Deserted Border Village (3)

The dark shadow flickered in the corner, as if it were just a wild cat, hidden in the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Zhao Xie firmly believes in his own judgment.

The people who followed him have found this place.

Although he had been to Yangting Ancient Town once, when he moved in, he had already roughly observed the surrounding terrain. Keeping track of people is not a problem. However, the situation is unclear now, I don't know how many people there are on the other side and what the purpose is, and if I chase rashly, it is easy to fall into the trap of others.

Zhao Xie did plan to come to find out, but he didn't plan to follow the path that others had drawn for him. In this situation, since the other party sneakily does not plan to show up, he does not dare to toss any moths in front of him, it is better to recuperate, and wait until Yuncun arrives.

Turn off the lights, and at the entrances and exits of the entire house, use a fishing line as thin as a hair, plus some small objects that can be reached at hand to make drapes, and lay out the simplest "alarm net". If someone tries to sneak into the house while he is asleep, he will definitely teach him to come and go.

After a night like this, the wind and waves were calm.

Early the next morning, Zhao Xie picked up a rented professional mountain bike, had a simple breakfast, and immediately hit the road.

There are seven or eight cycling routes from Yangting Town, and one of them leads to Yuncun. Therefore, when I first came out of the ancient city of Yangting, there were still more tourists who rode bicycles. If there are trackers, they should also be mixed in with these people.

Zhao Xie did not deliberately guard against his opponent. First, since the other party ******** lure him to Yuncun, it is actually the same as not following, as long as he waits in Yuncun.

Second, after all, this is the territory of Long Kingdom, and hot weapons such as guns and ammunition are strictly controlled. He has also been to Yun Village, and the villagers are relatively honest. In such an environment, the other party would never dare to openly attack an active-duty officer.

I rode this way, and sure enough, I didn't feel any traces of tracking.

Although the road to Yuncun was rough, it wasn't bad. Zhao Xie's physical strength is excellent, and the professional mountain bike he specially found is relatively light, and about four hours later, at lunchtime, he entered the boundary of Yuncun.

This small mountain village is still the same as he had four years ago, surrounded by green hills, poor and remote, after a few years, the mountains have not been developed and cultivated, and the farmland is scattered, as if it is less than a few years ago, and patches are overgrown with weeds.

At first, Zhao Xie thought that the young people in the village were also like many rural youths in Longguo, who went out to work in the city, but there were not enough manpower, so the farmland was deserted. But when he walked into the village, he found that his ideas were not accurate. Almost every family in the village has young and strong offspring, some stand in the yard, some simply sit on the gate pier, and just don't go to work in the fields.

Seeing him, an obvious outsider, enter the village, these young men all looked him up and down with a wary gaze. Zhao Xie sensitively felt that the people in this village, in terms of expression and posture, were not the same as before.

Although young people are lazy, it is better to have a middle-aged labor force than not to have it. Some of the families in the village said goodbye to their adobe houses and built small brick and cement two-story houses. Although the houses are very rough and cannot be compared with the rural areas in the developed areas, the people who can build such houses are also families with young laborers.

The only small inn in the village, on the contrary, was in disrepair and dilapidated, and the stairs creaked when stepped on. Compared with the brick house next to it, this once beautiful little inn is as shabby as the long-term worker next to the landlord.

Zhao Xie also noticed that except for some particularly dilapidated and seemingly uninhabited old houses, almost every household here has a generator in their yard. No wonder the smell of diesel fuel wafts through the air from time to time.

The owner of the inn hasn't changed, it's still the old minority grandmother from a few years ago, but it's a little older.

She obviously remembered Zhao Xie, this outstanding young man, even in the two years when there were the most explorers in Yuncun, she rarely saw it, not to mention that in these two years, Yuncun was almost completely isolated from the world. The old grandmother also asked in a thick dialect about the whereabouts of the beautiful girl at that time.

Zhao Xie couldn't answer, so he could only smile slightly and didn't speak. Time flies, fate is impermanent, grandma is getting older day by day, and the young people who were fresh and beautiful at the beginning can never come back.

Grandma is old, in fact, she can't remember what she asked, so she chattered vigorously, and finally caught someone talking to her, she looked very happy, and she also cooked fish and entertained guests.

Zhao Xie took the opportunity to ask her why there was no electricity and running water in the village. In recent years, Longguo has made great efforts to build rural areas, and the water and electricity network has entered the countryside vigorously, and Yuncun is like a forgotten corner.

"Why didn't the country think about us!" Speaking of this, the old grandmother just chattered unhappily.

It turned out that as early as two or three years ago, the local government had planned to connect water and electricity to Yuncun, but just like building a road, the villagers of Yuncun were driven back with hoes and shovels. The villagers here seem to have an instinctive fear and aversion to all things modern.

Later, a few descendants in the village had a chance to go to the provincial capital, and when they came back, they bought dozens of generators for the village in case of emergency. The old grandmother has no children and no daughters, and it is rare that the descendants can also take care of the old people in the village, and the inn also uses the old one.

Since he knew the benefits of electricity, why didn't he apply for electricity in the village? Zhao Xie was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't ask the owner of the inn.

He felt that these old people who were taken care of by the "offspring" did not know what the young adults in the village had done in the past few years. However, he had a hunch that something must have changed in the village in the past few years.

After hastily eating a lunch that I don't know what it tasted like, Zhao Xie didn't rest, but left the inn and walked around Yun Village.

When they left the village, most of the idle youths were no longer standing in the courtyard. But through the window, Zhao Xie could still feel that weird, surveillance-filled gaze.

Can't this village be all undercover agents sent by his secret rivals?

Tongyun Tower is about five kilometers away from Yun Village, at the foot of a large mountain, with its back against the mountain and facing the lake. It is said to be a lake, but in fact it is a relatively large pool, there is no serious name, probably because it is next to Tongyun Tower, and some people want to save trouble, calling it "Tongyun Lake".

Zhao Xie walked around the village, but did not find anything strange, and next, he planned to go in the direction of Tongyun Lake. At this time, it was already close to evening. However, the danger of walking at night is obviously not in the consideration of this special forces.

At this moment, suddenly, he had the feeling of being watched again!

This feeling is different from yesterday's tracking in Yangting Town. If yesterday it was a fierce beast of a yin owl hiding in the shadows, then today's one is probably barely a hairy-footed chicken...... (To be continued.) )
