Hefeng Village, Ba County, ChiF City, is Liu Xia's hometown and the starting point of his political career. He has served as deputy director and director in the township police station in Hefeng Village; he has served as deputy director and director of the county public security bureau in Ba County.

Hefeng Village is a big village with a population of thousands and more than 400 households. On the left is leaning against the endless farmland and on the right is surrounded by mountains and water. Every summer, the breeze blows across the cornfield, and the ears of wheat sway gently, blowing the trickle of river water, and the scenery is like a painting.

...

Two days ago, Liu Xia drove back to Hefeng Village and pulled a whole truckload of gifts to the villagers, but they were not expensive things, but they were just something that could be used in daily life. Some daily necessities that are not convenient to buy here.

In the past, when he was in glory, Liu Xia would bring his wife and children back to worship his ancestors every year. Even though his old father, who had served as two village secretaries in this village a few years ago, he still maintained this habit after he had no immediate family in Hefeng Village. He was a child from the countryside, and had feelings for this place and knew every tree and grass here. Every time he came back, he could always remember the scene when he was in the township police station, he often rode his bicycle on his night road. The scene seemed a little blurry in his memory, but it seemed like what happened yesterday... Looking back at the careers of the years, perhaps that period was the era when Liu Xia was the most relaxed, least tired, and least concerned about future and interests...

A few days ago, when Guan Zhen had an accident in Hai K, Liu Xia was actually lost. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't have the idea of ​​transferring his property, nor did he want to secretly leave a lot of wealth for his children. He just wanted to drive back and take a look at the familiar scenery and familiar people here.

This afternoon, Liu Xia had a drink at his neighbor's aunt Liu's house. He was also entertaining friends of the same age, juniors, and old buddies from his neighbors.

During the meal, while everyone was drinking and chatting, Aunt Liu, the son of Aunt Liu, who was the same age as Liu Xia, suddenly said: "Liu, you have come back a lot over the years, but we have had some fun drinking in the past two days."

"Haha, what's wrong?" Liu Xia asked, burping.

"You used to be unable to reach it, but now you can." Aunt Liu's son has no education and has been farming at home for many years. Now he is in his fifties. His eldest son and younger son are married. His burden is gradually reduced. He doesn't have to work too hard for life. He lives a life of drinking some wine and selling some agricultural products every day to make a living.

Liu Xia smiled when she heard the sound.

"Look, the one who followed you when you came back before... was either a township chief or a county magistrate, or the people from the county public security bureau... Our brothers who have been playing with you since childhood can't squeeze next to you, and they can't even make drafts when they talk." Aunt Liu's son grinned and said, "But we can understand, because you have a promising future and you have the right... You can do big things for the people, and it's normal for someone to carry you around."

"…!" Liu Xia was silent for a long time, lowered her head and replied: "I don't want that."

"Do you feel tired?"

"Yes, it's just tired." Liu Xia nodded seriously.

"Why didn't you take your wife and children when you come back this time? Didn't you notify the county?" The middle-aged man in his fifties next to him also asked casually.

"No, I just want to come back and stay for two days, haha, let's see you." Liu Xia shook her head.

After speaking, she sat on the kang. Aunt Liu, who was nearly 80 years old, said to Liu Xia in a vague manner: "Your dad is gone... Isn't this your home too... If you want to come back, come back... In two years... you may not be able to see me."

"Good." Liu Xia was stunned, and nodded with a simple smile, lying in Aunt Liu's ear and said, "You are kind-hearted. When you were young, you were poor. You only lived a good life. Our children said they came here to play, but they all wanted to eat at your house... Auntie, no one will have a short life, you will not live for another eighty years."

"...Little Liuzi, you are kind-hearted. I still remember that you arrested the murderer Wei Laoliu in our village, and let him stab him three times... and chased him out for more than three miles, and finally he was pressed into the cornfield. At that time, your father was ruined. Everyone said that the person who captured Wei Laoliu was his son." Aunt Liu smoked a cigarette pot and looked at Liu Xia with dizzy eyes and said, "Good people will be rewarded. Xiao Liuzi, you can definitely be a high-ranking official and help us in this poor place."

When Liu Xia heard this, his eyes turned red and he stared at Aunt Liu blankly for a long time, but in the end he didn't dare to answer the conversation. He just picked up the white wine glass and drank it all.

...

evening.

After the banquet passed, Liu Xia walked out of Aunt Liu's house and asked at a wife of the same age as her in the yard: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"During the autumn harvest, I left some corn cobs at home, thinking about making them into corn kernels in spring next year, and waiting for a good price to sell them. But the corn is furious in the yard, and I have to sprinkle some medicine here every night." The woman replied with a smile.

Liu Xia was stunned and nodded: "Ah, then I'll leave first, sister-in-law."

"Live with your home tonight?"

"No, I'll go home."

"How long has it been since your house has not been living in? How cold is it tonight? Let's live here?!"

"It's okay, I'll go back and live and leave tomorrow." Liu Xia waved his hand and walked out of the yard.

"Come here to have dinner tomorrow, I'll get you some stewed eggs." My sister-in-law shouted again.

When Liu Xia heard this, he stopped, clenched his fists and pondered for a while, and suddenly turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, give me some rat medicine."

The eldest sister-in-law was stunned: "What should you do if you want this?"

"...My house is old and there are also troubles."

"Okay, then I'll get you a bottle."

...

After more than ten minutes.

Liu Xia followed the winding village road and headed towards the wasteland on the hillside. The deeper he walked, graves and tombstones began to appear frequently on both sides of the road.

There is a tomb circle over there, and it is the ancestral tomb of the Liu family.

...

Inside the county public security bureau.

"Are you there?" Wang Guofeng asked at the director of the Public Security Bureau.

"After verified, the person is in the village."

"Let's go, go over." Wang Guofeng nodded and immediately urged.

"Hey, I have advised Liu Xia for many times. Tell him to do it and do it, but someone with high positions and power will not listen to you at all, and something happened. But it's okay, it's sunny." The director said very against his will and full of political sarcasm.

"He comes back every year, don't you all accompany him?" Wang Guofeng replied with a slander.

"...then...isn't that impossible? Is there a political accompaniment!"

"Haha, political accompaniment? I have learned a new word here." Wang Guofeng shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and shouted: "Get in the car!"

...

That night.
