Chapter 21 Chapter 21

The personnel reform of the Department of Agriculture where Fan Zhengzhang works has started vigorously.The first batch of competitive positions starts at the department level.After the leaders of the department inspected the reform of several provincial departments and bureaus, and after many discussions at the department affairs meeting, they finally drafted the first batch of department-level positions.The departments at the departmental level were merged and abolished, and finally 30 posts were appointed.Fan Zhengzhang's farm and Yuxiang Dairy were formally merged into Yuxiang Dairy Company. The farm, as the agricultural base of Yuxiang Dairy, became an affiliated farm of Yuxiang Dairy.Fan Zhengzhang was very happy with this result.Because of the original rumor that Yuxiang Dairy was independent, the legend that Fang Yifei would be the leader of Yuxiang Dairy has been proven.For Fan Zhengzhang, whether it is the farm or Yuxiang Dairy, he has been in the top position for several years and has achieved outstanding results. Therefore, no matter who is in charge of the farm and Yuxiang Dairy, he will be the leader of these two departments. .In this regard, Fan Zhengzhang is very optimistic.Unless Yuxiang Dairy goes out independently, if the leader arranges for him to remain as the farm manager, then it may become unpredictable who will get Yuxiang Dairy.But this situation is no longer the case, so Fan Zhengzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief after two months of tension.

Next, after easily filling out the competitive position—general manager of Yuxiang Dairy Company, he plunged into the market expansion and scale expansion of dairy products with confidence.According to his plan, he decided to launch two more production lines within two years, and expand the market into several surrounding provinces and cities, making Yuxiang dairy products among the top three dairy products in North China.In order to realize this grand plan, his initial plan is to expand the milk source first. In addition to increasing the number of dairy cows on the basis of the original farms, he will cultivate more dairy farmers in the surrounding countryside to ensure the milk source after the Yuxiang dairy production line is increased. supply.

Under his personal supervision and planning, this first step was quickly implemented.Next, he started to further expand the Yuxiang dairy market brand.At this moment, an incident of fake dairy products drinking big-headed dolls swept the national dairy market.In the vicinity of Huayang City, such a case also appeared.Fortunately, Fan Zhengzhang learned of the news through relevant channels after a reporter had just grasped the clue.What frightened Fan Zhengzhang was that the milk product involved in this big-headed doll turned out to be Yuxiang dairy product. In fact, before the establishment of Yuxiang Dairy, the farm had been producing a kind of milk powder half-deadly.After the Yuxiang dairy production line was officially put into operation, the company has developed several milk powders suitable for the human body for some fringe areas where fresh milk is difficult to reach, including middle-aged and elderly high-calcium milk powder, infant growth milk powder, juvenile wisdom milk powder and so on.And this big-headed doll incident involved infant milk powder for growing up.

This news was learned by a deputy editor-in-chief of Fan Zhengwen through a reporter.When Fan Zhengzhang understood the incident, he froze there as if a catastrophe was imminent.Almost at the same time, a thought came into his mind, it was over now, Yuxiang Dairy was over. There are too many such examples.Once a brand of food has quality problems, especially if it is exposed by the media, it is almost equal to the death of the brand.A few years ago, the time-honored Laosan meatloaf chain store not only blossomed all over the country, but also its special meatloaf and meat are also retailed very well in many supermarkets.Because meat pie franchise stores in some areas violated store regulations and added ingredients harmful to human health in the production process, and were exposed by the media of a certain province, people in other places also had extreme distrust of the chain store.Even Huayang's health supervision department and food inspection department had to rush to the local chain store at the request of the people to test its processing process and materials used.Although the results were different from what was reported by the media in other provinces at first, that is to say, Huayang’s meatloaf did not actually find any harmful ingredients, but in the end these chain stores still had a slow business due to the increase in people’s suspicion. And close the door.In fact, this incident was nothing more than a private behavior of individual chain stores that violated the rules of the time-honored Laosan Meat Pie Shop during the operation process, but in the end it implicated the reputation of other formally operated chain stores across the country.From then on, the old third meat pie, which was loved by the people, began to be eliminated.A month or so later, chain stores in many provinces went out of business one after another, and supermarkets, fearing to avoid it, stopped selling any food from the third store.Even the out-and-out authentic and time-honored Laosan Bakery was left out in the cold, and it was hard to escape bad luck.A brand just fell down like this.

This is the fact, and the market has proved it with countless examples: the establishment of a brand needs years of hard work, but its decline is often very fragile and rapid.Right now, when the big-headed doll incident first started, Zhengguang Dairy, which occupied a quarter of the dairy market in Huayang, appeared because of counterfeit Zhengguang Dairy products, which caused the Zhengguang Dairy to be unsalable. Within half a month, Zhengguang Dairy was almost sold out. Squeeze out the tragedy of the supermarket.When Fan Zhengzhang thought of this, he suddenly felt his heart twitch. He quickly called Han Zhifeng and Zhang Dazhao to report the situation urgently.After Han Zhifeng heard this, she almost sweated profusely. She raised her eyebrows and kept yelling: Find a way, or it will be too late.

Fan Zhengzhang's mind went blank, and he didn't understand how his dairy products produced big-headed dolls. Due to the urgency of the matter, the news should not be spread. Fan Zhengzhang decided not to expand the scope of knowledge about this matter.After an hour of discussion, Fan Zhengzhang, Han Zhifeng and the director of the Party Committee Zhang Dazhao finally made an initial action plan for the big-headed doll incident: First, Zhang Dazhao quietly searched for the reporters who had clues about the big-headed doll, tried to find out the ins and outs of the incident, and coordinated. In any case, the incident should not be published in the newspaper, or the insiders should not be expanded again.

Second, Han Zhifeng will investigate the big-headed doll incident from the side to find out whether the dairy products eaten by the owner of the incident are really Yuxiang dairy products.At the same time, they came forward to negotiate with the families of the victims, no matter whether it was caused by real Yuxiang dairy products or counterfeit Yuxiang dairy products, they must not be publicized, and strive to resolve the incident in private as soon as possible.Even if it is a counterfeit Yuxiang dairy product, we will pursue it privately after the matter is resolved. Thirdly, Fan Zhengzhang went to the Provincial Dairy Association to find out the bottom line, trying to find out the incident from above and cover it up in time.At the same time, build a good relationship with the Quality Inspection Bureau and understand the samples taken by the Bureau in the event.If it is really Yuxiang dairy products, then try to make it a counterfeit product; if it is a counterfeit product, try to have the Quality Inspection Bureau issue a report on the quality of Yuxiang dairy products.The biggest job in this process is keeping things under the covers.All matters related to accountability must be conducted in private.

For the second article, Han Zhifeng initially expressed strong opposition.She believes that if someone is found to be counterfeiting Yuxiang Dairy, they should immediately resort to legal means to punish the murderer and restore Yuxiang Dairy's innocence.Fan Zhengzhang and Zhang Dazhao firmly opposed it.The reason is that if things get serious and the outside world learns that there are counterfeit Yuxiang dairy products on the market, then the real Yuxiang dairy products will be in disaster.Regardless of whether the big-headed baby is caused by real Yuxiang dairy products or fake Yuxiang dairy products, consumers will have doubts about Yuxiang dairy products.Because they can't tell the real from the fake in the market.This is just like the time-honored old third meat pie incident.After a while of debate, Han Zhifeng finally conceded, saying that the next activities will be carried out according to Fan Zhengzhang's ideas.

After the meeting, the three immediately went into emergency operation.A few days later, the three of them met again to report the situation, and things had already begun.In Zhang Dazhao's first job, the reporter has been found and secured, and the media boss has agreed to postpone the report.During this process, Zhang Dazhao found Fan Zhengwen according to Fan Zhengzhang's instructions.Although Fan Zhengwen's seat was in jeopardy, he still spared no effort in making arrangements for this matter.Han Zhifeng's investigation into the authenticity of dairy products that led to the disaster of the big-headed doll has also come to light.According to investigation, the dairy product is a counterfeit Yuxiang dairy product produced by a private dairy product processing factory in the outskirts of the city.So far, the victim's family has accepted Han Zhifeng's apology and comfort, saying that as long as Han Zhifeng helps them catch the real murderer, they will not expand the incident.He didn't raise any objection to the 100,000 yuan comfort money that Han Zhifeng promised.As for Fan Zhengzhang, in the activities of the dairy association, all the main members of the association have been on his side.Of course, this is an act of maintaining the brand in the province and clearing the way for the expansion of the brand in the province. The Dairy Association should say that it is duty-bound.As for the Quality Inspection Bureau, under Fan Zhengzhang's activities, it is proceeding according to Fan Zhengzhang's ideas.

The matter finally came to fruition: the counterfeit Yuxiang dairy that caused the big-headed doll incident has been banned and sealed up without anyone noticing, and the person responsible is waiting for punishment; the family members of the accident victim received comfort from Yuxiang dairy and compensation for the counterfeit dairy quietly. back home.In the midst of their responsibility to protect local brands and support the hometown economy, the media also quietly smoothed over this matter.Everything is done airtight and drip-proof.After more than 20 days, the incident of fake Yuxiang dairy products causing big-headed dolls finally disappeared without a trace in the warmer spring wind and with the last ray of cold air from the previous winter.In this season when everything grows, when the big-headed doll incidents around the country are springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, Huayang's Yuxiang dairy products are in full bloom, like the gorgeous peach tree at the gate of Fan Zhengzhang's farm, and are blooming to Huayang's land and The refreshing milk fragrance is constantly spreading around.Millions of people in Huayang, as well as some senior leaders, never imagined that in this season, the Yuxiang milk they drank every day had such a thrilling adventure, and it almost became a piece of history in their memory. Of course, I don't even know why the white hair on Fan Zhengzhang, the founder of Yuxiang, suddenly increased so much.Only Fan Zhengzhang, Han Zhifeng and Zhang Dazhao knew what kind of test their Yuxiang had gone through, what kind of torture their bodies and minds had gone through, and what price they had paid for their Yuxiang—a total of 400,000 yuan was spent. !

While Fan Zhengzhang was busy with the big-headed doll incident caused by counterfeit Yuxiang dairy products, the reform wheels of the Department of Agriculture were started with great fanfare.During this process, Fan Zhengzhang neither had time to inquire about relevant news, nor was he interested in caring about the status of the declarations for the appointed division-level positions.Because he is too optimistic, he thinks that no one but himself is qualified to be the general manager of Yuxiang, which he established by himself, and no one will have the idea of ​​taking Yuxiang away from him. Of course, he believes that the leaders will not take him away. The created tulips are handed over to others.Based on this belief, after the big-headed doll incident ended, even when he heard that the general manager of Yuxiang Dairy Company had three people applying for the position, including Fang Yifei, he still didn't worry too much. The reason why he is so relieved is that he has good reasons.Just like what Han Zhifeng analyzed together with him: Fang Yifei is a womanizer, and obviously does not have an advantage in managing Yuxiang, who is creating a market.These include her education, experience, courage, achievements, etc., which cannot be compared with Fan Zhengzhang.Fan Zhengzhang majored in economic management. After working, a large number of papers on economic reform, agricultural development, and farm management were published in national core journals. He has gained a certain reputation and influence in this circle.Especially after Yuxiang Dairy was put into production, he combined his practical experience and wrote a large number of articles on the development of the dairy industry, becoming a famous entrepreneur and scholar in the development of the dairy industry.Coupled with the achievements of Yuxiang Dairy in recent years and the various honors brought by it, it has become a strong backing for him to compete for this position.As for Fang Yifei, who graduated from a normal school and was a primary school teacher, the work on the farm in the past few years has not been particularly outstanding. How can he compare with Fan Zhengzhang?The other applicant, Hao Jian, had only been the deputy director of the Agriculture Department of the department for two years, and he even joined in the fun.Therefore, no matter he, Fan Zhengzhang, Han Zhifeng, or his other deputy directors, have no doubt about Fan Zhengzhang's competitive strength.Therefore, when Jiang Deshi sneaked into his dormitory like a burglar on a weekend night, carrying two bottles of wine and high-end cigarettes, and offered to help him with this job, he refused without thinking. Jiang Deshi's face was thin and haggard, it seemed that he had struggled for a period of time.This expression once softened Fan Zhengzhang's heart.But when Jiang Deshi put forward his suggestion—to get rid of Fang Yifei, who is the most competitive with him, first, and then get his votes counted, his heart suddenly became inexplicably angry.This reminded him of Jiang Deshi's harsh methods when he came to the farm.Regarding that incident, Fan Zhengzhang feels short of breath and ashamed every time he thinks about it. Fan Zhengzhang had a gloomy face, and Jiang Deshi, who was always smart, was blinded by profit, which led to a wrong judgment: he thought that Fan Zhengzhang's silence was thinking, or even acquiescing.So he said that he had already figured out a way to get rid of Fang Yifei, which was to use the most common means of poaching people in the organization - the issue of life style, to make this woman bad. Fan Zhengzhang kept holding back his anger and told himself repeatedly that from now on, especially now, he should not offend this villain again.Therefore, he has been silently listening to Jiang Deshi's plan until he heard that Jiang Deshi brazenly asked Fan Zhengzhang to find a way to bring him in again after taking this position, or find him an errand related to Yuxiang. Zhengzhang finally became unbearably angry.He walked out from behind the desk, walked past Jiang Deshi, walked to the door, pushed open the office door, and said in a low and stern voice: Jiang Deshi, I will tell you three points now: first, this is impossible; second, this is impossible; third, it is still impossible! Jiang Deshi's yellow face suddenly turned blue, he put down the cup in embarrassment, and squeezed past Fan Zhengzhang.When passing by Fan Zhengzhang's side, Fan Zhengzhang gave him a glaring look, which made Jiang Deshi's tall and thin body look like it was cut off suddenly, and became shorter. Jiang Deshi walked away disheartened, apart from leaving Fan Zhengzhang with nausea for a few days, there was a tingle of worry in his heart.However, this was just a small episode after all, and it was only a small wave in his heart.When this worry became weaker and weaker with the turmoil in spring, Fan Zhengzhang's heart was already encouraged by Yu Xiang's new blueprint.Therefore, this small episode is like a little snow in a corner under the sun, and it will soon disappear under the blowing of the spring breeze.While his competitors were busy soliciting votes for the division-level positions and moving around, Fan Zhengzhang devoted all his thoughts and energy to the new year's work.He believed that with such an upright official as the head of the hall, the activities of these villains would not have any effect. With the spring breeze and flowers in full bloom, Fan Zhengzhang's new round of market promotion is also like a gust of east wind, blowing all over Huayang, and the market reputation of Yuxiang dairy products is getting better and better.Under such circumstances, Fan Zhengzhang began to implement the establishment of a new milk source station and a new dairy farmer, and at the same time started to invest in a new production line.As the weather is getting warmer and the work is getting smoother, Fan Zhengzhang is full of infinite expectations and rising hopes for the future, including his own future and Yuxiang's future.Therefore, whether it is for various complicated procedures or endless administrative affairs, I am full of passion.Especially in the process of starting a new production line, he needs to keep going back and forth between Huayang and the farm, sometimes three or four times a week.At the time when thousands of flowers are blooming and spring buds are sprouting, Fan Zhengzhang, who is proud of the spring breeze, is like a male cat in heat again, and begins to frequent Ruan Rong's apartment, and he and Ruan Rong perform more and more superb, more and more A blend of passion. Since Ruan Rong first made love with wealthy Hu Dashuan, she has quickly reached a state of being like glue.During the long Spring Festival holiday, Ruan Rong used the excuse of going back to her hometown to fly all the way to Hainan with Fan Zhengzhang on her back, and spent half a month of romantic time in Hu Dashuan's arms.Apart from the Tianlai car, the direct harvest of this relationship is an apartment worth 150,000 yuan in the suburbs of Hainan.It was not until Hu Dashuan went abroad for work that she returned to Huayang. On the one hand, she began to concentrate on managing the business, and at the same time, continued the original relationship with Fan Zhengzhang.She deeply understands that a man like Hu Dashuan may leave her at any time because he loves a new woman. Therefore, apart from getting some benefits from Hu Dashuan, she doesn't expect to be able to rely on him for life.So far, the only man who can be relied on for life, Ruan Rong sifts through the men around her, and still thinks that Fan Zhengzhang is the best candidate.Therefore, unless there is a new and better object, she must not break Fan Zhengzhang's love thread. This spring must be unusual, just like the rare passion in Fan Zhengzhang's heart.For some unknown reason, since the big-headed doll incident ended, he has developed extreme confidence in his abilities, even admiration.Ridiculous to say, but that's what he thought.In his eyes, he screened all the characters in the entire Agricultural Department, and he found that he was among the best in terms of IQ or talent.Therefore, for him, not only is the general manager who is about to compete, but he even thinks that within three to five years, the promotion to the deputy director should be very promising.According to his idea, if the position of deputy director cannot be taken, he plans to expand Yuxiang Dairy and form a group.This is a dream too big, a dream too wild.But he felt that was not far off.In this state of mind, every time he meets and makes love with Ruan Rong, it almost becomes a catharsis of his hard work to realize this dream. Everything is so beautiful, and when good things reach their peak, disasters often follow, especially when love tragedies between men and women often happen at such peaks.When Fan Zhengzhang and Ruan Rong went in and out, they found a thin person and a fat person following them not far away.Moreover, from time to time, the flash of the camera is blinking.Fan Zhengzhang knew that someone was following them. After Fan Zhengwen slapped Sun Zhanshan, it basically meant that their relationship for many years was broken.This made Fan Zhengwen annoyed all night.But after two days of thinking, she finally still felt that she had done nothing wrong.If it happened again, she felt that the behavior would still be repeated.Despite the dangers of the situation, she believes that there are some things that can never be compromised, no matter how difficult her situation is, her basic principles of being a woman can never be compromised.Playing around, playing and joking is fine, but she will resolutely refuse to sexually bribe a man who has no feelings for the future.In the days that followed, although she continued to seek relationships and even flattered her, it seemed that there was no room for maneuver.Because the news that a director of a confidential department of the provincial party committee is coming to serve as the propaganda minister is getting more and more popular in the agency.The most obvious evidence that made her feel that the situation was over was that some leaders in the city had changed their attitude towards her.This kind of change may not be visible to outsiders, because when they talk to her, they are always kind and rational. Only Fan Zhengwen, the person involved, can understand it from their imperceptible smiles, tone of voice, and their tone of voice. , they no longer consider her a ministerial candidate.Unless a miracle happens, Fan Zhengwen's original ministerial hope may have come to an end.So in the dead of night, apart from thinking about ways to retreat and trying to figure out the leaders' arrangements for her, she focused her energy on searching for her daughter Yan Yan. After receiving Yan Yan's letter, Fan Zhengwen asked Sun Mei to look for it according to the address on the envelope.It was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful scenery.In this beautiful small mountain town and its vicinity, after nearly twenty days of running around, Sun Mei finally found out a valuable clue.According to a middle-aged woman who runs a small department store in the local area, she once saw a girl who looked exactly like the one in the photo in Sun Mei's hand.The girl lived in a small guest house near her small department store for a few days, and occasionally came to her place to buy things. After dusk, the girl liked to stroll alone on the nearby mountain road.Then one day the girl disappeared.I don't know where I went.When the middle-aged woman heard that Yan Yan had run away from home, she suddenly seemed to think of something and said, will she go to the mountains to become a monk?Because the young man next door to her once commented that there was a beautiful little nun in the nunnery on that mountain, twenty kilometers away from the town. Sun Mei was a little scared, she didn't even dare to confirm it, so she called Fan Zhengwen of the news.At this time, Fan Zhengwen was feeling helpless about his future.Therefore, after receiving the news, she went straight to the airport and started on the road almost non-stop, and arrived at the guest house where Sun Mei was staying in the afternoon of the second day. It was an unusual afternoon, and there was a bleak rain in the sky, which made the mountain wind look even more chilling.Walking on the winding mountain road, Fan Zhengwen and Sun Mei, each holding an umbrella, were silent one after the other, thinking about their respective concerns.These are two women whose marriages have failed, and two women who are emotionally lonely.Whether it is Fan Zhengwen, who puts more emphasis on career and devotes all his attention to his official career, or Sun Mei, who puts all his energy on family, they all suffered marriage and relationship setbacks when they reached middle age.Is this the tragedy of a middle-aged woman?Or is it the fate of middle-aged women? The mountain road is very narrow, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the gurgling brook hangs in the mountains like a white ribbon under their feet. This should be a beautiful mountain scenery: beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and fragrant flowers.But the hearts of these two women are full of sorrow: they hope to see Yan Yan on the mountain, but they are afraid of seeing Yan Yan.How disappointed would Fan Zhengwen be if he didn't see Yan Yan?Seeing Yan Yan, how painful will Fan Zhengwen be? Time passed in the mountains as the rain increased a little bit, and the mountain road under my feet was getting closer to that destination unconsciously.When the blue-brick and blue-tiled building on the mountain, full of solemnity and loneliness, slowly stood in front of them like a dripping silent giant, Fan Zhengwen suddenly found that his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.She tried a few times, but she couldn't raise her legs to step over the bare threshold. Sun Mei, you go in, I'll take a rest, you help me take a look first.When Fan Zhengwen said this, his eyes were already filled with fear and helplessness. Sun Mei nodded, stretched out a cold hand to caress Fan Zhengwen's shoulder, patted it, and raised her leg to step in. The courtyard is very large, the ground is covered with bluestone slabs, and dark green moss grows in the cracks of the slabs, which looks green under the moisture of rain.There is a row of tall houses on the opposite side, and through the open door, dark statues can be seen faintly.The east and west wing rooms are slightly low, and there are vague chanting and wooden fish buzzing from inside.The most conspicuous thing in the courtyard is the huge incense burner and incense table in the middle.In the misty drizzle, the incense sticks of uneven lengths in front of the incense table are curling up wisps of smoke, blending with the silk-like rain and mist, winding into clusters of mysterious mist like fairy clouds.In front of the incense table, a little girl combing doll hair is holding an umbrella to protect a kneeling woman from the rain.And the woman was concentrating on bowing and prostrating.There are still a few pilgrims passing by with umbrellas in the courtyard. Sun Mei bypassed the incense table and the incense burner, and walked straight to the wing room where the chanting was heard through the smoke and rain.It was a poorly lit room, and it took Sun Mei a minute to see clearly through the dark light. Apart from the two nuns in gray-blue robes at the door, there were two rows of nuns in the same clothes inside. .When Sun Mei opened her eyes wide and tried to figure out whether there was Yan Yan in these seemingly identical faces, an elderly nun stood up at the door and finally spoke: Donor, do you have anything to do? Sun Mei wanted to say that I wanted to find someone.But after thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, there is nothing wrong, just take a look. Then please watch it!The nun sat down again and closed her eyes. Sun Mei looked into the house again, and at this moment she noticed the back of a nun breaking away from the two rows of nuns, walking quietly towards the depths of the house.It was a thin but tall figure, and Sun Mei's already familiar figure could not be concealed in the loose robes.When Sun Mei realized what happened, she subconsciously shouted: Strict - strict!Strict - strict! There was no answer, and the figure disappeared into the darkness behind the house before Sun Mei's shout fell to the ground.In desperation, Sun Mei stepped over the threshold and chased into the house in a sprinting posture, but was stopped by two nuns inside the door. Fan Zhengwen finally walked in and stood near the nuns with yellow faces, her heart ached like a knife.Is this what her daughter looks like, is this her daughter's future: a dark hut, a secluded courtyard, the sound of a lonely wooden fish, boring chanting, and what is repeated every day. No, Yan Yan, you can't ruin your youth like this!Fan Zhengwen finally couldn't bear it anymore and sat on the kneeling mat in front of the door of this wing. Dusk descended on the small courtyard little by little, slowly merging with the blue bricks of the entire small courtyard into a huge curtain of darkness.Yan Yan still refused to come out to meet each other until the lights in the house were turned on.Fan Zhengwen had already burned ten huge sticks of incense in front of the incense table, donated one thousand yuan to the merit box, and knelt on the kneeling mat for half an hour.When the nuns were having dinner, Fan Zhengwen finally got the result - it wasn't Yan Yan's appearance, but Yan Yan's letter: Mom, let's go!As you already know, I'm fine.Everyone has their own aspirations, don't force me, if one day I figure it out, maybe I will return to the vulgar or go home. Fan Zhengwen and Sun Mei insisted on staying overnight in the nun's house, and the next day, they still insisted on waiting for a miracle to happen.In the evening, they waited so hard that they did not come out to meet each other, but instead waited for a very terrible news: Wan Changqing committed suicide! The news came from Wan Changqing's secretary on the phone.At that time, Fan Zhengwen was standing in front of the small courtyard looking at the wing room where Yan Yan was, eagerly waiting for news from the old nun.The rain is still falling, getting thinner and thinner, as light and soft as the cigarette smoke lingering in front of the incense burner.Standing in the rain, Fan Zhengwen's hair was already covered with a thin layer of water droplets, which looked like a thin layer of hoarfrost.At this moment, her phone rang suddenly, and even though the signal was very bad, she still heard clearly intermittently: Wan Changqing committed suicide by wrapping his belt around his neck the night before and tying it to the head of the bed! Standing in the rain, Fan Zhengwen was stunned by the news for a few minutes before he understood what had happened.Wan Changqing, that man, the man who made her pour all her love for the second time committed suicide the night before, that is, the night she set off to find Yan Yan! No tears flowed, because tears were nothing at this point.Fan Zhengwen stood quietly, and suddenly felt that his whole body was still, including the heart, including the blood in the body, and the consciousness that had been flowing continuously since birth.Until then, she discovered that a living person can stop all activities like a dead person, and a machine that can suddenly turn off the power can stop all.Just stand like this, silent, invisible, without thinking, without pain, without suffering, let the rain wash all over, let the mountain wind blow through.One second, two seconds, three seconds...Fan Zhengwen finally came back.And what did Fan Zhengwen hear when he came back?She heard a sound that had never been heard before, like a whirlwind coming from the depths of her body, from far to near, from weak to strong, and it rushed towards her thin body with an unstoppable force. .Under the impact of this huge force, she finally felt her body come alive.At the same time, the blood in the heart suddenly set off a torrential wave like a strong wind, and accompanied by clanging knocks and roars, it began to gallop and crash crazily.She knew that there must be a rush of blood that was so red that it was black, and that contained great energy, hitting her weak chest, and even destroying her body.Fan Zhengwen closed his eyes and said to himself silently: let it comeLet her tear my ribcage, tear my body! Wave after wave of blood power is constantly growing, and the rolling roar makes Fan Zhengwen very excited: Let it come fast!Let it destroy me! The night suddenly covered the small courtyard and the surroundings. Fan Zhengwen felt as if he was packed in an airtight black cloth bag for an instant, his chest was suffocating, his pores were bleeding, his limbs were being severed, and his body was being torn apart.Sun Mei stood in front of Fan Zhengwen, looking suspiciously at all the changes that had taken place on Fan Zhengwen's tattoo.It was an indescribable change. The changing situation on Fan Zhengwen's face was like a cruel war scene.When Sun Mei was trying to figure out what happened to Fan Zhengwen, she saw Fan Zhengwen's body swaying left and right twice, and then swaying back and forth twice.Then, like a felled tree, it was planted on the bluestone slab in the small courtyard.In front of her crouching body, there is a mouthful of bright red blood splashed on the bluestone slab. The figure is just like a chicken that has been hunted, with its bristling hair on the ground, showing the cruelty and helplessness of the end of life. An hour later, Fan Zhengwen finally woke up under the conditioning of an old nun.She looked at everything in front of her eyes, and finally recalled what happened before falling asleep——Wan Changqing committed suicide.Only then did she realize that this man not only left, but also left her with pain that could never be erased.Hurt, hurt and hurt!How can I bear it, how can I! Fan Zhengwen rushed out!She knocked down the tea that Sun Mei brought over, overcame the old nun's obstruction, knocked over a tall slender incense table, and ran out of the nun's courtyard in a swift motion. The night was extremely dark, and the mountains were extremely silent. As he rushed into the densely forested mountains and was wrapped in the cold rain like fine sand, Fan Zhengwen felt his heart numb like never before.She climbed up a hill, walked down another hill, climbed up another hill, and walked down another hill.She was almost trotting without stopping.At first, he could still hear the shouts of Sun Mei and the others behind him, but after half an hour, Fan Zhengwen found that their voices had all disappeared. Fan Zhengwen was still running. Although her feet were bumpy and her body was cold, she still didn't want to stop.No matter what lies ahead, and no matter what she encounters on the road, she is not afraid.The mountains are getting more and more dangerous, the forests are getting denser, the sky is getting darker, and the roads are getting narrower. The sound did not slow down Fan Zhengwen's pace.Half an hour later, she was still running, running desperately, but she didn't know what she was doing at all.She didn't even stop when she bumped into a stone and staggered a few times.Maybe only in this way can she forget who she is, the current situation, and that man.I don't know how long it took, when the road ahead suddenly disappeared into the bushes, a dense forest, blocking the way like a black wall, she stopped. Panting like a cow, staring at the stars, Fan Zhengwen looked at the dark night around him, his legs were limp and his buttocks were paralyzed on the ground, to be more precise, he was paralyzed on a few stones as hard as steel.When the heart-wrenching pain came, she suddenly smelled the fresh and cold mountain wind, mixed with some inexplicable mysterious smell seeping into her body, and her mind became a hundred times clearer for a while.She thought of everything, and thought of Wan Changqing. What a smart, capable and energetic man this is, what a man she admires and admires, and how much effort has been devoted to her?Why did she fall down all of a sudden? Fan Zhengwen cried, venting his tears and wail presumptuously for the first time after hearing of Wan Changqing's suicide. The rain was dense and sparse, and the wind was strong and sometimes light. When the tears on his face and the rain kept dripping into his mouth, Fan Zhengwen tasted the salty tears, and suddenly began to question loudly: Wan Changqing, where are you? Wan Changqing, where are you? Wan Changqing, do you hear me calling you? The sound of crying dragged a long tail and slowly oscillated in the mountains, disappearing wave after wave in the windy and windy mountain night.She looked up at the night in front of her in a daze, and suddenly found a familiar silhouette drifting slowly among the branches not far ahead.At that moment, before she could tell what it was, she felt her body start to stiffen.She lowered her head, wiped her eyes vigorously, raised her head again, and looked at the familiar silhouette through the dark night, through the fine sand-like rain and fog. what is that? It was a face, a familiar face, Wan Changqing's face! She clearly saw the familiar eyes on that face, and the familiar expression in those familiar eyes! Ah - ah - Fan Zhengwen opened his eyes wide, subconsciously propped himself up, stood up, and instinctively called "Wan Changqing! Wan Changqing"!While walking towards the drifting figure. The feet became soft like cotton, and the eyes became cloudy and foggy.范正纹眼睛一眨不眨地盯着，走着，就在她对这个熟悉的脸伸手可及时，脚下突然一软，她再一次摔倒在地。 没有一丝犹豫，她像弹簧一般迅速跳起，再次冲向那个人影。可是当她冲到刚才那个人影所在的地方时，她发现伸手抓住的不是万长青，而是一枝肥叶繁茂的树杈。 what!万——长——青——范正纹第三次瘫坐在地，并且开始撕心裂肺地大哭。哭声响彻在深夜的高山老林，一波波声浪像山雾般向远处不断弥漫伸展，遇上山岩便会像弹簧般弹回，把本来就疯狂的哭声搅得混乱不堪，整片山林更显凄惨恐怖。范正纹眼睛半张半合，对眼前的一切视若无睹，只是执著地寻找刚才那个模糊的人影。只是几分钟过去，在她没有任何收获的时候，却想起了一个可怕的事实：万长青是在她离开华阳的那个晚上自杀的。 How is this going?范正纹突然停止哭声，自问道。 他在寻找我呀！ 一旦发现这个答案，范正纹顿时伤痛得肝肠寸断，她从不曾想到这个男人的死亡能让她产生如此的震撼。到此时，她才意识到她对这个男人的爱是如此深。她想念他的雷厉风行，想念他的超常才智，想念他对她的呵护，想念他对她的热恋。她不禁问道，在这个深夜，万长青，你是否就在附近？如果你在附近，是否是因为孤独而想念我？如果你想念我，那么，我爱的男人，你是否愿意走出来，让我看见呀？ 什么都没有出现，万长青也没有走出来。范正纹在等了几秒钟后，才发现自己此时此刻比任何时候都想念他，想亲近他，亲他的脸，亲他脸上硬硬的胡楂，亲他胡楂下厚厚的嘴唇。尤其想紧紧抱着这个男人的身体，让他与她一起迎接未来的一切。当这个念头逐渐演变成强烈的饥饿，在身体里四处流散时，范正纹仿佛又看见前边树影里那个熟悉的身影向她展开的熟悉微笑。她突然明白了：万长青一定就在附近等着。而他们由于身在咫尺，却相隔阴阳两界，因此难以相聚。她泪流满面地自问着：一条腰带真能结束你的生命吗？如果真能结束，万长青你是否正在通往阴间的路上踽踽独行？如果是这样，这条路是否也一如我刚才所走的山路，黑暗、荒凉、孤独、恐怖？如果可怕，你是否愿意我与你为伴呢？ 没有回答，范正纹倾听着，什么都没有听见。她想他是默许。 既然你默许，我如何找你呢？范正纹再一次问道。 腰带呀！范正纹的脑里突然闪现出脖子缠着腰带的万长青样子，一时间茅塞顿开：既然一根腰带就能解决一切，那么，我还等着干吗？ 范正纹心中突生一片兴奋之情。她立即站起身，解开自己的腰带，像系腰一样穿进去，形成一个套。然后撕下衬衫上一条布，用布将腰带一头系到树杈上，就是那根万长青影子显现的树杈。她要效仿万长青，如此这般，也许能与万长青走上一条路。 范正纹系好裤子上的扣，然后留恋地望了望周围黑糊糊的夜，一头钻到了腰带圈里。在意识滞留的最后一刻，范正纹喃喃着说： 长青，你等着我，我马上到。
