Chapter 264 Short-lived Village (Please vote and subscribe~)
"Hey, Team Leader Zhong, I came here to eat at the right time."
Su Chen led the people in and joked.
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Please, why are you looking like this? It's just a matter of multiple people having multiple pairs of chopsticks."
"It's a pity that I didn't cook. How about a bowl of instant noodles?"
"Stop eating instant noodles. I'll treat you to a meal. Thank you for your help last time."
"You're welcome. After all, I took the money."
The 500,000 yuan bonus has already arrived, so he is still very willing to help like this.
Chunman Restaurant.
A quiet and elegant private room.
Zhong Yan got down to business. He wasn't just here to make a living, he mainly had a case.
This time the mission was to a small mountain village called Tengyun Village, in Yunhai City next to City A.
Although Tengyun Village is not in City A, it is still under the jurisdiction of their Group A. If there is any problem, members of Group A will naturally need to go there.
"Going on business at night? You guys are working really hard, so you don't have to sleep?"
Su Chen was not an activist at work, so his first reaction was to refuse.
Of course Zhong Yan knew that this was just an excuse.
There are few practitioners, so how can Su Chen take it to heart? I just don’t want to go on a mission.
Now he knew very well how to handle Su Chen, and said calmly: "There are travel expenses for business trips, and the bonus is tripled."
Sure enough, the rejection on Su Chen's face softened visibly.
He didn't want to expose too much his nature of easily giving up for five buckets of rice, so he coughed lightly and found a step for himself.
"Since the organization has a need, it is my duty to do so. Please tell me the specific situation."
Seeing Su Chen's serious look, Zhong Yan rolled his eyes. This brat really got into the money trap.
Then he introduced the situation of Tengyun Village.
The problems in Tengyun Village have been around for a long time, at least decades.
This village is known far and wide as a short-lived village. Few people in the village, regardless of gender, live beyond the age of fifty.
"A short-lived village, are you sure it's not a long-lived village?" Su Chen asked.
He had only heard of longevity village, saying that he drank the water from the mountain god or the sap of a century-old tree.
Zhong Yan nodded, "I'm sure, it's the short life of a short-lived ghost!"
"...At first, everyone thought there was something wrong with the water quality or soil in the village, whether it contained poisons or radiation that were harmful to the body, but after several rounds of inspections, no problems were found. < br>
There are also suspicions that these villagers have some special genetic disease genes, but no results have been found despite repeated tests.
The superiors began to wonder if there were ghosts and evil spirits at work, specializing in absorbing the yang energy of living people, but they sent colleagues to look at it and found nothing wrong.
I suspected that my previous colleague was not knowledgeable enough to see the problem, so I suggested investigating again. ”
If even Su Chen couldn't see what the problem was, then there was really nothing he could do.
Su Chen pondered, thinking about the possible reasons, "I know, let's go see what's going on tonight."
"Yeah."
After getting down to business, the dishes that we had ordered before were also served.
The food in this restaurant is indeed excellent, with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes. Everything suits Su Chen's appetite and makes him satisfied.
It was really different from the takeout he usually ordered. If it wasn't for someone's treat, he wouldn't be willing to come to a place like this to eat.
After eating and drinking, it's time to work hard.
Su Chen's mood was healed by the delicious food, and he became less depressed even when he had to work overtime at night when he wasn't broadcasting live. "Will the taxi be reimbursed?" Su Chen rubbed his hands and asked.
"No need to take a taxi. I called Xu Nian and asked him to drive you there."
Xu Nian was there last time, so he could lead the way. It would also be good for the boy to follow Su Chen and learn from his experience.
Ten minutes later, an inconspicuous car stopped in front of the two of them.
"Master, long time no see." He looked at Xu Nian who lowered the window to say hello.
Su Chen turned around and waved to Zhong Yan, then turned around and got in the car.
Tengyun Village is not far away, and it should not be far away.
He had no choice but to feel sleepy after eating so much that he fell asleep in the car. When I woke up, I arrived at the place. I don’t know how much time it took on the road.
When he arrived at the place, he looked at the time and it was already past nine o'clock.
"Xiao Xu, your driving skills are pretty good. You drive smoothly." Su Chen praised.
"Master Su, I'm not bragging. My driving skills are among the best in the team." Xu Nian gestured with his fingers exaggeratedly.
Just kidding, their special team has been arresting criminals for many years, and they still arrest people with special abilities, so they can't drive steadily and fast.
Looking at the airflow above Tengyun Village, Su Chen frowned and did not respond to Xu Nian's words.
On the surface, Tengyun Village seems to be no different from other ordinary small mountain villages, but if you look closely, you will find that Tengyun Village lacks vitality.
Vitality is the vitality necessary for the growth of all things in nature. If vitality is lacking, no grass will grow and it will become a barren land.
Tengyun Village is not a barren land, but compared to the environment where other people live, the vitality here is definitely not enough.
A house that is inhabited by people will be bright and shiny, but this village is like a dilapidated old house that has not been inhabited for a long time. It is gray and the air is filled with the smell of decadence and corruption.
No wonder few villagers in Tengyun Village live long.
But the vitality of a place will basically remain in a relatively stable state. Of course, there are too many complex factors in modern society, and vitality may be damaged. However, the loss rate of Tengyun Village is definitely not normal.
But we have to go into the village to find out what the specific situation is.
Xu Nian put down his finger in embarrassment and pointed to the village, "Master, I will show you the way."
"Well, let's go in and have a look." Su Chen nodded.
The village was quiet, with no chickens, ducks, or dogs barking. It felt unpopular.
But yes, the number of people living in rural areas now is only 23/10, and they are all old people or children. Most of the adults go out to work.
What's more, in Tengyun Village, a short-lived village, there are even fewer people who live there all year round. Basically, only the old, weak and sick are left.
A few villagers who had not rested yet saw two young men, Su Chen and Xu Nian, entering the village and looked at them curiously.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for?" An old man with gray hair and chapped lips stepped forward and asked.
If an uninformed person were asked to guess his age, seeing the old man's white hair and wrinkled face, he would definitely guess somewhere between eighty and ninety.
But Su Chen looked at his face and found that this person was actually just over forty years old and was still middle-aged.
This uncle has lost a lot of his vitality.
"Uncle, we came here to travel nearby. When we saw a village here, we came in and wanted to take a rest."
Su Chen did not directly state his identity to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
The uncle couldn't help shaking his head and sighing after hearing this, "People in the city are really weird. People from our own village can't stay in this ghost place, but you are rushing to travel here?"
"Traveling means going from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying, and experiencing different customs and customs."
"Come, uncle, I'll give you some water."
Xu Nianzheng replied seemingly unintentionally, and took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it over.
