"Exploring?" A Ling suddenly laughed: "It's just that washing clothes and cooking here is actually pretty boring! It just so happens that the four other comedians are also here.
Shen Yuan chuckled, "Alright."
Indeed, the originally dull life instantly became much more lively with the addition of four more fu y people.
Since the four of them had nothing better to do, and had such a strong curiosity, they might as well pull them along for an adventure!
Thus, Shen Yuan told A Ling about the news that he wanted to gather from the town.
After a moment of serious consideration, the teasing youth and the other three finally agreed.
The fu y youth number four suddenly jumped to Shen Yuan's side and said: "Male 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! "
Joker youth number two and three: "F * * k off!"
Shen Yuan forced a smile and nodded, "Okay."
A Ling couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Let's leave after breakfast. Then we'll split up and ask the residents of the town if we can find out anything."
"Alright." The others agreed immediately.
After the meal, everyone split up.
Before dispersing, the fu y youth number 4 proposed the establishment of a WeChat group.
Then it formed a group of six, named: Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey.
A Ling really wanted to ask why it was called the Six Eared Rhesus Monkey.
Shen Yuan told her that the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey was from Journey to the West, that monkey whose strength was on par with Sun Wukong. The meaning of this group was that the six of them were as strong as the Six-Eared Rhesus Monkey, comparable to Sun Wukong.
A Ling:...
She said she didn't understand the imagination of such a brain hole.
However, what the group name is doesn't matter.
The most important thing was their current division of labor.
The ancient town of Qingxiang had a total of several main streets, some of which weren't very main streets. It covered an area the size of three or four villages.
A Ling estimated that there were about a thousand houses here. In other words, according to normal calculations, the number of people in this town should be around four to five thousand.
However, since the youngsters in this village had all gone out to work, the population of this village should be around one thousand without the addition of an external population.
By the time A Ling found a common well in the village, he had already determined that the specific population should be around one thousand and five hundred people.
Seeing that there were quite a few people coming to fetch water, A Ling picked a cowardly old lady to walk over and passed a chocolate bar to them."Grandmother, are you here to fetch water? Do you need my help? "
The old lady looked at the chocolate in A Ling's hands. She obviously wanted it but didn't dare to take it.
A Ling quickly helped her get the water, and asked familiarly: "Where is my home? I'll send it over to you."
Only then did the old woman slowly return. After walking out of the Central District, she grabbed the chocolate away from A Ling's hands. There are no longer any youngsters left in the village."
"We're just here for a vacation. We won't be able to stay for more than a few days, and we'll be staying in Wang Abba's home right now." A Ling replied, "I heard someone singing in the village last night. Does Grandmother know who it was?"
The old lady's expression changed, she snatched the water bucket back from A Ling's hands and ran away in a panic.
A trace of surprise appeared in A Ling's eyes.
The old lady was quite strong.
No wonder she didn't need to fetch water.
But it's more interesting, isn't it?
After the six of them walked around the town, they returned to Wang Abba's house to gather and exchange information.
"I walked around the outskirts of the town and could roughly guess that the people here rarely come in contact with the people outside. I asked a few people and found out that their only contact with the outside world is on the 3rd and 8th day of each month. On the 3rd and 8th day, they all go to a village to buy daily necessities. Apart from that, the people in the town did not interact with the outside world. Plus this town has a lot of land, so it's self-sufficient."
"I found out that there are 1, 456 people in this town, " said the young man. Most of them were elderly, and some of them were children. However, it was strange that children would always hide at home and not come out to play. The age distribution was as follows: the age group of 50-60 years old accounted for 20%, and the group of 61-70 years old accounted for 50%. The Abba that we live in is at this age. The 71-80 age group accounted for 10%, the 80-plus group for 8%, and the rest were all children under the age of 8."
No. 3 said, "I asked a few people about the singing last night and they all seemed dark and unwilling to say more. Only one of them said hurriedly, 'He's just a lunatic."Obviously, this singer is really a human!"
How worried are you that the other party is not a human!
The fu y young man continued, "I did some dividing according to the sound propagation law. I think the person who sang last night should be in this area."
He then took out a simple handwritten map and marked an area on it.
The fu y young man reported his findings: "This town is not so much a town as a huge village, so the actual owner is the most respected old man in this town. His surname is Feng, and he is eighty-two years old this year. I offered to visit him, but the rest of the town refused. They said that Elder Feng's health is not good, and that he doesn't want to meet any outsiders."
Shen Yuan and A Ling exchanged glances.
He thought to himself, that's fine.
The four teasing young men were unable to adjust their attitude. If they really wanted to do something, they would have some skill!
A Ling also took out his own discoveries, and said: "I chose a few seemingly weak people and inquired from the side, and each person's reaction to last night's singing was different. There was fear, there was disdain, there was indifference, and there was even evasion. Then, it was clear that the reason why they kept this matter a secret was related to their own interests. In addition, I learned a very interesting piece of news: In this town, only the first two days of the month did people sing. I also found out where that song came from, and it was sung in a peaceful tone."How much do you know about the peace tune?"
The teasing group of four shook their heads together."I've never heard of it before, but we can search for them!"
Shen Yuan said: "Then I'll tell you what I found out. I've hand-drawn a clearer bird's-eye view."
Then, Shen Yuan took out a map that was around three square meters in size from behind him.
When he opened it, he saw that the quartet had all kneeled down."God of Men, please accept my parietal bones!"
