Chapter 35: The Waters of Yang County Are Deep



There is no need to say much about what happened next, it was similar to what Qin Jianye experienced.

However, the chef didn't realize it was human flesh. He just thought the taste was wrong and didn't dare to swallow it. He left with it in his mouth and vomited it in a corner.

"He came back and complained to us about the black market meat, saying it had a strong fishy smell. I don't know how anyone could swallow it.

Someone spread the word, and more and more people went to the black market. However, no one could find out what kind of meat was sold on the black market and where it came from.

Didn't I just say that the master chef has a relative who's a leader? During the Chinese New Year, he said that the county police station had received several reports of wives going into town and disappearing. They wanted the station to help find them.

The police checked but found nothing.

The situation got bigger and bigger, and finally the director came out and said: "What are you making such a fuss about? Do you believe I will arrest you all?

I don't know what life is like at home. Maybe they can't stand the hard life and run away from home.'

This is not entirely without reason. In the past two years, many young wives have indeed divorced and remarried because they could not bear the hardship.

There are also many bachelors who would exchange a few kilograms of grain for a beautiful young wife.

The villagers who reported the case didn't believe it. After all, he was fine before leaving home, so how could he just leave like that?

But the director threatened them that if they continued to make trouble, they would be given peanuts to eat. These people had no choice but to compromise and dared not speak out.

Although this matter is not insignificant, how could a small person like me get involved? If the master chef didn't have relatives in government, I wouldn't know about it.

Later, a rumor spread in the county that the black market meat was not legitimate. Of course, it only lasted a few days before being suppressed.

The chef thought it was not right, so he asked his relatives. But guess what, the thing turned out to be a human, just like us!

They're such beasts, they even eat their own kind. When the chef found out, he was so disgusted he didn't eat for over half a month and almost starved to death. It was only because we forced him to drink porridge every day that he was able to survive.

Qin Jianye was in a very heavy mood, as were Qin Siyue and Chen Yunwei.

"Are they selling living people?" Qin Jianye asked deliberately.

The waiter shook his head. "I don't know, that shouldn't be the case. If they were selling a living person, there would have been a commotion long ago. The chef said the meat was tough and woody, maybe it was a dug-up corpse."

But we can't rule out murder. After all, so many young wives disappeared without a trace. I don't believe they ran off with someone."

After talking for so long, even if I didn’t know Qin Jianye’s identity, I could probably guess his purpose: “I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.

When the master chef found out, he wanted to expose the black market and eliminate the harm to the people. However, even his relatives, such high-ranking officials as the commune secretary, were unable to do anything about it. For a small person like us, it is best to be prudent and protect ourselves.

This sentence contains elements of sincere advice, but of course, it also contains intentional provocation.

Although the waiter was timid, he really couldn't stand the chaotic atmosphere in Yang County.

If there was anyone who could really deal with those bastards in the black market, he wouldn't mind saying more.

Qin Jianye moved the knife away: "It's been several months, and no one else has reported it?"

The waiter pursed his lips, looking particularly struggling. Feeling the knife approaching his neck again, he quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes, but without exception, something went wrong."

Some were beaten to the point of having their legs broken, while others were killed. Even the chef was splashed with cold water, ran a fever, and had to stay in bed for over a month before recovering.

The master chef said that his condition was not so serious because of his relatives.

Brother, let me tell you the truth, the situation in Yang County is very complicated and it is not something that ordinary people like us can shake.

Let's forget about what happened today once we leave the house. If you want to call the police or something, I won't admit that I said these words!

Qin Jianye glanced at Qin Siyue, and Qin Siyue nodded, raised the recorder, and signaled to his father that the equipment was normal and everything was recording.

Qin Jianye looked at the waiter again: "Is the power of the person behind this so great?"

"Otherwise, do you think Yang County is really that difficult? In fact, the higher-ups have allocated relief grain since last summer.

But have you tasted it? Not to mention not having tasted it, you’ve probably never even heard of it!

Do you think relief food is the only thing? Actually, there is so much more!

The train station and post office were full of them. Although people were traveling north and south in Yang County, they were actually strictly checked.

If you don't have a clear reason to go out, you can't leave this place even if you have a letter of introduction.

Also, they will search packages, and if they dare to reveal anything unusual about Yang County, those people will kill them to silence them."

"Walking?"

"Brother, the outside world is in such chaos right now. Do you think that only people in Yang County are eating people? Besides, you have food. How far can you run with just a few melons and dates?

Besides, they've deployed people in every brigade, so you might be caught before you even get out, and then be braised and eaten as a snack."

Qin Jianye's hair stood on end when he thought of what his original family had experienced.

At that time, I just thought that the original body was unlucky, but now I think that it is very likely that I was treated as a sheep.

Qin Jianye asked some other questions before ending the "interrogation".

After hesitating for a moment, he still struck the man with a knife, knocking him unconscious. However, the force was not that strong, so he thought he would wake up soon.

Then he untied the ropes on the waiter's hands and feet and put them into the space.

As for the blindfold, I left it alone. It was everywhere, and it would be difficult to find him based on this clue.

Afterwards, he stuffed five dollars and two kilograms of food into the waiter's pocket as compensation and reward.

The three of them left the deserted house together, cleaning up any traces of their departure. They then hid in a dead end a few hundred meters away, staring at each other in bewilderment.

"What should we do next?" Chen Yunwei wanted to back out.

Qin Jianye didn't want to give up just like that: "It would be great if Wei Xu had left his contact information."

Even if you can't say it explicitly on the phone or in a letter, you can hint to him to come back and take the news away.

Unfortunately, I had just traveled through time and thought the boy was easy to please, so I didn’t think too much about it.

"Never mind, there's always a way."

Since God gave them the opportunity to travel through time and be reborn at this point in time, there must be a purpose behind it.

They can't just take advantage of the situation and do nothing.

Men who have experienced the end of the world pay more attention to cause and effect. They think that since they have the opportunity, they should make some contribution, otherwise their life will be in vain.

If Chen Yunwei knew what Qin Jianye was thinking, she would definitely give him two big slaps.

Then she poked him on the forehead and cursed, "Do you really think you're a Bodhisattva and can save everyone? If you have the guts, stop stealing the cookie box from the corner. You're such a hypocrite!"

Qin Jianye said that he really didn't have the ability. There was nothing he could do, because he was poor. Wang Ergou had given him the starting capital for his prosperous second half of life!

Of course, Chen Yunwei didn’t know Comrade Qin Jianye’s little tricks.

He hesitated for a moment, then took out the small silver pistol again and stuffed it into Qin Siyue's hand: "My daughter, can you protect your mother here? Dad will go to the black market to check it out!"
