Chapter 180
Zhou Shui was not in a hurry yet.He firmly believes that the villagers will neither evaporate out of thin air, nor leave him to run away.Maybe after a while, everyone will come out from behind some invisible landscape.Then simply sit down and wait.Zhou Shui found a rock and sat down, looking down the mountain.

Time passed by every minute and every second.The village was still the same, and I don't know how long it had been, Zhou Shui checked his watch.Another thing that puzzled Zhou Shui happened—the hands of the watch still pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon.Zhou Shui remembered that the last time he looked at his watch was this time.Damn, the watch didn't move after such a big effort, or did time stand still?

Zhou Shui put the watch to his ear and listened, and the strong rhythmic "click" sound came clearly to the pinna of the ear—the watch was not broken.Whether the watch is broken or not, time cannot be stopped.Zhou Shui looked at the second hand of the watch carefully again, the second hand was still moving as always.Did you remember the time when you last looked at your watch?

Zhou Shui couldn't sit still anymore, he ran down the mountain quickly.Old Chen's house is not far down the mountain, and Lao Chen should still be sleeping at home.Damn, there seems to be something weird here, so don't run around alone.Zhou Shui pushed open the gate of Old Chen's house, but the courtyard was still quiet.The flowers and trees were still the same as last night, exuding a faint fragrance.

Zhou Shui pushed open the door of the living room, instead of entering the room directly, he first scanned the room where he was resting with his eyes.The door of that house was open, and Zhou Shui vaguely remembered that he closed the door casually when he came out. He took another look at the room where the three grandparents and grandchildren of the Hu family slept. This time he remembered very clearly that he came out. At that time, the grandparents of the Hu family were still asleep.Because Zhou Shui deliberately went to the door to listen, and there was a real snoring sound coming from inside.

Zhou Shui walked over quickly, but the Hu family was not there, and the quilts were neatly stacked inside.Looking at another room, Lao Chen is not there, and there is no one at home.Zhou Shui quickly ran to the side room again, where Lao Chen had burned incense and offered wine and meat this morning.These things must still be there, because these things are not like people, it has no legs, and it cannot move by itself.

But Zhou Shui was disappointed.The house was clean, neither incense burnt nor meat bowls were served.Zhou Shui was a little confused, what happened last night and this morning, Zhou Shui was still clearly imprinted in his mind, could it be a dream?No way.Even if it's a dream, it's true that I'm in Gaoshuling now, right?He was a guest in Gaoshuling, no matter how rude Chen Xiaoshu was, he would never leave Zhou Shui alone and leave him alone, he moved his forefoot, and immediately wiped away these traces.What are you doing, it doesn't make sense?Is there really a gap in time, and this moment is a gap in time?Or this period of my past has not been integrated into time?

Zhou Shui was completely bewildered.Ordinarily, even if there were no people in this small courtyard, and no meat or wine that had been served, Zhou Shui would not be so nervous. This nervousness was mainly due to the fact that there was no living thing in the village passed to him on the hillside just now.In that case, did everyone have an accident, or were they joking with Zhou Shui?Damn, the former is more likely to fail.

Zhou Shui calmed down for a while, and then ran up the hill quickly.He ran to a higher position than the one he stayed in just now. He wanted to take a look. Even if he saw a person, even a cow or a chicken, it would be a relief.Zhou Shui absolutely didn't believe that all the people in the whole village had an accident in one morning.Especially the people on my side, with their cleverness, even if there is an accident, they will definitely be able to squeeze out a gap to call Zhou Shui before.

The whole village still looked lifeless, although the sun was still shining brightly at this time.However, Zhou Shui found that the birds were still there, so time and nature were running.This was Zhou Shui's only consolation.Never in his life had he felt the song of birds be so kind as it is today.

At this time, the sky began to overcast.Is it going to rain?Zhou Shui tied up his clothes, he felt a little cold.Zhou Shui has experienced many ups and downs. Take the time when he was trapped in the underground palace as an example. A space of less than five square meters is surrounded by stones that may collapse again at any time, but Zhou Shui has never lost confidence. He firmly believes that there will be Method.The embarrassment is only temporary.

But today Zhou Shui felt helpless and helpless.Although he knew in his heart that losing self-confidence was the beginning of failure.Only a firm belief is the magic weapon to overcome difficulties.But where is the turning point? Although there is no danger to life for the time being, the absence of danger is only temporary. There must be a big problem behind it.Don't mention the solution now, I don't even know where to start thinking.Zhou Shui is now beginning to feel the frustration of failure. For the first time in his life, he is not so confident.

The sky in the mountains changed as it said, and now it started to rain.Zhou Shui was in a terrible mood, and the rain poured in from his collar. This little coldness was magnified by Zhou Shui's mood, and he couldn't help shivering a few times.

The rain started to get heavier, and Zhou Shui was anxious to find a place to shelter from the rain.At this time, he was 100 meters away from the elementary school, and he must have been soaked running down the slope.Zhou Shui looked around, and found a cave not far away.The entrance of the cave is as tall as a person, and it seems to be quite deep inside. From the perspective of Zhou Shui, the depth of the cave is a bit dark.Zhou Shui ran in after a few steps.Few people seem to enter this cave, and there are many natural vines hanging inside and outside the cave.Looking inside, there is a thick layer of dust on the ground, and occasionally there are small animal footprints printed on it, but there are no traces of people.It's quite deep inside, and the place where the sight is swallowed by darkness is not the end.The ground is not very smooth, but there should be no problem for people to pass through.Zhou Shui didn't think much, the heavy rain outside urged him, so he walked in quickly.

The real problem finally came.A cave, only more than 100 meters away from the school, there is no trace of people, is this normal?Looking around the world, any school with such a boundary around it would definitely be a paradise for students.However, Zhou Shui didn't think about it this time.Of course, Zhou Shui's major mistake this time is definitely related to the inexplicable disappearance of all living things in the small village.Zhou Shui is still at a loss for what to do now, if it were someone else, he might go crazy.

Zhou Shui walked into the cave.But he didn't go too deep, and his subconscious told him that there was something weird here.Zhou Shui stood at the entrance of the cave with his face facing outside.The rain fell unhurriedly, and Zhou Shui felt as if there was a wind reverberating in the cave.The entrance of the cave faces south, and the sun is sinking on Zhou Shui's right hand side.Where does the wind come from?The west wind blows in autumn, why is the south wind blowing?The south wind is not right either. If the south wind blows, the wind will definitely be mixed with rain.Zhou Shui didn't feel the rain coming in. Could it be that the wind came from behind?
Zhou Shui looked back subconsciously, because the sky was overcast, and he couldn't see a few meters away in the cave.Zhou Shui took out his flashlight.Zhou Shui's flashlight is very high-end, a strong flashlight used by the US military.Zhou Shui usually carried this hydro torch on his body all the time, it was a tool for Zhou Shui to identify jade wares.This kind of flashlight has strong penetrating power, and there are cracks or repairs on the jade, which can be easily seen under the illumination of this kind of flashlight.

Zhou Shui illuminated the depths of the cave with a flashlight, and the clustered flashlights disappeared in the dark depths.The effective irradiation distance of this flashlight can reach more than 30 meters. Such a long distance has not yet reached the end. It seems that the hole is deep enough.The rain didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, and Zhou Shui couldn't tell if he was anxious, surprised, or terrified. Anyway, he was somewhat confused now.Like a ghost, definitely a ghost, Zhou Shui walked a few steps deeper into the cave.

The wind really came out of the cave.There is a bit of rotten smell in this wind, yes, there is also a bit of fishy smell.Zhou Shui grew up in the countryside and is very familiar with this smell. To be precise, it smells like a chicken coop or a bird's nest.
