The simplest differences between rural-urban areas and suburbs are:

The urban-rural interface is an area that has expanded with the development of the city and has both urban and rural populations.

In layman's terms, it was a rural household registration before the demolition.

After the demolition, it is an urban hukou.

The suburbs are outside the urban-rural junction, surrounded by urban farmland, plains, forests, fish ponds, and chemical plants with high pollution and high emissions.

The Temple of Literature is on the outskirts.

But the mobile phone that Fang Zheng handed to the old god stick, what was displayed on the navigation APP was gradually going deep into the urban-rural junction, that is, going back.

"Little brother, why are you still going back?"

"The city is so big, but the little brother can confidently draw a general range, is there any basis for the little brother?"

The old god stick looked at the several locations marked on the map, and looked at Fang Zheng with some curiosity and puzzlement.

Fang Zheng saw that the old god stick belonged to 100,000 why, if he didn't explain it clearly, it was estimated that along the way, his ears and roots would not be clean, so he patiently explained: "I found someone to check, college entrance examination student Zhang Lihong's mother and son, when they went to the Temple of Literature to ask for a sign that day, they all passed through these places. ”

"So, from these locations, you should be able to get close to the truth. ”

In fact, there is another sentence that Founder has not said explicitly.

If it was really as simple and light as he said, Captain Fei and the others would have found the source of the supernatural event a long time ago.

In addition to the above points, the connection that Fang Zheng sensed from the ghost in Room 502 was in this area.

When the places where Zhang Lihong's mother and son have been, after superimposed screening, the overlapping areas that appear are the places that Founder finally marked on the navigation map.

It's just that the next investigation is a little unsmooth.

Transportation in the urban-rural area is not well developed.

Many places are stinky ditches and small alleys where sewage flows.

The already narrow road surface, coupled with the accumulation of debris, garbage, shops occupying the road, indiscriminately built sheds, and vehicles parked indiscriminately on both sides of the road, the road here is even more congested and difficult to drive.

In order to find a way to drive, the old god drove around the car, wasting a lot of time along the way, and barely arrived at the first place marked by Fangzheng.

The point is that there are still no clues on this trip.

Next, another problem came, the old god stick came in from the small road with randomly parked vehicles on both sides of the road, but when he wanted to go out, he couldn't turn around, and his old Jetta was blocked in the path and couldn't get out.

In the end, it was Fang Zheng who got out of the car to command, and the old god stick turned off the car several times and reversed it with difficulty.

At this time, the old god stick was already so nervous that his forehead was sweating, and the back of his robe was wet.

"Little brother, this is not a solution, it is not as fast as two legs. Finally, he finally reversed the car, and the old god began to pour bitter water with Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng thought, this is indeed too much of a waste of time.

Getting out of the car and taking a shortcut is faster than driving.

As a result, from time to time, a few wild dogs barked in the urban-rural junction, and two more people walked at night.

After about ten minutes of night walking, when he was about to approach the next marked location, the old god stick stood under a dim yellow street lamp and suddenly let out a surprised voice.

"Hey, little brother, you see there's a plum tree here. ”

Fang Zheng looked at it, and sure enough, on the opposite side of the lamppost where they were standing, there were several low old houses in the middle, and in the distance, he saw a tree with a sharp canopy coming out.

It is the plum tree that the old god stick said.

Fang Zheng didn't recognize it as a plum tree at first, thinking that it was just an ordinary tree, and he was not a goddess of wisdom, so he couldn't be omniscient and omnipotent. Nowadays, most people have long been unable to distinguish the difference between the appearance of a green tree and a fruit tree, in short, it is a tree, no matter what kind of tree it is.

It's like Asians look at Caucasians, they all look exactly the same, and they can't tell the difference between the protagonist and the passerby.

If it weren't for the old god stick, who had a lot of knowledge, Fang Zheng would never have recognized it as a plum tree.

"I can't imagine that in the city, there are still people planting fruit trees, which is indeed a bit rare. Fang Zheng had just finished speaking, but found that the old god stick had been staring at the plum tree and was still looking.

Fang Zheng's eyes moved.

"Old God, do you see something wrong?"

Fang Zheng is only half-way a monk.

Sometimes some professional knowledge still has to rely on these experienced old rivers and lakes, old metaphysics.

"Little brother, have you ever heard an old folk saying, peaches raise people, apricots hurt people, and bury dead people under plum trees? If I were this family, I would never plant a plum tree near the Yang house, which is not a good sign. ”

Hearing this, Fang Zheng's heart moved.

Fang Zheng thought about it and recalled: "I heard the elders talk about this sentence when I was a child, saying that peaches can maintain health and nourish qi, so the ancients always said longevity peach, longevity peach." ”

"Apricot is a hot poisonous fruit, and if you eat too much, it is easy to get gum inflammation and mouth ulcers. ”

"As for burying dead people under plum trees, it is said that eating too many plums is easy to weaken and hurt people's spleen, and people's spleens are often the most fragile, and spleen lesions will lead to death. ”

Who knows, the old god stick who has been staring at the plum tree intently has another saying: "Little brother, do we want to make a bet, there must be a dead man buried under the plum tree!"

Fang Zheng's heart moved.

I was really curious.

So, he began to follow the old god stick and approached the plum tree.

But walking, walking, Fang Zheng and the old god stick both noticed that something was wrong, because the plum tree was actually near the marked place on this trip.

There must be something going on here!!

The old god suddenly felt that he had lost money.

He was cautious and careful, and only bet one day's salary with Fang Zheng.

But judging from the current situation, he bets that his monthly salary is a steady profit.

For the old god stick who is greedy for money like Grande, it is simply more painful than losing his life savings, and when the old god stick was thinking about how to open his mouth and change his gambling money, in the lonely night, the two of them had already approached the family with plum trees.

It was a plum tree planted on the side of the road.

The owner's house of the plum tree is a renovated three-story building, although it has been renovated, but according to some subtle traces on the exterior wall, it can still be seen that this family has had a fire before.

"Big Hotel?"

The old god man looked up and said to an electronic signboard.

Fang Zheng shook his head speechlessly, and then corrected: "That's Tiantian Hotel." ”

Only then did the old god stick notice that it turned out that the electronic signboard was broken, and the two "ones" were not lit, but if you looked closely, you could still see the traces.

At this time, Fang Zheng, standing at the door of this hotel, turned his head left and right to look, this should be the main road at the junction of urban and rural areas, and the road is slightly wider than other places.

Placing a hotel on the side of the main road can indeed attract a lot of business.

"Little brother, do we want to dig down this plum tree and see if there are any dead people buried underneath?" the old god stick smacked at the palm of his hand, spat twice, rolled up his sleeves and waited for Fang Zheng's words.
