Chapter 62
◎Tang went down the mountain at the age of three◎
Chapter 62
Looking at the registration form in her hand, the senior student carefully thought about the content and found that there was nothing complicated. Apart from the necessary mobile phone number and identity registration, everything related to her own privacy was ignored.
But the most important point is that the question that the village cadre just asked was not forgotten.
Her purpose for going up the mountain.
She had only one purpose in going up the mountain, which was to find a better and safer escape route for her family.
The government might be able to provide such an option, but if she really wants to go, there will be many restrictions. She is the only daughter in her family. If something happens to her, her father and her child will have no protection.
Even though the country is still under control and someone will subsidize her family after something happens to her, they will ultimately have no one to rely on.
This was something she didn't want to see, so she was looking for another possibility.
A possibility that can improve her abilities and allow her family to live safely.
Seeing that the villagers on the mountain did not choose to go down the mountain, and that the mayor of the town personally led people up the mountain to clear a path, just to be able to have closer contact with the people on the mountain, she thought that she might have a goal.
In order to reach the mountain, she had arranged everything at home in advance.
Knowing that she had special abilities, she went to find mushroom farmers and selected a number of mushrooms from their greenhouses that were considered poisonous by others but were opportunities in her eyes.
The farmers all knew that the government was not allowing them to sell those mushrooms, so it was hard to find someone who came to their door specifically to buy them. Even though they knew there was something wrong with their mushrooms, some of them still informed them in advance and explained the situation. The senior student still wanted to buy them and gave them to her.
They dare not sell it. If something really happens, they will all be in trouble.
But people said that the mushrooms were useful and could help destroy them, so they gave them away.
She has very good abilities.
Although the road up the mountain was very rugged, because the people who had climbed the mountain before had cleared the road once, and the traces were obviously different from the surrounding environment, she found her way up the mountain very smoothly, and there was no problem of getting lost halfway.
When she encountered some plants that liked to block the road but would not harm people's lives, she was able to pass through them smoothly with her own ability and walked from the foot of the mountain to Daxi Village on the mountain.
The fact that she could come up from such a long distance down the mountain at this time shows that she has many more thoughts than the average person.
"So you came up the mountain just to ask if we can let people live in Daxi Village?"
Looking at the last column filled in on the paper in his hand, Tang Rufeng raised his head and looked at the woman opposite him with a serious look.
"Well, the mountain is not peaceful at the foot, but after I went up the mountain and entered Daxi Village, I found that the people in your village are living quite well, so I wanted to ask if I could live up here."
The people of Daxi Village did not have the slightest bit of depression and worry that the people living down the mountain unconsciously had in their brows.
Although she knew that it was impossible for her to live in someone else's village just by saying it without any evidence, the visitor form asked her to fill in her purpose, and she didn't think of hiding it, so she just filled it out.
"That's impossible. You people down the mountain should have heard about the situation in Daxi Village. Why do you think we'll let you live here once you come up the mountain?"
Tang Rufeng did not leave any room for negotiation with the other party and flatly refused.
The situation in Daxi Village is different from that in other villages. Because of the existence of the godmother, Daxi Village has always been the most unique among the surrounding villages.
This is how it was done before, not to mention after the mutation.
The existence of the godmother can be made known to outsiders because in today's world, not everyone can touch the godmother.
The people in their village are now able to protect their godmother, and their godmother is also the protector of Daxi Village.
The people living at the foot of the mountain have never had any contact with the villagers on the mountain. They just think that the mountain is good and safe, so they want to come up. This is too idealistic.
Tang Tang was listening to the conversation between Tang Rufeng and his senior student, and closed his mouth which was about to open.
No matter how much she admired this senior during her student days, all she saw from the beginning to the end was her excellence that she showed to the world. They had little contact in private, let alone knowing what kind of personality she had.
Tang Tang knew the peculiarity of Daxi Village, and knew what his godmother meant to the villagers. So, he had the same idea as the villagers, and was wary of outsiders who wanted to contact the village, fearing that outsiders would cause harm to his godmother because of their carelessness.
Protecting godmother is no longer just a priority for the elderly in the village.
Nowadays, this is also the focus of the younger generation in the village.
In the past few decades, it was the older generation of the village who guarded it. As the times progressed and time passed, perhaps because of the influence of materialistic education from the outside world, the people of Daxi Village would have given up Yinghuai because of generation after generation of contact with the outside world, letting Yinghuai and Daxi Village become a thing of the past.
But the world began to change strangely, and the whole world was developing in a fantasy direction. This made Ying Huai stand out in this world, and his figure once again stood firmly in the hearts of the younger generation in Daxi Village.
So even though Tang Rufeng had been doing official work at the foot of the mountain before and was on the positive path of saving people every day, when faced with Ying Huai's matter, his first reaction was to abandon his past persistence and refuse immediately.
"I know it's going to be hard to live in the mountains, so I'm not thinking about going up there just yet. I'm just curious about the mountains and want to take a look."
Hearing the rejection, the senior student didn't react much.
This was within her expectations.
From the moment she went up the mountain and entered the village, she left behind all the possibilities she had thought of at the foot of the mountain.
She also knew that the mayor at the foot of the mountain had issued orders that failed to get the people of Daxi Village to obey, so it would definitely not work if she just went up the mountain and talked.
She just wanted to give it a try. After all, at this time, if Daxi Village has a solid foundation, it will definitely develop in the future, and she will be a good development planner.
She doesn't think too highly of herself, but the results of her hard work over the years give her confidence.
Although her company experienced a period of downturn after the incident, she was able to minimize the losses by quickly shifting her career focus and temporarily shutting down some businesses.
As long as she finds the right direction, her future will be far from over.
"That's okay. You can let Tangtang take you for a walk around the village."
After hearing her words, Tang Rufeng realized that the other party understood what he meant and put the idea aside for the time being. He did not make things difficult for her. He turned to look at Tang Tang and asked Tang Tang to take everyone out for a walk.
After hearing Tang Rufeng's instructions, Tang Tang stood up. Knowing that Tang Rufeng agreed to let her walk around the village, it meant that he had initially let down his guard against her. She happily took her out.
"Senior, you've never been to the mountains before, right? I'll take you for a walk in the village. In the afternoon, our villagers are going down the mountain. If you want to go down, I'll follow you. Just walk behind them. There will be people leading the way ahead, so it will be so easy..."
Listening to the chattering outside, Tang Rufeng was speechless.
Tangtang had no intention of hiding his little thoughts at all.
It's true that he liked to admire him, but it's also true that when he heard that he was planning to bring his family to live in the mountains, he hurriedly wanted to drive him down the mountain.
"Tangtang is quite entertaining. Don't worry about her. I saw her senior didn't react much when she spoke. She obviously saw her personality and didn't mean to make a fuss."
Captain Qingzhi saw Tang Rufeng's speechless look, chuckled and walked behind Tang Rufeng, lowered his head to look at the new news on the other's computer, and comforted Tang Rufeng.
"I know. It's because I knew Tangtang had no bad intentions, and because they both knew me, that's why I let Tangtang follow me."
Tang Rufeng turned to look at his captain, put away his speechless expression, smiled and shook his head, feeling comforted by the other party.
"I've felt my abilities growing stronger lately. Have you noticed anything special?"
After putting the visitor form in the drawer of his desk, Tang Rufeng seemed to remember something and turned to ask his captain.
"You've always known that you can communicate with the underworld and bring those who are obsessed with you back to the human world, right?"
After hearing Tang Rufeng's words, Captain Qingzhi lowered his head, looked at him, and said this softly.
This can be regarded as an indirect acknowledgement of Tang Rufeng's perception.
"So the feeling I had of Brother Fan's presence earlier wasn't just my illusion?"
Being recognized, Tang Rufeng was stunned for a moment before he said the following words.
"Well, wasn't I in the same state when I first appeared in front of you?"
Captain Qingzhi nodded and recalled his initial state with Tang Rufeng.
At the beginning, when Tang Rufeng's ability was not strong and the ghost energy on his body was not strong enough, the ghost that appeared around Tang Rufeng was transparent and could not be touched by anything. Even the time of appearance was limited, let alone speaking.
If people don't pay attention, they will think it is an illusion.
Now the Brother Fan that Tang Rufeng mentioned is in the same state.
In fact, Brother Fan could have appeared before, but because his ghost power was not strong, he would only be a ball even if he appeared. Captain Qingzhi was afraid that Tang Rufeng would feel uncomfortable after seeing him, so he did not let him appear. This is also one of the reasons why he only appeared in Tang Rufeng's life now.
"When I become stronger, will he be able to appear more often?"
Tang Rufeng got a clear answer and looked at his captain with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.
"Well, try your best, but don't hurt yourself."
Captain Qingzhi had no intention of objecting to Tang Rufeng's desire to improve his abilities. He just thought that as Tang Rufeng's abilities increased, the ghost energy around him would become stronger, which would also be harmful to him, so he gave him a reminder.
"I know, we still have our Huidou."
In response to the instructions, Tang Rufeng lowered his head, took the sleeping little mouse out of his pocket, and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.
The little mouse was hungry last night, so he got up and gnawed on snacks for half the night. Now he is sleeping soundly. Even though Tang Rufeng tossed him around like that, he is still sleeping soundly and doesn't seem to be awakened by the noise at all.
Looking at the little mouse being rubbed in Tang Rufeng's palm, Captain Qingzhi also had a smile on his face and reached out to poke the little mouse's armpits.
He also liked this little mouse with great talents.
But his love was a little too much. The ghostly aura on his fingertips was cold and poked the little mouse's armpits, which immediately woke up Huidou who was sleeping soundly with a sense of security.
Huidou opened his confused eyes and looked back at Captain Qing's smiling face. The whole mouse was speechless.
He turned over and jumped off Tang Rufeng, walked to the door in three or two steps, and crawled onto Luo Luo who was lying on the ground taking a nap. He buried himself in the fur on its neck and chose to continue sleeping.
It can't beat Captain Qing, and its own master won't stand on its side when it complains, so it's better for it to stay away.
The little mouse was thinking very clearly. He burrowed into the fur on its neck for a while and then fell into a sound sleep, leaving one little paw sticking out. One could guess with the naked eye how arrogantly he slept under the fur, with his legs spread out.
Just as Tang Tang had said to her senior sister before, when the team organized by the village to go down the mountain was ready to set off in the afternoon, she had already brought her senior sister, who had already finished lunch at her house, out early and waited at the place where the team was going to set off.
"Tangtang, I told you not to follow me, so why are you still following me?"
A brother in the team spoke with a smile.
"Yes, Tangtang, my child is only five years old. He won't follow adults around like you."
Tang Tang pulled her senior sister to the back of the team and listened to the brothers in the village teasing her, but she didn't get angry.
"I'm only three years old, so what's wrong with following me? And Brother Rufeng has agreed, so you can't not take me."
Tang Tang said this with a smug look on his face.
When she said in the morning that she wanted to send her senior sister down the mountain in the afternoon, Brother Rufeng didn't object, which meant he agreed.
If I move out now, I can just keep up.
When the brothers in the village heard that Tang Tang had brought up Tang Rufeng, they knew that Tang Rufeng must have agreed to this, so they no longer objected.
"Okay, Tang San Sui, you have to follow closely on the way. What if we get lost and Aunt Mei Zi gets in trouble with us?"
The brothers didn't object, but the verbal battle still had to happen.
"Don't worry, I will definitely follow you well. I have my protective shield to protect you~"
Being called Tang San Sui, Tang Tang smiled happily, pulling his senior sister along, and followed the brothers in the village down the mountain.
Everyone in the village knew that they were going down the mountain in the afternoon, so many people gathered at the entrance of the village to see them off.
Because this is the first time that the villagers of Daxi Village have gone down the mountain after the incident, they are inevitably more cautious.
Ying Huai watched the children walking down the mountain, then looked at Tang Tang who was following the entire team. His eyes fixed with some confusion.
"Is Tangtang's aura recovering a bit?"
Ying Huai looked a little confused.
I didn't notice it before, but now looking at Tang Tang's appearance, the other person's aura seems to be a little different from this morning.
The reason why he had such an obvious feeling was not only because Ying Huai himself was more sensitive to the perception of luck, but also because Tang Tang was looking at his phone under his tree in the morning and appeared again in the afternoon. In such a short period of time, changes had taken place in his body. The comparison between the two was extremely obvious.
[Mei Zi asked Tang Tang to stay at the foot of the mountain for a few days before coming up.]
Ying Huai turned his gaze to the senior student who was being held by Tang Tang, and then said this to Mei Zi.
Mei Zi was originally standing under a tree watching her son Tang Tang holding up a protective shield and following the group of people coming down the mountain from the village. Suddenly this thought popped up in her mind and she was a little confused. After she came to her senses, she picked up her phone without any hesitation and started calling Tang Tang.
Although the godmother just said this and did not explain in detail why she let Tangtang stay at the foot of the mountain for a few more days, she was very sure of one thing: the godmother would not harm the children of Daxi Village. She must have some ideas behind this.
Tang Tang, who was walking down the mountain, was stunned when he received a call from his mother.
"Mom, I just wanted to go down the mountain with the brothers in the village to take a look. Why are you kicking me out of the house like that?"
"Oh, no, that's not true. You're the one who said it. You're almost going moldy staying at home all day. I just wanted you to stay a few more days while you're down the mountain. Take a look around. Then when you come back up, you won't have to complain like that."
Ms. Mei Zi did not explain to Tang Tang that this was her godmother's intention, and changed the subject to Tang Tang's previous complaints.
There doesn't seem to be anything special on the mountain on weekdays, and the village has electricity and internet, but Tangtang is young after all, and she has spent a long time in the city before. If Mei Zi's mother hadn't insisted that she come back for a blind date, she would not have come back to the village this time.
She has been in the village for such a long time. Although she has been well fed and watered at home, she can still play with her mobile phone when she is bored. If that doesn't work, she can also play with the children in the village.
The only thing is that there is no takeout in the village, and the junk food from the town at the foot of the mountain cannot be delivered to the mountain.
Tangtang was getting tired of eating healthy food every day and began to crave the high technology and hard work down the mountain.
This time she insisted on following the brothers in the village down the mountain. In addition to wanting to go down the mountain to see the environment of the town at the foot of the mountain, she was also greedy.
"Okay, okay, I'll stay at the foot of the mountain for a few more days. Mom, you stay home. I'll bring you some delicious food when I get back."
When Tang Tang heard what Ms. Mei Zi said, he felt a little embarrassed.
As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw the brothers walking in front of her looking back at her from time to time with a teasing look in their eyes.
"Don't you guys want to go down the mountain and play too~"
Tang Tang looked at it and then she remembered that she had heard the call sound from the other party's mobile phone in the same way in Brother Rufeng's office before.
Even though she was walking on a mountain road and the surrounding environment was not quiet, she did not lower her voice and it was still at a normal volume. It was normal that it could be heard by the brothers around her who all had some abilities.
The remaining brothers who had no abilities looked at the people around them and wondered whether to laugh or not. After asking a few questions, they knew her situation.
"If Tangtang wants to stay at the foot of the mountain for a few days, you can stay at my house."
However, the senior student who was following Tang Tang did not laugh, but instead started to give Tang Tang some advice.
"Look, if you stay at a hotel down the mountain, the supplies there may not be clean. But at my house, at least everything is washed before being put away. It's not dirty, and you can feel comfortable living there."
The home that the senior student was talking about was not where she, her father and son lived now, but the house in town that her family had not yet rented out.
Because of this incident, many people who rented houses in the town to work went home to reunite with their families, which resulted in several houses in her family being vacant.
When Tang Tang moves in, at the very least, he has enough space to move around and doesn't feel cramped like in a small room.
"Senior sister is so nice, don't worry, I will pay your rent~"
Tang Tang turned around and looked at the senior with gratitude.
Although I didn't object to living at my senior's house, my meaning was still clear.
It's their kindness to invite you, but if she goes too far and refuses to pay anything for it, then she's uncultured.
After all, although the senior sister came up the mountain today in the name of looking for Tang Tang, they really didn’t spend much time together in private, and they weren’t as familiar with each other as if she was staying at someone else’s house for free.
If I have to say, Tang Tang is a fan of the senior.
Since he is the person he admires, Tang Tang doesn't want to let him suffer any loss.
The senior student understood what Tang Tang meant and nodded slightly without objection.
This mountain road had been cleared before, and my senior sister had walked on it when she went up the mountain before. Although she encountered some mutant plants that liked to block the road this time when she went down the mountain, she still got through it smoothly.
Those mutant plants that liked to block the road had the same idea as the special rescue team that cleared the road up the mountain before. They didn't hurt anyone anyway, they just liked to block people, and they didn't hurt those mutant plants either.
If they are mischievous little animals that like to play with people, push them aside. They will not be able to turn back for a while and will not continue to stop you.
It is also convenient to stop those people at the foot of the mountain who are unable to run up the mountain.
"There are people down there who want to go up the mountain just like me."
On the way down the mountain, after talking about the opinions and comments of some people at the foot of the mountain, the senior student said this.
She didn't intend to hide the purpose of her trip up the mountain, so not only Tang Tang and Tang Rufeng knew about it, but even the brothers in the village who went down the mountain with her knew something about it.
Hearing her words, the brothers all focused their attention on her to a greater or lesser extent.
"The government previously issued a decree for nearby villages to move into the town. Wasn't that for easier management and protection? Why are so many people thinking about moving up the mountain now?"
A brother asked doubtfully.
"Because there aren't many people engaged in agriculture in the town below the mountain, and there have been some unusual changes recently, there have been some problems with transportation. At first, it was fine, and the inventory in the town could withstand consumption. But over time, consumption couldn't keep up with the speed of supply, and then there was a stir."
The senior student said this, sharing what she knew with the people in Daxi Village.
"Also, recently, the entire world has been overrun by mutated plants and animals that have begun attacking people. Many people have posted videos online asking for help, but Daxi Village hasn't had any. Even in the villages further up the mountain, few have come forward to express their concerns."
As she spoke, the senior turned her attention to the group of people ahead who were clearing the way.
"Plus, the mayor brought people up the mountain to open this road specifically for you. Some of the knowledgeable and experienced people in the town have set their sights on the mountain."
It's just that she has the fastest execution ability and she is ahead of those people.
She didn't say the last sentence out loud, but not only her brothers, but even Tang Tang, who had a simple mind and didn't think much, could understand it.
"So what you're saying is that some people will definitely come up the mountain in the future, it just depends on how the town government arranges it?"
The brother walking in front listened to what the senior student behind him said and couldn't help but join in the conversation.
Because their physical fitness has been enhanced, even though the voices of their conversations were not loud and the team moving in front and behind was very long, chatting was no different from stopping and talking face to face.
"Well, that's for sure. Maybe people won't be allowed into Daxi Village, but it should be possible to establish another special residential area near Daxi Village."
