Xiangming County, where Liu Yun’s hometown is located, is a Linjiang County with a long history and pleasant scenery. The county is full of talents, many scenic spots and historical sites, and has strong economic strength. It was once rated as an advanced county town in the country. I heard from locals that this county town was originally very poor, but later it developed rapidly because of the arrival of a red-backed bird.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong led the Daxi Army to Changsha. Zhaozong, who was in his prime, fled south with his father and lost the two in Dong'an. He was eventually captured by the Daxi Army and was taken to this place. Seeing that the capital was getting closer and closer, he was rebellious to cover Zhaozong to escape. Zhang Xianzhong was furious and raised his gun and wanted to kill him quickly. However, with a blue beak, a big red bird on his back suddenly flew from the east, and in the blink of an eye, he carried Zhaozong south. Three years later, Zhaozong ascended the throne in Zhaoqing and became emperor, changing the year name to Yongli. That month, he came here again to find the life-saving divine bird to catch him back to the palace and imprison him in a cage.

The Japanese tame was used as a service driver. He never wanted to go here and search for it, so he visited the villagers from house to house to find their whereabouts. At first, the villagers were quite resistant and unwilling to tell them, saying that this big bird was the guardian saint of the mountains and forests, and living here could ensure peace and peace, and protect the other side of the weather. If they were caught, wouldn't it be a silence and peace to ignore the villagers' stability? But who knew that after Zhaozong presented several boxes of gold and silver goods, the villagers' attitude changed suddenly. Not only did they tell the truth, but they personally led them to the big bird's nest. Unfortunately, the big bird was not even hatched, but because of struggle and struggle to resist, he was shot to death by Zhaozong in the nest.

It is really a magical bird. Even after his death, he still cares about the people of the country. After Zhaozong left, several tobacco with red flowers grew in the place where his nest was located, and the number increased day by day. Within half a year, it became dense and prosperous, spreading across the mountains and forests. Since then, this land has become the name of "Tobacco Hometown". Its effects can be used to protect the cold of wind and frost, ward off evil spirits and poisons, eat to cure diseases, and absorb the body and mind. In modern times, it has directly increased the country's fiscal revenue, maintained and promoted social stability and economic development. Since the 1990s, the tax payment quota has continued to rank first in all industries, which is an indispensable contribution.

Xiangming County's economic development has also flourished. As early as three years ago, the region's GDP reached 300 billion yuan, directly entering the top five in the good cities, and the per capita income has also increased significantly. The people live and work in peace and contentment and are happy.

On the highway.

"Well...?" Liu Mengtian finally woke up, then pushed her arms and stretched, then looked out the car window with sleepy eyes.

"The Liangcheng North Service Area." Liu Yun unscrewed the water in his hand and handed it to Liu Mengtian's hand. "Are you sleeping for so long? Is it sleepy?"

"That's all, I'm not going to say that I often stayed up late to record videos during this period and couldn't sleep well!"

"Thanks for your hard work.."

While he was talking, the car suddenly turned around and drove directly into the service area. It turned out that the driver was in a long stand and was exhausted. He needed to change shifts with another driver who had been waiting here for a long time. After the car stopped, Liu Yun originally wanted to get off the bus and take a walk around. After all, many passengers went to the toilet, so it was boring to wait in the car. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the car door, he met an acquaintance, and this acquaintance happened to be the shift changer of the driver before.

"Uncle Jiang, long time no see, why? I quit my previous job and came to be a driver?"

"Hey, it's you." Uncle Jiang replied listlessly, not as if he was willing to talk to him about the past.

"What's wrong with Uncle Jiang? I'm in a bad mood? Is it happening?" Liu Yun felt regretful after asking, because this neighbor from his hometown was worried and bored for a long time after experiencing the demolition a while ago, and has not been able to relieve himself until now, so he always looks bitter and revenge on weekdays. After all, among all the houses that have been demolished, his family is the largest courtyard and the most "Well, sorry... Uncle Jiang, don't worry, those scammers will be brought to justice sooner or later! The law will give you an explanation!"

"It's not a liar. The group of leaders who came to inspect before were indeed very good. They just played a play with their client."

"acting?"

"Yes, so many houses have been demolished, so much arable land has been filled, and so many compensation recipients have not been solved by a small amount, but who is willing to make up for this big hole? Are you willing? And judging from their attitude, there seem to be more powerful people leading the way, but we just can't figure out the way, just watching in despair, struggling dyingly..."

"Don't--" As soon as Liu Yun said, he heard a ringtone from his cell phone coming from his pocket. It turned out that Wang Zhenxiang called "Brother Xiang? What's going on? Is the matter resolved?"

"Brother, those seals on the contract are fake! We were cheated!"

"What? Fake?"

"Yes, it's useless! People don't recognize it at all. Instead, they say that we intend to frame the contractor. If we don't bow to him, we will bear all the consequences! You can think of a solution for us!"

"Well... that's OK! I'll go to Mr. Wen to discuss it." Liu Yun was confused. In the end, everything Xue Cui'e did was futile, and she couldn't even know life and death.

"Where are you now?"

"On the way home, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Go back early and get together with everyone!"

"New Year...I'm here."

"Give it aside!" Everyone has returned from the toilet.

"That Brother Xiang... won't talk about it for now, let's contact you if you have time!"

After another three hours, the car finally got off the highway and drove into Xiangming County. The cars on the highway were already full of mountains and seas, and there were endless streams. There were even more and more crowded cars on the national highway, but this did not affect the mood of the two. Anyway, they had returned to their hometown after many days of separation. What if they could step into the house one moment earlier or one moment later? Even the air became sweeter.

When he arrived at the Cross-River Bridge, Liu Yun clearly felt something strange about the car body. He didn't know whether it was a human influence or his own problem. The whole car was shaking, crooked, and seemed to be inclined. After a while, the amplitude became larger and larger, which made the passengers frightened and exclaimed, "Master, what's going on?"

"Is the road bad? Why is it so shaking?"

"I'm going to vomit..."

"Master, are you drinking? Is the momentum coming up?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How can you drive after drinking? Don't want to live?"

"Yes, I just don't want to live anymore! And I want you to bury me with me!" Uncle Jiang suddenly turned his head and glared at everyone fiercely, then killed the steering wheel. The car turned sharply and hit the guardrail by the bridge. After a few seconds, it broke the guardrail and fell into the water. The vehicles on the side were squeezed together by this sudden collision, which was severely distorted and deformed, and almost caught fire and exploded.

"Help!"

"No!" The passengers were in a mess during this rapid and rapid fall, rolling towards the center of gravity of the front of the car one by one.

Next, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the huge body of the car completely hit the water, hitting a large area of ​​water.

"Um..." The passengers opened the windows as soon as the car started to move, so that they didn't even have a chance to buffer at this moment. The river water kept pouring into the car. The passengers could no longer make a sound, and a few people who could hold their breath toward each other.

He rushed through the window, but the size was too small, and no matter how hard they tried, it would be useless. The man leaned against the door tried to force the door to open, but there was no effect at all. The safety hammer was gone, and the power of these people alone could not cause any damage to the car glass.

"Gudu Gudu..." Everyone could no longer hold their breath. The dim water was extremely cold. As the limbs gradually became numb, the torso was no longer controlled.

Liu Mengtian held Liu Yun's right hand tightly, staring at Liu Yun's pupils gradually became bigger, and a smile slowly rose from the corner of her mouth.

Liu Yun stretched out his left hand and gently stroked Liu Mengtian's cheek, then broke free, then put his palm on the right side of the car glass and pushed it hard. In an instant, the whole piece of glass fell off the car body. Liu Yun crawled out of it, and then quickly came under the car. While the car was still sinking, he lifted the chassis and then pushed the entire car body to the water.

After a while, with a "wow" sound, the car reappeared on the water and moved quickly towards the shore, as if a thruster was installed.

"What's the situation!" The driver who was parking on the bridge and the pedestrians who stopped and watched were stunned by the scene in front of them. They had never seen such a strange thing in their lives, and were shocked when they first encountered it.

"I have heard that the big fish with human nature in the river are not the ones they did, right?"

"Come on, just a joke, are you taking it seriously?"

The police followed. When they were about to investigate the site and started work, they suddenly saw the car parked steadily on the east bank of the river. They were shocked. They were mixed and didn't know what to do for a moment. When they recovered, they led the team to the shore.

Strangely, the passengers in the car had already lost consciousness due to the impediment of breathing and the bone-breaking cold. They were all crooked on the ground, and none of them remained awake. But who did this rescue? Why did they fall into the river? But now they can't take so much care. The most urgent thing is to send them to the hospital for treatment. It's not too late to ask them one by one when they wake up.

Fortunately, these passengers fell into the water for a very short time and were pushed out in less than two minutes. They fainted because of the cold. They woke up in a short while under the timely treatment of medical staff. Of course, Uncle Jiang became the target of public criticism. Who told him to do evil and harm the world? Although he was traumatized, he was unable to declare his grievances and betrayal, and was tortured by the mistakes made by those people, he could not let these innocent people pay for them in any case! Isn’t this revenge on society?! But everyone didn’t know who the benefactor was. After all, even Liu Yun himself pretended to be in a coma and lie there. Who could realize that he did this?

After leaving the hospital, Liu Yun and Liu Mengtian went straight to the side of the road to call a taxi, preparing to rush home as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, the two students also followed and tried to take the same car with them. Unexpectedly, when the two students were about to get on the bus, they suddenly saw an uncle with a broken leg and stick walking over, then asked them about the way, and said that they had just arrived and were not familiar with the place. They hoped that the two would help them, and it would be better to take them for a ride. The kind-hearted student agreed immediately and took him to the west of the road.

The taxi driver picked a few paths with few people and cars, and drove toward the destination with all his strength. On the way, Liu Yun received a call from his mother saying that the boss decided to temporarily invite some relatives and friends in the store today, so he had to do one more day of work and pay as usual, so he asked him to go to his second uncle's house to play first, and come back to meet again tomorrow afternoon. Liu Yun immediately agreed and told Liu Mengtian. Liu Mengtian coquettishly asked if the incident in the Jiangzhong was Liu Yun's actions countless times, because before she lost consciousness, the last scene of Liu Yun breaking out of the window. If it weren't for him, it would have to be classified as an unsolved mystery. Of course, Liu Yun had to deny it. The unsolved mystery is the unsolved mystery. She can't let her know the various situations in her now.

Because he was going to go to his second uncle's house, Liu Yun had to say goodbye to Liu Mengtian in advance, and then walked along the newly built dam to the village where his second uncle's house was. Although it was cold winter, as the New Year approached, people's laughter and joy were still everywhere along the way. The thick and bloated cotton jackets could not stop the enthusiasm they emitted from their hearts. The villagers who came back from the market were full of New Year's goods with their hands, and the children with red cheeks were roaring with cannons and throwing monkeys into the ridge of the field. A row of farm houses lie across the birch forest not far away, and smoke was slowly floating from the chimney on the roof.

When passing by the Tunkou shop, Liu Yun bought some gifts and brought them to his second uncle. Although he changed his mind temporarily, he couldn't just go empty-handed, otherwise the second uncle should make a decision.

"Here." Liu Yun walked to the green tiles and red walls bungalow at the east end of the Tun. He saw the second uncle squatting beside the faucet cleaning a towel in the small courtyard, "Second Uncle!"

"Huh?" Uncle Er suddenly turned his head, "Yun, you are here! I just heard your mother say that she will not come back from working overtime today, so she asked you to stay here for one night first. I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

"Yes, and I haven't been back for a long time, I really miss you very much, so I'm here just now!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Uncle Er smiled and straightened up and quickly walked over to take the gift from Liu Yun. "Come on, come on, what else to buy? Have you seen it?"

"Isn't my mother calling late? It's too late, so I had to buy some at Tunkou, otherwise I'd buy something better for you!"

"Look at what you said, what's the difference between good and bad about this thing? Just get the idea!"

"hey-hey.."

"Sit down, I will pick up your cousin after I wash my things!" As he said that, the second uncle moved the sofa chair from the inner room that he would not easily sit for others on weekdays.

"Ah? My brother is back?"

"Yes, I just got off the plane and was turning around and heading to the county. I had already booked the car here, and he would arrive when I rushed to the county."

"He has been leaving for ten years, right?"

"Ten years and three months."

"It's so fast...I remember the last time we played together was the time when I was in junior high school for summer vacation. At that time, he took me to the river behind the village to catch crabs. The two-inch-long black crab even grabbed his birds."

"Haha, you still remember. Your brother has been very wild since he was a child, doing naughty things, but now he has grown up and is obedient."

"Who isn't it? By the way, where is the second aunt? Go out?"

"I don't know if your brother came back today and rushed to the market to buy vegetables early in the morning!"

"Oh, last time I heard from my mom, my brother has made a lot of money in recent years. Now he is a big boss?"

"That's not, you don't know your brother's strength yet?"

"When he was a child, he was our son-in-law, and when he grew up, he would naturally become the most popular person!"

"Yes, that's it! OK, sit down first, there is hot water in the pot, and you can pour it if you want to drink it!"

"good."

After the second uncle set off, Liu Yun left the yard and came to the nearby swaying. It still felt like he remembered. During the Chinese New Year, every household steamed buns, made dumplings, made pastries, killed chickens and sheep, and hung sausages, fish and bacon in front of the door.

There is still a master with a hand-cranked cannon popcorn machine under the old locust tree in the center. The children are surrounded by them and they are watching and dancing in horror. In front of the village, the brother-in-law of Deputy Director Zhou's house is holding a pen and writing couplets for everyone on the long table at the door. The sister-in-law next to him is making big red lanterns flexibly. The neighbors who come back from the market are putting New Year pictures there to distribute candies to the children. The colorful new clothes are everyone. Some housewives are dressing up sacrifices at home and offering them on the incense table to worship all kinds of gods and Buddhas, and seeking peace throughout the year and prosperity of the family business. The men work hard to clean and organize the sanitation in the courtyard. The people in the village are clear in division of labor, act in a flirting manner, and are very happy and lively.

After wandering around, Liu Yun was a little tired. He looked at his phone. It turned out that an hour and a half had passed without realizing it. So he returned home and was about to rest for a while. But when he sat down, he saw his second uncle rushing over with a big bag and a small bag on his shoulder. While urging him, he shouted, "Yun, why are you still sitting there? Come and help me!"

Seeing this, Liu Yun quickly got up and came to Uncle Er quickly and reached out to take the backpack in his hand. Then he looked back carefully. It was really the cousin who had been working hard outside for many years and now has become awesome. No wonder Uncle Er was happy and excited for so long, and he didn't even pay attention to the shirt hanging on the steel nail thread card on the wall next to him.

"Uncle Second, be careful of clothes!" Liu Yun just reminded him and saw Uncle Second suddenly leaning in. Then he heard a "wavy" sound, and his shirt cracked sharply. "It's just a torn shirt, shouting "What's the little thing."

"Is this... Liu Yun?" My cousin looked at Liu Yun with a strange look and suddenly laughed out loud. "Oh, my little brother, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I really look like I've almost never recognized it!"

"Yes, cousin, you have been leaving for ten years. Although you have been back several times during this period, you have not been in a hurry and you have not even met each other. However, even though you have been so long, you are still as handsome as ever. Now you have finally achieved success in your career and have a more noble character like a successful person. It is really gratifying!" Liu Yun couldn't help but stretch out his hand to caress his cousin back and forth.

"Okay, let your brother come in quickly. The boats and car need to be rested well, so don't bother them." The second uncle welcomed his cousin into the house with a flattering look on his face. "I finally came back during the Chinese New Year, or stayed a few more days, so let's have a good chat! Then I will take you to the family of three relatives and four relatives to walk around, so that they can see how promising our children are now! It can be regarded as earning back the face! I will never be afraid that they will treat each other differently in the future!"

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm back this time on vacation. It's definitely no problem to stay for ten days and half a month. And I have specially prepared a surprise for you and your aunt. Guess what it will be?"

"I can't guess this. You are a rich and powerful person now. I think it's a surprise to give me anything. Could it be related to the house?" Uncle Second quickly moved the sofa chair that Liu Yun had just sat on to his cousin, and waved his hand to signal him to sit down. "You sit first, I'll bring the hot water here. I can't bear to drink this tea that has been treasured for a long time on weekdays. I wonder when you will come back, let's have some more carefully. But then again, you are worth hundreds of millions now, and you haven't drunk any tea outside, haha! Yun! Hurry up and wash two cups!"

"That's right, you didn't say that you particularly like the environment and scenery on the banks of Yueying River. Then I contacted the Land and Resources Bureau before I came back and bought a piece of land for them. Even the designer and construction team were found. Construction can start after the New Year. You can move into a European-style villa of 600 square meters in about half a year!"

"Big, you...I..." Uncle Er was incoherent for a moment, and even the cup in his hand shook water, and his eyes rosy. "It seems that it was a wise move to take you over at the beginning. I didn't expect that you not only made a big deal to strive for the best, but also wanted to repay our kindness to live up to our raising. It really made my uncle feel very pleased."

"I'm back!" While speaking, my second aunt also walked in from the door with a large bag of vegetables. "Oh, when did you arrive? Seeing that your uncle didn't inform me, I've been wandering around the vegetable market for a while! I heard that when you came back today, I ran to the vegetable market early in the morning to grab the freshly baked Daokou roast chicken. This roast chicken is only served seventy a day, so I can't buy it if you go late! And these shrimps and swift crabs are all your favorites, so I'll make it for you! Lao Liu, wash the grapes and cherries in the bag and bring them to Dafa!"

"Okay!" Uncle Er picked up the bag and ran to the pool. "Tell you good news, Dafa is going to build a villa for us! It's still in the area of ​​Yueying River!"
To be continued...
