o use >. 。"Chen Qingshan muttered to himself, "If we need him, he can just continue working in Baoyuan and Xihe. If he's moved somewhere else, my team would be useless! Giving this kind of cadre away...Houyuan Kuan trudged through the snow, making his way toward the cave dwellings. 。When one grows old, their heart may yearn for what they once did, but their body often fails to keep up. The old man's mind had already flown back to those familiar caves he knew so well, yet his legs still struggled through the snow. 。Hou Yuan was dissatisfied with his own speed. 。A faint cracking sound echoed again. 。

Granddaughter Xiaojing was worried that her grandfather might fall, so she stayed close by and carefully supported him as they arrived at this sunken cave dwelling. When descending the steps, Hou Yuan was anxious and his foot slipped twice, almost causing him to fall. It was Xiaojing who caught him both times. "Grandpa," she said, "let's not rush..." >>> 。But the elder said, “Don't worry, it won't work. I'm afraid this cave will collapse!”

Sunken caves are the most unique type of cave. What is meant by "seeing trees but not villages, seeing villages but not houses, hearing sounds but not people" refers to this kind of sunken cave. 。

The wind pierced through their clothes, snowflakes striking their cheeks, and the hexagonal ice crystals shattered! Hòu Xiǎojìng knew she couldn't persuade the old man, so she said no more, just supporting him to prevent him from falling. 。As we stepped onto the ground, the dark and shadowy cave came into view. 。The wind at the top no longer reached, and the snow no longer flew wildly, but fell quietly, steadily increasing in thickness on the ground. 。"Those three caves are fine, my dad and I reinforced them before." 。“The old man affirmed, “It’s the two middle caves. We didn’t have time to build them back then. They were quite sturdy at the time, but after these ten years, with this heavy snowfall, they probably won't hold up.” 。The old man's flashlight swept over the entrances of those cave dwellings. Although the range of the flashlight was limited, the arched doorways of the caves were clearly visible. 。Several cave dwellings had wooden supports and planks at their entrances. Hòu Xiǎo jìng knew that most of them were made by her grandpa and dad together. 。Later, my father had an accident. Grandpa took on some of the support work alone. Then, as grandpa grew older and weaker, he couldn't do this kind of work anymore. He went to the village and town many times to report the situation and hope that someone would come to maintain these cave dwellings, but he waited a long time for no response. 。But no matter what, these cave dwellings have persisted until now, which is Hou Yuan Kuan's greatest comfort. 。At this moment, the sounds of "clack clack" and "giggle giggle" sounded again. 。When up above, the sound was still faint, but down below, with no wind or snow, it became remarkably clear, as if it could penetrate right into one's body. 。Even so, Hou Xiaoxing still couldn't tell which cave the voice was coming from. 。The second one in the middle 。The old man, Yuan Kuan, seemed to be quite aware of where he was going as he walked towards the cave. 。At this moment, Hòu Xiǎo Jìng couldn't help but feel nervous. What if the cave really collapsed She and her grandfather would be buried alive here! 。"Grandpa, it's too dangerous. Let's not go too close," said Hou Xiaocheng. 。"

Hòu Yuānkuān thought of his granddaughter also being beside him, worried about her safety, and said, "Xiaojìng, you don't have to go with me. " 。 。"Hòu Xiǎo Jìng heard her grandfather insist on checking the situation out. She wasn't a timid girl, so she held onto his arm and said, “I’ll go with you.” 。If it's really dangerous, I can help you out quickly. 。"Speaking, Hou Xiaojing tightly grasped her grandfather's arm. Hou Yuan寬 also knew his granddaughter's personality - independent yet strong-willed. Once she made up her mind, Hou Yuan寬 couldn't change it. Perhaps this was a form of inheritance!

The two came to the cave entrance with no support. They saw that the archway was intact and there were no cracks." 。Inside are simple wooden tables and chairs, a kettle, bowls and chopsticks—all things left over from decades ago; there is also a faded red flag, which the old man bought himself later with his own money, but it has faded too. 。"This kiln is good!" The old man originally thought this kiln would be the most problematic, but he didn't find anything unusual. 。The old man came out of the cave and said, "Let's go take a look at the next one over." 。Then Xiaojing helped her grandfather to the next cave. This one also hadn't been reinforced. 。The objects inside are not much different from the previous ones. 。The archway of the cave dwelling also showed no cracks. Entering inside, I shone my flashlight around thoroughly, but found no cracks at all. 。"That's strange!" Elder Hou Yuankuan also puzzled, the previous "creaking" and "clicking" sounds were from where Hou Xiaoning was also puzzled. 。Two people came out of the cave and looked at the two entrances. Suddenly, the elder said, "This must be the first cave we saw just now." 。The old man went in again, and Hou Xiaojing had to follow him. 。As soon as the two stepped inside, a loud "creak" echoed through the cave. A crack, like a serpent, appeared at the entrance and stretched all the way to the back. Dust began to fall, and the ceiling started to collapse. 。"Grandpa, come here." 。"Hòu Xiǎojìng quickly pulled her grandfather and hid in the corner, a large area of topsoil from the ceiling had collapsed, instantly dust rose, and snowflakes fell from the sky, like notes in a requiem...

County Director of Scenic Tourism and Culture, Dīng Guódòng, arrived at Hóngbǎo Township by 1:00 am." 。County Party Secretary Na Junying was still waiting in the meeting room of the township government. When Ding Guodong arrived, he saw Na Junying and felt a little apprehensive. He said, "Secretary Na, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." 。。"Ding Guodong's heart turned cold, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of snow. He immediately explained: "Secretary Na, the car did have some problems." 。"Nazu Junying said, "It's probably a problem with the car. We'll figure it out later." 。Now I ask you, what is your contact village" Ding Guodong recalled for a moment, almost unable to say it. This village was notified to him by the Organization Department, and he didn't take it to heart. Fortunately, the name of this village was indeed relatively easy to remember. Ding Guodong finally remembered: "Hongqi Village" 。"Then you'd better go down the village quickly, I have a few requirements..." Na Junying repeated her requirements to Ding Guodong. 。In Na Junying's hands, there were already several letters of denunciation about Ding Guodong, involving economic issues and conduct issues. However, because the previous county party secretary, Liebin, had always protected Ding Guodong, Na Junying could only keep those letters of denunciation in the case management room and couldn't further investigate them. 。Now that Li Bin is gone, no one will protect him anymore!

But Ding Guodong is still playing tricks. Today, in such a major and urgent situation of fighting against the snow disaster, he was over an hour late compared to everyone else! This account will be settled sooner or later. 。However, the top priority is disaster relief and saving lives, so Na Junying ordered him to go down to the village immediately. 。After hearing Na Junying's request, Ding Guodong looked at her expression and didn't dare to stay long. He stood up and said, "Secretary Na, I'll go down to the village right away!"

After Ding Guodong left as well, the township government office began receiving constant calls from the village, mainly reporting on three aspects: first, the situation of the leaders of the departments at the neighboring villages; second, the situation of the villagers, whether they were all safe; and third, the relocation of the people living in dilapidated houses in the village. 。The director of the village government office, Ren Yongle, personally answered the phone and recorded all the details. 。

Hongbao Rural Township didn't have many villages to begin with, only 16 in total. After a few tens of minutes, Ren Yongle reported the summarized situation to both the Party Secretary and the Head of the Township. Xie Xianren and Zhang Chengchuan arrived at the meeting room afterwards and met with Na Junying, the County Discipline Commission Secretary, to report. 。Having seen 16 villages, the heads of district-level departments in 15 villages have all arrived. At the same time, contact has been made with all fread-co personnel and their safety has been confirmed. Among them, 135 households of cave dwellings and houses have safety hazards. Villagers have been transferred to village committees, factory buildings, and the homes of reliable relatives and friends in surrounding areas. Finally, Na Junying's heart felt a lot more at ease. 。She put forward the following requirements: firstly, personnel must be dispatched to contact all households and villagers who are out of touch to ensure the safety of every villager. Secondly, attention should be paid to the situation in Hongqi Village, contacting Ding Guodong, who is late, to find out when he can arrive at Hongqi Village. She also proposed contacting the cadres of Hongqi Village to urge them to clarify the safety status of all villagers!County Discipline Inspection Commission Standing Committee Member Meng Yunshan volunteered to contact Ding Guodong, while Township Head Zhang Chengchuan also attached great importance to this matter. He said he would be responsible for contacting the village. 。Just as things were arranged, suddenly someone burst into the meeting room from outside, panting heavily. 。Na Junying, Xie Xianren, Zhang Chengchuan and others were all taken aback. This person was precisely Ding Guodong, the director of the county's landscape culture and tourism bureau. 。He wasn't supposed to be back, was he

Nà Jùnyìng frowned deeply and asked, "Director Dīng, what's the situation here Why aren't you going down to the village!"

Dīng Guódòng put on a pained expression: "Secretary Nà, it's not that I don't want to go down to the village... 。We're stuck! The snow on the mountain is really heavy. There's a blizzard, and our car got stuck in the snow on the mountain road after just a little while. We can't go forward or backward! I ran back to report this to you because I'm worried the leaders will think I don't want to come down the village. 。My heart has already flown to Hongqi Village, but the car can't get there!"

Na Junying was completely unimpressed by Ding Guodong's flowery words. 。She said, "It doesn't need your heart to fly over, just your person to come." 。"The car is stuck, can you walk past"

Ding Guodong said with a bitter face: "Secretary Na, you haven't been on the mountain road, so you don't know. The snow hasn't even reached your thighs. If you climb up the mountain, I don't know how long it will take!" Ding Guodong was worried that he would die of exhaustion on the mountain road, or that he would be unable to climb in the end and freeze to death in the snow! Ding Guodong is a person who cherishes his life. 。Next to him, Xie Xianren, the secretary of the village party committee, said: "Secretary Na, this is the situation. Director Ding didn't exaggerate." 。Once it snows heavily, it's basically impossible to get up Red Flag Mountain. 。Why don't we call the village and ask about the situation If everything is fine, the county-level leaders can wait and not go up first. We can just keep an eye on the latest updates. You can follow the author's WeChat public account: Walking Pen Longdan, and go up tomorrow morning when it's light out. 。"Xie Xianren knows that Ding Guodong has a close relationship with the former county party secretary, Liebin, so he spoke up for Ding Guodong at this moment." 。Na Junying listened to Xie Xianren's words and then looked at Ding Guodong. After a moment of silence, she said: "You call the Red Flag Village Party Branch and find out what's really going on in the village." 。Everyone thought that Na Junying had given up on the idea of forcing Ding Guodong to go down the village. Ding Guodong even exchanged glances with Xie Xianren, expressing his gratitude. 。Village Chief Zhang Chengchuan immediately called the village. 。rassed. He had been too busy with his own affairs lately and hadn’t visited Old Zhuang during the Spring Festival. He could only say, “I…” 。I'm planning to ask you to stay at the West Lake for a whil...
