Chapter 269: Another Strange Phenomenon

ep his face calm and collected, not showing any signs of panic. Inside, he prayed that they wouldn't find anything amiss. 。Members of the municipal Party discipline inspection commission and the muni...Then everyone began to go down the mountain together. 。As the clouds on the mountain gathered, they showed no sign of lessening. When Xiao Jingyu and his group got into the car, the entire Green Water Village was struck by thunder and lightning. 。Suddenly, a torrential downpour descended from the heavens, enveloping the entire mountain range in a veil of rain. It was as if the deluge sought to conceal some unspeakable secret. 。Everyone got on the coaster. Xiao Jingyu sat in a position close to the front, her face pale and beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Luckily, Li Haiyan gave her a small package of napkins, and as soon as she started sweating, she wiped it clean with a napkin. 。Even so, some people still noticed Xiao Jingyu's abnormality. 。

Jin Jianqiang asked in a low voice, "Xiao Shuji, are you alright" Xiao Jingyu managed to give him a weak smile and said, "I feel a little unwell, but I think it's nothing serious. You should go back." 。"Jīnjiān qiáng jiù dào: "Kāichē ba" 。Below Kaoster, Guan Wenwei and Xiao Zheng and other town cadres still stood in the rain, waving goodbye to the leaders in the car. 。Xiao Jingyu said to Li Haiyan with difficulty, “Tell them not to be so polite, hurry up and get in the car to avoid the rain.” 。Li Haiyan opened the car window, a gust of wind and rain poured into the car. Li Haiyan still shouted with all her might to Xiao Zheng: "The leaders of the town, Secretary Xiao asked everyone not to be polite, all get in the car to avoid the rain, safety first! Let's go back first!"Xiao Zheng nodded to Li Haiyan, then motioned for all the town officials to get in the car. 。Even so, Xiao Zheng, Guan Wenwei, Qin Keling, Tao Fang, Xin A Si and others were already soaked to the bone. 。Those other officials who couldn't fit in the cars took refuge from the rain in the nearby farmhouses. 。Xiao Zheng called his mother, Fei Qingmei, and asked her to bring out some dry towels and boil some ginger soup in an iron pot. 。Fei Qingmei also knew that her son had encountered heavy rain on the mountain today, so she and Xiao Rongrong both got busy. 。The car arrived at the door, and the rain did not let up. Everyone got out of the car and jumped into Xiao Zheng's house. 。

The fire in the earthen stove was burning, warming the room. 。The bath towels and napkins are also ready. Everyone is busy wiping their hair and bodies dry. 。Qin Keli and Tao Fang, two women, let down their long hair and wiped it with towels, but it was still slightly damp, adding a touch of charm that made the men glance at them more. 。Xiao Rongrong said: "Leaders, the bamboo roots in the earthen stove are already burning. Come over and warm yourselves up a bit. If you have moisture on your bodies, it's easy to catch a cold." 。Guan Wenwei is still a softie: “You ladies go warm yourselves by the fire first.” 。 。"Sin A Si laughed and said, 'What the secretary said is right. Women comrades tend to the fire while men comrades smoke. We are working towards the same goal!' Qin Keli and Tao Fang said, 'Thank you, Secretary, for your concern. We won't be polite then!' The two beautiful women slipped behind the stove and sat on the well-worn low wooden stools by the fire. The warm flames inside flickered, quickly drying the moisture from their heads and bodies." 。On the round table in Xiao Zheng's house, Xiao Zheng, Guan Wenwei, Xin A Si and Xiao Rongrong had all lit cigarettes. There was a cup of hot tea in front of each person. Although they had just been drenched like drowned chickens, the warmth from within kept them from being affected by the cold. 。After a while, Fei Qingmei sprinkled a handful of ginger slices into the big pot and then poured in half a package of red sugar. She flipped it several times, allowing the ginger juice and red sugar to blend fully in the water. Then, bowl after bowl of steaming hot ginger-infused red tea arrived before everyone. 。Fei Qingmei said: "Drink it while it's hot, and you shouldn't catch a cold!" Guan Wenwei said: "Thank you. It reminds me of when I was a child, whenever I got cold, my mother would use this to ward off the chill." 。In the past, there weren't as many Western medicines or traditional Chinese medicines. When people caught a cold from the chill, they used this simplest method, which was also very effective. 。

People roasted fire, smoked cigarettes, and drank ginger soup. After their bodies warmed up, a ray of sunshine broke through the clouds outside. 。The rain has stopped!

This winter's thunderstorms are so strange. 。Guan Wenwei didn't say much, but addressed his team: "We've stayed at Mayor Xiao's place long enough. Let's head back to town." 。"Xiao Rongrong smiled and said, "You guys should come visit more often. The more you come, the livelier we'll be." 。"Xin Si smiled and said: "Now that the An Hai Hotel construction has started, I can't help but come to bother you every day." 。"That's great!" Xiao Rongrong said happily.

Xin A Si suddenly said again, "By the way, Brother Rongrong, there's something I want to discuss with you, almost forgot." 。Since both Guan Shujie and Mayor Xiao were here today, I brought it up. 。"Xiao Rongrong didn't know what Xin A Si wanted to say, but she still readily said: "A Si, just tell me what you have to say." 。"Xīn'ā sì dào: “Yīnnǐ lǜ shuǐ cūn xiǎo duìzhěng Zhāng Fǎsōng niánjì yǐjīng qī shí dà le, tā yě tí tào zì jǐ niánjì tài dà le, dāng bù hǎo de." 。He recommended you for this squad leader position. 。"I couldn't possibly do a good job, I have no experience!" 。"Brother Rongrong, don't be humble." 。Most of your squad recommended you. I've looked into it. 。As soon as you agree, you can immediately become…” 。"...Just now, the Public Security Bureau of Ninggan Province and Yinzhu City asked me to help them investigate a murder case! It's simply unbelievable...""Commander Zhang..." Sima Yue's voice came...
