Chapter 1847 Extra: Something Strange Happened in the Town
"Want to go on an adventure?" A Ling suddenly laughed: "Just washing clothes and cooking here is actually quite boring! It just so happens that the following four funny groups are also here, why not have some adventure activities?"
Shen Yuan chuckled: "Okay."
Indeed, the originally dull life became a lot more vivid in an instant because of the addition of four funny characters.
Since the four of them are idle and have such strong curiosity, let's take them together to explore!
So, Shen Yuan and A Ling told him that they wanted to go to the town to get some news.
After thinking carefully for a while, the four funny young people agreed very solemnly.
Funny Youth No. 4 suddenly jumped to Shen Yuan's side and said: "My God, you have to protect me! Especially my face! My girlfriend likes my looks the most, so I can't let my looks get hurt. !”
Funny Youth No. 1, No. 2, No. 3: "Go, go, go!"
Shen Yuan suppressed a smile and nodded: "Okay."
A'ya couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Let's set off after breakfast. Then we will separately inquire about the residents in the town to see if we can find out anything."
"Okay." The others agreed.
After eating, everyone dispersed.
Before they dispersed, Doubi Youth No. 4 suggested setting up a WeChat group.
Then a group of six people was formed and named: Six-eared Macaques.
A Ling really wants to ask, why is it called a six-eared macaque?
Shen Yuan told her that the six-eared macaque was the monkey from "Journey to the West" who was as powerful as Sun Wukong. The meaning of this group was that six people were as powerful as the six-eared macaques, comparable to Sun Wukong.
A Ling:......
She said she couldn't understand such a big imagination.
However, it doesn't matter what the group is called.
What matters is their current division of labor.
This Qingxiang ancient town has several main streets and several not-so-main streets. It covers an area about the size of three or four villages.
A Ling visually estimated that there are probably thousands of houses here, which means that according to normal calculations, this town should have about four to five thousand permanent residents.
But given that all the young people in this village have gone out to work, and the town's population is not supplemented by outsiders, the remaining residents should be around a thousand.
By the time A Ling found a public well in the village, she had already determined that the specific population here should be around 1,500 people.
A'ya saw many people coming to fetch water, so she picked an old woman who faced a timid face and walked over, handing over a piece of chocolate: "Grandma, are you here to fetch water? Do you need my help?"
The old woman glanced at the chocolate in A-Ling's hand. She obviously wanted it but didn't dare to take it. She just silently carried the bucket to get water.
A'ya quickly helped her get the water and asked very familiarly: "Where is home? I will send it to you." Then the old woman slowly walked back and walked out of the central area. After that, she snatched the chocolate from A Ling's hand and said vaguely: "Little girl from abroad, if you have nothing to do, just leave early! There are no young people in the village anymore.
,all gone. "
"We are just here for vacation. We can't stay for a few days. We are now staying at Grandma Wang's house." A Ling said, "I seemed to hear someone singing in the village last night. Does grandma know who is singing?"
The old woman's expression suddenly changed, she snatched the bucket from A Ling's hand, and fled in a hurry.
There was a trace of surprise in Aya's eyes.
The old lady is quite strong.
No wonder she doesn't need to help fetch water.
But it's more interesting, isn't it?
After walking around the town, the six people returned to Grandma Wang's house to gather and exchange news with each other. Funny Youth No. 1 said: "I walked around the outside of the town. Basically, I can tell that the people in this town have very little contact with the outside world. I asked a few people and learned that their only contact with the outside world is On the 3rd and 8th of every month, every
On days 3 and 8, they will go to a village outside to buy daily necessities. In addition, people in the town do not interact with outsiders. In addition, the town has a lot of land, so it is self-sufficient. "Douby Youth No. 2 said: "I found out that the specific number of people in this town is 1,456. Basically they are all elderly people, and some are children. However, it is strange that the children are hiding at home and do not come out to play. The age distribution is as follows: 20% are in the 50-60 age group, and 50% are in the 61-70 age group. The grandma we live with is of this age group. Those in the 71-80 age group account for 10%, those 80 and above account for 8%, and the rest are urban residents.
The children in the house are all under 8 years old. "Douby Youth No. 3 said: "I asked a few people what they thought of the singing last night, and everyone was gloomy and refused to say more. Only one uncle hurriedly said that he was just a madman. Obviously, this singer is indeed a human being
! "
How worried are you that the other person is not a human being?
Funny Youth No. 3 continued: "I divided the area based on the law of sound propagation, and I concluded that the person who sang last night should have appeared in this residential area."
Then Doubi Youth No. 3 took out a simple handwritten map and marked an area on it. Doubi Youth No. 4 also reported his findings: "This town is more like a huge village than a town, so the actual person in charge is the most virtuous and respected old man in the town. His surname is Feng. He is eighty-two years old this year." old age
. I proposed to visit Feng Lao, but was rejected by other people in the town. They said that Fenglao was in poor health and did not see outsiders. "
Shen Yuan and A Ling exchanged a look.
My heart said yes.
These four funny young people look so indifferent, but they are a bit awkward when they actually do something! A Ling also took out her findings and said: "I selected a few people who seemed to be cowardly and asked about them from the side. Everyone's reaction to last night's singing was different, some were fearful, some were disdainful, and some were... Indifference and some avoidance. So, obviously the reason why they kept this matter secret was related to their own interests. In addition, I also found out a very interesting news: in this town, there is only the beginning of each month. Two talents
Someone is singing. I also found out the origin of that song, and it was sung in a peaceful tone. How much do you know about Taiping Diao? "
The four funny boys shook their heads together: "I haven't heard of it, but you can search it and have a listen!"
Shen Yuan said: "Then let me tell you what I learned. I hand-drawn a clearer bird's-eye view."
Then Shen Yuan took a map about three square meters from behind. After laying it out, the four funny members collectively knelt down: "Male God, please accept my skull!"
