The dialogue between Miao Qingfeng and the old man was in their local dialect, which was hard for outsiders to understand .
“Boss, what are they talking about?”
“They are praising you, saying that you are handsome . ”
“Huh, can that be?”
“What do you think?” Yang Guanfeng asked . “They are using their local dialect . It’s the language that only the people in their village can understand . Do you think I can understand them?”
The young man was stunned . He had not expected that the captain would make such a joke .
“He said he could take a look for you . ” Miao Qingfeng smiled at the two of them .
“Alright then, take a look at him first . ” Miao Qingfeng pointed to the young man beside him .
“Why me?”
“You are heaty . You have to be checked . ”
“Boss, how can you tell that I am heaty?”
“Bad breath . ”
“That’s because I ate stinky tofu . ”
“Come on, don’t talk so much nonsense . ”
The old man’s way of consultation was not to check his pulse but to look . He would stare at people continuously and ask questions, but the young man could not understand what he had said . Fortunately, there was a translator beside him .
Miao Qingfeng asked the questions, and the young man answered them . The old man also looked at his tongue coating and raised his shirt to check his chest, abdomen, and back .
“How is it?” The young man who had assumed that there would be nothing wrong with him was confused by his actions . There should not be much of a problem, right?
“Didn’t we just have a physical examination last month? You were in good health back then, right?” Yang Guanfeng, who was standing at the side, asked .
“Yes, I had passed all the categories at that time, but I am quite overwhelmed and worried about the old man’s staring and prodding!”
The old man began to speak, but he still spoke in his local dialect . The two outsiders could not understand what they were saying at all .
“He said that you are in good health,” Miao Qingfeng said . “It’s just that you haven’t had a good rest recently . Be sure to rest more . ”
“Oh, that’s good to hear . ” The young man let out a sigh of relief .
“As for you, however…” Miao Qingfeng pointed to Yang Guanfeng .
“There’s something wrong with your body . ”

“Oh, what’s the problem?” Yang Guanfeng did not ask, but the young man beside him did because he was worried .
This captain of his was very stubborn and fiery . He would not even give his boss face when he was angry, but he was quite nice to people like him . He would always think of them when there was something good . People like him admired and appreciated their captain very much . Now that he had heard that there were some physical problems with his body, he was nervous . He felt even more nervous than when he thought that there was something wrong with himself .
“His stomach, intestines, and kidneys all have problems,” the old man said as Miao Qingfeng translated beside him .
“Ah, is it serious?” the young hurriedly asked .
“It’s not very serious, but he has to undergo treatment and recuperate,” Miao Qingfeng said, translating the old man’s words . “The first thing is to have a regular work and rest schedule, and to nourish your body with medicine . ”
“Do you want sone medicine to be prescribed?”
“Sure,” Yang Guanfeng said without hesitation .
“OK, wait for a moment,” Miao Qingfeng said . “You won’t be able to buy the medicine sold here outside . I ensure you that you will be able to feel the effect immediately after taking one set . ”
“I’ll have to thank you well then,” Yang Guanfeng said with a smile .
He knew there was something wrong with his body . It had been detected during the last physical examination . His gut was not good . He had some stomach ulcers, which had a lot to do with his irregular routine and diet .
After being in another room for a long time, the old man only came out holding a package .
“There are seven sets of medicine in it,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Take one per day . Take it one and a half hours after you’ve had your breakfast . Don’t forget . After seven days, you will be completely well . ”
“OK, thank you . How much is it?” Yang Guanfeng took out his wallet .
The old man waved his hand .
“It’s free . ”
“How can that do?” Yang Guanfeng disagreed . He still took out $500 and handed it to the old man .
“No!” The old man didn’t look very happy .
“You have to accept it, or I may be suspected of taking bribes,” Yang Guanfeng said .
“Can this really be counted as a bribe?” Miao Qingfeng asked . “Besides, it’s just a few of us here . If I don’t spill and he doesn’t spill, who will know?”
“You know, I know, and heaven and Earth know about it . Talk to this old man and persuade him to take it . ”
“OK . ” Miao Qingfeng said a few words to the old man, who then accepted the money .
“Well, that’s perfect . My heart feels at ease,” Yang Guanfeng said .
“Shall we go on?”
“Let’s continue . ”

The three of them wandered around the village . Along the way, they met some villagers . Miao Qingfeng took the initiative to greet them . When they met the children, he playfully tussled with them . It was apparent that the villagers got along well . The people’s style of communication was simple and peaceful . They also gave off pure and simple vibes . It seemed logical since they did not have too much contact with the outside world . It allowed for some ancient things and culture to be passed down .
“Captain Yang, how do you feel?” Miao Qingfeng asked .
“The people here are very simple, and they look very satisfied!”
That’s right . It’s satisfaction . After this journey, what he saw on the faces of these people were the smiles of satisfaction . He had been a seasoned criminal police office for many years . He knew what was real and what was fake . Those people’s expressions were not fake . They were all real . They were satisfied with this kind of life, no matter if they were old or young .
There were also children around .
“What do they do when they go to school?”
“There are schools in the stockade . There are people here who teach them,” Miao Qingfeng replied .
“How about high school and university?”
“They have to leave the village for that . ”
“When I came here, I calculated that it would take more than two hours to drive to the nearest town from here . If any children wanted to go to school, it would be very inconvenient, right?”
“It would be a little inconvenient . They can live outside,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“I see . I’m sorry . I was just curious, so I asked a little more . ”
“It is no problem,” Miao Qingfeng said .
Yang Guanfeng wandered around the stockade once more and found nothing unusual .
“Captain Yang, it’s already noon . After so much walking, you should be hungry . Shall I take you guys to taste the delicious food in our stockade?”
“Sure,” Yang Guanfeng replied .
The ate at Miao Qingfeng’s home . Miao Qingfeng’s sister was the cook . She was a beautiful girl . The food she cooked was fragrant . The ingredients were all local delicacies . The food was delicious . The cooking method was also very unique . With the secret seasoning, it tasted extremely delectable .
“Mmm, it’s delicious!” The young man kept raising his thumbs .
“Thank you,” Miao Qingfeng’s younger sister said with a smile . As soon as she smiled, she seemed even more beautiful . The young man was stunned by her beauty .
Thwack!
Yang Guanfeng kicked him under the table .
Son of a b*tch! Don’t disgrace me here!
“Captain Yang, would you like a drink?”
“No, thank you . ” Yang Guanfeng refused .

“It’s a home-made wine . It’s not very strong . ”
“No, I shall pass, thank you . ”
Miao Qingfeng smiled . “That’s a pity . This wine can’t be drunk outside . ”
After hearing that, the young man stared at the wine jar . He was a lover of alcohol and liked to taste good wine .
“Would you like a drink?”
“No, I have to drive!”
“Drive? Just stay the night here and leave tomorrow . You won’t be drunk after sleeping through the night . ”
“Drink some if you want to,” Yang Guanfeng said .
There were rules, of course, but sometimes they had to be tweaked accordingly to adapt . He had to take human feelings into account . He was a person who knew how to change and adapt . As long as it did not involve principle and moral issues, some things could be done with one eye open and one eye closed if it made people happy . That was one of the reasons why his subordinates liked to follow him so much .
“Well, thank you, Boss . ”
“Why don’t you have a drink as well?”
“No . Didn’t the doctor just say that I have a weak stomach? I can’t drink at the moment . ”
“A lot of medicinal herbs have been added to this wine . It has the effect of health care . Not only would it not increase the burden on your stomach, but it could also treat diseases . ”
“Have a little drink, Boss?”
“OK, just a little . ”
Yang Guanfeng took a sip . The wine was not spicy . It had a clear and unique fragrance . It was a slightly sweet and delicious drink similar to fruit wine .
“Mmm, delicious!” The young man took a sip .
“You won’t be able to drink this wine outside,” Miao Qingfeng said .
While drinking, Yang Guanfeng asked some questions, some of which had something to do with the case, but most of which had nothing to do with the case .
After the meal, they rested a while before going to the bamboo tower .
“Thank you for your hospitality . ”
“You’re welcome . ”
When the girl returned home to clean up the dishes, she found several hundred dollars under the place where Yang Guanfeng had sat .
What is this? She was a little stunned, but she quickly understood what the other party had meant .
“Strange outsider,” the girl mumbled .
“Where are you going?”
“Ah, is there a lake there?” Yang Guanfeng asked as he pointed just a little in the distance .
“Ah, yes, shall we go and have a look?”
“Yes, let’s go . ”
The three men arrived at the lake, which looked very clear . There was an island in the middle of the lake and several boats beside it .
“What is this lake called?”
“Soothing of Gods Lake,” Miao Qingfeng said .
“Soothing of Gods Lake? What a nice name . ”
“Do you see that little island in the middle? There is a unique plant on that island . It’s a kind of grass . It gives off a unique fragrance . It is a kind of medicinal herb, a precious medicinal herb . ”
Yang Guanfeng nodded .
They walked around the lake .
“Can I go up on the mountain to have a look?” He pointed to the mountain not far behind him .
“Yes, but we can’t go to some places . All the dead people in our stockade are buried there . ”
“I understand . ”
Miao Qingfeng led them up the mountain along a slightly rugged road . Standing on the hillside, they could see the overall appearance of the village . The buildings were tidily arranged .
Yang Guanfeng’s gaze fell on the lake . The one they had just seen .
