Chapter 30 [It's just because I'm in this mountain] (1)

Zuo Xiaoqing whispered to Zhang Yang: "That girl is so beautiful!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's not as beautiful as you. She is as cold as ice. Your flesh is round and very realistic!"

Zuo Xiaoqing was still very happy when she heard Zhang Yang say that she was beautiful, but the following words immediately made her laugh and cry. How could she describe him like this? Besides, is he as fat as he said? Zuo Xiaoqing stretched out her slender hand and twisted Zhang Daguanren's arm hard. Zhang Yang's face showed a look of looking at death. The will of our probationary party members is not ordinary tenacity.

Zhang Yang pointed to the van behind him and said, "Everyone get in!" He said to Chen Xue again, "Chen Xue, are you going together?"

Chen Xue hesitated for a moment, but still walked over with her schoolbag. Zuo Xiaoqing smiled friendly, waved to her, and signaled her to sit beside her.

Zhang Yang started to move the bread and drove towards the depths of the mountains along the winding mountain road. Looking at the bottomless abyss beside the road, Zuo Xiaoqing and Hong Ling, who came to Qingtai Mountain for the first time, were a little nervous. The two of them held their hands together, and Chen Xue grew up in the mountains since she was a child, naturally would not feel scared.

Chen Guowei sat on the passenger seat and his face turned pale. His courage was worse than that of several girls.

When the car was driving halfway, Zhang Yang turned off the engine. It took some skills to start again on the sloped mountain road. Zhang Yang tried several times in a row. Instead of fire, the car slipped down the hillside. Hong Ling was so scared that she screamed. Zhang Yang immediately blamed Hong Ling for this matter. It was a disaster star. Whenever he saw her, he was unlucky.

Chen Guowei sweated coldly on his head and said tremblingly: "Zhang Yang, when will you get your driver's license?"

"I haven't got it yet. I just learned it for a few days!"

"What? Driving without a license!" Chen Guowei's eyes almost fell out of fear.

Zhang Yang smiled proudly: "How is it? It's good to drive!" He twisted the key again, and the small bread rattled a few times, and stopped again. Zhang Yang was so frustrated. He originally wanted to show off in front of Zuo Xiaoqing, but now, the thing about showing his face suddenly turned into shame. Zhang Yang sighed and said, "Maybe you have to push it!"

Chen Guowei pushed open the car door and jumped down, leaned over to look down at the cliff not far away, and felt dizzy and turned around in a hurry.

The three girls sitting behind also got out of the car. Zuo Xiaoqing came to the cab and smiled and said, "Zhang Yang, come down and push the cart, I'll try it!"

"You can drive?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.

Zuo Xiaoqing took out her driver's license: "I have been getting the license for four years, and I have been awarded it normally, but being your master should be enough!"

Zhang Yang jumped out of the car happily: "That's it, you get on, I'll push you!"

Zuo Xiaoqing always felt that there was another meaning in this guy's words. After a little bit, her face became hot and she glared at Zhang Yang with anger: "The dog can't spit out ivory!"

Zhang Yang knew that Miss Zuo had seen through the ambiguity hidden in her words, and still said with a shameless face: "Why don't you push me?"

"Go to die!" Zuo Xiaoqing cursed quietly, and blushed into the cab.

Although it was four people pushing the cart, Zhang Yang and Chen Guowei were the ones who really played their role. After a distance of 50 meters, Zuo Xiaoqing successfully started the car and they got back in the car. Chen Guowei rationally chose to sit behind. He had read a report that the chance of sitting in the passenger seat in a traffic accident was the lowest, and it was better to leave the danger to others and leave the safety to himself.

Zhang Yang sat in the co-pilot with no intention. Zuo Xiaoqing's driving skills were obviously much more skilled than him. At least she would not slip like him when she started uphill. This was particularly important.

Zhang Yang was thinking about Chen Xue’s affairs while giving advice. Since he had agreed to Geng Xiuju, he had to do what he had been entrusted with loyalty. He pretended to be careless and said, “Chen Xue, why are you back today? Your mother went to the grassroots inspection work.”

"Oh!" Chen Xue still looked cold and indifferent, as if not many people in this world can disturb her mood.

"Why do I take you back to Shangqinghe Village?" Zhang Yang asked tentatively.

Chen Xue's eyes were cast to the undulating mountains in the distance and said softly: "Okay!"

Zhang Yang was secretly happy. As long as Chen Xue didn't go to the village, everything else would be easy to say. As for whether she would hear Geng Xiuju's news when she went to Shangqinghe Village, it was not the scope he could control. There was no airtight wall in this world, and it was really difficult to block all the news.

Hong Ling asked curiously behind, "Zhang Yang, didn't you say you wanted to take us to climb Qingtai Mountain? How did you arrange these two days?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Let's go to Shangqinghe Village too and go up the mountain from there. I have contacted the branch secretary there, and he will ask someone to take us up the mountain."

Hong Ling and Chen Guowei cheered at the same time, and the temptation of nature quickly offset the little fear they had when they first came.

Hong Ling said with some envy: "Zhang Yang, it seems that you are doing well here, and you even drove the car."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I haven't reached that level yet, but it should be soon!"

Zuo Xiaoqing glanced at him. This guy never knew what modesty was. A family planning office director who was not even a clerk, wanted to get a special car? I don’t know how many years it would take to survive. After being distracted, a sharp turn suddenly appeared in front of him. Zuo Xiaoqing was so scared that she slowed down and turned the steering wheel hard, and then she barely turned the corner. Hong Ling and Chen Guowei squeezed together because of the tilt, and their faces turned pale again.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Tight Shiba Pan, the most dangerous section of the road on Qingliang Mountain, Zuo Xiaoqing, don't drive carefully, drive carefully, if you fall down, we may be in the next life if we want to meet again."

Zuo Xiaoqing was also scared to death. She bit her cherry lip and hung the gear in the first gear to drive slowly. Fortunately, they were the only one of them on the mountain road, so as long as you are careful, you won’t encounter any danger.

Zhang Yang quietly looked at Chen Xue from the rearview mirror and found that she had picked up the English book again, as if the shocking scene just now had nothing to do with her. Even Master Zhang had to admire this mentality of being calm in the face of danger.

Liu Chuankui, the old branch secretary of Shangqinghe Village, admired Director Xiao Zhang very much because of the last work group, so Zhang Yang asked him to bring a few friends to Qingliang Mountain to play. Liu Chuankui immediately expressed his welcome and asked his son Liu Dazhu to make a sheep to entertain Director Xiao Zhang for lunch. This is the highest standard reception for guests.

When the car arrived at Shangqinghe Village, the pager was gone. Zuo Xiaoqing was a little worried, afraid that her parents would look for her, and at the same time there was a hint of strange novelty and excitement in her heart, just like a bird breaking out of the cage.

The van drove directly to the village committee and stopped. Liu Chuankui was already waiting under the big locust tree. When he saw Zhang Yang, he came up happily: "Director Xiao Zhang, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come!"

Zhang Yang looked at it and found that it was already eleven o'clock, and said with a smile: "The car broke down on the road, why would it have arrived early!" He handed over an Ashima: "Secretary Liu, take it to try it!"

Liu Chuankui's face immediately became stern: "I said to Director Xiao Zhang, what are you doing? We won't promote this!"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, you think I am giving you a gift. People bring it to me. Try it. Anyway, I don't smoke. Why? I'm afraid that a piece of cigarette will corrupt your party principles?"

"I'm afraid you'll have a ball!" Liu Chuankui smiled and took the cigarette, his heart warmed. Director Xiao Zhang was so good at doing things. Seeing Chen Xue coming out of the car at the end, Liu Chuankui couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He really couldn't understand how Chen Xue got together with Zhang Yang.

Chen Xue greeted Liu Chuankui: "Uncle Liu!" Then she took off her schoolbag from the car and prepared to say goodbye.

Liu Chuankui said: "Chen Xue, let's go before you have supper. It will take nearly two hours to get to your grandfather's place!"

Zuo Xiaoqing and Hong Ling also went over to try to keep them. Chen Xue hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

When the others entered the room, Liu Chuankui whispered to Zhang Yang: "Director Xiao Zhang, why didn't this child go to the hospital to accompany her mother?"

Zhang Yang understood that Geng Xiuju's incident had already reached here, so he quietly reminded: "It was Director Geng who asked me to bring her here, and that thing was hidden from her in advance, for fear of affecting her study."

Only then did Liu Chuankui understand why Chen Xue was with him, and sighed and said, "This child is pitiful. Dad died early, and Mom is like this!" Although the people in the mountains have a little lower education, they value women's chastity more than anything else. Although Geng Xiuju is the director of the township committee office, not many people in Shangqinghe Village can look down on her.

Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Where does Chen Xue's grandfather live?"

"Her grandfather is a weird man. He fought the Liberation War, fought the War of Resistance and Aggression of the United States, and later worked as an instructor at the Jianghai Military Academy. However, he was sent here at the Cultural Revolution and stayed in the mountains after he was beaten. After he was rehabilitated, he was asked to return to the city and never returned. After his son died, his temper became more and more strange, and he now lives on Qingyun Peak above."

Zhang Yang recalled Chen Xue's cold temper, perhaps her temperament was inherited from her grandfather's inheritance.

Liu Chuankui smiled and said, "We won't talk about Geng Xiuju. I won't tell her about it. I don't think others won't. After all, there are not many people who can talk to her."

The lunch was very rich. Zuo Xiaoqing, who came to the mountain for the first time, was novel about everything. Liu Chuankui patiently explained to them that because they were all young people, Liu Chuankui did not persuade him to drink much. After lunch, Zhang Yang suggested taking Zuo Xiaoqing and a few of them to the mountains to play.

Liu Chuankui sniffed and said, "The mountains are densely forested, wild animals appear, the terrain is steep, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so there is nothing good to look at when you go up."

Chen Guofeng blinked excitedly and said, "We just want to feel the original nature. Didn't Mr. Mao say that the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak?"

Liu Chuankui smiled. Chen Guofeng was about the same age as Zhang Yang, but I don’t know how much it would be. He sighed in his heart that people are indeed different. He knocked the tobacco pot on the soles of his shoes: "It’s okay to go to the mountain to see it. I will handle the village matters tomorrow morning and accompany you."

Hong Ling didn't want this old branch secretary who was so rustic in the country to follow him up the mountain. With such a local bun around her, no matter how good the scenery was, it lost its meaning of appreciation. She whispered to Zuo Xiaoqing and said, "It's still early now, let's go by yourself."

Zuo Xiaoqing looked at Zhang Yang and waited for him to make a decision. In fact, she also wanted to go hiking now, after all, they were going back tomorrow, and time was very tight.

Chen Xue, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "Why do I take you there? The scenery on Qingyun Peak is good, and I know the fun places. I live at my grandfather's house at night, and you can go to Qingyun Peak to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning!"

Hong Ling and Zuo Xiaoqing responded in unison.

Liu Chuankui narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Okay, Chen Xue is more familiar with the mountain than me. Besides, I, the old man, you young people may not have fun!" He looked at Hong Ling with deep meaning, and his deep eyes seemed to see through Hong Ling's heart. Hong Ling felt a little fainted and thought to herself, why is the old man's eyes so poisonous, as if he has seen through my thoughts.

Zhang Yang left the van in the village committee. After packing it up, the five of them walked along the road behind Shangqinghe Village to Qingyun Peak. Zhang Yang's physical strength was undoubtedly the strongest among all, so he took on the final physical work. Zuo Xiaoqing's backpack was the largest and the responsibility fell on him.

Chen Xue walked in the front. Although she looked weak, her years of experience in life in the mountainous areas made her very familiar with everything about Qingyun Peak. Although her strides were not big, her rhythm was very even and her breath was even. She walked for a long time without stopping to rest.

Zhang Yang secretly praised him. Looking at Zuo Xiaoqing beside him, his breath had become rapid. A layer of blush was covered with a white and tender face, and a few small beads of sweat had also emerged from his pretty and cute nose. Hong Ling and Chen Guowei had already fallen behind him.

Zhang Yang said, "Chen Xue, take a break before leaving!" Chen Xue pointed ahead, and a sudden huge rock blocked the mountain path. The huge rock was square and had a height of about ten meters. Chen Xue said, "This stone is called Gangzheng Stone, square. Legend has it that it was formed by the inkstone of Wenquxing falling from the sky."

Zuo Xiaoqing took out her camera and took two photos at the stone.

Chen Xue also introduced: "Seven years ago, when Governor Gu came to Qingtaishan for a trip, he also took photos in front of the stone, saying that being an official should be as square as this stone, and never be worldly and smooth. The square stone was named after that time."
