"What did Guan Buzhang talk about with you today?" Qiu Tong said.

I lit a cigarette, took two breaths and said, "I talked about three aspects. The first is about my adjustment, which comforted and encouraged me for a long time; The second is about whether Qin Lu and I have that kind of relationship. Let me tell the truth; The third is to talk to me about being an official for most of the day. "

"About your relationship with Qin Lu:" Qiu Tong looked a little nervous: "what does he mean by asking? What does it mean to tell you the truth? "

"Care. Under the banner of care, I want to know what my relationship with Qin Lu is. " I said.

"What did you tell him?" Qiu Tong said.

"I'll tell you the truth. I said Qin Lu and I were classmates and friends, but they were just ordinary friends. There was no such relationship." I said it with deliberate understatement.

"Oh, did he believe it?" Qiu Tong said.

"I don't know whether he believes it or not, but I'm telling the truth. If he doesn't believe it, I can't help it." I said: "however, looking at his expression at that time, he seemed to believe it."

"Oh." Qiu Tong nodded, then frowned and murmured, "isn't it?"

"What?" I said.

Qiu Tong was stunned and then said, "nothing."

I think at this time, maybe Qiutong has some doubts about Guan Yunfei, but similarly, she doesn't have any conclusive evidence. She can only doubt, and doubt can't be brought to the table.

Since she doesn't say, I won't ask.

"Guan Yunfei told me two stories, suggesting that I should know myself clearly, that I should understand his support for me, and that I should know how to be grateful and repay." I said.

Qiu Tong frowned and meditated.

A bottle of Baijiu was drunk by me and Qiu Tong.

After drinking, I should start.

The setting sun in winter hangs in the southwest sky, and the sun shines weakly and lazily on the desolate mountains.

Carrying my bags, I said goodbye to Qiu Tong and my fourth brother, and then strode to the depths of the mountain.

When I came to a mountain, I looked back. Qiutong still stood in place from a distance and looked at my direction.

Autumn Tong's figure in the winter sun looks very lonely and lonely.

My heart suddenly overflowed with great sadness and desolation, as well as incomparable love and attachment.

Looking back at the slanting winter sun in the endless sky, I suddenly felt that the sun was a little dazzling.

I lowered my head and rubbed my eyes.

The road is ahead. Although it is a path, I must go on.

The days in the living base are hard and boring.

The living facilities in the base are very simple. There is no Internet, no cable TV, no bar, no coffee shop, no teahouse, no heating. It's OK during the day. You can keep company with those chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs and chat with the employees of the base. It's the most difficult at night. The only entertainment is to lie on the cold bed board and cover two thick quilts, Watch a few programs on TV alone.

The worst thing is that I can't take a bath. I work in a sweat during the day. I have to take a bath in a town more than ten kilometers away from here, where there is a public bath.

I only went to the bath once. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the pool water floating with ash in the sour steam, and immediately turned around and ran back.

No way, I'll boil water and take a bath myself. Although it will be very cold, it can at least be clean.

After arriving at the base, I only met the director and the workers, but I didn't see the deputy directors, including Su Dingguo.

"There are workers working here. All directors are from the headquarters. They are delicate. They can't stay here and have nothing to do. They will return to the city in a few days and get busy with their own affairs. Every once in a while, when the leaders came to inspect, as soon as the leaders left, they said hello and disappeared again. That is, I am here all day with the workers to share joys and hardships, and work hard to provide logistics supplies and holiday benefits for the group's cadres and employees. " The director told me that it was like complaining and showing merit.

After listening to his words, I didn't say anything, just smiled.

"If director Yi can't stand the hardships here, it's OK to go back to the city. It's winter now and there's little work. These live workers can do it. They don't have to suffer here all day. If the leaders come to inspect and need to come back, I will say hello to you in advance. " The director added.

I still smiled and didn't speak.

The director looked at me. I didn't speak. I looked confused and seemed a little unhappy.

It seems that he doesn't welcome me to stay here.

Looking at his expression, I said, "director, I've just come here. I should do well. I can't sneak away immediately. It's a bad influence."

The director seemed to hear something from me, smiled and left.

In fact, I don't want to go back to the city for the moment. I want to be quiet here for a few days.

It seems to show my attention and welcome. At noon that day, the director arranged for the workers to kill a sheep and make a big pot of sheep. Then I informed other deputy directors. I heard that I was sent here, and several deputy directors came to meet me.

In addition to the director of the base, the deputy directors here were sent here for labor reform for various reasons.

The living base in the mountains has become a place for the group to exile cadres and workers.

The lunch was a big one, with a big pot of sheep. Everyone ate and drank a lot and drank a little too much.

During this period, Su Dingguo and I talked alone.

Su Dingguo already knew about me. He sighed for a while and then mentioned it here.

"Our deputy directors are not in the base all day. The director must have nagged in front of you?" Su Dingguo said.

I laughed.

"It's typical of him to sell well when he gets cheap." Su Dingguo said, "in fact, you know, the director wants us not to be here. No matter who stays here for a few days, if he doesn't leave, his face will pull the local elder."

"Why?" I said.

"The director regards the living base as his own private plot and his own farm. Most of the employees working here are recruited by himself. They are relatives of seven aunts and eight aunts. In addition to supplying meat and vegetables to the group on time and in quantity, he also gets a lot of benefits and makes some small moves in private.

He's not afraid that the workers know what he does, but if we stay here every day, won't it make him feel very uncomfortable? After all, he still has some taboos against us. Therefore, he thinks we are in the way here. He wants us not to come every day.

For one thing, we can't stand the hardships here and don't want to live here. For another, since the director doesn't welcome us to live here, why should we look ugly? So I'll just fish for three days and dry the net for two days. If I have something to do, I'll come and meet you face to face. If I have nothing to do, I'll be busy in the city. In this way, everyone is happy and good for everyone. The director also turned a blind eye to this. " Su Dingguo said.

After listening to Su Dingguo's words, I suddenly realized that it's true. The director doesn't welcome me to live here for a long time. He thinks I'm in the way here.

I know.

"You know what to do?" Su Dingguo looked at me with a smile.

I can't help but appreciate Su Dingguo's reminder to me and say, "I know, but even so, I don't intend to return to the city for the moment. Since I'm here, I'll stay here for a few days."

"Hehe. It doesn't matter to live, but you should coordinate your relationship with the director. This local rich man doesn't need to provoke him. " Su Dingguo said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Alas." Su Dingguo sighed: "brother, I really didn't expect you to be sent here. If you come here, even if you enter the reform through labor camp, it's hard to make a difference. Like Tang Liang, he is extremely lucky. Few are as lucky as him. "

I said, "if you don't stand out, you won't stand out. It's good to stay away from the disputes of the group here. You're at ease."

"Where there are people, there are contradictions and disputes. It's also inevitable here. You don't feel it when you come here. You'll know it after a long time!" Su Dingguo said.

"Maybe." I said.

"We stay here. Who will remember us. I'm afraid they've long forgotten all about us. " Su Dingguo's tone was very pessimistic.

Looking at Su Dingguo's expression, I didn't speak.

"In fact, we are now almost retired from the second tier. We don't have to go to work with wages. We can hang a name in the base, but we can be busy with our own affairs in the city. It's also a kind of comfort." Su Dingguo said with a tone of self mockery.

I nodded, "well."

"But our Zhengzhi life is over!" Su Dingguo sighed again, looking very depressed.

I don't know what to say for a moment. I understand the mood of a person who is full of desire for power and official career at such a stage. It is the greatest despair in life. Once despair, it will destroy the person's spiritual life. This is a very cruel thing.

Suddenly remembered a sentence: no desire, no desire.

After that day, I began to change. I no longer participated in any labor and activities of the base during the day. After breakfast, I went out and wandered around the surrounding mountains. I came back when it was getting dark. After dinner, I shut myself in my room and watched TV. I didn't ask anything about the base and pretended to be invisible.

In this way, the director's face began to get better and became more and more warm to me.

But in fact, he still wants me to go back to town early.

Although the director is out of sight and out of mind for me, I don't want to leave at present.

When I wander in the mountains during the day, I usually don't go too far away from the base, just a few nearby mountains. Soon I found a place suitable for practicing martial arts. In a depression behind the base, there was an open space. The ground was very flat and surrounded by dense pine forests. The environment was good.

In addition to practicing martial arts in that open space during the day, I will also climb to the highest mountain nearby, look at the surrounding mountains and the eagles flying freely in the sky.

I often look south. To the south is the sea of stars, where there is Qiutong. Then go south, try to go south, cross the Yellow River and Yangtze River, where is my hometown, the beautiful Jiangnan, where there are Haizhu and my parents.

Looking at the boundless sky, I often think of those things in the past that seem to have been far away from me, those people, those complicated, thrilling and sentimental past events, those men and women who love me, those who love me, those who hate me, and those who hate me.
