Pei Anzhu and Shen Yueran didn't mind the poor accommodation environment. After all, they had been to mountains with worse conditions several times before.
Even though Shen Yueran, a rich young lady, followed Pei Anzhu all over the country, she never cried out in pain.
Everyone stayed in a hotel in Baocheng County.
Early the next morning, around five or six o'clock, everyone got up and gathered. After breakfast, they headed towards Shuitianba Town and Shuize Village.
Before leaving, Officer Du told his men:
“I will lead two people and follow Master Pei and the others to take the lead. We will first find out what is going on in the village. The rest of you will follow behind and be ready to support at any time.”
After making the decision, everyone set off.
From the county to Shuize Village, we still have to walk nearly three hours on a mountain road. When we reach our destination, it is already past nine in the morning.
Pei Anzhu contacted [Ming Yue Qingfeng] in advance, and he was waiting at the entrance of the village.
When he saw the car approaching, he walked over to greet it with a pair of panda eyes and stared blankly:
“Is it Qingzhu Immortal Lord? You are finally here.”
"You haven't slept all night again, have you?" Shen Yueran couldn't help but be surprised when she saw his state, "I saw your video had stopped updating!"
"Another person died last night." [Mingyue Tiaoqingfeng] said, his voice was weak, and it was obvious that he had been overdrawn.
Pei Anzhu glanced at him, and then handed him a note:
"This talisman can be used to insulate sound. You put it under your pillow. Now you go to sleep. We will talk when you wake up. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you will die suddenly."
It is very torture for a person to be unable to sleep for a long time, and it is also very damaging to the spirit.
Even though he has turned into a living corpse, if he continues like this, he may not be able to endure it before the corpse energy in his body breaks out.
Seeing this talisman, [Mingyue Tiaoqingfeng]'s eyes burst out with bright light, and he quickly took it and thanked him repeatedly:
"Great! Qingzhu Immortal Lord, you are my reborn parents! My lifesaver!"
"I really need it so much. Thank you Qingzhu Immortal for your understanding. I will go to bed now and won't accompany you to the village."
“But don’t worry, the people in our village are very friendly. As long as you say you are my friend, they will treat you warmly. By the way, my name is Liu Chao.”
People in the village may not know who [Ming Yue Tiao Qing Feng] is, but when they mention Liu Chao, the custodian knows that it is him.
"Okay, go to bed quickly." Pei Anzhu nodded.
Liu Chao turned around and walked away with cheerful steps. Pei Anzhu looked at him without knowing anything and sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yueran was confused, "Why are you sighing?"
"This is probably the last peaceful sleep he can get," Pei Anzhu said. "When he knows that he has become a living corpse, he may not be able to sleep."
other people:…
It is true that any normal person’s mentality will undergo earth-shaking changes after he realizes that he is no longer a human being.
It was also Pei Anzhu who had a compassionate heart and was able to give Liu Chao a peaceful sleep before revealing the truth.
“Shall we go to the village for a walk now?” Officer Du asked.
Pei Anzhu nodded in agreement, and then the group walked towards Shuize Village - the funeral atmosphere in the village was very strong.
Because this place is remote, the cremation policy has not yet been implemented. Burial is still popular in the village. Due to custom, coffins are always placed at the gate.
So, as Pei Anzhu and the others walked over, they could see coffins everywhere, surrounded by candles, incense and various sacrifices.
There are also white paper money flying in the sky, and white soul flags fluttering in the wind.
There is a funeral band playing the suona and beating the gong, and from time to time they recite eulogies. This is to let the deceased have a good journey on the road to Huangquan.
There were also a few houses where foreign guests were attending funerals, so they set off firecrackers in the open space outside. The crackling sound was accompanied by the sound of the suona of the funeral band.
The houses in the village are not soundproofed. With such noise, it’s no wonder Liu Chao couldn’t sleep well.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing black clothes with white flowers on his sleeves walked towards them and asked:
"Are you here for the funeral? Which family's guests? I'll take you there."
“I don’t know what’s going on in the village recently. A lot of people have died, and the situation is a bit chaotic. I’m afraid you can’t find a place.”
After saying this, the middle-aged man showed an apologetic expression.
Pei Anzhu noticed that this person was sincere and honest, so he replied:
“We are not here for the funeral, we are Liu Chao’s friends. He used to update videos on DouKu every day, but recently he stopped updating for a long time. Let’s see how he is doing.”
After hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man’s face became real:
“So he’s Chao’er’s friend. I’m sorry, Chao’er hasn’t been able to sleep well recently. I’m afraid I don’t have the energy to entertain you. If you need anything, you can come to me.”
“By the way, my name is Liu Wei, I am Chaoer’s distant cousin and the village chief here.”
Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man Liu Wei, he seemed to have a special respect and love for Liu Chao. Even "friends" like Pei Anzhu and others also took advantage of it.
It seems that Liu Chao has a different status in this village.
"Mr. Liu, we want to take a look in the village. Is it inconvenient?" Officer Du asked, "I heard Liu Chao said that he has his own planting and breeding base in the village. We haven't seen it yet. We want to go." Take a look."
"Okay, no problem." Liu Wei said, "Well, let me hand over the matters at hand to my son, and I will accompany you personally. After all, no one is more familiar with the village than me."
After saying this, he waved to a young man not far away, who was about in his early twenties.
Liu Wei asked the young man to guard the road near the village entrance. When he saw someone coming to the funeral, he would lead them there.
After the explanation, Liu Weicai led Pei Anzhu and the others inside.
As he walked, Liu Wei sighed:
“Our village used to be very poor, but thanks to Chao’er, we have been able to generate income, which has enabled other villagers to have more income every year and earn some money to support their families.”
“By the way, it’s the video you mentioned earlier. Chao’er is very good at shooting videos. Hundreds of thousands of people have watched them. The ingredients he uses for cooking are all grown and raised by our village.”
“His fans always come to him to buy ingredients. As soon as he adds up, he cooperates with our village. We plant and breed together and provide him with ingredients, and he helps us sell the goods online.”
"Anyway, we are all poor people, working in the fields to make a living. We farm all year round. Who can we sell to? In the past, we had to transport it to Baocheng County ourselves and sell it in the vegetable market. We could only sell it wholesale. Price, a few cents per pound.”
“Now, he has cooperated with express delivery, and after deducting the cost, we have made more money than before. These are all the benefits that Chaoer has brought to us..."
