On the other end of the video call, in the yard,

The middle-aged man said, holding the disposable paper cup that was somewhat deformed, his body trembled slightly, looking at the front of him, his eyes showed some fear,

“...... From the moment something was wrong with the little doll who was still alive, his parents took turns to accompany him all day and night, guarding him, for fear that something would happen to him......"

After a pause, the middle-aged man held the cup of tea and continued,

“...... It rained every night for the past few nights, and when it came night, it rained...... There was no moon in sight, and there was darkness everywhere outside the house......

...... His mother told me that that night, the little doll was still the same as before, and she was cowering in the corner, burying her head and looking straight at her heels...... Speak to him, and answer him, and keep silent...... It's just that sometimes, all of a sudden, he talks to his heels...... Just screaming and shouting, and shrinking back...... Like a man curled up at his feet...... It was as if he had seen something scary, his eyes widening and his hands scratching wildly...... I've seen it a few times...... I feel a little hairy all over my body......"

Looking in front of him, his eyes were distracted, as if he was recalling, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.

“...... At this time, his parents can only hold him...... But ah, it doesn't work...... He can only wait for himself to be quiet again, and when he is quiet, he will shrink there again like before......"

“...... That night, his mother, after feeding him some food with a rice bowl, carried the child back to the bedroom with the child's father...... As soon as she put it down, the little doll curled up again and shrank into the corner next to the bed......

...... That night, his mother was watching over him, and the father of the child had to go to work the next day, so he carried the child into the house, and after a few words with the child, he went back to rest in another room. The child's mother was in that room with the little doll.

...... The child's mother, first talked with the little doll for a while, and then told the little doll a little story...... The little doll was still the same as before, silent, and didn't react...... In the middle of the way, he looked at the front of his feet again, cried and shouted a few times, and woke his father up once......

In the middle of the night, the child's mother saw that it was late, so she comforted the little doll and lay down, so that the little doll could rest...... When the little doll lay down, it was curled up as if it were sitting, and the bed was leaning against the corner of the wall, and its eyes were open and closed, and it looked straight in front of her...... His mother, too, is not so surprising, from the beginning that the little doll was wrong, it has always been like this, and then the little doll will close its eyes by itself...... His mother, just watching, watching, watching the little doll close her eyes, then lay down on the outside side of the bed, and fell asleep slowly......"

The middle-aged man said, his body trembled slightly, and he paused again before continuing,

“...... In the middle of the night, when the mother suddenly heard a noise, as if something had hit the ground, it woke up the little doll's mother at once...... When I woke up, I felt that the bedroom was bitterly cold, making people shiver...... When she opened her eyes, another noise came from the hall, and she shuddered, and sat up from the bed, ready to go into the hall...... As soon as she sat up, she realized that something was wrong, and when the mother looked back, she saw that the little doll was gone...... In a hurry, the little doll didn't even wear her mother's shoes, so she opened the bedroom door...... Then I found that the door of the hall was open, and the previous sound was the sound of a strong wind blowing outside the house, blowing in and banging on the door of the hall...... After searching all over the house, but they couldn't find the little doll, the little doll's mother hurriedly shouted and called the child's father too...... The two of them were in a hurry, and they didn't wear shoes, so they ran out of the house......"

“...... Running out of the house, the child's mother and the child's father searched all the way, shouting all the way...... A few neighbors woke up when they heard the movement outside, walked out, and helped find ...... I lived in a place not too far away, and when I heard a bunch of people shouting outside, I got out of bed...... Knowing what was going on, I quickly knocked on the doors of a few houses, woke them up, and helped the whole village find ......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man's voice trembled slightly, his eyes widened, his eyes became more and more fearful, the paper cup he was holding was pinched tighter and tighter, and he trembled violently, as if he saw some terrifying picture again,

“...... In the end, I searched the whole village, but I couldn't find it...... Although I didn't want to, I took a few people and started looking for ...... along the river Start at the entrance of the village and follow the river all the way to find ...... That night, it was raining and windy, and it was pitch black everywhere, and the river was pitch black...... While walking, looking at the river, several people felt a little hairy in their hearts, and they felt that the river was like it was bottomless......

“...... At last...... At last...... Along the river, we found the kid......"

The voice trembled more and more, his eyes widened, his face, his eyes, frightened, the middle-aged man continued,

“...... At the end of the village, at the edge of the river temple, at the bottom of the steps where the little doll had fallen into the water...... Pitch black river...... This time, the water is not very urgent...... The little doll was wearing a cotton coat and no shoes on her feet, so she was lying on her stomach...... Lying in the water...... It's like the kid before, and there's no movement......"

Trembling all over, the paper cup in his hand was pinched more and more deformed, the middle-aged man stared, opened his mouth, feared, and couldn't say any more,

On the other end of the phone, in the courtyard, Uncle Tai and Second Uncle Lian stood aside, listening a little silent,

The old lady's eyes were a little red, she clenched her hands, looked at the front of her, and seemed to be thinking about something.

On the old lady's side, the young man, still with his head bowed, stood aside, silent.

Glancing at the few people on the other end of the phone, Lian Ge turned his gaze back,

"Speak slowly, don't rush. ”

With a calm tone, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and said aloud.

It seemed that Lian Ge's calm tone made the middle-aged man's fear fade a lot, and the middle-aged man picked up the cup of tea again and took a sip,

After taking a deep breath and calming down his emotions, the middle-aged man continued,

“...... At this moment, the villagers, the parents of the little doll, also rushed over...... In the same place, seeing that scene, the people in the village were a little hairy...... The little doll's mother fell to the ground in a limp, and the little doll's father jumped into the water himself, turned the little doll over, and dragged it up from the river...... When I turned it over, I saw that the little doll's eyes were still open, and it was staring like that, and its face was very frightened, as if it had seen something terrifying......

As he spoke, his voice trembled a little, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but pause again,

“...... Die in the same place, still like this, isn't it, isn't it ......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took another deep breath and calmed down,

“...... The villagers said that the little doll was afraid that it would become a water ghost at the beginning...... This is to arrest people as substitutes for the dead, to replace them...... Now, the little doll that was alive before is gone......"

“...... After the little doll was dragged out of the water...... The child's mother, crying so much, felt that she had harmed the little doll and harmed her child...... And then I want to jump into the river from there, to suffer for my own children, for my own children...... Fortunately, the people in the village who helped to find people were still there, so they quickly pulled the ......"
