I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 296 Meishan Village

While the vehicle was in motion, Lin Yuan didn't really choose a bed. He could sleep soundly in the vehicle if he wanted to.

After an unknown amount of time, his nose suddenly moved, and then he woke up. Li Jun kept paying attention to him, "Boss Lin, aren't you going to sleep for a while?"

"Is there any epidemic recently?" Lin Yuan did not answer, but looked outside the car.

epidemic?

Li Jun didn't know why and followed Lin Yuan's gaze.

Now the car has arrived on the township road, but the road is very smooth and driving is still very convenient. However, at this time, several special vehicles drove over from the opposite side.

Lin Yuan's eyes have been on these cars.

As they passed each other, Li Jun and A Hong both smelled a very familiar smell, which was the odor of corpses. It was obvious that the car was a hearse and that there were corpses inside.

Li Jun looked back.

Behind the vehicle were corpses covered with white cloth. Whether it was a coincidence or an accident, a gust of wind blew up the white cloth on one of the corpses, revealing the corpse underneath.

Stiff, cold, and wet, as if he had been caught in the rain.

The weirdest thing is that one of his hands strangled his neck tightly, and the fingers had penetrated deeply into his neck, as if he had pierced his aorta and drained his blood alive. So the body was stiff and white.

What struck Li Jun most deeply was the dead man's expression.

It's not fear and despair, but a fierce and welcoming look, as if you are fighting something. But with this look, could it be that you are fighting yourself before you die?

"Abnormal death. There is indeed a problem in Yang Jian's hometown. It seems that Yang Jian has also been involved in a supernatural incident. Fortunately, the store manager is also here this time, so there should be no big problem."

With the "store manager" by his side, Li Jun didn't worry too much even though he was aware of the danger.

This feeling.

Just like when downloading a dungeon, there is a master with full level magic equipment to guide you. Although this boss's ideas are different from ordinary people, he can still guide and communicate.

As for the real store manager?
Since I didn't feel that terrifying sense of crisis, it meant that everything was within the scope of His approval.

"Perhaps Wei Jing is right. The world is a game field for him. What he needs is for us to give him wonderful performances one after another. And the store manager is what he uses to guide us players. The...npc?”

Lin Yuan seemed to have lingering fears, "A similar situation occurred in Dachuan City last time. The entire Dachuan City was blocked. Isn't a similar situation happening in Meishan Village or even Yang Town?"

Li Jun thought carefully and said, "Probably not. Maybe there was an accident."

"There is no best." Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing more, but he couldn't hide the worry in his eyebrows.

The car drove from Dachang City to Yangzhen, and then drove five or six kilometers from Yangzhen to a village, which was Yang Jian's hometown in the file - Meishan Village.

"Villages are usually named based on their geographical location or characteristics. There are no plum blossoms in Meishan Village, and there are no mountains nearby. I really don't know why it was named like this." Lin Yuan started chatting.

This is also the state that an ordinary person should have. Many times what they say and chat does not have much meaning.

But Li Jun and A Hong couldn't think so. They were very cautious about every word the "store manager" said. After all, the "store manager" could follow his words.

If they really think that the name of Meishan Village is not worthy of its name and they really have a mountain with plum blossoms all over it, how should they explain it to the public?
It is said that the headquarters felt that Meishan Village lacked "plums" and "mountains", so it specially moved a mountain full of plum blossoms?
If we really do this, I'm afraid small mountain villages across the country, and even counties and urban areas, will start to make a fuss, and there will be no way to end it by then.

"Perhaps it existed before, but after hundreds of years of changes, the landscape has changed." Li Jun gave a reasonable explanation.

In other words, behind his headphones, a group of scholars organized by Cao Yanhua gave a fairly appropriate answer after analysis.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan just talked casually and did not go into details.

The village is very quiet. Like most villages across the country, young people have gone out and some villagers have also moved away. There are really not many people left. Only at the end of the year, there will be slightly more people coming back to their hometowns. There are some, but they are limited.

Today's young people are increasingly busy with work.

It's still some time before the Chinese New Year, so the village is predictably deserted.

But when the car drove into the village, it discovered a very strange, even weird scene.

It should be a deserted village, but today it is unexpectedly lively. There are many cars parked on the road with license plates from all over the country. It seems that everyone has returned.

"Is it the day of ancestor worship in Meishan Village recently? So many people come back?" A Hong looked out the window, very puzzled.

Li Jun said in a deep voice: "There are many surnames in Meishan Village. They are not a unified clan, and no big family has an ancestral hall here. Even if they are worshiping their ancestors, it is impossible for so many people to come together. And haven't you noticed? It seems like every household here is having a funeral.”

Ah Hong was startled and observed carefully.

As Li Jun said, Meishan Village was filled with low cries at this time. He had just passed six households, five of which had coffins in their main rooms.

But some families have already set up their mourning halls, while others are still preparing for funeral arrangements.

"Lao Li, are you sure there is no large-scale epidemic here?" Lin Yuan asked the question again, "Lao Guo, there should be a few masks next to your seat in the car. Bring a few here."

"Good boss."

Guo Fan lowered his head and took a look. Sure enough, there were four masks in the small compartment of the car door. But when he got in the car, he took a special look and found that there was nothing there.

Forget it.

The "store manager" does what he says, and the sudden appearance of masks in the car is not a big problem.

After dividing the masks, Lin Yuan said: "Put on all the masks. If there is any epidemic, come to my store then. Mr. Zhang has good medical skills in this area, so there should be no problem."

Li Jun and A Hong both rolled their eyes.

You don't need to think about it to know that if you go to see Zhang Bohua for "medical treatment", the "store manager" will definitely charge a handling fee. He is really desperate for money.

"Go and ask where Yang Jian's home is. I hope there is no problem with him."

"Okay boss...but there should be no need to ask."

Guo Fan stopped the car in front of the nearest house where there was no funeral.

This is a two-story cement house. If it were placed ten or twenty years ago, this old-style building would have been relatively fashionable, even one of the best, but it is obviously outdated now.

There was some moss growing on the house, and it looked aged and abandoned, giving it a slightly eerie feeling. It looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

But the house was clean and there were no clutter, and there was a young woman talking to another little girl at the door.

After seeing the taxi, his eyes widened immediately, "Can such an antique taxi still be on the road, and can it be driven to Meishan Village?"

Guo Fan, Li Jun, and A Hong stepped out of the car one after another, including Lin Yuan. He looked at the woman and the little girl curiously.

The look in her eyes made the woman very wary, and she pulled the little girl behind her, "Who are you?"

Although the little girl was pulled behind her, she was not afraid of strangers at all. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuan and his group curiously, and finally set her sights on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also returned a bright smile.

It was this smile that seemed to frighten the little girl, and she retracted her head directly, not daring to look again.

The woman quickly protected the little girl behind her and frowned: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

"Jiang Yan, I am Li Jun from the headquarters, this is A Hong, Guo Fan, and this is the owner of the Peace Hotel, Lin Yuanlin. This should be Yang Jian's home, is he at home?"

Li Jun?

Jiang Yan has naturally heard of this name. Although she has never seen him, she also knows his identity.

She had never heard of the names of Ahong and Guo Fan, and she had never seen them before, including Lin Yuan, the manager of the Peace Hotel. She was also confused.

"It seems that Yang Jian didn't tell you about the Peace Hotel. But it doesn't matter. Where is Yang Jian? We have something to find him."

Jiang Yan said: "He is upstairs, I will call him."

With that said, she turned around, pulled the little girl back into the house, and closed the door.

Lin Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Is this Xiao Yang's girlfriend, secretary, and housekeeper? This vigilance is quite good. Xiao Yang won't be strictly controlled, right?"

"Maybe, but everyone has their own fate. Maybe Yang Jian likes this one." A Hong said with a smile.

Compared with Li Jun and others, she seemed to have adapted to the way of getting along with Lin Yuan faster, which also made Lin Yuan feel very comfortable, "Sister-sister relationship? Xiao Yang's mother should still be there, right?"

"Brother Yuan, isn't it inappropriate for you to talk about me like this behind my back?"

The door was opened again, and Yang Jian, dressed in a responsible person's uniform and with a cold face, walked out of the room with no one behind him.

But a little head poked out from behind the door.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're fine. When I entered the village, I saw so many people having trouble with their families. I thought there was something wrong here too. By the way, what on earth is going on? Why did you even call? It doesn’t make sense, and everyone thought you were missing.”

Yang Jian rubbed his cheek.

In fact, when he saw white fog appearing in the village, he had some guesses.

Now that the "store manager" appears in front of him, it just makes him confirm his thoughts. In front of the "store manager", the emotions lost due to supernatural erosion are also returning quickly, as if... he has returned to a dream. Thinking of the dreams of the past few nights, Yang Jian's face became very gloomy.

"Something happened in the village. For the time being... there is no way to leave, and there is no signal. I'm sorry." Yang Jian knew what to say and what not to say.

Lin Yuan nodded, "That's it, as long as you're fine. By the way, I'm here to bring you a message for your father..."

"What? His father? His father is still alive?"

A quick voice sounded, and then a middle-aged woman walked out of the room, with Jiang Yan pulling beside her with an anxious look on her face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't stop Auntie."

Yang Jian waved his hand and said, "It's okay."

Then he introduced Lin Yuan and his group: "This is my mother, Zhang Fen. Mom, this is Lin Yuanlin, the owner of the Peace Hotel. Behind him are my colleagues, Li Jun, A Hong, and Guo Fan."

"Haha! No, no, I'm not. I resigned a few days ago and am currently driving for my boss as a full-time driver." Guo Fan quickly explained.

Yang Jian glanced at him and said nothing more.

Zhang Fen was thinking about Lin Yuan's words, but she still said hello briefly without losing her courtesy, and then asked again: "Hello, Boss Lin, you just said that Yang Jian's father came here with the news. ,is that true?"

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, Yang Jian said first, "Mom, you heard wrong. It was a friend of mine who brought the message. Dad has been dead for many years, and his portrait is still on display in the bedroom on the second floor. You have to wipe it every day." Several times."

"Yes, Mom heard wrong. Mom misses your dad too much. Let's talk while Mom goes upstairs to clean up." Zhang Fen forced a smile and turned back to the house.

Zhang Yan gave Yang Jian a wink, and then followed her, "Auntie, slow down, I'll be with you."

But the little girl suddenly called out: "Aunt Jiang, I'm with my mother too."

Aunt Jiang?
This sound made Jiang Yan almost fall to the ground. Li Jun and others also looked shocked, but Lin Yuan chuckled softly.

"Xiao Yang, your family is quite interesting. Is this little girl your sister?"

Yang Jian shook his head, "It's my cousin, her name is Liang Yuan, she's staying at my house these two days."

"It seems that children nowadays are quite naughty." Lin Yuan thought of Xiong Wenwen, but in comparison, this little girl named Liang Yuan was so much happier and was not troubled by diseases. However, he changed the topic and said, "Did you just Said your father has been dead for many years?"

Yang Jian's heart skipped a beat, he certainly knew the rules of the Peace Hotel.

Although he is not in the Peace Hotel now, he still has to explain his words in front of the "store manager", "When I was a child, he was no longer in this house. Later, news came that he died in a car accident in another place. After the news came back, the family set up a robe for him. "

Lin Yuandao: "I see, but don't you know that he works at the post office? Why didn't you tell your mother clearly?"

"It's been so many years. If he really cared about this family, he wouldn't be away all the time without coming back. In this case, it's better to just let everything be as usual, rather than letting my mother go from disappointment to hope to disappointment. Such a blow, she I won’t be able to follow it.”

Yang Jian's explanation is also reasonable.

Lin Yuan didn't think there was any problem, "It's hard for an upright official to deal with family affairs. In this case, I won't get involved in the affairs of your father and son. Anyway, I've already brought him here. It's up to you to decide whether you want to see him or not."

With that said, he asked Li Jun and others to leave.

He still has to catch a flight, and I don’t know what the chaos is like on the island country. I hope Lao Hei is not in danger.

Yang Jian suddenly said: "Wait! Brother Yuan, it's rare for you to come to my hometown. Why don't you stay here for one night before leaving, and let me do my best as a landlord."

Lin Yuan glanced at the direction entering the village, and could still vaguely see a few houses used for business.

After hesitating for a while, he said helplessly: "Xiao Yang, we are old friends. Logically speaking, you rarely invite me once, so I shouldn't refuse. But isn't the situation in your village not quite right recently? Is there any infectious disease?"

"Brother Yuan, you misunderstood. Their situation is a bit special. Anyway, they are not contagious." Yang Jian said seriously.

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take a vacation and check out how the environment is like here. Before, I had been thinking about where to go when I promised to go to the team building for my friends in the store, but there was no one. The definite direction.”

As for Lao Hei?

Anyway, Lao Hei has been in the island country for so many days, so it’s not less than one and a half days.

"Then I'll prepare a room for you. There just happen to be a lot of empty rooms at home."

Yang Jian led everyone into the house. As for preparing the room, Zhang Fen and Jiang Yan took Liang Yuan to prepare it.

Lin Yuan seemed to be more interested in the pastoral scenery here. After asking which direction had the fewest people doing errands, he went for a stroll.

Guo Fan and A Hong followed.

"What happened here? Can you tell me now? Your phone has no signal before. What's going on?"

Li Jun stayed here specifically because he wanted to understand what was happening in Meishan Village.

Yang Jian did not hide anything, "There is a ghost in this village, a ghost that can kill people in dreams. The most terrifying thing is that the way it pulls people into dreams is very simple and crude, even as long as you hear an acquaintance calling you outside the door. , will be pulled into the dream. And in the dream, we will all become ordinary people and lose all supernatural powers, but the ghosts will disguise themselves as villagers and attack from the most incredible angles. It kills. In reality, even if there are no wounds on the body, it will die, and it will die by suicide.”

A ghost that pulls people into dreams and kills people in their dreams?
Li Jun's face changed slightly, "If you become an ordinary person in a dream, it is indeed too dangerous. No wonder you want to keep the store manager. If he is here, this ghost should not be a problem. So death in the village Are all the people killed by that ghost in their dreams?”

He remembered the corpse he saw when he entered the village. He strangled himself to death with his own hands, a very incredible way of death.

Now that supernatural powers are involved, it is understandable.

"Although there are no plum blossoms or mountains in this village, the scenery is indeed good. The view is also very wide. It is suitable for camping, but it is not good for team building."

Lin Yuan quickly took a tour of the village.

Of course, those who were doing errands at home did not go. One was because they did not want people to misunderstand that they were going to give gifts, and the other was because they were worried about any infectious diseases.

Don't blame him for thinking so.

If it were just two or even three families doing nothing, they could barely use bad luck to get past it. But eight out of ten families were doing nothing. From the perspective of ordinary people, who said there was no infectious disease? letter?
"Boss Lin, you've been talking about team building for half a month. Isn't this just for the employees?"

Ahong asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan glared at her angrily, "Do I look like such an irresponsible boss? I told you before that I would wait until the end of the month to see the performance before deciding where to build teams and what specifications to use. Team building. There are still about ten days left, and I’m already inspecting the team building location.”

A Hong asked curiously: "Boss Lin, do you have a favorite place?"

"Hey! I really haven't thought about this well. After all, the world is too chaotic now. Even team building must consider the safety of employees. You can't go to places where monsters are rampant, and there can't be places with epidemics. Too difficult."

Lin Yuan felt depressed thinking about it.

Ahong was also very helpless. This time she also received arrangements from the headquarters and wanted to find out the location and specifications of the "store manager" team building.

Only with detailed information can the headquarters be prepared to respond.

The "store manager" is too scary. Just traveling anywhere can cause an S-class supernatural incident. That is, if the "store manager" doesn't let go and kill people, there will be no place to cry in the headquarters.

The result was good.

The "store manager" didn't have a clear idea yet, which left A Hong with nothing to do.

And this topic ended here, because Yang Jian and Li Jun came over, "It's getting late, and Yang Jian's family has prepared a big meal."

Yang Jian nodded, "Brother Yuan, I have taken great care of you in the store before. Please let me show my loyalty as a landlord this time."

Lin Yuan nodded and suddenly looked at Li Jun.

Li Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have asked Boss Lin to change your ticket. You can go again tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'm relieved. You're still a nice person, Lao Li. Unlike Lao Cao, all the young people who are addicted to the Internet now know how to go to the e-sports room to play games when they go to the store."

Complaints are complaints, but it was impossible for Lin Yuan to persuade Cao Yang not to play games or live in an e-sports room.

What happened next was uneventful.

Under the careful attention of Yang Jian, Li Jun, A Hong, Guo Fan and others, Lin Yuan had a very pleasant afternoon.

Seeing the sky getting dark, Lin Yuan picked up his phone and checked the time. "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a rest. You can do it yourself."

With that said, Lin Yuan went to the bedroom prepared by Yang Jian's family.

The remaining people looked at each other in confusion. Yang Jian said to Zhang Fen and Jiang Yan: "Mom, Jiang Yan, you should go to rest early. My colleagues and I have some official matters to discuss."

Zhang Fen nodded and said: "Okay, then don't work too late and go to bed early."

Of course she knew this was just an excuse.

When her son grew up and it was work-related matters, she would naturally pretend to be stupid. This was also a way to cooperate with her son's work.

Soon, only four people, Yang Jian, Li Jun, A Hong and Guo Fan, were left in the hall.

The first person who couldn't sit still was Guo Fan. He also knew the news about Guimeng and was unwilling to stay here. "I am the boss's full-time driver. The boss has gone to rest, so I will guard the door for him."

Only with the "store manager" can he feel safe enough.
