Chapter 497 Immortal Abode Mountain?!
They checked the information of everyone in Yashanhou Village overnight.
The data doesn't reveal much, but it's true that young people are all working and buying houses outside the area.
Although most people work very hard, many of which are manual labor or assembly line jobs, they do earn quite a lot and can afford to buy a house in the county town without any problem.
That doesn't seem to be a problem.
The older folks are attached to their homes and land and don't want to leave, while the younger ones miss their parents and only come back occasionally.
"In this village, every man and woman of their generation, there isn't a single weakling; they've all gone out to make a living," Duan Wenrui said after reviewing the information. "They're all truly amazing. The mountain east of Yashan Village must be protecting Yashanhou Village."
Su Miaoyi smiled and said, "They are indeed very capable. The village is small and there aren't many people. If someone takes the lead, everyone will follow suit and work hard. It is indeed possible."
“That’s right. Back in my hometown, most people in the village grow and raise things together,” Duan Wenrui said.
Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.
Although no problems can be seen from the data, Yashanhou Village has been placed under close monitoring.
We can't just look at the data to see if there are any problems; we need to make sure that the village is truly problem-free before we can feel at ease.
"I've contacted a helicopter, but we need to confirm the landing point in the mountains and the landing conditions, so I'll use a drone to go and check it out tomorrow noon or afternoon," Duan Wenrui said.
"Okay," Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Let's rest first."
"it is good."
Duan Wenrui didn't sleep at the police station, but instead slept in Zhuang Yanzheng's room, since there were two beds.
Su Miaoyi returned to her own room, lay on the bed, and kept thinking about the scene of Huang Qi killing people.
She felt like she was missing something in the picture, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
I didn't sleep at all last night, only slept for half an hour this morning, and then spent half the night studying materials today.
She lay in bed, thinking about the scene of Huang Qi killing people, and eventually fell asleep.
I slept soundly until dawn.
She didn't wake up until Zhuang Yanzheng knocked on the door.
"Didn't sleep well?" Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her, her face not looking too good after just waking up.
Su Miaoyi pressed her eyes together: "I dreamt all night long, I dreamt about..."
She thought for a moment and said, "I dreamed about Xie Zhiyan."
Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.
Su Miaoyi scratched her head: "I dreamt about things from when we were in D Continent. I dreamt that I was fighting with him all night long. I was exhausted."
"Team Leader Duan sent someone to buy breakfast, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Su Miaoyi picked up a toothbrush from the table by the door. "I'll wash my face and then wake up."
After she finished speaking, she said with great regret and indignation, "The key point is that I fought him all night, but I still couldn't kill him. It's really infuriating; even my dreams aren't pleasant."
Zhuang Yanzheng did not speak.
Su Miaoyi suddenly remembered: "Is there any news from the village behind Yai Mountain?"
“No,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “It was quiet all night, without any noise.”
"Are we overthinking it?" Su Miaoyi said. "Or do they know we're investigating, so they're being very careful?"
"Hopefully we're overthinking it," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Too many things have happened lately. We don't know where Xie Zhiyan is, we don't understand what the word 'immortal' means, we don't know what Qianying did in Changshi, and we don't know what's in the mountains of Yashan Village. Everything has happened at once, and now something seems off about the back village of Yashan."
"How tragic," Su Miaoyi said.
“We’re still out of town,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"Thankfully, I was able to see Xingrou today, which brought me some comfort," Su Miaoyi said.
Zhuang Yanzheng: "."
Su Miaoyi looked at him: "Captain Zhuang." "Stop, I don't want to hear it." Zhuang Yanzheng interrupted her in time, sensing that it couldn't be anything good.
"Let's hire another girl this year," Su Miaoyi finally said.
“If I’m here with you, I’ll become the admissions office,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “You’ll be the one recruiting.”
“Then I’ll recruit two,” Su Miaoyi said.
“Go ask Director Meng for a spot yourself,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi glanced at him and went to brush her teeth: "Fine, I'll go. Anyway, you're the one who made me go ask for it, and in the end, you're the one who gets scolded."
Zhuang Yanzheng: "."
In the morning, Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng went to Yashan Village again.
The people they wanted to see yesterday still didn't see them today; they still weren't being seen.
Because of their presence, people have started staying indoors and refusing to talk.
The implication from the police officer in charge of communicating with them was that they were being given face now, and if they continued to stay there, they would physically remove them.
“Listen to this,” Duan Wenrui shook his head. “They’re so powerful to us, they don’t take us seriously at all.”
“If they really start making a fuss, there’s not much we can do in the short term,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi looked at the mountains to the east without saying anything.
After searching for a long time, I still didn't find anything.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng planned to visit Yashanhou Village in the afternoon.
"Let's go eat first," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"Row."
The two were still at the west end of the village, while the car was parked at the east end.
We walked eastward through the village.
The street was very quiet; there was no one else there except the two of them.
"Who's steaming buns?" Su Miaoyi asked. "Chive and egg filling."
"Your nose is almost as good as Liu Liu's," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"It's because your nose is too bad." After saying this, Su Miaoyi suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
Zhuang Yanzheng also stopped, and was about to ask what was wrong, but before he could ask, the door of a house next door opened.
To be precise, it looks like it was smashed open.
The old man must have lost his balance when he opened the door, fell down, and smashed the door open.
The old man also fell to the ground, making a lot of noise, and Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng quickly went to help him up.
The two helped the old man up, and Su Miaoyi picked up his cane.
"Does it hurt anywhere? Please sit down." The two men helped the old man into the house, found him a chair, and helped him sit down.
"It's alright, it's alright, I didn't hurt myself." The old man touched the chair with his hand, and then touched the cane that Su Miaoyi handed him.
Su Miaoyi looked into his eyes and realized that he seemed to be blind.
"Old man, what's wrong? What happened?" the old woman inside the house called out.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just lost my balance and fell. Don't worry, I'm fine." The old man called into the house, then said to the two of them, "My wife, her legs are bad, she can't move."
"Is it just the two of you at home?" Su Miaoyi asked.
"It's just the two of us, an old man." The old man always had a smile on his face, as if it were a habit. "I can tell from your accents that you're from out of town, right? I heard that people from higher up came and want to build a road over at Xianju Mountain. Are you here to build the road?"
Hearing the old man's words, Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng suddenly exchanged a glance, and then said together, "Xianju Mountain?"
