The fat man smiled again, "Okay, then everyone come with me. By the way, my name is Yuan Dashan, you can just call me Uncle Dashan."
With that said, he asked Chi Zao and others to quickly get in the car and follow his car.
Long Er glanced at Chi Zao and asked in a low voice: "Are you going?"
"Um."
Chi Zao responded calmly, "Look at the situation. This Yuan Dashan is very familiar with Changxing Town and should have clues to provide."
"OK."
Long Er quickly got in the car again and started driving.
Hua Shixin returned to the car of Lao Yu's bodyguards, whose car was in front.
The car of Long Er and others followed.
At this time, the person sitting in the passenger seat of Long Er became Di Dong.
Di Xia and Chi Zao were sitting in the back.
Speaking of Di Dong, Long Er felt that this young man and Di Xia were like two extremes.
He must be a pretty handsome young man, but he hasn't said a word since they met until now.
The temperament is quite cold!
The car continued to drive in.
The sky is getting dark.
Only then did everyone realize that the place where they had just stopped was actually just one of the villages in Changxing Town.
The real center of Changxing Town has to be walked further in.
When the navigation screen showed that they were about to cross the domestic border, they saw the true face of Mount Lu in Changxing Town——
It was much more lively than they imagined.
People walking up and down the street, men and women wearing local clothes.
When they see vehicles passing by, they can't help but turn their eyes towards it.
Long Er didn't open the window, but he could see the probing gaze towards outsiders in these people's eyes.
Seems to be curiosity.
But curiosity was mixed with other things.
All in all, it makes people feel uncomfortable.
Chi Zao looked out the window quietly, seeing the relatively dim street lights.
There are not many people in the center of Changxing Town.
The size of the town is not much different from an ordinary rural town with a population of only a few thousand.
Among the people coming and going, there were still mostly women, old people and half-year-old children.
There are relatively few young adults.
The shops and houses on the street also have a sense of age.
Some buildings are also in disrepair.
As soon as you enter, you can feel that this place has a sense of isolation from the outside.
At the same time, one can also feel a complex emotion from the eyes of these people.
A feeling that is difficult to express in words.
Chi Zao heard Di Xia, who was sitting next to her, chewing a lollipop loudly, and then heard her say slowly: "Most of the young adults in Changxing Town have crossed the border and gone to Country X."
"I've seen the map of Changxing Town before. It's really close to Country
While driving, Long Er looked in the rearview mirror and picked up what Di Xia was saying.
Di Xia: "That's right. But that was a few years ago. It was just a hilltop that had been leveled long ago. Now that I think of Country X, drive all the way to the end and see a barbed wire fence. Just climb over it."
"It's really close."
Long Er frowned slightly, didn't answer any more, and continued to drive and follow the front.
The main reason is that starting from this road, it became bumpy again.
In addition, there are no street lights at all, so it is easy to fall into a ditch without paying attention.
He could only drive seriously first.
After walking for about half an hour, the group of people's car followed Yuan Dashan's car and wandered to a building.
It's a three-story bungalow.
There is also a sign with the name "Boss" on the top of the head, which says Changxing Town ZF Office
It's so simple that it's a bit surprising.
Hua Shixin got off the car and asked Yuan Dashan, "Uncle, do you work here?"
"Ah, yes, yes! Yes. This is our ZF office, on the third floor, with several empty rooms above. You can stay here tonight. Let me tell you, living here is better than living here in the town.
It is much safer to stay in those hotels, so everyone can sleep peacefully."
Yuan Dashan is also very enthusiastic.
But that doesn't change the fact that this place is indeed too crude and doesn't look like a ZF department.
Hua Shixin felt that this was a bit subversive. He glanced at Chi Zao and others sheepishly, "Sorry, I thought..."
Chi Zao glanced at Long Er and said, "Go up and check the condition of the guest room."
Long Er nodded, and Di Dong, Lao Yu and a few other bodyguards were also there.
However, they also left two people down to observe the surroundings.
After all, it was a strange place. Even if Hua Shixin said that this was his uncle's territory, they did not relax their vigilance.ωωw..net
Di Xia also excused herself as she needed to use the restroom and moved out.
Chi Zao, Hua Shixin and one of the bodyguards were invited inside by Yuan Dashan to drink tea.
Yuan Dashan chuckled: "Look, we have no choice here, and this is the best condition. Changxing Town is originally in a place where birds don't shit. Even this electricity is not always available.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light above his head began to flash, then flashed several times, and then went out with a snap.
Hua Shixin: "..."
It was even more unbelievably simple than the homes of the rural villagers he went to in County Z.
This is the government department of Changxing Town.
"Look, if you say it's going to stop, it's going to stop. We're going to have a power outage here at nine o'clock in the evening!"
As Yuan Dashan spoke, he took out the oil lamp and candles from under the table and lit them.
Light returned to the room.
Chi Zao looked at everything around him calmly.
This is an office space dedicated to entertaining people.
Whether it is the walls, desks, chairs, or file cabinets, they are all very old.
Only the mahogany coffee table and bench in front of me are the most valuable things in the house.
No, that's not right.
Chi Zao's eyes fell on the rusty iron pipe that Yuan Dashan had just taken out. He grabbed a handful of tea leaves from it and put it into the tea cup to brew. After a while, the faint fragrance of tea spread out.
This taste is not ordinary tea.
It is the finest Longjing tea - Longjing Yuqian.
One kilogram can be sold for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
Yuan Dashan held the tea jar and sighed to Hua Shixin: "Except for you, not many of us will come. Look, this is the Longjing tea your mother sent me four or five years ago. I still don't know it."
I didn’t finish the drink because no one drank with me at all!”
Hua Shixin was surprised, "Uncle, what about your colleagues here?"
Yuan Dashan sighed, "How many colleagues are there? In our place, you know, there are not many outsiders. Except for me, they are basically all aborigines. There are about fourteen or five people in total."
.”
"Then why haven't I seen anyone yet?" Hua Shixin was even more confused.
Yuan Dashan said: "Don't look at what time it is now. They have all gone home from get off work! They are all locals. Except for your uncle and me, we all have families and children. They all go back at four or five in the afternoon. Gone home."
"It's too early."
Many people in Hua Shixin's family work in the government, including himself who likes to travel to the countryside and has seen a lot of countryside, but most of the countryside has been transformed into new rural areas.
Even in poor counties like Z County, the places you can see are more like new rural areas than the current Changxing Town.
