Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 236 Immortal Mountain
"Counsel Jiang, your conversation is unusual. I don't know why you took such a big risk to take this job!"

Director Wu said suddenly.

Director Wu is a very interesting person. He talks humorously, treats people like a spring breeze, and is good at observing people's emotions. However, after Jiang Defu got along with this person, he found that this person has only one flaw, that is, he likes to drink and can't help but drink when he sees wine. Some are addicted to alcohol.

Those who can do the job of liaising and arranging receptions must naturally be good at speaking and drinking. Men, many things that are inconvenient to talk about or very strange relationships will be brought closer once they are placed on the wine table. The distance between each other makes many difficult things easier.

Director Wu likes to drink, which is an advantage, but it's true that he doesn't drink well. He starts talking non-stop when he's a little tipsy. Jiang Defu likes this, but he's afraid of being bored and won't say anything when asked about anything.

"Director Wu, how do you say this? This brother has just come to your place. To be honest, he is not very clear about many things. I still hope you can reveal more information. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. You local generals are our guides. Come, brother, give you a toast!"

Jiang Defu smiled and raised his cup.

"Consultant Jiang, we are all our own people. Even if you don't ask me, just because you are so generous and generous, I still have to tell you something!"

"Director Wu, just say it, since we are our own people and brothers, feel free to say anything."

"Then... Songshan Island seems to be a good job, and many people are vying for it. If they can complete the stationing and survival on the island, I heard that a division will be sent there in the future. Regardless of age or qualifications, they will all be promoted according to the fastest promotion standard. I heard that the fight is about to break out. In addition to your artillery school, it is said that people from several places are also fighting. As for your artillery school, I heard that two people have been sent here. When the time comes, everyone will have to choose the best according to their abilities!

Brother, it’s not that I’m greedy for life and only care about enjoyment. We all came here with our lives and blood. After that, it will gradually stabilize, and naturally we must cherish life. That place is too dangerous. My suggestion is not to go if you can. If you are old I am old, have a family, but my family is poor and I have a low position. If I want to work hard for my children and family, it’s okay!
I think your conversation, temperament and performance should be in good condition. There is no need to wade into this muddy water. I heard that you are not married yet and you are so young. There is no need. Life is the most important thing. Without life, everything is just a cloud!

I treat you as one of my own, so I told the truth like this!
The guy from your artillery school who came over earlier looked arrogant. Let me tell you, I just went through the motions and didn't say anything!That place is too dangerous, so remember not to go up there first..."

Director Wu continued to lower his voice.

Jiang Defu looked around. There were only two people in the room. He was staying in a guest house, and conditions were limited these days. Director Wu had previously led him to eat at the guest house restaurant. This time the two of them were drinking. Director Wu simply asked the hotel staff to deliver food. When the two of them were drinking at his residence, Director Wu sent out the person who came to serve him.

Although he was a little tipsy, it looked like he really wanted to say something private.

"Then...has there been any problems in that place before?"

Jiang Defu said tentatively.

To say that the location of Songshan Island is indeed important, it is just that it has been deserted for many years without anyone stationed to guard it, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

And now he seems to be determined to station people there, something must have happened.

"Of course something went wrong, and a big one went wrong. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been deserted for so many years, with no one going in. I've only seen airplanes cruising around, and there are grassy lakes and grass everywhere. I tell you, this matter can't be spread. It's early." Of the 100 people who went there in the past few years, most of them died. Many of those who came back still had fevers, vomiting and diarrhea, and many of them died. The hospital was closed for several months at that time.

My father was also responsible for staffing arrangements there, and my mother was a doctor at the hospital. They were afraid to go home for several months, saying they were afraid of spreading the disease to family members or something!You also understand that those people were in charge at that time, not the people on our side now. Later, the situation became even more unstable, so the matter was dropped, and there were no troops stationed up there. Now we are in charge. , worried about the safety there, and wanted to send people to station again. In fact, many people above did not understand what was going on. After all, the management staff were different!

But the locals all know it!Let me tell you secretly, because the higher-ups didn’t know much about the situation, they originally wanted local residents to move there, but no one went there at all..."

Director Wu said in a low voice.

That's it!

Jiang Defu suddenly realized that it would not be that simple.

It turns out that there is indeed a problem on the island.

"How many years has this been going on?"

Jiang Defu continued to ask.

"It's been more than ten years! My father only went there the year before last year. If you had come two years earlier, I could have taken you to see him and asked him to talk about the specific situation back then. But he was very strict about what happened back then. I wouldn’t tell ordinary people.”

Director Wu said.

Jiang Defu looked at Director Wu. This man's father used to work for another group of people, and finally joined the team and turned over. It seems that there are always smart people who can protect themselves.

"Is there any information about this thing from back then? For example, at the hospital..."

Jiang Defu wanted to know the specific situation, but he didn't know if there was any information in this area. After all, it had been so many years and management changes had gone through, so he actually didn't have much hope.

"My mother has saved some medical files from that time. She likes to study them, but she is getting older and has been a little confused in the past few years. She needs to look for those things to find them."

Director Wu said.

Jiang Defu didn't know if it was a pretext, but since Director Wu said this, it meant that there was still hope. He had to know what the situation of those people was back then, so that if he really went to the so-called Songshan Island, it would be easier to deal with it.

But he couldn't act too anxious about this matter. After all, it was a secret matter. The local government didn't want to spread the matter, and no one reported it. Who would bother to poke holes in this!
And according to Director Wu, more than ten years have passed since this happened. If there are still those so-called dangers, no one knows. If not, whoever exposes them will be deemed as spreading rumors. In today's atmosphere, , that is definitely something that will set you on fire.

Jiang Defu and Director Wu quickly exchanged glasses for each other. Director Wu really had an average capacity for drinking, and he was so drunk after not long drinking!
But he was a pretty good drinker, and when he got drunk he got under the table and fell asleep.

Jiang Defu had no choice but to call his assistant over and take him home together.

"Counsel Jiang, I'll just send the director back!"

Director Wu's assistant Xiaoliang is an honest child.

Jiang Defu called the driver from the reception office and asked him to drive Director Wu back together.

Xiao Liang was a little frightened. Knowing that Staff Officer Jiang was the most important person they entertained, they actually asked someone to send their director home.

Jiang Defu didn't take it seriously and followed him to Director Wu's home.

It is a small courtyard with two entrances in the county. Not to mention that Director Wu’s house is really good. The house is very comfortable. Although it is not very luxurious, in this era and in the county, the conditions and the layout are... It looks like he comes from a good family.

Come to think of it, Director Wu said that his father worked as a clerk with the Guo Army, and his mother was a doctor in the county hospital. They were considered a good family.Director Wu's daughter-in-law is fair and clean, doesn't talk much, and looks like a good wife and mother. She is different from rural women. Although she is dressed simply, she looks like a more sophisticated woman. She has a son and a daughter, so she has both children.

They arrived late and Director Wu's mother had gone to bed. Director Wu's wife said that her mother-in-law was not in good health and had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. Her eyesight was also bad and she rarely came out when it got dark, which was inconvenient.

……

Jiang Defu originally wanted to take a leisurely trip to Nanwang Township, but he still has four or five days left before reporting.

Nowadays, the distance from the county town to Nanwang is not too far. If you take an ox cart or horse-drawn carriage, it will naturally be slow. However, the reception office here in the county town will send a car to take him to his destination. Naturally, he does not need to be in a hurry. He will obey Wu The director's comments are here.

On the second day, they went to Penglai Mountain, which is a sacred mountain. Jiang Defu had also been here in his previous life, but in different eras, the scenery was naturally very intertwined.

The right to invent this sacred mountain belongs to Qin Shihuang. In order to seek immortality, he came to this sacred mountain in admiration. Standing on the seaside, looking at the sea, he saw a red light flashing at the end of the sea and sky, so he asked the accompanying alchemist where it was. What is it.

The dog alchemist actually said it was a "sacred mountain"!
Qin Shihuang, who had always had great ambitions, was naturally happy. His dream was big, but his health was deteriorating. Thinking about the dream that might not be possible, he was naturally fascinated by the art of immortality!

Many emperors in history pursued the art of immortality for rights and enjoyment. Jiang Defu felt that Qin Shihuang was different. He did it for the so-called grand plan and the so-called career, but in the end he was deceived by those dog alchemists.

In order to deceive Qin Shihuang, the alchemist said that this mountain was Peng Lai Mountain, so he came up with the so-called Peng Lai Fairy Mountain.

And the real Peng Lai is just the name of a weed!

Today's Penglai Mountain is even more overgrown with weeds, which is completely different from the neatly repaired scenic spot that Jiang Defu saw in his previous life with serious man-made traces.

There is a Taoist temple on the mountain, but it has been damaged. The original carved and painted buildings are full of broken bricks and tiles.

"These bricks are very good and worth protecting and collecting. They have been there for hundreds of years, but the people in the countryside don't understand them. Many of them moved home to build their own houses, and some built pig pens. It's really a waste! You also You know, the people above don’t believe in those so-called words from heaven... Actually, there are still a lot of incense burning down there, and they even pray for rain in the summer... Hey!"

Director Wu sighed.

Jiang Defu looked at the ruins and couldn't help but sigh. He saw a small Buddha statue the size of a fist on the ground. It was very exquisite and looked a bit old. He simply picked it up. You can put this thing in the system to see the price. Anyway, here it is. Come here, pick up something if you have anything to pick up.

"Oh! Officer Jiang, you like these! I told you there are many like these at the foot of the mountain. These things are many years old. They seem to be from the Jiajing period, but they are smashed everywhere. No one wants them. The bricks can still build a house. Pigsty, no one wants these things, I’ll take you there to pick up some good ones!”

Director Wu saw Jiang Defu picking up those small Buddha statues and hurriedly suggested.

He said he was visiting the mountains, but Jiang Defu picked up a bag of small Buddha statues and some small items and went back. While Director Wu was going to the toilet, he got a few of them into the system, and they turned out to be real things.

However, not all of those objects are from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. There are some new objects from the Jiaqing period and the 30s. However, these things are valuable in the system.

It wasn't until almost afternoon that the two drove back from the mountain.

Director Wu is humorous, and Jiang Defu naturally knows a lot of things because of his blessings from his previous life. The two of them had a very interesting conversation.

"Consultant Jiang, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Passing by Director Wu's house not far away on the way, Director Wu said politely.

"Then...it's not troublesome, right?"

Jiang Defu said seemingly unintentionally.

"No...it's not troublesome! How can it be troublesome?"

Director Wu didn't expect that Staff Jiang would agree to eat at his home.

What he just said was just polite words.

You must know that these days, their family is in good condition, and most of the time it is home-cooked food. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the food at GONG's family in the workplace. The hospitality in the guest house is basically based on the best local hospitality. Those so-called meals are what ordinary people eat out. You can only eat it if you have a table.

"It's just that I didn't say hello to my family. I'm afraid there aren't any dishes at home. How about I ask someone to go to the canteen to get some dishes?"

Director Wu suggested that he would not be able to entertain distinguished guests because of the ordinary meals at home.

"Director Wu, no need! As you know, we have been eating in the cafeteria for many years, and we have already eaten too much of those meals. I prefer home-cooked meals. No matter how much food I eat, I still feel comfortable eating home food! The most delicious food is always the best. It’s the food at home! By the way, I went to your house to check it out before. I was in a hurry and didn’t bring anything for your children and aunt. When I came out this time, I even brought some gifts for them. "

Jiang Defu directly rejected Director Wu's suggestion.

He said these words in a polite way, but there were actually many true thoughts in them.

In the past few years, he basically ate at the artillery school canteen. Although the food was simple most of the time, there were also many good dishes and snacks during meetings or festivals. However, the big pot rice was just like that, and sometimes he actually missed it. In the early years, I came to have the daily meals in my hometown.

Many times eating is also a mood!
"Consultant Jiang, you are so polite, why do you bring any gifts?"

Director Wu thought that Counselor Jiang had been in school and was still single. In such a situation, he naturally ate in the cafeteria often. He said he wanted to eat home-cooked meals, so he didn't doubt it.

He was surprised to hear that he had brought a gift. He didn't know when Jiang Defu actually brought a gift. He didn't seem to see it when he came out.

Could it be that when he got in the car earlier, he went to the office to get something, and Staff Jiang put it in the car?

It’s just that he didn’t pay much attention to what was in the car!

When the car arrived at Director Wu's house, Director Wu was still surprised when he saw Jiang Defu pulling out a black bag from the back seat of the car.
