Chapter Seventy-Eight: Too Tender
At the end of the village road is a small village called Shuangxi Village, which is not as prosperous as the city and county, but it is still a normal rural village.
Cement roads have been built in the village, basically every household has a car, and there are many large fruit trucks parked at the entrance of the village.
The local staff who arrived early had already arranged the motorbike to enter the mountain, and according to the plan, a few people would have lunch here, and after a short recuperation, they would set off before 4 o'clock to enter the Kazegara Mountain, and arrive at Chaochuan Village before dark.
There are still nearly 30 kilometers of the remaining mountain road, which is expected to take at least two hours, plus the last section of the road that can only be walked, it is estimated that it will take about seven or eight o'clock to get there.
And there will be no supplies along the way.
Therefore, at noon, Ji Shang was very full.
Should I say it or not, although the dishes fried in the rural spoon cannot be said to be better than the dishes in the restaurant, it does have a special flavor.
Of course, this may be because Ji Shang himself grew up in the countryside.
"Come, try this sour fried large intestine, I don't know if you like to eat it, it happened to be on the stall, so I fried it."
The man who came to deliver the vegetables was the owner of the meat shop in the village, and he stood aside a little nervously, for fear that these big leaders from the city would not eat well.
"It's not bad, but this dish is too rich, is there enough money for you?"
He Shuo put down his chopsticks and asked.
"That's definitely enough, we won't come to pay for hospitality this year, that is, we have pigs here, and the price of meat is slightly lower."
"Did you kill this pig?"
Ji Shang interjected curiously.
"No, now they are all sent to the slaughterhouse, private individuals are not allowed to kill and sell, quarantine ---- rest assured, this pork is absolutely fresh, we eat it ourselves!"
Seeing that he assured him with a serious face, Ji Shang hurriedly waved his hand and said:
I didn't mean that, so I asked casually. By the way, what about inside the mountain? How to solve the problem that they usually eat meat and vegetables? ”
"Basically, I kill myself and eat it, and occasionally I come out to buy groceries. However, it is very troublesome for them to come out once, and they do not come much. ”
"I remember the last time I saw people from Asagawa coming to buy vegetables from my place was in July or August, right? That guy, laundry detergent, dish soap, children's snacks and so on, bought a whole sack, but didn't buy much meat, just bought a few catties of ribs. ”
A look of memory flashed on the boss's face, and Chen Wuxu, who was listening on the side, seemed to have discovered something, but did not say it.
On the contrary, it was Ji Shang, after listening to the boss's words, he subconsciously asked:
"You come and go every day, do you remember it so clearly?"
"That's for sure, the people of Chaochuan are very weird, and they still wear Yao clothes every day, and he still has Chinese medicine to sell in his hand, but unfortunately I don't know how to look at it, so I didn't dare to buy it."
"Later, the second uncle in the village picked it up, saying that there were several long-aged notoginseng plants in it, which could be sold for a lot of money."
Ji Shang nodded, and secretly thought in his heart that the way of life in this Chaochuan Village was really simple, and it could even be said to be primitive.
What is the difference between selling Chinese medicine and buying industrial products and bartering?
"So you don't have a lot of contact with them? I see that there are fruit trees in the neighborhood, why don't they plant them? ”
"There are also persimmons, they also grow persimmons, but the scale is not large---- mainly because they can't be transported. That thing has to be picked up from the mountain one by one, and who can stand this. ”
"In addition, there is a shortage of labor in the countryside now, and when you pick it down from the mountains, the rest will be ripe."
"But there are also people who go to them to receive fruit, and they specialize in harvesting fine fruits, the kind that are more than four and a half catties. That's what the little brother who brought you in this time did. ”
Hearing this, Ji Shang turned his head to look at a young man who was also sitting in the hall eating, who raised his hand and smiled shyly.
"I don't go much, mainly because the road is difficult to walk, and I can't make sense of speech."
"Can't make sense? They don't speak the local dialect? ”
The local dialect in Guicheng is similar to Sichuan, and theoretically it is not difficult to understand.
"Say, weird accent! You said it was a local dialect, and there was a bit of vernacular, you said it was vernacular, there were some strong words in it, and there were words that I didn't understand, anyway, it was a mess, and I don't know how they came down. ”
It's a bit of a hassle......
In fact, the language barrier is not limited to people not understanding each other, even if it is a state that is not understood, it will have a serious impact on the efficiency of communication.
Usually it's okay, everyone is calm, if something really goes wrong, at the critical moment to come to a few words that you don't understand, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction.
However, what age is this, and villages that don't speak Mandarin and don't even have a fully integrated local dialect are really closed enough......
Chen Wuxu on the side also looked serious, she got up and walked to the other table of officials in charge of security work, and said:
"Team Li, the situation in Chaochuan Village is a bit complicated, are you prepared here?"
The middle-aged man named Li Rui put down the bowl, stood up and replied:
"Don't worry, we know the situation in Chaochuan Village, and our colleagues over there have already found out."
"It's a bit complicated, but overall it's manageable."
"We also have a WJ squadron with us this time, you don't have to worry about safety, we will be responsible."
"No, I'm mainly worried about communication problems---- if they don't have a strong willingness to communicate, how can we solve it?"
"Not a strong willingness to communicate?"
Li Rui asked suspiciously.
He didn't understand why Chen Wushu would ask such a question.
More than a dozen people have died, and they are still not willing to communicate?
Even if you want to press it down, it is impossible to suppress it if something so big happens, and pouring beans from the bamboo tube quickly explains that the situation is the normal way to deal with it, right?
Moreover, judging from the feedback from colleagues over there, the cooperation of the people in the village is still quite high, and there are no difficulties encountered in the inquiry process for the time being.
"I'm afraid they're going to hide something."
Chen Wushu said bluntly.
After pondering for a moment, Li Rui replied:
"The possibility you mentioned does exist, but we definitely don't rely only on confessions and witnesses in criminal investigation, but mainly to complete the chain of evidence."
"When we get there, we'll do a village-wide carpet survey, modern detection methods are different from before, and if there is a problem, they are unlikely to be able to hide."
"It's a big case this time...... But to be honest, I know what you do. ”
"I just want to get you a preventive shot in advance, in this kind of case, the role we can play is still quite limited, and it is mainly up to you to ...... yourself."
"I understand, as long as you do your job."
After that, Chen Wushu thanked Li Rui and returned to Ji Shang's table, looking at Ji Shang who was still cooking, she didn't say anything, just took someone out to pack up the equipment and prepare to go.
Ji Shang looked at the backs of them leaving, and thought to himself:
These people look more tender than me, it's a joke to enter the mountain, in case there is nothing to eat in it, you can catch it blind.......
He didn't know why he had this idea, but he had a vague intuition that told him that it was best not to eat the things in Asagawa Village......
