The rally officially began early the next morning.
As the outer gate of Mingjia Village opened, a burst of firecrackers rang out, and the performance troupe that had been waiting outside the village for a long time was the first to enter Mingjia Village, followed by various merchants.
The people who are going to the fair haven't arrived yet; these staff members are the ones making preparations first.
In fact, only Mingjia Village would have such a situation, because in other places, people would hope that such a gathering would happen in their own village. Although it may only last for a short period of time, it can generate a lot of income for the villagers in just a few days.
If these performance troupes were to come, the village would definitely give them a warm welcome.
They certainly wouldn't leave the performance team waiting outside.
How arrogant must one be to do something like this?
But Mingjia Village is different. With Ming Xiang's help, Mingjia Village is now a village that everyone in the city praises. In addition, there is such an old clan chief, and the village is a clan-based village. All these factors combined have made the people of Mingjia Village very arrogant.
They have a deep-seated disdain for others.
Naturally, even those who come to generate income for the village and make the villagers of Mingjia Village richer are looked down upon. Every year at this time, performance troupes and vendors can only gather in the middle of the night.
After 8 or 9 a.m., when it gets light, the number of tourists will increase.
By that time, the performance team and others were already exhausted.
The first day is often a terrible experience.
However, since there will be many tourists coming to Mingjia Village, and it's pretty much the same every year, everyone is used to it.
I came here on the first day just to join in the fun.
Or perhaps it's a chance for attractive young people to meet potential partners.
All these things combined actually made Mingjia Village even more lively than less so.
The old clan chief was always very proud at this time of year.
It's as if all of this is his achievement.
In fact, if Mingxiang hadn't created enough value for this place, there would probably be very few people coming here.
Especially in clan villages, the people there tend to have very eccentric personalities.
These people adhere to rules that seem very strange to outsiders, and these rules cannot be violated.
If it weren't for Ming Xiang, who would be interested in this place?
The old clan chief looked at the crowd of people coming and going with great pride.
However, the old clan chief makes some changes every year around this time.
The security guards he hired no longer needed to carry swords and look strange like before.
Everyone felt a little more comfortable then.
The old clan chief then looked at the security captain beside him and asked, "Have the meditation team arrived?"
After what happened last time, the security captain actually had a very good impression of Lu Zheng. If it weren't for the decent treatment in Mingjia Village, he wouldn't want to work for this old man anymore.
He felt that someone like Lu Zheng deserved to succeed.
The security captain was a little annoyed when the old village chief asked that question.
He said, "Boss, it's only a little past four in the morning. How could Lu Zheng and the others come so early?"
He felt it necessary to subtly remind Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang that this was a trap set for them.
But you absolutely mustn't let the old patriarch know what you're thinking, otherwise that old guy will definitely go berserk.
The old patriarch frowned: "Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang are really useless dogs. What time is it? Why are they still sleeping? Aren't they coming over?"
Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang were not here.
Even these few security guards wanted to curse at the old clan chief after hearing his words.
No, normally this old clan chief sleeps until midnight every day.
Around this time every year, he would get up early once, as if he were some kind of...
Although Mingxiang and Lu Zheng are not up at this time, they arrive at the research lab at eight o'clock every morning, which is known to anyone who goes online.
What right does he have to call those two people useless?
The security captain is the one who earns his salary; otherwise, I would really stay far away from him to avoid feeling annoyed.
The old clan chief turned to look at the security captain, noticing his somewhat stiff expression, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think it's wrong of me to talk about Lu Zheng like that?"
Before the security captain could speak, the old clan chief said, "Think carefully before you speak, or I'll deduct your salary."
The security captain was helpless against this madman and could only say, "Elder Chief, you're right. Lu Zheng and his gang are lazy, greedy, cunning, idle idiots, good-for-nothings!"
Although he said that, he was actually making a veiled criticism.
The old patriarch didn't realize what he was getting at. He heard what he wanted to hear and felt extremely pleased. He laughed and said, "That's right. Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang are both good-for-nothings."
In a good mood, he said with a smile, "Let's go for a walk around, and while we're at it, let's go to the village entrance to welcome Mingxiang and the others."
...
At this moment, Xu Yue and Xia Ruo also arrived.
However, Zhou Heng and his son did not appear.
Xu Yue had a headache.
She racked her brains trying to get Zhou Heng and his son to come to her, but after waiting and waiting, they never came.
It was as if they were deliberately trying to whet her appetite.
Although Xia Ruo didn't say it outright, it was clear that she was starting to get a little impatient.
It's because he still deeply loves Xu Yue; otherwise, he might have turned against her directly.
She needs to get Zhou Heng and his son to come find them as soon as possible.
It's called an alliance, but it can't just be an alliance between a useless Jiang Li'er and a Li Gu who is currently lying low.
Jiang Li'er is already ruined.
Once Zhou Mobei entered the prison cell, all she could do now was keep making things difficult for Lu Zheng and distracting him. That was all she could do.
For Xu Yue, Jiang Lier was not an ally, but simply a tool.
The same principle applies to Xia Ruo.
So if Zhou Heng and his son don't take action soon, she'll have no choice but to go find them herself.
Won't her status and position be devalued then?
If that old fox Zhou Heng senses that she's getting restless, won't he demand an exorbitant price?
This is the last thing this woman wants to see right now.
While she was lost in thought, Xia Ruo suddenly asked her, "Is that Li Gu over there?"
When Xia Ruo asked her that question, Xu Yue snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction he was pointing. She saw someone in the distance looking in their direction as well.
Xia Ruo had seen Li Gu's photo, but they hadn't actually met yet.
So he pointed in Li Gu's direction.
Xu Yue looked up and saw that Li Gu was also looking at them, and he was smiling.
Xu Yue was extremely agitated and upset. How could Li Gu still be laughing?
He didn't even handle things properly, did he?
