and he couldn't speak.

"Look, look, look, what's going on with you, put away your tears and make people laugh." This sentence is probably the most humane sentence that Chuya has heard from her husband in her life. She let go of Deng Jiaying and asked, "Have you lost your way, go to the room and drink some water." After finishing speaking, she turned to Deng Chaolu , stared at it for three minutes, then stretched out her hand: "Come here, let auntie touch your face." When she really hugged Deng Chaolu in her arms, Chu Ya's tears could no longer be stopped. Tears of repentance are tears of guilt from an elder.

Child, Auntie is sorry for you——Chuya cried and said this over and over again in her heart. Deng Chaolu enjoyed something she had never enjoyed before, and burst into tears along with it. Qin Jizhou was really moved by the scene that day.Qin Jizhou, who was a scholar but a fool, couldn't figure out where his wife Chu Ya's abnormality came from today. got windy.The wind blows from the mouth of the gorge, roaring and roaring, wrapped in dust, and also wrapped in layers of coolness.The late autumn in the canyon was colder than other places. Chu Ya was already wearing a sweater, but Deng Jiaying was still wearing summer clothes.Chu Ya didn't dare to be sloppy, and urged the two of them to walk down the embankment.

When Deng Jiaying came here, she would inevitably cry a few times.In the tomb at the foot of the mountain, her father, Deng Yuansen, Uncle Wudou, who stabbed her with a beard when she was young, is buried, the old secretary is buried, and many people who died because of the reservoir are buried.The wild grass is luxuriant, but in Deng Jiaying's eyes, it is like another home, and there is warmth whenever you come.Now there is another Lubo, this mountain, this gorge, this piece of land, this dam is her sad place. Why can't she escape this place? Cried, hurt, wiped away the tears, and actually discussed the watershed with Qin Jizhou.

"The old road was taken for the river basin, and he should not be allowed to go in vain. The matter of the river basin needs to be discussed." "You mean being beaten?" Qin Jizhou asked cautiously. "Look at you, where are you going? Although I am a woman, my level is not so low. I'm talking about the Qilian Group, and I can't let them go." Unexpectedly, Qin Jizhou said: "One yard is equal to one yard. The matter of pollution will be discussed later. The one to be investigated now is beating people. The old way can't be done in vain, and you can't do it in vain. I'll go to Wu Tianliang for this matter!"

"You, you still hold grudges. What's the use of finding him? I heard people said that this time he was tricked too. The top blames him, and the bottom hates him. It's difficult for him to be an official." What Deng Jiaying said was true. These words were told to her by her daughter Deng Chaolu on the way here. During those days when she was unconscious, Wu Tianliang came here twice, and when he came, he would scold people, the doctor, the nurse, and the person sent by the city to take care of Deng Jiaying. Those cadres, including the secretary Zhou Yabin, also made him scold him.The worst time was that Mao Yingsheng, deputy director of the flushing pipe department, dropped the cup.Deng Chaolu felt something was wrong, Wu Tianliang had never been so angry before, although he had bad temper before, but in front of her, he was still very restrained.Deng Chaolu quietly asked Zhou Yabin, what happened to the secretary, why did he look like he had taken explosives?Zhou Yabin said that it was not he who ate the explosives, but someone else forced the secretary to feed the explosives.After further questioning, I learned that Wu Tianliang had encountered a hurdle, the biggest hurdle since he entered politics. "I'm afraid this time, the secretary won't be able to handle it." Secretary Zhou Yabin shook his head and smiled wryly. The two violent beating incidents that occurred in Nanhu and Qilian Group were originally things that were easy to find out. The truth is there, and there is almost no need to investigate.However, the truth is subject to change.Wu Tianliang ignored the backgrounds of the two people, Niu Dewang, secretary of Nanhu Village, and Tian Yajun, chairman of Qilian Group.Some energies are very abnormal. Wu Tianliang, who has worked hard in the officialdom for decades, should understand this principle. He should understand that in addition to positive energy, there is also anti-energy. Sometimes, anti-energy has a greater effect.Unfortunately, this time, he forgot. Niu Dewang, the party secretary of Nanhu Village, is proud of his life because he did one thing right in a special time, when he saved the old secretary Liu Zhenshan.At the later stage of the movement, the old secretary Liu Zhenshan was also pulled out, and it was Ma Yongqian, director of the Revolutionary Committee, who seized power.Just when Ma Yongqian tried to bring Liu Zhenshan to another reservoir construction site to criticize, Niu Dewang stood up and said that he would hand over this "capitalist roader" and "royalist" to him, and let him accept the supervision and criticism of the revolutionary masses in Nanhu Village .Ma Yongqian was all about seizing power, and he didn't want Liu Zhenshan to endanger his future, so he handed Liu Zhenshan over to Niu Dewang.Niu Dewang brought Liu Zhenshan to Nanhu. On the surface, he was strictly guarded and punished everywhere, but he secretly took care of him behind his back.It can be said that without Niu Dewang back then, Liu Zhenshan would not have survived those days.After the campaign ended, Liu Zhenshan came back to serve as secretary of the Gushui District Committee, and he took too much care of Niu Dewang's family.Niu Dewang is not like the original Niu Dewang, he has become the emperor of Nanhu Village.Niu Dewang's eldest son works in the province, his second son works in a large state-owned enterprise, and his daughter works in the county women's federation. These are the foundations laid by Liu Zhenshan back then, and they are the rewards given to him by the old secretary.But Niu Dewang's daughter's marriage was not going well. She failed to get married twice and got divorced. When she discussed marriage with a county leader for the third time, she was blocked by the leader's wife on the bed. Fa stayed in Shahu, but was transferred to other places through connections. Niu Dewang's daughter became a corrupt person in people's eyes. She has never married and lived alone. In Gushui, no one dared to say no to Niu Dewang. Everyone from city cadres to ordinary people knew that Niu Dewang was a well-established person who had done great things.Niu Dewang himself also believes that the foundation is strong.His son once worked as a secretary for a certain leader in the province. The leader appreciated him and sent him to the real power department in advance. He is still a relatively prominent figure now.Although the daughter has an unfortunate marriage, she has a wide range of relationships, and she dares to wipe tears in front of any leader.Women's tears are weapons that can conquer many hills.In addition, she is naturally flirtatious, not only beautiful, but also very coquettish, like a phoenix flying out of a sandy nest.With this dragon and one phoenix, Niu Dewang is afraid of nothing, he is not afraid of anything. On the day Deng Jiaying was beaten, Wu Tianliang "invited" Niu Dewang to the municipal party committee. Lose Wu Tianliang for an hour.After answering the phone call, when Wu Tianliang looked at Niu Dewang again, he couldn't speak, and finally shrugged and said helplessly: "I said Secretary Niu, this matter, this matter is too out of line .” Niu Dewang looked back at Wu Tianliang, laughed a few times, and said unhurriedly: "Isn't it just medical expenses? I'll let the village pay for it." "Medical expenses?" Wu Tianliang was about to burst into tears. What else could he say when he met such a person? Wu Tianliang not only has nothing to do with Niu Dewang, but also has nothing to do with the Qilian Group.On the way here, Deng Chaolu said to her mother: "Uncle Wu is also in a difficult situation. According to Yabin, the higher authorities may not let him do it." "It's better if you don't let me do it!" Deng Jiaying said angrily. She was not angry with Wu Tianliang. She knew Wu Tianliang's situation best. After all, she was wearing an official hat on her head. What happened to Gu Shui these years Strange and absurd things, she may feel more deeply than others.It's really not easy for a person to do something good in his seat, something that benefits the country and the people. After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Who did you just talk about? It's Yabin, you two?" How far is it now?" "Mom!" Deng Jiaying's words caused her daughter to scold her, but she still told her truthfully that Zhou Yabin and Zhou Yabin could only be friends, and there was really no way to develop anything else. "Mom, don't worry, my daughter will take care of her own marriage. My daughter only wants her to live a long and healthy life, and she will take care of her grandson when the time comes." This is the most daring sentence Deng Chaolu said to her mother. This bold and infinitely blessed sentence swept away the dark clouds in Deng Jiaying's heart at once. She said excitedly like a child: "Mom, mother brings , Mom can't wait to hug her little grandson now." Deng Jiaying picked the key points and told Qin Jizhou what her daughter told her. Of course, she would not say what her daughter said later, especially about her daughter's search for a partner.I thought Qin Jizhou would make strange noises when he heard it, but he didn't expect Qin Jizhou to say: "I've heard everything you said, but he can't just bear it like this. No matter what, I have to seek justice for you, that bastard!" Wang, that's too domineering, when I went to Nanhu, he let a group of young people kick me out." "Niu Dewang bombarded you?" This is new, Deng Jiaying has never heard of it. "It's not him, it's a group of young people who scold me, it hurts." Qin Jizhou's face darkened suddenly. "What did you scold you for?" "What else can you scold? Disaster for the country and the people. They scold me for disaster for the country and the people." "So serious?" Deng Jiaying wanted to laugh, but couldn't, the expression on his face gradually darkened and became cold due to Qin Jizhou's excitement. "The meaning is almost the same. The watershed has become like this. They put all the responsibility on me." "It's because you think too much. It's not anyone's responsibility, and no one can take this responsibility." "Jiaying, tell me, am I really useless in my life? These days I'm thinking, when I built the reservoir, I didn't say anything right?" Qin Jizhou suddenly became like a child.He was always stubborn, but now he was in a panic. "It's not right!" Deng Jiaying looked at him and said. Qin Jizhou groaned, lowered his head, and his face became ashen again.Deng Jiaying was joking at first, and only said it when he saw him looking crazy and stupid, but Qin Jizhou didn't expect that Qin Jizhou didn't say anything at all now, and couldn't bear the slight emphasis of his words, so he hurriedly changed his channel: "You, how many years have passed since the incident, What are you still struggling with, what can be right and what can be wrong, look forward, don't always worry about the past." Seeing that Qin Jizhou was touched, he said again: "Old Qin, we don't have much time left. , Don’t waste time on meaningless things, you have to work together and sincerely do something for the watershed.” "What can be done, what else can be done?" Qin Jizhou said more and more anxiously, he looked very conflicted, obviously the knot in his heart hadn't been untied yet.Deng Jiaying was in a hurry. Lao Qin had been on the edge of a dead end all his life, and it was difficult to get out after getting in.She took out a document, which she privately told her deputy Mao Yingsheng to sort out before she went to Nanhu Lake. It was a proposal report on fully promoting a "water-saving society".Watershed governance must be a systematic project, and the whole society must be mobilized to act. For so many years, we have talked about river basin governance, and it is very important to talk about it a lot, but in reality, it is not systematic. There is no long-term goal and no long-term planning. A large project related to future generations is regarded as a political task. Many things are done in response to the situation and to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors.Deng Jiaying believes that the only way and method to reverse the current passive situation is for the whole society to unite as one, truly recognize the crisis, start small, change the traditional way of life and production, and start from scratch, so that the injured basin Only by getting a respite can the lost vegetation and water sources be slowly restored, and only then can glaciers become glaciers and snow-capped mountains become snow-capped mountains. water-saving society.What Deng Jiaying proposed is to build a new social form and establish a new awareness of water use.First build an idea, an idea, and then let the idea change people's ideas and regulate people's behavior. "It's good, but it's too ideal, and there's not enough time." Qin Jizhou sighed after reading it. "Old Qin, there is no need to rush this matter. How can it be resolved in three or two days? Do you believe this?" Deng Jiaying asked back. "I don't believe it." Qin Jizhou replied firmly this time. Deng Jiaying responded with a smile and said: "That's right, so now we have the responsibility to let them stop, think clearly before taking action, otherwise, one order today, one document tomorrow, not only will the watershed be unable to be governed, but will add more to it. What a mess." "It's very chaotic now. I object to transferring water from upstream reservoirs. They don't listen, and they insist on transferring. Just that little water, if you transfer it back and forth, there will be more? Isn't it because the leaders can see that there is water in the desert reservoir, but They are passionate about this." Once Qin Jizhou opened his chatter box, he couldn't close it, and he became excited again as he talked, and finally pointed the finger at Wu Tianliang, and his words became more and more mean: "If I, Qin Jizhou, are a sinner, he, Wu Tianliang, is even more so. sinner!" "No one treats you as sinners, Lao Qin, don't be so extreme, okay!" Deng Jiaying suddenly raised her voice.At this time, she was disappointed with Qin Jizhou. This time, she wanted to have a serious talk with Qin Jizhou. She knew how long her life was left, and it was really only a few days, so she had some thoughts, some thoughts, and had to Hurry up and tell them, tell the people who are still alive.I have accomplished nothing in my life, and I have failed to do many things that can be done well. Now God will not give her a chance, but she doesn't want to take her regrets away, she doesn't want to.But Qin Jizhou was always talking about useless things, she was anxious, the other heart was filled with disappointment, she wondered if she thought too highly of Qin Jizhou, this man who ruled her spiritually all her life, In the end, can he save her once and let her leave this world without regret?
