Chapter 17 Yequan Town
In a low-key manner, Xing Tianyu put on sunglasses today to cover his eyes with golden pupils.
Standing at the airport entrance, Xing Tianyu felt a little anxious and confused. He was eager to know what was written in Qin Ming's will, and he was eager to know if he was really thinking too much. All kinds of unsettling signs and a faint sense of crisis made him think constantly. It was not until his turn to go through security check that he suddenly came to his senses.
I put my suitcase on the security check and was about to go over, but the security checker suddenly sounded a sirens.
No! Xing Tianyu suddenly called out to be killed, and suddenly his two short swords were still in the suitcase.
Although the dagger is not a prohibited item such as firearms and bombs, it is considered a weapon anyway. Of course it is okay if it is kept at home, but if it is taken on the plane, it will be troublesome if it is found.
The security inspectors there didn't seem to be very nervous. It seemed that this situation often happened. A young female security inspector in her early twenties walked towards Xing Tianyu and smiled, "Sir, please open your suitcase and let us check it."
Xing Tianyu hesitated to open the suitcase. Just as the security personnel looked into the suitcase, he suddenly lowered his sunglasses, stared at the other party's eyes, and activated the soul-catching eyes.
"Comrade, there is nothing wrong with my box?"
The security officer looked at his eyes and suddenly became dazed, then lowered his head and checked his suitcase again, and replied, "Your box - um, no problem."
She scratched her head in a daze, as if she was a little surprised that she was just now. She smiled at Xing Tianyu embarrassedly and signaled that he could go there.
Fortunately, Xing Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had superpowers, otherwise this would be a bad thing.
Xing Tianyu felt a little emotional when he boarded the plane without any danger. No wonder everyone wants superpowers. It feels so good to have superpowers. Even if it is just the most ordinary hypnosis technique (well, it is not ordinary at all), it can make him unable to get convenience for ordinary people. This feeling of wandering outside the law and transcending above ordinary people is undoubtedly intoxicating.
And this is just because I am just an ordinary person. Just imagine how many big things I can do if I am an agent or a spy using this ability.
Xing Tianyu couldn't help but think about it again. With a roar, the plane slowly flew away from the runway.
A few hours later, the plane landed at an airport closest to the destination. After walking out of the airport, Xing Tianyu looked at the cloudy sky, as if it was about to rain. Although it was noon, there was no sunshine, which made him feel a shadow. He took out his notebook from his pocket and recorded the location of the funeral.
The funeral was held in Qin Ming's hometown, a place called Yequan Town, which belongs to Moyan County, a county-level city that Xing Tianyu had never heard of. According to the travel map, the name probably originated from the black mountains near this small town. It is rich in stone that can make inkstones. In ancient times, it was also a well-known place in the eyes of literati and poets, but with the elimination of modern inkstones, the name became meaningless.
The administrative area of Moyan County is very large, but the location of the county town is very small. There is almost no way to see the location on the map. A small red dot between a narrow valley between two mountains. In addition to some flat land in the city, the mountains are also mountains, and with several rivers passing through this place, the terrain becomes more complicated.
There are several towns around the county town, but Yequan Town is far away isolated from these areas where humans live. It is located between mountains. Even in the scope of this small county and city that is already famous for its remoteness, the location of this Yequan Town is extremely remote.
Xing Tianyu sighed, and it seemed that he was about to arrive in Yequan Town, and some people were in trouble.
The complex terrain brought about inconvenience in transportation. After Xing Tianyu left the airport, he started to take the taxi for half an hour, and then started taking the train. After taking the train, he took the bus until about four o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, he arrived at the county town of Moyan County. However, when he found out about Yequan Town where Qin Ming's hometown was, the people at the station told him that he had to take another train to arrive, otherwise he would have to stay in the hotel for one day and wait for tomorrow before leaving.
Xing Tianyu hesitated for a while and decided to set off overnight. He wanted to know what happened to Qin Ming and wanted to end the matter early.
The railway station in Moyan County is a very simple and small station. He waited for half an hour, and during this period he also made a bowl of instant noodles to fill his stomach. The train finally arrived.
The train is a very old-fashioned carriage that Xing Tianyu has never taken, and has only seen it in some old movies. It seems that the product of the 1970s and 1980s was a product. He originally thought that this thing was out of print, but it seems that in some unknown remote areas, these old trains are still carrying out their mission.
Xing Tianyu got on the train without hesitation, and the way of selling tickets for the train was also very primitive. A thin old man worked as a ticket seller and charged according to the station. When he heard that Xing Tianyu was going to Yequan Town, the ticket seller immediately gave him a look of pity.
"It takes an hour to Yequan Town, twenty-five yuan. There is no direct flight to Yequan Town, but you can get off at Erdaoling Station and take the bus to Yequan Town, but--" The ticket seller wanted to speak but stopped, which immediately aroused Xing Tianyu's curiosity.
"What else do you say about Yequan Town?" Xing Tianyu hurriedly handed over a cigarette. The old man took it and smelled it. He didn't smoke it, but stopped listening. "The people in that place are too remote. Most people don't know much about it. Most of them just hearsay and follow the crowd. But I happen to know some of the allusions inside. Today you are asking the right person," the old man said, and introduced it mysteriously.
It turns out that Yequan Town is an ancient town, which has a history of hundreds of years. Because of the mountains and rivers far away, people who collected taxes in the past were unwilling to go to. However, because of this, it has become a paradise. Although it is poor and peaceful, since the reform and opening up, this advantage has become a disadvantage. There is inconvenient transportation and poor product resources. Yequan Town has nothing to do, and many young people have left there.
A few years ago, the county said it was going to develop the tourism industry, so it wanted to start construction of several artificial attractions in Yequan Town. Unexpectedly, several accidents occurred, and no one knew what happened. However, judging from the county's rapid cover-up of the incident and abandoned half of the development project, it was obviously not a good thing.
The legend of Yequan Town started from that time. Everyone rumored that Yequan Town was a wild ghost, otherwise there would be some monsters under the town. Various strange rumors spread more and more widely, and instead completely covered up the truth of the matter. People generally have a negative view of Yequan Town, believing that it is a "bad" place. However, no one can tell clearly what is wrong. It is just an inexplicable hostility. Even people often have a strange vision for those who have moved out of Yequan Town, as if they have done something shameful.
But one thing is indisputable that Yequan Town has declined hopelessly since then. Most of the young people in the town have left there, and even moved out entire households, as if they wanted to escape something terrible. Only some widowed elderly people who have nowhere to go still live there, but in the past few years, they probably have died almost. After losing most of their residents, the ancient buildings in Yequan Town have become increasingly devastated in time and storms. Basically, there is now almost like a ghost town.
