Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiling City is located in a hilly area divided by rivers. The terrain is rolling and the mountains gradually become steeper in the distance. As far as the eye can see, there are layers of mountains.  The old town here is not much different from the Dongchuan that Qi Ran is familiar with. In mainland cities in 2009, there were no high-end and elegant places like Wanda Plaza, and it was even impossible to find the signs of Pizza Hut, LV, and Haagen-Dazs.  The most prosperous street store is McDonald's and KFC. The clothing category is just Adidas, Nike and other first-line brands here, including Pure Camel.  Walking on the street, there is a sense of familiarity, but there is nothing strange. Almost all prefecture-level cities in Sanjiang Province are similar.  Xiling is a little more prosperous than Dongchuan, and the municipal environment looks a little newer. However, as soon as you turn to the back of the bustling main road, sewage flows across the street in front of the lunch shop, and there are old buildings more than 20 years old everywhere.  If you look for it, you may even find tiled roofs.  After getting off the bus at the bus station, Lin Yan took Qi Ran and walked around the street.  Seeing how excited she was, Qi Ran wanted to remind her several times that she should go to the development zone, but he forgot about it.  It seems that no matter what type of girl, even a cold beauty like Lin Yan, they are not immune to the most important thing of shopping!  But the strange thing is that Lin Yan doesn't seem to have much interest in those clothing and accessories stores. She doesn't go in when she passes by the door. She is really just "shopping".  Until she was almost finished walking through the bustling area, there was a large stationery and office supplies store. She finally walked in and bought a drawing board, pencils, and paper.  Qi Ran opened his mouth to ask, but he immediately understood the reason. He walked out of the store and smiled: "Lin Yan, you are so smart. Let's pretend to be sketchers and go there to investigate, so others won't know what to think." "Now that we know. Still.  Don't you help me get my things? Please behave like a gentleman!" Lin Yan said, hanging the drawing board on Qi Ran's shoulder and straightening his collar.  Then he nodded with satisfaction: Yes, like an art student.  She took out the SLR camera from her bag and hung it around her neck, then turned it around: "Qi Ran, let's see how it goes?" The refreshing ponytail, the white shirt outlined the girl's delicate waistline, and the tight jeans  Wearing healthy and slender legs, wearing sneakers, and hanging a SLR camera on her chest, she looks invincible.  "Pretty, beautiful." It took Qi Ran a long time to squeeze out these two words.  Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and said happily: "Hey idiot, I was asking if you look like a photographer!" Uh, is that right?  Qi Ran looked at the girl with a beautiful smile, and his mind was a little wandering, because he was still recalling the soft touch of the girl's lips during the long-distance bus.  ¡ª¡ª The Kaifa New District is some distance away from the old city. Qi Ran hailed a taxi and the driver heard that it was a new district.  He said he would charge 30 yuan without using the meter.  Qi Ran still wanted to ask, but Lin Yan opened the rear door without hesitation, and he followed her and sat in the passenger seat.  The city is not big, and a taxi trip within the city usually only costs about ten yuan.  Thirty yuan was considered a big job, and the passengers were generous and did not bargain. The driver was so happy that he started chatting.  Chatting all the way.  At this time, Lin Yan stopped talking, and Qi Ran kept chatting with the driver.  When asked why he didn't use the meter when going to the New District, the driver laughed: "You outsiders don't know. The New District is not popular there. I'll drag you there and you'll be empty when you come back." Qi Ran pretended to be surprised: "It's not popular.  "Didn't you say that many government agencies have moved there?" The driver was full of complaints: "In fact, there are two areas, one is the industrial development zone and the other is the development zone. How many workers are willing to live in dormitories?  I just went to the city for a weekend break. The offices in the new district have been moved. Officials go to work during the day and go back to the old city after work. Hey, housing prices have increased, but it's a pity that not many people have actually bought a house.  If you go and live there, it will turn into a ghost town at night! " "What about the development of the industrial zone? I heard it is going well?" Qi Ran asked again.  "Bullshit, the officials are bragging, and they don't treat the common people as human beings. All they brought in were polluting companies. The farmers around them were arguing with them, and the roads were blocked several times!" At this time, the car drove to a place where the terrain was slightly higher.  At the place, the driver licked his lips to the right: "Look, that river ditch was still clear and bright when I was a child. We went to touch shrimps and catch crabs. Now it's all black water, and not a single blade of grass grows on the shore.  Don¡¯t talk about shrimps and crabs, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t even get snails!¡± Since the driver was talkative, Qi Ran tentatively asked about the accident at the Mudan Bridge more than a year ago.  The driver casually replied: "The road was not open to traffic at that time. I heard that five or six people died? There are also rumors that dozens of people died. I don't know clearly. Anyway, these officials will do anything to protect their reputation."  !" Qi Ran chuckled to himself, this driver is still an angry young man, but heThat's a good thing to say.  In a small and medium-sized inland city like Xiling, the location of the Mudan Bridge accident is not far from the city, so the news cannot be concealed.  The Jiangshan group can only make a fuss about the death toll, and they still can't stop the spread of various rumors. No, the taxi driver has a version of the death toll as high as dozens - in fact, this is the truth.  "The accident could not be covered by paper, and there were rumors among the people, but Jiangshan was able to hide the truth. In the end, he was promoted to the mayor of Dongchuan City even though he was ill. It can only be said that someone above this guy is protecting and conniving.  We must obtain tangible evidence and have appropriate channels to overturn the case!  There were still a few kilometers away from the new area. Qi Ran and Lin Yan got out of the car early when they reached Mudan Bridge. The taxi driver was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.  Xiling City New District is actually divided into Industrial Development Zone and Administrative New District. To the southeast of the main city, there is a large area, and there are several small hills separating the two.  The industrial development zone has roads that lead directly to the main city, and national highways cross it, while the new administrative district has to take a detour to get to the main city. Until the Peony Bridge is built, the distance from the new administrative district to the old city is greatly shortened, bringing a series of benefits such as land appreciation.  This Peony Bridge, which laid the foundation for the success of Xiling New District, is a nine-hole highway arch bridge with a length of 1,000 meters. It is like a long dragon crossing the river with extraordinary momentum.  Cars were passing on the bridge, and there was green grass at the end of the bridge. There was a commemorative sculpture with the inscriptions of the city leaders. The large gold letters were dazzling in the sun.  No one seems to remember the innocent souls who are still hanging on under the bridge pier At this time, there are few tourists at the bridge. Occasionally, nearby villagers walk by carrying the burden of short selling in the market.  It¡¯s just that there are two more people on the lawn at the end of the bridge today. A sunny boy is writing and drawing on the drawing board, and a beautiful and refined girl is acting as a model. In the distance, the vegetable patch serving as the background is blooming with golden rapeseed flowers.  If a great painter happens to pass by, he will definitely be inspired and paint a scene full of pictures.  ¡°It¡¯s a pity that there are no great painters here. Qi Ranqi¡¯s paintings are fake, and his works are terrible.  When Lin Yan wanted to see the work, the guy blushed and covered the drawing board.  ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t let me see it,¡± Lin Yan smiled. When Qi Ran relaxed her vigilance, she turned around and took off the drawing paper from the drawing board.  Hey hey!  Qi Ran was about to grab it when he noticed that the girl's expression became very strange. Her delicate brows were furrowed. She pointed at the drawing paper and asked, "Dear classmate Qi, am I so ugly?" A round head with a radiating look.  With her long hair, long body, and twisted legs, she is obviously the Bingshan school beauty in the dreams of countless little boys, but she was suddenly drawn into an alien.  "Abstract school, abstract school," Qi Ran smiled shamelessly. There was no way, he had no talent for painting!  "Forget it, come with me to take pictures!" Lin Yan stuffed the camera into Qi Ran's arms.  Qi Ran picked up the camera to take pictures of Lin Yan, and sometimes Lin Yan took the pictures for him. He could openly admire the little lover in his dream from the viewfinder. The young man never tired of it, and every time he had to pretend to play with it for a long time before pressing the button.  shutter.  "Let's take a group photo!" Lin Yan didn't bring a tripod, so she placed the camera on the stone bench, adjusted the angle to take a view, and chose a time-lapse selfie.  Until the girl walked towards him, Qi Ran was still a little dazed. Was he about to take a selfie with the Bingshan school beauty?  Happiness comes too suddenly!  This guy has forgotten that he took away Lin Yan's first kiss while sleeping on a long-distance bus - maybe he subconsciously knows that to the extent of verifying the relationship between the two, such behavior should not count!  The little boy was so excited that he forgot how to pose. When Lin Yan walked up to him, he still stood at attention.  "Relax!" Lin Yan patted him dissatisfied, and then took the initiative to hold his arm.  Click, the photo was taken.  The picture displayed on the LCD screen shows Qi Ran and Lin Yan cuddling together, but the boy's body is slightly stiff, so he doesn't look like a couple, but more like two brothers.  "Hey, look at the photo, do we look like good buddies?" Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled happily.  "Like, like!" Qi Ran replied absently, a little disappointed: It turns out that in Lin Yan's mind, she is just a buddy At this moment, Lin Yan winked at him.  With a clear understanding, Qi Ran knew that now was the real show, and the drawings and photos ahead were just a cover for the main show.  The bridge is equipped with camera surveillance on all sides. Directly checking and photographing the locations of interest will definitely attract the attention of security personnel and cause unnecessary trouble.  It's different now. A pair of boys and girls in love appeared on the surveillance screen, carrying a sketch pad and climbing up and down the bridge to find a good position to take the view. It was completely normal.  The two of them arrived below the bridge deck.On the side, from this position, it turns out that the bridge piers are different colors.  If you look closely at the darker-colored bridge piers, you can see some cracks. They must be the remaining bridge piers after the collapse. They were reused after the construction was resumed, but the quality of the work was poorer.  In some places, the steel bars are exposed.  The shutter clicked, and Lin Yan took many photos from various angles.  Sometimes Qi Ran would be asked to stand in front and pretend to be taking pictures of people.  "Send these photos to experts for analysis. I hope they can find problems," Lin Yan patted the camera. "Of course we can't hold out too much hope. It's best Huh?" Qi Ran followed the girl's gaze and looked away from Li.  On the hillside not far from the bridge, a group of villagers holding banners and slogans emerged.  (To be continued)?¡­
