The altitude of Daocheng is very high, and it is autumn now, so the temperature is very low.
After I got off the plane, I saw someone holding a sign outside with the words He Yonghengheng written on it.
It was a strong man with a full beard, wearing a military coat, and a stout figure, like a big bear.
I sighed, walked over quickly and said, "Hello, I am He Yongheng."
The man put down the sign, looked me up and down seriously, and said, "With such thin arms and legs, how could Zhang San let you come?"
"Little guy, it's no joke on the plateau. If you move a little too hard, you'll be out of breath."
"No, I have to talk to Zhang San and let you go home as soon as possible so that you don't get in the way."
I was stunned. The boss asked me to come here. Didn’t he mean that I would be close enough to take care of him?
Why is it still in the way?
I was a little embarrassed, but the big bear-like strong man said: "My name is Tieta, and Zhang San asked me to pick you up."
He then looked at Xu Zhenzi and others who came out with me, frowned and said, "Why is this evil star even here?"
"wait for me a while."
Xu Zhenshi and others had already changed into thick clothes, but I looked stupid in the cold wind wearing a thin coat.
Tie Ta obviously knew Xu Zhenshi. He walked over quickly without knowing what they were talking about.
Anyway, when I looked at it from a distance, the tower seemed very excited and was still dancing.
After a while, he walked back quickly shaking his heavy military coat, and said angrily: "I have long heard that Xu Zhenshi is domineering, and now it seems that he is indeed so!"
"Grandma, let him follow him if he likes. When something happens, all the responsibility will be placed on the Secret Bureau!"
"He Yongheng, get in the car!"
I hurriedly followed him into a modified pickup truck and asked casually: "Where are we going?"
Tie Ta said impatiently: "Dead man's fortress!"
When I heard the name, I immediately clicked.
How could anyone call their village this?
I saw the displeasure on the tower's face, so I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Instead, I called the boss.
This time the call was connected, but the boss's voice was as tired as ever.
He said: "Lao He, are you here? Have you seen the Iron Tower?"
I said: "Yes, he will take me to see you now."
Tie Ta snorted and said, "The little guy is quite vigilant. He made this call because he didn't trust me, right?"
"Zhang San, I've received the call. We'll be at the Dead Man's Village in two hours!"
Zhang Sanfen on the other end of the phone clearly heard the sound of the tower and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll be on duty for you for three hours when you get back. That's it."
He said to me again: "Old He, follow the Iron Tower. Even though he looks ferocious, he is very steady and reliable!"
Not many people can say that Zhang Sanfen is reliable. Anyway, I have known him for so long, and there are really not many people who can be taken seriously by him.
Even if there are, they are from the Secret Bureau.
I said: "Boss, Xu Zhen's corpse leader is still following behind."
Zhang Sanfen said: "Just follow me. There are also people from the Secret Bureau in Dead Man's Village. With Xu Zhenshi's level, he can easily know what's going on here."
"Okay, I still have things to do here, just follow the tower."
I hung up the phone, but my heart felt like a big stone had fallen to the ground.
Along the way, it was Song Shi and Xu Zhenshi again, which already made me nervous.
Some come for the Hengzhi, and some come for the Corpse Immortal.
Suddenly a man as tall as an iron tower appeared. There was no reason for me not to be suspicious.
It wasn't until I got confirmation from my boss that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The tower was driving very hard, almost like driving a tank, ramming down the road.
He probably couldn't stand my small stature, so he looked down upon me and didn't even bother to talk to me.
I didn't pay attention, but started to appreciate the scenery outside.
Daocheng belongs to the plateau area, the county town is very small, and the facilities are not as complete as those in the mainland. Some materials have to be transported in by trucks.
But one thing to say is that the scenery here is really wonderful. The white clouds in the sky are ever-changing, and the places without clouds are as blue as a patch of indigo.
Where there are clouds, various white, gray, and even black embellishments are outlined.
Especially the sunset that is about to set makes me even more mesmerized.
I have never seen such golden sunshine reflecting the beautiful sunset.
Before I knew it, the sun had set, and the sky was getting darker.
The tower turned on the lights, but still did not slow down and ran forward along the road.
After a while, he turned onto an unpaved road. The bumpy road was so bumpy that I was no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery.
What's more, it's nighttime and there's nothing to see.
Fortunately, the road is not long, and it only took more than half an hour to reach the destination.
This is a village hidden in the mountains. Perhaps because it is too remote, the houses here maintain the architectural style of decades ago.
Stone house with wooden windows and doors.
The most important thing is that there seems to be no electricity here, because I heard the sound of diesel generators and several searchlights surrounding the entrance of the village.
It's just that the light is for the outside, not the inside, as if to guard against something.
Is this the Dead Man’s Village?
While I was thinking about it, the tower had already driven into the village.
He shouted loudly: "Who did the shopping? Come and move it yourself!"
Soon, more than a dozen strange-looking people appeared in the stone houses of the village.
To say they are weird is no exaggeration.
Some were wearing weird clothes that looked like strips of cloth. If you look carefully, you will see that there are faintly flickering spells on each strip of cloth.
Some people have their faces painted with weird and sinuous runes. Of course, they may also be tattooed on them.
I even saw two people walking sideways back to back. When I looked carefully, I realized that they were actually wearing the same top. It was as if their bodies were connected under the clothes.
Maybe it was strange, so I couldn't help but take a second look.
But one of them suddenly turned his head and said coldly: "If you look at me one more time, I will dig out your eyes!"
I turned my head quickly and wondered who these people were.
Tie Ta said happily: "Boy, everyone lives here. Don't cause trouble, and don't stare at others, it's very rude!"
"If you really make others angry, you are causing trouble for your boss. Although that guy Zhang San is never afraid of trouble!"
After he finished speaking, he slapped him and said, "Damn you! Did you pay for this box of Niulanshan Erguotou?"
As soon as he slapped him down, he immediately collapsed on the ground and rolled his eyes.
I almost died. I thought the tower was careless and slapped the person to pieces!
But as soon as this idea came up, the man was like a snake, his body was twisting on the ground, and he ran away dragging the wine box that fell on the ground.
While running, he scolded: "Iron Tower! I have no money now! I owe it now! Can't I give you double the amount in the future?" This chapter has been completed!
