Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Chapter 392 Centrifugation

Lu Zhuo carefully lifted the half-broken cover of the well, then picked up the flashlight and shone the beam into the deep wellhead.

"Is he going to fall into the well?" Lu Zhuo's voice was filled with worry.

Wang Yiheng took the other flashlight and without hesitation put his whole body into the well. The space inside was limited and his movements seemed a little cramped.

"There's nothing in here. There are only rotten leaves, stones, and other miscellaneous things at the bottom, but there are no children." Wang Yiheng's voice came from the bottom of the well. It was a little vague, but one could still hear the disappointment in it.

Lu Zhuo stood by the well, his feet pressed tightly against the edge, holding Wang Yiheng's hands tightly with both hands. His nerves were tense to the extreme, fearing that the person in his hands would fall into the well if he was not careful.

"Brother, if you want to fall in, just fall in, but don't take me in with you!" There was a hint of fear in Lu Zhuo's joke.

Wang Yiheng laughed from the bottom of the well. "Okay, let go, my best brother."

His tone was relaxed, but Lu Zhuo didn't dare to relax at all.

Wang Yiheng took the long stick handed in from the wellhead and poked around in the well. After a long while, he said to Lu Zhuo, "Brother, pull me up."

Lu Zhuo gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull Wang Yiheng back. Wang Yiheng's body finally returned to the top of the well, and Lu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's keep going." Lu Zhuo patted his chest, calmed himself down, and then continued along the path with Wang Yiheng.

They didn't stop until they reached the village entrance. The staff at the village entrance had already received a notification from the group chat and were guarding the entrance with full concentration, not letting even a mosquito out.

"I didn't see it. Go over there and take a look."

Jiang Dunhao and Zhao Xiaotong came from another road in the village. After meeting the two men, they began to analyze the route in the village.

There are a total of sixty houses in Xintang Village, several of which are uninhabitable due to disrepair, while the rest are basically occupied by staff.

Although the roads in the village are not particularly complicated, there are some winding places, which makes it difficult to find a job.

Zhao Xiaotong picked up a pen and quickly drew the route they had just taken on a piece of paper. Then he pointed to the map and said, "We're sure we've searched this area, but we don't know which road Li Hao and the others took. And no one has replied to the messages in the group. Should we go look over there?"

Jiang Dunhao nodded in agreement, then he called Jiang Yan to confirm whether Jiang Yan had found the person.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yan's voice was a little anxious. He told Jiang Dunhao that she had not been found yet, and Zhou Qingran's crying could be heard next to him.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Dunhao said to the others with a serious expression, "Director Jiang hasn't found anything yet."

Hearing this news, Lu Zhuo couldn't help but feel very confused. He frowned and said, "We have been living in the village before, and the child has been running around. Nothing has ever happened. Why is it so strange today? First, a group of crazy people suddenly rushed in, and then the child disappeared inexplicably..."

"what!"

Wang Yiheng suddenly cried out.

A hand from nowhere grabbed the sleeve of his coat.

Wang Yiheng was frightened and tried to hide backwards.

The staff member then discovered the people hiding in the darkness and immediately stepped forward to pry the man's hands apart.

Lu Zhuo and Zhao Xiaotong quickly hugged Wang Yiheng and protected him behind them.

Jiang Dunhao also retreated several steps.

No one expected the uninvited guests from the day to reappear. The staff immediately called for help. He could only control two people at most; more than that was beyond his reach.

"Are you guys filming a new variety show here?"

"Why did you choose such a remote mountain village?"

"You're promoting a travel variety show, so why are you farming here?"

“Will you open a branch office in the future?”

"Do you live together? Who lives with whom?"

The incessant questioning was like the chirping of sparrows, making one feel a little uneasy. If it weren't for the phones that were almost thrust into one's face, one might have mistaken them for entertainment reporters digging up gossip.

When my eyes fell on these young faces, I became even more irritated. These children were still so young that I couldn't bear to say anything too harsh to them.

"There's nothing to shoot." Jiang Dunhao's face looked a little ugly, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face. "What on earth is there to shoot?"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of backing down, Zhao Xiaotong sighed helplessly and softened his tone: "It's so late, your parents will definitely be worried, go home quickly."

However, his good intentions were not understood by the other party, and instead they seized on the loophole in his words. Someone cleverly said, "Brother, it's so late, it would be very dangerous for us to walk on the mountain road. Can we stay here?"

Others also agreed: "Yes, yes! There are so many houses in this village, there must be empty houses."

"We're not picky, as long as we have a place to sleep."

There is an idiom called "getting an inch and pushing the limit", and another one is "getting ahead of others". When you meet such unreasonable people, there is really no way you can deal with them.

The four people could only keep retreating and keep a distance from each other.

At this time, the staff who arrived quickly surrounded these uninvited guests to avoid accidents.

Lu Zhuo turned around and pulled Wang Yiheng. He shook his head, indicating that they should no longer pay attention to those people's shouting, and that finding the child was the important thing.

"Hey, that's not right! Why are you stopping us?" Some people shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Where's Yuan Lai? She clearly said we can stay as long as we come."

"Yes, big brother! Little boy, don't go!" The other party's voice echoed in the night sky, sounding a little excited.

"Second brother! Can I live in the room next to yours?" This was an impolite question that felt awkward.

Another person suddenly said, "Brother, I want to eat grilled fish. Yuan Lai said we can have grilled fish."

This sentence seems to have nothing to do with the previous question, which makes people confused.

But when combined with the previous names, it is shocking.

The flame in the grill in the square has been extinguished. The grilled fish that should have been fragrant is now wrapped in tin foil, has lost its temperature, and lies limp on the grill, with no one paying attention to it.

Jiang Dunhao turned his head abruptly, "Yuan Lai? You said Yuan Lai invited you to eat grilled fish?"

"Yes! Mr. Ren said that as long as we come, we can eat grilled fish and get money. That's why we came. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to come so late at night."

The person who spoke did not seem to realize the impact of his words and continued to talk to himself.

"You four, don't move. I'll take a few photos of you. I'll print them and sign them when I get home. Maybe they'll sell for a good price."

Lu Zhuo approached the other three people and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you, I saw Yuan Lai and that guy of mine talking and laughing under the shed from the window!"

"When?" Zhao Xiaotong wondered.

"During the time we were hiding in the house."

Wang Yiheng pressed the issue, "Don't you think that man looks a lot like Mr. Ren? The way he walks, the way he speaks."

Zhao Xiaotong added, "Have you forgotten? When we first arrived in Xintang Village, Mr. Ren was dressed the same way, only his clothes were different."

Wang Yiheng suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, I remember now!"

"According to you, these people were all brought here by Yuan Lai?" Jiang Dunhao came to this conclusion.

Regarding this speculation, the four of them remained silent.

Although deep down they really didn't want to believe it was true, the facts before them made it impossible for them to refute it and they had no choice but to believe it.

"But why did she do this?" This question lingers in everyone's mind, but no reasonable answer can be found.

Li Gengyun hurried over from the other side of the river. He saw from a distance that the village entrance was in chaos. The staff were expelling several girls from the village and forming a human wall to keep them out.

Li Gengyun walked quickly to the streetlight and met up with the other four people. He noticed that their faces were all extremely solemn, obviously something had happened.

He saw Wang Yiheng's coat lying on the ground and muttered, "What a waste! Such good clothes are thrown away just like that. They can still be worn after washing them!"

He walked over quickly, bent down, picked up the coat, and dusted it off.

The brothers seemed to ignore his actions and no one responded to him.

He sighed helplessly and looked at Lu Zhuo, who was talking to the little boy and didn't notice his presence at all.

He had an idea and tiptoed behind Lu Zhuo, reaching out and gently grabbing Lu Zhuo's ear.

"Hey, are your ears stuffed with donkey hair?"

Lu Zhuo was startled and quickly turned around. Seeing that it was Li Gengyun, a smile appeared on his face. He took Li Gengyun's hand and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Li Gengyun replied, "Oh, we found someone walking downstream with a child. Hongbao and his team went after them, and on the way they ran into Director Jiang and his wife, who were also heading downstream. I was worried about you, so I came back to look for you."

"Do you know who it is?" Jiang Dunhao asked.

"I don't know yet." Li Gengyun shook his head.

"Let's go, let's go and reunite with our brothers as soon as possible." Zhao Xiaotong suggested.

"Gengyun! Come closer so I can take some cool pictures of you!"

Li Gengyun turned away indifferently.

"Ahhhh, stop stopping us. We were sent here by President Ren. Do you still want your salary?"

The other party seemed to have broken through the defense and attacked the staff crazily.

"Get out of here! I'm suing you for sexual harassment!"

The scene became a little chaotic, and the staff complained bitterly, but they did not dare to let go at all.

If they don't let go, at most they will get scratched a few times and bitten a few times. If they let go, if something happens, it will not be as simple as just quitting their job.
