"Lord Blue Phoenix, you're back." It was the little old man who came out yawning, and he smiled all over his face, and said, "After staying up all night, we can't stand a few old bones, my lord, you also have to pay attention to your body." ”

Suddenly, the blue phoenix was a little uncomfortable.

The few people who followed the little old man were the same, and they came around.

"Let's stop here for today, my lord, you see that you still have to work on the preparations for the ceremony, and we are not in a hurry about this stranger's business."

"Not in a hurry?" Blue Phoenix was stunned.

The little old man followed and said: "That's it, Zheng Bang can't come, then change people, if he comes, then talk about it." ”

Blue Phoenix broke away from a few people and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, everyone, I want to say that this matter is very important, I came to you today just to confirm this matter, Comrade Zheng Bang is afraid that he will not be able to come......"

Before she finished speaking, several old men looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"My lord, didn't you say that you are not in a hurry? A few of us are old, and we don't care about waiting for a day or two, okay, okay, you can go to your ancestral ceremony, we are not in a hurry. ”

Blue Phoenix was stunned.

As soon as Zheng Bang couldn't come, at the beginning, these old men were like ants in a hot pot, how could they suddenly - could it be that they knew about Zheng Bang?

Can...... It's impossible.

Blue Phoenix narrowed.

They didn't have any contact at all, and few people in the village knew that Zheng Bang was there. She originally planned to let these old men tell the truth, take Zheng Bang's power as a stranger, hide his identity, and wait for the ceremony to be announced.

But there doesn't seem to be such a good thing at the moment.

She sighed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this stranger's business can't be delayed any longer." She said respectfully.

Who knows, the more Blue Phoenix said this, the more these old men ignored it, and even regarded it as not hearing at all.

"Let's go back, I haven't slept all night, my ears are tired and tired, I can't catch up with the trip, let's go!" As soon as the little old man greeted, several people greeted the blue phoenix with a smile, and they scattered like birds and beasts, and they couldn't stop it.

It wasn't until the blue phoenix stopped moving in the room that the little old man and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They pulled out a piece of paper from their sleeves, and a bunch of stuff was written on it.

The long-robed old man leaned over, and by the faint light, he could not see very clearly, and asked:

"Is this thing reliable?"

The little old man smiled:

"I think it's okay, didn't you just let that woman be deflated?"

"That's what I said." The elder in the long coat was vague.

"The most important thing is that Zheng Bang is here." The little old man smiled and said.

By the afternoon of the next day, the atmosphere of the celebration spread through the streets, with lights everywhere, the milky white streets were covered with colorful strips of cloth, lantern flags were displayed in the air, and the street market activities prepared by the blue phoenix also made several major merchants in the village make a lot of money.

Chai Guangmo stretched his waist and walked around the street with Zhao Leng.

The shouts on the street came and went, and the atmosphere was so peaceful that the two of them almost forgot their mission.

"What's weird about this place?" At least Zhao Leng didn't see it at all, she almost melted into the festive atmosphere of this temple fair.

And no wonder.

In addition to candy and snacks sold on the street, all of them are some novel and funny trinkets, Zhao Leng is after all

A little girl, I can't resist it. After a short time, she had already opened her bow left and right, and her hands were full of snacks and toys, like a child visiting a temple fair.

Seeing her like this, and asking such a question, Chai Guangmo was helpless, so he could only press his forehead and say:

"Don't forget what we're here to investigate."

"What?" Zhao Leng asked with his big innocent eyes flashing.

"......" Chai Guangmo was a little speechless.

"I lied to you!" Zhao Leng smiled: "I haven't forgotten, isn't it to find out the mastermind behind the recent bad incidents?" ”

"Do you remember what the guy surnamed Guo said?" Chai Guang indifferently lowered his face: "He said, this is their next target point, and it is also their base." ”

"Not really." Zhao Leng stuck out his tongue: "I think this is an ordinary tourist village, and what the person surnamed Guo said may not be the truth." ”

"What he says is naturally half-true." Chai Guangmo nodded: "But if you think that there is no mystery in this village, then you can take it lightly." ”

"How?" Zhao Leng's eyes widened.

"You can't just look at the surface." Chai Guangmo unloaded a small windmill from the top of Zhao Leng's head, and snatched a lollipop from her hand while she was unprepared.

"There's something else behind it. For example, if you think about it, how can such a small village with no water and no resources at its back be so prosperous? Chai Guangmo asked.

Zhao Leng didn't give up, but his hands and feet were not as long as Chai Guangmo, and his movements were not as agile as him, so he puffed up his cheeks angrily, shook his face and asked, "Prosperous?" Where is it prosperous? ”

"Not to mention the market that is full of streets, and the number of people who are beyond normal reason. I'm just asking you, what good is it for so many people to live here? Did you know that there's not even a road here? ”

Zhao Leng flattened his mouth: "Maybe there are some natural resources." ”

"I've checked, at least there's no place like this within a ten mile radius."

"You're so idle." Although he said this, Zhao Leng also felt that something was wrong. "That's—could it be that you're thinking too much, it's just that there are more people."

"Is that really the case?" Chai Guangmo shook his head: "I saw it when we were shopping, there are many dark lines on the road, maybe electric wires, and the homestay we live in and the apartment buildings everywhere also prove that the modernization of this village is not low." ”

"Isn't that weird?" Zhao Leng asked.

"If the village is really flat on the side of the road. Not surprising. But do you know how expensive it is to do these infrastructure projects in such a small village in the mountains? Chai Guangmo asked rhetorically.

Zhao Leng shook his head.

"What's more, I roughly estimate that the farmland in the mountains, even if you count the terraces after the felling, is not enough to feed the population of this village."

Zhao Leng narrowed his eyes: "Then what about their food?" ”

"I'm afraid we have to import it from other places – but do you think it will cost to import food in such a closed area?"

"Hmm...... Why do you want to do this, why not just move to the city or suburbs? Zhao Leng was puzzled.

"I don't get it either." Chai Guangmo nodded: "It stands to reason that this will be done under normal circumstances, but this village is different." I asked someone, and they said that there were ancestors here. ”

"Superstition?" Zhao Leng pouted: "If it's superstitious, it can be explained." ”

"But superstition doesn't make people fed." Chai Guangmo shook his head: "So, there must be some way or reason for them to stay, and there must be enough."

Enough resources, or "money", to ensure their livelihood. ”

"Money?" Zhao Leng looked around: "The village is full of low residential buildings, and you can't even see the workshop, let alone the factory, how can you make money?" ”

"It's worth playing." Chai Guangmo patted Zhao Leng on the shoulder and whispered, "Let's go see Zheng Bang first, this guy may know something." ”

"Good!" Zhao Leng nodded.

The two arrived at Zheng Bang's apartment, but they were dumbfounded.

The apartment building is also a milky white brick wall, with a total of nine rows, and the floors are not high, each row has only three floors, and there are more than ten households on the first floor. Zheng Bang was in the middle row, and when Chai Guangmo and Zhao Leng rushed to the bottom of the building, it was full of people, and it was even denser than the downtown block.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Leng's heart skipped a beat.

"Let's go and have a look." Chai Guangmo grabbed Zhao Leng's arm, and the two hurriedly crawled through the crowd, dumbfounded - they came to the low building, and saw a huge hole with a diameter of two or three meters in the center of the second floor, the hole was deeply concave, and a room disappeared like a piece of meat that had been stripped away.

"Probably not!" Zhao Leng gasped, could it be that Zheng Bang was !!

"What are you two looking at?"

Just when Zhao Lenghan's hair stood on end, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind, but this voice was ethereal, like a demon in the daytime, and the waves were not very clear, but like Zheng Bang.

Syllable.

The warm and damp palm was attached to Zhao Leng's shoulder, she was so frightened that she jumped three feet high on the spot, twisted around, threw the palm off her body, and shrank behind Chai Guangmo.

Although I wondered, if this Zheng Bang died unexpectedly, how could he become a water ghost.

"Yikes!" Zhao Leng hurriedly closed his eyes, his eyes were white, and in a trance, even the colors were not clear.

In the chaos, she rushed to the doctor, and hurriedly grabbed Chai Guangmo on the side, who was also sweating on his hands.

"You, you, you, why are you here!!" Zhao Leng still didn't dare to open his eyes.

"I live here, what do you say?"

Zheng Bang's voice is still glutinous, fluttering, and very unreal.

"Your ...... Your business has nothing to do with us! Zhao Leng stuck out his tongue, feeling that his whole body was suffering from the cold aura of this "water ghost", and his throat and eyes were almost struggling to scream.

"How so? We've come all the way. ”

The voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the wet smell reached Zhao Leng's nostrils, and the whole person was like a little mouse being targeted by an old cat, and he didn't dare to move.

"One, all the way?" Zhao Leng trembled, only felt that his mouth was filled with cold air, and he couldn't understand what kind of "road" this "way" was - maybe he understood, but Zhao Leng was not willing to admit it.

"I, when have I been with you all the way—okay, old friend, stop pestering me, there's a debtor—"

"What do you say? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? ”

Zheng Bang's voice became more and more lively.

"Didn't you die unjustly in your apartment, then that, that and that, someone planted a bomb or something, no, no, no, no, it's none of my business!" Zhao Leng's eyes closed even tighter, and the whole person shrank into a ball, not daring to move.

"Oh! That's what you say? Zheng Bang seemed to have a sudden realization. I understand. ”

"You understand what!" Zhao Leng felt that his lungs were about to freeze, the blood in his body was going down, and the heat in his abdomen was surging.

"Come, open your eyes."

"Nope." Zhao Leng replied very simply.
