"It's us who should say thank you, these are all trivial matters!" The old mayor waved his hands quickly, took out his mobile phone from his body and called Secretary Liu Dong.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dong hasn't rested yet.
After hearing the old mayor explain the situation, he agreed immediately and told the old mayor that he would send a driver to wait for me on the road at the foot of Wangquan Mountain. He also asked me to send my ID number to him, saying that he would help me book the earliest flight back.
Jiangzhou.
The old mayor and Yan Na originally insisted on sending me down the mountain, but Liuyun Temple was almost in a mess inside and out. They had to stay on the mountain to direct the villagers to clean up the mess, and they had to wait for the masons who came down to pick up tools to start shooting overnight.
Carved statues of mountain gods.
After thanking me repeatedly, the old mayor asked Dongzi, Yan Erzhu and Dongzi to ride a motorcycle each to take me down the mountain. I sat on the back of Dongzi's motorcycle.
On the way, I explained to him in detail how to use the True Soul Gourd, and told him to find the soul of Chen Laosan's son as soon as possible and send it back for soul replacement.
As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a car parked on the provincial road not far away, with its eyes flashing. Standing beside the car was a chubby man, who was Secretary Liu Dong.
"I have heard what some villagers and the old mayor told me on the phone about what happened on the mountain!"
As soon as I got off the motorcycle, Liu Dong stretched out his hand to shake my hand, but his eyes fell on Dongzi's burnt hair.
"The process they described completely overturned my knowledge over the years. I even regret not going up the mountain with you." Secretary Liu Dong said with a smile.
I smiled and didn't know how to answer Secretary Liu Dong.
He continued: "I just checked the airport flights for you. The earliest flight for which you can buy tickets will not be until nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Master Hu Ling, would you like to book one for you?"
"Nine o'clock tomorrow morning is too late. Where is the train? Are there any earlier trains?" I shook my head and asked.
In my current mood, I really wish I could go back to find Coffin Chen and Coffin Xiaohui right away.
"I just checked the EMU. The earliest one is at 7:30 tomorrow morning. The speed is relatively slow. The time to get home is about the same as taking a flight."
Secretary Liu Dong paused as he spoke and then said: "Actually, I have a method.
If Master Hu Ling doesn't mind that my car is too low-grade, let our driver Xiao Chen take you back to Jiangzhou.
In fact, we are less than a thousand kilometers away from here. You can get on the expressway when you leave Yanjiadi Town, and you can reach your Jiangzhou at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest."
Of course!
Now is not the time to be polite, so I nodded quickly: "Thank you very much, Secretary Liu, and I'll spare the trouble for Master Chen!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Secretary Liu Dong waved to me quickly, and the old mayor just told me: "If it hadn't been for you and Master Dongzi today, something big would have happened in our town!
You are not only the benefactors of the entire Yanjiadi Town, but also my noble people, Liu Dong. I have been assigned to Yanjiadi Town for three years, and I will be leaving at the end of the year. If something big happens, I will do nothing.
All gone!"
I smiled, Secretary Liu Dong was quite sincere.
Many so-called big shots always make a big statement before doing anything or saying anything. They sound very noble, but in fact they are just doing it for their own future.
Liu Dong, who holds the position of secretary of Yanjiadi Town, dares to admit his selfishness, and is considered a magnanimous person.
"Since there is no problem, let's set off!" Liu Dong said, opening the back seat door for me and making a very gentlemanly gesture.
When I got in the car, he closed the rear door for me, opened the passenger door, and got in himself.
I was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until the driver, Xiao Chen, started the car that I asked, "Secretary Liu, are you also going back to the provincial capital?"
"Oh, you are from a young girl's family. I don't feel comfortable going back alone. I will take you back with Xiao Chen so that we can drive with him on the way." Liu Dong turned around and smiled at me.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. In fact, I can also drive. I can even drive for a while when Master Chen is tired." I said a little embarrassed.
Although the secretary of a small town is not a high-ranking official, I was very moved and a little flattered that he had such a heart.
"It's not troublesome, and I happen to have something to ask you. We'll discuss it in detail on the way." Liu Dong waved his hand and said.
Since he said that, I naturally couldn't refuse anymore. I was just curious if there was anything Liu Dong wanted to ask me.
Or just kind words?
No matter so much, it would be nice to go back to Jiangzhou today.
I stuck my head out of the car window, and after explaining a few words to Dongzi, Xiao Chen slowly started to drive the car.
The speed of the car was very fast, and in less than half an hour, we left Yanjiadi Town, got on the highway, and sped away in the direction of Jiangzhou.
I leaned my head on the backrest and fell asleep with my eyes slightly closed.
From last night to now, I have hardly blinked. I am indeed a little tired.
Liu Dong said he wanted to ask me something, but he never spoke, but I noticed that he glanced at me in the rearview mirror from time to time, probably to see if I was asleep or awake.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the car had already arrived at the junction of the two provinces.
I twisted my stiff neck, took out my phone and looked at the time. It was already four o'clock.
I slept so deeply that I slept for three or four hours without realizing it.
Liu Dong was still sitting in the passenger seat, and I don't know if he and driver Xiao Chen had ever switched driving.
"Master Hu Ling, are you awake?" Liu Dong turned around and looked at me.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that Liu Dong's body had somehow been contaminated with a faint, vague aura of death.
Before this, I didn't find anything unusual in him.
Did something happen on the road while I was asleep?
Thinking of this, I glanced at the back of the driver, Xiao Chen, and found nothing unusual about him.
This is a little strange.
I smiled at Liu Dong and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Secretary Liu, did you stop at the service station just now?"
"No!"
Liu Dong asked doubtfully: "Master Hu Ling, do you want it to be convenient? There will be a service station ahead for Xiao Chen to stop for a while, and I will just change with him."
"No, no, I'm just asking casually!" I waved my hand and said.
"Secretary, I'm not tired. I don't need to change. I'll tell you later when I'm really tired." Xiao Chen also said quickly.
From the driver Xiao Chen's tone, it sounded like he respected Secretary Liu Dong very much.
"Okay, we will cross the provincial border toll station soon, and we can reach Jiangzhou in three hours at most." Liu Dong nodded and said to me.
After saying that, he looked at me for a few times without wanting to speak.
"Secretary Liu, have you encountered anything strange recently?"
Looking at him like this, he probably really wanted to ask me something. My intuition told me that it must be related to the death energy on his body, so I simply asked him.
