Chapter 103 Performance Art
What made Lin Jing feel a little strange was that in the morning of this village, there was no pedestrian on the road, and... I didn't see any smoke coming out of any kitchen. You should know that coal is produced nearby, there are many villagers using coal here. Even if they use gas stoves, the range hood will exhaust the roof when cooking, right?
"Really! I came out to play with my friends in the morning, but I couldn't find anyone, so I found this place all the way." Zhou Li continued to talk to Lin Jing. After she came here, she heard something in the yard and saw Lin Jing, so she ran in.
"Do your grandfather know you're here?" Lin Jing asked Zhou Li in her arms.
"He is still sleeping!" Zhou Li touched the strange look of grandpa who was open when he was sleeping and said to Lin Jing, then laughed.
This is obviously a little girl who likes to laugh.
"I'll send you back. Grandpa will be anxious if you can't find it." Lin Jing thought about it and decided to send Zhou Li back to the Zhou family, otherwise the village chief Zhou Jianmin would definitely blame her.
The villagers are very taboo about this Wu family house.
"Where are you going?" Meng Gui also walked out of the yard and asked Lin Jing.
"Send Xiaoli back, otherwise her grandfather will be in a hurry." Lin Jing turned around and explained to Meng Gui.
"I'll go with you." Meng Gui thought about it and said to Lin Jing.
"Okay." Lin Jing certainly would not refuse. She hugged Zhou Li and Meng Gui and walked towards the Zhou family. After hugging her for a while, Zhou Li wanted to leave by herself, so Lin Jing put her on the ground, but held her hand.
"The people in the village are gone!" Zhou Li pointed to the gate of the courtyard and said to Lin Jing when she passed by a villager's house.
Lin Jing and Meng Gui also stopped. Meng Gui walked to the gate of the courtyard and found that the gate was not locked, so he shouted a few times outside the courtyard.
No one answered.
"I'll go in and take a look, you're waiting outside." Meng Gui and Lin Jing said.
"Okay." Lin Jing responded, then squatted down and said to Zhou Li... Little Zhou Li was obviously very curious. She wanted to go into the house with Meng Gui to explore, but Lin Jing was held back and refused to let her in.
The courtyard was very quiet and there was no sound of anyone talking or walking. At this time, the villagers should have gotten up early to cook, but there was no movement in the courtyard.
After wandering around the house for a while, Meng Gui came to the front door of the main hall, knocked on the door and shouted a few more times, but there was no response. So he increased the knocking sound and increased the volume of the shouting, but there was still no response.
This family built two floors, and the door of the entrance was not locked or tied from it. Meng Gui simply pushed open the door and walked in, and then searched up and down the first and second floors.
All the beds were neatly stacked, but there were no sleepers on them. Meng Gui couldn't find any of them on the two floors.
"I've checked everything inside, and there is really no one." Meng Gui told Lin Jing after leaving the yard.
"What's going on?" Lin Jing looked surprised.
"I don't know much, go to another house to have a look." Meng Gui said as he walked not far ahead, where another villager's house was.
Lin Jing pulled Zhou Li and followed him. This time Lin Jing handed Zhou Li to Meng Gui, and she entered the courtyard gate of that house... Just like Meng Gui's previous inspection, the courtyard gate and all the house doors were not locked, nor were they tied from behind, but all the rooms were empty.
Meng Gui and Lin Jing walked all the way to the center of the village and inspected several houses along the way, but no villager saw them.
Looking at the empty open space in the center of the village, Lin Jing looked confused: "What's going on? What about the villagers?"
However, at this time, two people came over from the opposite side of the open space in the center of the village. Meng Gu and Lin Jing quickly recognized them... One was a short-bearded man, Ma Wentao, an engineer from Yunfeng Geological Research Institute, and the other was Ji De'an, deputy director of Yunfeng Archaeology Research Institute, who liked to walk with his hands behind his back and thinking while thinking.
Seeing Meng Gu and Lin Jing standing here, Ma Wentao and Ji De'an jogged quickly here.
"Have you found a problem?" After coming here, Ji De'an from the archaeology spoke first.
"The villagers are gone, right?" Meng Gui replied to Ji De'an.
"It seems that you have discovered it too..." Geological Ma Wentao also interjected, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether it was horror or confusion.
"There are no ones, right? Isn't Xiaoli still here? I heard that the village chief is still here, and he is sleeping at home now!" Lin Jing corrected everyone's statement.
"Where is the village chief's house? We wandered around the village, but we didn't see anyone." Archaeological Ji De'an asked Lin Jing.
"It's there, Xiao Zhou Li knows." Lin Jing replied to Ji De'an.
"Where did you sleep last night? Didn't you sleep in the village chief's house?" Meng Gui asked Ma Wentao.
"We slept at Lao Wu's house in the south of the village. He had a lot of cultural relics collected, ancient coins, etc. He studied with Director Ji for a night, and then we slept at his house. But when we woke up in the morning, there was no one in the Wu family except me and me. We thought they were going out to buy vegetables, so we waited and didn't go back. When we went out, we saw... there was no one in the village. We searched everywhere and happened to meet you." Ma Wentao explained to Meng and Gu.
"Let's go to the village chief's house to have a look." Lin Jing suggested to everyone.
"Well, we are also preparing to find the village chief. If the village chief is there, he will definitely know what happened." Archaeological Ji De'an nodded and agreed with Lin Jing's proposal.
Of course, no one else had any objection, so everyone walked towards the village chief’s house together.
The four-year-old Zhou Li obviously didn't know what was going on. Although she thought that the people in the village were gone, now so many people suddenly appeared, she began to run around the crowd again, and she felt that she could not consume enough energy.
The village chief’s home is not far from the village central square. When everyone arrived at the village chief’s home, the village chief Zhou Jianmin had already gotten up and was washing his face in the yard.
There was no need for Meng Gu and Lin Jing to say anything. Ma Wentao and Ji De'an had already rushed over to ask the village chief Zhou Jianmin, and told the village chief Zhou Jianmin that all the villagers had disappeared, and then asked him what was going on.
"Is there such a thing? Isn't it possible?" Village chief Zhou Jianmin looked at the two of them with some strangeness. His son and daughter both went to work in big cities. On weekdays, he, his wife and his little granddaughter Zhou Li were at home. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't see his wife. He just thought she was digging vegetables in the field. The little granddaughter must have been taken by her. Unexpectedly, all the villagers disappeared!
"It's true. Is this a 'flash' game the villagers are playing? Performance art?" Ma Wentao asked Zhou Jianmin. Obviously he didn't really think so.
"How can the villagers be so avant-garde? It's impossible." Village chief Zhou Jianmin walked out of the yard, then went to the yard of the next house, shouted a few times before pushing the door and walking in... As a result, everything was like a horse. Ji and the others said, there was indeed no one inside.
Village chief Zhou Jianmin was unwilling to go to several other nearby yards to check one by one, but he still didn't see anyone. He couldn't help but look extremely frightened on his face.
"Has this happened before?" Meng Gui asked Zhou Jianmin.
"No." Village Chief Zhou Jianmin shook his head.
The situation was a bit strange now. All the people in Gujing Village disappeared except for the village chief Zhou Jianmin and grandson. Everyone who came to Gujing Village yesterday was still there... Except for reporter Zhao Nan and doctor Liu Ruifeng who left the village early in the morning.
At this moment, a shrill scream of a woman came from the northwest of the village, and everyone present heard it.
"It seems that something happened to me! Let's go over and take a look." Zhou Jianmin recognized the direction of the voice and ran towards the other side.
