To be honest, it is impossible because I am not sure whether I can still live.
After pondering for a while, I finally said to Zhou Mo: "Okay, let's follow the two methods you mentioned."
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Zhou Mo sighed heavily and continued to mop the floor.
I think An Lan may really be heartbroken when that day comes!
If you don't die, how can you be reborn?
I just felt dazed for a while, and then dusk came.
The color of the sky is more colorful today. Looking from the balcony, there is not only a touch of pink, but also a golden color that burns like a flame. It is like a burger, wrapped in that pink color, making the whole world become like a dream.
magical.
But on the streets outside the community, the sound of car horns sounded so real.
In my daze, my cell phone rang in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it. It was a call from a number originally from Yunnan.
After the connection was connected, I asked doubtfully: "Hey, who are you?"
"Da Shan, this is Lin Xiaoyun, secretary of County Magistrate Wu Jiang."
I was stunned for a moment, because I hadn’t contacted County Magistrate Jiang for a long time, and I didn’t expect his secretary to call me.
I quickly replied with a smile: "It's Secretary Xiaojun! What's wrong? What's the matter with you? How are you, County Magistrate Jiang?"
Xiaoyun started crying on the phone, which made me feel a little baffled and had a bad premonition.
I immediately became serious and said, "Don't cry, what's going on? What happened?"
"Dashan, County Magistrate Jiangjiang is gone."
"Gone? Was he transferred?"
Xiaoyun still kept crying and didn't answer my words.
I sighed and said, "Xiaoyun, I know you like County Magistrate Jiang, but Magistrate Jiang is so young and should be promoted. This is a good thing. Why are you crying?"
"No, County Magistrate Jiang passed away."
When I heard Xiaoyun's words, I only felt a "buzzing" sound in my brain, and then I couldn't hear any sound.
It wasn't until a long time ago that I recovered from Xiaoyun's crying, but I said in disbelief: "Xiaoyun, don't make such a joke. County Magistrate Jiang is fine, how could he die?"
"Really, County Magistrate Jiang has actually suffered from esophageal cancer for a long time. He didn't tell anyone. He knew he had completely collapsed. He was still working even in the hospital but he wouldn't let me tell you."
I was so dazed that my nose suddenly felt sore and my eyes began to become moist.
How can a good person, a living person, just disappear?
My heart started to beat faster and I kept swallowing my saliva. I couldn't believe this was true.
In silence, Xiaoyun said to me again: "Dashan, County Magistrate Jiang's body will be cremated tomorrow, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, I said, "I'll be right over."
After saying that, I didn't even know how I hung up the phone. I just felt completely confused.
My legs were so weak that I couldn't stand up from the sofa until Zhou Mo heard my voice and walked over to me and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who called just now?"
I took a long breath, tried to calm down my emotions, and said, "Zhou Mo, I'm going to Yunnan now. A good friend of mine passed away, so I must go there now."
"now?"
"Yes, now." I said, taking out my phone to check the tickets.
Zhou Mo didn't ask any more questions, and immediately said to me: "Let me buy a ticket. I'll go with you. I'll take care of you."
I didn't refuse her to go with me. After buying the air tickets, we rushed to the airport without any delay.
We bought the nearest flight, and after arriving in the city, we still had to drive nearly four hours to get to Dongshan County.
It is already half past six in the evening, and it will be at least past twelve midnight when we arrive in Dongshan County, but no matter how late it is, I have to go.
On the plane, I kept my eyes closed, not daring to think about the past with Jiang Tao.
He is really a good leader who serves the people wholeheartedly, and even sold his own house to support my decision-making in the village.
The entire Yunlong County has undergone the changes it has today. It can be said that without Jiang Tao, there would be no Dongshan County today.
She is not only a good leader, but also a good friend of mine. We have like-minded ideas and we once drank and talked together on the hillside.
But now we are so far apart, how can I feel at ease?
The two-hour flight seemed like two centuries to me. I kept looking at the time and flight data.
Finally, at nine o'clock in the evening, we landed at Fuping Airport.
Zhou Mo and I still didn't stop for a moment. After leaving the airport, we took a taxi directly to Dongshan County.
This nearly four-hour drive is still so long to me.
Zhou Mo kept holding my hand, she didn't talk to me, she just wanted to use this method to make me feel at ease.
The taxi driver probably thought he had taken on a big job tonight, and he played some happy music all the way, which made me very restless.
Finally, I couldn't help but yelled at the driver: "Can you turn off the music!"
The driver still said disapprovingly: "Brother, after such a long journey, why don't you turn on some music to relax? If you think it's noisy, then I can keep it down."
Zhou Mo took over and said, "I told you to turn it off, but I didn't ask you to lower your voice."
The taxi driver glanced at me and Zhou Mo, and said in a weird voice: "I've never seen passengers like you before. Wouldn't it be better to play some music on the road? If you think it's noisy, can't I just keep it down a little bit?"
, what’s so bad?”
"Stop, stop for me, I want to get off!"
The driver braked and stopped the car. I immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
Zhou Mo glanced at me, but didn't say anything. But before getting off the bus, she said to the driver: "We didn't say you turned on the wrong music, but when you scored, one of our friends passed away. We came all the way from Chengdu
I came here just to rush for time. Do you think it’s appropriate to play this kind of music along the way?”
"Zhou Mo, don't explain to him. Come down and let's take another car." I urged Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo got out of the taxi, but the taxi was not driving, and the driver actually got out of the taxi as well.
He came to me, took out a cigarette and handed me a cigarette. He said with a smile: "What the hell, brother, I'm really sorry. I really don't know if you are really sorry. Get in the car. I won't turn on the music."
I gave him a sideways look. Actually, it's hard to get a taxi around here. If we really lose our temper and get off here, we really won't be able to go to Dongshan County.
When I was silent, the driver said to me again: "Brother, I'm really sorry. If I knew that this was the reason for you, I would definitely not turn on the music. Don't worry, I promise not to say a word on the rest of the way. It's safe."
Send you to Dongshan County."
Zhou Mo and I looked at each other and finally returned to the car.
