Chapter 2460 Pretending to Be a Couple
Everyone else went to perform their tasks, Hua Yuezhu maintained an excellent standing posture and stood beside Zhang Xiaohou.
Hua Yuezhu is the head of the bodyguard, and is only responsible for Zhang Xiaohou's personal safety, and does not participate in other affairs.
"I want to go to those villages to learn about the situation, but if we wear this kind of attire, many villagers will be afraid. We'd better wear casual clothes." Zhang Xiaohou said to Hua Yuezhu.
"Afraid?? Why are these villagers afraid of our soldiers? Could it be that they did some shameful deeds?" Hua Yuezhu said.
"It's not all. The people have a kind of awe and caution towards the police and soldiers. If you go to talk to them in your identity, you will only ask one question, and they will answer one. The answer we get is often not what we want, if it is plainclothes If we do, they will treat us as passers-by, and what they say will be more casual. Of course, we need to distinguish which ones are real and which ones are made up by themselves." Zhang Xiaohou said.
When he was in Qinling, Zhang Xiaohou was also in charge of many villages and towns-related incidents, which the Magic Association was inconvenient to handle, and could only be handed over to the state and the military.
So Zhang Xiaohou has experience. When dealing with local people, business affairs are often ineffective.
...
Putting on casual clothes, the two pretended to be the kind of literary youth who ride and travel to see the world.
The village has electricity, but everyone went to bed very early, it was only after eight o'clock, and there were not many people walking in the whole village.
Zhang Xiaohou was wearing a windshield and sunshade fur coat, which was also a very ordinary warm base. It was cold at night by the sea, especially in April and May when it was a bit clammy and cold, and no coat could resist it at all.
Hua Yuezhu changed into jeans and a one-shoulder shirt, and put on a slimmer sweater that was more close-fitting.
Zhang Xiaohou didn't know Huayuezhu for a long time. The Huayuezhu he saw in the past were all dressed in straight military uniforms, not the military skirts of military secretaries, but rather loose nylon pants.
But after putting on this outfit, Hua Yuezhu's temperament changed immediately, lacking the heroic and vigorous spirit of a soldier, and adding a bit of the gentle and charming of an urban beauty.
"What's wrong?" Hua Yuezhu, the captain of the bodyguard, looked puzzled, not understanding why General Zhang looked at him with a different expression.
"It's the first time I saw you wearing clothes other than military uniforms. I think you fit the set of our literary youth." Zhang Xiaohou said truthfully.
Hua Yuezhu thought that Zhang Xiaohou would praise her for her beauty, but when she heard such a sentence, she made a stern face.
...
There should be no tourists here, not even a place to stay.
They could only find a family with a small courtyard built with stones and walked in.
This family's house is very old, it's made of wood, it's been some years old, and the wood has turned black.
"Baby, did you go to the wrong door?"
There was an old man in the courtyard, smoking a cigarette and drinking tea.
At this time, the dog in the courtyard barked wildly, and the old man gave the dog a fierce sound, and then set his eyes on Zhang Xiaohou and Hua Yuezhu.
Zhang Xiaohou showed a naive smile, scratched his head and said to the old man: "Old man, my classmates and I rode a long distance and thought this place was very beautiful, so we crossed the wetland and entered the island. How could the sea rise and flood the road? We can't go back."
"Oh, I said why the two of you look so good-natured,
Is there no place to spend the night? ' said the old man.
"Yes, yes, we didn't find the hotel either." Zhang Xiaohou hurriedly said.
"Normal, we rarely come to outsiders here. If you don't dislike it, you can stay with me. I will ask my son to clean up the upstairs room... Well, can I sleep on the wooden floor and lay a warm mattress." The old man Shake off the ashtray.
"Okay, thank you old man."
"Thank you old man."
"Small things, come and drink tea, see you are tired, sit, sit... oh, little comrade, your daughter-in-law is very beautiful, blessed, blessed," the old man said.
Hua Yuezhu was very happy to hear other people's praise, and gave Zhang Xiaohou a special look, thinking that Zhang Xiaohou should have said similar things before.
"Old man, we came all the way just now and found that there are many factories and some pits here. What are they doing?" Zhang Xiaohou asked along the way, as if chatting normally.
"I want to dry the salt, what else can I do. In many of our villages, except for the sugar cane farmers, most of them are farmers who dry the salt. They take care of their own land and dry the salt, and the people in the factory will come to harvest it. How much for a pound of salt." The old man poured a few cups of tea.
"Where do you get the salt?" Hua Yuezhu asked.
The old man immediately laughed and said, "You are still students, I don't know the difference between edible salt and industrial salt. We are sea salt, which needs to undergo very complicated processing before we can eat it. the use of."
"Other uses?" Zhang Xiaohou felt that he had asked the right place.
The old man didn't say any more, obviously he wouldn't talk to outsiders easily.
Hua Yuezhu was a little anxious and wanted to ask questions immediately, but Zhang Xiaohou immediately stopped him with his eyes.
If you keep asking like this, people will definitely be suspicious. Since you don't say it, there must be a reason for not saying it.
However, this made Zhang Xiaohou question the factory here even more.
Although salt has a wide range of uses, there is no transportation at all, so all the sea salt produced by farmers is for their own use?
...
"Father, the room is ready," said a dark-skinned man in his twenties or so.
"Go and rest. You can take a look around tomorrow. That road probably won't show up in the next few days," the old man said.
"it is good."
Zhang Xiaohou led Hua Yuezhu to the second floor of the house, and the old man's son, his eyes were watching Hua Yuezhu the whole time, as if he had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
As a result, the old man hit him with a pipe on the forehead, and reprimanded: "What do you think, that is someone's daughter-in-law, if you have the ability, you can marry another one. If you say you don't like the third girl at the entrance of the village, then you go to the big city. Ah, what can you do in a big city, you can't do anything but dry salt!"
"Dad, don't I want to stay here to honor you? If I go to a big city, you will be alone, but I have given up my good life to accompany you here," said the old man's son.
The father and son were talking so loudly that they could still be heard in the room on the second floor. Hua Yuezhu burst out laughing when he heard the old uncle and his son bickering in the yard.
"They're so funny."
"This old man should know a lot of things." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"How do you see it, I think it's a very ordinary old man?"
"He's a mage."
"Ah??" Hua Yuezhu was confused.
She didn't see that such an ordinary and simple old man looked like a mage who knew how to use magic!
