"In a small place like ours, it's not easy to make money in any industry, let alone the food industry. Even if he earns 1 million a year, you can calculate how many years it will take to pay off this 100 million. ”

"One hundred years ......," Luo Fangyi interjected.

"In a hundred years, it took him two generations to pay off the money with his son. It's far away, but the debt collector at least has hope. ”

"Boss, hearing you say this, I really have to think about this investment. No way, your circle is too messy. Xiang Bei looked serious and got up to leave, "Let's go, old lady, waiting here for lunch?

Seeing this, the middle-aged man became nervous, and he got up to stop the two: "Don't worry, these stories I said are just individual cases. Do you think, you're driving on the road, and you can't meet a few fools and dumbfounders along the way? You can't stop driving because of these drivers. We not only have a dedicated team for investment project screening and fund management, which can minimize risks. ”

"No, no. I'm not sure. So, you give me a business card, and I'll think about contacting you. ”

Xiangbei casually took out a business card from the table, pulled Luo Fangyi up, and hurriedly walked out. The two of them didn't look back, and walked along the street.

"What's the matter, Master, why did you suddenly get nervous?" Luo Fangyi was surprised and stopped heading north.

"Didn't you notice the guy next to him?" asked Xiangbei.

"The guy next to you, see what?"

He didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he kept his eyes on us. He seems to have spotted my voice recorder. Xiangbei looked nervous, "I think he's the real boss of this company." As for the middle-aged man, he was nothing more than a worker. ”

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"Calm down, don't look back. ”

According to the experience of going north, as long as you go to the street and it is bustling, the safety factor can be increased a lot. The two of them walked for thousands of meters before slowing down.

"Master, before the secret visit, you didn't tell me that we were pretending to be husband and wife, and I almost didn't react. Luo Fangyi complained.

"Aren't you quick to react? I'm afraid you'll slip out. But, no matter what you say, I'll be able to get it right. So I didn't tell you in advance. Let's go, let's go to a few more companies and verify some of the information that the man just said. This draft is basically done. ”

Although the Yushan case is also a social hot spot, the case is simple, as before, the interview with the north is solid, and a lot of industry insiders have been obtained, but there are many contents that are not suitable for reporting. In desperation, the two completed the task of reporting to the society and returned to Hedong.

On the way back to Hedong, Xiang Bei made a phone call to Yu Chongming and said what he thought.

"Mr. Yu, let me ask you for instructions, I want to go to Luohe Village again and learn more about the whole case. Xiang Bei thought for a long time, and finally opened his mouth.

There was silence on the other end of the line. To the north, you can almost hear the other party's gasps due to displeasure. Half a minute later, Yu Chongming said: "To the north, this matter is over. First, the arson case has been investigated clearly, and all those involved have been arrested. Second, the people involved were dealt with. Third, the land acquisition project in Luohe Village has been suspended. Fourth, including the 17 million yuan, all the compensation has been compensated. So, everything has been settled, and you don't want to wade into this troubled water again. ”

After an "earthquake" in Hedong, Jiang Haibo was dismissed, and later he was placed in a second-line position, and his career was bleak. Due to the imminent reshuffle, the new leader was not appointed, and Ye Hui took over. As soon as he took up his new post, Ye Hui severely criticized some people at the city's mobilization meeting for acting arbitrarily and arbitrarily and not discriminating between priorities in the construction of the new district, causing some people to complain. As soon as the people in the audience heard it, they understood that these words were obviously aimed at Jiang Haibo.

It seems that the wind is about to change. Sure enough, the land acquisition project in Luohe Village was urgently halted.

For Yu Chongming's opposition, Xiangbei had already anticipated it, and at the same time thought of a plan for Yu Chongming to accept, "Mr. Yu ...... When I went to Luohe Village this time, I only learned about the situation and did not make any reports. Do you think it's okay?"

"If you really want to go, it's up to you. If you go there on business, you have to obey the arrangements of the editor-in-chief's office. ”

"Okay, Mr. Yu, I understand. ”

Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi took the newspaper car all the way to Luohe Village, and it was already afternoon. Compared to the last "lively" scene, the village has returned to calm, and the large fences erected have been torn down and rusted.

"Xiao Luo, get ready, let's stay here for one night. Xiang Bei had already thought about the purpose of this trip. The conversation with Qu Changguo after returning to the newspaper office from Luohe Village last time made him decide to take this opportunity to touch Luohe Village.

"Master, you already have an interview plan?"

"No, let's feel the situation first, for this Luohe Village, I always can't see its true face. "Even after staying here for more than ten days last time, Xiangbei still doesn't know much about it, and everything here always seems to be separated by a veil.

"On a rainy night, a hundred ghosts walk at night, and some people are mixed in and enjoy it, and on a sunny day, thousands of people are empty, and there are ghosts mixed in, and they don't know what to do. The two of them walked on the path in the village, and suddenly blurted out to the north, as if reciting ancient poems, although they deliberately lowered their voices, but the words were correct and round, and the tone was frustrated.

"What does this mean, Master, why can't I understand it?" Luo Fangyi was puzzled.

Xiang Bei asked, "Xiao Luo, are you afraid of ghosts?"

"I'm afraid. In college, every time I watched a horror movie in the dormitory, I was always so scared that I hid in my roommate's bed, hehe. ”

"Why are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Because of the horror, I panicked. ”

"Ghosts are scary or people are scary?"

"Uh...... I don't know. Anyway, I've been afraid of ghosts for so many years, but I've never encountered a ghost. On the contrary, it is the people who scare me, and I have met a lot over the years. ”

"Yin and yang are divided into two ways, people and ghosts end up in different ways, people know that ghosts are terrifying, and ghosts know that people are poisonous. People are afraid of ghosts for three points, ghosts are afraid of people for seven points, the deep sea of thousands of miles will eventually have a bottom, and people's hearts can't be touched by five inches. Xiang Xiang pulled out a string of ancient texts, "People are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are also afraid of people." Sometimes, people are more terrible than ghosts. ”

Luo Fangyi looked at Xiangbei curiously, from the first time he saw this polite man, the other party always said something unfathomable, it was really interesting. "Master, why do you suddenly tell ghost stories, I get goosebumps when you hear them. ”

"Don't say it, there are really ghost stories about this Luohe Village. Xiang Bei suddenly became interested and sat on a stone step at the edge of the village, "In the past two days, I have collected information about Luohe Village through various channels, and I saw a ghost story about Luohe Village from a book of "Folk Tales". ”

Regarding the ghost story of Luohe Village told to the north, it is probably like this:

In the early years of the Republic of China, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere and the war was raging, and Luohe Village, where the villagers once lived well, became a poor place. During the war years, the villagers fled in all directions to escape the fighting, and Luohe Village and several surrounding villages became more and more sparsely populated.

There is a small hill at the entrance of Luohe Village, next to the river. The story of the legend happened in this place.

On this day, a cattle dealer named Xiao Liuzi came to this area to collect cattle. He wandered around for a day, and then he received two cows. It was getting late, and he wanted to find a village to rest. I haven't been to this place very much, and I don't know it very well. So he walked toward the river, thinking that where there was a river, there must be people. He drove the oxen and looked very close to the river, but by the time he reached the embankment it was already dark.

Xiao Liuzi looked at a small hill by the river, and the leaves of several plane trees were blown by the wind, and he didn't know why he was a little nervous. However, Xiao Liuzi is young after all, full of yang energy, bold, and completely disdainful of ghosts and gods. He finally led the cow up the mountain bag, stood on it and looked, and there were indeed a few lights not far away. The accommodation was settled, and the little six sons were overjoyed. He tried to drive the cow down the mountain, but the cow didn't go. Xiao Liuzi dragged hard, but the cow still didn't go. He looked back and vaguely saw two children tugging at the tail of the ox.

Xiao Liuzi thought that whose child was playing on the mountain bag, and scolded loudly: "Where are the children, don't be mischievous, if you misbehave, you will find the adults in the family to beat you." He shouted, and looked again to see where there were children. Xiao Liuzi thought that he was dazzled, but he didn't care. So he dragged the ox down again, and the ox was obedient. After coming down, I didn't go far, and found a few children playing in the moonlight. Xiao Liuzi felt very strange, why didn't he go home so late. He walked over and asked what village was in front of the group of children, who knew that before they could get close to the group of children, they had already scattered in all directions.

Xiao Liuzi continued to walk, and finally came to the house where the lights were on. The family that lights it up is an old couple. The old man asked him where he was from? Xiao Liuzi told him about collecting the cattle, and then took out some money for the old man to cook something to eat. After eating, he and the old man chatted with each other.

Xiao Liuzi thought of the group of children on the mountain bag, so he asked the old man: "Why are you children here all playing on the mountain bag by the river, aren't you afraid of the wilderness and the black lights?"

When the old man heard this, his face changed: "Do you see that group of children? Hey, that's not a child, it's all a little ghost, there have been wars every day in the past few years, adults don't eat, they don't have milk, children naturally can't eat, many children die before they are adults, and even some children die before they are born." The people of the village threw the dead children into the mountain. ”

When Xiao Liuzi heard this: "Ah, this, this ......" was so frightened that he didn't say anything for a long time.

When the old man saw that Xiao Liuzi was afraid, he comforted him and asked him to sleep in the mill next to the hall.

Xiao Liuzi lay on the grass pile of the mill, unable to sleep, as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt that there was a headless child crying under the mill. Xiao Liuzi was scared and woke up the old man.

The old man said, "Don't be afraid," and went into the house and grabbed a handful of soybeans and put them in a bowl. The old man took the bowl into the mill, and there was a crackling sound of throwing beans, and the old man said, "Go back, don't play tricks here!"

After the beans were sprinkled for a while, Xiao Liuzi lay down on the grass again, and sure enough, he couldn't hear the child crying anymore, and slept until dawn.
