"What's going on ahead, can the car pass?" Lei He asked.

"No, I've seen it. The mud blocked more than half of the road. People can pass, but cars can't."

"How long will it take from here to Shuikou Township?" Zhou Heng looked at Wu Qiang, "I'm asking about walking."

Wu Qiang froze for a moment, thought for a while and answered, "I'm afraid it will take two or three hours at the earliest."

The strange man in the car immediately waved his arms and shouted: "Since you have a guide, why don't you let me go back? You see that the road ahead is also blocked, and it's useless to carry me as a burden."

Zhou Heng smiled grimly: "You want to go back? How? Go back?"

The man was crying, "Don't you have two cars? Can't you give me one?"

Zhou Heng touched his chin and patted his shoulder, "It's okay to let you go, but you have to do something for me."

"what's up?"

"One, tell the TV station about the flood in Shuikou Township, and two, notify the Road Administration Bureau and ask them to send a forklift to the road, and say that it's Secretary Zhou's request."

"People may not believe me."

"Believe it or not is their business, anyway, you have to do it."

"well."

Zhou Heng asked Lei He to give up the car, and told him to drive the car to the community of the family building, so that the owner of the car would not trouble them afterwards.

The remaining three men walked forward wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas. The rain was too heavy, and there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. It was useless to support the umbrellas, and the visibility was also very low.

Fortunately, there is only one road to the countryside, so there is no need to worry about getting lost. Lei He originally wanted to carry Zhou Heng on his back, but Zhou Heng refused. This is just the beginning, he is not so useless.

"What kind of broken road is this? There is a section of cement and a section of soil. The people who built the road cut corners, right?" Zhou Heng finally complained when he stepped into the mud for the third time.

Wu Qiang turned around and said: "No, there are several heavy rains in this place every summer, and there will always be landslides on the roadside, so even if it is repaired this year, some places will be buried next year. The local finances are tight, and it is impossible to allocate funds for road repairs every year. .”

"Then you never thought about reinforcing the mountain wall by the roadside with wire or cement?"

"That's a big project."

"It's better than the poor road conditions here. Didn't you say that if you want to get rich, you should build roads first?"

"Then there must be money for road repairs."

"So poor?"

Wu Qiang sighed and didn't speak. Before he came here, he didn't believe that such a poor place existed, but he had traveled to many places with Zhou Yan in the past two years, and he couldn't help but believe what he saw.

"Be careful!" Lei He grabbed Zhou Heng's waist and pulled him forward for a while. Behind them, a pile of loess fell from the slope.

Don't look at this small square of soil, if you are really pressed, you will die if you don't die.

Wu Qiang was taken aback by the movement behind him. If something happened to this young master, he would not be able to explain it when he went back.

"How about... Let's take a rest when we get to the next village?" Wu Qiang still wanted to set off by himself, not only quickly but also without burden.

"No, but you can get a bicycle. It would be even better if you have a motorcycle. How long will it take to walk on two legs?" Because of the heavy rain, they couldn't walk fast, and they had to be blocked by landslides from time to time. Zhou Heng was afraid You can't reach Shuikou Township even after dark.

"Okay." After walking for another half an hour, they arrived at a village. They found a house on the side of the road that looked good and wanted to borrow a car, but the other party was obviously not willing. Not yet?

Zhou Heng simply took out his wallet and bought two bicycles with 500 yuan, more than enough for a new car at this price, so the owner generously poured hot tea for them and gave them three pairs of rain boots.

Although Zhou Heng and the others wore raincoats, their shoes were still normal shoes, and their feet were soaked white by the rain.

Lei He drank the tea in one gulp, and took a towel to help Zhou Heng dry his feet, only to find that two big blisters had been rubbed on the soles of his feet, and the ankle was also scratched by stones.

He always felt that Zhou Heng was very delicate, and he couldn't bear any hardships because of being spoiled, but he didn't say a word during this journey.

"Does it hurt?" Lei He broke the blisters for him, put on socks and stuffed them into the rain boots. The rain boots were not new, and Zhou Heng was wearing them a little too long. Lei He was afraid that he would be uncomfortable walking, so he stuffed some cotton into them .

Zhou Heng withdrew his feet uncomfortably. It's not that he hasn't been serviced by someone to shine his feet and put on his shoes, but Lei He squatting in front of him doing this made him feel cared for.

"Fortunately, it's just a small injury." Zhou Heng can actually bear it quite well. Compared with the pain from the onset of drug addiction, this pain is too insignificant.

Wu Qiang stood aside and stared at Lei He's movements, frowning, not because of Lei He's too humble movements, but because he didn't feel that this scene was inconsistent at all.

He could tell that the relationship between the two was very good, unlike the general relationship between a young master and a bodyguard, Lei He took good care of Zhou Heng, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to please Zhou Heng.

"Are you brothers? Your brother is so kind to you." The host stuffed them with two hot eggs each. "There is nothing good in the house. This one is carrying a pad to pad his stomach. The road to Shuikou Township is not easy."

Zhou Heng nodded, the initial unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he thanked him.

The three of them set off again, and the speed was much faster with the bicycle. Zhou Heng sat on the back seat of Lei He, not even exerting any strength.

But the road was very bumpy, and Zhou Heng felt his butt hurt after sitting for a while, but there was no other way.

When they arrived in Shuikou Township, it was completely dark and the rain was much lighter. Zhou Heng showed the two of them the way with a flashlight.

"It's here, it's just ahead." Wu Qiang said, wiping the rain off his face.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes and looked, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and the visibility of the flashlight was limited.

But going forward, although they didn't see anyone, they heard people's voices and the cries of children.

"Go over and have a look!" Without Zhou Heng's urging, Lei He and Wu Qiang had already accelerated their speed, pedaling their bicycles loudly.

After entering Shuikou Township, you can see some houses one after another. It is estimated that you have not reached the center, so the houses are scattered, and there are villagers standing at the door talking.

Wu Qiang rushed to the door of the first family, grabbed a fellow villager and asked, "Where is Secretary Zhou? Did you see anyone else?"

"You came to look for the secretary? He went to Houyang Mountain in the evening. He heard that the landslide over there destroyed several houses, and many people went to help."

Just when Wu Qiang was about to leave, someone came running over with a handcart in the distance, shouting, "Hurry up, something happened in Houyang, Lao Xie's house was buried, and the secretary is still inside."

"What did you say?" Zhou Heng rushed to the man in a hurry, raised his eyes and asked, "What do you think happened to Zhou Yan?"

"You are……?"

"This is Secretary Zhou's younger brother. Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Wu Qiang glanced at the person on the cart. It was a villager with an injured foot.

The man said aloud: "At that time, the secretary was instructing everyone to dig people up, and finally rescued all the people buried under the house. Who knew that the secretary just went to Lao Xie's house for a drink of tea, and the old Xie's house was also collapsed." It's..."

Zhou Heng's eyes were red, and he didn't have time to ask more questions, so he grabbed someone and ran towards Houyang Mountain.

In addition to the three of them, the young and middle-aged people in the village also spontaneously brought hoes and shovels to help.

Because of the heavy rain, the electricity in the village was also cut off, and it was impossible to have street lights on the road. Zhou Heng simply asked Lei He to run with his back this time, since Lei He could see it at night anyway.

Houyang Mountain is very close to Shuikou Township, and it takes only ten minutes to get there. The houses in this place are backed by the mountains, and they are all civil structures. After a whole day of heavy rain, they look really precarious.

Feeling the trembling of the person on his back, Lei He comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother won't be so unlucky, I will definitely rescue him."

"Well, my brother has been fine in his previous life, so it doesn't make sense for him to have an accident at such a young age." Saying this, Zhou Heng unconsciously tightened his hand on Lei He's shoulder, his face flushed with nervousness.

After Lei He entered the village, he knew where Zhou Yan was without asking, because the collapsed house was surrounded by people, and a group of villagers were digging with hoes and other tools.

"Hurry up and find some more people, the Secretary and the Forest Bureau are here!" An elderly man was jumping around with a pipe in his mouth, looking anxious.

If the secretary died in their village, I am afraid that no leader will dare to come to them again. They are poor here, and finally came a secretary who is related to their life and death. He also specially brought the director of the Agricultural Bureau to inspect. You can't let him die here.

Zhou Heng's blood turned cold when he saw this scene. This should be a big old house, and half of it has collapsed now, and Zhou Yan was buried under it at this time, and his life and death are unknown...
