Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

When she learned of her mother's death, Deng Chaolu had just met Qin Yu. Deng Chaolu had nowhere to go.That day when she rushed out of the storage management office, she thought she could go to many places, but it turned out that she really had nowhere to go.In such a huge world, there is actually no place that can take her in and let her breathe.Yes, gasp.The shocking secret that was suddenly revealed overturned her world, and she was so surprised by the world that she couldn't breathe, as if she was drowning, she was eager to find a place to breathe slowly, and then figure out what happened in the world .

Deng Chaolu rushed out of the canyon in one breath.Standing at the mouth of the gorge, the sky was not yet bright, and the darkness before dawn made the entire Chuanli gorge suffocated and filled with darkness.The entire air pressure was on her body, and she couldn't stand up.Scanning the surroundings to make sure there was no one there, Deng Chaolu suddenly let go of his voice and howled into the dark night wolf. Dad, Dad, he is my dad, he really is my dad!Deng Chaolu's heart was twisted like a knife. What about mom, who is mom?Deng Chaolu shivered abruptly, and the crying stopped suddenly.

Mom is Deng Jiaying, it can't be someone else, no! She had to go to a place that could warm her and not hurt her anymore.This place can put her soul that has no place to rest, let her slow down and recover. Deng Chaolu felt that she had been drowned in a river for more than 20 years, which made her very tired.Now the river is dry, and all the hidden reefs and rolling rocks are exposed.Those sharp stones are cutting her heart sharply. She bled so much, she was dying, she couldn't live.Her young body really can't support these things, and her eyes can't see through the many absurdities, chaos, shamelessness, perdition, and sanctity in the world.Everything she thought was noble collapsed, and what she thought was sacred was covered with dirt.Darkness is everywhere, coldness strikes at any time, and her world is destroyed bit by bit.Career, family affection, and love all failed in the face of the gloomy reality.

She was in a mess, and she had nowhere to run.She has to find a clean place, she has to save herself! But where in the world is there such a place? Before dawn, Deng Chaolu took another step. She had nowhere to go, her mind was about to rot, and she still couldn't think of where to go.At this time, some faces flashed out, young Luoba, classmate Song Jiayi, and later Qin Yu. Oh, Qin Yu. Deng Chaolu ran towards the mountain, and only halfway through did she realize that it was not the direction of the mountain, but the direction of the river. She could already smell the breath of the Zamu River, the cold water, the dewdrops on the green grass, and the faint Cow dung smell.Also, there is also the smell of the moon in the water...

Deng Chaolu met Qin Yu halfway up the mountain, not only Qin Yu, but also two more people beside him, young Luoba and Song Jiayi. "I called from below. I guess you have nowhere else to go. You must still be here." Song Jiayi rushed over while talking, not shy at all.This woman who was once hurt by love and ideals, who washed her soul with a lot of confusion, has been rinsed extremely thoroughly by the river basin, which can be seen from her face. Deng Chaolu hugged Song Jiayi and cried like a child. "Don't cry, don't cry, it's a good thing, Lu, it's a good thing, why are you crying?" Song Jiayi said while patting Deng Chaolu's shoulder.

Deng Chaolu cried even louder.The reason is that when she saw Qin Yu, that handsome face was no longer there. It was dark, thin, and old. Her hair grew like a savage, and her clothes were as dirty as felt. She looked like a beggar. Still a little bookish. "Don't cry, let him see, I'm so sorry." Song Jiayi whispered into her ear, and then grinned.Deng Chaolu actually stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked at the people in front of her stupidly, as if she didn't know why she was crying just now. Naropa looked at Deng Chaolu as usual, like looking at the stars in the sky.For him, whether Deng Chaolu was crying or laughing, she was so holy and beautiful.In Naropa's view, Deng Chaolu's pain is funny, stupid, and unreliable, like sand blown by the wind.Naropa thinks the Han people are really ridiculous. They often read some things that they don’t care about or pay attention to as scriptures.The sand blown by the wind, washed away by the rain and water, is gone.It's the dirt floating on the face, the pain from scratches on the outside, it shouldn't let it hurt the soul.

"Wipe away your tears, the wind will pass and the clouds will disperse, let the sun look at you and smile." Naropa said. Deng Chaolu glanced at Luoba gratefully. He is always a potion of medicine, which can always make your heart feel at ease. No wonder Jiayi can heal your wounds here, and he can do volunteer work so passionately and passionately. "You can't live without the mountain, I know." Qin Yu couldn't just keep silent, he said with a smile, and walked over to hold Deng Chaolu's hand.Deng Chaolu still had a few disagreements, and Song Jiayi smiled again: "Whether it is inseparable from the mountain or inseparable from the people, please make it clear."

Qin Yu glared at Song Jiayi viciously, stretched out his hand, and forcibly grabbed Deng Chaolu: "Shan can understand your crying, cry, it's okay, I cry often too." These words are like a clear spring, sending Qinglingling sweetness to Deng Chaolu who is in a desperate situation.It is also strange to say, so many grievances, so many heart-piercing things, after seeing him, they are all gone, even the most painful place is no longer painful. Timidly, he handed Qin Yu his hand, lowered his head, and walked forward. Suddenly there was a desolate and sad flute sound behind him, it was the flute of the young Naropa.For countless nights, Naropa used his flute to wake up the river, the mountain, and the grassland.

But the grassland is getting less and less heard. Luoba's singing was still floating in the air, and a person suddenly ran down from the white house, stumbled and bumped into Qin Yu and the others, before he could catch his breath, he said, "It's not good, Director Deng..." Deng Jiaying is gone! Wreaths, white cloth, black tents.Tears, mourning, and endless sorrow. Deng Chaolu was a little bit better than when Lu Bo passed away. Although his eyes were full of mist and sorrow, there was still a firmness in them.In fact, this is not firmness, but a kind of strength that people gain in the face of constant disasters. This strength supports her and prevents her from falling down the moment she sees her mother's body.Old Wangtou took full responsibility this time, and arranged the funeral on Kushang.Mao Yingsheng, the deputy director of the flow control department, argued with him, but he actually scolded: "You want to seize power, you can seize it when I die someday." On the mountain, please go to the place where she worked before her death.As a result, the old Wangtou said: "She has never worked on the bank. Ask about this mountain, this dam, and that river."

The funeral was solemn and simple.A person's death is both so sad and so peaceful.It doesn't matter whether she died young or left suddenly, in short, a life is gone, she left many topics in the world, and took many topics away.While expressing regret for each other, people also comforted the living with another kind of frankness.The coming and going of life is a normal thing, there is no need to make it appear weird. Wu Tianliang came, the old secretary Liu Zhenshan's son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren all came, and the landlord Wudou's family also came.Various units in the city and some departments in the province also sent wreaths and banners.Such a scene, such a remembrance, should allow the deceased to rest in peace.

The hardest one is Miao Yulan.After the accident, Miao Yulan left in a hurry, fearing that the people in the warehouse management office would not let her go.On the way, he called Wu Tianliang again, but Wu Tianliang severely reprimanded him on the phone.Wu Tianliang made three agreements with her, first, not to appear at the funeral.Second, ask her to go back to the provincial capital immediately and report to the higher authorities.The third, and the deadliest one, is to make her think about how much she owes others in her life. Their daughter Wu Ruohan didn't pay attention to this matter at first. The dead person had nothing to do with her, so she didn't bother to pay attention.But it was soon heard that her husband, Qin Yu, accompanied Deng Chaolu, ran from the foot of the mountain to the gorge, and knelt in front of the heroic spirit of the Deng family, refusing to get up.Wu Ruohan got angry, so she immediately hailed a car, and rushed straight to the canyon with a murderous look.As a result, he met a person on the way, and the person only said a word, and Wu Ruohan went back with a guilty conscience. That man was the young Naropa. He said, you are full of filth, like a ghost, and you went to the gorge, are you afraid that the gods will take you away? Of course Wu Ruohan was afraid. The word fear suddenly jumped into Wu Ruohan's mind one morning.Before, Wu Ruohan was not afraid of this world.She feels that the world is just a toy in her hand, and she can manipulate it however she wants.Even if those things happened in France, she was not afraid, including sleeping with Nick, she was not afraid.What are you afraid of? A woman wants to sleep with a man. She likes France. In order to stay in France, she can of course take some special measures.As for so many incidents that happened later, she thought it was purely accidental, and these accidents were settled for her, so she didn't need to worry about them at all. What she was worried about was how to heal her injury well. If she couldn't heal well, she used stimulating things to numb her. This thing is white powder! But one morning, Wu Ruohan's world changed, this time it was not a joke, it was very serious.Afraid of this word, it fell from the sky for the first time and hit Wu Ruohan hard. That morning was nothing special. If there was anything different from the past, her father Wu Tianliang came back.At that time Wu Ruohan had just woken up, hadn't washed yet, her hair was disheveled, and she looked like a wild ghost.Last night I stayed up late again, went to a nightclub called "Splendid River Mountain" with Rabbit and the others to go clubbing. It was nothing more than karaoke and drinking, and then... Wu Ruohan recently became obsessed with a sport called "Slow Shake". The degree of erratic, after taking a few mouthfuls of white powder, the feeling will come up, flying through the clouds, more like Chang'e flying to the moon, I can't help myself, I have to fly.In the midst of a carnival, she jumped onto the high stage in the center of the dance floor, lifted her clothes, revealing her sexy waist and strong buttocks, twisted and twisted, her long hair was scattered into a black that was more seductive and unrestrained than a waterfall, as if poisoned, Twist the body into various twists. Wu Ruohan rocked slowly for two hours last night, and it was nearly three o'clock in the morning when she came back. She fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower.When she was going to the bathroom with her slippers on, she heard someone talking in the room: "Put on your clothes and come to the study." Wu Ruohan thought she had encountered a ghost, and few people in this room spoke, even if she was with her mother, they were probably from their own Sleep separately, no one will hinder anyone.She ignored it and continued to head towards the bathroom with her eyes closed.The voice in the room rang again: "Look at you like that, you are not human, you are not a ghost, you are so decent!" Only then did Wu Ruohan realize that it was his father, and opened his sleepy eyes: "Dad, why are you back? I thought the computer was turned off." "Why can't I come back, this is my home!" Wu Tianliang threw the bag heavily on the sofa. "You still know that this is your home, it's amazing, Dad, please stay at your home for a while." After finishing speaking, he hurried to the bathroom.When she waited for a long time to come out, she thought her father would go to sleep, but she didn't expect her father to still stand there, and when she came out, his face was darker than the bottom of the pot. Wu Ruohan wanted to sneak away quickly. "Stop!" Father's voice was deep and muffled. Wu Ruohan had no choice but to stop. "Wash your face and get dressed, and I want to talk to you," said the father again. Neuropathy!Wu Ruohan scolded in her heart, wanting to resist, or act coquettishly.There are no more than two ways for daughters to deal with their fathers, one is to act like a baby, and the other is to pretend to be angry, but in fact it is still to act like a baby.But this morning's father is different from usual, which can be seen from the motionless posture of his father standing there, and the tone of his speech, which is not usually like this.Wu Ruohan had already woken up from the alcohol, and the "white powder" in her body that made her go crazy was also taken away by her, even slow shaking and sleeping hard, and she became a normal person.The biggest disadvantage of normal people is that they can't get angry in the face of deterrence. "Go!" Wu Tianliang ordered again, Wu Ruohan, like a little prisoner, could only follow his father's instructions. Half an hour later, the father and daughter sat face to face in the living room.Wu Tianliang looked at his daughter carefully for a moment, took a sip of tea and said, "Dad wants to tell you something, which is very important to you." "Speak, I'm listening." Wu Ruohan's voice was laziness, and she expressed her inner dissatisfaction in this way. "I'm coming down." Wu Tianliang suddenly finished this sentence in a short tone, picked up the tea, and drank it slowly. Wu Ruohan didn't understand at first, it's none of her business if it doesn't come down.Seeing my father finished saying this, his expression changed even more, and his way of drinking tea was also different from usual, like a little boy who did something wrong, showing a bit of fear and timidity in the rules.Then she also looked at her father seriously, and after seeing it, Wu Ruohan saw that something was wrong, and when she smacked her father's words just now, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on her body. "Dad, what did you say, what did you just say, don't scare me, this is no joke." She jumped up from the sofa, staring at her father in horror. Wu Tianliang had already closed his eyes at this moment, and leaned his head on the back of the sofa, as if he was going through a pain. After a long while, he sat upright, coughed, and repeated: "Xiao Han, Dad, come down!" Alright, this time it's completely down." "Come down, what do you mean, it can't be..." The doll in Wu Ruohan's hand fell to the ground. "Yes!" Wu Tianliang nodded heavily, and then told his daughter a very helpless and tragic fact. Wu Tianliang was completely down. The two fights in Nanhu Village and the Qilian Group were said to be the direct cause of Wu Tianliang's loss of power and resignation.Many people complained about this, thinking that Wu Tianliang was wronged for losing power.How could he be blamed? In those two fights, the most important people to deal with were Nanhu Village Party Secretary Niu Dewang and Qilian Group Chairman Tian Yajun. How could the higher-ups attack Wu Tianliang?Wu Tianliang smiled.He didn't think he came down because he didn't handle the two mass incidents well. He should have come down long ago, even if Lu Bo and Deng Jiaying hadn't been beaten, even if there weren't so many noisy things happening in the watershed, he should have come down. Power is really a Rubik's Cube, and not everyone can handle this Rubik's Cube.Wu Tianliang felt more and more that he was far away from this era, and the distance was very great. He couldn't understand what happened in this era more and more, and even if he understood it, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. "It's a bit of a waste in my hands. Now I'll hand it back to the organization. It's becoming more and more like a strong horse. I, Wu Tianliang, can't handle it." Wu Tianliang told Vice Governor Huang Guohua. "It's not that you can't control it, it's that you haven't used it well and well." Huang Guohua said. "It's like an ax in my hand. I cut myself, and I also used it to cut down viruses, and cut down those strange-shaped trees. But in the end, I didn't cut down anything." Wu Tianliang said. "You misunderstood it, how could it be an axe, it should be a comb, used to sort out all messes." Huang Guohua was in high spirits this day, and wanted to have a serious conversation with Wu Tianliang about power and the science of power.Because his own political mission was about to come to an end, he would leave Qilian Province, leave the position of deputy governor he had just become familiar with, and work in a design institute. "Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's an ax or a comb, anyway, I can't play with it, so let someone else do it, it's really a waste in my hands." "Waste is a good word. We waste a lot of things." When Huang Guohua said this, he suddenly fell silent.He may think of his own failure, and think of many things he saw in Qilian Province in the past two years. "No, we will waste two things, conscience and responsibility!" Wu Tianliang said suddenly. The conclusion given by the province to Wu Tianliang is not bad, and he has made excellent achievements in the post of secretary of the Gushui Municipal Party Committee, which has been highly recognized by the provincial party committee and the provincial government, and also highly praised by the people of Gushui.Comrade Wu Tianliang resigned from his current post in view of the province's other appointments to Comrade Wu Tianliang. The new position waiting for him is the deputy director of a special committee of the Provincial Political Consultative Conference.Regarding this arrangement, Wu Tianliang shook his head. He handed a report to the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, saying that he didn't want to leave Gushui, so he should retire from his original post and go to the second line.After several discussions in the province, he finally agreed to his request and let him retreat to the second line in Gushui. "Dad, how could you do this? You don't even think about me. If you step back now, what should I do?" Wu Ruohan was dumbfounded. She never thought that her father would leave the stage of power one day, and she would lose her power. umbrella. "Say, what do you want me to do?" She screamed again. "Just do what you need to do, fall back to the original place, and start from scratch." "I can't do it!" Wu Ruohan shattered the cup she was holding in her hand with all her strength, and got up angrily.It's over, it's over, she's no longer the daughter of the municipal party secretary, and all the hypocrisy will go away from her, flowers, applause, flattering smiles, flattering faces, and pug-like men.She got into the bedroom and slammed the door hard. Half a day later, there was an even more thrilling sound in the room. She smashed the phone and threw something heavily on the ground. It turned out that she called Chang Jian and asked Chang Jian to accompany her. Chang Jian said, "I'm so busy that I don't have time to spare." After speaking, he pressed the phone. "They're all bastards!" In fact, it is not any one person who is asshole, it is this ever-changing world that is asshole.
