I hailed a taxi on the side of the road and took a taxi directly to the door of the police station. Captain Zhang was already waiting for me at the door and saw me get out of the taxi.

He greeted me immediately and paid for the taxi for me.

Captain Zhang didn't say anything to me. After asking a few questions to make sure that I had brought everything, he waved to a police officer who had been standing at the door of the police station.

The police officer ran over, and Captain Zhang nodded at him.

The police officer ran away, and within a few minutes a black Audi drove out of the parking lot behind the police station.

The young police officer sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window and said to Captain Zhang: "Captain Zhang, you can leave at any time."

"Okay, let's go now." Captain Zhang nodded towards me.

Then we both walked towards the Audi together.

Originally, I thought that a leader as big as Captain Zhang should at least own a BMW or something like that. Why did he drive a small shabby car like an Audi?

My wife owns several BMWs and extended-length Lincolns of different colors.

Complaints are complaints, we set off anyway.

The Zhaojia Village where Zhao Qun retired to is not very far from Sanmen City, but it is not close either.

It took us nearly six hours of driving, including a long stretch of dirt road, before we arrived at the entrance of Zhaojia Village.

There are not many people in the village, but the roads extend in all directions. Every road in the village can lead to another village.

As we walked in the village, the old people sitting in front of their houses and chatting together all looked at us inquiringly.

Captain Zhang was also open-minded. He walked directly to the old men and asked them something. After just a few words, the old men all smiled happily and raised their arms one after another, pointing in one direction.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Captain Zhang coming back, I quickly went up to him and asked.

Captain Zhang chuckled and said, "Because I haven't been here before, I went to ask for the direction of Zhao Qun's house."

After receiving guidance from a group of old men, we headed in the direction of Zhao Qun's house.

In order not to attract attention this time, the only people who came were Team Zhang, the young police officer, and me, the three of us.

"It's already past three in the afternoon. Zhao Qun should have gone to work in the fields, right?" I said. The farmers in my impression should be like this. They go out early and come back late. They immerse themselves in their own fields every day and are careful.

Take care of crops and so on.

However, Zhao Qun is not an ordinary farmer. Captain Zhang smiled and said: "Xiaomu, that old guy Zhao Qun is not a farmer. I'm afraid he is still taking a nap at home."

.The old guy has been a bachelor all his life. He doesn’t have to work in the fields so hard. He just supports himself.

And didn’t I tell you beforehand, that old guy Zhao Qun is now working as a corpse remover, helping others to remove corpses."

I smiled and said: "Captain Zhang, look what you said, there are no corpses for him to drive away now. I'm afraid Mr. Zhao just runs around casually and is bored at home."

Captain Zhang shook his head and said: "If you think so, you are absolutely wrong. Although it is now clearly stipulated that you cannot move other people's bodies arbitrarily, there are still many superstitious people in rural areas like this.

And the task of the corpse exorcist is not just as simple as expelling the corpse.

Rural people believe that at the moment of death, the soul in the body will leave the body and go out to play, but the return date has not yet been determined. Therefore, in order to let their deceased family members rest in peace, they will invite a cadaver to come over and let him drive away the cold corpse.

Take the corpse and walk around the village or farther away, and let the exorcist bring the soul of the deceased back into the corpse."

"Isn't that what the seven dead heads say?" I said.

Captain Zhang smiled lightly and shook his head: "Yes, Tou Qi, but the relatives of the deceased were afraid that when the soul of the deceased wanted to come back, they would not be able to find a way back, so they started to hire corpse exorcists."

It’s unnecessary.”

It's really boring.

I complained silently in my heart.

We walked for a while along the route pointed by the elders, and after asking a few villagers on the way, we determined the specific location of Zhao Qun's house.

"It should be right here," Captain Zhang said with certainty as he looked at the spider web on the wooden door with the two door gods attached to it.

I also wanted to ask him how he was so sure, so I heard him continue: "This old guy Zhao Qun is good at everything, but when he is busy with things, he is too lazy to take care of it. Look at the spider web on his door, he is so

It must be a busy two days.”

"Really?" I said doubtfully and pushed open the wooden door.

When the wooden door was opened, there was a particularly harsh squeaking sound. It was obvious at first glance that the wooden door had been used for a long time and was likely to be scrapped and fall down at any time.

When I opened the door, Captain Zhang had to go in even if he didn't want to.

After entering the yard, Captain Zhang started shouting at the top of his lungs: "Old guy Zhao, I'm here to see you. Where are you?"

When he shouted like this, I couldn't laugh or cry.

Captain Zhang is causing trouble by shouting like this. On the way here, that person kept emphasizing that he would never meet Zhao Qun, and he would never let Zhao Qun know that he was protecting him.

Looking back now, it's really a hehe.

Captain Zhang, were all your words taken as farts?

No matter how you look at it now, it looks like you are here to visit.

"Who is it? It's disturbing me." A low and hoarse voice came from a room on the far right side of the yard.

The moment he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the house.

Captain Zhang ran up as soon as he saw it, and grabbed Zhao Qun's hand with great joy: "Old guy, I'm here to see you."

Although Zhao Qun's body is still very strong, at least he is not hunched over like an ordinary old man.

But there was something wrong with his eyesight. He looked at Captain Zhang intently for a while. It wasn't until he took out his reading glasses from his pocket and put them on that he realized it was Captain Zhang who came to see him.

"Hey, why are you here?" Zhao Qun patted Captain Zhang on the shoulder and said happily.

With that said, the two of them walked into the house, seemingly reminiscing about old times.

"Shall we go in too?" The young police officer and I stood in the yard, not knowing where to go.

I shook my head: "It's better to say goodbye. They are old friends. Let's go and join in the fun. I want to go around the village. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, I walked out with my backpack on my back and started wandering around in this small village.

After wandering around for a while, I believed what Captain Zhang said. This village is really connected in all directions.
