Chapter 333 The Legend of Erdao Mountain
The mountain road is long. Chiba Cheng struggled to push the electric motorcycle with his left hand, stopping to rest for a while. There is no gas station in this poor place, let alone impossible. There are charging stations.
He rode a long way yesterday, ran on the mountain road in the middle of the night, and turned on the light in the middle of the night. This whole process basically consumed 77% of the electricity, and only a little bit of electricity was left. , barely holding on until now, finally went on strike.
However, Qianye Cheng didn't blame it. Who let him abandon it first?
But on the next road, Chiba Makoto could only push. At first, he thought about whether he could meet a passing car so he could hitch a ride, but in the end.
Well, for such a wide single-lane road, although it is a little remote, even though it has a lot of curves, and although the road is a little difficult to walk, it is not like there is no car for such a long time. Don't you think it is too much?
Chiba Makoto felt it was too much, quite too much.
Especially because his mobile phone was soaked in water. It will probably be a brick phone in the future, and PDI returned it to the victory team, so he really only relies on shouting for communication.
While pushing the cart on the road, Chiba Makoto finally understood why humans would rather go to war with the Lightning Man than give up electromagnetic waves, because once they get used to the convenience, they can never go back. Like now, Chiba Cheng's first thought was to call someone instead of sending a letter.
I don’t know how long I walked forward, but Chiba Cheng finally saw a mountain village built along the mountain. A railway passed through the middle of the village, and there was a platform here. From this, we can see this The mountain village is quite large.
"That's great." Qianye Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally saw someone. It was so difficult. A surge of strength suddenly came out of his already exhausted body. He strode forward and finally arrived. In the village, I found a repair shop and charged it there, while I went to the village to buy a new mobile phone.
After getting a brand new mobile phone and inserting the phone card into it, Chiba Makoto suddenly felt that he had returned to the 'modern society'. As soon as he turned on the mobile phone, he saw a series of missed calls and several emails, all of which It was from Maya. At first she wanted to ask why he didn't answer the phone, but later she asked if something had happened. Her worry was palpable.
Chiba Makoto immediately wanted to call back, but thought that Maya might have a schedule during the day, so he responded to an email, saying that his mobile phone fell into the water and it was determined that he was completely hopeless. Bought a new mobile phone.
Chiba Makoto was walking forward while texting, and inadvertently overheard the conversation between two angry-looking uncles in their fifties:
"Yamada wants to build a resort in Ertosan ”
"Didn't anyone tell him that Erdao Mountain cannot be moved?"
"He didn't believe it at all, and said it was feudal superstition. Hmm, he also said that he had gone to university and knew nothing about science. Stupid Boy, if I had known earlier, I should have beaten him more often. Several times."
"Where is the mayor? Are you going to let Yamada do whatever he wants?"
"The mayor has been bribed by him a long time ago."
"It must not be allowed. He moved Er Daoshan ”
"That's right, we're going to find someone right now and we must stop him."
Qianye Cheng was confused when he heard this, but he could tell that there was something wrong with Erdaoshan, so he turned around quickly. Asked: "I'm sorry, what is Erdaoshan you are talking about?"
The two uncles stopped, and one of them, who was as angry as a puffer fish, said angrily: "Your mother Didn’t Mom tell you that you can’t eavesdrop on other people’s conversations? “I wanted to, but she died early, so I really didn’t have the chance to listen to her teachings.”
The bearded uncle was stunned immediately, and the other thin uncle said quickly: "I'm sorry, he didn't mean to do it, it was just alas."
The bearded uncle bowed to Chiba Cheng and said, "I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter, I shouldn't have eavesdropped on your conversation." Chiba Cheng took out something from his clothes Press card, said: "I am a reporter, I wonder if I can help you?"
"Reporter?" The bearded uncle's voice suddenly rose several times, and his face showed a little With joy, he said: "Great, you dare to expose Mitsuyamada's behavior? I. I can give you any amount of money, as long as it can prevent him from developing Erdaoshan."
"I don't charge money, as long as the news you provide is valuable. It can be reported. "
"Of course it is valuable, it must be valuable," the thin uncle asked Qianye Cheng to sit down on a bench next to him, while he sat on a rock and sighed. started their story.
The content of the story is not complicated. Ten years ago, a college student was born in a poor town and became the pride of the whole town. However, after he left, there was no news again. Until he suddenly came back not long ago, and he became a 'big student'. The boss, wearing a suit and leather tie, driving a luxury car, and followed by several similarly well-dressed people, claimed that he would lead everyone to get rich together.
But before everyone was happy for two days, they learned what his 'secret to wealth' was, which was to develop Erdao Mountain next to the town and build it into a tourist resort, using the beautiful scenery of Erdao Mountain The scenery and the town that maintains its original style will definitely attract a lot of tourists, and the town residents can also make money by opening B&Bs or specialty restaurants.
Originally, Mr. Yamada thought that he was leading the villagers to become well-off, but he was opposed by the older generation and people from the previous generation. The reason was that there were evil spirits sealed in the mountains. Once moved, If it does, evil spirits will be released and the town will be destroyed.
Such unscientific and superstitious rhetoric was naturally scorned by Yamada. He thought that these 'old people' who wanted to rely on their old age to sell themselves out were demanding more compensation, so he called them together to discuss a feasible solution. As a result, the old man But they didn't talk about it at all. They only said, "Er Knife Mountain cannot be moved."
This made Yamada very angry. He simply bypassed these stiff-minded guys and reached an agreement directly with the governor and village chief of the county hall. He signed the Erdaoshan lease and use agreement and obtained the development rights without having to negotiate with the governor. These people were entangled, and when the time came, they would directly bring the workers and construction machinery into the site.
Yamada ignored the opinions of his 'elders' in this way, which naturally made the elders very angry, and they were preparing to gather a crowd to denounce Yamada.
"Evil spirit?" Chiba Cheng heard this word again. The first thing he thought of was the Suna ghost in Suna Mountain, and he quickly asked: "What kind of evil spirit legend is it?"< br>
According to his past experience, in the Ultraman world, the more legends are, the more they will become reality. Suna Mountain can already illustrate the problem, so is this Erdao Mountain a similar situation?
Chiba Makoto hurriedly began to recall the memoirs "Taipei Customs" written by Ida Iryu. There seemed to be no record of Ertoyama in it, but this did not mean that we should relax our vigilance. After all, Ida Iryu was only from the Warring States Period. Just one of the active witchers.
