77.Chapter 77
Yan Zhao was not mistaken, the person who came was Chen Jianguo and Chang Yu and his party. Seeing Yan Zhao coming in, several people gave their hands one after another. The place where they stayed was not in the town, but in the police station in Qi County, more than ten kilometers away from the town.
A few people didn't stay long, took a short rest, and got into the car of Chen Jianguo and others and drove to the town. Before leaving, I heard Qi Jun choke up and say, "I'm sorry for you." β
Chen Jianguo nodded slightly, he was very able to understand the feelings of this Colonel Qi, after all, his son was now uncertain about his life and death, how could he be stable.
"Although the town is called a town, the permanent population of the whole town is only about 4,000. Although tourism is now open, it is extremely xenophobic. There are only a few dozen people who can obtain the right of residence every year, that is, a local hukou. I only heard Chen Jianguo say carefully.
"Our Secret Service guys have been here this morning. I went to the town once in the morning. On the surface, the town was no different from the rest of the town, except for one point, the compass pointer on our body as soon as we entered the town was erratic. The aura of that house town is too weird. β
Yan Zhaomo rubbed his chin and said, "Aren't you involved in the military and police!" Since the suspicion has reached the head of the house, why not just block it. Wouldn't it be better to investigate it again? β
I only heard Chen Jianguo say helplessly: "We want to do the same too." Let's not say that we are just skeptical and not affirmative. And with a clan festival going on in this town, which attracts thousands of visitors in the morning, what a panic we would have to cause if we locked it down. I'm afraid I'll startle the snake! In case this town is really a stronghold for human traffickers. These traffickers are not good, and when we do it, these dogs will jump over the wall and inevitably take these tourists hostage. So that's when it's time for us to come in. β
"In order to ensure the progress of the plan, we have dispersed and sent a lot of people to infiltrate the town as tourists. Our task is to find out where the traffickers are, drag them as long as we can, and then notify the military directly. This also ensures the safety of visitors as much as possible. β
At this point, I saw the car slowly stop. Rolling the window, a young man suddenly came up and said, "Come, brother, smoke a cigarette." Are you going to the town? β
Chang Yu waved his hand and said, "We don't smoke, why is there any trouble for my brother?" β
The young man suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Alas! I came for the clan sacrifice in this town, but my broken car broke down here. It's not far from the town, so I'd like to ask a few people to give me a ride. β
Chang Yu looked at the car behind him, his eyes moved slightly, and said, "Since that's the case, then you can come up!" β
"Okay, thank you, brother." The young man immediately said with a smile.
Wait until the person gets into the car with his big bag and the car restarts. The young man sitting next to Yan Zhao immediately took out a snack from his backpack and handed it to a few people, and said, "Thank you brothers for your help, my name is Bai Li Ji and I am a writer." This time I went to the town for the folk culture of the town. I'm here for my next book. By the way, how many of you came here to see their clan sacrifice? β
"Yes! I heard that the clan sacrifice in this town is unique, and there is a pig killing feast, so we happened to be on vacation, so we came here. Chang Yu shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Listening to your accent, brother, it looks like a Jiangsu person! Is it working nearby? Baili Ji said with a smile.
"It's not, we're just on a business trip. I happened to hear about this town, so I came to take a look. Chang Yu's eyes darkened, and he said casually.
"That's it! I heard that although the scenery of this house town is good, the people of the house town don't seem to be very easy to get along with. Baili Ji said without a match.
"Really? We'll keep an eye out! β
When we reached the ground of the house, it was already evening.
When they arrived at the place, a few people got out of the car, the breeze blew, and they only saw Baili Ji raising his head and breathing deeply, making a look of intoxication. Noticing the gaze of Yan Zhao and the others, he turned around and said, "Sure enough, it's a rural town, and this fresh air is really incomparable to that in a big city." β
Yan Zhao smiled slightly, isn't it incomparable in a big city? The air in the city is a little more PM2.5 or something at most, and there is a salty smell up and down here. Especially the aura that was surrounded by a strange aura. Let Yan Zhao suddenly feel a little creepy.
"Okay, I've booked a hotel before I came, and it's at the Heyuan Hotel. I don't know how many brothersβ" Baili Ji said as he looked at Yan Zhao and the others.
"Oh, what a coincidence! We have friends who have booked a room for us here, which is also a river source hotel. Chang Yu said.
"In that case, then we can go together." Baili Ji said with a smile.
The old town, with its blue tiles and mottled walls, runs through long streets, the faint evening sun shines on the calm stone slabs, and the cracked stone bridges. Pedestrians coming and going on the road. Tidy up the closed shop. In the eyes of tourists, this is a tranquil and tranquil town scenery that has not been broken by modern elements in the slightest. It's no wonder that the town attracts so many tourists.
Yan Zhao and the others walked into a storefront with four big-character cloth sails hanging from the Heyuan Hotel. It was greeted by a middle-aged woman with a big belly, and she was heard saying in a rough Mandarin: "Welcome, welcome, I'm the proprietress of this shop." How many of you are staying in a hotel or eating! β
His gaze swept over Yan Zhao and the others and finally stopped on Bai Li Ji, and her eyes, which were not big, were even narrower at this time, only to hear her smile and say, "This brother, it looks a little familiar!" Have you ever stayed at my hotel before? β
"Yo, the proprietress didn't see it. I'm the first time I've been back to this town. However, I can barely be called a writer, but if the proprietress really looks at me, it may be that she has watched a talk show about me. I'm a celebrity! Before he could finish speaking, the man began to laugh to himself.
Laughing and laughing, he found that Yan Zhao and the others had bet on the idiot-like eyes, and immediately choked, touched his nose and said to the proprietress: "What, we live in the hotel, and we have already booked a room before coming." β
Although it is the busiest time, there is a hotel almost every short distance in the town. So the room wasn't so tight. One person arranged a room. After cleaning up a little, I went straight out the door.
It was already evening, and when I came to a small square, I saw a lot of middle-aged men coming and going carrying chairs and other things.
"Are they preparing for a pig slaughter?" I heard a voice from the side. It's Baili Ji.
"When I heard the proprietress say you're out, I guessed you'd be here, so I followed. Who made me come alone, and know you only? Baili Ji shrugged his shoulders and said.
After speaking, he looked at the people in the small square and said proudly: "I made a lot of preparations before I came. I looked up a lot of information. No, tomorrow is the day of their clan sacrifice, and they have to prepare a pig killing feast after the clan sacrifice every year. When he arrived, the talkative-looking Baili Ji suddenly took on the role of a tour guide.
"Don't you see that mountain?" Bailiji pointed to a big mountain not far away and said, "The house town is built on the mountain, and that mountain is the ancestral mountain of the house town. The town was formed for 600 years. All of their ancestors were buried on that mountain. Even the ancestral hall of the house town was built there. Tomorrow's festival will be held there. Unfortunately, their ritual is not for people to visit! Speaking of this, Baili Ji looked regretful.
"A house town is a remote and difficult place. In the past, wild boars were rampant here. Not only does it destroy the food that the residents have worked so hard to grow, but it also often rushes into the homes of residents and harms people's lives. The people here are miserable. However, during the Wanli period, a Li Baihu of the town guard house vowed to exterminate this group of wild boars, and led the officers and soldiers of the guard station and local residents to strangle the wild boars on the nearby mountains after a month of encirclement and suppression. This Li Baihu was also unfortunately injured and killed on the way to encirclement and suppression. In order to commemorate this Li Baihu, the residents of Wuzhen set the day of his death as the family sacrifice of the town, and every year after the family sacrifice, they would kill pigs to make a feast, symbolizing the revenge for this Li Baihu. β
"Now, the tourism culture has begun to rise, and the pig killing banquet in the house town has also begun to face tourists, and I heard that their pig killing banquet is not fat or greasy, and the taste is famous far and wide. If you wish, you can come to this square tomorrow for the feast. Baili Ji said meaninglessly.
Yan Zhao smiled, the corner of his eyes swept over the surroundings, and he said arrogantly as if he had no intention of paying attention to himself and the others: "I heard that this house town used to be a penal colony, so aren't the residents of the house town now all descendants of exiled prisoners. β
Before the words fell, the eyes around him suddenly became substantial, like shovels smashing on Yan Zhao and the others.
Baili Ji suddenly stiffened his face and said embarrassedly: "Now we are all civilized and open societies, and we can't look at others with prejudice, right?" β
"Well, we're just stating the facts. That's the way it is, and it's a fact no matter how much you try to escape it. Besides, if they don't have a ghost in their hearts, what if we talk about it? I only heard Qin Yuan beside him pouting and saying.
Looking at the increasingly cold eyes around him, Baili Ji immediately coughed and said, "Since we have seen enough, otherwise let's go back first!" β
"Yes!" looked at the Wuzhen people beside him with stiff faces. Yan Zhao smiled coldly in his heart.
When he arrived at the hotel, Baili Ji said directly to the proprietress: "Boss, haven't we eaten yet?" I heard that the bacon in your house town is a must in Qi County, get a copy for us to taste! β
I saw the proprietress smile and said: "Little brother, this is good, the bacon in our house town is made of wild boar, the fragrance is rich, oily but not greasy, a few must taste it." β
Baili Ji pointed to Yan Zhao and said to the proprietress: "Okay, just send us to this brother's room." β
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Yan Zhao and the others: "I haven't thanked a few brothers for their help along the way, so I just took the opportunity to invite a few people to a light meal." β
Yan Zhao's expression was dark, but he still nodded.
The waiter who came in to serve the food was a middle-aged man, his face was full of meat, and he was not angry: "Okay, the dishes are ready, you can use them slowly." β
After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out. At the end, looking at Yan Zhao and the others inside, there was a mockery and coldness in his eyes.
Yan Zhao felt that his whole body was stiff. Baili Ji, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly patted his head and said with a smile: "It's over, I forgot that it's time to video with my girlfriend." Otherwise, eat first! My girlfriend is a little bully. I'll have to go back to her or I'll be out of luck. After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of Chen Jianguo and others, and pushed the door out directly.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Yan Zhao, only to hear Yan Zhao's cold face, inhaling deeply, then opening his eyes and saying slowly: "People, is this leading us to the truth?" β
"The truth, what truth?" Chang Yu was suddenly a little confused.
I saw Yan Zhao say coldly: "This is not pork!" β
Yan Zhao's unclear words suddenly made Chang Yu confused, and subconsciously followed Yan Zhao's words and said: "It's not pork, is it -" Speaking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but dilute his eyes. The belly is tumbling.
Yan Zhao's eyes couldn't help but be his eyes, and his hands couldn't help trembling. Eventually collapsed in a chair. Fortunately, the children have not been killed. It's still too late.
He's going to crush those beasts to ashes. Only then can we avenge this--the deep vengeance of the sea of blood.
