Undoubtedly, with Tang Meng's wisdom, she has already guessed Liu Guangshui's true intention of denying his identity as a reporter, but there is a saying that goes well, the more you describe, the darker you get. You can never explain it clearly to someone who insists that you are a thief. , in this case, is it still necessary to argue with it? The important thing is to quickly find the village chief's house. Not only that, through a series of encounters during the period, she also vaguely felt that the village chief Wang's house...may be a key to this mission!
Find the village chief as soon as possible, and then get more clues through the village chief!
"Well, Xiaotang, you are right. This person is really unreasonable. Let's go." Liu Guangshui is a smart man. Although he does not know Tang Meng's true identity, in the false memory imposed on him by the curse, Whether it is Tang Meng or other executors, everyone is his subordinate. Among them, Tang Meng gave him the impression of a calm and smart woman. It was not only him who had this impression, but also Song Zhi, Zhou Xiaolan and Liu Lang. This was also the case one after another. As expected, after listening to the suggestion of this beautiful subordinate, Liu Guangshui, who had long wanted to avoid getting entangled with the middle-aged man, immediately agreed. Then, under the leadership of Liu Guangshui, everyone stopped talking to the middle-aged man and went straight forward. Go.
"Hey, stop!" Sure enough, seeing the crowd ignoring him and continuing to move forward, the already annoyed middle-aged man became angrier and wanted to follow and stop him, but as soon as he turned around, a bald man was killed on the shoulder. Hold!
"Oh! Let go, let go quickly...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was grinning, Peng Hu shook his face and grinned: "Brother, I advise you to mind your own business, otherwise the consequences will be serious, very serious!"
Finally, under the threat of Peng Hu's absolutely powerful force, the middle-aged man was forced to compromise and completely gave up his plan to stop them. At this moment, seeing the crowd walking further and further away, the middle-aged man first glared at the back of the crowd with vicious eyes. , and finally turned around and left unwillingly.
Five minutes later, the scene shifted to the north of Hongye Village.
Looking at the large private house in front of him, which seemed to be the most magnificent in the village, Liu Guangshui hesitated a little in front of the door. If he went according to the information he first learned from the woman, this house should be that of Village Chief Wang. Home.
Not to mention, although the house of Village Chief Wang’s family is in no way comparable to the high-rise buildings in the city, at least it can be described as grand in the village. The typical large house style is very different from other residential houses.
"Well, the house looks quite big. It's most likely the village chief's house. Xiao Liu, go knock on the door."
Boom, boom, boom!
"Hey! Is there anyone? Is there anyone at home?" Seeing the leader speak, Liu Lang, a subordinate, walked to the door as instructed, and then knocked on the door without any scruples, shouting while knocking on the door, accompanied by The knocking and shouting continued, and soon the sound of footsteps was heard in the courtyard. After a while, the door was opened by a young girl from the inside.
Similar to the reaction of other villagers, after seeing a group of strange men and women in fashionable clothes standing outside the door, the girl was startled for a moment, and then asked carefully with a puzzled look on her face: "You, who are you?"
The rest of the matter was simple. Since he had already made up his mind, Chen Guangshui went over to negotiate with a smile on his face again and told the young girl everything he wanted to do.
"...Haha, that's what happened. In order to experience the farm style, we tourists from the city wanted to stay in your village for a few days, but there was no hotel in your village, so we came to Village Chief Wang to find a way."
"So that's it. This matter really has to be solved by my grandpa. Well, then you guys come in and I'll call my grandpa."
The young girl was quite reasonable. After hearing everyone's intentions, the girl let everyone into the yard and hurried into the main room.
"Grandpa! A group of city people are coming outside!"
Two minutes later, in the central hall of this courtyard, everyone, including the executor, finally saw the mayor of Akiye Village.
An ordinary old man with a wrinkled face who looks to be in his early 60s.
"Gentlemen from the city, this old man is Wang Zeqing, the head of this village."
……………
Hooray, hooray.
The autumn breeze swept through the village lightly. The breeze blew and picked up large pieces of fallen leaves on the ground. For a moment, the red leaves were all over the sky and fluttering in the sky, which completely fit the village's rather artistic name, Autumn Leaf Village.
"Oh, by the way, this is my granddaughter Xiaojuan."
In the main room, the old man who looked ordinary in front of him introduced himself. Liu Guangshui, who was asking for help, did not dare to neglect. After Village Chief Wang introduced himself and his granddaughter, Liu Guangshui also hurriedly introduced everyone in his party, and then He quickly re-narrated the purpose of his visit to Village Chief Wang. With Liu Guangshui as the nominal leader in charge of the conversation, the executors headed by Zhao Ping were happy to have their time at ease. They all observed silently, sometimes observing the village chief and sometimes sizing him up. Xiaojuan glanced at the environment in the main room from time to time, not knowing what she was thinking.
"A tourist in the city? It's not easy. We haven't seen any strangers in Qiuye Village for a long time. I never thought that people from the city would actually come here today. Welcome."
After learning about the intention of Liu Guangshui and his party, I thought that the old man would be entangled and embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't care at all. Not only did the old man not show any doubt or rejection, but he also smiled and expressed welcome, and his attitude was very kind, especially when he got married. When they learned that these people hoped that they could help find a place to live, Village Chief Wang's answer surprised everyone...
"Haha, the place we live in is simple. The old man's house is quite spacious. Xiaojuan and I are the only two people at home now. If you don't mind, you can stay with me these days."
Through conversation, everyone knew the whole story. Even though Village Chief Wang’s house was the largest in the village, currently only he and his granddaughter Xiaojuan lived there. Xiaojuan’s parents both worked in the town, and the huge courtyard house was empty. It's not a lot. If you put it that way, it's indeed a suitable place to stay.
"Ah! Really...really? Thank you so much, Village Chief Wang! Don't worry, we will pay for the accommodation and food expenses."
As the saying goes, the icing on the cake is far less grateful than the help in times of need. As soon as Village Chief Wang said this, the reporters sitting opposite were overjoyed. Liu Guangshui, a sophisticated man, even smiled and thanked the old man. He wanted to bow to the old man and thank him. There was no trace of gratitude in the whole process. They were trying to avoid being polite. After all, they were in urgent need of a place to live. If they were to be polite at this time, it would be too fake.
Regarding Liu Liu Guangshui's suggestion to pay, Village Chief Wang still smiled and waved his hands, not taking it seriously. Then he looked at the sky outside the window with a sudden look on his face, and finally said to everyone: "Oh, look at me, I am older." I even forgot about this, haha, you haven’t eaten yet, right?”
Hearing this, Liu Guangshui and others smiled awkwardly. It was not their fault for reacting this way, but they were really hungry. From morning to now, everyone had been busy on the road. During this period, they traveled through mountains and rivers and finally reached the village. Time was running out. It was approaching afternoon, and now I was already hungry. Seeing Village Chief Wang being so considerate, how could everyone refuse? Just like now, seeing these city people laughing awkwardly, Village Chief Wang nodded with understanding, so he ordered his granddaughter standing behind him: "Xiaojuan, go to the kitchen to cook first, and then put the few people in the courtyard together." Clean up an empty house and use it to accommodate guests."
The accommodation arranged by Village Chief Wang for everyone is quite good. Although there are many people in the tour group, there are also many vacant rooms. As a courtyard house, except for the east room in the middle, which is definitely occupied by Village Chief Wang and his grandson, the rooms on the left and right are The house naturally became the accommodation room for a group of reporters, and there were four rooms on each side. Since the rooms were quite sufficient, it was not crowded. On average, one room was just enough for two people. This was how Liu Guangshui arranged it at the beginning. The strange thing is that although the room is sufficient for two people, Zhao Ping unexpectedly suggested that three people share a room. There is no doubt that Zhao Ping's request was based on safety considerations, and the executors were all aware of this. , however, Liu Guangshui and others were completely confused and could not understand what the other party meant. Although the description was like this, but with the collective support of the new staff, Liu Guangshui had no choice but to nod and agree. Of course, even if he agreed, it was actually just an agreement. There are three new employees per room, but old employees like Song Zhi obviously have no intention of crowding in. Since Zhao Ping and other new employees are all crowded into the west side of the house, the remaining north side of the house will naturally be occupied by the old employees. The room is occupied by one person, but the accommodation environment is relatively simple. In addition to the bed, there are tables and chairs, and there are no so-called household appliances at all. However, considering that this is just a remote village with no water or electricity, everyone quickly moved. Relieved.
Since the house on the north side is occupied by Liu Guangshui and other plot characters, the west house on the opposite side undoubtedly needs to be arranged by the executor. It is said that it is arranged by himself, but in fact it is not the case at all. It is different from the democracy that He Fei will discuss with everyone every time. Zhao Ping actually started talking about the policy. Yes, the man with glasses did not discuss with everyone, but directly issued orders. Finally, under Zhao Ping's arrangement, Peng Hu, Li Tianheng and He Fei, who was still sleeping, Living in the same room, I shared a room with Chen Xiaoyao and Chen Shuihong. Cheng Ying, Kong Ling and Tang Meng occupied one room. As for the three newcomers Han Xuedian, Yang Lei and Ma Wenhai, they lived in the last room.
To be honest, Zhao Ping's accommodation arrangements are extremely unreasonable. Except for Cheng Ying and other three women who must live in the same room, the rest of the arrangements are biased. Two of the rooms are full of seniors, but all the newcomers are allowed to stay together. together? And the newcomers have always had little experience. Without the company of senior people, if danger occurs while sleeping, the newcomers have no idea how to deal with it. The result is certain. Seeing Zhao Ping's arrangement, Tang Meng couldn't help but frown. Just as she was about to raise a question, Cheng Ying quickly held her down with quick eyes and hands, and then shook her head slightly at the female doctor. In fact, not only Tang Meng felt extremely unreasonable, but after learning about the arrangement of the members, Peng Hu also widened his eyes, as if With a surprised expression, he wanted to ask the man with glasses what kind of plane he was doing, but unexpectedly, Chen Shuihong tugged at the corner of his clothes. Looking back, he saw Chen Shuihong winking at him, implying that his intention was very obvious. In the end, Chen Shuihong Despite his desperate hint, Peng Hu still didn't say anything.
Time, 19:27 at night.
At this moment, in a room with flickering candlelight in the north room, everyone, including the executor, who had just had dinner was gathering together in Liu Guangshui's room, seemingly discussing something.
With the help of the candlelight on the table, he saw that there were no outsiders at the scene, and saw that many subordinates had arrived. Perhaps he thought that the time had come. As the leader, Liu Guangshui revealed his plan to the public. He first glanced at everyone present, and then the corners of Liu Guangshui's mouth raised. He was the first to speak: "During the day, everyone must have noticed something was wrong from the middle-aged man's mouth, right?"
As the saying goes, one family does not belong to the same family. If Liu Guangshui is a real veteran reporter with a keen sense of smell, then why don’t other people who have also been reporters for a long time have some understanding? Sure enough, as soon as Liu Guangshui finished speaking, Song Zhi and others who were also reporters at the scene instantly understood the leader's intention. This time Zhou Xiaolan reacted the fastest. Before Song Zhi next to him could speak, the female reporter had already answered in a tentative tone: "Mr. Liu, you mean...are you trying to dig up news?"
"good!"
Seeing Zhou Xiaolan's answer, Liu Guangshui first smiled proudly, and then lowered his voice and said to everyone: "Everyone knows that in our line of work one must have a keen sense of smell. This sense of smell refers to being good at discovering and digging for news. If If you can't even do this, then you are not a qualified reporter. During the day, we all saw the strange reactions of the villagers when they saw us taking out our cameras. The middle-aged man who came later behaved abnormally. Hehe, so I have decades of experience as a reporter, and I think...there must be a big news hidden in this village, and most likely it is something that no one wants outsiders to know!"
"Is it possible that Mr. Liu is referring to 'that thing' that the middle-aged man said?" This time Liu Lang wanted to speak, but Song Zhi, who had been prepared for a long time, spoke first.
Seeing that all his subordinates had come to their senses, Liu Guangshui nodded with satisfaction. While nodding, he glanced out the window. After confirming that there was no one in the courtyard, Liu Guangshui continued without stopping: "Well, think about it, it can bring an entire village to hundreds of villagers." How can all the things that we don't want to disclose be trivial? As long as we can investigate this matter and report it, if the level of excitement is better... By then it will be difficult for our newspaper to become famous, and the future of the newspaper will be bright. Well, we people will naturally have a bright future!"
In fact, at this point, Liu Guangshui's true intention has become clear. This was the reason why he concealed his identity as a journalist from the village chief and even all the villagers. Now that he said this, not only Liu Guangshui himself was excited, but also the people around him. Liu Lang, Song Zhi and Zhou Xiaolan were also moved, and they obviously agreed with the leader's remarks.
Yes, as the saying goes, Taoists go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Although their original intention of coming to the village is to travel, if they find out a breaking news during the trip, this will be very helpful to their career prospects. Yes, thinking of this, there was no need for Liu Guangshui to continue to say anything. Several people had already made their own plans in their hearts and already knew what to do next.
As for Zhao Ping and others who were also at the scene...
Taking advantage of the status that new reporters must learn, the executor has been listening silently from the beginning to the present. I thought that the four plot characters would talk about something trivial, but unexpectedly the content they talked about actually involved events in the village. , coincides with the issues that the executors are currently concerned about, and Liu Guangshui's investigation plan is also in line with everyone's intentions. Yes, in order to solve the supernatural incident as soon as possible, in fact, the executors headed by Zhao Ping also very much hope to be in the village. We launched an investigation to see if we could find valuable clues that would help solve the mystery. Unexpectedly, Liu Guangshui also planned to investigate. Although the purpose of these people investigating the incident was just to make money and become famous, their goals were exactly the same as those of the executors! Seeing this, everyone was surprised and looked at Zhao Ping. Zhao Ping nodded slightly without comment, indicating not to stop them, and made it clear that Liu Guangshui and others would be asked to investigate. This would also make it easier for the executor to follow. act.
Xu suddenly discovered something during the conversation. Seeing that Song Zhi and other three old employees agreed, Liu Guangshui turned his eyes to the opposite side, and then asked Zhao Ping and others who were listening in the whole process: "By the way, Zhao Ping, why don't any of you?" What are you talking about? Come on, tell me what you think?"
Seeing that Liu Guangshui was interested in asking for other people's opinions, Zhao Ping smiled and directly replied in a calm tone: "Mr. Liu, we are all newcomers who have just joined the newspaper. We are still in the learning stage. You can make arrangements if anything happens."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu, you don't need to ask us about this. Just discuss it with Brother Song and the others. Li Tianheng, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, we will do whatever you say, Mr. Liu, without any hesitation."
Not to mention, after hearing Zhao Ping's answer and seeing Chen Shuihong dragging Li Tianheng along to join him, Liu Guangshui, who was just meaning it, was immediately extremely satisfied. He really didn't expect that these new subordinates would be so obedient. Not only did they not refuse at all, He didn't mean to say that, but everyone still followed his own lead, and his words were full of respect, which made Liu Guangshui feel very comfortable.
(It seems it’s time to straighten this group of people out...)
Facing the respectful attitude of Zhao Ping and others, Editor Liu made up his mind and decided to regularize these intern reporters when he returned. After all, no leader would reject honest and obedient subordinates.
Returning to the topic, seeing that Zhao Ping and others had no objections, they nodded. Liu Guangshui made the final decision: "Since everyone agrees, from tomorrow on, we will start investigating and digging into 'that matter'. Anyway, everyone is not the first one." After doing this for a day, you must have an idea of how to investigate. Remember, it is best not to expose your identity, lest you be driven out of the village by the angry villagers, which will be difficult to handle. "
Currently, Liu Guangshui is proudly explaining the precautions to all his subordinates. The executor has no interest in this. Just kidding, do you still need special instructions on this matter? Except for the three newcomers Han Xuedian who just joined, who among the others is not an experienced senior? They already knew how to investigate, and because of this, when the topic turned to matters needing attention, except for Zhao Pingping, who was expressionless and showed no emotion at all, the others became bored, shook their faces, and Peng Hu said He yawned and began to stare at Li Tianheng and the equally bored Chen Shuihong. Kong Ling, who was even more bored, simply hugged Tang Meng and closed his eyes to sleep, as if he was not interested in anything. On the contrary, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao's vigilance has not diminished, and he is still concentrating on guarding the surroundings, but...
I don't know if it was a coincidence or not. During the alert period, when the two of them subconsciously turned to look out the window, they discovered something with the help of the moonlight. They accidentally saw a figure. A figure passed quietly outside the window and just happened to escape from the courtyard. Passed by!
Seeing this, both Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao were shocked at the same time. First they looked at each other, and then...
"Mr. Liu, let me go to the toilet."
"Huh? By coincidence, I was planning to go too."
As expected, as soon as they spotted the figure outside the window, the next moment, the two of them stood up one after another and gave reasons to leave the room. Liu Guangshui, who was frothing at the mouth, didn't pay attention to this and just waved his hands to express casualness. Song Zhiru, on the other hand, Suddenly thinking of something, he instinctively turned around and jokingly reminded the two people who were about to go out: "You two, be mentally prepared. The toilets in this rural area are not ordinary smelly. I went there once during the day and the smell was so bad that it burned my brain!"
Let’s not talk about the smell of the rural toilets, nor the reactions of the other enforcers after the two left. Since their attention was entirely focused on the figure who just passed by, Cheng Ying took the lead as soon as she went out and arrived at the compound. , and Chen Xiaoyao, who was following behind, moved urgently, and both walked towards the courtyard gate.
When he came to the door and looked around, he saw two figures standing vaguely about ten meters in front. They seemed to be talking to each other. Unfortunately, due to the distance and the fact that both parties deliberately lowered their voices, in fact, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao did not hear the conversation.
Of course, even if it is difficult to hear clearly from a distance, who is Cheng Ying? Why does Chen Xiaoyao need anyone? After confirming that she couldn't hear clearly by staying by the door, Cheng Ying moved and galloped through the night like a strong wild cat. She instantly jumped under a big tree in front of her. Chen Xiaoyao followed her almost at the same time. , as the distance hiding under the tree shortened, I could hear the conversation clearly this time, but who would have thought that as soon as they heard the sound, both Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao were shocked at the same time!
Why surprised?
The reason is very simple, that is because they heard a familiar voice, or they were impressed by the two voices talking in low voices in front of them. One of the voices belonged to Village Chief Wang as they had guessed, but the other voice made them think... The National People's Congress was surprised. The voice turned out to be the voice of the middle-aged man whom everyone had met during the day! At this moment, Village Chief Wang was having a private conversation with the middle-aged man face to face!
