At eight o'clock in the morning, all the staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office, as well as doctor Han Yingyu from the county hospital, Qi Yuankai, captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau, and others set out from the county government
At the front was a Toyota Highlander driven by Chen Shaoping, Xu Xiaoping, Zhang Chaotang and Zhang Haibin, followed by a Toyota Prado driven by County Magistrate Guo Yutang and Deputy County Magistrate You Hanlu, and then two long-established Mitsubishi Pajeros. and a police Honda CRV.
A group of five official vehicles headed east from Cangyang County, passed Paolou Town, and arrived at the provincial road branch in Renli Town.
At this time, the car has been driving for more than an hour and has traveled nearly 90 kilometers. At this intersection, the road splits and goes southeast to Dongshan Township. If you continue to go east along the provincial road, you will enter Renli Town. District, if you continue going straight, you will enter Rongjiang County after more than 100 kilometers.
The car stopped here for a short rest.
Chen Shaoping got out of the car and said to Guo Yutang, who was wearing a gray suit, and You Hanlu, who was wearing a spring and autumn gown and windbreaker: "County Magistrate Guo and Magistrate You, don't you get carsick?"
Guo Yutang shook his head: "I never get carsick!"
You Hanlu also said: "No motion sickness!"
"That's good. There are still 43 kilometers to go. We will have to walk for at least an hour and twenty minutes. They are all dangerous mountain roads. Two county magistrates, this is probably your first time walking this kind of road, so be mentally prepared. !”
Chen Shaoping told Guo Yutang and You Hanlu in advance.
Guo Yutang looked calm and nodded calmly.
You Hanlu just said lightly: "I have traveled along the Sichuan-Tibet line by car, been on the 318 National Highway, and have experienced all kinds of dangerous road conditions!"
Chen Shaoping said with a smile: "I didn't expect County Magistrate You to hide things so deeply, so admirable! It's only around nine o'clock now. Let's go slow this year and try to get to the Dongshan Township Government before eleven o'clock!"
Guo Yutang nodded and said, "Let's go!"
"Old Zhao, you are an experienced driver, but this is the first time for the two county magistrates to go to Dongshan. Try to be slower and more steady!" Chen Shaoping said to Lao Zhao, the driver of the county magistrate's car, with a smile.
Lao Zhao is an administrative worker. After being transferred from the army, he drove for the county government for more than ten years and his driving skills are top-notch.
"Director Chen, don't worry, I will be extremely cautious and put the leader's safety first!" Old Zhao said with a simple smile.
Chen Shaoping was about to go back to the first car, but Guo Yutang stopped him: "Director Chen, come with us in the car and tell us about the situation on the way!"
"Okay!" Chen Shaoping got into the passenger seat.
After Chen Shaoping got in the car, he said to Old Zhao in the driver's seat: "Old Zhao, let's keep the speed down. This is the first time for County Magistrate Guo and others to take this road. I'm afraid they have to get used to it!"
Xu Xiaoping, who was in the first car, watched Chen Shaoping get into the county magistrate's car and joked: "County Magistrate Guo left Shaoping behind to escort the car!"
Zhang Chaotang smiled and said: "As long as you don't get motion sickness, everything will be fine!"
Xu Xiaoping shook his head: "You may not get car sick if you take other roads, but going to Dongshan Township, especially for the first time... I'm afraid it's a bit old!" After that, he said to the driver, Lao Li:
"Let's try to be slower and pay more attention to the situation of County Magistrate Guo and others later. What I mean is to get to the township government at 12 noon and eat mutton!"
Xu Xiaoping said half-jokingly, making the people in the car burst out laughing.
The Dongshan Township Government has already received the notice of the county magistrate's inspection, and it was arranged to have a lamb soup pot at the Dongshan Township Government at noon.
The car slowly drove onto the branch road from the provincial road. It was still an asphalt road, but the road began to become narrower. It was estimated to be only about four or five meters. On such a wide road, you have to be careful when you return to the car.
After walking like this for about two kilometers, a curve began to appear, a 180-degree turn back, combined with an incline of about 40 degrees. The large-displacement Prado engine driving on it made a roar like a bull. The roar.
After the end of a 180-degree turn back, a second 180-degree turn back has appeared at a distance of up to 60 or 70 meters.
You Hanlu looked out of the car window. All she saw were huge rocks and dense bushes. Some of the weirdly shaped protruding rocks were half in the air, as if they might fall down at any time...
After turning back seven or eight times in a row, You Hanlu began to feel dizzy. She looked ahead and looked at the car's speedometer. The speed of the car was actually only about forty yards...
"County Magistrate Guo, County Magistrate You, sit still, you have entered the rough road!" Chen Shaoping reminded.
As soon as Chen Shaoping finished speaking, the car started to vibrate violently.
On the Mao Road going to Dongshan Township, there are many protruding stones on the ground, but in the middle there is a shallow ditch due to the flow of mountains and rivers during the rainy season.
The car needs to avoid mountain gullies, run over raised rocks, and then fall into a rock pit. It is difficult to drive with large ups and downs.
Even for off-road vehicles with a higher chassis like the Prado, the ground is scratched from time to time.
The road is uneven and has big curves with slopes of 180 degrees and 45 degrees. Sitting on it is like being on a trampoline, and the speed of the car basically drops to about 30 kilometers per hour.
After walking on this road for seven or eight kilometers, we started to enter the death route.
The uneven rocky road surface has a 180-degree turn back and a slope of 40 to 50 degrees. Then there is a mountain on one side and a bottomless cliff on the other side...
At this time, everyone's lives depend entirely on the superb driving skills of professional drivers. Once the driver makes a problem, even a small mistake causes the car to slide, then the lives of all the people in the car will be at stake. .
Even though Guo Yutang had been mentally prepared, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his palms and backs were covered in cold sweat in a car that was narrow, uneven, steep, and close to the edge of a cliff.
"Our country has developed to this day, and the provincial capital Jingcheng City can be called a super metropolis. Why are there still such terrifying roads in Cangyang?"
Guo Yutang was quite emotional in his heart.
Looking at You Hanlu on the side, her face was pale and blue, and she was gritting her teeth. It looked like she was motion sick.
"Director Chen, arrange a suitable place to park!" Guo Yutang immediately said to Chen Shaoping.
"good!"
At this time, the car had just climbed a roundabout. In order to take care of the car behind it, the driver drove out more than ten meters and then found another flat place to stop.
"County Magistrate You, let's go down and get some fresh air!" Guo Yutang told You Hanlu, not saying anything about You Hanlu's motion sickness.
You Hanlu seemed to be speechless and just nodded blankly.
Guo Yutang immediately wanted to open the car door and get out, but Chen Shaoping stopped him: "County Magistrate Guo, I'll go down first and I'll open the door for you!"
Guo Yutang didn't understand what was going on and nodded.
