Ye Xuan and I were only more than ten minutes late, and Yan Xingyu had already taken people away.

Ye Xuan was a little anxious: "Old classmate, let's get in the car and chase them and block them under the mountain."

"No need, let the turtle run for 500 meters first, it can't jump around, so let's get some equipment first." I took Ye Xuan to replenish the equipment, and then slowly drove to Huaping Village.

According to the webpage, Huaping Village should be hidden in the deep mountains. Ye Xuan and I couldn't find the specific location of Huaping Village, but we were able to catch up with the traces left by Yan Xingyu and the others. I followed each other in the mountains for several hours, and finally saw an abandoned village from the top of the mountain.

The more I looked at it, I felt something was wrong in the village.

There is a saying in the Taoist Tao that says, "One look at the dragon waving its head, and the other is following the road. When you see people, you can avoid three points and find the source when you meet water."

The general meaning is that when tracing something in the mountains, you must first look at the direction of the mountain and then see if there are people nearby. Especially when encountering people in barren mountains and ridges, you must pay attention to whether there is anything strange nearby. People who can take root in barren mountains must have their own unique features. Otherwise, the beasts that appear in the mountains alone are enough to make people unable to live in peace. You must be extra careful when meeting strangers in barren mountains. If you are not careful, you may end up with no bones left.

When I saw that village from the top of the mountain, I saw rows of adobe houses built in rows. The layout of the houses was quite well organized, and it looked like a medium-sized camp. The village just stuck the main roads entering and exiting the mountain pass. Ordinary villages usually made way for the avenues, and most of the villages built were military camps. Could it be that Huaping Village was a military camp or a bastion of bandits?

I looked at the nearby hillside in confusion, and there was a bit of evil spirit. According to Feng Shui, building a village at the foot of the mountain is equivalent to blocking the evil spirit from the mountain, which is extremely unfavorable to the villagers. Unless there is something in the village that can eliminate evil spirits, the village should have long been dead.

Regardless of whether this village is Huaping Village or not, there are some tricks.

Ye Xuan whispered: "Old class, there are lights in the village below. Yan Xingyu's calf should have entered the village. Let's go around and make fun of him by the side of the village."

I smiled and said, "What are you doing to them? If they can enter the village, we will follow them. Then see who dies first, let's go."

When I took Ye Xuan to the entrance of the village in a dignified manner, I saw a stone tablet that was one person high from afar, with four square characters engraved on it: "There is a village-like flat".

I couldn't help frowning: Lao Wang told me that he saw the stone tablet engraved with "Huoping Village". Did he see it wrong, or did he only see the word "Huoping"?

I hadn't figured out the stone tablet yet, and my heart skipped a beat again. When I looked down from the mountain just now, I didn't see any trees in the village, but when I entered the village, I saw rows of maple trees planted around the village, especially the red maple tree in the middle of the village, which was like a giant umbrella stained with blood, covering a radius of more than ten meters.

How could such a big maple tree escape my sight?

I subconsciously looked up at the top of the mountain, but there was a layer of misty white mist over Huaping Village, and the top of the mountain was also invisible from the outside of the village.

Before I could figure out why there was a white fog locked in the mountains, I heard Yan Xingyu say, "Secretary Chen, is the sky here bluer than other places?"

I just turned around and Li Yunge, who was standing beside Yan Xingyu, said, "When people are embarrassed, they have to do something to hide their embarrassment, right?"

"That's right! After all, if you come one step later, you have to fall behind step by step. We have to leave some face for people!" Yan Xingyu and Li Yunge sang together, "Secretary Chen, we have a lot of people coming, and the house is almost used. There is still a forage room left there, we will keep it for you! If you don't dislike it, go and live there."

Yan Xingyu said without waiting for me to speak: "By the way, Section Chief Chen, I don't think you don't know what it means to come first and then arrive?"

"What are you doing..." Ye Xuan was about to open his mouth and curse and asked me to stop him: "Since he has kindly left us a house, what else can we choose? Thank you!"

I bowed to Yan Xingyu and the others, and the two of them were stunned. Before the two of them could react, I walked straight into the forage room.

Ye Xuan's face darkened as soon as he pushed the door. I don't know who made a nest with hay in the forage room and threw two bones to the nest. It was obvious that he was calling us both a dog kennel.

"Damn it!" Ye Xuan was so angry that he wanted to go out, but asked me to pull him back: "There is no need to be angry, it may not be necessary who will cry first in a while! You put the guy on, I'll get something."

Ye Xuan quickly set up a simple eavesdropping device in the house, and I also hung a white cloth lantern at the door.

When I was talking to Yan Xingyu, I seemed to have never touched the other party, but in fact, I had already put the eavesdropper on the corner of his clothes without anyone noticing. He would not have thought that I had installed the eavesdropper on him. When he appeared, everything about Huaping Village might have settled.

Ye Xuan adjusted the position of the sound tube a little, and I heard Li Yunge's proud voice coming from the microphone: "It's so satisfying to see Chen Ye being defeated. It's a pity that he didn't do it, otherwise he would make him look good."

Yan Xingyu echoed: "He also said 'thank you' to us! I think he must have been criticized by Ning Laosan, otherwise he would not have been so polite to ease the relationship with us."

"It's too late to ease the relationship!" Li Yunge said disdainfully: "A person like Chen Ye is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he doesn't know the depth. If he didn't come out to disturb the situation at the beginning, Chen Ye would definitely obey and listen to us. If we win this time, we will definitely humiliate Chen Ye and make him feel better. From now on, we will not be so arrogant."

Yan Xingyu said: "Chen Ye's personal ability is still worthy of recognition, but his personality is too arrogant and will sooner or later cause trouble in the game. The eldest brother said that he has to polish his temperament... I think the eldest brother has a little bit of a love for talent."

"Chen Ye is also a talent?" Li Yunge said disdainfully: "Who is he a talent compared to his elder brother? At best, it's a wild way to be able to get some crops."

"No!" Yan Xingyu and his friends suddenly remembered the voice of a third person in the room. I listened carefully and realized that the person was Wang Jie.

Wang Jie said in a deep voice: "You have provoked Chen Ye twice at the entrance of the village and the forage room. With his personality, he will definitely not give up. He can suppress his anger and must have other plans."

Yan Xingyu said disapprovingly: "What if he has other plans? We bring more than ten masters, and they can easily suppress Chen Ye, regardless of the number of people or strength. If he dares to move, we will beat him all over the ground to find teeth. If he doesn't move, we will continue to provoke him and force him to take action. If he can still hold back, we will continue to suppress him so that he can't leave the village. Qule has already taken people up the mountain. As long as we can suppress him for three days, Qule will definitely complete the task. At that time, it will be the time when we humiliate him. Only by pressing him until he can't raise his head can we tame Chen Ye."

Wang Jie was still not relieved: "Chen Ye has secret techniques, so it is not easy to deal with. I think it's better to be cautious."

Li Yunge said contemptuously: "What if he has secret techniques? In the past, are there few so-called secret techniques in the martial arts world cracked in the bureau? I think Chen Ye has nothing worth seeing except for the secret techniques of body refining."

Yan Xingyu also interrogated: "What era is it now? Any mysterious event can be explained by science. There are so many people with high education and high quality who are still afraid of Chen Ye's tricks? Don't worry!"

Wang Jie hesitated: "I still think..."

Li Yunge began to get impatient: "Chu Wang, are you scared by Chen Ye? What if Chen Ye does anything? Can he avoid the camera in the village? They can't see us, we can monitor him at any time, how big can he make?"

Li Yunge said it very rudely, but Wang Jie endured it without any temper.

Wang Jie stopped talking, and Ye Xuan was furious: "I'll go out and see now, how high are their masters?"

"No need, Xuanzi, listen to me, don't have any conflicts with them when you go out. Even if they point at the nose, don't be angry. Just hold it up for a night! Can you do it?" I saw Ye Xuan nodding and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk in the village."

I came out of the forage room and went straight to the maple tree in the center of the village.

When we arrived in Huaping Village, it was not until early autumn. Ye Xuan and I were wearing single clothes, but the maple leaves in the village were red with a strange blood red.

I looked up under the tree for a while before saying, "Xuanzi, bring me a lamp and use gold core white wax."

Before Ye Xuan could take out the lantern in his bag, Li Yunge rushed over and said, "Chen Ye, what are you going to do?"

I looked at Li Yunge coldly: "What am I doing and I still need to report to you? Don't forget what I am."

In terms of position, I am indeed one level higher than Li Yunge, and the other party was choked by me so much that he couldn't speak. Wang Jie walked over and said, "Chen Ye, it's normal for Yunge to ask you what you do. What are you doing? If you have to say the position, then do I have the right to ask you?"

I smiled and said, "What else can I do besides hanging lanterns?"

"Chen Ye is obviously carrying out feudal superstition activities. The Bureau of Investigation has always believed in science and opposed superstition. I suggest that he stop this absurd behavior immediately." Li Yunge was talking to Wang Jie, but his eyes were always looking at me, smiling with provocation.

Wang Jie said: "Chen Ye, I also think your approach is inappropriate. If you do this, it will easily cause adverse effects in the bureau. I think it would be better to forget it?"

Just as I was about to speak, Wang Jie added: "If you have to do this, you can contact Director Ning. With his approval, we will agree to you hang the white light."
