"Although our Wuming City is not as busy as a big city, it is still beautiful and the air is fresh. Xiaoshen, you can work here with peace of mind. If you have any difficulties or requirements in your work, you can feel free to mention it to us." Du Zhonghai drank it. A sip of tea and a smile on his face.

Shen Changan's eyes fell on the stainless steel thermos cup in Director Du's hand. I don't know how long this thermos cup has been used. The gloss on the surface of the cup looks a little dull, and there is a layer of brown tea stains on the bottle mouth.

It wasn't because the teacup was too attractive that he let him stare at it, but he was afraid that if he moved his gaze a little further up, he would see Director Du's shiny head. He didn't want to let the leader think he likes to look at the shortcomings of others on his first day at work: "Thank you, Director."

Du Zhonghai smiled and nodded. The young man sitting in front of him had a handsome appearance, white and black skin, and a pair of eyes hidden behind rimless glasses with a smile, a look that appealed to girls.

"You are new here, so don't be too anxious about work." Du Zhonghai instructed a few more words, seeing the young man keep smiling and nodding, so he was satisfied and let him get acquainted with the job.

After Shen Chang'an left, Du Zhonghai sighed, the city is not big, and the people's livelihood service department is called the logistics and pension department. He didn't understand why Shen Chang'an, a big city, came to work here. It was only after a copy of Shen Changan's personal details was passed on to him that he realized that there were so many hidden secrets behind him.

After his parents died in the line of duty, they were worried that the criminals would retaliate against the young Shen Changan. The relevant departments changed Shen Changan's name. After raising him, they tried to get him here to work. I'm afraid they wanted him to live in peace. lifetime.

Wuming City has beautiful mountains and rivers, simple folk customs, and is not valued by the outside world. It is indeed a good choice to arrange Shen Changan here.

After coming out of the director's office, Shen Changan was warmly received by his colleagues. After some self-introduction and greetings, Shen Changan confusedly agreed to the colleagues to go to dinner in the evening.

Probably... Delicious food is the link between souls. Shen Changan felt that these colleagues were amiable and amiable, and even their Mandarin with local dialects from time to time became cute.

In addition to him, there are five people in the office. The oldest is Gao Shujuan, who is ironing a wool roll. Although she is the deputy director of the department, everyone calls her Sister Gao. She speaks a little loudly, but she looks very enthusiastic. The other three colleagues are all young people. Ding Yang and Chen Panpan have just graduated a year or two, and they are full of youthful vigor. There was only one colleague named Xu Ze who didn't talk much, but when he decided to have dinner together in the evening, Shen Changan saw that his head was nodding quickly.

After listening to everyone chatting for half an hour, Shen Changan looked at the clean desk in front of him and asked curiously, "What do we usually do?"

The office fell silent in an instant, and even Xu Ze, who seemed to be cold, coughed uncomfortably.

"That Xiao Shen, our civilian service department has just been established, and we were all transferred from other positions." Gao Shujuan's index finger hooked the curly hair on her forehead, "Our department is called the people's livelihood service department. Of course, my job is to serve everyone’s life.”

Shen Changan pushed his glasses, feeling that there was an atmosphere called embarrassment in the air.

"Everything related to people's lives is our scope of work." Ding Yang smiled, "In other words, we are a brick, and we can move it wherever we need it."

"Then... that's quite remarkable?" Shen Changan was stunned for a while, and then forced out such a sentence, "Then what is our latest job?"

"Create a new style of civilization and promote the scientific concept of development." Xu Ze took out a thick stack of colorful leaflets from the drawer and put it in front of Shen Changan, "This is newly printed today, you have to see see?"

Shen Changan took the top flyer. The quality of the flyer was not good. It was a bit like a small street advertisement. Several rows of large characters were printed on the flyer in bold.

It is better to build more roads than to worship gods and ghosts.

If you are ill, don't ask the fairy godmother, the hospital will be happy when the medicine arrives.

The fox fairy, the earth fairy, Huang Daxian, it is better to work hard to make money.

These little slogans are so simple and crude. Shen Changan coughed dryly and put the flyer back in place: "Who thought of this slogan?"

Xu Ze raised his head: "I."

"It's really well written, catchy, and easy to remember." Shen Changan nodded heavily to show that he really meant what he said, "It's very practical."

Xu Ze looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then said slowly, "I admire you very much."

Shen Changan: "Huh?"

Xu Ze: "There are not many people with an appreciation level like you."

Shen Changan: "Thank... Thank you?"

After lunch, Shen Changan thought that their job was to go out to hand out flyers, but Ding Yang told him that the two of them were going out to work.

"Wait." When he was about to go out, Ding Yang took out a reduced version of the photo from the drawer. Shen Changan glanced at it accidentally, and found that the photo turned out to be the heads of the great men.

Seeing Shen Changan staring at him, Ding Yang paused for a photo, then took out another one from the drawer: "You... want it too?"

After taking it out, Ding Yang regretted it. He heard Director Du say that the new colleague is a top student from a big city. Although he didn't know why he came to work in their department, he heard that Director Du spent a lot of money to introduce this talent. Less effort, even the hair on the forehead lost a few more.

Such a talented student, how can he be like him, because he is not courageous enough, and needs pictures of great people to strengthen his courage.

"Thank you." Shen Changan took the photo and put it away like Ding Yang: "What are we going to do this afternoon?"

"Something happened in Maize Village. The villagers were making a noise about ghosts, which made people panic in the neighboring villages. Let's go and see what happened, so that the villagers can feel at ease." Ding Yang put his mobile phone away and took it with him. Shen Changan walked to a tattered van, turned his head and glanced at the clean white shirt on Shen Changan's body, opened the door, and wiped the passenger's seat with a dusty coat. There are nearly 30 kilometers here, we will go early and return early."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Shen Changan was actually sitting in the driver's seat, and hurriedly said: "The road over there is not easy to drive, you sit at ease and let me come."

"Oh." Shen Changan glanced at the steering wheel, got out of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

The country road has not yet been repaired, and the road is covered with a layer of gravel. The van is driving on this kind of road and makes a jingling sound. Shen Changan can't help but wonder if the car will not reach the destination. , it fell apart

"Ignorance and superstition hurts people." Ding Yang is used to this kind of country road, and his body is dangling in the car, but his face remains unchanged, "A few years ago, some villagers believed the words of the liar and drank the gods of unknown origin. Water, more than a dozen people were sent to the hospital, two people were not rescued, and the people were gone."

"There are also some old rascals who say that some women have evil spirits, and they want to exorcise them and take the opportunity to deceive money and sex." Ding Yang sighed in anger, "As long as people are greedy, it is difficult for liars to kill them all. All we can do is raise everyone’s vigilance and minimize everyone’s losses.”

"It's only two or three o'clock in the afternoon, why is the sky so gloomy?" Ding Yang rambled on for most of the way, and found that something was wrong. He raised his head and glanced at the sky, "There may be a heavy rainstorm later."

Shen Changan probed and looked at it. Thick dark clouds covered the sun, and the whole sky seemed to be pressed down. This was a precursor to the pouring rain. He glanced at the mountains on both sides of the road and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "If the rain is too heavy, will there be landslides?"

As soon as the words fell, large drops of rain fell from the air, making the windshield crackle, and it was pouring rain in a moment.

Ding Yang didn't dare to drive the car too fast, the wipers kept scraping the windshield, and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, he couldn't help but cursed: "The sun is a golden retriever, what is the weather forecast department? Can the time be accurate?"

"Be careful." Shen Changan helped him hold the steering wheel and avoid a boulder in the middle of the road. He tilted his head to look at Ding Yang and breathed a sigh of relief, "This section of the road is too dangerous, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."

Looking at the boulder on the side of the road, Ding Yang trembled slightly in his heart. If something really happened here, he couldn't go to the village or the store, and there were no passers-by. He and Shen Changan might explain it here. .

"Go back first." Ding Yang looked at the dark sky, "We will go to Corn Village when the rain stops."

"You take a rest first, let me open." Seeing Ding Yang's trembling hands, Shen Chang'an opened the car door and walked out.

Ding Yang didn't dare to give the car to Shen Changan, but now it's raining and windy outside, and his hands are shaking a little, so he can't drive this kind of muddy road.

He gritted his teeth and gave the driver's seat to Shen Changan.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang." Shen Changan sat in the driver's seat, took off his glasses, wiped his clothes, and smiled brightly at Ding Yang, "My driving skills are not bad."

Ding Yang wanted to instruct a few more words, but met Shen Chang'an's smiling eyes and held back his words.

He speaks so confidently, it should be... no problem, right

A few seconds later, Ding Yang found that he was still too naive. There was really no problem with Shen Changan's driving skills, but it was too much.

"Ah!"

"Chang'an, stay awake, you are driving a van, not a plane!"

Although this van is always ridiculed by other car owners as a god, it is actually a cheap old van!

"Brother Yang, you don't have to worry, trust me, there is absolutely no problem." Shen Changan turned the steering wheel, and the van made a sharp turn on the winding road. Ding Yang felt as if he was flying in the air.

He looked at Shen Changan in despair, and at this moment, he felt that the glasses on the bridge of Shen Changan's nose shone with a shuddering light.

Boom!

A rock fell, and the van avoided the attack of the rock with almost drifting speed. Shen Changan grinned at Ding Yang, "Look, I'll say no problem."

Ding Yang trembled and did not dare to speak.

Please don't call me brother in the future, as long as you don't be the God of Qiu Mingshan Bike, I am willing to call you father.

For some reason, Shen Changan drove the car very fast, but Ding Yang felt that they had been circling on the mountain road all the time, and the rain had never been small.

"Brother Yang, the rain seems to be getting heavier." Shen Changan frowned, "Do you want to drive faster?"

"Chang'an, do you think that this road... is very long?" Ding Yang was shaking, his face was not small, and it was pale.

"Is there?" Shen Changan raised his eyebrows, "Maybe it's because you want to go back too much, so you have this illusion." He said, "Don't worry, I already wrote down the road when I came, and I won't be able to drive. It's the wrong way, it really doesn't work, and there's still a mobile phone for navigation, why don't you sleep for a while?"

Ding Yang looked at the dense cypress trees outside the car and shouted in his heart: No, I don't want to sleep, I can't sleep!
