Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 65

Laofeng Village.

A repair shop on the national road not far from the entrance of the village.

When Zhang Yingying arrived, besides the two masters in overalls, there were four people in the factory, three men and one woman.

"It's Zhang Yingying?"

On the way here, Zhang Yingying chatted with the people in the group, so all four of them stood up to greet them.

"Well, I'm Zhang Yingying."

"Let me introduce you, my name is Liu Jun, this is Cui Yang, he is Zhou Yue, and she is Zhang Qian."

Liu Jun, Cui Yang, Zhou Yue, Zhang Qian.

They are all members of the group, and everyone has reported their names to each other in the group.

"What about Zuo Chen, is he still here?"

Zhang Yingying found out that the author who summoned them had not yet arrived, which made her a little puzzled.

"Zuo Chen has advanced into the village, let us go into the village to find him." Cui Yang explained.

"Well, then let's hurry up to the village."

Zhang Yingying and her group were about to set off, and everyone drove their own cars, but before they set off, Zhou Yue suggested: "I think we should all take one car, and the other cars will be placed here in the repair shop. I asked the master Yes, his store is open 24 hours."

"The most important thing is to get off the national highway from here to Laofeng Village. There is still a section of the road that is not easy to drive. The chassis of your cars are easy to bump into."

Zhang Yingying felt that Zhou Yue's suggestion was acceptable, and so were the others. A group of four got into the Toyota overbearing off-road vehicle driven by Zhou Yue.

"Boss, are you going to Laofeng Village to watch the City God's New Year Festival?"

The master of the repair shop was at the door, looking at the four of Zhou Yingying in the car, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"Master, if you have something to tell us, just say it."

Zhou Yue gave Zhang Yingying and the three of them a look. They came to Laofeng Village this time to expose the ghost trick of that Miaozhu. It would be better if they could know more about Laofeng Village.

"Laofeng Village is very exclusive. Boss, you can go to the New Year's Festival, but you must not meddle in other people's business, and come back after watching." The master of the repair shop finally gave a piece of advice.

"Master, do you know something? Tell us about it. We also saw pictures of the City God's New Year Festival in Laofeng Village on the Internet. It looked very spectacular, so we came to see it."

"Yes, master, we are very curious." Zhang Qian also asked Qiao Shengsheng from the side.

The master of the repair shop was only in his thirties, and he couldn't hold back when faced with a beautiful beauty who acted like a baby. .”

"coming."

Zhang Yingying and the others looked at each other, which was similar to what Zuo Chenda told them in the group.

"All big and small matters in Laofeng Village are decided by the village head. Of course, if the villagers have dissatisfaction, they can raise objections during the City God's New Year Festival. At this time, Miao Zhu will invite the City God to make a decision."

"City God's Judgment, what kind of Judgment Law, jumping on the upper body of the Great God?"

"If it's better to dance to the upper body of the big god, Laofeng village invites the city god. If one fails, he will lose his life. The temple will bring out an iron box, and the villagers who object will go into the box, and then the temple will close the box. Immediately afterwards, someone lifted the box on the fire rack and set it on fire... If the Lord City God thought the villager was right, the fire would not kill him, and the villager would walk out of the Town God's Temple after a while, , the villagers will be burned alive.”

"Isn't this a means of intimidation? In this case, which villager would dare to raise a different opinion? Wouldn't they all have to be burned to death? These villagers are willing to accept such a ruling?"

"These villagers are of course willing to accept it, because if no one in the villagers opposes the village head, then the village head will stand up every year during the annual festival, will lie in the box and be carried on the fire grill, but in the end the village head will come from The fact that the Town God's Temple has come out shows that all the actions of the village head this year have been approved by the City God."

Zhang Yingying and the others looked at each other, because Zuo Chen didn't tell them this.

"I guess there is some kind of black box operation, just like magic. The magician is tied up in the box, and then there is a knife to cut the box, and finally the magician comes out from other places. It is done by using the illusion of sight and secret passages."

Cui Yang put forward his own guess, and this guess was also approved by the three of Zhang Yingying.

"Whether it's magic or not, bosses, don't try to expose it. People in Laofeng Village are very xenophobic."

"Well, thank you master for your reminder, we know."

Zhou Yue didn't ask any more questions, thanked the master, then turned on the navigation and drove towards Laofeng Village.

An hour later, after crossing a relatively dilapidated country road, we finally arrived at the gate of Laofeng Village.

"That should be Mr. Zuo Chen. I've seen photos of his back in Moments, and he's wearing this suit."

As soon as the car entered the village, Zhang Qian pointed to a young man standing not far away. The man was walking towards the village with a sack on his back.

"Master Zuo Chen."

The car approached, the window was rolled down, Zhang Qian waved and shouted, she is an avid fan of novels, this time she will come to Laofeng Village, in addition to being curious about Laofeng Village, she also wants to meet the author.

"Are you... my readers?"

Hearing the shout, the young man stopped, looked into the car, and asked after a while.

"That's right, Mr. Zuo Chen, you're really serious. If you invite us to come, it's fine if you come to the village early, and you won't reply to your messages."

Cui Yang was a little dissatisfied, Zuo Chen helplessly explained: "My phone broke, and there is no place to repair it in this village."

"That's it, then I don't blame you, Zuo Chen, where are you going, and what are you wearing in the sack?"

"I rented a place to live in the village for the past few days. This sack contains half a piece of pork. You guys came just in time. Today you can try authentic farmhouse pork dishes."

"Master Zuo Chen, do you live far away?"

"It's not far, it's just ahead, you just drive your car and follow me. There is still some blood on this freshly slaughtered pig, so I won't get in the car for fear of staining the car."

Zuo Chen showed the bottom of the sack, there was indeed blood seeping out there.

Zuo Chen led the way, and many villagers greeted him along the way. Zhang Qian in the car was surprised when she saw this scene: "Although Zuo Chen didn't stay in the village for a long time, it seems that he is getting along well with the villagers. It’s not bad, the villagers in Laofeng Village are not as xenophobic as the master said.”

"To spread falsehoods."

Zhou Yue explained: "Because of some ignorant behaviors in Laofeng Village, people from other villages may not be willing to come here. If there is little communication, it will become xenophobic if it is passed around."

"That's the truth."

……

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a fenced yard. Zuo Chen opened the door and put the sack in the kitchen before walking out.

"You guys chat in the yard first, and I'll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch for everyone. Let's talk about it when we have dinner."

"Master Zuo Chen, you can also cook, you're talented and can cook, that's amazing."

Zhang Qian was already a fan girl at the moment, Zuo Chen was thin and pale, but her facial features were not bad, which was very in line with Zhang Qian's fantasy of the author.

"Master Zuo Chen, do you need our help?"

"No, just chat with each other. I know you're coming. I've washed and cut many dishes in advance."

Zuo Chen went to the kitchen to cook. Zhang Yingying and the others didn't know each other very well. After talking about everyone's favorite novel for a while, the topic ended.

"Or, let's take a walk around the village."

Liu Jun suggested, and with the consent of Zhang Yingying and the others, Zhang Qian ran towards the kitchen and talked to Zuo Chen, and then they left the yard.

"This Laofeng Village is not as poor as imagined. There are many small western-style buildings."

"Yeah, I thought it would be a dilapidated village full of adobe houses. There are so many small western-style buildings, which means that the village should not be poor. How can the villagers be so ignorant?"

If you can build a small bungalow, you must have gone out and seen the world, and having seen the world, logically speaking, you would not be so ignorant.

"Look, isn't that the Town God's Temple? It's very grand."

Cui Yang pointed to the front. A hundred meters in front of everyone, there was a temple with a simple and grand style. In front of the temple was a square with a dozen pillars erected on it.

"This is more magnificent than the Town God's Temple in our county."

After approaching, look at the dragon and phoenix carved on these pillars, and the Town God's Temple with blue tiles and red walls.

The roof of the temple is covered with resplendent colored glaze, and only the beams under the eaves outside are carved with various immortal patterns, which are lifelike.

"It's so beautiful, I want to take a picture and check in."

Zhang Yingying took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the Town God Temple with a "click", and then edited and sent it to a circle of friends.

A few people walked around the Town God's Temple, but unfortunately the gate of the Town God's Temple was closed and they couldn't enter, and it was almost lunch time, so Zhang Yingying and the others didn't continue to visit, and returned to the original road.

"After all, it is the pig raised by the farmer itself. The taste is delicious."

"Da Da Zuo's cooking skills are also very good. I really envy Da Da's girlfriend." Zhang Qian said exaggeratedly.

"I'm an otaku author. Where did my girlfriend come from? I used to write books without going out for several days, and I didn't want to eat takeaway, so I taught myself how to cook."

"That's it." Zhang Qian's eyes turned around, and a sweet satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After several people finished eating, Zuo Chen put away the bowls and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, then walked back to the table with a pot of scented tea.

"Let's talk about the business. This time I invite everyone here to expose the tricks of the village head of Laofeng Village and Miao Zhu. Although we all know in our hearts that the oven must be a trick, but how did we do it? We have to Crack it open, I have asked about the detailed process of the entire New Year Festival in the past few days, and I will tell you about it."
