Chapter 274: Heading to Xujia Village
I sat on the couch and stared out the window until dawn.
, I actually pulled for more than two hours.
I admit that I fell asleep when I pooped, but I slept so lightly, how could I have slept for more than two hours?
I couldn't figure out if something was wrong with my consciousness or if time was starting to jump again.
The situation is exactly the same as when Seventh Master and I entered the construction site.
If there was a time jump before, it was a problem with the construction site, and now I am no longer at the construction site, how can this situation still occur?
Just when I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, Assistant He called me and he was waiting for me at the door of the hotel.
I made an appointment with him last night and asked him to pick me up in the morning, after all, we are not familiar with Lin Cheng, and we must have a guide everywhere.
I didn't plan to tell Song Xiaotian and Meng Yifan about this morning, they are probably still sleeping.
Coming out of the hotel, Assistant He was at the door.
I told him to go to the airport first and that I was going to pick up my friend.
On the way, I asked Assistant He, that place in Xujia Village is not far away.
"Xujia Village?"
Assistant He smiled: "It's an ancient village, and it's also a local tourist attraction in our area, it's not far away, if there is no traffic jam, it's just more than an hour to drive over, what's wrong, do you want to go to Xujia Village?" ”
I said I was going to Xujia Village to inquire about Luofu.
Assistant He was a little surprised: "Huh? Go to Xujia Village to inquire? Shouldn't we go to the residents of the village before the construction site and ask about it? ”
I said that the stories in the mouths of those residents are all based on false rumors, and they have been passed down for several generations, and it is estimated that they have made up a little bit of their own blind from generation to generation, and there is no reference at all.
I asked Assistant He if he had inquired about the records on the previous information.
He looked embarrassed: "Yes, I went to inquire, but I recorded it truthfully, and the things on it were indeed said by themselves." ”
I smiled: "What happened a hundred years ago, it must deviate from the truth when it comes to it, it's normal, and when we receive someone later, we will go directly to Xujia Village." ”
When I arrived at the airport, I waited for about half an hour, and I received An Ning.
She was dressed in a black tight casual suit and carried a black backpack, and because of her tall stature, she stood out in the crowd and turned her head quite significantly.
Assistant He's eyes were straight, and after An Ning got in the car, he kept talking and deliberately looking for a topic.
However, An Ning is not good at words, and Assistant He will reply with three or five words.
In addition, her face is cold, Assistant He probably thinks it's no fun, chatting and chatting, he doesn't talk anymore.
I was in the car and told An Ning about the situation we had encountered.
After listening to this, An Ning asked, "Is the seventh master okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little older than before, just rest for two days."
There was a bit of a traffic jam today, and the car drove for two hours to the ancient village of Xujia Village.
I didn't expect to enter this village, and I actually had to buy tickets, and this ticket is not cheap, I have to ask for fifty-one.
Assistant He went to buy tickets and led us into the village.
It's a village, but I think it's almost a town.
It's huge, and some of the ancient buildings that look like they're on a grand scale can't even be what a village should have.
"Don't look at these buildings as magnificent, they were all built in recent years."
Assistant He explained to us: "In order to develop tourism, our local government has invested in building a lot of things and compiled a lot of stories with a long history, in fact, all to attract foreign tourists. ”
"Actually, this is a slightly larger village, and before the investment, it was no different from other villages."
I nodded in understanding.
In the past, Meng Yifan and I have been to many tourist attractions, and almost every city will have a scenic spot called 'Gu Miao Village', in fact, these 'Gu Miao Village' have all been built in recent years, and each 'Gu Miao Village' will definitely sell 'silver'.
It's all a routine in the tourism industry.
Because the village is so big, I didn't know who to ask for because I couldn't tell who was the aboriginal and who was working there.
"In fact, most of the open areas of this village are staff, and the younger generation of aborigines in the village also work here."
Assistant He pointed us in the direction: "That place is where the villagers live, and tourists are not allowed to disturb over there." ”
I followed the direction of Assistant He's finger and saw that the brand-new bungalow area looked like a house that had only been repaired in recent years.
Assistant He said that because the upper authorities want to develop this place into a tourist attraction, it will inevitably affect the lives of the aborigines, so out of compensation, every family's house can be rebuilt or rebuilt, and all the funds will be borne by the superiors.
But the bungalow area is still a bit far away, and it takes about 20 minutes to take a sightseeing bus.
After waiting for most of the day, I finally waited for the car to come.
We got off at the last stop and walked for more than ten minutes before we arrived at the real village entrance of Xujia Village.
There was no staff guarding the entrance of the village, but a sign was erected that read, 'Residential area, outsiders should not enter and disturb them'.
There was an old man sitting there at the entrance of the village, and as soon as we walked over, the old man shouted.
"Young man, you can't go in."
"Inside is where we live, not touristy."
I saw that the old man was smoking a dry cigarette, and hurriedly handed over the package of cigarettes: "Old man, we are not tourists, we want to come here to inquire about two people." ”
As the saying goes, the old man took the cigarette, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Young man, who do you want to ask, I have lived in the village all my life, and there is no one I don't know." ”
I hurriedly said two names: "Xu Xiu and Xu Changming, do you know each other?" ”
After saying that, I added: "These two people may have passed away many years ago, they are close to the last century. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at me a little strangely: "Are you here to offer condolences to Xu Xiangu?" ”
Xu Xiangu?
Condole?
We didn't understand what the old man meant.
"Old man, what are you talking about...... Which one? ”
"Xu Xiu."
The old man said: "The Xu Xiu you asked, isn't it Xu Xiangu, we only have one named Xu Xiu here, not who Xu Xiangu is." ”
My scalp suddenly became a little numb, and I hurriedly asked, "Did you say that Xu Xiangu passed away?" How old is she this year? ”
The old man said: "Gao, I am tall, I am over a hundred years old, this Xu Xiangu is from the same generation as my grandfather, she is our long-lived old man here, and I grew up with her." ”
I touched the top of my head as if I had been struck by lightning.
Xu Xiangu, who is in her hundreds, is the same age as Aunt Jiu, and they are both called Xu Xiu.
Then this Xu Xiangu, isn't it the ninth aunt we want to inquire about!
This nine aunts are too ...... Not only did she not die, she actually ...... He is still alive until now!
