On the morning of New Year's Eve, the weather was extremely sunny.
Yang Liu was waiting by the car early, and when she saw Xu Yishan coming out, she quickly opened the car door and made a "please" gesture mischievously.
Originally Xu Yishan wanted to drive the car himself, but Yang Liu firmly disagreed. She insisted on asking her to drive to Wuxiu Reservoir on the grounds that the secretary could drive the car himself.
After nine o'clock in the morning, the number of cars on the road gradually decreased.
The sound of firecrackers is endless, and the joy of the New Year is everywhere.
Yang Liu was concentrating on driving the car. The profile of her side face was beautiful, just like a carved woodblock print, with soft lines and beauty everywhere.
After the reconstruction of Wuxiu Reservoir, the dam is much taller than before. The Maoshan Water Conservancy Bureau installed a generator set on the dam, which generates enough electricity every day to supply the needs of a town.
The Wuxiu Reservoir, which is full of water, is sparkling at a glance.
This reservoir, which has regained its brilliance of life, is welcoming a bright future with a new attitude.
After the reservoir was rebuilt, Yunwushan Tourism Resort and Wuxiu Reservoir Management Office reached a strategic partnership. They have built a third-class road from Wuxiu Reservoir to Yunwu Mountain.
The benevolent love mountains, the wise enjoy water. Yang Liu's most proud work as the director of Maoshan Tourism is the perfect combination of the mountains of Yunwu Mountain and the water of Wuxiu Reservoir, forming a tourism ecological chain.
Now guests who travel and explore Yunwu Mountain can directly reach Wuxiu Reservoir through the special tourist road.
? Yangliu built a water park in Wuxiu Reservoir, which is jointly managed by Yunwu Mountain Tourist Resort and the Reservoir Management Office.
When the car is parked on the dam, there is a gust of wind coming out in the face. It doesn't feel cool, but it feels comfortable.
The director of the Reservoir Management Office had been waiting on the dam for a long time, and they trotted all the way over, shouting as they ran, "Old Xu is here, Old Xu is here."
Xu Yishan is called "Old Xu", which is the title he got when he was still investigating the water conservancy of Maoshan. At that time, as long as he came to Wuxiu Reservoir, people, big or small, would kindly call him "Old Xu" when they saw him.
A group of people surrounded Xu Yishan, greeting him affectionately. The simple folk obviously didn't have any barriers because he was already the high-ranking secretary of the municipal party committee. They still regard this young man who used to eat and sleep with them as their closest person as before.
Because it is winter, the water park has been closed.
This season is the busiest season in Yunwu Mountain.
Yang Liu told him that when she learned that he was coming to the Wuxiu Reservoir today, she had already greeted the Reservoir Management Office last night. So they waited on the dam early in the morning to welcome him.
"Your majestic secretary of the municipal party committee has come down, you can't be silent, right?" Yang Liu said with a smile: "Aside from other things, safety must always be guaranteed."
Xu Yishan said with a wry smile: "It's Chinese New Year today, why are you bothering everyone?"
Yang Liu didn't answer his question, so Gu Zi went to the car to get a stack of red envelopes, each of them handed out one, and said, "This is the New Year's red envelope from Secretary Xu. I hope you will work hard in the new year. The work of the water park has been pushed to a new level."
The director of the management office smiled and said: "Thank you, Secretary Xu, and Director Yang. We have already decided that as soon as the spring begins, we will prepare for a major renovation of Wuxiu Mountain."
Xu Yishan asked casually, "How are you going to reform?"
The director of the management office reported: "The Wuxiu Temple on Wuxiu Mountain has been designated as a national second-class cultural relic protection object. After our application, the county has agreed to establish a project to restore the Wuxiu Temple. Wuxiu Mountain will be opened up as a scenic spot."
Xu Yishan asked: "Where are the bells and drums I saw in Wuxiu Temple in the past?"
The director of the management office said: "For a while, the bells and drums were stolen and disappeared. I heard that the bells and drums were bought by a Chinese businessman. We are going to discuss with him and buy them back from him."
Xu Yishan nodded and said: "Wuxiu bells and drums are well-known far and near. We must let the bells and drums ring."
Of course he knows where the bells and drums are now. Du Juan said that her father participated in an auction abroad, and after learning that the auction item came from the Wuxiu Temple in Maoshan, he had already spent a huge sum of money to buy it.
Come, it is currently stored in her home abroad.
"By the way, Secretary Xu, the bells and drums of the Wuxiu Temple were stolen by the second son of the old Secretary Huang's family. Now that their family has collapsed, they have to bear the responsibility. We have made up our minds and are going to find him The Huang family wants money to buy it back."
Xu Yishan asked casually: "When Huang Daling came to steal the bells and drums, you all knew it clearly, why?Why not stop him? "
The director of the management office said embarrassingly: "At that time, who of us had the courage?"
"Do you have the guts now?"
The director of the management office muttered: "At that time, his father was the secretary of the county party committee."
Yang Liu asked the director to arrange a boat to come, and she wanted to accompany Secretary Xu to Mount Wuxiu.
The director of the management office was surprised: "There is nothing on the mountain, what is Secretary Xu doing up there?"
Yang Liu did not say that Secretary Xu came to find his father. There is no such thing as cultivating mountains and immortals on Xu Chijiao, and few outsiders know about it. Even the people from the Wuxiu Reservoir Management Office didn't know that Xu Chijiao was Xu Yishan's father.
In the past, Wuxiu Mountain was a mysterious mountain.
This lonely mountain standing in the middle of the reservoir is like a pen inserted by God into the vast reservoir. If it weren't for the Wuxiu Temple on the mountain, the mountain would have been razed to the ground by the power of the masses.
The sound of bells and drums in Wuxiu Temple accompanied the growth of generations around the reservoir. So far, there are still people who say that if they can't hear the morning bell and evening drum from Wuxiu Mountain, their souls seem to be lost.
Yang Liu politely declined the request of the director of the management office to accompany him up the mountain in person. After she and Xu Yishan docked in the speedboat, the driver of the speedboat was left waiting at the foot of the mountain, and she and Xu Yishan went up the mountain together.
For Xu Yishan, Wu Xiushan is no stranger.
Therefore, he quickly found a way up the mountain.
The path twists and turns, and it is almost impossible to tell that this was once a road.
Xu Yishan's footsteps were light, and he left Yang Liu far behind in a short while.
When Yang Liu climbed to the ruins of Wuxiu Temple, Xu Yishan had already sat on the big bluestone for more than half an hour.
On the ruins of Wuxiu Temple, the stone house is still there, but there are no people there. Xu Yishan searched all around, but he didn't find his father at all. Instead, the squirrel he had seen had followed him closely since he came up, jumping in front of him and behind him.
All things have spirituality, especially this squirrel.
In addition to this time, it was the third time that Xu Yishan went up the mountain to look for his father.
For those who met Dad for the first time, the last time, the only one who greeted him was the mouse in front of him.
Xu Yishan whispered to Squirrel: "Brother Squirrel, where is my father? Can you take me to find my father?"
Father was not on Wuxiu Mountain, Xu Yishan had a premonition before he came.
But Chen Xiaoqi insisted on him looking for it. She said that a family reunion would be too incomplete without her father, Xu Barefoot.
The squirrel's legs were resting on his hand, its eyeballs were rolling around, and its big tail was wagging happily.
Just in time, Yang Liu followed up panting.
As soon as she came, she complained: "You leave me and run forward alone, what if I am in danger behind you? You don't know how to be sympathetic at all."
Xu Yishan didn't see his father's shadow, and his mood was extremely depressed. Hearing what Yang Liu said, he apologized endlessly, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious."
Yang Liu was not really angry, she sat down on the big blue stone next to Xu Yishan.
Along the way, her hair was already wet with sweat. After stopping suddenly, the mountain wind penetrated into her clothes, and the coolness quickly spread throughout her body.
She folded her arms unconsciously and whispered, "It's so cold."
Xu Yishan didn't feel cold at all. Instead, he was hot and restless. Not seeing his father, he was surrounded by disappointment.
Hearing Yang Liu said it was cold, he hesitated, took off his clothes, and put them on her body.
The two sat on the cold big bluestone, staring into the distance, without saying a word.
