While the scenery is pleasant, it has brought a lot of inconvenience to the villagers.

Although in recent years, with the country's strong support for the project of providing electricity, roads and water to every village, life in Anping Village has become much better.

However, there are still many young people who want to escape and leave here, or even leave the entire Midwest area to go to more developed places.

In addition, many young and middle-aged people go out to work.

Empty-nest elderly and left-behind children inevitably became the main theme here.

"Boy, your lies are getting more and more outrageous now, aren't they?"

"You're still saying you're a liar, right? You're pretty good at it."

The handsome man smiled and gave the little boy in front of him a slap on the head.

The little boy, whose red scarf was worn crookedly, just pouted his lips and lowered his head without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Zihang shook his head helplessly.

The boy lies every day, but only to the person on the other end of the phone.

He knew all the lies he told, such as failing the exam and being beaten up.

but……

"This time it's the village party secretary who wants to demolish your house, right? The village party secretary is usually so nice, you don't take it to heart at all, right?"

Zhang Zihang scolded the boy who lowered his head in front of him.

"I didn't, it's just that I..."

As the boy spoke, his eyes turned red and he didn't continue.

"Missing daddy, right?"

Zhang Zihang continued what the boy had not finished saying.

"Teacher Zhang? How do you know that I..."

The boy's eyes widened in surprise, and before he could finish his words he stared at the back of Zhang Zihang in a daze.

A familiar large figure was walking towards him with his sleeves rolled up.

"Guawa, you can say anything now, right?"

The old father held the boy's ear kindly.

"Teacher Zhang, I will take him back and give him a good education."

The old father smiled politely.

Seeing this, Zhang Zihang nodded.

Naturally, he persuaded the boy's father to come back and take a look. After all, the village party secretary was demolishing the house, which was such a big deal, the boy's father would definitely call back to confirm it with his acquaintances.

Therefore, Zhang Zihang took the opportunity to help the little boy persuade his father, who had been working away from home for a long time, to come back.

Looking at the little boy who had begun to beg for mercy, Zhang Zihang felt deeply the deep friendship between father and son, and left with a satisfied smile on his face.

At a nearby intersection, a bearded foreign man stammered in Chinese with a slight accent: "According to the new term I recently learned, this scene is called loving father and filial son."

This is Zhang Zihang’s good friend, Owens.

He is a person who, like him, seems out of place in this mountain village.

Zhang Zihang is a talented scholar who has proposed many novel theories in the field of teacher education, and Owens is a billionaire who inherited his late father's fortune.

Now, these two people, one comes to this mountain village to teach, and the other comes to this mountain village to plant trees.

Gradually, as the only person who could speak fluent English in this remote mountain village, he and Owens became good friends.

"Owens, learning everything will only harm you." Zhang Zihang said with a smile, and then asked, "Aren't you going to plant trees today?"

Owens is usually planting trees at this point, so he won't come here.

After all, just like he gave up a bright future to come and teach, Owens is also a weirdo.

He usually spends most of his day planting trees in a small canyon specially set aside for his use. I heard that this is to protect some endangered birds that rely on these trees for survival.

"I found something very strange when I was planting trees today."

Owens said this with a mysterious expression on his face.

"From what you say, are you planning to drag me over to see that strange thing together?"

"I have a bunch of homework to grade, and you better not be bored."

Zhang Zihang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Owens, as if he was thinking about where to deliver a punch.

Owens looked serious and clearly wasn't joking.

"Are you serious? You didn't dig up antiques while planting trees, did you?"

Zhang Zihang opened his eyes wide, looking at Owens with a serious expression, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

It would be interesting to dig up antiques.

"I don't know, but it's really weird."

After Owens finished speaking, Zhang Zihang couldn't help but be intrigued by his mysterious look.

When the two of them came to Owens' house on a small hill, Zhang Zihang couldn't help but be shocked by the ancient jade in front of him.

Owens placed the palm-sized ancient jade on the table.

There is no special story about the jade itself, and it does not look like a precious variety, like the variety found in the jade mine nearly a hundred miles away from Anqing Village.

But there was a sun pattern and a string of unfamiliar characters on the jade.

Looking at this string of characters, Zhang Zihang suddenly understood why Owens was so shocked.

[Yong Zhou sealed the monster here in the first year of Xuande]

Strange and unfamiliar characters, but he could somehow understand what was written on them.

"You understand it too?"

Zhang Zihang looked at Owens beside him and swallowed subconsciously.

Owens responded with a tacit consent.

Seeing this, Zhang Zihang also fell silent.

An American and he, a Chinese, could both inexplicably understand a string of unfamiliar characters.

Obviously, there is something wrong with this character.

After a long silence, Zhang Zihang said, "If there really is a monster, then the seal on the jade is sealed at the place where you found the jade, or... sealed inside the jade?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zihang felt a little chilly.

He didn't know what Eternal Day was, nor what a monster looked like. He only knew that his worldview might be shaken.

"I called you here to confirm whether this was my hallucination. Now it seems that it is not."

Owens said this, his expression becoming serious.

"Should we first put the jade back where you found it? And then call the police?"

Zhang Zihang looked at Owens and suggested.

………………………………

Looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers in the mountainous area of ​​Shu, Mr. Chen couldn't help feeling refreshed.

This time he was not in a hurry to find the volunteer teachers and foreign gentlemen on the screened talent list, but strolled slowly in the mountains.

Ever since he had the salvation organization system, he felt like he had never had any free time.

Endless learning, running around to fight monsters, screening and recruiting talents for the organization, teaching and training these talents, fabricating the organization's remains to conceal the truth...

There were so many things going on that even this savior who was forced into the job couldn't help but feel a little tired.

It is a rare relaxation to take a look at this beautiful place with mountains and rivers.

However, although he wanted to relax, the system was obviously not going to give him a chance.

[Emergency Mission: Erosion Across the Timeline]

[Mission Description: The Abyss Will discovered that the cracks that were eroded were frequently erased, and began to try to erode the upstream of the timeline of this world. ]

[Task requirements: The system assists in crossing the timeline and suppresses the cracks that existed in the past. (Note: You need to be careful in your words and actions in the past timeline, and too much influence on time and space will be sent back to the current time and space)]

Looking at the task that suddenly popped up, Chen Sheng felt a darkness before his eyes.

The previous chapter was blocked. The general content was that the protagonist felt that the organization was currently short of people, so he screened a bunch of talents and was currently preparing to recruit some.

Then, officials from various countries became aware of the U.S. establishment of the Abnormal Countermeasures Bureau, and they were all confused.

(Currently applying for the ban to be lifted, it may not be lifted for a while)
