Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 484 Young Man Yushu
Breakfast in the small town is mostly rice noodles and rice vermicelli. Adding beef balls is already a luxury for the locals. In addition, there are also bean powder, noodles, pan-fried dumplings, soy milk and so on.

There are many varieties, which is similar to other cities. When it comes to food, people don’t feel a sense of separation. Although it is across the border, it is still in the country after all.

After breakfast, there was another long wait, as only that one person could accompany us into the village.

However, Chen Yike is not as easy to talk to as Han Yuedong. He will give the man three days at most. If he doesn't come within three days, he plans to have a good talk with the post office.

If he had a choice, Chen Yi would certainly be happy to go into the village with Yushu, mainly to see if he would fall off the horse this time.

If it really fell down, this guy would be in trouble.

It was afternoon and Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu had nothing to do, so they went to the street and sat in front of the fortune teller again, asking him directly whether what he was planning could succeed this time.

"It takes all three to get the right time, right place and right people."

The fortune teller stroked his non-existent beard and spoke in an unfathomable way, causing Chen Yi's eyelids to twitch. He felt like he was paying to watch a stand-up comedy.

Chen Yi asked: "What do I have now?"

The fortune teller said: "The second one is already there. As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. As long as you are sincere and try your best to achieve your goals, everything will be settled."

"Layman?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows. "The old man is a Taoist priest."

"Yeah." The fortune teller nodded.

Chen Yi: "Is there really no hidden Taoist temple near Ruicheng?"

He asked once yesterday and the second time today.

The fortune teller shook his head: "No."

Chen Yi handed over a hundred yuan, and the fortune teller's eyes lit up immediately. He took it naturally and said, "Maybe not."

Chen Yi handed over another hundred yuan.

"Probably not? I didn't hear it either..."

Another hundred dollars was handed over.

"This, there should be. I heard before..."

The fourth red ticket appeared, and the fortune teller looked confused: "Yes, but I don't know where it is."

Seeing that Chen Yi was about to pay, the fortune teller became anxious: "Little brother! Money is not everything, you are obsessed!"

Chen Yi was surprised: "Are you obsessed with appearances? Are you a Taoist or a Buddhist?"

Being attached to appearances means being obsessed with external appearances, false appearances or individual consciousness and deviating from the essence. Simply put, it is a cognitive bias that causes people to lose themselves and be unable to see the true essence of things.

There is nothing wrong with the saying "being attached to money", but it is a Buddhist term.

Does this old man learn so many different things?
"Ahem." The fortune teller coughed and said with a smile, "Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, as long as you have faith in your heart, you will be successful in everything you do."

The unified rhetoric is quite good.

I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain today. This guy definitely knows about the hidden Taoist temple, but he is unwilling to make it public. Maybe it's his bottom line.

He... couldn't he be the expelled "Taoist priest"? To cheat people, one must have a master, so one must know a little bit.

"You really can't tell?"

"I really can't... uh, I really don't know why you, a young man, want to become a Taoist priest at such a young age. Taoist priests cannot marry."

After saying this, he glanced at Fang Shuyu as a hint.

Chen Yi said to himself: "Can't marry? Then you are not a Zhengyi sect."

When he had nothing to do these two days, he had done a lot of research on the Internet and was considered an expert among laymen.

There are also different Taoist sects, and some sects allow marriage, with the Zhengyi sect being a typical example.

Hearing the word "Zhengyi Sect", the fortune teller glared and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?" Chen Yi wanted to argue with the other party, but at this time the phone rang. It was Liang Qidong calling. After answering the call, the other party said that Yushu had arrived.

When he learned that the guide was in place, he no longer had the heart to chat with the "charlatan" in front of him. He stood up and left. The other party happily took the money, which was enough to last for a long time.

When Chen Yi and his companions arrived at the market outside the mountain, they saw a young man leading three horses to buy daily necessities. Liang Qidong and his companions had not yet stepped forward to explain the situation.

"He shouldn't be going back today, right?" Chen Yi walked over and asked.

Since the journey would take nearly a day, the other party would not walk at night, as it would be dangerous even if they were familiar with the route.

Lao Shao said, "No, he's leaving tomorrow. The vendor's family owns a small hotel, and because he's been patronizing the business for a long time, they'll give him a room for free."

Chen Yi looked at the young man from a distance and asked, "Is he the one in charge of purchasing things for Yuluo Village?"

Lao Shao: “Yes.”

Chen Yi: "How many years have you been doing this?"

Lao Shao needed to think about this question carefully. After thinking for a while, he answered: "Only these two years? I remember that."

Chen Yi stared at the man for a while and said, "You traveled back and forth for more than ten hours, doing thankless work, just to make a profit? Or is it voluntary labor assigned by the village that you have to do?"

Old Shao didn't expect Chen Yi's thinking to be so out of line, and didn't know how to answer for a moment: "One... has always been there, it shouldn't be to make a profit from the price difference, right? We are all from the same village."

"The villagers also need daily necessities to facilitate their lives. Someone has to do this. It's good for him to see the world. I think he should be happy to do it."

As they were chatting, Yushu was leading the horse closer and closer to them. He finally noticed Lao Shao and the others. After being stunned for a moment, he turned around decisively without hesitation.

"A Shu!!" Lao Shao shouted.

Yushu paused, turned around reluctantly, waved at Lao Shao with a forced smile, and called him Uncle Shao.

There are only a few policemen in the border police station on the edge of a remote township who are responsible for dealing with the local people. Lao Shao has been working there for twenty years and knows almost everyone in the neighborhood.

On the other hand, others naturally know him and his prestige is still very high. The relationship between them is not like that between police and citizens, but more like a family with different surnames.

"Why are you running when you see me? Come here!" Lao Shao shouted.

Yushu had no choice but to lead the horse in front of everyone.

"Ah Shu," Lao Shao said, "This is a leader from the city. He wants to visit the village. Please take good care of him when you go back tomorrow and send him back when the time comes."

He gave the order without even asking for opinions.

Yushu glanced at Chen Yi secretly and said in embarrassment: "Uncle Shao, you know that the village doesn't allow outsiders to enter. Besides, the mountain road is dangerous. Didn't someone get injured last time?"

Lao Shao said in a serious tone: "Then how come I've been there before? The police are not bad people. Why are you worried? Don't talk about last time, that was an accident. This time I have experience and I will take good care of it. I will dismount and walk in steep places. I won't save you any money."

Yushu resisted: "What are we going to do in there? There's nothing to see in the village."

"Don't worry about that." Lao Shao didn't give him a chance to continue speaking: "Then it's decided. Take three people and set off early tomorrow morning. You will stay in the hotel tonight. This leader has specially arranged it."

Staying in a hotel did not make Yushu feel better, but he knew it was impossible to refuse, so he had no choice but to agree.

Chen Yi didn't see any problem and had no plans to talk to Yu Shu in the evening. He was worried that if he asked something, the other party would do something that would affect the investigation.

We’ll talk about everything after we get into the mountains and the village.

The next day, when Yushu came to the horse with a pie in his mouth, the three men were already waiting. Their "impatient" look made the corners of their mouth twitch.

"Leader, please ride this horse. It's young and docile." Yu Shu forced a smile. "The other two brothers will share one."

Chen Yi also showed a kind smile and said, "Does docility have anything to do with age? I thought it had something to do with personality. Thank you for your hard work. I'll just call you Ah Shu."

Yu Shu nodded: "Okay."
