Tang Yong came to my gym three days before going to Peach Blossom Town, and set an itinerary with me.

Since I had read some fragments in the memories of the palace master girl who had hallucinated before, I knew that Peach Blossom Town seemed to be an ancient town with excellent scenery.

So I asked Boss Ning if he wanted to go on a trip by the way.

"You're traveling at public expense." Boss Ning said, "But, it still sounds a little good, I'll go and ask for a leave of absence from the group to see if I can go with you." After all, it's not easy for you to move, and it's not easy to go far away. ”

"What about me! I also want to travel. Furball said unconvinced.

"You are fostered in the home of my company's employees, don't be a demon!" I say.

"Humph!" Furball was upset.

He can't become a human for half a year, so I didn't bother to get this dog to the high-speed rail station to check it in.

Jiang Yuan's hometown is in a village not far from Taohua Town, so I called Jiang Yuan, planning to take him back to his hometown by the way, Jiang Yuan also said before that his stepmother took his sister's tuition fees, and told his sister to drop out of school next month, so he could only ask me for help. He has always been a person who does not want to trouble others, and he can open his mouth to beg me, which shows that he really feels clueless.

I discussed it with Boss Ning and him, and decided to take Jiang Yuan's sister and his side first to get rid of his stepmother's clutches. In the future, I will take Jiang Yuan's grandmother over. And the change of this itinerary, I also talked to Tang Yong.

Since I was traveling, my gray hair was a little too provocative, so I asked Boss Ning to help me dye my black hair.

On the morning of departure, Tang Yong came to knock on the door early, since he can be Zhao Jianxuan's personal bodyguard, he is definitely not an ordinary person, sure enough, when he came to pick us up, this person changed out of the black suit he wore on weekdays, and changed into a smart leather jacket and leather boots and gloves, which looked very much like a ......

Killer.

"This is Tang Yong, he looks cool and handsome!" Boss Ning said.

"Do you have any luggage?" Tang Yong asked.

"We've all packed up, I'll just pick it up later. Have you eaten? "Boss Ning has just made breakfast.

Tang Yong looked at me and said, "I've eaten it." ”

So he sat on the side, watching us have breakfast, which made people feel embarrassed, and he simply told me that he was sent by Zhao Jianxuan to spy on me.

While waiting for the train at the high-speed rail station, I asked Tang Yong why he didn't send a special plane over directly since the company was so rich.

Tang Yong said slowly, because the weather has been bad recently, and the terrain where we are going is rugged, and it is inside the mountains, so it is impossible to land.

"Our hometown is surrounded by mountains, not to mention that it has been very poor since ancient times, there are no resources, and no one is willing to invest, and the local people's concepts are still very backward. I'm the most educated of our kind. Jiang Yuan said, "Although it is not very far from the developed areas, it has not developed, and the local clan concept is also very strong." Even the roads are not well built. If we take the high-speed train to go there, we can only get off at the surrounding cities, then take the bus, and then walk. ”

"I've already prepared a car over there, so there's no need to be so troublesome." Tang Yong said, "The place of Jiang Yuan's family is called Jiangjia Village, and many people in the village are surnamed Jiang, right?" ”

"Yes, we are very poor there, many people can't find wives, and girls are married early, and some are married in their teens, and they can't wait to get married quickly. My stepmother just wanted to exchange my cousin for a bride price. Jiang Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "I'm afraid that in a few months, my stepmother will really force me to get married." That's a common occurrence for us. ”

"Will anyone buy a daughter-in-law too?" I asked.

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes, but not many people in our village can afford to buy wives, I heard that the buying and selling of human beings is rampant in Taohua Town, but no one cares, it is said that there are many rich people over there, and there are many people with connections and backers." In fact, what I don't quite understand is that the people in Peach Blossom Town are rich, why are they worried about not being able to find a wife, I thought that only people from poor places like our Jiangjia Village would fight singles, because girls don't want to come here to be poor. ”

"Have you ever been to Peach Blossom Town?" I asked again.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "No, in fact, Peach Blossom Town is not very far from our village, only a few dozen miles away, but the people in our village never go to the town, not even married people, my grandmother also said that the people in Peach Blossom Town are very cunning, people like us will suffer if they go, I went to play with the neighborhood children when I was a child, and some children said that they wanted to go to Peach Blossom Town to play, and they were beaten up when the adults heard it."

Taohua Town is more close to the mountains than Jiangjia Village, and there is no good road to the outside, I just heard adults say that the people in Taohua Town are richer, but I don't know why they are rich, and then I heard that there may be someone developing gold mines or something, just like the Shanxi coal boss, probably so rich. ”

"Then it's very strange, why do the people of Jiangjia Village avoid Peach Blossom Town so much, and no one wants to go to the town? It's obviously a rich town. Boss Ning said.

"It's really weird to think about it now, but it has nothing to do with me, so I don't care." Jiang Yuan said, "Maybe there are some people of the older generation in my ancestors who have suffered a big loss in Peach Blossom Town, and my grandmother said the same." ”

It's like some kind of taboo. I thought.

Sometimes, some intelligent human beings know how to avoid gods and calamities, and because they are afraid that telling the truth will be coveted by the gods, they pass down the methods of avoiding calamity in a certain taboo and folk way.

Our journey to Jiangjia Village was as long as Jiang Yuan said, but fortunately, near the high-speed rail station over there, Tang Yong arranged the company's special car in advance, which was an off-road vehicle specially used to run mountain roads.

The road was bumpy and rough, and I started throwing up when I finally got out of the car.

When we arrived at Jiangjia Village, it was almost night, and it was indeed a very ordinary and simple village, and the dirt road into the village was very narrow, and a car could barely pass through.

Jiang Yuan didn't inform the family in advance that we would come, for fear that his stepmother would deliberately hide his sister. When our car entered the village, it caused a small stir in the village, and Jiang Yuan said that it was because very few outsiders would drive to such a place. And the off-road vehicle that Tang Yong drove was a very high-end model, and he directly told me what brand it was on the road, saying more than three million.

On the way, we thought about it, if the local villagers asked us what we came from, since they were taboo in Taohua Town, we couldn't say that we went to Taohua Town, we could only say that we were here to inspect and develop.

In this small mountain village, the news of Jiang Yuan's return quickly alarmed the village chief, because he was the only college student in the village who went out, and we first went to visit the village chief, who should have the best yard in the village, and could even drive the car into his rather large yard.

When he heard that we were here to conduct a development survey, the village chief was very enthusiastic, and the courtyard of the village chief's house was quickly filled with people who came to see the excitement.

The person in charge of talking to the village chief is Tang Yong, Tang Yong is really omnipotent, and he talks about development with the village chief, not to mention the village chief who has been nesting in the mountain village for a lifetime, even I was stunned when I heard it, just like there is such a thing.

The village chief listened very enthusiastically and was very enthusiastic about us, and what surprised me even more was that Tang Yong actually told the village chief that Zhao's Heavy Industry planned to engage in ecological projects here, and wanted to sign a wave of local laborers in advance, and would start to make an appointment tomorrow.

Only then did I realize that Tang Yong was really here to talk about development!! We're just sparring!

"Why don't you talk about it first, I'll go to Jiang Yuan's house to have a look." I watched them chatting passionately.

"Do you want my help? You can't move. Tang Yong asked.

"No need, Boss Ning is here." I said goodbye and motioned to Jiang Yuan to push me to his house.

I have to say that the locals are really welcoming, I heard that I am going to Jiang Yuan's house, because the road here is potholed, and it is almost difficult for a wheelchair to travel.

The people in the mountain village had a very early schedule, and they went to bed as soon as it was dark, and when Jiang Yuan knocked on the door, the stepmother came out with her clothes on, apparently just crawling out of bed.

"Jiang Yuan! How did you get back? I said why is it so noisy! "The stepmother looks like a woman with a bad complexion.

"Mom, where's my dad?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Who did you bring with you?" The stepmother asked instead.

"It's my boss who came to the village to talk about the development project. Let's take a look at our house first. Jiang Yuan introduced me and said, "This is our President Qin, he is not in good health, you let him into the house first." ”

"Always! Yo! Come in, I'm going to change my clothes! The stepmother quickly changed her face and welcomed us in with a smile on her face.

So the whole family got up.

Jiang Yuan's father farmed at home, and at first glance, he had no authority at home, and he was submissive in front of his wife, which is said to be because Jiang Yuan's family still owed a lot of money to his stepmother's family.

"Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, hello, I want to talk to you about Jiang Ling's schooling, in fact, I plan to provide her with a bursary fund." I said directly to Jiang Yuan's parents.

"Then what's the matter, Jiang Ling's child has been planning to drop out of school recently, she has already promised to be married to her husband's family, and we have all set a bride price, more than 50,000 yuan." Stepmom Road.

"Then I'll help her pay back the bride price, what do you think?" I say.

"No, no, boss, it's not me who said, you don't understand the rules on our side, we have set a bride price from our in-laws here, and the girl is someone else's family, if you regret it, you will be punished!" Stepmom is full of quibbles. Jiang Yuan's father wanted to say something, but he was glared at by his wife, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Jiang Ling is Jiang Yuan's sister, and she is now hiding in the back room, probably because her stepmother won't let her come out.

"This ...... I was a little embarrassed, the problem of talking about inappropriateness, in fact, it can be solved by throwing money, but in this kind of place, the local villagers definitely don't have the electronic equipment for me to transfer money."

"The bride price has not been confiscated, right, since the bride price has not been confiscated, then I can also hire your daughter." I said, "I'm going to pay 500,000 yuan for a bride price, plus a car, a brand new BMW." "It's the one that Boss Ning just bought a few days ago.

When I said this, everyone present, including Boss Ning, looked at me with wide eyes.
