Chapter 562: Investigation
I looked along the big pipes and saw that they led up to a factory building with several large chimneys towering into the sky. ()
The abbot pointed to the chimney and said, "See? It's polluted. So there's something wrong with the corpses. ”
I nodded, "You have a point. But are you sure the pipes are coming out of the building? ”
The pipes were all buried in the ground, except for an exit to the river, and no one knew where it came from.
The abbot said: "There is only such a factory here, if it is not them, who will it be?" Even if it wasn't, it was the most suspicious. ”
I pointed to the chimney and said, "But two of them are not smoking, and the remaining one is also white smoke." ”
Wushuang asked me, "What does white smoke mean?" ”
I said, "It's been treated, and it's less polluting." ”
Wushuang frowned and said, "Two days ago, we talked about sleep around here. When he woke up, he had a layer of black dust on his body. Didn't it come out of this chimney? ”
I said, "At least not from the white smoke chimneys." ”
King Jizo said, "Let's go over and see what the hell is going on." ”
A few of us nodded and walked over to the factory.
The closer I got to the factory, the trees on the side of the road, and the crops in the fields, all black, with a fine layer of black soil on them, which looked like ground pencil leads.
The abbot pointed to the trees and said, "What do you think?" Aren't these trees telling the story yet? ”
I nodded silently.
At this time, the red sun fell in the west, and it fell right above the chimney. I looked over there and saw that the blackened factory was printed with a touch of red, which was also very beautiful.
Just as I was enjoying the view, there was a sudden roar from the factory without warning, more than three or four times louder than before.
We were all taken aback, for fear that the factory was going to blow up. As a result, after waiting for a while, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
By this time it was already completely dark, and the abbot asked, "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”
I scratched my head and said, "Just go in and have a look." But be careful, don't fall into the machine if it's dark. ”
Wushuang suddenly asked, "Is it raining?" ”
At this time, I also felt it, crackling, something falling on my head.
The king of Jizo still looked like a high-ranking monk, his palms were folded, and he did not move, but his mouth said solemnly: "It's not raining, it's the dust in the chimney that has fallen." ”
I touched my face with my hand, and sure enough, my fingers felt like they had been in ink.
I looked up and saw that the two chimneys, which had been quiet, had also begun to smoke. The black smoke spiraled like a giant dragon into the air, spreading downward.
Wushuang said: "If we hadn't been able to see things at night, it would have been hard to find that these chimneys were emitting black smoke. ”
I nodded: "I heard that some factories turn off the decontamination equipment at night in order to avoid inspection, which can save a lot of money." ”
Wushuang asked me, "What should we do now?" Are you going to destroy this factory? ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head: "Why did we destroy other people's factories in this situation?" A dozen or so security guards beat us up. ”
Wushuang asked, "What then?" You can't just watch them like this. ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "The people who suffer the most from this factory are the villagers here, so let's tell them the news." The strong dragon can't overpower the snake, and if the villagers keep opposing it, the factory will definitely have to stop. ”
Wushuang nodded: "Then let's go back quickly." If I don't leave, I see that the abbot is about to explode. ”
I looked at the swollen and somewhat transparent abbot, nodded, and quickened my pace towards the village.
I looked much better than the abbot, but my own situation was known only to me, and every second I wanted to cough.
Although tuberculosis is not difficult to cure with current medicine, the disease was passed on to me by ghosts, and the medicine in the hospital did not work for me at all. In other words, even if I had a cold, it would kill me.
A few of us hurried to the village.
The thin woman was looking at us at the door of her house, and when she saw us back, she was overjoyed and asked, "How is it?" ”
We nodded: "Find out the reason, but it's still a little troublesome, we have to go in and talk about it." ”
The thin woman let us in, and I saw the man get up too.
A few of us sat down. The thin woman asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Let's go through today's discovery in its entirety.
The thin woman looked at us with wide eyes and asked, "Really?" ”
The abbot pointed to himself: "I'm like this, do you think I lied to you?" ”
The thin woman waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I was just too shocked, I couldn't turn around for a while, and asked casually." ”
The thin woman asked, "How are we going to crack it?" ”
We looked at each other and said categorically, "The factory is out of production." It is the culprit, and only when the factory stops can the resentment of those unjust ghosts be dissolved. ”
Hearing us say this, the originally silent man stood up and said, "Impossible. ”
His reaction was a bit violent, and I looked at him strangely and asked, "Are you the boss?" ”
The man shook his head and said, "Will the boss live in a bungalow?" ”
I asked curiously, "Since you are not the boss, why don't you support the closure of the factory?" ”
The man pointed to the furniture in the room: "Do you think these are blowing in the wind?" He patted the wall of his house: "Do you think this house was given for free?" ”
The man scurried around the house like crazy.
The thin woman sighed and explained to us, "I don't know if you have ever been to Bohai Village. ”
I was stunned: "Bohai Village? ”
The thin woman nodded: "It's about thirty miles away from here, and I'm terribly poor." ”
I suddenly knew what the thin woman was talking about. That turtle-shaped village is actually Bohai Village. I suddenly remembered that sentence again, there are three immortal mountains on the Bohai Sea, and people don't know how many thousands of miles to go......
The thin woman's next words interrupted my train of thought, and she said, "Originally, our village was as poor as Bohai Village. No matter how capable you are, you can't do it, this side of the water and soil does not support people, and there is no way to make money. But then we got rich. ”
I asked, "Because of this factory?" ”
The thin woman nodded: "Originally, the factory was chosen in Bohai Village, but the old village chief there did not agree, and after the factory was built, he led people to tear down the wall." I tossed it back and forth I don't know how many times, and I was beaten and punished. But the government had no choice but to disagree with the village, so it discussed with the boss and built the factory in our village. ”
The thin woman looked at the electric light overhead, as if recalling: "After the factory was built, the people who were originally idle went to work." Gradually, the main income of our village was the wages in the factory. The mud houses were torn down and new houses were built. The radio was replaced by a TV. Hey, who wouldn't want to live this life? Just now you said that you want to stop the factory, and our family doesn't want to live a poor life anymore, so we are a little anxious. ”
I nodded: "So it's because of this." ”
The abbot advised the man: "What are you afraid of if you are poor? When I lived in the temple, I had six steamed buns a day, didn't I survive it? At that time, my figure, tsk, tsk, didn't say. ”
The man suddenly asked, "If you are asked to live with six steamed buns a day now, are you still willing?" ”
The abbot hesitated.
The man smiled smugly: "Look, how is it?" ”
King Jizo said, "If the factory does not stop, those evil spirits will not disperse, and when the time comes, I am afraid it will be very troublesome." ”
The thin woman asked, "Shall we move the grave?" ”
King Jizo shook his head slowly: "Their bones have been poisoned, and it is useless to move graves. Now the only thing left is to shut down the factories and defuse their grievances. ”
The thin woman nodded slowly, then looked at her husband with blank eyes.
The man looked at the yard, deliberately avoiding our gaze, and then he said, "Stop, I don't count." ”
I said, "If you are like Bohai Village, you will definitely agree." ”
