What's more important is that this village is still in Qiaoshan.
"Zhao Dongfang, if I follow what you said, I also discovered something very strange." An Keke suddenly said.
"What's going on?" I asked.
An Keke's words made me feel cold. There are too many strange things in this village. To put it more directly, the existence of this village is too abrupt.
"We have been in this village for a while, but so far we have not seen anyone else except those students. Where are the other villagers here?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then when I thought about it, I suddenly realized, yes, I didn’t see anyone else except those young people. Where were they? Maybe they went out to dig sweet potatoes.
Then An Keke shook his head and said, "Forget it, maybe I am paranoid. They are all in their own houses and have not come out."
I frowned. It was also a village, but what I saw in this village was completely different from what we saw in Zhaojia Village.
In our Zhaojia Village, we can see old people sitting outside their houses, lazily basking in the sun, chatting and spanking, but there is no such scene at all here.
I felt vaguely uneasy, and an uncontrollable strong desire to escape from the village arose in my heart.
But reason tells me that all fifty-five students from Jinzhong Middle School visited Qiaoshan three years ago, and the mystery of their final deaths may have something to do with this village.
I took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, "Let's go, it's a waste of time for us to wait here. Why not take the initiative to ask the aborigines in this village."
An Keke nodded with deep understanding, and then we both walked towards the interior of the village.
When we walked to a courtyard, the door to the courtyard was wide open. An Keke and I looked at each other, and then An Keke stretched out his hand and knocked on the door a few times. "Is there anyone in there?"
But no one responded to An Keke.
An Keke didn't give up, so he asked again, "Is there anyone inside?"
"Is there anyone in there?"
After An Keke asked several times but no one responded to us, we were finally able to confirm that the owner of this house was not at home.
"What should I do?" An Keke asked me.
After thinking about it carefully, I said, "Let's go in like this. It would be embarrassing if we happened to be bumped into by the owner of this house. Then even if the scholar meets Bing Youli, we won't be able to explain it. Let's go somewhere else."
Ask somewhere.”
When we were walking in this village, we met several young people on the road.
Looking at them, they looked a bit like they came here to play together. I couldn't help but think how courageous these people were. Fifty-five students from Jinzhong Middle School also visited Lushan Village three years ago, and then they went to Lushan Village on their way back.
Only one person survived, and the cause of death of the other fifty-four students has not yet been determined.
For a moment, I was in a trance. How similar the experiences of these people were to those of the students of Admiralty Middle School three years ago. They were both students and came here to play.
Will the fate of these young people be the same as that of the students of Admiralty Middle School?
Thinking of this possibility, I felt terrified. In a daze, I saw a group of flowers that should have bloomed in the sun, withering little by little, losing all their vitality and moisture.
No, I shook my head violently. Maybe this was just a coincidence. Time is like a naughty child, always creating random coincidences and playing with fools who think they have pried into the secrets of history.
"What are you thinking about?" An Keke touched my arm. "I think your face doesn't look right. Is it okay?"
Feeling An Keke's concerned gaze, I shook my head, "I'm fine. I was a little distracted just now and thought of other things, but those are not important."
An Keke looked at me deeply, "From the day you agreed to join the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, we have been partners fighting side by side. We have relied on each other along the way. Don't you still trust me? What's going on?
Just tell me directly, but don't take anything to heart. We can handle any huge difficulty together."
An Keke's words made my heart warm. I knew that An Keke had regarded me as a very important friend in her life, a friend she could trust between life and death.
I smiled, "Is there really nothing? And I'm right next to you. From the moment we came to Lushan Village, everything we have experienced together. Even if I really want to hide something from you, I can't."
It's not that I don't want to tell An Keke what I'm worried about, but it's just a kind of unfounded worry on my part, and it's a bit unfounded. Since we came to Lushan Village, she and I have escaped death many times.
Every nerve in my body is tense. For things like this that have no basis, you should keep them in your heart. The only effect of saying them is to make An Keke and I worry together.
An Keke smiled proudly, "You're right. I'm a policeman and the head of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. It's impossible for you to deceive me about anything."
After bickering with An Keke, my gloomy mood improved a lot.
While we were talking, she and I arrived at the door of another house.
Just like the previous times, An Keke stepped forward and then raised his hand to knock on the door.
We saw that the door was closed before, but An Keke just knocked twice and the door opened. It turned out that the door was only ajar.
"Is there anyone in the house?" An Keke asked politely. Her tone made people feel comfortable. He couldn't help but feel good about her.
"Is there anyone in the house?" An Keke asked again.
It's strange what's going on in this village. The doors of every house are open, but there's no one inside.
So everything comes back to the original problem we encountered, that is, apart from the students who came to play later, where are the original villagers in the village?
"An Keke, let's go in and take a look." I didn't hesitate this time, but said decisively.
I began to worry in my heart, would something happen to those people?
"Okay." An Keke replied succinctly, uneasiness also written on her face.
We just opened the door and went in.
After entering, An Keke and I frowned when we saw the scene in the yard, because the yard was so dirty and messy, with various items placed haphazardly on the ground.
"I'll go inside and have a look."
"Be careful, I'm right outside, just call me if you need anything." I told An Keke.
"I see."
An Keke said and entered the inner room, while I stayed in the yard and looked around at the items in the yard.
There are various farm tools placed on the corner of the yard wall, including rakes, hoes, etc.
I walked over and looked at these farm tools and noticed one detail, that is, there was a lot of dust on these farm tools. Although they were placed in the most conspicuous place in the yard, they looked as if no one had used them for a long time. There were dust on them.
It's already rusty.
It seems that my previous worries were not unnecessary.
"Zhao Dongfang..." An Keke hurriedly walked out of the inner room.
"There was no one in the house, and judging from the signs inside, this house had not been inhabited for a long time."
An Keke's discovery was the same as mine. I pointed to a nail rake and said, "Look at this nail rake used for farm work. It is already rusty. Farm tools are what farmers use to eat. Even if they are not used on a daily basis, they are not used."
I will throw them away casually, but take good care of them."
"That's strange. The young man Wenle we met when we entered the village told us that there would be a bonfire party here at night, but the villagers were not there at all."
Suddenly my heart moved, and a flash of lightning flashed in my mind: "What did you just say?"
"I said there was a bonfire party here in the evening, but the villagers were not there." An Keke looked at me inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
"No, that's not the sentence. Tell me exactly what you just said, without skipping a word." I said eagerly.
Although An Keke was confused, he still said, "That's strange. The young man Wenle we met when we entered the village also told us that there would be a bonfire party here at night, but the villagers were not there at all."
That's right, that's it. I snapped my fingers and finally figured out where the problem was.
At the beginning, I felt that the name "Bunraku" was very familiar, but now I finally remembered where I had heard this name before.
In Sister Hong's Xiangyun Hotel, the book "Love in a Fallen City" that Wang Xiaoyong gave to Sister Hong contained a note. The names of the students from Jinzhong Middle School who visited here three years ago were recorded on the note.
