“Oh right, since we’re already here, and that village isn’t very far from here, do you want us to ask around and see if we need a local guide?”

“Let’s go. After we go in, we’ll see if the boss or someone else can find out anything.”

Under Xiao Zhou’s lead, the two of them walked across the road. After walking for about five to six minutes, they saw a small restaurant in this place. The lights were still on.

After entering, there were a few tables placed inside. At the table near the corner, a few people were sitting there eating and chatting. The two of them sat down near the door.

“What would you like to eat?”

Perhaps there weren’t many people, so when a customer arrived, the boss was more enthusiastic. He hurriedly walked forward, took out a menu, and placed it in front of him.

Xiao Zhou looked at the menu briefly before he ordered two dishes and two bowls of rice. He was satisfied as long as he could eat his fill. In this place, there was no need to be too particular about the conditions.

“You two don’t look like people from our town. Why are you here?”

“We’re going to a village in front of us. It’s already dark here, so we’ll stay here for the night. Well continue our journey tomorrow morning.”

“Village? Which village?”

“Oh, it’s Fengshui Town, Linshui Village.”

“Linshui Village? You said you were going to Linshui Village?”

“Yeah, why? Is there a problem?”

“That place is not easy to get to. How did you guys get here?”

“We drove here.”

“Then 1 advise you to find a place to park your car. That place is not accessible to traffic at all. Your car can’t drive there either.”

“That’s right, Boss. We were just about to ask. If we really want to enter Linshui Village, how long do we need to walk? Also, where do we need to walk from? Do we need to prepare anything in advance?”

“There’s no need to prepare. It’s just some mountain roads that need to be walked. The entire journey will take about an hour.”

“An hour? That’s good. It should be within our acceptable range.”

“Anyway, if you aren’t a local and didn’t climb the mountain often, I’m afraid you won’t even last an hour.”

“By the way, how are the mountain roads? Are they dangerous? Or is there anything else hidden?”

“Not really. The mountain road is a little steep and dangerous, more or less. Moreover, there are basically no more people in that village.”

“No more people? What do you mean?”ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovel(ꜰ)ɪre.nᴇt

“Who still lives in that village? Moreover, it’s so underdeveloped in all aspects. It’s said that there are often water and electricity cuts. That village has long been in the demolition plan, but it has been shelved for so many years. After all, the traffic conditions are not good. Even if an excavator goes there, it won’t be able to pass through.”

“Then, do you think there’s no one living in that village?”

“Why would there be people living there? In total, I estimate that there are only a handful of people living in the entire village. 1 suspect that there aren’t even 10 of them.”

“What? There aren’t even io people in a village?”

Xu Wenping had never experienced this before.

If that was really the case, why would Old Li choose to survive in this place?

He had been working in the city all his life. Normally, his income should be considered decent. At the very least, it should not be difficult for him to live in the city.

“That’s right. That’s why 1 found it strange when you said that we’re going to Linshui Village. No one has ever been to that place. The young people in the village have already come out long ago. Those who stay there are lonely old people who have no one to take care of them. They’re there to slowly spend the last moment of their lives.”

“Okay, I got it. Sorry to trouble you, Boss.”

After saying that, he greeted them. Finally, the boss went to the kitchen to get busy.

“Did you hear that?”

“I heard it. If there aren’t even io people in a village, then this village must be a ghost village.”

“So, I’m really interested in this place now. Also, as far as you know, how much did Old Li earn in school? Also, does he have a retirement salary?”

“The school has its own staff. Even after the demolition, these employees will definitely have some income. At the very least, it will be around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.”

“2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Although it’s not a lot, it’s more than enough for him to live alone in the city.”

“Yes, that’s the case, but why did he have to choose this place? Perhaps the elderly have a desire to reminisce and are willing to return to their roots? Perhaps, this is a very good choice for them.”

“I hope that’s the case. If that’s not the case, then it proves that Old Li is definitely trying to hide from something, and he really doesn’t want to continue living in that place.”

As the two of them spoke, the dishes were already served on the table. Then, the two of them wolfed down the food.

After a day, they were indeed a little hungry. Although the town was relatively remote and the food was very ordinary, for some reason, the food cooked by the boss was indeed very delicious.

After eating, they returned to the hotel. After washing up, they lay down and went to sleep.

Xu Wenping didn’t expect to sleep so soundly in such a simple environment. When he opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already bright.

He quickly got up, tidied up, opened the door, and knocked on the door of the room next door. At that moment, Xiao Zhou had already walked out.

“Have you already woken up?”

“Sigh, you don’t know. 1 have a habit. If I really change places, I won’t be able to sleep at all. So, 1 tossed and turned the whole night and couldn’t fall asleep.” “What is it? You didn’t sleep? I slept quite soundly last night. When I opened my eyes, the sky was already bright.”

“Maybe people are different. Let’s go. We still have to climb the mountain later.. Why don’t we leave our luggage at the hotel first and come back to collect our luggage when we arrive in town?”
