Chapter 9 Chapter 9 It is knowledge to follow up with the leader

Mei Han received a letter.The letter was sent by registered mail, and the sender's address was a hotel in Sanhe City.With the letter in his hand, Mei Han suddenly felt ominous. He couldn't explain why, but it felt a little strange.When she opened it and held the pile of photos, she felt more than just being weird.A fire ignited from the bottom of my heart, and soon, my whole body was burned in the flames.The angry hands endured and endured, so they didn't tear up those dirty photos. All morning, Mei Han locked herself in the office, she doubted, she repelled, she was surprised, she was angry, after all, she still couldn't resist the seduction of another voice, did he really betray me?At the thought of betrayal, Mei Han's heart darkened.

She picked up the phone and said in a non-negotiable tone, "Ma Qiming, please go home immediately." Ma Qiming called Mei Han back one after another, but the phone was turned off, and no one answered the office phone, so he called her secretary.The secretary said that Director Mei came home after eleven o'clock. She was not feeling well and looked very bad.I called home, the phone was connected, but I didn't answer it.Ma Qiming has no reason to hesitate any longer, this is the first time such a thing has happened since he was married, and he refused to talk to him without thinking, what happened to Mei Han?He rushed back to the provincial capital in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard two cold words, divorce.

Ma Qiming was stunned by these two words, and looked at his wife in panic, wondering where the bloody anger on her face came from? "What's the matter, what happened?" After a while, he said timidly. Mei Han continued her anger, she had already made up her mind that she would never give him reasons, now that it has reached this point, what's the use of talking about it? "Mei Han." Ma Qi called out. "Hanzi." Ma Qiming called out again. "Stop calling me!" Mei Han's anger had reached its peak, how could he still scream at this time?Mushy!Shameless!She got up from the sofa, picked up her bag, and her packed personal items, and threw away the keys, intending to leave the house forever.

Ma Qiming's eyes touched a few pages on the coffee table, which were the written divorce agreement. "Mei Han, calm down, you have to explain clearly what's going on." Ma Qiming hugged Mei Han and pulled back the steps she had already stepped out of.With this pull, Mei Han's tears fell from her crystal eyes like unthreaded beads. Mei Han is like this. In her mind, she is perfect, her husband is perfect, and her love is even more perfect. There is never a single dark cloud that blocks the blue sky they guard together.In each other's world, they guarded a covenant, a covenant of love, a covenant of soul, and they once swore to themselves that they would never let a speck of dust blow into their eyes.Now, the love has collapsed, the vows have been overturned, the sky is full of dark clouds, and the sky is full of sandstorms. She sees the blood-like waves of evil, breaking down the wall they were guarding together.What broke into this home was not just a third party, not just betrayal, not just an affair, but a subversion, a subversion of her life.

She couldn't stand anymore, those shameless shots in the photos were like countless wolf claws, tearing her sharply and sharply. "Machiming, you are so vicious!" she yelled and fell down. When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.The morning light shines through the clean windows, pouring in the most beautiful hope of the day. Mei Han glanced at it, and immediately closed her eyes in pain. Machiming sat quietly on the bedside. This night, he had fully figured out the cause and process of the incident, and all that remained was to repair the broken boat.At any time, husband and wife have to help each other in the same boat. This is Machiming's logic and his belief in dealing with his family and his wife.Unfortunately, only now did he realize that a boat that is too beautiful cannot withstand wind and waves.

"Listen to me—" He tried to find a way, explaining these things was really difficult and strenuous, and Ma Qiming had never encountered such a strenuous thing. "I don't want to listen!" Mei Han's voice was still sharp and neighing. "You must listen!" Ma Qiming suddenly raised his voice. He rarely used this tone in front of his wife, but he had to use it now. "Why?" Mei Han screamed higher than him, almost making the air go crazy. "Because it's a trap!" Ma Qiming did have a tryst with Tang Ruyi, if that was called a tryst.It wasn't that time, that time Tang Ruyi stayed overnight and then left.Ma Qiming rushed to the hotel the next day, only to see a very delicate note, which said: I am so happy to see you so well, see you again by fate.Ma Qiming took the message note exuding a faint fragrance, pondered it carefully for a while, then smiled lightly, and threw it out of the window.

The wind blows the incense paper, dancing in the air. Ma Qiming felt that his heart was flying with the paper, fluttering and fluttering, and he refused to land for a long time.In the later days, he would occasionally think about it for a while, thinking about it, a touch of bitterness, salty sweetness would inadvertently hit his heart, and he felt a slight pain in the place where his heart was called. The meeting again was after the conversation with Secretary Yuan Bo, and that conversation had a penetrating meaning for both him and Secretary Yuan Bo.Yes, between people, sometimes a kind of strength should be needed to penetrate. Those seemingly hard shells, or the ice of the heart, are actually very easy to break, just take out one thing, sincerity.

That day was also of special significance to Sanhe, as it was the first day that Deputy Director Cheng of the National People's Congress visited Sanhe.At twelve o'clock at night, Secretary Yuan Bo called suddenly and asked, "Are you asleep?" Ma Qiming said he couldn't sleep, and Secretary Yuan Bo said he couldn't sleep either.Ma Qiming said: "How about I come over and play a game of chess?" Secretary Yuan Bo said: "You don't need to play chess. You can come over instead. Come to the hotel, No. 2." Each leader has a special code, which is The room number where they rest or work in a certain hotel.

When Ma Qiming arrived, Secretary Yuan Bo was sitting upright, not as if he had slept at all, he must have been sitting there for half the night.Also, the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.Secretary Yuan Bo smoked, he must have encountered something worse than beheading. "Have I looked for you?" Ma Qiming asked. "twice." "What did you talk about?" "One time was you, and the other time was Li Chunjiang." Ma Qiming felt a little uncomfortable because he tortured Secretary Yuan Bo so much that he couldn't sleep. "Then... what are you going to do?"

"If I have plans, will I still call you?" silence.The air fell and began to press and choke, and then two puffs of smoke rose. "Shut less." Secretary Yuan Bo said. "Aren't you smoking too?" Ma Qiming said. "I can't think of an idea." "According to him?" Ma Qiming finally couldn't help but wanted to know. "Let you go, I will report to the provincial party committee, he will do the work." "Where's Li Chunjiang?" "Transfer, too, and leave Sanhe forever." After a while, he said, "There is a farm, but a secretary is missing."

"This……" There was a long sigh, another, and then another smoke. "How much... have you mastered?" the voice of Secretary Yuan Bo. "There are not many at present, but... if we continue to investigate, we will bring out the vines and seedlings. I believe it is not far from the big melon." "Guangyuan said the same thing back then. The words were so sad. It sounded like chasing after the dead." Ma Qiming didn't want to smell the sadness, so he interrupted Secretary Yuan Bo, saying, "Guangyuan was in a hurry, so he took a detour instead. .” "Aren't you in a hurry? How much time do you think you have, who will give you time?" "This matter cannot be rushed, absolutely not!" "But...he is waiting for my answer!" Suddenly, Secretary Yuan Bo stood up, "You know, he called just now and asked me how I was thinking. Perhaps, he has already moved my mind. It is very easy for me to leave and let Sun Jihai go." "I know that." "Know that you are still dawdling?" "The roots are too deep, the seedlings are too messy, it's more complicated than you and I thought." "I don't want to hear this, I just ask you, when will there be a result, and what kind of result will it be?" "This……" "Forget it, let's not talk about it, playing chess, not playing chess can really make people crazy." As soon as the chess pieces were placed, the phone rang again. It was a call from the province. It was a confidential call and asked Yuan Bo: "Where do you choose, the Provincial People's Congress or the Provincial Political Consultative Conference?" "I'm not going anywhere!" Yuan Bo dropped the phone abruptly, turned around and lifted the chess piece, panting and said, "Use Yuan Xiaoan to force me, are you still human?" Ma Qiming didn't know whether Secretary Yuan Bo scolded him or the person on the phone. In short, the matter was very serious. The next day, Secretary Yuan Bo called him and said in a firm tone: "Investigate as you like, but there is one thing, if Tong Baishan destroys Sanhe's economy, I will not spare you!" It was such a coincidence that on that night, Tang Ruyi called suddenly and said that she wanted to see him and wait for him at the shepherd's house.Ma Qiming thought she was joking, but after thinking about it, he realized that he was not, so he hurried to the shepherd's house, and there was a dreamlike shadow on the table in front of the window. What they sent to Mei Han was a photo secretly taken at the shepherd's house. The background was blurry, but the two of them talked very sweetly. "Then... what about those?" Mei Han yelled, pointing at another pile of photos. "You still can't see it, computer synthesis!" Ma Qiming also made the fire in his heart irritated. "Computer synthesis?" Mei Han seemed to have suddenly realized something, and wanted to take a closer look at the photos. Ma Qiming threw them away. Mei Han was suddenly dumbfounded, how smart is he, why can't he even think of this? After extinguishing the fire in the backyard, Ma Qiming hurried back, but Mei Han refused to let him go, saying that he had to celebrate anyway. "Celebrate what?" Ma Qiming looked puzzled, he was a little dulled by his wife's repetition.Mei Han had a flattering face, and said in a delicate voice, "Congratulations on our reunion!" Ma Qiming really had nothing to do with her, but this time he really didn't have time.Ma Qiming, who was sitting in the car, smiled wryly. Thinking about this farce, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they could also think of such a method. The car was speeding on the road, and Ma Qiming's thoughts were also churning. In fact, what he talked to Tang Ruyi that night was about Sanhe's investment, which was why Ma Qiming was eager to see Tang Ruyi.He had promised Secretary Yuan Bo that Baishan Group would never collapse because of Tong Baishan, and that acquisitions or mergers could be adopted when necessary.Tang Ruyi shook her head without thinking about talking, saying that she was more optimistic about Xinjiang, and then she talked about her feelings about going to Xinjiang.Ma Qiming repeatedly begged Tang Ruyi to choose Sanhe as the window. In desperation, he suddenly grabbed Tang Ruyi's hand and said, "Just give me a hand, okay?" Tang Ruyi trembled slightly and was stunned for a while. , gently pulled out his hand, smiled mischievously, and said, "Why?" When Ma Qiming asked her to ask, he suddenly became a little flustered. Yes, why? As soon as he arrived in Sanhe, Ma Qiming heard the news that Cheng Mingjie had died. The body was found on Yema Beach west of Changshi.Yema Beach is a Gobi Desert where not a single blade of grass grows, and there are few people on weekdays except for the occasional Luo Kezi passing by.When Lao Zeng and the others arrived, the body had already decomposed, and it was a hunter on the Gobi Desert who found the body.According to forensic identification, Cheng Mingjie was strangled to death and then thrown into the wilderness.Five meters away from the body, there were two fake license plates.Obviously, as soon as Cheng Mingjie jumped into the fake military vehicle, he was killed by the other party, and then abandoned his body and fled. This was his second life, and Ma Qiming felt very heavy, he really didn't know what would happen next.He asked Li Chunjiang to be more vigilant and not to give the other party any chance.Li Chunjiang sighed sadly, the current situation is really unpredictable.Li Chunjiang's expression was a little gloomy, and his words were far less confident than before. Ma Qiming secretly wondered, what happened to Li Chunjiang?Ma Qiming didn't know that when his backyard caught fire, Li Chunjiang also encountered the same embarrassment.Li Chunjiang had just arrived in Wushui that day, and originally wanted to see Li Xinran again, but the nurse Yulan called and told him to go back immediately.When he rushed to the hospital, Ye Zihe held his nose and cried, looking heartbroken, no matter what Li Chunjiang asked, he just didn't say what happened.Later, the nurse Yulan guessed, "Is it because of that woman?" "Which woman?" Only then did the nurse Yulan tell Ma Qiming that a woman from other places had come this morning and talked with Ye Zihe for more than an hour. After she left, Ye Zihe became like this. Foreign woman?Li Chunjiang felt even more strange, the more he heard about this, the more confused he became.He grabbed Ye Zihe's hand and asked urgently: "Zi He, tell me, who is it?" Ye Zihe still shook his head, tears poured from his eyes, and wet his face. According to the nurse Yulan's description, Li Chunjiang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly, Chu Dan's shadow jumped out.A few days ago, Li Chunjiang received several text messages, which were very touching and hurtful.At that time, I thought it was a text message scam, but it didn't make any sense.A few days later, he connected to several inexplicable calls in one night. When he got through, the other party didn't speak, and when he hung up, the other party called again quickly.Li Chunjiang called the other party's number, but the other party ignored him.The number showed that the other party was from the southern coastal area, and Li Chunjiang couldn't figure out which city it was.After thinking about it, it is concluded that this woman is Chu Dan.What is she here for?Li Chunjiang suddenly felt that things were complicated. Ye Zihe seemed to be deliberately playing dumb with Li Chunjiang, apart from crying, she didn't even say a word all night.Think about it, too, what else can she say about this matter?Li Chunjiang didn't explain it to his wife. It's better not to explain some things.For so many years, he has never had a single contact with Chu Dan, and that incident in the past would have thrown him into a museum long ago.As for what she said to Ye Zihe, it was her problem. Thinking about it, she probably wouldn't say anything.However, he was still worried that Ye Zihe's current physical condition could not withstand this kind of stimulation.He repeatedly told Yulan, the nurse, that if the woman came again, she must be prevented from entering the ward, and she must be told as soon as possible. Seeing Li Chunjiang's gloomy face, Ma Qiming said, "I'll find a place to chat with you." Li Chunjiang also wanted to go out to entertain himself.The two went to the shepherd's house, and when they told each other all the sad things in their hearts, they suddenly stared at each other in surprise. Could it be that someone deliberately directed these two plays? Ji Xiaofei has been very busy these days.Wu Shui's robbery case was successfully solved, and she published several large articles one after another, showing her face in the newspaper industry.Then, following Li Chunjiang and Li Yu, they followed up and interviewed this major case.Although the current manuscript cannot be published in the newspapers, I believe that one day, it will become a sensational news. On this day, she had just returned from the Gobi Desert with Lao Zeng when she received a call from her father.My father said that my mother's operation was very successful and she was able to eat.Ji Xiaofei was really happy when she heard this, and she repeatedly told her father to take good care of her body.The father said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaofei, do you know that seeing your mother get better, I am better than eating anything." These words overturned the five-flavored bottle in Ji Xiaofei's heart. Thinking about her parents sharing joys and sorrows for half of her life, I really feel that my father not easy.She held back her crying and said, "Dad, you must take good care of your mother. I'll come over when I'm done working for a while." Lao Ji said on the other end of the phone, "Feifei, don't worry about it. Do your job well. , By the way, remember to say hello to Secretary Ma, saying that I, Lao Ji, have never owed anyone in my heart in my life, and this time, I owe him." After closing the phone, Ji Xiaofei's heart was wet, and before she knew it, half of her face was wet with tears.She thought of many things when she was a child, and those days when her father and mother quarreled, and suddenly felt that life is really unclear and unclear.Father and mother, no one thinks they are a good match, but such a couple, in the wind and rain, love each other, those so-called quarrels, now looking back, they have become another expression of feelings.Maybe it's only through arguing and arguing that our hearts can be fused together through bumps and bumps.Thinking of this, secretary Xiaotian suddenly appeared in his mind, and the two of them hadn't been together for some time.On the night when my father and mother went to Beijing, the secretary Xiao Tian foolishly proposed to her. She was surprised on the mouth, but it was extraordinarily sweet in her heart. Ji Xiaofei decided to call Xiaotian, and go to the hillbilly to eat sand rice noodles together.The country bumpkin's sandy rice noodles tasted pure, exactly the same as what she ate at the bumpkin's house when she was a child.As soon as the phone call was made, Ji Xiaofei's eyes were startled suddenly. Isn't it Tong Xiaoniu who got out of the car in front?How did Tong Xiaoniu come out? When he arrived at the country bumpkin, Ji Xiaofei told his secretary Xiaotian what he saw on the street.Secretary Xiao Tian said without any surprise: "Come out as soon as you come out, what's so strange?" Ji Xiaofei made her secretary Xiaotian choke, thinking about it carefully, she felt that Xiaotian must have something to hide from her.Then he said unhappily: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" Xiaotian raised his eyes pretending to be surprised, and said, "Isn't it just a boy Xiaoniu, what a big deal?" Ji Xiaofei put down his chopsticks Said: "Don't eat, talking to people like you is really tiring." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xiaotian told Ji Xiaofei about Tong Xiaoniu's coming out. It turned out that this was a move carefully planned by Ma Qiming and Li Chunjiang.After Liu Dong came out, he thought that Wu Dagong would try to let Tong Xiaoniu go, but he didn't expect Wu Dagong to stop here.Tong Baishan also stood still, as if his son was going on his honeymoon, not in a hurry.This made Ma Qiming and Li Chunjiang uncertain. Why were they so patient?In addition, Zhu Mang'er did not tell the truth for a long time, and hid in a relative's house without showing his face. Ma Cai was so angry that he wanted to throw him into the detention center.Going on like this is not a solution, even if you take some risks, you have to force Zhu Mang'er to tell the truth. After some calculations, you decide to release Tong Xiaoniu to see what he does. "It's too dangerous!" Ji Xiaofei shouted. "Keep your voice down, this is not your home." Oda reprimanded in a low voice.Ji Xiaofei stuck out her tongue and lowered her head to eat sand rice noodles.But I thought in my heart, this villain came out and didn't know how to harass her. At two o'clock, Li Yu called and asked her to go to Wushui immediately, saying that she had good news for her. Kang Yongsheng recruited. Probably because he felt that it was useless to resist any longer, and Li Yu told him the tragic end of the famous hero's dead body in the wasteland, Kang Yongsheng finally broke down. Kang Yongsheng confessed that Li Huawei was the one who put the heartbroken grass in Li Huawei's rice, and Tong Baishan forced him to do it.Kang Yongsheng's friendship with Tong Baishan has been going on for six years, and it was first caused by Li Xinran.Kang Yongsheng wanted to climb up, but he didn't have a strong relationship in Wushui. Later, he heard that Tong Baishan had a close relationship with Li Xinran. It happened that one of Tong Baishan's subordinates committed a crime in Wushui and fell into his hands. Tong Baishan got involved.Later he released that subordinate, and Tong Baishan agreed to speak to him at Li Xinran's place. Unexpectedly, Tong Baishan was very loyal, and within two months he was promoted from the director of the police station to the deputy captain. Later, relying on this relationship Became captain again.But his life also took another path, for which Kang Yongsheng cried bitterly and regretted it too much. The heartbroken grass was given to him by Cheng Mingjie, and the place where Li Xinran was detained was also given to Cheng Mingjie by him.Kang Yongsheng also confessed that when Xiaosi'er escaped from Liu Yuying's house, Li Xinran asked him to give Xiaosi'er 50,000 yuan.Later, Xiao Sier and Liu Yuying met at the garbage dump, and it was he who sent someone to beat Liu Yuying unconscious.Originally, Tong Baishan ordered Xiao Si'er to be killed, but it turned out that Xiao Si'er was one step too late and Xiao Si'er escaped.The two men were afraid that they would not be able to do their work when they came back, so they knocked Liu Yuying unconscious when their brains became agitated. It happened like this! "What else did Li Xinran ask you to do?" Li Yu asked. "He...he once asked me to check on Secretary Zheng." "what?" "Li Xinran suspected that Tao Shi's car accident was fake. He asked me to find out if Secretary Zheng was driving the car." "Is there such a thing?" Li Yu was startled.Not daring to continue the trial, he immediately reported the situation to Li Chunjiang. Li Chunjiang warned: "This is the end of this matter, before I come, don't disclose the news to anyone." "Including Ji Xiaofei?" Li Yu panicked and asked something inexplicable. "Yes!" Li Chunjiang said emphatically. Kang Yongsheng's confession really frightened Li Yu and Li Chunjiang. Fortunately, there were no outsiders at the time, and a young policeman Li Chunjiang had just sent to Li Yu joined the interrogation.The young man was very reliable, without Li Yu's permission, he would never say a single word, and he didn't even write down the words that Kang Yongsheng explained.He already saw the danger of these words from Li Yu's face.Besides, he was a distant relative of Taozi. Li Chunjiang rushed to Wushui, and the first thing he said was: "Do you believe this?" Li Yu shook his head, these days, his relationship with Zheng Yuan has become quite close, and deep down in his heart, he is full of respect for this county party secretary who is many years older than him.Zheng Yuan's reputation in Wushui is quite good, and he is praised everywhere he goes, which is quite precious in the current relationship between cadres and the masses.Li Yu himself was often encouraged by Zheng Yuan. Zheng Yuan always showed a tenacity to do practical things and tell the truth. In such a complicated environment in Wushui, it was not easy to produce such a county party secretary. "Don't let him talk nonsense, this is a typical biting!" Li Chunjiang was a little anxious.Li Yu said: "I know, I have warned him." After speaking, he felt inappropriate, afraid that Li Chunjiang would worry too much, so he followed up, "This guy is still not honest." Li Chunjiang didn't answer Li Yu's words, his heart was with Zheng Yuan, this matter was no small matter, he had to talk to him.How about this, he locked the door, explained to Li Yu, and finally said: "This matter is very sensitive, you and I must be cautious." Li Yu walked for a long time, Li Chunjiang was still in great fear Can't wake up from God.Intuitively, he decided that Kang Yongsheng hadn't lied. There was no need for a person to lie when he was alone, and there was no reason to drag Zheng Yuan into the quagmire.Then... Li Chunjiang didn't dare to think about it. Zheng Yuan's phone has been unable to get through, either there is no signal or the caller is not in the service area, Li Chunjiang is so anxious that he is going crazy.If a surefire solution is not thought of as soon as possible, this matter is likely to cause even greater chaos.At this moment, Ji Xiaofei came to the door suddenly, and when he entered the door, he talked about Kang Yongsheng, talking very excitedly, saying that he could dig out a few more big fish this time.After listening to a few words, Li Chunjiang suddenly interrupted her violently: "Have you said enough?" Choking at the words, Ji Xiaofei froze there.After sitting for a while, Ji Xiaofei saw that Li Chunjiang didn't welcome her very much, so she stood up and said goodbye in an embarrassing manner.When I went out, I let out a long sigh of relief, wondering in my heart, what's going on?She took out her phone and asked Xiaotian: "Why is Chief Li so weird?" Xiaotian said unhappily: "Why don't you inquire about everything, are you spoiled now?" Ji Xiaofei felt aggrieved, but said: "They called me, and it wasn't me—" "How many times have I told you that you have to follow up with the leader? This is learning, not like being a reporter. Don't be so curious, okay?" Xiaotian said a few more words to Ji Xiaofei, afraid that she would be narrow-minded, and comforted him, "Why don't you come back , when they have the results, they will give you news." Ji Xiaofei said angrily: "I don't, I'll go to him!" Xiaotian was very worried, and he reminded Ji Xiaofei many times that if he couldn't give his nose, he would kick his face , people should always remember their own identity.But Ji Xiaofei can't change it all the time, and forgets everything when she gets excited. It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Li Chunjiang got in touch with Zheng Yuan.Zheng Yuan said that he had just returned from the countryside, and the yams in Tugou Township could not be sold, and the farmers were encouraged to plant them in large quantities at the beginning of the year.The peasants made trouble with the township, and the township government was required to take responsibility. This incident caused a disturbance, and the township government was not a person inside or outside.Fortunately, he has a relationship with the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and he agreed to buy part of it. After a whole day of tossing around, he hasn't had dinner yet. "I don't think you should eat it yet!" Li Chunjiang didn't care to listen to what he said, interrupted Zheng Yuan angrily, and told him a place where he was waiting for him. Zheng Yuan on the phone seemed to have given Li Chunjiang a sap. As soon as they met, Zheng Yuan asked anxiously, "What happened?" Li Chunjiang did not answer, but stared coldly at his friend for many years. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.Zheng Yuan was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by him, and felt nervous for no reason. "Why are you looking at me like that and saying, what's the matter?" "Zheng Yuan, how many years have you been with me?" Zheng Yuan became more and more confused, and the body that had just sat down suddenly bounced up, and asked: "Chun Jiang, what's the matter with you today?" "Let me ask you, how many years have you been with me?" "Speak straight, don't go around in circles with me." "Well, let me ask you, are you hiding something from me?" "Hide it from you?" Zheng Yuan's eyes became tense suddenly, and he touched Li Chunjiang's face a few times, then fell down silently and scattered on the ground. "I want you to tell me the truth." Li Chunjiang's heart tightened. "Chunjiang... this..." Zheng Yuan had already realized something, but a word stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it. Li Chunjiang had already got the answer from Zheng Yuan's face, his heart instantly fell from the midair of hope, and fell heavily to the bottom of the valley.What Zheng Yuan wanted to say, Li Chunjiang waved his hand, he didn't need to know the answer anymore, now, he might have to ask himself, what should he do? That night, neither Li Chunjiang nor Zheng Yuan slept.And at Zheng Yuan's house in Sanhe, Tao Zi couldn't sleep even more. Taozi has given 250,000 yuan to that man named Huang Dawu three times, and this greedy man is still not satisfied.Two hundred and fifty thousand!I have borrowed everything that should be borrowed, and found all the people I should look for. Taozi has never found money so difficult.But he is still not satisfied! At seven o'clock in the evening, Huang Dawu called again and asked: "Is the money ready?" Tao Zi yelled almost frantically: "Huang, are you finished?" "Enough." Huang Dawu chuckled, "How stupid am I to want to get rid of me so quickly?" "Huang, you will die!" Huang Dawu was not angry at all, he smiled sinisterly for a while, and then said: "I don't care if I die, I just want money, remember, I will give you a few more days, and then I will call you." Tao Zi wished she could rush out and chop this shameless man to pieces.But thinking about what Huang Dawu said last time, the arm holding the microphone drooped down. Huang Dawu escaped from his village that night.His village is on the side of the highway, not far away, ten minutes away.So when the gamblers chased after his house, he was already standing on the side of the highway.Huang Dawu was a bit pitiful that night, not only pitiful, he was almost forced to die by gambling debts.If the gamblers catch it, even though they won't die, there is no doubt about cutting off one or even two fingers.Huang Dawu lost his little finger on his left hand, which was cut off a year ago. One finger is worth 5,000 yuan, which is the gambling price in the village.If two more of his right hand were cut off, Huang Dawu would not be able to gamble in his life.There is no way to bet that there is any energy in living, it is more uncomfortable than dying.Huang Dawu was not reconciled, so he insisted on gambling whatever he said, and bad luck would always follow him if he didn't believe it.I also have a day to stand up!Standing by the side of the road, Huang Dawu uttered a harsh word.Next, he has to think about where to escape. This time, it should be farther away. It is best to find a place that no one knows, delay him for three to five months, collect some capital, and then come back.Looking at one car after another on the road, Huang Dawu couldn't help but put his hand into his pocket, and his empty pocket told him that he can't go anywhere, and can only wait for the creditors to catch him.He raised his hand, and the dazzling car lights flashed from time to time in the dark night, making that hand appear and disappear like a ghost.This is my hand, this is the hand that made me lose more and more bets, and lose so much that my wife still hasn't lost!But my wife is definitely not safe, if I haven't chased him for a while, my wife must be confused.Thinking of this, his heart ached for a while, very sharp, but it passed quickly, far less painful than losing money.He thought, would they strip their wives naked or leave behind a cloak of shame, would they fuck one by one or all three together?These issues are actually not important, nor are they things he has to think about. He just has to rely on these unimportant issues to disturb himself, and don't think about important issues.The important problem is that he doesn't have any money, and he needs money to escape by car!He squatted on the side of the road resentfully, holding his head in his hands. If he had the courage at this time, he could really crash into those speeding cars, and if he was lucky, he could even make a fortune.But does he have the courage, mother! Just after cursing, a miracle happened, a car really came on a rampage, like red-eyed, it didn't care about anything, and rushed straight at him!Damn, I'm crazy, I'm crazy, he flicked and jumped under the roadside ditch, and then heard a sound, very violent and sharp, like a silver dollar smashing an earthen jar.When he raised his head again, he saw a pool of blood, a motorcycle flying up, and two people ejected from the car. The car miraculously stayed on the side of the road, blocked by the guardrail, and did not fall.For many days afterward, he was thinking, why did he put it on hold? If it fell, maybe he could make a little fortune.Because the driver who got out afterwards looked like a rich man, with his hair split, a suit, and an official stomach.The kid who climbed out from the side looked like a driver.Huang Dawu was stunned for a moment, seeing them walking towards him, he was so frightened that he said "Oh my god", he put oil on his feet, and ran away. It's bad luck to see things you shouldn't see, and it's even more bad luck to see blood in the dark!Having been a gambler for half his life, Huang Dawu is superstitious about this.This is the same as seeing other people teaming up at the poker table. If you don't say it, you will panic. If you say it, they will kill you. The sudden car accident that night frightened Huang Dawu so much that his mind was not so clear.Later, he regretted it and ran away. It wasn't that I hit someone with a car!But at that time, Huang Dawu couldn't think of this level. It was as if he had bumped into someone. He ran desperately, even rolling and crawling, so that he lost his way and didn't know where he was going. up.In the middle of the night, his footsteps slowed down. He listened to the back and found no footsteps following him, so he breathed a sigh of relief.Later, he went into a village and stole two sheep, so he had to get some travel expenses anyway.Huang Dawu is good at stealing sheep. If he loses a bet, he will steal. Not only sheep, but also cattle.Sometimes they even steal from women, and it really happened a few times.Hehe, Huang Dawu laughed out loud in the dark night, and soon his heart darkened.Huang Dawu thought of his own woman. Once he ran away, the woman would no longer be his own. It would be cheaper for those gamblers. Damn, wait, one day I win money and take your wife, The girl got it all done.Huang Dawu took a sip, and vowed not to think about women anymore, a good man has ambitions everywhere, he comforted himself like this. Huang Dawu finally fled to Montenegro, where he carried coal for more than half a year.Finally having money again, he came back excitedly, wanting to plunge into the gambling table and get him a hundred and eighty thousand.Unexpectedly, the first time I gambled, I lost again, losing everything.He stared at the sky in despair, really wanting to "fuck" the sky, why are he so closed-eyed? Unexpectedly, the sky opened his eyes, and Huang Dawu picked up the news on the street.When people gathered around the woman Su Zi who was kneeling on the street, he also squeezed in, and heard in his ears, as if people were talking about a car accident, and they talked about Huang Dawu until that night.mother!Why am I so stupid, stupider than a donkey, is that the driver, is that the secretary of the county party committee!No wonder it looked familiar at the time, and I thought it was a gambler who had fought against him some time ago.That's how good luck came, and it couldn't be stopped.Really can't stop it.What is blocked by good luck is Taozi's happiness. Tao Zi has firmly believed that no amount of money can stop this mouth. This mouth does not grow on human beings. It is a bottomless pit, just like hell.Tao Zi has already firmly believed that she has fallen into hell and it is impossible to escape, but she still foolishly holds on to hope and wants to escape, not only escapes by herself, but also wants to drag Zheng Yuan into her life.She smiled bleakly, and then remembered that gaze, Huang Dawu's gaze.What kind of gaze is that, as soon as it rests on your body, it will tear you apart. It is not enough to tear you apart, and you want to lie on your shame for a long time.Every time he was torn apart, the shame deepened. This is far from enough, Tao Zi knows what the villain wants. brute! The interrogation of Kang Yongsheng was quickly turned into a state of secrecy, and no one except Li Yu and his assistants was allowed to touch the case.All Wushui County public security officers who had already been involved in the case withdrew and took on new tasks.Li Chunjiang only said at the meeting: "We used to be colleagues with him, and we should avoid him according to discipline." He didn't mention a word about anything else. Back in Sanhe, Li Chunjiang immediately ordered Lao Zeng to be tough on Pan Caizhang quickly, even prying his mouth open.From Li Chunjiang's face, Lao Zeng saw a desperate attitude, and thought, there might be some pressure again. Almost at the same time, Wu Dagong was also dispatching troops to do another kind of struggle.Half an hour ago, Wu Dagong and Deputy Prosecutor Xiang just finished meeting. Although everyone pretended to be calm and said haha, there was an unspeakable fear in their hearts.No one is looking forward to the emergence of a miraculous force that can restore the turbulent Sanhe to its original calm.This is obviously a delusion. The key now is to form an offensive and defensive alliance, and then start from all aspects to put pressure on Machiming and the others. Cooperating with Deputy Attorney General Xiang is also a last resort. It would be foolish to want to remain independent at this time.Wu Dagong was determined not to listen to Tang Ping's dissuasion, but to go his own way. The falling out with Tang Ping was after returning from the provincial capital.Wu Dagong did not expect that Ma Qiming would fight with him.Damn it!For many days afterwards, Wu Dagong cursed Ma Qiming with gnashing of teeth.Of course, what he hated more was Ouyang Zilan. That day Ouyang Zilan was more enthusiastic than ever. After going upstairs, Ouyang Zilan made him a cup of high-quality silver needles and asked enthusiastically about Tang Ping, mainly about her body.Wu Dagong was very impatient, and felt uncomfortable being held hostage.His eyes traveled back and forth on this mature and charming woman, trying to see through her mind or conspiracy.Yes, conspiracy.Meeting in this way, he couldn't help but doubt Ouyang Zilan's intentions.Sure enough, after getting to the point, the real intention behind Ouyang Zilan's enthusiasm jumped out without any concealment. "Da Gong." Ouyang Zilan called him like this, which was more cordial and lively than calling Director Wu in ordinary times. Once her soft voice was premeditated, it would be very dangerous, because a man's reason is often overwhelmed by that kind of bewitching voice. Feminine tenderness evolves into something else.Wu Dagong later thought, that thing is called delusion, another element of desire, no man would not be willing to die drunk in a gentle town, let alone a gentle town created by a woman like Ouyang.That day Wu Dagong remained vigilant, not even daring to touch the water glass. "I invited you here to open up and have a good talk with you." Ouyang Zilan was talking, and sat gently opposite him, so close that he could even smell her mint-like body fragrance.Wu Dagong twisted his nose, trying to refuse the smell. Ouyang Zilan didn't care at all, she seemed to want to draw Wu Dagong into a trap on purpose.That being the case, Wu Dagong wanted to go all out to see what she and Ma Qiming would do together. "Presumably you also know about my relationship with Mei Han and his wife." Ouyang Zilan smiled lightly, and moved the enemy in his heart to the table.Wu Dagong hated in his heart, pretended to be serious, and listened attentively.Ouyang Zilan continued: "Last time Qiming didn't do that with you, I think he was right." What?Wu Dagong almost bounced off the sofa.He was right, so why did you write that letter?He questioned in his heart, staring at Ouyang Zilan with a slightly menacing gaze.He would like to hear, how does this woman, who keeps talking about gratitude, explain it? "Later I also thought about it, you are really not suitable for that seat. Now that you are in the seat, it is a bit redundant to say these things. But Dagong—" Although Ouyang Zilan spoke lightly, her words hit Wu Dagong's heart hard.Wu Dagong really didn't expect that the seat that the couple struggled and spared no effort to get was so insignificant to Ouyang Zilan.Originally, this woman never thought of helping him sincerely, and most likely even blocked him secretly.Poor Tang Ping still has so much confidence in her.Just when he was angry about his poor wife, Ouyang Zilan's "but" came out. Behind this "but", was what Ouyang Zilan really wanted to say, and it was these words that made Wu Dagong's life and world a reality. Subverted. In a word, Ouyang Zilan asked him to immediately stop his steps and go on the path of evil.Back and forth, she even used such a word.Her seemingly concerned language was actually full of warnings or threats. She pointed out a way for Wu Dagong, the so-called bright way, to surrender himself! "I'm very sorry. I never thought you would go this way. If Qiming hadn't told me in detail, I would have been kept in the dark..." While Ouyang Zilan was still talking, Wu Dagong's angry body bounced up.How can he sit down? Is he really going to wait for her to peel off the hard coat of his heart like a sheepskin alive?He left angrily, and the door behind him slammed with a shattering scream.What crashed together was also the goodwill and respect for this woman. That night, Wu Dagong stayed at the old man's house.He seldom comes here on weekdays. Before Tang Zhengye was in Sanhe, he had relatively more opportunities to go, and he didn't talk much when he went, but just asked about his body symbolically.Tang Zhengye has always had a kind of regret for his son-in-law, no matter how far he struggles, Tang Zhengye always has reasons to criticize or criticize him.In this regard, he is strikingly similar to his daughter Tang Ping, as if their father and daughter are here to criticize him.Due to his psychological unhappiness, Wu Dagong never regarded him as his relative, just an elder who had to visit during the holidays, but that day, his footsteps were erratic, and somehow brought him there.Later, he thought, maybe it was because he suffered too much from Ouyang Zilan, and he was eager to get relief, or even encouragement.He thought that Tang Zhengye, who had the same rough life, might give him a little wisdom, a little confidence, even the courage to take revenge at this critical moment.The facts made him even more desperate. Tang Zhengye's tone was almost the same as Ouyang Zilan's, and his words were even worse than Ouyang Zilan's! Damn it!Wu Dagong, who never swears, couldn't help but cursed in his heart. When he came back from the provincial capital, he didn't speak to Tang Ping for a week. Tang Ping had to say that every word he said now might lead to a quarrel in the family. Instead of that, it's better to keep silent.A few days later, Tang Ping suddenly received a call from her father, asking if Wu Dagong had surrendered himself? surrender?Tang Ping looked surprised, not understanding what her father said.After figuring out what happened, Tang Ping got angry at her father on the phone: "Dad, what did you say? Is there anyone who acts like a father?" : "What are you doing in the provincial capital? Why are you crying for my father? You are sick!" Wu Dagong couldn't bear it anymore, and when he thought about the faces of the father and daughter, he yelled angrily: "I'm sick, my brain has water, okay?" Tang Ping is not to be outdone, how many years have been married, when did Wu Dagong yell at her, and now he has just become the chief of the bureau, and he has shown such a face, how will he live in the future? "Okay, surnamed Wu, your wings are hard, you don't need me anymore, dare to play tricks with me? I can let you go, and I can also let you die!" Tang Ping said from the bottom of her heart. If Wu Dagong really doesn't Looking around, she can do anything. "Then you go, go to Ouyang Zilan, go to Ma Qiming, didn't you make a plan?" This is a serious statement, and it hurts Tang Ping's heart too much. How can Tang Ping bear it?That night, the two had a fierce fight, which was the first and most ruthless fight between Wu Dagong and Tang Ping after more than 20 years of marriage.The fierce battle lasted until the next morning. Tang Ping almost turned on the liquefied gas and set the house on fire. Later, she carried a kitchen knife and chased Wu Dagong all over the house.Wu Dagong was afraid now. If he slowed down, Tang Ping, who was already crazy, might have chopped the kitchen knife at his head. Wu Dagong didn't go to work for two days, and took care of Tang Ping like a mental patient. He didn't get away until her father rushed over after receiving the call.But his heart could no longer return to that so-called home. Wu Dagong is now fighting to the death, and he can only succeed and not fail, otherwise, even if Ma Qiming and the others can let him go, Tang Ping won't get anything cheap for him.Wu Dagong called Deputy Attorney General Xiang again and asked him how the arrangements were going?He said mysteriously to the Deputy Chief Prosecutor: "Old Wu, have you heard the wind?" "What's the rumor?" Wu Dagong's heart tightened, he was afraid to tell the deputy chief prosecutor something terrible. "Zheng Yuan." "What--?" Ma Qiming and Yuan Bo received a letter at the same time, the letter was typed on a computer, in which it reported that Zheng Yuan, secretary of the Wushui County Party Committee, had run over and killed a farmer couple while drunk on the evening of November 20 last year.In order to keep his seat, Zheng Yuan asks the driver Tao Shi to take the blame. Later, under the guise of taking care of Tao Shi's family, Zheng Yuan forcibly takes Tao Shi's wife as his own and transfers her to the government department.When Tao Shi heard the news, he was so distressed that he committed suicide in the detention center.In order to deceive others, Zheng Yuan encouraged Tao Shi's wife to petition everywhere, trying to put the crime on the prison guards.After the incident came to light, Zheng Yuan hired murderers to kill people many times in an attempt to silence her, causing Su Zi to have a mental breakdown.What's more serious is that Li Chunjiang, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, not only did not investigate the truth of the incident and severely punish the perpetrators according to the law after learning the truth, but used his power to forcibly block the news in an attempt to connive and cover up the real culprit of the car accident.At the end of the letter, I wrote: Is this the world of the Communist Party or the world of individual people? Is there justice in the world? Whose interests are the laws protecting? After reading half of the letter, Secretary Yuan Bo tore it up angrily.Wasn't November 20 last year the day when he talked to Zheng Yuan?He overcame many obstacles and insisted that Zheng Yuan be promoted to the Sanhe Municipal Party Committee.On this day, Deputy Secretary Tong of the Provincial Party Committee finally stated his position, saying that the Provincial Party Committee agreed with his suggestion in principle, and that Zheng Yuan had indeed done a good job over the years and was a malleable talent.After Deputy Secretary Tong finished his compliment, he changed the subject and said that the matter had not been finalized yet, and Zheng Yuan was required to be ready for the inspection by the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department.He immediately called Zheng Yuan, conveyed Deputy Secretary Tong's intentions to him tactfully, and asked Zheng Yuan to work harder in his work, striving to pass the examination smoothly.Unexpectedly, Zheng Yuan called the next day and said that he had considered this matter again and again, so let's put it aside for now.It made him very passive at the time, but thinking about it now... No!Don't think so!Secretary Yuan Bo grabbed the phone decisively and said to Ma Qiming, "Come to me right away." After Ma Qiming arrived, Secretary Yuan Bo was still furious.No matter what, Secretary Yuan Bo still didn't believe there was such a thing.Hit someone with a car, how could that happen?It must be spreading rumors, framing, making something out of nothing, and fabricating facts!He said several words in one breath.When Ma Qiming saw it, he had a clue in his heart, and said with a smile, "It's just an anonymous letter, so there's no need to get angry." "Is this an ordinary letter?" Secretary Yuan Bo became more and more annoyed, "Why do you have to write it at this time? This is creating confusion and confusing the public. , asked Ma Qiming: "What do you think of this?" Ma Qiming didn't answer right away. Obviously, he had his own opinion on this matter, but Secretary Yuan Bo was so excited that he couldn't express it.Secretary Yuan Bo didn't mind his attitude, and said with a heavy heart: "Qiming, they are stirring up muddy water. If this continues, Sanhe will definitely let them stir up a mess." This is exactly what Ma Qiming was worried about, and it was precisely because of this that he hesitated all the time, not daring to approach the truth of the incident.He was afraid that once Zheng Yuan's matter was revealed, the other party would shift the focus of the struggle without hesitation. "No, you have to step up your efforts. If necessary, you can take some extraordinary measures." Secretary Yuan Bo seemed to have made up his mind suddenly. Ma Qiming said: "The most important thing right now is the lack of police force, and they are very passive in their work." Secretary Yuan Bo pondered for a while and said, "How about this, you go down your own way to investigate first, let me think about the issue of police force." Back in the office, Ma Qiming took out the anonymous letter again and read it again from beginning to end, his eyes fixed on the paper for a long time.In his heart, there seemed to be many voices asking questions. After a long while, he got up, gently tore up the letter, and threw it into the wastebasket. When Ji Xiaofei came home, she suddenly saw Tong Xiaoniu sitting on her sofa. "You...how did you come in?" Just as Ji Xiaofei was about to turn around and run out, Tong Xiaoniu had rushed over and grabbed her. "It's not easy to get into your house?" Tong Xiaoniu violently lifted Ji Xiaofei and pushed him down on the sofa. "Let me go!" Ji Xiaofei screamed. "Listen!" Tong Xiaoniu's voice was higher than Ji Xiaofei's, "I don't want to hurt you today, and you'd better not force me, if you are sensible, just sit down obediently." After speaking, he stared at Ji Xiaofei fiercely.Ji Xiaofei was in shock, panting hard, Tong Xiaoniu looked at her like this, and laughed, "You are so brave, you dare to fight against me?" It took a while for Ji Xiaofei to calm down, probably because Tong Xiaoniu didn't bring a thug, she was not so afraid anymore. "Let me ask you, what did you find out about me?" Tong Xiaoniu put one foot on the coffee table, holding a knife in his hand, while playing with it, he stared at Ji Xiaofei eerily. Forced by the cold light, Ji Xiaofei couldn't help shrinking back. "Tell me, what did you find out about me?" "Get out, or I will call the police!" "Call the police? Report now or later, do you want me to dial '110' for you?" Tong Xiaoniu's voice was full of sarcasm. Seeing Ji Xiaofei's trembling, he smiled with satisfaction. With the hair scattered on her forehead, one hand caressed her face. "Such a beautiful face, if it is scratched twice, it will not be so beautiful." "How dare you!" Although Ji Xiaofei said this, her voice was visibly trembling.Tong Xiaoniu put away the knife and said: "I want you to do one thing, if you listen to me, the grievances between you and me will be wiped out." "What...what's the matter?" Ji Xiaofei asked subconsciously. "Sit down, don't be so afraid of me, I don't have that kind of thought today, so don't keep acting like a virgin." Tong Xiaoniu pulled a stool and sat opposite Ji Xiaofei. Ji Xiaofei pulled the open collar tighter and sat up straight. "What's your relationship with Ma?" Tong Xiaoniu asked suddenly. Ji Xiaofei was startled, she didn't expect Tong Xiaoniu to ask this. "Do you want to be a kid for him?" "You fart!" "Don't be so excited, if you dare to do it, you can do it. Look at your potential." He took out a cigarette and lit it leisurely. "Actually, it's not difficult. As long as you write down all the things between you and Ma and give it to me, I won't hold you accountable for what you did." "You are despicable!" Ji Xiaofei trembled with anger, she really didn't expect Tong Xiaoniu to say such shameless words. "Reluctance? Are you really emotional?" Tong Xiaoniu's voice suddenly became vicious, and he stared fiercely at Ji Xiaofei, the knife in his hand shone coldly. "Write or not?" "Do not write!" Snapped!Tong Xiaoniu slapped heavily, and several blood marks appeared on Ji Xiaofei's pale face. "Stinky bitch, don't give up your face, who do you think you are!" Tong Xiaoniu kicked again, Ji Xiaofei covered her stomach, crying from the pain. "Believe it or not, I killed you with one knife, dare to play with me, how capable are you? Ah!" Ye Zihe's body quickly collapsed, and she hadn't eaten a bite for several days. Li Chunjiang's heart was twisted like a knife, looking at his wife's pale face, he felt both remorse and remorse in his heart. What he regretted was that he hadn't spent a good time with his wife during these days, and left her here alone, enduring the enormous pain and suffering alone. torment.What I hate is still that woman, that woman named Chu Dan.Since that day, Ye Zihe's condition has deteriorated day by day, her spirit has also deteriorated day by day, and her temperament has become more and more violent. Ye Zihe refused to accept chemotherapy, no matter how much she persuaded her, she refused to suffer that pain again, as if she had made up her mind to leave this world.Dodo cried and begged her, Ye Zihe closed her eyes tightly, and let the tears fall like autumn rain, but refused to listen to her daughter's persuasion, regained her spirits, and fought against death. "Father, what should we do?" Dodo pinned her hopes on her father, poor child, she has asked Li Chunjiang this way several times.Li Chunjiang didn't know how to answer, subconsciously hugged his daughter tightly, and kept stroking her hair, trying to give her some comfort.可是谁又给他安慰？最好的朋友郑源现在躲着他，桃子也是神神秘秘，半月没来医院了。 “爸爸。”朵朵又唤了一声，李春江猛地醒过神，不顾一切地抱起叶子荷，往化疗室走。叶子荷无力的双臂做着一种挣扎，想阻挡住李春江的脚步。 晚上九点，叶子荷终于能吃下一点儿东西了，护工玉兰熬了稀粥，小心翼翼喂她。医生办公室里，主治大夫告诉李春江，病人情况很不好，要他作最坏的打算。李春江的心猛的一黑，险些栽倒。 晚上十一点，叶子荷又有力气说话了，她把朵朵和护工玉兰支开，抓着李春江的手说：“春江，你就别费心思了，就让我安安静静走吧。”李春江的泪哗一下奔出来：“子荷，你要坚强，你一定要坚强……”叶子荷苦苦一笑：“春江，我还不坚强吗，只是这坚强，有什么用？”叶子荷怅叹一声，悲凉地说：“谁能阻挡住死神的脚步，春江，你不要太难过，朵朵大了，明年说啥也要让她去上，你……”叶子荷说不下去了，话哽在嗓子里，变成了呜咽。两个人的手紧紧握在一起，泪水淹没了一切。 很久，叶子荷止住哭，问：“春江，能答应我件事吗？” “我答应，我什么都答应，子荷，只求你不要放弃，不要放弃好吗？” “春江，桃子跟郑源可能有什么事瞒着我，你一定要问问，无论他们遇到什么事，你都要帮他们，一定要帮他们，好吗？”叶子荷的泪再一次涌出来，这是为朋友流的，也是为她自己流的。她知道，自己没多少日子了。 第二天晚上，李春江刚走进住院部，腿猛地被人抱住了。“救救我，李局长，救救我啊！他们要杀我——” 哀号的是朱牤儿。朱牤儿这一次，几乎是从刀尖上奔下命的。 两天前，朱牤儿悄悄从亲戚家摸出来，先在那个小村子边上装模作样走了一圈，确信没有跟踪他的人，才拦了一辆农用三轮，往朱王堡方向去。天黑时分，三轮车开进村子，朱牤儿远远瞅了一眼自己的家，没进，而是掉头朝北山那边走。山村的夜，极静，狗似乎熟悉朱牤儿的气息，也没怎么叫，月亮还没来得及出来，夜色严严地覆盖着大地。 朱牤儿沿着曲曲弯弯的山道走了大约二十分钟，突然脚下一蹿，拐进一条深幽的小山谷。这山谷叫乌鸦谷，大炼钢铁时曾人山人海，红旗插满了山谷，到处燃着烈火，四乡八邻的山民都被集中到这，建炉炼钢。后来遇上那场百年不遇的大饥荒，包括朱王堡在内的七个村子，二千多号人饿死在山野，一时饿殍遍野，尸首来不及埋，就抬进这沟。四野的乌鸦闻风而来，吃得两眼血红，飞都飞不动，整日蹲山梁山哇哇地叫，叫得人毛骨悚然。
