Chapter 19: Forging a Nini Village



When Zhao Zhen stepped into the back garden, it was dinner time at 3:00 p.m.

Zhao Jun's three meals a day were provided by Yan Shu, and Yan Shu also helped him squat on the toilet when he went to the toilet.

Yan Shu would usually sit here for an hour or two for every meal, and about six or seven hours a day, listening to Zhao Jun's nonsense, and then reporting what he recorded to Zhao Zhen.

In fact, sometimes Zhao Jun was also suspicious. As a village chief, he should have a lot of things to do every day.

Why does the old village chief have so much free time to chat with him every day?

The village chief delivered three meals a day to him, served him in bed, and even helped him go to the toilet with his help, which made him feel embarrassed every time he went to the toilet.

Of course.

He didn't mind that he was an old man.

Although the toilet paper here is a bit hard, and the old village chief has no more than 20-year-old granddaughters who are pretty and keep him amused, there is always someone to chat with and relieve his boredom.

It was good to have two old men, the village chief and the party secretary, talking to him. At least it could give him some psychological comfort after he became blind.

But doesn’t the village committee do anything?

The village chief and the village party secretary, are they so willing to spend so much time with him every day?

The highly educated volunteer teachers in Daliangshan are precious, but they don’t have to stay by your side most of the day, right?

Zhao Jun was confused.

More importantly, he had been in Nini Village for almost ten days. Even if he slept every day, he had no idea how much time had passed. But judging by the three meals a day that Yan Shu brought him and the frequency of acupuncture treatments by the doctor, he could roughly estimate that it had been at least seven or eight days.

With the efficiency of our great infrastructure construction maniacs in Greater China, if there is no access within a day after the rainstorm stops, it would be considered a loss. How is it possible that the road has not been repaired for so long?

The electricity supply has not been repaired yet.

What's the meaning.

When did the State Grid collapse to this extent?

It doesn't make sense.

I also hoped that the village chief could bring the children here, even if it’s just to get to know them first.

As a result, the village chief kept making excuses to refuse, and until now he had not even seen the shadow of the children, nor had he even heard the children's voices outside the door.

Zhao Jun had all kinds of doubts, but at first he did not think about them carefully because of his injuries and blindness.

But now that his external injuries were almost healed, and he had plenty of time to think about it every day, he couldn't help but think about it.

The entire Nini Village is filled with weirdness.

The only living people I know now are the old village chief, the village party secretary, and the old doctor who never speaks.

Occasionally, I could hear footsteps and very soft conversations outside the door. When I asked loudly, there was no response. When I wanted to open the door to go out, it was often locked.

This place was filled with fog. After a series of events, Zhao Jun, who had originally calmed down a little, felt a little uneasy.

Was I kidnapped?

But he quickly dismissed the idea from his head.

First of all, he thought that he was just an ordinary teacher in a mountain village, with no extra money and nothing to be kidnapped for.

Secondly, he was unwilling and dared not think so.

Finally, even if he was really kidnapped, he is now in the tiger's mouth. If the truth is revealed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

So he had to stay calm.

It would be best if everything develops in the expected direction. I hope I am just overthinking it.

Zhao Jun thought to himself.

After dinner, Zhao Jun once again expressed his wish to meet with the children, as a test.

If the village chief finds a reason to refuse, he won't have time to think too much. If he doesn't refuse, then he is just overthinking.

Fortunately, this time Yan Shu did not refuse, but promised to give him an answer tomorrow.

When Yan Shu came out of Zhao Jun's room, he saw Zhao Zhen and several prime ministers coming towards this direction from afar.

He went to meet him.

Zhao Zhen is quite busy with state affairs today. They have been staying in the back garden for too long recently, resulting in a backlog of many important matters that need to be dealt with.

Although there were deputy prime ministers to help deal with things, there were still some matters that Zhao Zhen and his team had to make the decisions on. So Zhao Zhen spent the entire day in the inner hall of the Chuigong Palace reviewing state affairs with several prime ministers.

When Zhao Zhen came over, he saw Yan Shu and said casually, "Uncle Tong, what did Zhao Jun say today?"

Yan Shu said in a deep voice, "Sir, we can no longer hide this."

"So soon?"

Zhao Zhen's expression became serious.

Although I knew Zhao Jun would be suspicious, I didn't expect that he would become suspicious in just over ten days.

Perhaps this was related to the technology of later generations, which could repair roads and connect to power grids as quickly as possible. However, the Song Dynasty lacked such technology, so Zhao Jun naturally sensed something was wrong.

Yan Shu replied, "Yes, I haven't been able to charge his phone, take him for a walk around the village, or even bring the children to meet him. This has naturally made him suspicious. Most importantly, he wants to go down the mountain to the hospital."

"Wouldn't the fact that the roads are blocked be enough to trap him?"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help asking.

Yan Shu shook his head. "According to Zhao Jun, the People's Republic of China a thousand years from now will have a powerful technological level. They have mobile machinery and can easily flatten a mountain, let alone a mudslide and a road. So I can only tell him that the road is indeed cleared, but there is still a risk of collapse, so I won't let him go down the mountain."

"Will I be exposed before his blindness is healed?"

Zhao Zhen frowned.

Being exposed was not a good thing, because even if they asked every day, they still got very little information from Zhao Jun.

The main reason is that they are afraid of being exposed and are not comfortable asking questions directly.

So every time you want to get an answer, you have to guide.

For example, the matter of the three redundancies was brought up by Yan Shu as a test of whether Zhao Jun was familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty.

The matter of Lu Yijian was raised by Fan Zhongyan as a "fan of Fan Zhongyan" to express his dissatisfaction with Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan's political enemy.

What they wanted was Zhao Jun's full confession.

Once Zhao Jun knew that he had traveled to the Song Dynasty, what if he had ulterior motives and deliberately concealed or lied about something?

Therefore, we must ask now while we can, rather than waiting until Zhao Jun regains his sight.

In that case, the initiative will not be in their hands, but in Zhao Jun's hands.

If it is exposed now, perhaps we can use intimidation to force Zhao Jun to speak.

However, coercion is the worst method. After all, no one wants to be controlled and used as a tool to only reveal information.

If Zhao Jun was holding a grudge, even if nine of the stories were true and one was false, mixed with a tiny bit of false information, it would be fatal enough.

Therefore, they needed to obtain the most authentic information from Zhao Jun. The period when Zhao Jun was blind was the only time they could be sure that everything he said was true.

Yan Shu pondered and said, "I think we may need to use other methods to conceal this."

"What method?"

Zhao Zhen asked.

Yan Shu said, "Let's create a Nini Village."
