This task has come to a conclusion. I called Teacher He and told him the basic situation. This was actually to reassure him. If I really followed the procedure, I could leave directly after finishing the work, and let Qi Nan and Tiandao League receive the final payment. Teacher He also asked about my future plans on the phone. I directly explained my intention. I definitely want a university diploma. I will take every exam, and I have confidence in passing. Anyway, I have completed the four-year university courses by self-study. As long as the teacher does not deduct all my usual scores, there will be no big problem in passing. As for classes... I am now entangled with a lot of things and really have no time to continue classes.
After listening to what I said, Mr. He sighed, but he didn't really make it difficult for me. He just said that my industry was too dangerous, and I had to work with my head on my belt, so I had to be more careful in the future. As for the school, he told me not to worry, and he would help me greet the teachers of various subjects, and he would give me some special care for signing in. At least I would get full attendance and regular points, which touched me.
After that, I had a meal with Zhang Bowen and others and went home to sleep. Around noon, Ding Nan called me and said that the task money from the Tiandao League had been transferred, a total of 300,000. I asked her to distribute it according to the rules when my father was there, but Zhou Jing had to be counted. Now Zhou Jing is also one of our team members. After all, he has mastered the unique skills of Xiangmen, which is very useful!
Ding Nan agreed, and then she asked me to go to the office in the afternoon, saying that there was a new task. It really caught me off guard. I had a quick bite at noon and rushed to the office in the afternoon. Ding Nan had already prepared the task information and handed it to me directly.
This time the place where the incident happened was no longer in the original city, but also in Shanxi, in a place called Shigu Village in the Taihang Mountains. The location of this village is very, very remote. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is isolated from the world. It belongs to the poorest area in Shanxi. There are a total of 40 to 50 households in the village, less than 300 people, and it is a village that relies on the mountains and water for food. 60% of the people in the village are hunters, and the remaining 40% are farming in the mountains to make a living, so the commission for this task is very, very low, only 7,000 yuan in total.
Seven thousand is not much for me, nor for anyone in my team, but it is an astronomical figure for that small village. The seven thousand yuan was collected by the whole village. They were able to find the Tiandao League because they had a certain relationship with my father. This relationship probably started ten years ago.
Anyone who has been to Shanxi must know the Taihang Mountain Tunnel, which is currently the longest mountain tunnel in my country. This tunnel had problems when it was dug in 2005. At that time, the construction started under heavy rain, and the landslide formed a mudslide. Several railway workers were buried alive and died when they were dug out. This was not a big deal. It is impossible to complete such a large project without any accidents, especially when doing projects in high mountains like Taihang Mountains. Accidents are completely within the government's estimates, just like the Sichuan-Tibet Line back then. I am afraid that the number of deaths is uncountable. Otherwise, can that line be called the "death line"? But this is a livelihood project that will benefit future generations. Let alone the death of one or two people, even if millions of people die, we still have to carry out the task! However, what was unexpected was that the workers who died actually started to get excited and make trouble. Since their accident, workers have seen their ghosts more than once during tunnel construction. At the beginning, the engineering team did not take it seriously. Until one day, a worker saw the ghosts and did something disrespectful out of fear. He was beaten to death by the ghosts with stones in public. The government finally panicked and found my father. My father passed through Shigu Village in Taihang Mountain when he was carrying out that mission. He had a certain connection with that village. After he saw the village, he seemed to notice something wrong. Then he told the old village chief that if there were demons and monsters in the village in the future, he should find a place with a phone to make a call, and then left the phone number of Tiandao League to accept the mission. After the accident this time, the people in the village were at a loss. Later, an old man remembered the master who came to their village ten years ago, so he entrusted the mission to Tiandao League.
The story of Shigu Village probably started with the daughter of a villager half a month ago. This girl is a college student, the first college student in the entire Shigu Village since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The girl's name is Liu Wen, and she is studying at Shanxi University. Half a month ago, when the summer vacation was about to end, several female classmates went to her home to play with her. The mountains were barren and there were not many things to play with, so the girl took several classmates to play in the mountains. Now people in the city like this. They like to go to some undeveloped mountainous areas to play and collect the scenery of the primitive forest. Several girls even brought camping tents. Who knew that they came back that night after entering the mountains, and brought back a very strange person, saying that this person was picked up by them in the mountains when they were in trouble.
How strange is this person?
His face is hungry and yellow, and the clothes he wears are still the kind of buttoned clothes that people wore in the past!
However, Liu Wen's parents are also good people. They heard that this person lingered in the mountains for several days, so although they thought this person was weird, they took him in because they felt sorry for him.
This person just lived in Liu Wen's house. He didn't talk from the beginning, and he refused to go out during the day. He sent the food to his room and served it out without eating a single bite. Moreover, even dogs wouldn't eat the food served by this person! !
Liu Wen's mother felt strange, so she checked the food this person had eaten. This check was not a big deal, but she almost scared her to death! !
That rice... rice looked like rice, but it turned into powder when you pinched it!
It was obvious that all the essence in the rice was sucked away! !
There are many sayings about ghosts and gods in the mountains. Liu Wen's mother has heard that ghosts eat differently from people. Ghosts eat only the essence in the rice. The rice eaten by ghosts has lost its essence and is almost like a lump of earth. It basically breaks into pieces when you pinch it!
This statement is both right and wrong.
Not all ghosts eat essence when they eat, such as spirit ghosts. Spirit ghosts eat everything when they eat!
Knowing that the person their daughter brought back from the mountain was not a human, Liu Wen's parents panicked and said, "Why not find a fortune teller to come and see if it doesn't work?" Liu Wen's father said that was the only way, so he left home that day with some dry food and things, because there was a fairy in the neighboring village, and he went to the neighboring village to ask for the fairy.
As a result, Liu Wen's father left, and something happened that night.
Liu Wen, Liu Wen's classmates, and Liu Wen's mother all disappeared!!!
Not only did their family suffer, but many other families also suffered together!!!
There were as many as 20 or 30 women in the village who all disappeared at the same time. In all the families where the women disappeared, without exception, all the men died. After being harmed, the only survivor was an old woman, who had been bedridden for many years. This was the only person who survived in the family of the one who had the accident.
Later, according to the old woman, it seemed that a group of soldiers broke into her house that night. They were floating when they walked, and they didn't look like humans. The soldiers rushed into the house to catch the old woman's daughter-in-law. Her son fought desperately with a kitchen knife, but was killed. There were more than ten wounds on his body!
After such a disaster, the population of Shigu Village almost disappeared in an instant. This is a big case. The police rushed there the next day, but after investigating the clues for a long time, there was still no result. Now the local police are still collecting evidence. Of course, it is impossible for the police to admit that this is a supernatural event. However, the old village chief lives in the local area and does believe in the words of the old woman. So the villagers decided to take some money to ask the fairy to take a look. It happened that Liu Wen's father also brought back the fairy from the neighboring village. The fairy had some real skills. After taking a look at the local area, he said that it was indeed a dirty thing that was causing trouble, but the dirty thing was no longer in the village, but in the mountains outside the village!
Later, the fairy went into the mountain, and never came out again!!!
For a while, the people in Shigu Village panicked even more, and finally found me in desperation.
This is a general description of the mission. After listening to it, I fell into silence - it seems... this time it's not a dirty thing that's causing trouble. Dozens of people died at once, and thirty or forty living people were captured. Such a mission is extremely dangerous!
However, I still decided to go. The incident happened in Shanxi. It would be unreasonable for me, the guardian of the entire Shanxi, not to take action. So I made an appointment with Zhang Bowen to set off for Shigu Village early tomorrow morning!
