Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Ji Han and his team's mission objective this time was to find the source of the strangeness in Huanshan Village, so whether they stayed separately or together, they would have to enter the village. Therefore, everyone expressed that staying separately was also acceptable.

Soon, Ji Han and his group followed behind the villagers and walked into the village step by step. The village was much better than Ji Han and his group had imagined. Although some families still lived in mud-brick houses, most families had built brick and tile houses. When they reached the center of the village, they saw a three-story building that was in no way inferior to houses in the city.

"Father, you're back? Who are these people?"

A middle-aged man in a gray suit with slicked-back hair walked out of the small villa. An old man with a withered wooden cane saw the middle-aged man and seemed to be injected with new vitality. His back was no longer hunched and his waist no longer hurt. He walked with more energy and threw his cane on the firewood pile in the corner of the yard.

Ji Han and the others were stunned by the old man's actions. The old man then turned and laughed heartily at them.

"I'm really sorry, everyone. The higher-ups just held a meeting recently, asking us mountain villages to figure out how to get rid of the label of 'impoverished village.' We thought about it for a long time and came up with the idea of ​​developing tourism. What you just saw is one of the tourism projects we plan to add later: an immersive ancient village tour."

“Those mud-brick houses on the edge of the village are ones we’ve specially kept for tourists to visit in the future. Let me reintroduce myself to you. I’m Qiao Dashan, the village secretary of Huanshan Village. This is my eldest son, Qiao Wen. And these are all villagers from Huanshan Village.”

"Come, come, everyone, please sit inside first. The village committee office is a bit small, so I took the liberty of bringing you all to my home first."

Ji Han and the others, along with a group of villagers, entered the village secretary's courtyard. The most eye-catching thing upon entering was a gleaming minivan parked on the right.

To the left was a row of poultry and livestock sheds, such as those for chickens, ducks, and pigs. In a corner near the door of these sheds, a woman was chopping up a pile of rotten vegetable leaves with a kitchen knife. Ji Han and his group entered the yard noisily, but the woman never raised her head once, nor did she greet them. Similarly, the village chief did not seem to intend to introduce her.

Upon entering the main house, one is greeted by a very spacious hall. Ji Han scanned the house with his spiritual power and found that the first floor contained the living room, dining room, and kitchen, while the second and third floors were where people lived.

With more people than seats, apart from a few representatives of small groups like Du Xiuxiu and the village secretary, everyone else chose to stand and listen. The main point was to assign where Ji Han and the others would stay.

The village is sparsely populated, and most families with sons built houses with five large rooms, thinking that they would have enough room when their sons got married and had grandchildren. However, now most of the young people in the village, whether married or not, have gone out to work, which has resulted in many empty houses in the village that can be rented to Ji Han and his family.

The village chief explained the situation of the families with vacant houses in the village to Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu one by one. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were arranged to stay in a family not far from the village chief's house. The owner of this family was also surnamed Qiao. It was said that the village chief was a cousin of the same clan, named Qiao Jin.

Qiao Jin's family only has a son and a daughter. His wife passed away years ago, his daughter is in high school in town, and his son went to work in a big city. Therefore, there is a spare room for Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu to live together.

Shi Shaoyu chatted with Qiao Jin all the way. When they arrived at their destination, they thought no one was home at the Qiao family's house. But when they opened the door, they found a little girl sitting in the yard reading a book.

"Second daughter, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell your father? I would have gone to town to pick you up beforehand."

Er Ya Tou is Qiao Jin's daughter who attends high school in town.

"Dad, today is Saturday. We have a month off this week!"

Qiao Jin patted his head.

"Hey! Look at your memory, the village's been having this tourism thing lately, I've been so busy I forgot to pick you up! By the way, how did you get back this time? You walked all that way through the mountains by yourself?"

Second Sister shook her head.

"No, I ran into Uncle Wen at the foot of the mountain when I came back this morning, and he pulled me back."

When Qiao Jin heard that Qiao Wen had pulled Er Yatou back, he visibly panicked for a moment, but perhaps because there were outsiders present, he quickly regained his composure.

"Oh, you silly child, how can you trouble your Uncle Wen? Next time you come back, give your father a call beforehand, and I'll definitely come to pick you up, understand?"

The second daughter was embarrassed after her father spoke to her in front of outsiders. She pouted, gave a soft reply, and then ran back to her room.

"This child! Tell me!"

Qiao Jin looked at Er Yatou running into the house and smiled awkwardly at Ji Han and the others. Shi Shaoyu gently said that it was alright, that it was normal for a child to act a little temperamental, and that this was what made them lively and cute!

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's room was arranged on the far right. This room had a separate entrance. To the left of the room was Er Yatou's room, and further to the left were the living room, Qiao Jin's room, and the kitchen.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu's belongings were all in their spatial storage, and it wasn't convenient to take them out at the moment, so the two of them didn't have much to pack. However, Qiao Jin brought them two new quilts and two unused new basins...

Qiao Jin carried the items back and forth, making Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu feel that the forty yuan rent was worth it. Yes, Ji Han and his companions were staying at a villager's house. A room with food and lodging cost fifty yuan, while staying without eating cost forty ghost coins. Based on their experience from the first instance, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu decisively chose to stay without eating.

The two tidied up Qiao Jin's belongings a bit, and then, following the address they had found out, they left the yard and headed towards the village store. One reason was to see if they could buy some disposable toiletries, and the other, and most importantly, to see if they could find out any useful information.

The two walked slowly, scanning the surrounding houses with their mental energy. They had no awareness of invading people's privacy. However, apart from discovering that some families had some patriarchal attitudes, they did not find out any other useful information along the way.

The two arrived at the convenience store. In front of the store was a small flat area, and several elderly women from the village were sitting in twos and threes by the wall. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu smiled at each other. They had found the most well-informed news center in the village!
