"Master."

The child smiled at the middle-aged man, of course, it was the cow baby in the middle-aged man's mouth.

Niu Wa went behind the middle-aged man and helped take off the bamboo basket that the middle-aged man was carrying, while the middle-aged man stroked Niu Wa's head and pointed at me.

"Niu Wa, take the frame home and tell your father, I will take a young man to talk to the village chief about something, and I will go back later."

Niu Wa nodded, picked up the bamboo basket and turned around to leave, but the middle-aged man stopped Niu Wa again and took out a handful of toffee from his pocket.

Suddenly, Niu Wa's eyes lit up when he stared at the toffee, and the middle-aged man stuffed the toffee into Niu Wa's clothes pocket.

"Go ahead, give the babies some points."

Niu Wa nodded vigorously, ran to the village with a bamboo basket on his back, beckoned the children who came to kick the bamboo and rattan balls, and began to divide the toffee given to him by the middle-aged man.

I looked at the smiling cheeks of Niu Wa and the children, and completely swept away the strangeness of this gloomy mountain bay in my heart.

At this time, the middle-aged man pointed to the mountain road on the side of the village.

"Young man, if you want to find the village chief, we won't enter the first village team first, the village chief is in the bottom three village teams, and there is still a road."

I nodded, and of course I entered the mountain road next to the entrance of the village with the middle-aged man, and continued to walk down the mountain road.

There is no abnormality in my heart, and I am no longer suspicious, but I feel that this mountain bay is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it is a quiet and peaceful place.

After about five or six minutes of walking, there was another flat land in the mountain bay below, and of course, there was a village full of tiled buildings.

I glanced around the village and saw smoke rising from many parts of the village, and it seemed that many of the villagers were cooking.

Not to mention, it's noon now, and I haven't eaten breakfast today, and I'm really hungry looking at the smoke.

Of course, there was no sound until the middle-aged man followed him, bypassed the village again, and continued to go down the mountain road on the side of the village, only this time, the mountain road became even darker, and even had a night feeling.

"Senior, why was this village built in such a dark mountain bay?"

Of course I don't understand.

"Young man, don't you know, although the light of this mountain bay is not good, it is a treasure of feng shui."

The middle-aged man replied, a smug smile on his face.

"Feng Shui Treasure?"

Of course, I was curious, and asked the middle-aged man why he said that this mountain bay, which can't be illuminated by the light, would be a treasure of feng shui.

"There is a long river under this mountain bay, and there are many wild fish living in the river.

Just now, I was carrying a bamboo basket of wild fish to the market to sell. ”

"But the fish will always be caught, right?"

I asked, and the middle-aged man shook his head again.

"Young man, you don't know that the long river below this mountain bay is connected to an underground river within a radius of several miles.

The shade and coolness under this mountain bay are most suitable for the growth of wild fish, so the wild fish in the underground river within a radius of several miles like to swim in the middle of this mountain bay, and they can't catch it at all. ”

I nodded when I heard it, and I just wanted to say that there is really a feng shui treasure land under this mountain bay.

However, at this time, the middle-aged man stared at me again and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"Young man, do you think that just because of the wild fish, this mountain bay can become a treasure land of feng shui?"

I was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask the middle-aged man if there were other magical things in this mountain bay, but the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and pointed to the bottom of the mountain road.

"When it's time, I hope the village chief will be at home."

I listened, and looked down the mountain road, and sure enough, a flat land appeared under the mountain road again, and there were all kinds of tiled houses in the flat land, which seemed to be the last village in this mountain bay, and the village where the middle-aged man said the village chief was.

It's just that this village is really quite dark, and when the breeze blows in, it directly turns into a cool breeze.

I didn't think much about it, I entered the village with the middle-aged man, looked around, and saw that there were some dried fish hanging in the courtyards of various tiled houses in the village, and there was a fishy smell in the air.

Of course, it was noon, it was lunchtime, and there was no one to see on the village road, and occasionally I met one or two middle-aged men who greeted me, but they just glanced at me and didn't ask much.

From this point of view, the bus driver, the master, is really smearing Yujiawan, because if it is really like what he said, the villagers in Yujiawan will beat the people who enter the village, then I must have been attacked by the villagers now.

Thinking about it, the middle-aged man pointed to a tiled house in the middle of the village road.

"That's the village chief's house, I hope the village chief is at home now."

I nodded, a hint of anticipation.

In this way, I went to the door of the village chief's house with the middle-aged man.

"Old age! Are old people at home? ”

The middle-aged man knocked on the door, and an old voice followed through the door.

"Who?"

As I listened, my heart was overjoyed, and the middle-aged man nodded at me.

"I, the sixth of the first team, have something to do with you."

"Oh, sixth? It's coming~~"

With the voice of the old man in the door, a sound of footsteps came from far and near, and then the door of the tiled house was opened, and a face poked out of the door.

This is a face full of wrinkles and reading glasses, of course, it is the village chief that the middle-aged man said.

The village chief glanced at the middle-aged man next to me and then looked at me again.

"There's a guest?"

The village chief smiled, pulled the door open completely, and made a gesture of please to the door.

I also smiled at the village chief and waved my hand.

"Village chief, don't be so troublesome, I came here this time to ask someone."

"Oh? Who do you want to ask? ”

"Then I'll make it clear, the person I want to ask is called Yu Geng, who originally worked as a security guard in a financial company in the city, but he got sick a few years ago, so he went back to his hometown to recuperate, and his hometown should be this Yujiawan."

I replied simply, but the village chief frowned slightly.

Yu Geng......

Young man, you better come in, I don't know what you said about Yu Geng, but maybe there is information on it, you go to the house first, etc., I'll check the information. ”

As I listened, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so I could only nod my head and thank you, and entered the tiled house.

In the door of this tiled house, of course, there was a large table, and the middle-aged man and I sat down at the big table, and the village chief went into the back room with a kerosene lamp, of course, to check the information.

I stared at the back of the village chief who disappeared into the inner door, thinking that the village chief must find out Yu Geng's information, and I must not return empty-handed on this trip.

If I return empty-handed this time, I may really not be able to punish Xu Qiucheng anymore.

However, after staring at the door of the inner room for more than ten minutes, the village chief never came out, which made me a little worried, and the middle-aged man on the side seemed to see my worry, saying that the village chief was old and would be slower to read the information, so I could be patient.

It wasn't until another ten minutes or so that the village chief finally walked out of the back room with a kerosene lamp, but after he came out, he stared straight at the middle-aged man beside me.

"Sixth, last month, Lin Blind from the second team applied for the subsistence allowance, and it seems that he took all the information of the second team, can you help me run and get the information back?"

"Of course."

The middle-aged man agreed, got up and walked out the door, of course I wanted to go with the middle-aged man, but I was stopped by the village chief.

"Lad......"

The village chief stopped me, and a pair of yellowed eyes stared at me through reading glasses on his wrinkled cheeks.

"You're from the city, aren't you? There's something I want to ask you, old man. ”

I listened, although I was anxious about Yu Geng's affairs, but staring at the yellowed eyes of the village chief, I didn't know how to refuse, so I could only sit back on the bench.

"Village chief, you say, I'll tell you everything I know, but although I live in the city, I really don't know much."

The village chief nodded.

"That young man, do you know Jobukuk-University?"

I was stunned when I heard this, because there was no university in the north of our city, only high school.

So, I shook my head at the village chief.

However, the village chief asked me if I didn't know or hadn't heard of it.

"As far as I know, there is no university in the north of the city."

I replied truthfully.

In an instant, the village chief's yellowed eyes widened, and he smashed his fist on the wooden table.

Looking at the old man in his sixties and seventies, this punch smashed the entire wooden table and trembled.

Of course, I was frightened, staring at the angry village chief, and I didn't know what the situation was.

It wasn't until the village chief gradually calmed down, closed his eyes and took a deep breath that he looked at me again.

"I'm sorry to scare you, boy."

"It's fine."

I shook my head and asked the village chief what was making him so angry.

"Hey."

The village chief sighed, his voice full of helplessness, and also explained the reason for the incident.

Quite simply, the son of the village chief started a business in another province and handed over his grandson to the care of the village chief.

The grandson of the village chief told the village chief a year ago that he had been admitted to university and was going to study in the city.

Of course, the grandson of the village chief was talking about Chengbei University, and the village chief couldn't leave because he was busy with the management of the village, so he never went to the school to see it, and he didn't know if what his grandson said was true or false.

"The village chief, when did you start suspecting your grandson of lying?"

I'm a little curious.

"In the past few months, the rabbit cub has been sending me money, and I wondered, how can I make money by studying in college, but I didn't expect that he really lied to me, and he was not in college at all."

The village chief said, sighing and shaking his head.

"That's not a bad thing."

I persuaded the village chief, saying that studying is not the only way out, and the village chief's grandson made money, and the first time he thought of sending money to the village chief, it can be seen that the village chief's grandson is a very filial person.

In this way, I chatted about this topic for more than half an hour, and just when I was a little puzzled, why the middle-aged man who went to the second team to get the information hadn't come back yet, a figure suddenly appeared from outside the tiled house.

"Oh no, no, no!"

The figure leaned against the tiled door, shouting at us in the lobby, panting for breath, it was the middle-aged man who had left earlier.

"Oh no, village chief, Niu Wa...... The cow baby is gone! ”
