Fuxing County is not far from Sioux City. More than an hour later, the car entered the county seat of Fuxing County.
Since Fuxing County developed relatively late, the county is very small, only five or six kilometers from east to west. They drove across the county in a short time. Under Han Wei's guidance, the two first found a hotel in the county to stay.
Although Fuxing County developed relatively late, due to its rich resources and convenient transportation, it is very close to both southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu. Therefore, many outsiders come here to invest and build factories. Most young people here work in the factories.
When I go to work, the whole county is bustling with activity.
If Chu Ye hadn't known in advance that a missing person case had occurred here, it would be hard for Chu Ye to imagine that such a lively county could have such a horrific incident hidden behind it.
The village Han Wei mentioned before is located at the foot of the mountain where the accident occurred, and is called Liujia Village.
"Chu Ye, are you really sure you want to go there and take a look?"
Han Wei was a little nervous.
Chu Ye smiled and said: "Why, are you afraid?
If you are afraid, you can stay in the hotel and I will go by myself."
"How could I be afraid?"
Han Wei glanced at him and said, "When I was in college a few years ago, I taught in Liujia Village. The old village chief even took me to the mountains. I didn't expect that a few years later, something like this would happen...
"Having said this, Han Wei took out her mobile phone and called the old village chief to say hello in advance.
However, as soon as the call was connected, Han Wei's expression changed, and she could tell she was anxious on the phone.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Ye asked.
"Something happened in the village. It's going to be demolished! The old village chief got into a fight with a group of people from out of town."
Han Wei was extremely anxious and told Chu Ye the news she had just heard.
Liujia Village originally had only one primary school, which was built by villagers who raised funds together. Although the teaching quality is not high and not as good as schools in the county, at least it is convenient for children in the village to go to school.
Han Wei came to this primary school to teach.
Just last month, the county was engaged in demolition. It was said that a joint venture company took a fancy to the location of this elementary school and insisted on demolishing the elementary school and allowing the children in the village to go to school in the county.
This may sound like a good thing at first, but in fact it is not.
Liujiacun is separated from the center of the county by a mountain road several kilometers away. The transportation is very inconvenient. It is simply unrealistic for the children in the village to go to school in the county! Moreover, there has been a missing person case during this period. Who would be willing to let their family go to school at this special moment?
children to take this risk?
Therefore, many villagers did not agree to sign.
They even gathered and camped in front of the school to firmly oppose the demolition.
The old village chief is one of the leaders.
As a result, a few nights ago, a group of local gangsters came and beat up the villagers who refused to give in. Many of them were injured.
For fear of causing trouble, many villagers had to give in, and fewer and fewer villagers stood in front of the school.
Until last night, when it was the old village chief's turn to keep vigil, a car suddenly came and injured the old village chief on patrol.
If it hadn't happened that there was a ditch nearby and the old village chief rolled into it, otherwise he would have been run over to death by this unknown car! "Let's go directly to Liujia Village."
Chu Ye made a decision immediately.
"Um!"
Han Wei nodded, then found a local car that went into the mountains, and went to Liujia Village with Chu Ye.
On the way to Liujiacun, Chu Ye, who was sleeping in the car, suddenly opened his eyes.
"parking!"
The driver was startled, turned to look at Chu Ye, and reluctantly stopped on the side of the road.
“A city person, right?
Isn’t it just a broken mountain? What’s there to see?”
The driver got out of the car, smoked a cigarette by the roadside and said dissatisfiedly.
After Chu Ye got out of the car, he looked towards the mountains in the distance.
In his mind, a virtual image of Fuxi Bagua Formation appeared.
Qian is connected three times, Kun is broken six times, Zhen Yang Yu, Gen covers the bowl, Li is empty in the middle, Kun is full in the middle, Dui is missing in the upper part, Xun is broken in the lower part.
This mountain, Qiankun Genxun, belongs to Muxiang, but most of the trees on the mountain have been cut down, which is a sign of evil spirits! "Why have all the trees on this mountain been cut down?"
Chu Ye said.
"Sell it for money!"
The driver said impatiently, "Why do you care so much? Hurry up and get in the car. It's getting dark soon. It's not peaceful in the mountains when it's dark. Haven't you heard of Tiger King..." Before the driver could finish his words, he suddenly called. A shiver.
I saw Chu Ye looking at him coldly, a murderous aura bursting out from him. The terrifying momentum made the driver breathless, as cold as being thrown into an ice cellar.
Bang! The driver shuddered and said quickly: "This... a company came to this mountain. They said they were interested in this place and wanted to do tourism here. They booked all these mountains... and then they took over the mountains. All the trees have been cut down..." Chu Ye continued to ask coldly: "How long has this company been here?"
"A year...a little more...I heard it's a company from Jinling."
A company from Jinling?
Chu Ye secretly remembered it in his heart.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a bit of gloom in this mountain.
Even though it was daytime, this feeling still made him feel a bit cool behind his back.
It's as if... the whole mountain is a yin formation! "Chu Ye, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Chu Ye had been silent for a long time, Han Wei couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking."
Chu Ye waved his hand, got into the car with Han Wei, and the group continued on their way.
Along the way, Chu Ye heard about many local customs and customs here.
Although Fuxing County has a good location, due to its late development, the county's fiscal revenue is relatively small, so it has been vigorously attracting investment.
The average salary of locals is only 3,000 yuan.
Under this situation, the county had to sell the land and contract it to outside businessmen to allow them to invest in construction, provide jobs, and at the same time promote the development of Fuxing County as a whole.
In the evening, Chu Ye and Han Wei finally arrived at Liujia Village.
Han Wei led the way, and the two of them soon arrived outside a bungalow in the center of the village.
"Dahai, you have to take good care of yourself. If something happens to you, the children in our village will no longer be able to go to school."
In the room, an old man in his seventies or eighties said to a middle-aged man in his fifties.
"Third uncle, since I am the head of Liujia Village, I will shed my last drop of blood for Liujia Village! They want to demolish our school and let the children go to school in the county. I will definitely not agree!"
The speaker was none other than Liu Dahai. He patted his knees and said angrily, "These people at the top are really confused. There is not even a decent road from the village to the county. How can the children go to school in the county?"
It takes several hours to go back and forth! I will definitely report it to the superiors."
"Dahai, don't be too hard on yourself, you've done a good job."
The old man shook his head and said.
Liu Dahai glanced at the frail old man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, feeling angry in his heart.
Back then, it was my third uncle who took the lead in taking out his family's savings and collecting money from door to door, so that he could build the first primary school in the village.
Thanks to the coffin book that the third uncle took out, the children in the village had the opportunity to go to school. Otherwise, the children in the mountains had no chance to receive education, and they might not have the chance to leave the mountains in their entire lives.
However, the third uncle is still a member of the family of martyrs. His two sons died on the border back then. The subsidies back then were not much. After the third uncle donated the coffin, he could only guard a dilapidated mud house and rely on it.
Living on a meager subsidy from the martyrs’ families.
During the school demolition conflict, it was my third uncle who also took the lead in keeping vigil. As a result, he injured a leg on the first night and was beaten unconscious by several masked gangsters. Now it is difficult to even walk! "Hai Dahai,
I heard that you were hit by a car last night. I can see that some people are just crazy about money. They don’t care how the children in the village go to school, let alone the life and death of us people! If it doesn’t work, forget it...
"The third uncle took a puff of dry cigarette and gritted his teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, then I, an old man, will fight with them!"
Seeing Liu Dahai, the village chief, having an accident like him, the third uncle felt very sad.
He was already in his 70s and 80s, and he had lived a long enough life. At worst, he would have to fight with those gangsters, and he didn't want to drag Liu Dahai into trouble with him.
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded outside the door: "Village Chief, are you at home?
