Although he wasn't familiar with Shi Xiaoman, Lu Yiwei felt more cordial when he saw how casual and easy-going she was. He comforted, "What's the use of being anxious? No matter how anxious you are, the sun will still rise. Just relax. Besides, you still have me. "
Lu Yiwei usually had a cold face, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome and charming when he smiled. Shi Xiaoman looked at Lu Yiwei's winking and deliberately mystifying manner, and she covered her mouth and laughed out loud. After a while, Shi Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "I don't care anymore. I'm relying on you. I am a woman. If there is a fight in Xikou Village, I will be beaten to a pulp."
Lu Yiwei said, "Alright, just watch." After saying that, he sped up the car and sped up on the road to Sanlipu Mountain.
When he passed by Xikou Village, he saw a large group of women sitting under a big locust tree at the entrance of the village, chatting idly. In the distance at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, the young people of the village were smoking cigarettes and chatting happily. It was a peaceful atmosphere and there was no sign of instability at all. Shi Xiaoman saw this and said: "Xikou Village is peaceful, unlike Beihe Village. Guo Kaisheng hires people to go to the villagers' houses every day to increase his chances for the election."
Lu Yiwei said: "What is the darkness before the dawn? This is it. What you see is only the surface. The real forces are moving in the dark. It will be very lively soon. We must find the weaknesses of both sides before they make their move. We must try to maintain a balance of interests and ensure that we pass this election smoothly. "
Shi Xiaoman felt a toothache just thinking about it. She blamed Wei Guoqiang in her heart. What was his intention in assigning her to this damned place? But no matter what, there was less than a month before the official election. She would do whatever she could. Looking at Lu Yiwei's calm expression, she felt more at ease.
At the foot of Sanlipu Hill, Lu Yiwei parked the car and took out two cartons of cigarettes and a bottle of wine from the boot. He and Shi Xiaoman walked to the cave halfway up the hill.
On the way, Lu Yiwei told Shi Xiaoman the story of "Xu Demigod". "Xu Demigod" had another name, "Third Young Master Xu". As for his real name, even he could not remember it. He was a strange old man in his 60s. He made a living by herding sheep every day. In his spare time, he would meditate in the Bodhi Temple on Sanlipu Hill. Because of his "profound knowledge", he was called "Bodhisattva Xu" by the villagers.
It was said that Third Young Master Xu's ancestors were famous landlords. He was the third son of the family. His servants called him "Third Young Master". This was how he got the name "Third Young Master Xu". After the liberation of Nanyang County, Third Young Master Xu's family property was confiscated, and he was also arrested. When he was released, he was already delirious, but he had the ability to "summon the wind and summon the rain" and "cure illnesses and seek for children". The villagers of Beihe Town worshipped him as a "God" because of his successful prayer for rain. When he was released, he was already delirious. But he had the ability to "summon the wind and summon the rain" and "cure illnesses and pray for children".
Because Third Young Master Xu had successfully prayed for rain once or twice, the villagers of North River Town worshipped him as a "God". Even villagers from other towns came to pray for children, cure illnesses, marriage, future prospects, and so on. Third Young Master Xu was a master of everything.
At this point, Shi Xiaoman interrupted him and said, "Mayor Lu, you are a member of the Communist Party and an atheist. You should believe in Marxism-Leninism. Are you also here to find 'Demi-Immortal Xu' for divination?"
