freenovelworld Chapter 90 Lone Eagle Town
Chapter 90 Lone Eagle Town
Guying Town is located deep in the Jianghan Mountains. It is the most remote township in Yantai County, with a population of 150,000. It is about 60 kilometers away from the county seat in a straight line, but the actual journey is 90 kilometers with many twists and turns.
Further on is a mountain range that stretches for more than 300 kilometers, which is basically an uninhabited area. If people hide in it, it will be difficult to find them out.
Guying Town is not only remote, but also extremely resource-scarce, with almost no mineral resources. It is a target of key support from the city and county.
Although a certain amount of relief supplies are sent to Lone Eagle Town every year, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Therefore, under this extreme poverty, many people take risks and embark on a path of no return.
The Guying Town Police Station is located in Tianxi Village, the most prosperous area in the town.
To say it is prosperous is only relative. There are only a few streets around, and the ground is paved with gravel. When it rains, the ground becomes slippery.
There are a total of nine party committee members in Guying Town.
Party Secretary Zuo Ping, 51 years old, is in charge of the overall work of Guying Town.
Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Mayor Jiang Beihan, 47 years old, is in charge of the overall work of the Guying Town Government.
Sun Ke, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, is 48 years old.
There is also Yang An, the police station chief, who is also a deputy mayor and a member of the party committee.
....
Of the nine party committee members, four are locals, including Sun Ke, the deputy party secretary.
After listening to this information, Qi Tongwei fell silent. If one looks at it from the surface, the Sunjia Village in Guyingling is as complicated as a tower village in broken ice.
The villagers inside are not only united as one, but are also infiltrating into the town.
What is more troublesome than Tazhai is that since the road leading to the outside world is extremely difficult, it is equivalent to a semi-closed independent kingdom.
Even communications were carried out on foot, and opportunities were fleeting. If something really happened, Qi Tongwei would probably be dead before reinforcements arrived.
...
The jeep grunted as it climbed the mountain road.
It rained a few days ago, and the mountain road became extremely difficult to walk on.
Suddenly, there was a shake and the jeep made a dull sound. No matter how it steered, the car kept spinning in the same place.
"What's wrong, Xiao Li?"
"Chief, the car has fallen into a pit. We need to wait for a few minutes."
The driver said something, ran out of the car, took out a shovel from the back and started filling the mud pit.
Li Qingshan patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Tongwei, let's go down and wait."
"Let me go and help." Qi Tongwei rolled up his sleeves.
Li Qingshan stopped him and said, "Let Xiao Xiao go. You should walk with me. This car is shaking and I am uncomfortable."
Qi Tongwei did not doubt him and followed Li Qingshan silently, slowly walking along the mountain road.
The mountain road is winding and was entirely artificially excavated. There is a steep wall on the left and a cliff on the right, and the guardrails are natural trees.
If he accidentally fell, Qi Tongwei estimated that there was a 50% chance of survival.
After the two walked a few dozen meters, Li Qingshan stopped and admired the rolling hills.
"Comrade Tongwei, do you find your work difficult?"
"..."
"In fact, you don't have to feel burdened. Just stay in there for a while and don't worry about anything. Secretary Xiao will make arrangements. There will be no danger."
After saying that, Li Qingshan looked back again, and the jeep was blocked from view by the bend.
Li Qingshan took out something wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Qi Tongwei's hand.
The two looked at each other without saying anything, and Qi Tongwei quickly put the things into his pocket.
With this thing, Qi Tongwei felt a little comforted.
It seems that Xiao Jianhua's arrangements are quite appropriate.
This also indirectly shows that Lone Eagle Town is not a good place, and whether he is taking too much risk.
Just based on a few words in the TV series, we can infer that this task is easy to accomplish.
Miscalculation!
...
Regardless of whether they regretted it or not, the jeep finally arrived at Lone Eagle Town after more than three hours of journey.
After entering the town, Qi Tongwei finally saw some people and there were still quite a few shops.
Li Qingshan came over at the right time, pointed outside the car window, and introduced with a smile, "The prices of daily necessities here are a little bit more expensive, but still within the affordable range. However, mountain products are very cheap, and they are also a signboard in our Yantai County. Brother, you are in for a treat."
As if to cooperate with Li Qingshan's introduction, the jeep slowly passed by the game shops.
Hanging on it were all kinds of unknown animals, big and small, many of which Qi Tongwei couldn't even name.
However, there are a few familiar ones that have surprised Qi Tongwei.
Because that would be enough to get you shot in the face in later generations.
But now, it doesn’t seem like… that’s a big deal.
There are quite a few customers coming to buy, and they come from hundreds of miles away to try it, and then double their purchases when they take it back.
It seems that this Lone Eagle Town is not completely useless. At least it has its advantages. If you don’t think about making meritorious deeds, it’s actually quite good.
Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei felt better.
Just eat, drink and have fun, why think so much.
The Guying Town Police Station is a large one-story courtyard divided into front and back yards. The front yard is the office location, and the back yard is where everyone rests.
It was already noon when we arrived at the institute. The old director Yang An and the deputy director Sun Changbing, who had received the news, had already prepared three banquet tables in the yard.
All members of the station, whether they were regular police officers or members of the joint defense team, lined up in the compound waiting.
Seeing the four-wheel drive vehicle driving crookedly to the door, the burly Sun Changbing took the initiative to open the door.
Yang An also came forward, accompanied by several official police officers. As for the members of the joint defense team, they were already "neatly" standing in two rows, waiting for inspection.
"Director Li, have you been well on this journey?"
Li Qingshan tried hard to hold back the churning in his stomach. "It's OK. You should report this mountain road to the town for repair. It's not easy to come here."
Yang An smiled awkwardly, "Director Li, we also want to repair it. You know the situation in the main town."
"Okay, okay, Lao Yang, don't complain to me. I can't allocate the funds." Li Qingshan said happily.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Qi Tongwei, the top student assigned to you by the county. He graduated from Handong University and is also your new deputy director. This is your instructor, a retired soldier named Xiao Long."
"Hello, hello."
"Hello, Chief Yang, Hello, Chief Sun."
Qi Tongwei took the initiative to shake hands with several people, and shook hands with Sun Changbing.
Qi Tongwei discovered that this person's palms and fingers were covered with calluses of various sizes.
Qi Tongwei has only encountered this situation with two people, one is Sha Ruijin and the other is Xiao Long. Since both of them are soldiers, it seems that this person also often uses guns.
After a few pleasantries, Yang An said, "Director Li, the team has assembled. Can you go up and say a few words?"
Li Qingshan nodded, "Okay."
This is a useless program. Although it doesn't have much nutritional value, it doesn't stop people from being enthusiastic about it.
Because this can highlight one's status and majesty.
Li Qingshan first announced the appointments in the bureau, and then began to talk about struggle and dedication.
He spoke for a full twenty minutes, and Qi Tongwei kept frowning while listening.
Then it was Qi Tongwei and Xiao Long's turn. Qi Tongwei didn't know much about the situation here and didn't dare to express his real purpose. He just said a few official words and left.
Xiao Long was born into a military family and didn't like nonsense, so he just spoke briefly.
What followed was a popular program, and a group of people started eating and drinking.
The table was filled with wild delicacies and rice wine brewed by the villagers.
During this period, Yang An and Sun Changbing frequently toasted several people, trying to find out Qi Tongwei's purpose.
Being a law graduate from Handong University and a retired soldier, they both made them extremely wary.
Especially Qi Tongwei, who was young and studied political science and law. They were very afraid that a young man with a naive character and idealism would come and cause trouble in the institute.
If it was Director Qi who had just walked out of the school gate, then I would definitely be irreconcilable with the crime.
Qi Tongwei was not the kind of person who would be so foolish as to confront them head-on. He directly showed his experienced side and had a great time drinking with the people in the institute, taking the opportunity to observe everyone.
After a pleasant lunch, Li Qingshan brought a bunch of mountain products, waved to Qi Tongwei, and got on the bus back to the city with satisfaction.
