C1847 There's Something Strange about the Town Outside
Shen Yuan smiled. "Okay."
Indeed, the dull life had become much livelier with the addition of the four jokers.
Since the four of them had nothing to do, they had nothing to do. They were still so curious. Let's go explore together!
Shen Yuan and Ling told them about their trip to the town to find out more about the town.
The group of four seriously thought about it for a while and solemnly agreed.
The group of four immediately jumped to Shen Yuan's side and said, "Prince Charming, you have to protect me! Especially my face! My girlfriend likes my looks the most, so I can't let my looks get hurt!"
F * ck off! "
Shen Yuan smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Ling could not help but facepalm. "Let's go after breakfast. Then we will split up and ask the residents of the town to see if we can find out anything."
"Okay." The others agreed immediately.
After the meal, As expected, everyone split up.
Before they split up, Joker Young Number Four suggested setting up a WeChat group.
Then, they formed a group of six and named it the Six-Eared Macaque.
Ling really wanted to ask why it was called the Six-Eared Macaque.
Shen Yuan told her that the Six-Eared Macaque came from the monkey who was on par with Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. The group meant that the six of them were as strong as the Six-Eared Macaque and were comparable to Sun Wukong.
Ling:... "
She said that she could not understand such a brainless imagination.
However, what the group group group was called was not important.
The important thing was that they had to split the work now.
This ancient town of Qingxiang had several main streets and a few streets that weren't very important. The area occupied was about the size of three or four villages.
Ling estimated that there were about a thousand houses here. In other words, according to normal calculations, there should be around four to five thousand permanent residents in this town.
However, since the young people in this village had gone out to work, the population of this town was not replenished by outsiders, so the population left behind should be around one thousand.
By the time Ling found a public well in the village, she had determined that the population should be around 1,500 people.
Ling saw many people coming over to fetch water, so she picked an old woman who looked weak and walked over. She handed over a piece of chocolate. "Grandma, are you here to fetch water? Do you need my help?"
The old woman looked at the chocolate in Ling's hand. She clearly wanted it very much, but she did not dare to take it. She just quietly carried a bucket of water to fetch water.
Ling quickly helped her get the water ready and asked very familiarly, "Where is home? I will send it to you."
The old woman then slowly walked back. After walking out of the central area, she snatched the chocolate from Ling's hands and said vaguely, "Little girl from a foreign land, if there is nothing else then leave early! There are no more young people in the village, they have all left."
"We are just here for a vacation. We will not be staying for more than a few days. We are now living in Wang Grandma's house." Ling said, "Last night I think I heard in the village. Does Grandma know who is singing?"
The old woman's expression changed. She snatched the water bucket from Ling's hand and fled in a panic.
A trace of surprise appeared in Ling's eyes.
The old lady was quite strong.
No wonder she did not need her help to fetch water.
However, it was more interesting, wasn't it?
After the six of them walked around the town, they returned to Wang Grandma's house to gather and exchange information.
Joker Young Number One said, "I walked around the town and could basically tell that the people in this town rarely came into contact with the people outside. I asked around and found out that the only people who came into contact with the outside world were 3 and 8 every month. Every 3 and 8 days, they would go to a village outside to buy supplies. Other than that, The people in the town did not interact with the people outside. In addition, this town has a lot of land, so it is self-sufficient. "
Joker Number Two said," I found out that the exact number of people in this town is 1456. Most of them are old people, and some of them are children. But... It was strange that children hid in their homes and did not come out to play. The age distribution was like this: 50 to 60 years old age took up 20%. 61-70 age group accounted for 50%. The Grandma that we live in is at this age. The 71-80 age group accounted for 10%, and the 80 and above accounted for 8%. "The rest are the children in the town. They are all under 8 years old."
Joker Young Number Three said," I asked a few people what they thought of last night's singing. Everyone looked gloomy and didn't want to say anything. Only one of them hurriedly said that he was just a madman. Obviously, the singer was indeed a human!"
How worried are you that the other party isn't a human!?
Joker Number Three continued, "According to the law of sound transmission, I made a regional division. I concluded that the person who sang last night should have appeared in this residential area."
Then Joker Young Number Three took out a simple hand-written map and marked an area on it.
Joker Young Number Four also reported his findings. "Rather than calling this town a town, it would be more accurate to call it a huge village. Therefore, the person in charge is the most respected old man in this town. His surname is Feng. He is already eighty-two years old this year. I offered to visit Elder Feng, but I was rejected by the other people in the town. They said, "Elder Feng's health isn't good, so he doesn't see anyone."
Shen Yuan and Ling exchanged a look.
He thought, "Sure.
These four playful youths did not seem to be in the mood. If they really went to do something, they would still have some skill.
Ling also took out her own discovery and said, "I've chosen a few people who seem to be weak. After asking around, everyone's reaction to last night's singing was different. Some were scared and some were disdainful. Some were indifferent, some were avoiding. Then... Clearly, the reason why they were so secretive about this matter was related to their own interests. Other than that, In addition, I also heard a very interesting piece of news: In this town, only the second day of each month would have people sing. I also heard the origin of that song. It's a peaceful song. "How much do you know about the peaceful tune?"
The four of them shook their heads together: "I've never heard of it, but I can search it and listen to it!"
Shen Yuan said, "Then I'll tell you what I found out. I drew a clearer picture of the bird."
Shen Yuan then took a map that was about three square meters in size from behind him.
The four of them knelt down when they saw the map. "Prince Charming, please accept my skull!"
