Chapter 456 Golden Monkey Town

Gao Ge doesn’t know how the trouble of the Zhao Family is solved.

When he gets off the plane, he has received the message from Zhao Jin.

The message says that the problem has been solved.

It seems that Jiangnan City will be very peaceful in future.

Zhao Xing’s joining the Dragon Court is not a bad for the Dragon Court. Neither is it for the Zhao Family, especially when the Zhao Family was in trouble.

As to what the other members of the Zhao Family will think, or whether they will feel constrained, it will be Zhao Xing’s problem to worry about. Gao Ge doesn’t need to think about it.

Moreover, Zhao Xing is the master of the Zhao Family, who is not old and yet exceptionally vigorous in dealing with problems. He is arguably rendered as merciless and cruel. As such, the Zhao Family can be well organized and even thought highly of by the Dragon Court.

If Zhao Xing is an obsequious and indecisive man, Dragon Court won’t necessarily take him seriously.

Without any luggage, Gao Ge leaves the airport and takes out a phone to see the address of the sacrificed students. He hedges and then goes to the washroom first. In the washroom, he has his hands washed, tidies up his clothes in front of a mirror and takes a deep breath to calm himself down.

Then he leaves the airport and takes a taxi. He shows the driver the address.

Gao Ge is going to Golden Monkey Town.

Legend has it that the Golden Monkey Town used to be called as Li’s Town, which was divided into Upper Li and Down Li. However, in the Ming Dynasty when Zhu Yijun was in power, the Li’s Town was struck by a drought, thus making the farmers reap nothing at harvest time and causing a plague all over the town. At that time, a golden monkey appeared and ran throughout the town, leaving hundreds of fruits behind. The patients infected by the plague ate the fruits and amazingly became well. As a result, the town was renamed as Golden Monkey Town in memory of the monkey that helped the Li’s Town.

There are a lot of stories about the golden monkey. It is said that the golden monkey is the ape of the Governor of Mount Tai.

Someone also says that the golden monkey is transformed by the fur of Monkey King.

The second saying has appeared since the recent years. After all, when the monkey appeared, Wu Cheng’en hadn’t been born.

It is about two hours’ ride to go from the airport to Golden Monkey Town.

Within the two hours, Gao Ge is only resting with his eyes closed and his mind emptied, feeling the present peace.

When he arrives at the destination, he pays for the fare and gets off the taxi.

Golden Monkey Town is a small town but it covers quite a large area with a dozen of villages.

It is not time for the dismissal of the middle school in Golden Monkey Town.

In the early years, there were many students in the school, but recently, fewer and fewer students choose to stay. Most of them have followed their parents to the city. Two years ago, there used to be seven or eight classes of each grade. Yet, only three classes are kept. Worse still, as to the high school, there is only one class of each grade. For each class there are six students only. Undoubtedly, students are fewer than teachers.

As a result, it generates a vicious circle. With so few students here, good teachers will leave too. And parents can only keep running to the city in order to let their children better educated. In this way, maybe the middle school may be no longer in existence in several years.

It is gradually vanishing in history, caused by the rapid development of a country. Such a school is not rarely seen in Huaxia.

Initially, there were shops on both sides of the school gate, but now one of them has been closed. Only the other one is still open. Apart from that, some vendors are also seen there, including an old man selling stationary on a tricycle, a middle-aged woman selling milk on a cart and some selling snacks like spicy hotpot.

Staring at the pale faces and listening to the laughter, Gao Ge keeps looking around with a smile on his face.

After a while, he walks towards a vendor’s booth of spicy hotpot.Visit vi p novel. com

The spicy hotpot, which should be hotpot on sticks or oden, is strings of meatballs, beef, mutton, bacon and some vegetables placed in an iron pot for cooking.

“Madam, I’ll take one of these.” Gao Ge says smilingly.

The middle-aged woman wipes the sweat off her forehead. Although summer is over, the remaining heat is still very upsetting. With a piece of cloth put on her shoulder, she keeps wiping the sweat off her face in case it drops into the pot. Of course, it is not easy to have very clean and hygeian food in this environment.

Yet, since people always eat that, it is fine anyway. Likewise, we all know that we can’t drink unboiled water or eat unwashed fruits, but why can the fruits that have been washed with unboiled water be eatable?

When Gao Ge was at school, he always claimed that it was fine to eat the things that were not clean. It doesn’t make sense but after all, he has lived to now.

“What would you like to have? Help yourself!” The middle-aged man passes a disposable cup to Gao Ge.

Gao Ge fetches the cup and starts picking.

“5.5 yuan in total. I’ll charge you 5 yuan then. Fellow, I haven’t met you before. Are you here to visit your relatives?” The middle-aged woman says smilingly with a local accent. The accent is still understandable, which is not very different from mandarin, except that some of the words are distinctive. However, those words can also be comprehensible in context.

See?

It is very important to foster reading comprehension skills in school.

“Kind of.” Gao Ge thinks and then says smilingly.

“Come on. Here is the chair. Have a seat.” The woman says.

Gao Ge sits down seemingly obediently.

“You don’t look old. Maybe you and my son are about the same age.” The woman says grinningly.

“Yeah, more or less.” Gao Ge chuckles.

“But my son was not lucky. He passed away for the sake of the nation, leaving me and his sister behind. He was even awarded with a medal by the government!” Although the woman says with pride for her son, her disappointment and despair in her eyes cannot be covered. Her grey hair and the wrinkles around her eyes seem to be the perfect embodiment.

While having the spicy hotpot, Gao Ge keeps wiping off sweat.

“It is too hot to eat the spicy food like this!” The woman says laughingly.

Gao Ge puts down the cup and drinks up all the soup.

“You are selling this. How can you talk of it like that?” Gao Ge says smilingly.

“I was telling the truth! If I were good at other skills, I would not work on this. Now the business is slow.” The woman heaves a sigh.

Finally, the bell of dismissal rings.
