Chapter 22 Demolition
The hover car is a product created by humans after overcoming gravity.
It is a node towards a new era of creating a new civilization and future exploration of space.
An ordinary hover car costs tens of millions, while the supersonic explosion-proof hover cars used by the federal government cost hundreds of millions. Only the super-rich can afford to own one.
The journey that would normally take several hours by an ordinary car now took the hover taxi just over ten minutes to reach the top of this nameless village.
“It stops right there.”
Ling Ran pointed to the entrance of the village and the small square where many people gathered and said, "Just looking at the prices on the price list that kept jumping up and down, my heart was trembling."
It is dozens of times more expensive than an ordinary taxi, more than 4,000 yuan!
It is true that she is rich now because of Mo Wen, but she only realized it belatedly after she got on the car.
Mo Wen asked the old man what he gave him, and he hadn’t withdrawn it yet.
"Linglong, help me cushion it first, I'll give it to you later."
After the hover taxi slowly descended and stopped steadily, Ling Ran blinked at Wu Linglong awkwardly.
"Master, swipe the card."
"Xiao Ran, wait for me!"
Wu Linglong gave Ling Ran a cold look and then took out her bank card, only to see that Ling Ran had already opened the door and ran out.
The mountain village is particularly lively today. All the villagers, whether they should be working or employed outside, have returned.
Some of them ran back directly from the fields with hoes in their hands, while others were disturbed from their sleep and ran out with their bare chests.
They were all standing in the square. The square dance equipment that originally belonged to the aunties was also requisitioned by the village. The village chief was holding a microphone and shouting loudly.
“We should unite!”
"They are demolishing our house by force, which is illegal. We must protect our home!"
Just these two sentences were quite morale-boosting, and Ling Ran couldn't help but want to rush in and fight violence with violence.
"grandmother."
"I'm Xiaoran, where are you?"
Ling Ran squeezed into the crowd and shouted.
However, her tiny voice was instantly drowned out by the sounds of the loudspeaker and various machines in the village.
“Boom!”
Several giant excavators were working at the same time in the village, and the sound of houses collapsing was accompanied by dust.
The villagers suddenly became uneasy again.
"Damn Wang Lun, he's trying to cut off our retreat!"
"If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have let him in for inspection!"
"Go in, go in and drive them out!"
After the first one, there was the second one. In an instant, except for the elderly, the sick, the disabled, women and children, everyone wearing a suit or an apron ran towards the village angrily.
After the crowd was evacuated, Ling Ran stood in the square and looked around anxiously, but still could not find any trace of his grandmother.
"Grandma Wang, have you seen my grandma?"
Although Ling Ran didn't know most of the people in the village, he happened to see his neighbor next door.
"Xiao Ran, you're back."
"Go and persuade Wang Xiaoming to beg his uncle. This is our root!"
Granny Wang's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed Ling Ran's wrist and begged.
"Grandma Wang, have you seen my grandma?"
Ling Ran's irritability suddenly resurfaced, and he lifted up Grandma Wang's old, skinny hand without leaving a trace, and asked again.
"No, I didn't see it."
Seeing this, Grandma Wang's attitude was no longer so attentive. She shook her head and sat down again.
"Xiao Ran, let's go in and look for her."
Wu Linglong, who had already run over, reminded.
"OK."
Ling Ran responded and walked against the dust.
"It's all her fault."
"If she hadn't rejected Wang Xiaoming, our house wouldn't have been forcibly demolished."
"Look at her noble attitude. She will have to get married in the future. She might as well marry Wang Xiaoming to save our village."
For a while, there was constant discussion in the square.
These village women were not familiar with Ling Ran. They only knew that a new family had moved in over the past ten years and that the woman in the family was pretty, attracting the pursuit of the nephew of a city developer.
Perhaps this is why the reason for the forced demolition was so naturally imposed on Ling Ran.
"Xiao Ran, it is true that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people."
Of course, the discussions reached the ears of Ling Ran and the other person who had not yet walked far, and Wu Linglong could not help but complain.
Ling Ran shook his head slightly and said nothing.
She was definitely feeling bad, but she couldn't care less about other people's drunkenness. She just became more determined to move out with her grandmother.
At this time, the small mountain village had lost its former silence and tranquility, and dust was flying everywhere.
The demolition team wearing safety helmets shuttled through the village and checked every place.
Ling Ran's heart was also exceptionally calm until he reached the door of his home.
“Get out of the way!”
At a glance, he saw more than a dozen men in suits surrounding the door. Ling Ran frowned and scolded coldly.
Perhaps because of the coldness from Ling Ran, the men in suits actually made way for him. After Ling Ran angrily closed the gate, they made the phone call.
"grandmother!"
Finally seeing grandma, Ling Ran ran over and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Why are you back?"
Grandma patted Ling Ran's back lovingly and asked gently.
"I'll come back to see you."
Ling Ran's voice was a little sobbing. Fortunately, grandma was fine, otherwise she would really go crazy.
"With Mo Wen here, what are you worried about?"
The grandparents and grandchildren have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. Grandma knew Ling Ran's little thoughts very well, so she smiled with pursed lips.
Only then did they notice Mo Wen, who had just walked out of the room carrying a lot of bags.
The two were both stunned after looking at each other.
"Your phone call is unreachable."
Ling Ran wiped the tears from his face carelessly, pretending to be strong stubbornly.
"Hmm? No signal."
Putting down the gift, Mo Wen took out his cell phone and looked at it with a frown.
"I left the café this morning and was about to take my grandma to live in Beijing. I encountered this terrible thing right after I came back."
Mo Wen blinked at Ling Ran and explained.
The latter understood.
Obviously Mo Wen also heard Wu Yanyan's threatening words and came back first, but he just didn't want to say it in front of his grandmother.
Ling Ran couldn't help but feel moved again.
Ten years after independence, we are finally protected again.
"Take Linglong and grandma in and sit down. I'll clean it up quickly."
Mo Wen said again.
Ling Ran did not refute Mo Wen's attitude towards this place as his master. He nodded, held Wu Linglong's hand with one hand, and walked towards the living room with his grandmother's other hand obediently.
"Bang!"
But things don't always go as planned. The wooden door of the courtyard was kicked open, and more than a dozen men in black who had been surrounding the door broke in.
Mo Wen took a step back and said without turning his head, "You go in, I'm here."
"Um."
"Xiao Mo, you better be careful."
"Mo Wen, if you can't take it anymore, just shout, my brother will be here soon."
Ling Ran and the other two spoke one after another.
