I was slightly stunned at first, thinking I had read it wrong. After confirming that it was the message from Hou Baoer, I felt inexplicably relaxed.
Hou Baoer actually sent me a location, and I guessed it was another accomplice’s cell phone.
"He's fine, that's great!" I breathed a long sigh of relief.
Hu Qiu obviously also saw the location on my mobile phone, so he asked: "Is that the person just now?"
Seeing me nodding, Hu Qiu quickly put away the joke on his face and said solemnly:
"Okay, I'll settle the score with you later. Let's get on our way!"
I nodded and clicked on the map, feeling a little more favorable towards Hu Qiu in my heart.
This girl is truly impeccable, unparalleled in talent and beauty, scheming, and knowledgeable, and understands priorities...
She is like a perfect woman who has all the advantages in one body!
Even I didn't realize that Hu Qiu's status in my heart was getting stronger bit by bit.
According to the mobile phone map, they are now in a place called Changshou Village, which is 500 kilometers away from where we are standing now.
I didn't expect them to have gone so far. It seemed that they were always on their way. If they continued to go north, they would reach the northeast soon.
"Have you ever heard of Changshou Village, Spring?" I asked Hu Qiu.
She shook her head slightly, then frowned again.
"What's wrong?"
"I have no impression, and I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before!" Hu Qiu frowned.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "I remembered that the TV report seemed to be about this longevity village. It is said that the people there can live to be more than 100 years old on average."
"More than 100 years old? This is too exaggerated!" I felt a little incredible.
"Who knows if it's true or not? Many previous news reports contained falsehoods. I guess this is just news about promoting longevity culture, and it shouldn't have any reference value," Hu Qiudao said.
"Can you remember the specific content of this report?" I asked, still a little uneasy.
After all, Hou Baoer said on the phone that something was chasing him, and he didn't know what it was. This was a bit weird. I felt that things were definitely not that simple. An ordinary small village might appear now.
It’s something that young people have never seen before!
After Hu Qiu recalled it for a moment, she shook her head with regret and said that she was too young at that time and could only remember a lot of big wooden barrels and the like.
I can't remember anything other than that.
Before the car got on the national highway, Hu Qiu made a phone call and then drove me to an outdoor equipment store, saying that he wanted to buy some outdoor equipment to be prepared.
I also think it is necessary. After all, the further north you go, the worse the environment becomes. It is freezing cold and we are not familiar with the environment, so we must be fully prepared.
Hu Qiu has a wide circle of friends. This is a large outdoor store. With the help of her rich second-generation friends, she not only selected a lot of practical outdoor tools for us, but also put anti-skid chains on our cars.
In fact, I think this is not necessary, but Hu Qiu insisted again and again, and I couldn't resist her, so I had to let her go.
To be on the safe side, we bought a batch of cold-proof products to prepare for emergencies.
It wasn't until the trunk was stuffed to the brim that we drove onto the national highway. Once we got here, there were significantly fewer passing vehicles, but there was no snow on the national highway, which had all been shoveled away by construction vehicles.
Without saying a word, Hu Qiu slammed the accelerator, and the car instantly accelerated and drove along according to the guidance of the map.
I was not idle either, so I opened Baidu on my mobile phone to look up information about Changshou Village. However, what surprised me was that there was no report on Baidu about this small village that had been in the news.
There are only a few titles, but after clicking on them, the content inside is not relevant.
This made me notice something unusual. Logically speaking, this longevity village has been in the news and should not be so unknown.
"Go to sleep quickly, let's see how your eyes are damaged!" Hu Qiu said while driving.
When she said this, I remembered that I had not slept much for several days. When I looked through the reflector, I realized that I was staring into the eyes of two pandas.
"Okay, I'll take a nap first!"
I pulled a duvet from behind to cover myself, then flattened the seat slightly backwards, closed my eyes and began to rest, and soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept for, but I woke up when I heard a sound coming from outside the car. I opened my eyes drowsily and realized that it was already dawn outside.
The car seemed to have entered a service station. A little girl in red clothes was filling the car with gas. Hu Qiu didn't know where he had gone.
When the little girl saw me waking up, she smiled and said to me: "Handsome guy, your girlfriend went to buy breakfast!"
I nodded quickly and said thank you.
Looking at the time, I actually slept for more than five hours. After such a long rest, not only did I not get rid of fatigue, but I felt uncomfortable all over. I knew this was the body's anti-strain response. If it hadn't been for an emergency, I would have definitely found a doctor.
Have a good night's sleep in a hotel.
I took my phone and clicked on the map, only to realize that I was less than 50 kilometers away from Changshou Village.
Suddenly my heart moved, so I asked the little girl outside the car.
"Beauty, can I ask you about a place?"
"Where?" the little girl answered enthusiastically.
"Do you know there is a place called Changshou Village? I asked.
The little girl's hands suddenly trembled, she raised her head and looked at me in surprise, then shook her head.
"I haven't heard of it, ask someone else!"
The little girl who was very enthusiastic just now suddenly changed her face and turned around and left.
I'm a little baffled, there's obviously something wrong with this little girl.
Does she seem to know something?
After hesitating for a moment, I opened the car door and walked out, walking to the supermarket inside, but I didn't find the little girl just now.
"Uncle, where was the little girl just now? Why is she missing?"
The uncle looked at me suspiciously, with caution in his eyes.
I laughed quickly and said, "I asked her to buy two cigarettes for me. I didn't see her come out, so I came in by myself."
As I spoke, I quickly pointed to the soft Chinese food on the counter, "Give me two of these!"
The uncle suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Tell me, Xiao Qin, she has got off work and is changing clothes inside!"
While talking, he got me two pieces of soft China from behind the counter, and specially found a handbag for me to put them in.
The prices here are naturally more expensive than those in normal places, so I didn’t care. When I was paying the bill, I deliberately asked, “Uncle, have you ever heard of longevity village?”
The uncle was stunned for a moment, but he didn't make any unusual reaction. He thought for a moment and then said:
"I think I've heard of it, why are you asking about that place?"
"Oh, I am an online anchor. I have read a report before that the people in that village live a long life, so I wanted to go and have a look."
The uncle nodded without doubt.
"Well, I think I heard that Xiao Qin came from that place. Ask her later. Hey, she's out!" The uncle looked behind me.
I turned around and saw that Xiao Qin had already put on his clothes and walked out of a dressing room inside.
Her expression was a little dull, and she lowered her head as if she was thinking about something.
After seeing me come in, her face changed slightly, she quickly averted her eyes, pretended not to see me, and quickly ran out.
