The mountain road was long. Chiba Cheng struggled to push the electric motorcycle with his left hand, stopping from time to time to rest. There was no gas station in this poor place, let alone charging piles.
He rode a long way yesterday, ran on mountain roads 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. With only a little electricity left, he could barely survive until now. Finally a strike.
However, Qianye Cheng didn't blame it. Who made him abandon it first?
But for the rest of the way, Chiba Makoto could only push him. At first, he was thinking about whether he could meet a passing car so he could hitch a ride, but...
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 Cheng felt it was too much, quite too much.
Especially since 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 Cheng finally understood why humans would rather go to war with lightning people than give up electromagnetic waves, because once they get used to convenience, they can never go back. Just like now, Chiba Cheng The first thing I thought of was to call someone instead of sending a letter.
I don’t know how long he 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, it can be seen that the scale of this 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 Cheng suddenly felt like he was back in the 'modern society'. As soon as he turned on the mobile phone, he saw a series of missed calls and several emails, all sent by Maya. At first, I wanted to ask him why he didn't answer the phone. Later, I asked him if something had happened. I was worried and worried.
Chiba Makoto immediately wanted to call back, but thought Maya might have a schedule during the day, so he replied an email, saying that his phone fell into the water and he had just bought a new phone after it was determined to be completely hopeless.
Chiba Cheng was walking forward while sending a text message, and inadvertently heard the conversation between two angry-looking uncles in their fifties:
"Yamada is going to build a resort in Erdaoshan."
"Didn't anyone tell him that Erdao Mountain cannot be moved?"
"He didn't believe it at all, and said it was feudal superstition. Humph, he said that he had gone to college and knew nothing about science. Brat, if I had known better, I should have beaten him more times."
"Where's the mayor? Are you going to let Yamada do whatever he wants?"
"The mayor has been bribed by him a long time ago."
"We must not let him touch Erdaoshan."
"That's right, we're going to find someone right now and we must stop him."
Qianye Cheng listened in confusion, but he could tell that there was something wrong with Erdaoshan, so he quickly turned around and 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: "Didn't your mother tell you that you can't eavesdrop on other people's conversations? Boy!"
"Although I wanted to, she died relatively young, so I really didn't have the chance to listen to her teachings."
The bearded uncle was stunned for a moment, and the other thin uncle said quickly: "I'm sorry, he didn't mean to do it, it's just...sigh."
The bearded uncle bowed to Chiba Cheng and said, "I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, I shouldn't eavesdrop on your conversation," Chiba Cheng took out his press pass from his clothes and said, "I'm a reporter. I wonder if I can help you?"
"Reporter?" The bearded uncle's voice suddenly rose several times, with a little joy on his face, and said: "Great, do you dare to expose Yamada's behavior? I...I can give you money, if you want No matter how much it is, as long as it can prevent him from developing Erdao Mountain."
"I don't charge money. As long as the news you provide is valuable, it will be reported."
"Of course it's valuable, it must be valuable." The skinny uncle invited Chiba Makoto to sit down on a bench next to him, while he sat on a rock and sighed as he told 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 and maintaining its original style. A small town will definitely attract a lot of tourists, and small town residents can also use it to open B&Bs or specialty restaurants to make money.
Originally, Mr. Yamada thought he was leading the villagers towards a better life, but he was opposed by the older generation and the people from the previous generation. The reason was that there were evil spirits sealed in the mountains, and once they were moved, they would be released. The evil spirit destroyed the town.
Such unscientific and superstitious rhetoric was naturally scorned by Yamada, thinking that these "old people" who wanted to rely on their old age to sell themselves out were asking for more compensation, so he called them together to discuss a feasible solution, but the old people did not talk about it at all. Just one sentence: "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, signed the Erdaoshan lease and use agreement, and obtained the development rights. Then he would not have to tangle with these people. When the time comes, bring workers and construction machinery directly 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?" Qianye 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?"
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 it possible that this Erdao Mountain is also in a similar situation?
Chiba Makoto hurriedly began to recall the memoirs "Taipei Fudoki" written by Ida Iryu. There seemed to be no record of Erdaoshan in it, but this did not mean that he could relax his vigilance. After all, Ida Iryu was just one of the active demon hunters during the Warring States Period. Just one.
