Chapter 186: Go to the Village
"Okay, it's okay to have two thousand yuan, but I don't have that much money now. Two little masters, do you think this is true? You go back to the village with me first. When you arrive in the village, I tell the village chief about this matter that the two thousand yuan will be paid by our village committee." The old man looked at me and Jiang Chao and said.
I nodded and agreed:
"Yes, sir, please wait for me here for a while, and I'll clean it up."
As I said, I quickly walked back to the room, checked my carry-on backpack, and confirmed that all the evil-repelling items and the peach wood sword were there, so I carried the carry-on backpack on my body.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Jiang Chao coming:
"Nineteenth day of the lunar month, let's go together today. You have to give me that handy self-defense weapon. If there is really something dirty in the village, I can help you, brother."
"I'll bring it to you, it's all in my bag." I said and walked to the door of the store. At this time, I happened to see the old man dragging the donkey cart parked in the open space.
So I locked the store door and when I was about to get on the old man's donkey cart and set off, I met Qin Yu riding a bicycle from a distance.
Qin Yu saw Jiang Chao and I sitting on the donkey cart, and quickly stopped the motorcycle.
At this time, Qin Yu must have just gotten off work and had not had time to change his uniform. The old man who was driving a donkey cart in front saw the traffic police coming over. He was so scared that he quickly stopped the donkey cart.
"Chujiu, Jiang Chao, where are you going?" Qin Yu walked over and looked at us and asked.
I said:
"Go to a village to do something, Officer Qin, have you just got off work?"
Qin Yu nodded:
"Yes, I was just about to ride a bike over to find your brothers to drink, chat and relieve my boredom."
"It's really a coincidence, don't go next time." I said.
Qin Yu nodded:
"Okay, please be careful on the road. By the way, old man, you must look at traffic lights when crossing the road. No matter how few cars there are, you can't run red lights?"
The old man nodded repeatedly after hearing this:
"Comrade Police, I know, don't worry, I will definitely not run a red light. Those who know the rules, those who know the rules..."
The donkey cart was on the road again, Jiang Chao sat beside me and said to me:
"Chujiu, who would have thought of it? Even a girl as outstanding and beautiful as Officer Qin will be urged to get married at home."
I said:
"In fact, when fate comes, everything is natural. If fate does not come, it will be useless to urge you anymore. It will only make the relationship between each other become more and more irritating."
At this time, the sunset had passed and the sky gradually became darker. Jiang Chao and I sat on the donkey cart. Seeing Gugu County getting farther and farther away from our sight, I suddenly began to miss the past inexplicably.
I missed my childhood with my grandparents. I really miss them, but now I can't meet them. I have asked Mr. Qin and his master Liu Wendao more than once. Even if I can't meet them, I can make a phone call, right?
But Mr. Qin and my master Liu Wendao completely disagree. What they mean is that before my fate has completely changed, they cannot contact them. They are old and even a phone call may implicate them.
So I have been patient and letting this longing for family affection be buried in my heart, but the more this happens, when the longing comes, it is like a surging tide, uncontrollable.
"Chujiu, what are you thinking about? Your eyes are straight." Jiang Chao asked at me.
"I just miss my grandparents." I said.
Jiang Chaodao:
"Actually, I miss my grandfather too. I have never seen him since we left the village. Sometimes I still dreamed that he didn't want me anymore. I was so scared that I sat up from the bed in the middle of the night..."
At this time, the old man who had been driving the bus in front suddenly turned around and looked at us and asked:
"Two little masters, it seems that what they said before is right."
"What did you say before?" I asked.
"It's just for your business, selling coffins, feng shui, and Taoist priests who drive away ghosts and catch demons have the fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings. They will never meet their families in their lives. I have heard of them before, and it seems that these are true." The old man said while rushing the car.
I said:
"Actually, it's not necessarily the case. Our problem mainly lies with me. If it weren't for me, Jiang Chao wouldn't have to..."
"Chujiu, what are you talking nonsense?" Jiang Chao interrupted me directly and looked at me and said seriously:
"We are brothers, don't say anything like this in the future!"
I looked at Jiang Chao's angry look and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it anymore, we are brothers."
After hearing this, Jiang Chao smiled.
Although Wangjiatun is not far from Gugu County, it is only seven or eight kilometers away at most, due to comprehensive reasons such as transportation and road conditions, we arrived in Wangjiatun more than an hour later.
It was completely dark at this time. The old man took us to Wangjiatun and entered the village. I found that the village was extremely quiet.
It was just past seven o'clock, and there were almost no people in the village, and most of them had turned off the lights.
The old man explained to us:
"Recently, it was because of the hanging incident that there was no one on the road when it was dark and they all hid at home. In the past, there were people on this road all the time, and everyone gathered together to enjoy the cool, chat and play cards, and they didn't go home even if the street lights were turned off."
I sat in the donkey cart and looked at the surroundings carefully and asked:
"Sir, are you going to take us directly to the village committee?"
The old man nodded:
"Yes, now the village chief and the cadres in the village are waiting for me in the village committee. If I don't go back, they will definitely not leave. They will arrive immediately at an intersection."
After arriving at the village committee, Jiang Chao and I jumped off the donkey cart, followed the old man, and walked into the village committee's courtyard.
In the yard, a lamp was on, and four people gathered at the wooden table under the lamp. After seeing the old man bring us in, they quickly got up to greet him.
"Old Zhao, you are back. You said you didn't bring your phone with you when you went out. We thought you... What's wrong with you? You are still not at ease."
The old man smiled and said:
"Village Chief, come and let me introduce you to you. These two are Mr. Qin's apprentices."
I stepped forward and looked at the village chief and said:
"Hello, village chief, my name is Zhang Chujiu, this is my friend Jiang Chao."
The village chief nodded with a smile, looked at Jiang Chao and me for a while, and then quickly called Lao Zhao who was pulling us to the side and kept whispering.
I looked at the village chief and guessed that he might have seen that Jiang Chao and I were not old and doubted our ability to exorcise evil spirits. This is human nature, but he can understand it.
The other three villagers also smiled and came forward to say hello to me and Jiang Chao.
Soon the village chief and Lao Zhao also left. At this time, the village chief looked at us with a smile and asked:
Chapter completed!
