Sitting in the car, Zhou Weimin looked at the time, it was almost half past six, so he first sent a text message to his mother, telling her that he had some things to deal with and that he would not eat dinner at home, and then made a phone call to the strange customer.

Again, the phone was called a few times before it was connected.

"Hey, did you send the wrong address over there? I asked someone in Shiniuchong, and said that Xiayang Village was deserted and no one lived. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone hung up again.

Then it was a text message sent directly.

"The address is right, we are newly moved here, and the people over there don't know, you look at the location of the Yanghe, and then near the middle and lower reaches of the Yanghe River is Xiayang Village."

'Shh', Zhou Weimin took a breath, it seems that he is really going to go to that strange village today, especially to meet this strange customer.

Scratching his head, Zhou Weimin had no choice but to open the navigation software and rummage through it before finding a river called Yanghe, lying on the map in a zigzag manner.

Enlarged the map, he estimated the direction, calculated the size, set a point in the middle and lower reaches of the Yanghe, and then turned on the navigation mode.

Fortunately, the map shows a road in a zigzag way, about ten kilometers away, but the navigation shows that it takes nearly half an hour to arrive, and it seems that the road is not very easy to walk.

It was not early, and Zhou Weimin no longer hesitated, started the car, and drove towards the place mentioned in the text message according to the guidance of the navigation.

This road, but let Zhou Weimin see what it means to be abandoned, a good two-car wide cement road, because of disrepair, there are potholes everywhere, and there are even tree roots arched through the cement pavement, protruding a section, and occasionally you can see that half of the roadbed has collapsed in some places.

Dense forests can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, and from time to time you can faintly see a few bird-like shadows moving in the treetops.

Zhou Weimin cautiously and slowly drove forward, and this half an hour was really not an exaggeration at all. I don't know why these new villagers in Xiayang Village didn't deal with the road first. In this kind of road condition, I'm afraid that even black cars won't come.

drove so fearfully all the way, the sky slowly darkened, and when it was past ten o'clock, Zhou Weimin's stomach was a little hungry, and finally arrived near a deserted village.

Can people live in this kind of place? Zhou Weimin looked at the village in front of him through the windshield, and he really opened his eyes with a knife.

It feels like a dead village lying quietly on the ground, desolate, decadent, and deadly silent. If it is used to shoot a ghost movie in a deserted village, it is really a perfect scene.

Everywhere there are toppled one-story bungalows, some wooden and some red brick, and the collapsed facades are densely crawled with creepers. The occasional wooden pole is covered in a layer of lush vegetation.

The road, which may have been paved with gravel, was mostly covered with weeds, with only a few black gravel slabs occasionally exposed. From a distance, it looks like someone who has dyed green hair, but is a little alopecia.

'If you want to re-inhabit people, it's a big project, right?' Zhou Weimin sighed, in this era, electricity, running water, Internet, and gas are all necessities of life, and I don't know how much it will cost to reactivate such a village.

He continued to drive along the faint road surface, but he was more cautious, who knows if there would be any nails or anything like that, in case the tire was punctured, it would be fun.

Before he drove out for a hundred meters, the mobile phone rang, he picked up the mobile phone stuck in the air conditioner, switched to the mailbox and saw that it was the text message sent by the strange customer.

"I see your car, you're on the right path, drive in, you'll see a two-story house with a red light, just park at the door."

After reading the text message, Zhou Weimin stopped the car first with a foot of the brake.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and he could naturally see what was in front of him clearly.

To be reasonable, in this case, if the customer sees himself, he can just shout directly, and where there is no such bird and insect song, a little sound will be heard very clearly.

How much the phone bill really is, be sure to text it.

The second one, in this kind of almost deserted village, which good family is almost at night, and will turn on a red light? If you really do that kind of business here, what kind of god will you put up? Aren't you afraid of polluting the eyes of the gods and Buddhas? It's better to put a photo of that teacher abroad.

Shaking his head, throwing these strange thoughts out of his mind, he subconsciously lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and then looked at the darker and darker sky, and then the clutch and brakes were loosened, and the truck slowly drove forward again.

It can almost be described as ultra-low speed, after moving for nearly ten minutes, Zhou Weimin saw the two-story house at the end of the road that said in the text message, reflecting red light from several windows.

At the end of the road, Zhou Weimin deeply agreed with this statement. Because the house was really built at the end of the road, and the road came to an abrupt end when it reached the building.

He couldn't help but think of a feng shui book he read in the Shentai store when he was a child, there is a saying that when the road is broken, this kind of road goes straight to the door, which is basically the 'gun brake' described in the book he read in his grandmother's shop when he was a child.

He really couldn't understand that if he could build a shrine at home, how could he not touch this basic feng shui common sense.

Sweeping the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on the tiles, this is what his grandmother told him when he unintentionally turned to this book. Seeing through and not saying that it is broken, and leaving a line in doing things are the basic principles of these related industries.

Sometimes I am too enthusiastic, but I get into trouble for myself, and I can't make mistakes.

Zhou Weimin muttered a few words, then turned on the headlights and drove towards the house.

drove to the front of the house, in order to facilitate unloading, Zhou Weimin reluctantly turned around, and the back of the car stopped at the gate.

After stopping, he got out of the car, walked straight to the rear of the car, opened the car door, climbed up, and carefully observed, the parts of the altar were fine, no bumps and worn, and then he was relieved.

When waiting for the customer to open the door, he sat bored in the carriage, his legs dangling, and Zhou Weimin kept looking at the house curiously.

Looking closely, it is obvious that this house has been newly built for a short time, but the style is obviously a little old, especially the mosaic tiles pasted on the lower part of the exterior wall, and the terrazzo floor on the ground at the entrance, which have a deep sense of age.

Even the ostentatious door, which is three meters high, is a wooden door wrapped in iron and then nailed with floating nails, and the copper handles on both sides look like lion's heads made of brass.

This kind of collocation seems a little absurd, this kind of two-story house is not a villa with a yard, as for using this kind of door, shaking his head, Zhou Weimin looked at his mobile phone, it was almost half past seven, why didn't he come down to receive the goods yet.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Weimin suppressed the irritability in her heart, jumped out of the carriage, walked to the gate, lifted the handle and knocked on the door gently.

The copper was much lighter than he imagined, like a hollow aluminum alloy coated with a layer of copper, knocking on the door, the sound was not crisp, it sounded empty.

After a few knocks, the door finally opened.

The moment the door opened, Zhou Weimin's heart was so shocked that she almost skipped a few beats, afraid that Lin Zhengying would come over, and she would be so frightened that she would shake the bell a few times.

The inside of the door seemed to be on fire, and there was a layer of green smoke floating more than a meter above the ground, plus the wattage of the red bulb that may have been installed was very sufficient, and the green smoke was dyed red.

An old lady stood in the crack of the door and looked out, her height was estimated to be less than one and a half meters, her back was bent, her pale hair was illuminated by red light, covered with a layer of red glow, the skin on her face was wrinkled and flabby, like a stripped goosebump, without any elasticity, and the clothes she wore were also like the traditional double-breasted clothes of decades ago, all black, except for a white collar at the neck.

The old lady opened the door a small crack in the door, then walked out of the red mist sideways along the crack in the door, and finally stood at the door, looking up at Zhou Weimin.

Seeing this strange situation, Zhou Weimin involuntarily took two steps back, and swallowed his saliva vigorously before he spoke: "Old lady, I'm here to deliver the goods, a set of gods." ”

After waiting for a few seconds and not responding, Zhou Weimin only felt that a cold sweat was about to break out on his back, and then he said it again.

The old lady craned her neck, raised a hand, pointed at her mouth, and waved her hand to indicate that she could not speak.

'Dumb? This is really rare,' Zhou Weimin only felt that he frowned more times today than in the past month, and it was also the first time he had met someone who was only dumb but not deaf.

He would finally understand why he didn't talk on the phone, but kept texting with himself. Thinking about this, the strange feeling seemed to fade a little.

He breathed a sigh of relief, just dumb, not weird.

"Old woman, why don't you call some juniors out, I'm going to move alone for a long time, it's getting dark, the road is not easy to walk, I'm going back to eat," Zhou Weimin said sideways, pointing to the open truck compartment.

After a few seconds of silence, the old lady took out a two-year-old flagship mobile phone, and her hands were as thin as shrunken chicken feet and quickly tapped on the phone.

It seems that she wants to type to communicate with herself, Zhou Weimin waited patiently, and when the old lady finished typing, she showed herself how to deal with it.

Who knows, after the old lady operated, she put the mobile phone in her clothes pocket again, and then looked up at Zhou Weimin.

The next second, Zhou Weimin's mobile phone rang.

'What's the situation, really how much is the phone bill?' Texting in person? Thought it was a love affair with PHS in high school? ’

Zhou Weimin exhaled heavily, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the text messages.

It probably means that she is the only one living here now, and the younger generations will not be able to move in the future, so Shentai can only work hard for Zhou Weimin to move, and the old lady said that she can pay more.

'What kind of family, let an old lady live here alone, what if she falls. ’

Zhou Weimin muttered to herself in her heart, but there was no other way at the moment, so she could only nod, and then said: "Old lady, then you leave the door open, and I will unload the goods, but I can't install it, you have to ask someone else to do it." ”
