Mansion No. 8 was brewing a sinister plan, but at this moment Xu Yishan was kept in the dark.
No one can really penetrate into the depths of his heart, not even Chen Xiaoqi.
When everyone was vying for the mayor's seat, Xu Yishan had a sudden thought, if Mayor Li Chaoliang's body recovered, wouldn't this battle be silently annihilated?
Xu Yishan's wisdom was fully reflected at this time.
He knew that no matter who wins this battle, blood will flow into rivers.
Since Secretary Wang recommended him, he naturally has his consideration. Governor Lu is such a powerful person, how can he watch the mayor's position fall into Xu Yishan's hands? In this invisible battle, Governor Lu did not recommend him, but Liang Guoming, which made Xu Yishan feel deeply disappointed.
As for Hu Jin, when he recommended Cheng Zihua, he naturally had his own considerations. He needs someone who will obey his word. This person is definitely not Xu Yishan, nor anyone else except Cheng Zihua.
Wei Li came forward to compete for the mayor of Hengyue, which surprised Xu Yishan. Wei Li's official career is about to come to an end, and an age limit limits him. Whoever it is, will not come to grab this seat. But Wei Li seems to be determined to gain momentum.
In other words, whoever gets on is not necessarily a good thing. What made Xu Yishan feel even more cruel was that Li Chaoliang was still alive, and the mayor's chair was still under his ass. How cruel it is now that the storm is scrambling for the chair under his ass.
However, the real society is so cruel. In the face of interests, the temperature of human nature will become cold.
On the second day after Xu Yishan came back, he went to the hospital to visit Li Chaoliang.
Seeing him coming, Li Chaoliang felt much better.
He insisted on sitting up, leaning against the head of the bed and looking at Xu Yishan with a smile on his face.
"Mayor Li, let me talk to you." Xu Yishan sat down by the bed and reached out to hold the hand of Li Chaoliang, who was already skinny.
"Thank you, Xiao Xu." Li Chaoliang said with a smile: "Let's talk once, one less time. When you come again next time, I may not be able to talk anymore."
Xu Yishan hurriedly said: "Mayor Li, don't say that. As the old saying goes, a lucky person has his own destiny. Besides, when I came here, I consulted a doctor. Your condition has stabilized. You just need to rest for a while and you can be discharged from the hospital." gone."
Li Chaoliang said with a faint smile: "Xiao Xu, you don't need to comfort me. I still understand my situation very well. It's best if you come today. I have something to tell you."
Li Chaoliang's words completely resolved the doubts in Xu Yishan's heart.
It turned out that at the beginning of his illness, he knew that his time was numbered. As a responsible leading cadre, what he considers is not how to prolong his life. His first thought was who would take his hand.
He took the initiative to call Secretary Wang of the Provincial Party Committee and report his thoughts.
It was he who recommended Xu Yishan to Secretary Wang. He said to Secretary Wang, "Boss, in the future of Hengyue City, there must be someone with outstanding ability and grand structure to preside over the work. This person is Xu Yishan."
Xu Yishan was very moved, and said in a low voice: "Mayor Li, you think highly of me."
Li Chaoliang shook his head, and said slowly: "Yishan, I know my shortcomings. I am too weak, but you are different. Your greatest strength is courage and insight. The country needs you who are upright and courageous. You are a good cadre. To be honest, your plan to revitalize Hengyue City's industrial glory makes me feel deeply. If Hengyue City wants to get out of the predicament, it cannot get out of it by relying on one road."
Xu Yishan felt extremely uncomfortable. Li Chaoliang had been tormented by the illness and lost all energy and energy. He was not concerned about his own body, but the entire Hengyue City. This fearless spirit of caring for the world and being loyal to the people shocked him.
It never occurred to him that he recommended himself to Secretary Wang. This happened to allow his doubts to be thoroughly resolved. When rumors were flying everywhere, he really thought Du Wanqiu was the reason why he was included in the candidate list.
Now all the truth came out, and the burden in his heart was completely released.
After staying in Li Chaoliang's ward for more than an hour, he went straight to Wuxiu Reservoir when he left the ward.
Standing on the damaged dam of Wuxiu Reservoir, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The Wuxiu Reservoir, which was originally dry to the bottom, is now shimmering. The beautiful shadow of Wuxiu Mountain in the middle of the reservoir is reflected on the water surface, making it even more beautiful and beautiful.
At the break of the dike, a stone embankment as high as two people stretched to both sides of the bank. will beThe entrance was blocked, and the reservoir was filled with water as high as a person, and it was so blue that it was fascinating.
The last time Xu Yishan came, he saw the scene where his father, Xu Barefoot, and the old director of the reservoir management office worked together to build the dam. At that time, he was still thinking that with the strength of the two old men, it was simply a dream to restore the Wuxiu Reservoir to its original state.
In front of us, although the dam is not as majestic as it used to be, it tenaciously makes the reservoir full of vitality.
There is no one around, the breeze blows, and the water surface is sparkling.
Xu Yishan looked far and wide, but did not find a shadow of a boat.
In the past, several ships were docked on the shore of the reservoir management office all year round. These boats are an essential tool for reservoir administrators to patrol the reservoir. Now the boat is gone, and there is no one in the reservoir management office.
He lingered on the shore for a long time before resolutely taking off his clothes and going into the water.
He wants to swim to Wuxiu Mountain.
Xu Yishan was born with a relationship with water. His name happens to have another word for "mountain". The benevolent love the mountain, and the wise enjoy the water. Especially after learning the Turtle Breathing Technique taught to him by a strange man, in his eyes, water is the real source of life.
Without any effort, he easily crossed the reservoir. As soon as he stepped on the land of Wuxiu Mountain, his heart suddenly choked up.
Father Xu Barefoot has been away from home for more than two years. In the past two years, he has had no interaction with his family except for the occasional appearance.
Without any delay, he went straight to the Wuxiu Temple on the top of the mountain.
As soon as he arrived in front of the temple, he suddenly felt in a trance.
Everything in front of me seemed to be exactly the same as when the old monk Wuxiu was alive. Even the ecstasy array that had been dug up in front of the temple has been restored.
Wuxiu Temple has long since disappeared. On the original site, a hut built with stones is hidden in the jungle.
Xu Yishan opened his throat and shouted, "Father, I am Yishan, are you there?"
He yelled a few times, but there was no movement. Just when he was disappointed, he suddenly heard a voice, "What are you doing here?"
When Xu Yishan heard the voice, he was ecstatic. This voice is exactly the voice of Dad Xu's bare feet.
However, he looked around, but he only heard his voice, but could not see him.
"Father, take me in." Xu Yishan shouted, "You ecstasy formation, I can't get through it."
"If you can't make it through, don't come." Xu Chijiao's voice was steady and powerful, and he didn't seem to be surprised at all. It was as if he had completely cut off his ties to everything outside of him.
"Father, I'm here to beg you to save someone's life." Xu Yishan simply revealed his purpose.
"Hmm." After this sound, there was no more sound.
Xu Yishan waited for a while, but he didn't see his father Xu coming out barefoot.
A gust of wind blew by, and there was a whirling sound of leaves around me. The sun was hitting his face and body, making him very warm and comfortable.
Suddenly, a long-tailed squirrel sprang out from the bushes. It stopped in front of Xu Yishan, put up a pair of front legs, and squeaked a few times.
Xu Yishan looked down and suddenly saw a small cloth bag on the squirrel's back.
He immediately understood, squatted down and took the cloth bag from the squirrel's back, stroked the squirrel's head lightly a few times, and said softly, "Brother Squirrel, my father will entrust you."
The little squirrel seemed to understand human nature, and nodded solemnly.
At this time, the voice of father Xu Barefoot came again, "A mountain, life and death are determined, wealth and honor are in the sky. If you take this pill, whether you can save his life depends entirely on God's will, and you can't force it."
Xu Yishan replied, "Father, don't you want to see me?"
Xu Chijiao didn't answer his words directly, but just said, "Go back."
