It's just past noon now, and at this time you can still catch the last bus to Beijing Town at the station.
Song Ning and Qiao Bo set off without stopping. They went to the bus station, passed by the department store where Sister Hong worked, and sold some things to the Qiao family.
Sister Hong returned to work the day after she was injured. She only had a few scrapes on her head and nothing serious on her body. She fainted because she was scared!
Seeing this, Song Ning and Qiao Bo thanked him profusely and forced a pile of things on Qiao Bo, forcing him to take them.
Song Ning accepted it with a smile, and gave Sister Hong some tips. The smile on Sister Hong's face suddenly became much more sincere.
Sister Hong has good fortune in terms of wealth. She is the type of person who dares to work hard and do things in the early days.
To do business, you need eloquence and means, and you will naturally be good at it.
She took advantage of her position and the "good things" in the department store to win over a group of customers.
Most of these customers are in the upper-middle class of society in terms of both consumption level and social status, which is her source of confidence.
However, like many strong women in later generations, Sister Hong’s marriage was not smooth.
Although she and her husband had a daughter, she may never be able to give birth to a son due to her physical condition.
But her husband should be very aware of this, so Sister Hong and her husband may divorce because of this reason.
Song Ning mentioned it a few times in a tactful way, but didn't go into details.
Sister Hong and her husband have a good relationship now, why is she acting like such a bad person?
Besides, fate is a mysterious thing. Who can guarantee it 100% that it cannot be changed?
If she can travel through a book and Song Wan can be reborn, what else can't happen?
Nothing happened on the way, everything went very smoothly.
This made Song Ning wonder if her luck was getting better.
Good luck actually tends to cluster together, and those with good luck mostly encounter lucky people and things.
On the contrary, if one has bad luck, all kinds of bad luck will happen to him.
Therefore, if a person lives a simple life every day, then he should be thankful...
"Brother..."
As soon as Song Ning and Qiao Bo stepped out of the town's bus station, the sharp-eyed Qiao An noticed them.
"You guys are finally here..."
"Brother, you don't know, something happened in our village!"
Qiao An obviously had a lot to say, and after seeing Qiao Bo, he didn't bother to find a place and just started shouting loudly.
There were quite a few people at the bus station, and quite a few people were listening to Qiao An's words. Qiao Bo and the other two quickly became the focus of the crowd.
Song Ning glanced at Qiao An with an indescribable look, and she knew that encountering this unlucky child would definitely bring bad luck!
Qiao An glared at Song Ning, then stood up and pushed Song Ning aside.
Hey! She has such a bad temper!
Song Ning raised her leg and kicked Qiao An on the butt!
Qiao An staggered after being kicked by her. After stabilizing herself, she rolled up her sleeves and was about to cause trouble for Song Ning.
"Joan!"
Qiao Bo saw that Song Ning was about to suffer a loss, so he quickly called out to Qiao An.
The "little trouble maker" finally became lively again, but he suffered a little loss.
What is a younger brother in front of his wife?
Qiao An was furious but couldn't say anything: "You're so arrogant! You're so great! You're using me as a tool to coax your wife..."
"What happened in the village? Tell me clearly!"
Qiao Bo ignored Qiao An's accusing gaze and changed the subject with a serious face.
"Rocks have been falling intermittently from the mountain behind our village since the day before yesterday."
"The villagers were caught off guard, and several people were injured when they went to the fields..."
"Isn't this the first time our village has implemented the household contract responsibility system? Everyone is so enthusiastic..."
Qiao An had so much to say, here and there, nothing at all.
"How many points did you get in the Chinese language test in high school?"
Song Ning looked at Qiao An speechlessly. Her mother-in-law Zhang Lan kept saying that Qiao An was a good student with good grades. Is this what a good student looks like?
“What’s it to you?”
Qiao An glared at Song Ning angrily. She really didn't know what was so good about this woman!
His brother still protects him like a treasure...
"Speak up!"
Qiao Bo also frowned, thinking the same thing as Song Ning. It seemed that Qiao An's grades were inflated...
Qiao An curled her lips in grievance, "It's almost here..."
"The village chief and the brigade cadres sent someone to the back of the mountain to take a look, and guess what..."
Qiao An deliberately kept the secret in suspense and gave Qiao Bo a hint with a wink.
Qiao Bo frowned even more tightly. What was going on?
Qiao An really needs to be disciplined.
Qiao An was destined to throw a wink to a blind man. He didn't know that showing off in front of his brother today completely laid the groundwork for his future "miserable life".
"Didn't a team of archaeologists come to the back mountain a while ago? They said they found an ancient tomb there..."
"Later, they actually found something, and even the Beijing archaeological team came."
"Our village is the only access point to the back mountain. The archaeological team delivers supplies every two days and happens to run into people from our village going up the mountain."
"Guess what?"
Qiao An spread his hands and said, "All the members of the archaeological team are gone..."
"No more?"
Song Ning moved his fingers quickly a few times. Judging from the hexagram, apart from a few injured people, there was nothing unusual in Qiao Village...
"Why is there no way?"
Song Ning's brows furrowed slightly.
"It's gone, it's gone! What's the point of it? Do I know I'm still standing here?"
Qiao An rolled her eyes impatiently. "Their tents are all in good condition, but they just can't find anyone. Where do you think they are?"
"In the tomb!"
Song Ning and Qiao Bo said "䦤" at the same time.
Qiao An was startled by them and scratched his head, "I haven't found the entrance to the tomb yet!"
"Let's talk first! Why are you here?"
Qiao Bo estimated that Qiao An didn't know much. If he wanted to know more information, he should go to Qiaojia Village.
"Dad asked me to come! Oh... by the way! The road from the town to our village is closed. Dad was afraid you didn't know, so he asked me to wait for you here..."
"Rockfall?"
There were quite a few fallen rocks when they left the village, but they were not big enough to block the road.
Did some more rocks fall from the mountain later?
“Yes, yes!”
Qiao An nodded vigorously several times, "They are all huge rocks from the mountain, blocking the road to our village and town."
"Our village is working with surrounding villages to clear the stones, but the progress is slow. It will probably take some time..."
Qiao Bo and Song Ning looked at each other. It seemed that the situation in the tomb was not optimistic.
The most likely cause of rockfall on the mountain was a landslide in the tomb, which damaged the mountain.
It's been a few days, I wonder if there are any survivors from the archaeological team in the tomb...
Qiaojia Village.
The brigade office in the village was filled with smoke. The village chief and several brigade leaders each held a cigarette and puffed away with sad faces.
“Go up the mountain!”
The village chief extinguished his cigarette with the sole of his shoe and said, "Let's get a few villagers to go up the mountain and take a look..."
"Still going up the mountain? There's no news from the rescuers who went up yesterday! The group that delivered supplies today hasn't come down yet..."
"Everyone in the village is in a panic now. Who is responsible? There's something really weird going on in the back mountain!"
Someone in the audience shouted something, and everyone nodded.
Indeed! The people who followed them up the mountain yesterday haven't come down yet. Who knows what happened?
It's weird that a large group of people can just disappear like that!
