Chapter 139 Zhaojia Village
"Moved to the east?" Qing Yanrou suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's in the resettlement area to the east. People from other villages originally lived there, but they didn't like the people from Zhaojia Village."
"Besides the children, all the other villagers in Zhaojia Village have contracted various illnesses, so they don't want to live with them anymore and have all moved away."
"Now only villagers from Zhaojia Village are left there."
The people in the special department had already investigated all this basic information clearly.
When I was investigating at that time, I felt that Zhaojia Village was very weird. This time, when I told them the results of the previous investigation, the more I talked, the more scared I felt.
"Have you ever been to Zhaojia Village in the mountains?"
"No, we can't get in."
"Um?"
Hearing their answers, Qing Yanrou couldn't help but frown. How could she not get in?
"Could it be a ghost wall?"
The Taoist disciple who came out to gain experience nearby asked in confusion.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, that's not the case. If it was just a ghost wall, there's no way the two of us couldn't get in, and there's no way we didn't know about it!"
The two people were very unhappy when they were questioned like this.
Although their cultivation is not high, they are not that incompetent.
"If it's not a ghost wall, then what else could it be——"
"Well, we'll find out what it is tomorrow."
Seeing that the Taoist disciple was increasingly disrespecting the special department, Taoist Master Jie Yun couldn't help but interrupt him in a deep voice.
It seems that they can't just practice Taoism, they also need to practice their emotional intelligence.
"Everyone's been riding in the car all day today. Let's go eat something and rest up before heading into the mountains tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work, staff members."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Then we will go down first and join you into the mountains tomorrow morning."
The two were surprised by Jie Yun's attitude. They didn't expect him to be so considerate, which really put their minds at ease.
After everyone else left the room, only Qing Yanrou, three others, and Bai Yi were left in the room.
"My dear Qing, what do you think?"
Xie Yun asked Qing Yanrou who was thinking beside him, wanting to hear her thoughts.
"I don't have an opinion yet, but we can go to the east of Yun Town tonight."
There was too little information available at the moment, so she really couldn't draw any conclusions.
However, there is indeed something wrong with the aura in the east of Zhaojia Village.
Too depressing and dark.
"I thought the same thing as you. The aura in the east is so strange, but when we first entered the town, not a single disciple noticed it. Sigh!"
Taoist Master Jie Yun couldn't help but sigh. He just wanted to see this group of people who came out to gain experience, so when he noticed that the aura over there was not right, he didn't give any warning.
But no one noticed it.
"Hey, Elder, you're being too decisive. I noticed something was wrong, and I even told my idol about it!"
Just as he was sighing, Zhang Linger said dissatisfiedly.
She discovered something was wrong as soon as she entered the town and immediately confirmed it with Qing Yanrou, which proved that her ability was still good enough.
She couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Haha, you're worthy of being from the Zhang family. Well, it's great that you can tell when something's wrong, but you can't be complacent."
It was rare for a junior to see such a thing. Taoist Master Jie Yun shook off his previous frustration and laughed heartily.
"Then let's go to the east tonight?"
Qing Yanrou looked at Taoist Jie Yun, whose face showed relief, and asked with a slight curl of her lips.
"Go! But let's go eat first."
The group just found a restaurant and had something to eat.
Soon, night fell.
After instructing the other disciples not to run around, Qing Yanrou, Chu Tingbai, Taoist Jie Yun and Zhang Linger headed towards the east side of the town.
Yun Town has developed well in recent years, and the town is particularly lively even on non-market days.
After dinner, people put the lounge chairs in front of their homes and lie on them comfortably, fanning themselves.
It is still a little cold in the north at this time, but Province X, located on the Tropic of Cancer, is about to enter summer.
But this kind of bustle was only limited to the town. As for the east side of the town, most of the lights had been turned off, and only a few still had lights on.
Looking at the particularly deserted resettlement housing area, the four of them walked slowly on the road.
There is not even a family with dogs or cats here, so it is very quiet.
Seeing that there was still a light on, everyone went forward and knocked on the door.
'Knock knock knock'
In this quiet night, the knock on the door seemed particularly abrupt.
For a long time, no one opened the door, and no sound came from inside.
Chu Tingbai couldn't help but knock on the door again.
'Knock knock knock'
"Who is it? Ahem...?"
This time, the voice of an old and hoarse old lady was finally heard from inside.
Then, with the sound of "squeaking" coming from the slippers and the ground, it seemed that the owner of the walk was extremely tired, and he walked over with his shoes dragging, feeling weak all over.
With a 'click' sound, the door opened.
The person who came was an old lady who looked to be over 80 years old, but Qing Yanrou and the others could tell from her bone age that she was just over 60 years old.
The old lady, who had just turned sixty but already looked like an eighty-year-old, met three young people and a middle-aged man who looked a little older but full of energy.
Her cloudy eyes moved between the four people, and then she asked in a hoarse and worn voice:
"What? What's going on?"
"Grandma, we want to ask you about—"
Before Zhang Linger could finish her words, Qing Yanrou pulled her arm and signaled her to shut up.
"Well, we're from the village committee, and we wanted to see if you need anything."
Zhang Linger reacted quickly and changed her words.
"Where did this liar come from? His accent is different, and he's pretending to be from the village committee."
The old lady was very alert and did not fall for it. Instead, she took out a broom from behind the door and was about to swing it at them.
"Old lady, don't get excited. We just want to understand why you were so reluctant to move out of Zhaojia Village before, but suddenly decided to move now. Why is that?"
Her vigilance was too high, so Qing Yanrou had to change her approach and asked directly.
Chu Tingbai took the broom from the old lady's hand, and now she could only hold on to the door and stare at them.
Her cloudy eyes couldn't help but shrink when she heard her talk about Zhaojia Village, and then she said viciously:
"We can move if we want to, and we can stay if we don't want to. It's none of your business. If you don't get out of here, I'll call for help!"
"you--"
Zhang Linger was so angry that she wanted to argue with her again, but was stopped by Qing Yanrou.
Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, she frowned and said in a cold voice:
"I hope you won't regret it when everyone in your village is completely wiped out."
