Chapter 387 Taoyuan Village (4)
Taoyuan Village, located behind a narrow patch of bushes, is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although it is not yet dark, every household is already brightly lit.
Everyone coming and going seems to be the villagers inside, with rosy complexion and endless shouting. No matter whether they are men or women or the elderly, they all have happy and comfortable smiles on their faces.
Jun Li had rarely seen this kind of smile in big cities. In cities with a very fast pace of life, even rich people like Jun Li who had no worries about food and clothing found it difficult to show such a comfortable and satisfied smile.
"this…"
Jun Li looked at the Taoyuan Village in front of him, which really looked like a paradise. After being shocked, he only felt weird.
"Isn't it very similar to Tao Yuanming's 'Peach Blossom Spring'?"
Jiang Jincheng pursed his lips and frowned as he whispered, "If it weren't for the missing people entering this village, I would think this is a paradise hidden in the wilderness..."
Jun Li swallowed and subconsciously looked at Bai Ze, only to see that Bai Ze also had an ugly expression and his eyes were full of strong doubts.
"Wife?"
"Something is wrong... Jun Li..."
Bai Ze opened his lips slightly and took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the group of villagers who were playing and having fun.
"here…"
Bai Ze gently pulled Jun Li's sleeve and whispered, "No trick..."
"No tricks?"
Jun Li, Jiang Jincheng and the others were all stunned. Bai Ze was silent for a moment and then nodded with certainty: "No tricks... Not even a little bit of tricks..."
"Those who come and go are all people, living people..."
"There is no ghost in this village, no ghost aura, not even a trace of the existence or wandering of a ghost..."
"How is this possible!"
Jiang Jincheng wanted to refute Bai Ze's words first. He looked at the villagers of Taoyuan Village and immediately said, "If it's not Li Gui's doing, then what else could be the reason why so many people from all over the country disappeared in the same period of time and finally came here tacitly!"
"If it's not a trick, then what drove them here..."
Bai Ze was not angry at all when being refuted. Jun Li realized that something was wrong with Bai Ze. He seemed to be afraid... as if he was afraid of something.
Jun Li looked at the corner of Bai Ze's tightly twisted clothes and then reached out and held his cold hand.
"Honey, look at me first."
Jun Li rubbed his head soothingly, held him in his arms and patted his back gently.
"Wife, what are you afraid of? There is no ghost here, so is there something that scares you?"
Bai Ze pinched Jun Li's clothes until his fingers turned white. He shook his head gently and nodded. After a long time, he said, "Do you remember that I felt extremely uncomfortable in the snowy mountains because of the power of the Lhasa Catholic faith?"
"here…"
Bai Ze swallowed hard and said word by word: "There is also a force of faith here, but it is very weak, not as strong as Lhasa. After all, this is the real land of God... But..."
"Jun Li... Why does a village have the power of faith... This power of faith is not strong, but because the last time I went to the snow mountain, it left me with a psychological trauma..."
Bai Ze finally asked the question he wanted to ask. He looked up at Jun Li and said word by word, "In general, villages do have activities such as worshipping mountain gods and sea gods, and this does lead to a faint folk belief, but I don't understand... just like what Officer Jiang said..."
"If it's just a folk belief, then why are there people missing, and what's the reason why they gather here..."
"There's something wrong with this village! Junli is definitely not normal here! There is power of faith here but it is definitely not a normal folk faith!"
Bai Ze's hands were shaking. It was obvious that he had suffered a severe psychological trauma from the last experience on the snowy mountain, so much so that a slight trace of faith power stimulated him to react.
"If my wife feels uncomfortable, can we stay inside the jade pendant?"
Jun Li felt his trembling body and leaned over to hug him with some concern. Bai Ze hesitated for a moment and shook his head. He explained softly: "I am just afraid because of what happened last time. To be honest, the power of faith in Taoyuan Village is extremely weak and will not affect me at all..."
"Maybe once bitten, you'll be afraid of the rope for ten years... I just remembered the unpleasantness before."
Bai Ze sighed and turned his gaze back to the group of villagers: "Now if we want to investigate, we can only enter the village completely. We probably have to stay here for a while before we can find a chance to peek into the village's secrets."
"Then shall we go straight into the village now?"
Xiao Ling thought for a moment and looked at Jiang Jincheng as if seeking advice: "Uncle, I originally thought that we should make a plan, but I think this would seem too deliberate."
"To the naked eye, this village is no different from an ordinary small county town. In fact, the villagers' happiness index seems to be quite high, which is why there is a prosperous scene similar to that of a harmonious society."
"It would be easy for us to blend in and gather intelligence if we pretend to be tourists. If we ask too many questions, it would be..."
Xiao Ling paused and then spoke: "And since they are all normal humans, we can actually get some information from them once we get to know them better. Since the missing cases involve people from all over the country, we will definitely be able to find them in the village! When the time comes, we just need to find a chance to get some information from them and find out why they came here, and we will know what the secret is!"
Jiang Jincheng was pleased to hear that and slapped him on the head: "You are smart now! To be honest, I didn't plan to deploy troops from the beginning. You see, I didn't bring other police officers with me, just to prevent any problems from happening if there were too many people!"
Xiao Ling grimaced in pain, covered his head and forced a smile: "Uncle, then did you bring me along because we are close?"
"That's not the case."
Jiang Jincheng suppressed his smile and explained, "I just think you are a bit stupid and usually listen to me."
"Besides, you don't look like a policeman. You won't be recognized if you pretend to be an ordinary tourist. The others standing there are policemen. They are standing straighter than telephone poles. It's hard for you to pretend to be an ordinary person."
Xiao Ling: …
Bai Ze noticed Jun Li's gloating smile and mocked him without hesitation: "You are no better than me. It's harder to be exposed if you are so stupid."
Jun Li: …
Jun Li and Xiao Ling looked at each other and saw a hint of mutual sympathy in each other's eyes.
A few of them walked into this village which was the same size as a small county town. After strolling around casually, they were even more amazed.
There is no difference between it and an ordinary small city. The only difference is that the happiness index of the villagers living here is really high. In today's era when social pressure is too great and young people have no money to buy houses, every household here lives in a large detached villa, and the luxury cars they drive are not even worse than Jun Li's.
"Damn... I never thought there was such a place in the world..."
Jun Li smacked his lips and hesitated to speak. Jiang Jincheng nodded and said, "I know what you want to say. I don't know how to evaluate the pace of life of the people here. You will find that their enthusiasm for work is very high. Almost everyone has their own things to do."
"The most incomprehensible thing is that normal people would find work tiring and annoying, right? Look at the smiles on their faces! Are they really working? Why do they feel like this kind of labor is a reward for themselves?"
Jiang Jincheng's words made Jun Li fall into deep thought. Indeed, there were many things here that could not be explained. Bai Ze said that there was no strange aura here, but instead there was a faint force of faith...
So what do the people here believe in... Was this village created by the person who is believed by the villagers?
Is it because the villagers believe in it that they are given such an enviable material life?
But if it is a normal religious offering, why would people disappear?
There are too many mysteries in this village. It seems peaceful and tranquil, but something is wrong everywhere...
