Chapter 061: The Dying Village Incident 3
As we approached our dying hometown, the empty car drove into a 2-minute tunnel. After leaving the tunnel, the scenery in front of us immediately became wider, as if we had entered a brand new world.
Surrounded by snowy mountains is a large area of flat land.
After continuing for a while, you can see the cemetery surrounded by low fences on both sides of the road. There are countless white tombstones arranged neatly, giving people a solemn and solemn feeling.
After walking a little further, two parking lots appeared on both sides of the road. Behind the parking lot are two cemetery gates, with the words "East Garden" and "West Garden" written on them.
Andy Lee slowed down the vehicle, released some metal nanorobots, and began to search.
Next to the two cemeteries is a classical building in Western China, which is the "Fengmu Hall" used for farewell ceremony. There you can see some people gathering in the square outside the building, probably the family members attending the farewell ceremony.
Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao did not stop and went directly to the hot spring hotel where they were preparing to stay.
The hotel reception desk checked in for the two of them was an old woman with silver hair and kind eyes.
"Are the young couple here to worship their relatives?" The old woman's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the wrinkles on her face were more effective in smiling.
"We two are colleagues!" Lee Andy solemnly corrected.
"Grandma, we are here to worship a friend!" Chen Chuyao also explained softly with a smile.
"Oh...oh!" The old woman looked like she suddenly realized her mind, "Look, you two are really compatible, it turns out they are not a pair!"
"I have booked two rooms, please help me confirm it!" Andy Lee immediately said, as if he wanted to avoid the old woman from continuing to get involved in this topic.
"Oh...oh..." The old woman looked at the front desk computer in a not very skillful way, and then said happily as if she had found something amazing: "I found it! It's the luxury suites 105 and 106!"
The old woman skillfully took out the door card and handed it to the two of them, and then said, "I'll find someone to help you move the gift to the room."
"Thank you!" Andy Lee expressed his gratitude and took the room card to go to the direction of the room with Chen Chuyao.
"By the way! Young man, how many days are you going to stay?" The old woman thought of something and immediately stopped the two of them and said, "It may start snowing tomorrow night. You have to plan your time. Otherwise, the snow will block the mountain and you will not be able to go back!"
Andy Lee nodded politely and said, "I understand, thank you!"
After the two arrived at the adjacent room, Andy Lee looked at the room card and said, "Which room Chu Yao wants to live in?"
"Are you 105!" Chen Chuyao was just right.
So, Andy Lee handed out the room card for Room 105 and said, "Chu Yao, take a break and let's go investigate!"
"Okay!" Chen Chuyao nodded with a smile.
"See you later!" said Andy Lee.
"See you later!" Chen Chuyao replied softly.
Then, the two entered their own room.
If you live alone, this suite is really a waste. It not only has a spacious living room and bedroom, but also a bathroom with a luxurious bathtub, but also an independent small courtyard from the room, where there is also an open-air small outdoor bath for two or three people to bathe together.
Chen Chuyao looked at the comfortable hot spring suite and couldn't help but think that it would be good to stay here for a few more days. She thought that if there was not a cemetery here, Miliu Township might have become a famous tourist resort.
If Chen Chuyao hadn't been preparing to start the investigation immediately, she really wanted to go to the hot springs beautifully now. Now she had to wait patiently until she finished her work before she could experience the hot springs here.
When he met Andy Lee, there was a middle-aged man in his 40s who was not tall but looked very strong.
The man is a staff member of the hot spring hotel and was hired by Andy Lee to act as a tour guide.
Because this is not an important festival for worship, it will snow again soon, and basically no one chooses to come to the village of Viagra for worship at this time.
Seeing that Andy Lee was generous, the staff put down their work and asked for leave from the boss, preparing to accompany Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao.
The two sides met, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then left the hotel together.
The temperature was very low at this time, and several people were preparing to walk, so Andy Lee and Chen Chuyao both wore thin cotton coats with self-heating function.
Middle-aged people don’t have such advanced cotton coats and heavy cotton coats and cotton hats, which makes them look different from the same season.
"You are with us, is it okay for the boss?" Chen Chuyao asked politely.
While leading the way in front, the middle-aged man responded: "There are no guests in the hotel recently. Everyone has nothing to do. Besides, the boss is my cousin and they are all relatives! It's okay, it's okay!"
Originally, there were not many residents in the village, and they were more or less related to relatives. Now, various relationships such as cemeteries are established, and various relationships such as villagers, clans, and employment have been mixed together to form a unique social relationship in the village.
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Andy Li and Chen Chuyao left the hot spring hotel and visited the village of Death.
The hot spring hotel and Fengmutang are located on the east and west of Miliu Township respectively. Further north is the living area of local residents in Miliu Township, including some small shops and restaurants.
Public service institutions such as schools, banks, hospitals, etc. are all located in Shuangcheng Town. If necessary, those who are dying in the country will drive there.
Because there is no school, there are basically no school-age children in the Miliu Township. Families with children who need to go to school either move to Shuangcheng Town to settle down or go to school in the form of boarding, and return to Miliu Township on weekends or holidays.
The living area is not big, so I took a walk around in a while. Except for a few small shops, I could see the boss and employees, and I could hardly see anyone else. According to the middle-aged man's explanation, people in the village either worked in a hot spring hotel or worked in a cemetery.
"Is there no hospital here?" Chen Chuyao asked: "If the villagers have some minor problems, do they also need to go to Shuangcheng Town for medical treatment?"
"We have a small clinic here, and there is also a doctor. He will help you with the diagnosis and treatment of everyone's minor problems!" replied the middle-aged man.
"Is the person you are talking about not a real doctor?" Chen Chuyao heard what the middle-aged man meant.
"Yes! Yongshun is a makeup artist in the cemetery. He studied medicine when he was in college. It seems that he has not graduated. After returning home, because he knows medical knowledge, he worked as a makeup artist in the cemetery and did plastic surgery on the corpse. Usually, if anyone has a headache or fever, he would ask him to help him. Over time, he simply prepared some medicine, acupuncture, etc., and set up a small clinic."
"In other words, the other party does not have the qualifications to practice medicine!" Lee Andy said in a summary.
"But Yongshun is still quite awesome. He can solve most of the minor problems except for some acute and serious diseases."
"I think there are very few young people here!" Chen Chuyao said.
"Yes! Young people like to go to Xindu Development, and the worst is to go to the town. All we are left behind are old guys, ah...haha!" said the middle-aged man mockingly.
Chen Chuyao couldn't help but wonder, what kind of cases will happen in such a place that is indifferent to the world? Could it be that someone covets the Energy Research Institute and is ready to take action?
"The villagers get along well with each other!" Chen Chuyao asked tentatively.
"Since the cemetery was built, everyone has a living to do. They live a good life and are busy with their own things, and there is no conflict!" The middle-aged man introduced: "Our village chief is also the manager of the cemetery now. He has a prestigious presence here. Everyone will deal with anything they have."
Although Miliu Township is called a township, the number of residents is actually not as large as that of a larger village. Therefore, the original management of these local residents was Zheng Yongzhen, the village chief of Miliu Township.
"Are you here to worship your loved ones?" asked the middle-aged man.
"I'm here to worship a friend," Lee Andy explained.
"Oh! That's right! Many people in our hotel come to worship their relatives and soak in the hot springs for two days, usually on weekends." The middle-aged man continued, "There are also people who come here specifically to soak in the hot springs, but not many. Are you planning to stay here for two days?"
"Yes!" Andy Lee replied simply.
"The hot springs here are really good, and they are very good for the body!" The middle-aged man praised the hot springs in Miliu Township. "The water we usually use is also the hot spring water brought from the mountains, and everyone is in good health! Look at the front desk boss, he is 89 years old this year, and he is still very energetic every day."
"Don't you mind the work in the cemetery?" Chen Chuyao asked.
"At first, I was a little resistant, after all, I dealt with dead people. But the salary was very high, and later everyone got used to it. They all said that this is a job of accumulating virtue." The middle-aged man said with a wry smile: "But I still don't dare to do such work, so I helped in the hot spring hotel, ah...haha!"
"As you said, the days of dying in the hometown are quite peaceful and there is no dispute." Chen Chuyao continued to tentatively say.
"It's not only peaceful, but also boring. It's boring at a glance! So I can't keep young people!" Middle-aged continued to sigh.
Chen Chuyao nodded, thinking that sometimes comfort, peace, boredom and boredom seem to be just a thought, all depends on your state of mind.
"Will someone have appeared here recently or something strange has happened?" Andy Lee asked bluntly.
"It seems nothing is wrong..." The middle-aged man put on a hard-working expression.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "By the way! Recently, the guards of the cemetery once said that they seemed to see someone entering and leaving the cemetery late at night, but they never caught anyone. You have seen the fence of the cemetery, so it is not difficult to enter and exit. Some people say that they were sleepy at night and some people said that they came to worship. Because nothing happened, they slowly ended up in the cemetery. Anyway, there was nothing but dead people in the cemetery!"
Andy Lee said disapprovingly: "There was a case of stealing the dead man's body to ask for ransom from his family..."
