Chapter Twenty-Six: Team Soil Village
The next morning, Fei Bao and I arrived at the candle tower early in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Qixing took me and Feibao to the conference room, saying that it was to discuss, but in fact, they had already planned it. Just ask for my opinion. According to their previous investigation, they surveyed the villages on both sides of the Lion Ocean, twenty miles away from the South Sea Temple. They did find out some news in a small village in Panyu near the edge of the Lion Ocean called Teamtu Village.
There is a legend that has been circulating in this village since ancient times - a dragon once fell into the village.
Qixing took this as a clue and went to the team Tucun to find it first. I also think that this is the only way to go with the current clues, so I didn't make too many comments.
There were four of us in a car, and the wolf was in charge of driving, and we set off. I didn't say much along the way. I don't know why, after Qixing was cold to me, I gradually began to feel less like talking to her. But only Fat Bao's stinky shameless one kept talking, he kept teasing Qixing, but Qixing ignored him. He can only talk to the wolf.
In the bickering between Fat Treasure and Wolf, I learned a few things about the Research Bureau. The Special Environmental Research Bureau has been around for a long time, and the purpose has always been to find the secret of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow. But after the incident of the archaeological team seventeen years ago, the loss of the research bureau alarmed many high-level officials of the central government. Later, the boss felt that the Nine Palace Prison Cow was just a myth and legend, and it was unlikely to be true, so the Research Bureau was disbanded.
However, after a long period of hard work by the director, the Research Bureau finally applied for reorganization a year ago. The Research Bureau is always looking for talented people from various industries to join. The purpose is to unravel the secret of the Nine Palaces Prison Cow. But so far, apart from the director, the only regular employees of the Research Bureau are Qixing, Wolf and Xiaomei. And the only ones who do front-line work are Wolf and Qixing, and Xiaomei has always been a logistic. Now with the addition of me and Feibao's two internships, there are only five people in total.
The Research Bureau has a lot of privileges for the purpose of facilitating investigations. This department can dismantle a lot of state secrets. In addition, the PLA in the southern theater can be directly mobilized, and the PLA can also be mobilized nationwide upon application. As soon as the wolf said this, Fat Bao was so proud that he almost flew into the sky. The fact that I can mobilize the PLA in a theater of operations at will has also swelled my vanity a lot.
However, the wolf said that this kind of transfer of the command power of the PLA can only be used by the director of the bureau, and if we want to use the PLA, we have to apply for the director of the bureau.
I thought to myself: This bureau chief has great powers, there are only five theaters in the country, and he can deploy a theater of operations at will before the liberation, and upon application, he can also deploy the People's Liberation Army across the country. That's one out of five military commissioners. This man must be a great character.
We arrived a little over an hour. Finally, we came to the team soil village in Panyu. This small village is similar to my village, the roads are relatively narrow, the houses are relatively densely built, and this structure looks a bit oppressive. Fortunately, my family has a yard, otherwise I would have been suppressed to death by this dense building.
The wires here are also relatively messy, and the wires are hung on the poles of the street lamps one by one. Villagers' cars are scattered everywhere, and some sections of the road originally had only two lanes, but some cars have stubbornly occupied one lane to park.
It's not a great village, but it's close to nature and exudes a slow pace and freedom all the time. This is something that cannot be found in urban areas. So I prefer to live in the village.
Under the banner of looking for cultural relics for the city, we went directly to the village council. Qixing handed over the letter of introduction, and the leaders of the village committee who ate fat pigs received us one by one with smiles on their faces.
Let's not talk nonsense anymore and get straight to the point. We asked the village council if they had anything to say about the legend of the falling dragon.
A man surnamed Luo, who is the village chief here. He had a big belly and looked like he was forty or fifty years old. He told us that there is indeed a legend of a falling dragon in Tucun. Legend has it that a dragon fell into a forest southwest of the village, near the Pearl River. At that time, people also built a temple for the dragon, but it no longer exists. It's a legend from a long, long time ago. There is no way to know the exact time. This legend has been passed down from the mouth of the older generation, and the ancestral hall in the village has always been recorded.
We didn't get much information here, so we asked Village Chief Luo to take us to the forest where the dragon fell. Village Chief Luo said that it used to be called a forest, but now it has been almost developed, and only a small forest remains. There's nothing special about it either.
That village chief Luo was reluctant to take us there at first. He kept saying that there was nothing over there, just a small grove, nothing to see. I stared at Village Chief Luo tightly, his expression was a little wrong, as if he was hiding something! The more he didn't want to take us there, the more I wanted to know what was there.
We can't see the soft ones, but the hard ones. We told Village Chief Luo that if he didn't agree to take us again, we would tell our superiors that they would not cooperate with our work, and Village Chief Luo would not dare to bear the consequences. After all, we are under the banner of Guangzhou City, many levels higher than him.
Village Chief Luo had no choice but to take us there. He drove us with another fat man in his thirties and forties, also surnamed Luo, who was the head of an office in the village committee. We drove around the village with Village Chief Luo. The village road is relatively narrow, and when entering the village, the wolf has hitched the car several times. Fei Bao couldn't stand it, so he snatched the car and drove it this time.
Fat Bao often drove his Land Rover and Porsche and other things around his existence and my and Amin's villages, and this kind of thing was a piece of cake for him. But his boss's, he just doesn't want to die when he drives. It was necessary to drive fifty or sixty kilometers through the village, which scared both the wolf and Qixing. As for me, hey! I'm used to it. Because Feibao drove too fast, he had to slow down several times and wait for Village Chief Luo to lead the way.
Soon we came to the grove that Village Chief Luo had mentioned. This grove is really a small grove. At first glance, there are dozens of trees, surrounded by houses. The grove is right on the edge of the Pearl River.
We've almost finished the grove when we look at it. But as usual, let's get out of the car and take a look. We asked Village Chief Luo and Director Luo to wait in the car, and the four of us went to the grove for a walk.
When we entered the grove, we found that it was just a very ordinary forest, and there were some construction debris piled up in it, presumably thrown out by the villagers when they were building houses. It's not a good place to live.
We didn't see any traces of the temple. I guess that legend was really a long, long time ago.
"Isn't this similar to the grove in our village!" Fei Bao said.
Except for Fat Bao, none of the three of us made a sound, all thoughtful. I guess Wolf and Qixing think about the same as me!
