While Lu Feifei was taking the trouble to shuttle back and forth among the large houses, taking various photos, gesticulating, and having heated discussions with the construction company, the village party secretary, and the village chief.

Ye Zi walked to the corner of a house, chatted with a villager in Wenjia Village who was building a house, asked for directions, and walked toward Wenjia Village not far away.

A meter-wide path newly paved with blue stones spirals around the mountainside and extends toward the back of the mountain.

The weeds and trees on both sides of the path have been cleared away, exposing the yellow soil; the purpose of this is to prevent the arrival of midsummer soon and poisonous snakes lurking in the grass.

Soon, Ye Zi walked around the mountainside and saw a wide open area in front of him.

Looking to the north, there is a winding and gentle valley sandwiched between two mountains. In the valley, there are patches of paddy fields waiting for rice transplanting, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

And at the foot of the mountain opposite, many houses were built.

Between the houses, there are many fruit trees with flowers in full bloom.

Wenjia Village.

Ye Zi felt her heart beat a little faster.

On the yacht just now, she seemed to have accidentally asked Wen Rensheng, the village party secretary, about some situations in Wen Ye's family.

Both of his parents died, and he has been living with his grandmother these years, making a living by collecting scraps in the mountain city.

His parents used to be barefoot doctors, his grandfather was an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor passed down from his ancestors, and his grandmother was the daughter-in-law that his grandfather’s father bought from bandits before liberation.——

In these words, 'daughter-in-law bought from bandits' can't help but make Ye Zi think about it.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the villagers, Ye Zi saw the location of the village headquarters at a glance and walked towards the mountainside.

Soon we arrived in front of the village department.

The yard was wide open, and inside there were the sounds of chickens, ducks and geese, and an old lady scolding a puppy in dialect.

The unique mountain city accent is mixed with the undertone of Jinmen dialect.

This is a habit that has been embedded in the bones since childhood; even after decades, it has not faded away.

"no!"

Ye Zi suddenly lost interest in walking into the small courtyard, her heart was full of disappointment, and she blushed for her whims this time.

Just because Wen Ye's back looked like his brother who had been away from home for many years, he actually had such a ridiculous conjecture!

If this incident reaches the ears of those in the family, I will be treated as a joke and told about it for several years.

Ye Zi is a straightforward person.

Since she had already denied it in her heart, she turned around and left without any further hesitation.

Standing at a small hole in the courtyard wall, Wen Ye's grandma watched the girl walking away.

There was no excitement in his eyes.

Only decades have passed, and there is still no relief from the anger.

The three branches of the Ye family in southern Jiangsu,

Mingzhu, Suzhou, Jinling.

Mingzhu is mainly engaged in business, Jinling is engaged in the army and politics, Gusu Shoucheng is practicing martial arts, and is an underground force that protects the entire Ye family.

Once the tree fell and the hozens dispersed, the underground forces that protected them, in collusion with power and money, became their victims.

After watching for a while, Grandma Wen Ye left that place.

At this time, Ye Zi looked back at the gate and courtyard wall of Wenjia Village from a distance.

At this moment, she seemed to have the illusion of light and shadow changing.

It's like there are thousands of LED light-emitting diodes lined up in a large block, and the light color of one produces a subtle, almost difficult to detect luminosity change.

In a matter of seconds, light flashes by.

Ye Zi rubbed his eyes, knowing that he was too tired, and even a martial arts student couldn't endure this journey.

I sighed slightly in my heart and turned to leave.

——

That night, the village party secretary, village chief, and several clan elders of Wenjia Village entertained Lu Feifei and others at the village party secretary's house.

Because Zhao Changan did not come over to the scenic spot, Grandma Wen Ye also declined to have dinner at the village party secretary's house.

At the table, Lu Feifei was radiant and obviously very happy.

At the banquet, he took the initiative to increase investment and build the nursing home, Wen Ye's new house, and her small villa into a beautiful garden building connected together.

This decision immediately made everyone in Wenjia Village overjoyed.

In this era, it was still very rare to go out to work. Except for some bold and enterprising young people who were looking for a living in the mountain city, most of the other villagers in Wenjia Village were working at home.

Lu Feifei's investment has allowed these villagers to participate, and they can earn a lot of extra money every month by relying on their hard work.

Naturally, everyone is happy.

——

Taohua Lake Scenic Area.

Zhao Changan was awakened by a ringtone and saw that it was Shan Qiang's call, saying that she and Liu Yihui had arrived at the Shancheng Hotel and asked him to come over.

He knocked on Pei Xuezhe's door and asked him if he was interested. The answer he got was, 'I'll wait for Wenzhuo and the others to come back.'

Of course Zhao Changan had expected Pei Xuezhe's answer, but Zhao Changan's control was now in the hands of Pei Xuezhe and Xia Wenzhuo, so he had to lower his attitude towards Pei Xuezhe.

After a few words with Pei Xuezhe, Zhao Changan drove out of the scenic spot.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and by the time Daben entered the winding mountain road leading out of the scenic area, it was like entering the light night ahead of time.

The road was so empty and quiet that it even made Zhao Changan feel a little chilly.

Zhang Shun's shadow appeared in his mind again, and he even had the illusion from time to time that Zhang Shun was suddenly standing on the roadside in front, waving and smiling at him.

'Anzi, I'm here!'

Zhao Changan stopped his white car and lit a cigarette.

"Chirp chirp~"

"Tweet~"

"No valley, no valley~"

In the woods on both sides of the road, birds are returning to their nests, and the clear and melodious calls of various birds converge into one.

It makes this mountain road even more empty and quiet.

Zhao Changan stayed here for a long time until it got dark.

Then we set off back to Shancheng City.

——

April 4th, weekend.

Zhao Changan got up early at home, said goodbye to his parents, and left a lot of things to be distributed to his parents, Xia Changhai and his wife, Zhong Yuanqiang, and these people. Later, he and Liu Yihui went to the Shancheng Hotel to meet Shan Qiang in the dawn.

.

The two of them arrived at the lobby and sat at the bar next to them, reading newspapers.

Last night, Zhao Changan and Liu Yihui drank some red wine with Shan Qiang, so neither of them felt drunk.

Zhao Changan told Liu Yihui what he knew about Zhang Shun.

After listening, Liu Yihui couldn't help but sigh.

At the bar, Zhao Changan searched yesterday's Shancheng Morning News, but could not find any information about Zhang Shun.

He couldn't help but feel disappointed and heartbroken.

Zhao Changan remembered that in the future, there was a saying, 'A grain of ashes of the times that falls on a person is like a mountain.'

So in a big era, the death of a small person like Zhang Shun can be completely ignored in such a big era.

There won't even be a tiny bubble.

At around 7 o'clock, Shan Qiang and Shan Cai walked out of the elevator.
Chapter completed!
