It seems that there are not many people who go to the mountains to build houses, so when Xia Jianzheng was confused, Li Fengzhu glanced at him and said, "It should be a village, we are lucky."

When Xia Jian heard that it was a village, he couldn't help but speed up. When he got closer, he realized that he had just seen that he was just a corner of the village. In fact, more houses were built between hills and could not be seen from a distance.

Xia Jian asked Li Fengzhu to hide in the dark. He walked over first. After finding nothing unusual, he waved behind him. Li Fengzhu then trotted over.

They saw a convenience store at the entrance of the village. Perhaps because of the bad business, when Xia Jian and Li Fengzhu entered, there was not even an individual in the convenience store.

Li Fengzhu shouted several times in her heart. A middle-aged woman in her fifties ran out with her hands and rubbed her hands. It seemed that she was cooking dinner.

Without saying too much, Xia Jian took a large plastic bag and began to put what he thought he had used, such as salt, oil, and vinegar. Finally, he found that there was an aluminum pot for boiling water here, and he also carried one. Then he took two disposable paper cups.

When the middle-aged woman saw that Xia Jian was going to buy so many things, she was so happy that she quickly found a basket and smiled and said in half-baked Mandarin: "This is for you, you don't have any money."

Xia Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. Either he was not easy to bring so many things. In short, he bought a full basket of things and asked Li Fengzhu to carry two plastic bags in his hand.

After this trip, all the problems were finally solved. Before leaving, Xia Jian suddenly stopped and asked the middle-aged woman: "Do you have flashlights for sale here?"

The middle-aged woman gestured with her hands and said, "No, but I have an old one at home, which is just fully charged. If you want it, you can take it away for twenty yuan."

"Ah! An old flashlight costs twenty yuan," Li Fengzhu asked back in surprise.

The middle-aged woman gestured and said, "This is a flashlight for animal batteries. The new one costs 100 yuan. I sell it to you for twenty yuan. It depends on how many things you bought today. If you think it is expensive, I will keep it myself and use it."

"It's not expensive, I just want to ask, how long can you last once you charge it?" Xia Jian didn't have much contact with the flashlight of the animal battery.

The middle-aged woman thought for a while and said, "If you use it more, it will take at least one week. If you use it occasionally, it will be almost half a month."

"Okay! Go and get it quickly!" Xia Jian said excitedly.

After a while, the middle-aged woman held a flashlight from the pond in her hand. When she saw such a large item, Li Fengzhu no longer said it was expensive.

After paying the money, when they walked out of the village, they found that it was almost dark. A middle-aged man stood at the entrance of the village and looked at them, and suddenly asked, "Are you two going to the town? There is a free car, each with twenty yuan."

"If you don't go to the town, how far is this place from Shuitang Village?" Li Fengzhu said to the man with a smile.

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Ha! It's at least 30 miles away. If you charter a car, it will cost 100 yuan."

Just as Li Fengzhu was about to speak, Xia Jian rushed in front of her and asked, "What kind of car is yours? How many people can you take at a time? How much does it cost if you go to GL City?"

"My van is a van, and there is no problem with taking more than a dozen people, but I don't want to go in the city. It takes about 100 kilometers and it takes me half a day to go back and forth, which is not worth it," the middle-aged man shook his head and said.

Xia Jian smiled slightly and said, "Give me one of your business cards or phone numbers, so I can contact you. As for money, it is not a problem, so you will be satisfied."

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I am not greedy, I can make money. All the people in our village who are engaged in pyramid schemes use my car." The middle-aged man said, and took out a wrinkled business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Fortunately, the phone number on it is still clear. Xia Jian put his business card into his pocket, lowered his voice and asked, "There are still pyramid schemes in your village?"

"Yes! There are hundreds of people! They often have to pick up people in the town, all of which are in my car. Alas! What are you doing when you are two of you?" The middle-aged man said, leaning in front of Xia Jian's face.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "We are doing geological measurements. Our car broke down and was being repaired on the road. If you use your car these two days, I will call you. Are you familiar with the roads in this area?"

"Just kidding, I'm a person here, so of course I'm familiar with it. But some cars on the roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on. If you really want to go in and pick you up, you have to add more money. If you have less money, I won't do it." The middle-aged man said very seriously.

Xia Jian smiled, waved his hand and said, "No problem, I'll wait for my phone call." Xia Jian said it and left quickly because he found four or five people walking over on the other side of the village.

Since it was already dark, he didn't see clearly whether it was a man or a woman. When Li Fengzhu saw Xia Jian walking so fast, she trotted and chased after him.

"If we had known you had bought so many things, we might as well bring two more people over," Li Fengzhu said with a little breath, carrying two plastic bags.

Xia Jian's feet were flying, and he didn't dare to neglect at all. He walked and said, "There are too many people and the goal is big. Haven't you heard anyone say it? There is also a pyramid scheme den in their village. If they and Zhao Gang are together, then we will be miserable."

Xia Jian's words were a little scared Li Fengzhu. When the woman heard this, she trotted. The two of them ran far away in the darkness. Looking back, it was already pitch black behind them.

Xia Jian was holding a flashlight in his hand, but he didn't dare to use it. He groped with Li Fengzhu and touched the cottage with his memory.

Halfway through, Xia Jian met Chen Xiaomei who came to pick them up, and she returned two girls. With Chen Xiaomei's guidance, they quickly returned to the cottage.

Zhao Chunling, who was standing at the door, said coldly: "If you can't find it, don't buy it. It's so dark, it's so anxious." From her words, Xia Jian could hear it, and he was full of concern.

"You've been worried, but this time we have gained a lot. Not only did we buy a lot of daily necessities, but the most important thing is to know which ghost place we have left is about 30 miles away. I also contacted a private bus. If it costs a lot of money, he might send us to the city," Xia Jian said happily.

Zhao Chunling sighed and said, "It's a big price. The sisters have almost no money on them. It's all up to you. If you don't save some money, I'm afraid you won't even have to buy a ticket to go back."

"It's okay, as long as everyone can go back safely, money is not a problem." Xia Jian laughed and turned on the flashlight of the animal battery. The room suddenly stopped lit up.

When everyone saw that Xia Jian had bought so many things, the atmosphere suddenly became lively. Chen Xiaomei quickly arranged for someone to boil water for everyone to drink. Because since yesterday, everyone had been drinking raw water.

In fact, Xia Jian is sometimes a person who knows the interests of life. This time he bought a lot of small bags of snacks. When these girls saw that they had snacks, they loved Xia Jian so much.

Sitting on the stone outside the house, blowing the night breeze, looking at the stars in the sky, Xia Jian seemed to be in a dream. He really didn't dare to think that such a thing would happen to him this time.

I always heard others say that pyramid schemes are like this. When I saw them today, he also saw the power of it. Zhao Chunling walked over gently, she sat next to Xia Jian and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything, I was just a little emotional," Xia Jian said, turning his head back.

In order to save electricity, Li Fengzhu turned off the flashlight. The girls' laughter came from the dark room. Compared with the tense atmosphere last night, it was incredible.

"Isn't it a bit like acting in a movie?" Zhao Chunling asked with a smile.

Xia Jian sighed and said, "It's really a bit, it's like a dream. Logically speaking, I've experienced a lot of things, but this is the first time I've encountered such a thing. But you seem to be very calm?"

"Oh! When I was in the army's special training, there were many simulation plots, such as the interception I encountered when I fled last night, and I didn't feel terrible at all. But your skills surprised me very much. What exactly are you doing? A mayor has such a handsome skill?" Zhao Chunling asked in surprise.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "I like to practice martial arts since I was a child. Later, I met with the guidance of experts. With the experience in life, I have the scene you saw."

Xia Jian said it very simply, but he had already explained the whole matter clearly. But Zhao Chunling still asked in confusion: "I just heard from the girl in the house who knew your situation, saying, "You can be the general manager of a group in front of you, why do you have to go to Pingyang Town to be the mayor? Are you considered abandoning business and engaging in politics?"

"Hey! It's a long story. It's not that we people in Pingyang Town live too hard. I grew up in Xiping Village again. My wish is to let the people of Xiping Village live a good life, but later I came back. Unexpectedly, they were out of control and worked from the village to the town." Xia Jian said and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chunling in the darkness chuckled softly: "You are really a person with great ambitions."

"What? Don't you?" Xia Jian asked with a smile.

Zhao Chunling sighed and said, "Yes! But what's the use of just having it? After I retreated from the army, I tried to find a job in Pingdu, but the current society is too realistic. Who would use you if you have no money or no one like us?"

"That's a pity. If your skills are useful, it will not be useless to train you in the army. Let's do this! When I go back, I will think of a solution for you." Xia Jian lowered his voice and said to Zhao Chunling.

Zhao Chunling smiled and said, "It seems that I haven't been in vain this time?"
