Xiangbei’s experience of “time is unforgiving” is becoming more and more profound.

After staying up all night, he returned to the room and fell asleep. Although he told Luo Fangyi that he would wake up naturally, he was not so relaxed. His daily work pressure was like a tight curse on the top of his head, and he was tied firmly.

At half past nine, the alarm clock rang. Yingbei got up, turned on the computer, sorted out the previous materials, put them in the warehouse, and sent them back to the report agency. He browsed the news again to ensure that there were no missed reports in the Luohe Village incident.

After doing this, he looked at the time: 10:10. This girl should be fine. He tentatively sent Luo Fangyi to WeChat. Half an hour later, the other party replied: Sorry, Master, I just saw the text message and just finished washing up.

It’s good to be young, you can stand up and sleep. Moreover, you can be resurrected after a night of sleep.

"Eat the hotel meal every day, you're tired of it. Let's go out and eat, I'll treat you." Go back to the north and reply to a WeChat message.

The Xincheng Hotel is located in a remote location and is surrounded by small restaurants. The two of them drove around and felt unsatisfied.

"Forget it, Master, let's go back to the hotel to have a meal. You owe me a big meal, but I remember it in my small notebook."

"Big? Do you want to eat me back to before liberation?"

"It is impossible to eat poor, and it is impossible to eat poor in this life. After all, the master is a veritable uncrowned king, and he has his own halo."

"I'll give you a number. There are nearly two or three thousand paper media in China and hundreds of TV stations. This has not included websites, broadcasting, and industry media. There is also a number. There are more than 20,000 journalists nationwide. You have to know that this is the number of registered and certified journalists, and some online media and television media colleagues have not included them. So, I am just one of the army of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. Migrant workers, they earn hard-earned money, do you have the heart to take ruthless measures against your master?"

"Okay! Then I'll try to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, haha."

"There is another thing. The news that Xu Changlin came home last night was given to you by Pang Dong?" Xiangbei suddenly remembered what happened to Xu Changlin again.

"Yes, the message he gave me. But it wasn't last night, this morning, Master."

"Yes, yes. But why didn't he go, but gave you this news?"

"I don't know this. Maybe he thinks this news is of no use to him. Didn't he say it? Many pictures are not taken after taking them." Luo Fangyi analyzed.

"I'll give you such important news. It seems that this kid has a deep friendship with you." Xiangbei smiled.

"Master, why do I think you have something to say? He is not doing his job all day long and is too unreliable. The boat of friendship with him may overturn one day."

...

Xuchanglin's arrest made Luohe Village excited again.

As Xiangbei and Luo Fangyi saw, the atmosphere here was obviously more tense than the previous few days: no matter who, or more accurately, whenever strange faces appeared, they immediately became the target of the villagers.

However, there are two types of people who are exceptional. Not only are they not followed, they are regarded as distinguished guests in Luohe Village: one is media reporters. Unlike people in other industries, villagers have a natural sense of awe for reporters.

Another type of people involves a variety of people. When observing their words and deeds, they have several characteristics: in groups of three or three, in various accents, and strangers with old, young, men and women.

These people sway in Luohe Village from time to time. Sometimes they are in the village committee courtyard, sometimes in the small square in the village. In short, they go wherever there are more people.

When dealing with these people, the villagers were simple and enthusiastic, and they also felt that they were fresh. In the first few days, everyone would chat together in groups of three or five. Who knew that those outsiders were absent-minded in chatting. Their mind was not on the villagers, but on the media.

Why look for media? Because there are many reporters here, they also need to report the problem!

These days, the village has become a mess, and many villagers have not cared about it, including Luo Jingchen.

By chance, an insider revealed a message to Luo Jingchen: "These people travel around the country, and wherever they become hot news, they will run wherever they have more reporters. Some people have been living like this for decades."

"I know there are people like this, I knew when I read the news before. So drive them away?"

"Drive away? Can you drive away? Can you get rid of them?"

"What should I do? It's not OK to hurry up, and it's not OK to stay."

"Don't hurry up or stay. Don't pay attention to them. Remember to draw a clear line with them. Some of these people are entangled with them. Some of them have regarded this as their profession."

Luo Jingchen is a shrewd person. He quickly realized this problem and quickly developed a countermeasure - not contacting them or driving them out of Luohe Village. Why is this?

These people are hot potatoes everywhere they go. Their appearance in Luohe Village can be regarded as a "curve support" to the village, and in a sense it can also exert pressure. In addition, the King of Hell is good at seeing, while the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. These people are all-encompassing, but others have no choice but to them. What can this small Luohe Village do to them?

So Luo Jingchen hurriedly ran around and told him, and went door to door: "No one of you is allowed to contact those outsiders. We will solve the matters in Luohe Village by ourselves. We are different from them, so we cannot wade into this muddy water!"

Back to the point, the next day, the news of Xu Changlin's arrest exploded in the village, and all kinds of rumors about him spread quickly.

"Why did you vote for him back then? You guys just think he is rich! Something happened now!"

"I didn't think this guy Xu Changlin was like an honest man back then. What are his abilities and he made so much money? Is this kind of person reliable to be the leader of ours?"

"In the past two years, he has made a lot of money. He has to check it carefully. It's all our money, and he has to spit it out. No penny can be lost!"

"You guys see, Uncle Luo is our backbone. Young people are not good enough, they have no hair on their lips and cannot do things safely."

Luohe Village is bustling.

Some people join in the fun, and some people watch it.

The villagers were talking about it, which aroused great interest from many media. Everyone was worried that they could not find the topic, so they could not wander around the village every day to watch the fun. What's more, if what the villagers said was true, it was all very popular, and this small village at the forefront would definitely make it popular again.

So, in front of the camera, the villagers began to tell the things about Xu Changlin in a colorful way toward the microphone.

These rumors are spreading on the Internet. However, no matter how rumors are, people don’t know whether Xuchanglin is greedy for money and whether the questions everyone is talking about, so the matter gradually becomes silent and there is no further information.

But one thing is real: the press release of the Hedong Municipal Public Security Bureau has come out! This has been three days since Xu Changlin was arrested. As Luo Yuchen said, things will soon be revealed!

The case report was released through the official Weibo of Hedong Municipal Public Security Bureau. The specific content is as follows:

At 2:45 a.m. on November 23, a tent caught fire in Luohe Village, Xincheng Street, Xincheng District, Hedong City, killing 3 villagers and injuring 4 people. The public security organs investigated and determined that it was a man-made arson case.

After about two weeks of continuous fighting, the case was successfully solved recently. It has been found that in the early morning of November 23, Zhang, Li and five others rushed to the scene to carry out arson and fled. Another suspect Weng (legal representative of Dihua Real Estate Co., Ltd., is the construction site contractor of Luohe New City) and Xu (a villager in Luohe Village) are under further trial. At present, the 7 suspects have been criminally detained.

This is really a piece of important news! As soon as the news spread, it attracted a carnival among netizens.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" "The sentence must be re-incriminated!"... In just a few hours, there were hundreds of thousands of comments on Weibo.

This news actually made the official Weibo of Hedong Public Security Bureau a hot search, and the number of fans increased by more than 100,000 in half a day. In this Internet era, there are 10,000 possibilities for hits, but I’m afraid you won’t expect it.

In the media circle, a "war" began again. Everyone came to the Hedong Municipal Public Security Bureau like a chicken blood, hoping to learn more about the details of the case. Without exception, they were all turned away.

Xiangbei did not go to the Public Security Bureau to learn about the situation like his peers. Luo Yuchen told Xiangbei through Luo Fangyi: Regarding the case, the public security department can only publish so many cases, and the case files have been sealed. As for matters other than the arson case, we have to find out about other departments.

As soon as Xiangbei received the case report, he wrote the manuscript in the hotel room, which was only a few hundred words and sent back to the newspaper.

Xiangbei also heard about the various problems about Xuchanglin in Luohe Village, but he chose not to listen and not to report them. He could not control how such unfounded rumors were circulated on the Internet, but he would never write such unfounded news.

Although he is already a veritable old journalist, he has been traveling north more time between various departments in Hedong city for years, but he knows little about the countryside. This time, he has enough time to learn more.

The exhibition of the times allows everyone to move forward. Rural areas are no exception. In today's rural areas, men, women, young and old, every household has broadband, smartphones, and an elderly person in his sixties and seventies can still circle friends, group chats, and learn any information about the society they live in.

However, the popularization of emerging technologies cannot stop the increasing depression in the countryside. More and more young people are leaving, looking for a broader world, leaving the elderly to stay behind, and this kind of stay behind is not temporary.

The various experiences of Luohe Village have also made Xiangbei interested in China's "circle" culture for thousands of years. Chinese people like to talk about "circle" wherever they are. In the countryside, family, clan is a circle, and in cities, fellow villagers, alumni are a circle. "Circle socialization" maintains the operation of society in a sense. When a certain reason causes a certain member of the circle to be eliminated, the subconscious choice of other members is to seek benefits and avoid harm and draw a clear line.

However, this kind of relationship between society is not useless. Chinese people have valued family affection and filial piety for thousands of years. Such bonds are equally important to the operation of society.
