Chapter 362: Who is the Old Man?

s, yes, I'm back." 。It's getting late, you guys should get some rest. 。"Okay, I'll let Director Fang know and then I'll take a break." 。"Ye Kailin said" 。Xiao Zheng smiled at her and said, "Then I'll...Although the weather is still hot, the river water is icy cold. 。The river water quickly chilled his body, and even though his blood was still flushed with alcohol, it cooled instantly. 。Xiao Zheng struggled, but his body felt like it was filled with lead, heavy and powerless. His struggles only caused him to sink faster. He felt himself drifting further away from the world above water, and a sudden thought flashed through his mind: This must be what it feels like to leave this world. 。He suddenly felt infinitely tired and too lazy to struggle...

He hadn't expected that beneath the calm lake surface, there were undercurrents, just like shrimp soldiers and crab generals quietly encircling him, dragging him down. No wonder some people say that the water in this Jingzhou all flows into the East China Sea. 。Then he was going to be taken to see the Dragon King

Xiao Zheng smiled helplessly underwater, but he knew there shouldn't be a smile on his face. His heart seemed to have lost contact with his body. 。The body has been claimed by the river. 。"Xiao Zheng!" It seemed like someone was calling his name. 。The sound came from somewhere, unheard. It passed through the water and reached his powerless body. 。From underwater From the streets From the sky Xiao Zheng couldn't tell, he only knew that this voice carried the familiar scent of... 。With a splash, someone broke through the already closed surface of the water and came underwater. The agile and graceful figure searched around in the water and soon discovered Xiao Zheng being swept away by the undercurrent. She swam forcefully towards him a few times, then hooked his body 。Then, before Xiao Zheng could grab her, she swam to his rear, encircling his neck with her arm and using her legs and one arm to pull him towards the shore. 。Xiao Zheng vaguely felt an arm powerfully pulling him, and the flexibility pressing against his back brought back sensation to Xiao Zheng who was about to lose feeling in his body. 。But he didn't dare to move, because he knew that in the water, any movement of a drowning person would only create resistance for the rescuer. So he let the woman lead him to shore. 。"Give me your hand!" "Come on up quickly!" Someone was shouting from the bank, their voice piercing the stillness of the alley. 。Xiao Zheng's arm was grabbed and dragged to the shore. 。Then, a voice called out: "Mayor Xiao, you should come up quickly too!"

Xiao Zheng had drunk quite a lot of water, and after being patted and pushed by people, the water he drank along with the previous alcohol was all vomited out. He regained some of his senses. 。Only then did he see Li Haiyan, Xiao Zhong beside him, and Xiao Jingyu, who was drenched all over and looked worried. 。Just now, that powerful arm and the flexibility pressed against my back turned out to be Xiao Jingyu's! An uncontrollable surge of tenderness and emotion welled up inside me from my body, chilled by the river water. 。"You... how are you... here" His heart pounded, but the words that came out were weak. 。Li Haiyan said: "Mayor Xiao, County Mayor Xiao, you should be careful not to catch a cold. It's not suitable to stay here for too long. Let's find another place." 。"Xiao Jingyu said: "Okay, quickly find a place." 。Li Haiyan said: "The nearest one is Bailu Inn. This inn has a back door, which is not easy to attract attention." 。"Xiao Jingyu made a decisive decision: "Then we'll go there." 。Several people left the riverbank, their figures disappearing into the alleys and hurrying toward the entrance of the alley where Xiao Zhong parked his car. 。Xiao Zheng casually looked up and unexpectedly saw the seat by the door that he had sat in before. 。The door is also closed at this time. 。They dashed past. 。

After a while, the old man opened the door, poked his head out, glanced in the direction where Xiao Zheng and the others had gone, muttered "Great calamity doesn't kill," then slowly closed the door again. >>>。The old man returned to the house, picked up the flask of Maojiu that Xiao Zheng had been blowing into earlier, poured a small cup, took a sip, and sighed: "It's been ages since I've tasted this flavor. County Magistrate Xiao, thank you for this." 。。Getting into the car, Xiao Zhong immediately turned on the heater. 。Xiao Zhong and Li Haiyan both took off their coats and draped them over the two. But their clothes underneath were already soaked through and there was no way to take them off. The damp cold kept seeping in. 。Bai Lu Hotel was not far away. After arriving at the parking lot, Li Haiyan went to check in for a suite as quickly as possible, then led Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu upstairs from the parking lot, with Xiao Zhong accompanying them as well. 。After arriving at the room, Xiao Zhong saw that the suite was safe. To avoid having to see Xiao Jingyu change clothes, he said he would go and check into a room next door and that they should call him directly if anything happened. 。Li Haiyan stayed to serve the two leaders. 。Xiao Jingyu told Xiao Zheng to hurry up and take a hot shower first. 。Xiao Zheng refused, letting Xiao Jingyu wash first. 。Xiao Jingyu frowned and said, “You drank too much alcohol, you drank river water, and you caught a cold. It’s very easy to get sick.” 。Hurry up and take a shower, don't dawdle any longer. 。"Xiao Zheng told Xiao Jingyu to wash first, and Xiao Jingyu said, "This is an order, the subordinate must obey the superior, right"

Li Haiyan persuaded Xiao Zheng: "County Magistrate Xiao, you should go wash quickly." 。The faster you finish washing, Mr. Xiao, the sooner we can have hot water. 。Li Haiyan's meaning is that Xiao Zheng wouldn't go to wash first, and Xiao Jingyu probably wouldn't wash either! It can be seen that Xiao Jingyu doesn't care much about himself. 。Xiao Zheng's heart warmed, so he hurried inside to boil some hot water. 。Although hot water was poured over his body, Xiao Zheng's body still shivered and he sneezed. 。Outside, Xiao Jingyu wasn't doing much better either. Xiao Zheng heard several sneezes from Xiao Jingyu outside the bathroom. 。He was also worried about Xiao Jingyu, so he quickly dried himself off, put on the hotel bathrobe, and went outside. 。Li Haiyan hurriedly said to Xiao Jingyu, "Mayor Xiao, you should wash up quickly." 。Xiao Jingyu glanced at Xiao Zheng, then went into the bathroom and coughed softly twice inside. 。Xiao Zheng found a hairdryer and was about to blow his hair when Li Haiyan walked over and said, "County Magistrate Xiao, let me blow your hair for you." 。Xiao Zheng said: “No need, I’ll do it myself.” 。Li Haiyan insisted on taking the hairdryer from his hand. Xiao Zheng had to sit straight on the chair and let Li Haiyan blow his hair. 。A warm breeze brushed against his hairline, and Li Haiyan's soft hand gently kneaded between Xiao Zheng's hair strands, making him tremble involuntarily. 。The chill Chen Hong brought to his heart slowly dissipated thanks to Xiao Jingyu's rescue and Li Haiyan's care. 。

It turns out that there are still people in this world who care about him and love him.

Xiao Zheng couldn't help but think back to when he had fallen into the river. How could Xiao Jingyu, Li Haiyan, and Xia Zhong have just happened to be there Xiao Zheng asked Li Haiyan, "How did you know I was by the river"Li Haiyan, while continuing to gently blow on Xiao Zheng's hair, told him that after she had accompanied Mayor Xiao back to the hotel, she saw his incoming call on Mayor Xiao's phone. However, Mayor Xiao said she was a little tired and didn't immediately return his call. Instead, she went for a bath. 。Later, Xiao Zhong called Li Haiyan and said that the county magistrate of Xiao had gone to stroll around the old city alone for over half an hour and there was no response. 。Moreover, Xiao Zhong said that the county magistrate of Xiaoxian seemed to have had too much alcohol and didn't look happy, his mood was also a bit off. 。After receiving the call, Li Haiyan told Xiao Jingyu about the situation. 。Xiao Jingyu hesitated for a while, then decided to go to the old town to look for Xiao Zheng. 。They searched for a long time, and after asking many people along the way, they finally asked a middle-aged woman. She said she saw a man sitting on the steps in front of an old doorway drinking burning wine before, looking very similar to the Xiao Zheng they described. 。They followed the alley and unexpectedly saw Xiao Zheng fall into the river. Mayor Xiao didn't hesitate at all, plunging into the water to save Xiao Zheng. 。got busy. 。She asked other people in the office to help her gather information as well. She contacted friends from Sichuan, searched Weibo and online forums, and inquired with provincial departments....
