Chapter Eighty-Six: We Are Journalists
"Uncle, buy a box of chewing gum."
The old man looked up at the two of us and smiled.
"Let's come and travel!"
I didn't bother to explain it to him, so I nodded.
"Two bucks!" The old man handed me a box of Green Arrow gum and asked for money.
"By the way, uncle, was there a man named Hong Jingsheng in our village before?"
I remembered what Liu Liwei told me just now, so I asked casually.
The old man did not answer immediately, but looked me up and down.
"...... How do you know? β
"Listen to what Uncle Yu, who fishes in the village." I replied casually.
"Which Uncle Yu? Half of our village has the surname Yu, and I also have the surname Yu. The old man stuffed the money into a drawer and continued to tilt his head to watch TV.
"I live at the entrance of the village...... I described the appearance of the old man.
"Oh, it's him! A neurotic ......"
Seeing the old man's love to answer, I didn't want to deal with him, but as soon as I heard him comment on the old man, I was angry and didn't fight anywhere, people kindly provided us with shelter, and also made a pot of delicious and delicious sauerkraut fish, such a warm-hearted uncle, was scolded as a neurotic.
"You...... Aren't you swearing? I couldn't help but scold.
The old man smiled at me: "Didn't you just ask Hong Jingsheng?" β
I nodded, and I wanted to scold him directly. I asked Hong Jingsheng just now, he mentioned Yu Laohan, I mentioned Yu Laohan, and he pulled it on Hong Jingsheng, upside down......
"Back then, it was he, Uncle Yu, who was talking about, who dragged out Hong Jingsheng, who had been put in the coffin...... It's not clear in a sentence or two, why don't you buy anything? If you don't buy anything, let's go! Don't delay me watching the TV series. β
"You ......"
When the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back, and the people in the village spoke straight, and if they said that they were good, they were real, and at first glance they were a real old man.
Walking out of the small supermarket, I handed the chewing gum to Wu Jinghan, and she took out one and stuffed it into her mouth, smiling at me.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and saw a row of red brick houses in front of them, still a courtyard, with a red flag erected in the courtyard, which was in stark contrast to the surrounding caves.
"Yo! There are still houses like this here! Wu Jinghan pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile.
Ever since her grandfather died, she hasn't been in a good mood, and I'm so happy to see her smiling happily.
"Let's go check it out!"
"Good!"
On the side of the courtyard gate, there is a wooden sign hanging on the battlement, on which are written the three big characters of "village committee".
"It turned out to be the village committee! No wonder it's so magnificent......"
Wu Jinghan pulled me to go, I just took a step, and suddenly remembered the story told by Yu Laohan, even if most of what he said was false, but the surname of the village party secretary back then would not be fake!
If it is really the same as Yu Laohan said, when the archaeological team came in 1990, it was received by the village party secretary surnamed Mao, then the village party secretary surnamed Mao must know the truth of the matter, and he knows the most.
Thinking like this, he hurriedly pulled Wu Jinghan into the courtyard.
"What are you doing in the village committee?"
Wu Jinghan seemed reluctant to go.
"Ask me something, I'll talk to you later!"
In the courtyard of the village committee, a woman was squatting in the dried fish, and when she saw the two of us enter, she first looked at it.
"Who are you looking for?"
"We want to find the village party secretary!" I hurried back.
"Ao-are you here for tourism or to buy red dates?"
"Travel!"
"Oh! The village party secretary is in the house, let's go! β
After saying that, the woman continued to bow her head and turn over the dried fish on the ground.
I thanked him, pulled Wu Jinghan and went straight to the village committee office, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a fat man in his fifties smoking a cigarette and reading the newspaper, looking at what should be the village party secretary of this village.
"Hello - I'm looking for the village party secretary......" I knocked on the door and asked softly.
The fat man put down the newspaper, glanced at me, and said coldly, "What's the matter with me?" β
Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this fat man is the village party secretary.
"We are from Shandong, and we want to know something about the village...... Before I finished speaking, I saw him frowning, obviously unwelcoming and impatient, and I had to swallow the second half of the sentence back.
"Shandong's? Know what's going on! He glared at the toad and looked me up and down again.
The tone of his voice has changed significantly.
I had no experience dealing with village officials, so I didn't know what was going on in their heads, but when I saw his attitude towards me suddenly change for the better, a bad feeling surfaced.
Depend on! Isn't he just a village official, what's the big deal...... Why is he? A few thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and I felt that it was impossible, and a plot in "Water Margin" suddenly appeared.
Li Kui went home to pick up his mother, and the smiling tiger Zhu Gui secretly protected him, during which Li Kui was not convinced by Zhu Gui and wanted to deliberately find fault, but later Zhu Gui was resolved with a "smiley face", he said that this is called "raising his hand and not hitting the smiley person".
I quickly squeezed out a smile, took out my wallet, took out two hundred yuan, and handed it over.
"I'm sorry! I came in a hurry, and I didn't bother to buy something, these two hundred yuan......"
I have to say that the charm of the renminbi kills all ages, and the fat branch secretary saw two hundred-yuan bills, and his mouth cracked all of a sudden.
"Yo! That's kind of what! He said so, but he quickly took the money and put it in his pocket, "What's the matter?" Lad! β
"I want to ask someone, is there a person named Hong Jingsheng in our village?"
The party secretary of the fat village was obviously stunned for a moment, and then slowly replied: "Yes, yes...... I've heard about him, but I was too young to tell if it was true or notβyes! You two remember, right? β
"Journalists? Right! Right! I...... We are reporters for the Yellow River Newspaper, specializing in collecting various supernatural events in China. I casually said nonsense, in fact, I don't know if there is such a newspaper in the world, at this time, it is a bit unscrupulous to achieve the goal.
Hearing that the two of us were reporters, the attitude of the fat village party secretary instantly took a 180-degree turn, and he quickly poked the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray and stuffed the newspaper into the hole in the table.
"Why don't journalists take cameras or camcorders?" He asked me with a puzzled expression.
"Now I use my mobile phone, so I have to travel lightly to interview from such a distance......" The first sentence of the lie is the most difficult, but once you open your mouth, the next thing is logical.
"I ...... My name is Chen Daliang, and I am the village party secretary and head of this village, and I am very willing to be interviewed! Saying that, he stood up suddenly, causing Wu Jinghan to laugh.
"We're from the Paranormal Channel, interview you......" I smiled at him.
"That's right!" Chen Daliang laughed twice, "You want to know about Hong Jing's resurrection after life and death, right?" You interviewed me about this, and you really found the right person! β
I scolded secretly, this word turned too fast, it was too clear just now, and now I said that I interviewed the right person, thinking about thirty years ago, he was also in his teens and twenties, maybe he really knew about it.
